Chapter 2752: Why Didn’t You Wait for Me?
Seeing Ning Shu, Mina stood up and said, “Why did you return without telling me?”
Ning Shu pulled out her suitcase from under the bed and said, “I did tell you. I sent you a text message.”
“All you did was send a text message. Why didn’t you wait for me so we could come back together?” Mina got bullied by that vampire bastard.
He abruptly threw her into the air and started spinning her.
Mina was so scared that she couldn’t stop screaming. When she was finally back on the ground, she vomited.
A scholar would rather be killed than humiliated. Mina at that moment really wanted to just kill Perry with her gun.
However, Perry just stood there, waiting for her to shoot. Mina squeezed her eyes shut and ended up shooting him in the shoulder.
Before Perry even had a reaction, Mina had already dropped her gun, flustered, and asked, “Are you okay?”
She looked about to cry.
She had never killed a vampire before, so she lacked an intuitive understanding of vampires.
After all, who would think that a vampire, who looked the same as a human—more beautiful, even—could be so cruel and terrifying?
After she hit Perry, she felt very guilty and kept asking whether he was alright.
Vampires had powerful healing abilities. Even if they were hit by a bullet, they could quickly recover from it.
Perry was completely fine.
However, Mina seemed to have lost the skills and calm that a blood hunter should have.
She even forgot about vampires’ self-healing powers.
Like that, she was nearly reduced to tears.
Perry was stunned for a moment and finally told Mina that he was fine.
Mina got so angry that she turned around and left, carrying her suitcase back to the motel, only to find that Ning Shu had already left. Ning Shu had even checked out of the room.
Mina carried her suitcase and angrily rushed back to the blood hunter order.
All along the way, Perry continued to follow her. Even when she drove him away, he simply refused to leave.
Perry half-jokingly said that he’d embraced her.
Mina angrily vowed that as a blood hunter, there was no way she’d become a vampire, much less Perry’s prey.
For vampires, the first embrace was like marking and declaring their sovereignty over a prey. Other vampires wouldn’t be able to involve themselves with the prey in question.
Mina didn’t want to be sucked dry by Perry, then be forced to suck his blood.
The procession of the first embrace was really bloody.
Perry’s eyes, however, were shining. This blood hunter had sweet blood, and she was such a good plaything. It’d be entertaining to have her by his side.
Perry followed Mina all along the way. He walked her to the gate of the manor before he disappeared.
Mina came back in a mess. When she saw Ning Shu, her expression became even worse.
“We’re partners, but you just left without saying anything.”
Ning Shu opened her suitcase and checked its contents. She made sure that nothing was left behind before she closed the box. The buttons snapped, locking the suitcase shut.
“Like I said, I sent you a text message. I told you that I was going back. You, on the other hand, rushed off to find that vampire from before and didn’t so much as discuss it with me. ‘Partners’, was it?”
Rules for thee, but not for me. In Mina’s eyes, wrongdoing was only wrong when it happened to her, but not when she was the one doing it.
Did Mina expect her to just forever be following behind her butt?
“I… I was just too angry at the time. Can’t you forgive me just this once?” Mina murmured.
Ning Shu’s expression remained unchanged. She put on her Martens boots, tied her shoelaces, and said, “I was also just too angry. You never discuss anything with me and just do whatever you want, so I got angry and left first? Can you forgive me?”
Mina was at a loss for words. She didn’t find the two situations comparable at all.
She didn’t have any money with her, as Molly had been the one taking care of their money. When she returned to the motel, she found that the room had been vacated.
She had nowhere to go and no money back to the organization.
If it wasn’t for the vampire, she couldn’t have gotten back.
