"as well as……"
As Airi spoke, the thread that had just killed A3 suddenly wrapped around her neck:
"As the captain of Team A, if a team member betrays me, the captain is responsible... Miss, I'm sorry that I can no longer serve you..."
Before Airi could finish her words, Molly quickly ejected the steel claws and placed them against her neck.
"Miss!?"
"Take back your thread first."
Molly said softly, her voice calm.
Airi's thread had been wrapped around her neck, with no gap for insertion. Molly didn't know if her steel claws could cut Airi's thread. If she failed, she would definitely not be able to save Airi, who was determined to die.
That's why Molly used this method.
Use your own life to threaten Airi so that she won't act rashly.
Of course, even if Molly pierced her own throat, nothing would happen to her, but Airi didn't know that.
So Airi stopped decisively, not daring to continue, and instead looked at Molly with great concern:
"Miss, I..."
"This is an order."
"..."
Molly's attitude was firm, so Airi had to follow her orders and retract her thread.
After confirming that Airi had taken back all the threads, Molly let out a sigh of relief and put her hand down, questioning in a stern tone:
"What were you doing just now!"
"Miss, A3 betrayed me. As the captain, I have equal responsibility..."
"A3's betrayal is his own business, and he cannot resist the authority from a higher level. You are different from him!"
"Same, Miss. I am also a secret guard of the Mo family. Although the head of the family seems to have handed over all my authority to you, I am not sure whether there is a backup plan. If there is a higher level authority that covers your authority, I will definitely take action against you at that time.
"In order to prevent this from happening, dying here is my only option. Tools that harm their owners are not qualified tools and should be cleared away."
Airi's voice was calm, as if she wasn't talking about herself.
Molly was speechless and took a step forward to help Airi up from her kneeling position, but Airi suddenly said loudly:
"Please stand still, young lady!"
"..."
"I don't know when A3's authority was overwritten. It's very likely that he just received the order, so... I may also receive the same order as him when the lady approaches me... I can no longer be trusted, Miss. In order to avoid you getting hurt, please stay away from me... Eh?"
Airi hadn't finished her words yet. When she was halfway through her words, Molly walked up to her and hugged her in her arms, regardless of the blood on her body.
Embracing Airi's body, Molly gently stroked her back and said softly:
"Look, it's okay."
"Miss……"
"You didn't hurt me, and you didn't mean to do anything bad to me, right? So it's okay, it's okay..."
Molly hugged Airi tightly and refused to let go.
She knew that if she just abandoned Airi like that, this girl who valued Molly more than anything else would end her life on the spot.
And without hesitation.
Molly didn't want to see this happen, didn't want Airi to lose her life because of something that hadn't happened yet.
The one who was wrong was not Airi, but the 'behind the scenes' who manipulated the authority and caused the secret guards to betray. Airi herself did nothing wrong.
And didn’t Airi say that Molly still had the highest authority? Molly chose to believe it.
But Airi didn't believe herself. Even when Molly hugged her, she didn't look happy at all.
She looked as if she had lost her soul, and said to Molly with lifeless eyes:
"Miss, I can't guarantee your safety. I'm no longer suitable to be your secret guard..."
"Whether it's suitable or not is up to me! Anyway, calm down now, don't think about dying, and don't leave my side. Do you understand? This is also an order!"
Molly said very firmly.
At the same time, he sighed secretly in his heart.
As expected, anime are all lies. Normally, if I did this, shouldn't Airi be so moved that she burst into tears and then give up the idea of self-understanding and become more determined to be Molly's bodyguard?
Why is Airi reacting like this now...
It seems that I am not suitable for persuading others. I should make a skin with the skill of "mouth persuasion" when I have time...
Chapter 144 You Won’t Betray
Chen Qi's betrayal and attack hurt Molly very much.
Except for the bodyguards who went out to fight with the mysterious team, most of the bodyguards either lost an arm or a leg, and even Cowboy's arm was cut off by Chen Qi's flying weapon.
But what is surprising is that no bodyguards at the casino died, but several bodyguards who were fighting with the mysterious team were killed.
Baihu was also fine. Although she was beaten badly by Chen Qi and her body was almost broken, thanks to her identity as a high-level transformer, this level of injury was only serious and not life-threatening.
After going back to the hospital and staying for ten days or half a month, you will be almost recovered.
The cowboy's arm was cut off. Although current technology allows severed limbs to be reattached, the cowboy has no intention of reattaching the original arm.
He spent a lot of money and went to Emil to exchange for a silver prosthetic body of the "Thug" series, with a shotgun and a howitzer hidden in his arm.
It is more advanced than the prosthesis that Black Hand had.
The cowboy even said with a smile that his future code name might be changed to "Silver Hand", but this was rejected by Molly.
After all, the name 'Silver Hand' is a very legendary code name in a certain game, and the current cowboy... to put it bluntly, he is not worthy of it.
This codename cowboy may not be able to bear it.
In short, everything has settled down, except for one thing that makes Molly feel a little uncomfortable.
That was Airi's attitude toward herself.
After experiencing Chen Qi's betrayal, Ai Li has been actively distancing herself from Molly. Although she is still protecting Molly, she will never do anything too intimate with Molly again.
In the past, even when taking a bath, Airi would ask for Molly's opinion and wanted to go in to "protect" Molly.
As a result, she doesn't even mention it now. If Molly gets a little closer, she will use her prosthetic body to quickly move away, which makes Molly feel uncomfortable.
Of course she knew that Airi did this because she was afraid that she would hurt Molly.
But Molly is not afraid of these. The time she has spent with Ai Li is enough for Molly to develop full trust in Ai Li.
Besides, the secret guards couldn't cause any harm to the Mo family's children. At most, they would just kidnap Molly. There was really no need for Ai Li to stay so far away from him.
But Molly said it was useless. Even if she gave orders, it would only make Airi lose the idea of committing suicide.
So there was no choice but for Molly to call her cheap father Mo Xinling.
“…That’s how it is.”
"I see. The secret guard betrayed me? This is indeed no small matter."
Mo Xinling's tone on the other end of the phone became heavy.
Molly asked bluntly, "This wasn't something you did?"
"Lily, what do you think of Dad? How could I kill my own daughter?"
Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, let alone the fact that Mo Xinling loves his little daughter so much, how could he possibly do anything to hurt Molly.
"If it's not you, who else in the Mo family has the highest authority?"
"A lot... a little, but I can't imagine them doing anything to you..."
"Would it be convenient for me to know?"
"…I'd better not say anything until the matter has been thoroughly investigated."
Mo Xinling's voice was full of fatigue.
Fighting within the same family and blood relatives turning against each other are the things that Mo Xinling least wants to see.
Whoever this person was, he didn't want to tell Molly the truth.
At least not now.
"All right……"
Molly understood Mo Xinling's thoughts. There were only a few high-ranking members of the Mo family anyway. By using the process of elimination, she could guess who the person with high authority was.
These people were either Molly's uncles or Molly's biological brothers. In order to prevent Molly from being too sad about the news, it was understandable that Mo Xinling was unwilling to tell her.
"I will talk to her personally about A1's matter, but are you really comfortable with her being by your side?"
Changing the subject, Mo Xinling asked curiously.
"Didn't you say that she's already mine? Since she's mine, then of course I'm relieved, or... did you lie to her and me as well?"
"Hahaha, don't worry. If I say she's yours, then she's yours. I got it. I'll contact her right away. Just wait for the news. Oh, one last question."
"explain."
"When will you come back? New Year's Eve is only two months away."
The New Year's Eve that Mo Xinling was talking about was not the lunar calendar, but the Gregorian calendar. It was already October now, and the weather was gradually getting colder. It had already snowed in places further north.
It will soon be the end of the year. According to the tradition of the Mo family, the young men and women should go back to reunite with their families at this time. Molly has been away for so long, so of course she is no exception.
Although Molly didn't really want to go back, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that what she was doing in the City of Chaos was not particularly important, and now the guy who wanted to kill Molly had already reached into the City of Chaos.
It's the same at home or in the city of chaos.
Another key point is that Molly wants to find out who wants to kill her.
Molly was already tired of the repeated attacks.
There is a saying that a thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can't be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. It is impossible for Molly to be on edge every day and stare at the killers who want to kill her.
All of this needs to be solved from the source.
Therefore, if she had time, Molly would probably really go back to the Mo family and personally hunt down and kill the person who was hostile to her.
Only in this way can Molly feel at ease.
"Let's see, at the end of the year... maybe I'll go back?"
"Okay, okay! Be sure to call me before you come back, and I'll send someone to pick you up."
The cheap father on the other end of the phone seemed very happy. He chattered happily to Molly for a while, and finally hung up the phone in response to Molly's impatient attitude.
After the call ended, Molly leaned back on the sofa and stared at the ceiling of her house.
Go home...
Molly can go home, but... Moli will never be able to go back...
……
Airi stood guard at the door of Molly's room, and she didn't dare to follow Molly into her bedroom.
Airi had dared to do it before, and if Molly didn't care, she might have done something more intimate.
But now she dared not do anything.
Because she is a secret guard, her actions and thoughts may not be under her control.
Originally, this was good for the Mo family. The secret guards' duty was to protect the Mo family. What they needed was a tool that could protect themselves, not a person with thoughts.
Airi has also been trained as a tool.
Molly's tools.
In fact, every direct descendant of the Mo family has a secret guard who is devoted to that direct descendant wholeheartedly.
They have been looking at pictures of the people they are supposed to protect since they were young, and their heads are instilled with the idea of "must keep him (her) safe". They have been brainwashed like this since they were young, and the end result is that they are particularly loyal to a certain person.
And everyone else except this person is not within their consideration.
