A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 83

Both of their expressions are seemingly apprehensive, it seems the person who has arrived possesses an evil intent.

As expected, the person slowly advancing towards them is Bella.

“You both have such a good relationship that it makes me feel a little awkward disturbing you both…”

Kevin instinctively blocks the front of Sunny, “What do you want?”

Bella looks at what Kevin is doing, her expression changes in the dark, “I can’t tell, do you really care about her this much?”

Kevin knows that right now Bella is slightly delirious and in a clouded state of mind, and knowing that she has come here to cause trouble, therefore does not look at her directly in the face, but instead asks, “Have you come here for something?”

“Kevin, did you really think this is the place for you both to have a date? Not only is there poison in your body, but you are also still under my control, you have seen the people outside of me, if you mess around then there will be consequences.”

Sunny after hearing that there is still poison inside Kevin’s body is unable to focus, she then says rather alarmingly, “Is what she said true?”

Kevin spits on the ground, “Don’t listen to her, I’m fine.”

Smiling in the direction of Bella he says, “Because you are not able to get me, therefore you use these kinds of cheap tricks?”

Hearing that her methods are being criticised as cheap, Bella becomes truly furious and laughs angrily back.

“Kevin, you were only able to track down the clue about Greg, because I was the one always tossing the clues to you, and as for Zola, I just knew that woman is not reliable, as expected she quickly betrayed me.”

“Bella, you say that you were the one who provided the clue about Greg? What do you mean?”

Bella looks at Sunny, her features slightly hideous looking, “If it wasn’t for you, then there wouldn’t be anyone able to hinder my plans, and I would have been able to make all the people from that year get the retribution they deserved, it’s just you appeared, therefore…”

The last sentence she does not finish saying, however Sunny feels a cold and deathly stare eyeing her from head to toe.

“Bella, there is no need to be angry at Sunny, everything was caused by me, I alone bear this responsibility.” Kevin says this to Bella while again standing in front of Sunny to shield her.

However Bella begins to laugh as if she has just heard the funniest joke of the century, “Hahaha, you are taking the blame, so funny!”

She keeps laughing until suddenly she smiles and says, “Kevin, the whole time you have simply just been a chess piece in my hands, however I never expected you to be so foolish, to be so concerned about me, I really do feel quite flattered.”

Kevin listens silently, and then at once opens his mouth and says, “I regret it.”

Bella blinks her eyes as if she does not understand the meaning of what he just said.

Kevin raises his head and looks at her, “I regret it, long ago I should have known that you were just using me, however I did not make use of this, and this is what I regret.”

Bella is furious but then calms down, she knows that Kevin is deliberately trying to anger her, and therefore she laughs, “You really think saying this is able to make me mad enough to lose my mind?”

Kevin shakes his head, “I know I can’t.” While speaking he pauses, “However the person behind you can.”

Bella automatically turns around to have a look, however seeing the person who should have disappeared now standing behind her at once is shocked, "You!"

She has an expression as if she has just seen a ghost.

Standing at the entrance of the door, is a rather expressionless Jonathan.

Bella tries her hardest to calm down and then coolly greets him, “It’s been a while.”

Jonathan smiles and says, “Yes, it sure has been a while.”

As soon as he says one word, he walks a step closer towards Bella; finally he stops not far away from her and then says, “I originally thought that I would never see you again.”

Hearing Jonathan talk about the past, Bella’s face turns pale, “you, I, don’t talk about this, can you please leave for a moment, I want to sort out the matters here first, and then I will sit down with you and talk.”

Hearing this Jonathan scoffs and says, “Bella, do you really believe that people don’t learn their lesson, or do you think that even though I’ve experienced life and death once, that I’m still as foolish as before?”

Bella sees that Jonathan is not able to be intimidated, so is only able to temporarily appease him, “Jonathan, I know you have many words you want to say, many emotions you want to let out, however are you not able to wait, I first need to deal with these two strangers.”

Jonathan’s cold voice repeats, “Strangers?”

“Yes.”

“One of them is the dear younger brother of the one who saved me, and the other is my apprentice, so how are they strangers to me?”

The information that Bella had received was not this at all, she turns her back and someone messes with her.

“In this case, then this really is a coincidence, I’ve also come to talk with Kevin.”

Bella claps her hands and says, “This really is a coincidence.”

Once the sound of her clapping falls, but no one from outside enters then makes Bella unable to resist feeling slightly insecure, what exactly has happened?

Before she can react, it is not known when but a person is standing and listening in, “are you looking for them?”

Saying this while raising his hand, a heavy object falls in front of Bella; astonishingly it is the old guard who was guarding the entrance.

Bella seeing that her line of defence is broken, then immediately makes a decision. She bites her lip and throws something down, "See you in the next life!"

Seeing that the bomb has already been set off, all the people on the scene immediately go to hide; Bella has been waiting for this opportunity.

After everyone gets down, she stands up and takes advantage of the smoke to get out of the dark room.

The first one to react is Sunny; she sniffs the smoke in the air, and then comes to a conclusion, "There is no gunpowder in it."

Everyone else then realizes that this was not a bomb at all, but a smoke bomb and Bella took advantage of their evasion to escape.

Jonathan is the first to react to this, “How terrible, she got away!”

Originally, he just wanted to rescue Kevin and Sunny. Ellison with no other intention quietly enters and pats Jonathan’s shoulders and says, “There is always a next time.”

“She is a wicked person; you don’t understand how much I wish I was able to catch her earlier.”

Ellison nods, “I don’t want to know about this kind of thing.”

“Now is not the time to argue, although I don’t know how the people outside were disposed of by her, however I think we should leave here now.”

Sunny while speaking, she glances at Kevin anxiously; he needs to get rid of the poison from his body first, otherwise…

Otherwise what will happen, Sunny does not dare think about, therefore she forces herself to turn her attention away from this matter, “Master, how did you all get here?”

Jonathan smiles, “I knew you were trapped in here by Bella, and at HL she had come looking for me before.”

Kevin says, “Then how come it seemed that she didn’t recognise you?”

Jonathan coughs unconcerned, “Because at that time she only came to confirm whether I was dead or not, therefore I asked someone from the office to pretend to be me.”

...

The people at the scene after hearing about what happened, there was then a moment of silence.

Ellison eventually opens his mouth and says, “Jonathan, please go back and get an antidote to cure the poison from my little brother, and then after we have left here we can discuss the other matters.”

This is not a safe place after all, who knows whether other people will come here too.

Jonathan nods his head, “get in the car” as he said this, Sunny also just asked him a question, “As for why we came and why we are late, you can ask the person next to you.”

Kevin?

Sunny’s eyes turn towards Kevin, her expression looks as if she will not rest until there is an explanation.

However Kevin turns his head and looks at a place where no one is, “The moonlight tonight is very beautiful.”

Everyone looks towards the slow rising red sun in front of the entrance and are all left speechless.

The group then decide to go back, after they played a game of rock, paper, scissors it is decided that Ellison will drive the car, Kevin looks exhausted and yawns while sitting on the back seat.

“When we get back, let’s go to sleep, I’m exhausted.”

Ellison glances at Kevin’s expression in the rear view mirror, and then using his eyes asks for Jonathan’s opinion. After getting his approval, Ellison nods.

Sunny breathes a sigh of relief, at long last, after being locked up for so many days, after the stinking odour, she can finally go back to take a bath and have a restful sleep.

Sunny then stretches her waist and says, “Master, can I still have the day off today?”

Jonathon nods his head, and says with a faint expression, “permission granted.”

Kevin watches the interaction between master and apprentice, when suddenly an unexplainable sourness slowly spreads inside his heart, so he embraces Sunny and says, "Lean, sleep."

Consequently Sunny for no clear reason gives some attention to the jealous Kevin, and then inexplicably just falls asleep.

Although just before she was flaunting that she wasn’t tired at all after sleeping all night.

“Silly girl.” Kevin uses his hand to gently stroke her hair; one line successfully causes goose bumps to form on both of their bodies.

Sunny who is half asleep feels she is being carried, and after a few bumps she successfully lands on her soft bed.

Sunny utters words in her sleep while tossing over and prepares to keep sleeping while hugging her quilt, however she is unable to when someone is pinching her noise, “I’m awake, I’m getting up.”

Sunny is irritated by being bothered like this; she shakes her hand towards the source of the sound, but unexpectedly waves her hand at nothing.

However this person continues to disturb and annoy her.

“Stop, let me sleep!”

She sits up with messy hair, her face full of anger after a poor night’s sleep.

The culprit Kevin narrows his innocent eyes and looks at her while pouting.

Sunny’s heart immediately softens uncontrollably, "You, what do you want to do with me?"
