THE PRECIPICE OF LOVE

Quiet night, Lakeview Park. Messages flashed across a phone screen. Holding the mobile phone is a slender, white hand wearing a black lace glove. There seems to be a thin silver bracelet wrapped around the wrist. Under the cover of the lace gloves, it is slightly raised, reflecting a little bit of strange dark silver light in the dim light of the screen. 　"Tsk..." The owner of this hand suddenly let out a cold and disdainful hum, then exited the group chat, opened the voice-changing software, and dialed the only number in the address book. The number is not in a common format and seems to be a virtual number. "Hello." A slightly harsh male voice came from the other side. "I've already credited the balance to your crypto currency account. But the work you did is really average, so there's no need to cooperate anymore." "To be fair, I didn't do a bad job at the beginning, right? I did it according to your request, and later I made corrections. In the end, the information you gave us was vague and entirely the main reason for the result. If the time you gave us was not so short and the goods hadn’t suddenly caused trouble, everything would have gone smoothly.” "So I paid you the balance, didn't I?" "How about I do it for you again,we can check the site again? There are many ways to do it——" "The more you do, the sooner you will be exposed. What you have to do now is to completely forget about this matter. All the contacts you used to contact me before will be permanently invalid. Disappear from existence, move to another city, another country, I don’t give a damn but make sure to never leak the secret. After all, you don’t know who I am, right? So don’t do anything foolish like getting caught. When the time comes, the only one who will bear the consequences of leaking the secrets and bearing of the other party’s anger is yourself. And the one who can find you will not be too weak.” "...I said, are you women so sensitive? No one has noticed anything for so many years. The probability of being discovered is zero. ‌It has been maintained and nothing can be found.” The criminal found it ridiculous. Why would they need to leave? Why was this rich b***h so naïve? Now was the time to earn more money. “You don’t think I have no idea who you are right? Five years is a long time doing business together and you will understand my need to know more about my partners, won’t you, Madam Natalia Crown? I wonder how much is the price for my silence? Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. I don’t come cheap after all I have so many mouths to feed, you understand? ” the harsh male voice came with a bit of gloating in it. "You dare to blackmail me? Very good. For a trashy ugly lowlife scum like you, arrogance should be one of your few advantages. I hope you will continue to maintain it. Do you really think you are my opponent? Look around you carefully. " "What do you mea-" A gunshot sounded. The hand wearing a black lace glove hung up the phone indifferently, blocking the angry and frightened voice of the man opposite. This hand leisurely emptied the phone, restored it to factory mode, shut it down, then took off the brooch, poked the side of the phone, took out the phone card, broke it, and threw it into the trash can. Then, he flicked it away. The black mobile phone passed through the railing and fell into the middle of the blurry and dark river with a "plop" sound. The water ripples spread out and calmness returned again. "It doesn't matter. So what if you're intelligent and beautiful? Just a mistress’ child. My mother chased your mother away in the end. You both stayed in the backward mountains, rotting slowly and silently, and no one will remember it anymore. But you dared to come to my city, Ha. I showed you. Just like your slutty mother, you ended up being played in my hands. But now that you have played your most important role as a tool, it is time to leave." After the owner finished speaking, he turned around and walked away step by step under the shadow of the dark trees. The dim light cast by the street lamp next to the flower bed occasionally penetrated the trees and outlined her figure. A black wide-brimmed hat, a long narrow black dress, black high heels, and a black mask completely covered her face, leaving only a pair of cold eyes hidden in the shadows. In the closing night, the woman disappeared like a ghost in the night.
