Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 213

Chapter 213: The tattoo under siege

Xiang Yu’s fingers moved with practiced precision as he picked up several handguns, his eyes never leaving the surveillance monitors. The cold metal of the weapons felt reassuring in his grip. He dialled Old Song’s number, the phone ringing loudly in the otherwise silent room.

Old Song, who had long fallen asleep, jolted awake at the sound. He answered immediately, his voice groggy but alert. "What’s wrong?"

"We are under attack," Xiang Yu said, his voice calm but urgent. "Some gunmen broke in."

Old Song was already on his feet, pulling on his jacket. "Is anyone hurt? Do you need backup?"

"No," Xiang Yu replied, sliding a knife into his boot. "Just get a cleanup crew for me. It’s going to be very messy."

"Okay, okay," Old Song said, his voice steadying. "I will call them. Just be careful."

"Thank you," Xiang Yu said, hanging up. He strapped on his holsters in a hurry, sliding the guns into place and securing another knife at his waist. His eyes flicked back to the surveillance monitors, noticing a lockdown button on the panel. A smirk tugged at his lips as he pressed it.

Outside, Yee Ming stepped out of the car, her gold stilettos clicking against the asphalt. Her son draped a fur coat over her shoulders as she took a drag from her cigar, exhaling a cloud of smoke. "Mum, you don’t have to be a part of this," he said, concern etched on his face.

She glared at him, her eyes cold. "Give me the gun," she demanded. Reluctantly, he handed it over, and she walked towards the tattoo shop, her bodyguards flanking her.

As they crossed the street, the shattered shop glass walls were suddenly covered by hard metal panels that descended from the top, sealing the shop like a fortress. Yee Ming quickened her pace, but the shop was completely locked down before she could reach it. With a loud bang, she struck the metal walls in frustration. "What the fuck is this?... Shoot your way in!"

One of her men raised a rifle and fired, but the bullets ricocheted off the metal, striking another man in the leg. "Stop stop stop!" Yee Ming commanded. "Carry him away."

Her fingertips traced the cold metal wall as she realized she wasn’t just dealing with a minion in the Han clan. Xiang Yu was no ordinary man. She glanced up at the surveillance camera, her eyes narrowing. "Fucking coward," she spat. "Why don’t you come out and face me?"

"Then let’s find the button to deactivate the system," another suggested, his tone desperate. _{freёwebnovel.com}
