NIKKE, when the stars bloom

The grace and composure that she had shown when she threatened to cut the snake's face had disappeared without a trace, and the woman was seen struggling like crazy, propping herself up with her elbows regardless of the pain, and dragging herself backwards.

she was wrong

She shouldn't have threatened those petty nobles who were already cornered, nor should she have been so naive as to think that she could negotiate with a madman.

"I'll give you this hotel, I'll give you all my assets..."

Ivis Bernard, with disheveled hair, screamed hysterically. However, when she turned back to beg the lieutenant to spare her life, she was horrified to find that the man had already walked towards the elevator with a gun.

Ding-dong-

The ringtone is crisp and light.

The gunshots were not to be outdone, and immediately congratulated the security personnel who were responsible for transporting fuel in the elevator.

He, he hasn't forgotten yet?

He watched Waite, who was trying to escape, being knocked to the ground by the jackal who was following the orders of the viper, and he watched the lieutenant carrying fuel walk back to the casino step by step.

Elvira, who had forgotten the pain of the gunshot wound, watched as Phoenix soaked Waite's right palm with fuel, dislocated his shoulder joint, and finally hung him under the guardrail on the second floor of the casino and set his fingers on fire...

"Let them continue."

"Understood~"

Ignoring the security team leader's shrill screams that seemed like retribution, the lieutenant's hoarse and low voice and the sweet and playful voice of the venomous snake were intertwined like glue, which was weird yet natural.

"Then please welcome the next one~"

The girl played with the pistol excitedly, her face filled with happiness visible to the naked eye.

"If Miss Bernard dies prematurely from excessive blood loss, the bullets fired afterwards won't count~"

Chapter 216: The Viper's Extreme Comeback

Ivis Bernard, an ambitious woman.

In order to gain the trust of her uncle, Sander Bernard, she personally sent her father to prison on the day she graduated from college at the age of 22, and handed over all her evidence to her uncle.

After that, this woman spent another five years to gain a foothold in the brothel in the Outer Edge Area, and then she schemed and successfully established a relationship with Deputy Commander Duowan.

That year, Ivis was twenty-nine years old.

Even if you look at the entire Ark, there are not many women with her ability, and there are even fewer women who can surpass her.

If we have to name a more representative one, it would be Ingrid, who is four years younger than her.

However, in Ivis' eyes, the reason why the CEO of Pure Land can achieve what it has today is just three words - good luck.

Due to the sudden death of the former CEO, the board of directors of Pure Land took the opportunity to push a puppet to power, and the finance department was not willing to be outdone and fought against it.

As fate would have it, the two forces chose her during the fight - the youngest deputy minister in the history of the administrative department.

and then?

This woman who was unable to break the deadlock finally set her sights on a crazy lieutenant named Phoenix. Not only that, it was said that she blatantly slept with the crazy man in the rehabilitation center.

It's all just good luck.

Just like her, it was all just bad luck.

boom--! ! !

When the last dandy nailed the letter of surrender into Ivis's lower abdomen, the last trace of unwillingness completely withered in the woman's mind.

Ivis Bernard, dead.

Their death was not much better than those who were tortured and humiliated by her.

"Dear~~~"

Glancing at the corpse lying on the ground like a rag, this was the first time in Viper's life that he had successfully taken revenge on a noble of this level. The joy in his heart could no longer be expressed in ordinary words.

She tried hard to muster up her courage, carefully and lovingly put her arms around the lieutenant's arms, then lowered her head, pursed her lips, and tentatively moved into the man's arms little by little.

Very warm and safe.

Coupled with the faint smell of hormones in her collar, the girl felt that her brain, which had been thinking intensively for 24 hours, suddenly stopped at this moment.

I don't want to pay attention to that last noble, I don't want to pay attention to the idle jackal, I don't want to pay attention to anything, I don't want to think about anything.

At this moment, the venomous snake just wanted to hug the man and sleep.

It had been a long time since she had become Nikki and slept without letting her guard down.

"very tired?"

"Eh?"

The lieutenant's sudden question made Viper raise his head subconsciously, and his eyes, which were filled with fatigue, suddenly showed a hint of flattery.

The care she had always fantasized about and longed for appeared before her in such an unexpected way.

"Well~ I'm just thinking about the follow-up plan for this hotel~"

The girl quickly perked up, but just as she was about to put on her signature smile, the man's voice unexpectedly beat her to the punch.

"Actually, you don't need to fake smile in front of me. You're tired of smiling, and I'm tired of watching you, too."

"..."

Hearing Phoenix's words, Viper felt his soul suddenly shrink.

For a moment, she thought the lieutenant was tired of her. If it weren't for the reassuring tenderness in his eyes, the venomous snake, whose mood fluctuated greatly, would have almost shed tears in her eyes.

There's nothing I can do about it. Someone's words are also applicable to breakups.

"Really~ Dear, please don't say such ambiguous words in the future!" The girl came back to her senses and pouted her lips in dissatisfaction. She wanted to continue muttering something aggrievedly, but she resisted the urge and changed her words:

"Let's go! Let's search the rooftop. Since it's a hotel owned by the Bernard family, we might find some unexpected surprises~"

"……Um."

……

……

Time will never bother to chat with people who are focused.

When Phoenix, Viper and Jackal cleared the necessary obstacles along the way and conducted a preliminary search of Ivis's boudoir, study, and office area...

The clock has already moved on to the late night.

Standing on the terrace on the top floor of the hotel, Phoenix silently looked at Viper who was sitting by the swimming pool and splashing water with his feet, quietly accompanying him to spend the night.

Unfortunately, the girl obviously didn't intend to waste the alone time she had fought so hard to gain in this way.

I only heard her say, "Honey, do you like standing on high places?"

"High place, which high place?"

"Well... just answer whichever you want to answer, dear. I'm not picky~"

"...I don't like them. I don't like either of them."

"..."

Crash, crash, crash ~

The water splashed the snake's silence, and after a while, the girl said softly:

"Then why did my dear climb up step by step...

Waiting slowly until retirement, or simply surviving on the surface, these are easy for you dear."

"Because if I do nothing, something I don't like will happen to me, so I have to choose the lesser of two evils and climb up."

The man was accidentally opened up by the venomous snake, and for some reason he spoke out his deepest thoughts.

“Although I know that even if I do nothing, humanity will surely win somehow.

but……

I just feel really bad about it.”

As he spoke, Phoenix's memory returned to the surface, back to the night when Anis's right leg was implanted with the erosion virus.

“Those bastards needed Nikki, but they didn’t believe that Nikki was truly willing to sacrifice her life for humanity.

That's why they assigned some half-baked commander to Nikki to monitor her every move.

The results of it?

As time went on, the losers began to distrust the commander and ordered that the interval between the commander and a Nikki unit's cooperation be more than three rounds.

They enjoy the peace brought by the sacrifices, but despise the sacrifices that brought them peace.

Of course, these are just nice words.”

The lieutenant changed the subject, and the murderous aura that was gradually emanating from his body slowly boiled over.

“The main thing is that they played me.

They were afraid that I would not work hard for them, so they sent me tasks wrapped in layers of lies.

They treated me as a fool and my comrades as expendable. They never told me the truth from beginning to end, fearing that I would know the suicide mission assigned to me.

So I'm going to climb up.

Instead of letting them fool me over and over again, why don't I just climb up and kill them all."

"Can I accompany you then?"

"..."

Viper's bold question made Phoenix look at him silently, and the girl rarely smiled again, and said words that seemed to be a confession in a calm manner.

"I am willing as long as you are willing."

"..."

"……it is good."

Chapter 217: It was translated, but not completely

"Viper, why do you look unhappy?"

The jackal, holding skewers in his right hand and his left hand and a big bag of skewers on his little finger, was happily eating the barbecue, while not forgetting to care about his teammates.

"Would you like some strawberry soda? I brought it just for you!"

As he spoke, the little fool took out a can of strawberry-flavored soda from his backpack full of dried meat as if he was showing off a treasure. His smug expression seemed as if he was showing off how reliable he was.

However, the little fool didn't know that at this moment, the poisonous snake with narrowed eyes and curled mouth corners had already had the "murderous intention" to her.

Almost,

Just a little bit different!

Obviously the confession was successful, and the atmosphere was right, all that was missing was that final touch! Then she could enjoy this hard-earned feast tonight.

But it was destroyed on the spot by the foodies who broke into the house with overwhelming force!!!

The ambiguous atmosphere vanished;

The broth you have obtained is wasted;

The tempting man left awkwardly...

At the very end, you, a little bastard who only cares about eating, asked me why I looked unhappy? ! !

"Hey~ Jackal."

The girl tried her best to suppress her inner grief and anger, and she called out her teammate's name quietly, with a beautiful smile on her pretty face.

"Well--?"

On the other side, the little starving ghost who was eating and drinking voraciously smelled the danger from the aroma of meat.

"Why is it so hot?"

"Well, although this is the rooftop terrace, the lieutenant and I are still a man and a woman in the same room. What do you think...
