Marco was dumbfounded as he looked at Mo Lihua. He would never have expected for her to request that!

Bam!

He finally snapped out of his surprise when Zuri strongly kicked a vacant office chair towards Mo Lihua to stop her from getting closer.

Zuri was not happy to only see the chair hit Mo Lihua's knees that made her off balance. She also threw knives on her way, hitting her right leg!

Before Mo Lihua could respond with the same killing intent, Marco acted up.

"Wait! Stop!" Marco finally yelled before he stepped in front for Zuri who still had her favourite knives on hand, aiming at Mo Lihua, hoping to hit some more. 

Even Piore also stepped in and grabbed Mo Lihua by the shoulder to halt her from moving forward. He also checked the small knife on her leg, and it was not there anymore.

Mo Lihua managed to stand up and on her hand was Zuri's throw knife.

It was not that Piore was against the idea of their Ninth Aunt's eyes soaked on alcohol to be used as trophy later, but they were not on the right place or on the right time to do that.

They were even on a disadvantage with numbers. Heck, they did not also have enough reason to remove someone's body part just for fun!

They could not use the reason that Zuri was glaring at Mo Lihua as the rules for Doncrelli family members were different outside and inside!

'Wait, this place is within the family territory. So it is fine. Right?' Piore suddenly realized the answer to his question eventually. So he immediately released Mo Lihua and just stood behind her with carefreeness and a broad smile on his face. It was like his silent statement, 'play as you pleased.'

The smile on Piore faces even annoyed the other, especially Zuri and Aaron!

"Good job, Piore! You finally figure out that we are not in the wrong here!" Mo Lihua said brightly, as she gave Piore thumbs up from behind. "I am not breaking any rules here. Firstly, have you forgotten, fourth uncle? You agreed on my request earlier."

Zuri cursed loudly, "You, bitch! I will never do what you want!" She was glaring at Mo Lihua while hiding behind Marco. It was not because she could not fight. With her son and the other's with her, there was no way for Mo Lihua to win against them.

However, Zuri was still trying to show her submission to Marco's arrangement. She was still hoping that there would be no need for blood to shed to get the cooperation that they need.

Mo Lihua just looked at her amusedly. "Fourth Uncle, I also remember that the woman behind you is not allowed to speak during this meeting. Did you forget?" She asked, almost tauntingly.

At that moment, the space between Mo Lihua and Marco were just an arm's length. Thus she needs to look up to him slightly to be able to look at his face when speaking.

Marco was way taller than Mo Lihua, but why did he feel so anxious? 'No! I am not scared! That is impossible!'

At that moment, the smile on Mo Lihua's face was triumphant. It was like the game was on its final stage and Mo Lihua was ready to lay down her cards that will confirm sure victory.

Of course, Marco was already old enough to know what to do in a situation wherein the person they were speaking too was not willing to cooperate.

With a snort, Marco replied, "I remember. I did not expect you ever to want to do such a gruesome thing. You are disappointing me, my niece. This is not how you treat your relatives. Your ninth aunt can apologize for showing her uncultured side."

"However, it was also not nice of you to joke like that. People will misinterpret and will believe that you want to do such a despicable thing." Marco continued.

Mo Lihua played the knife on her hand, by throwing upwards on the air and catching it. She hummed while doing so as her eyes watch the small knife fall to the floor.

Clang!

The sound of the small knife that hit the marbled flooring of the meeting room.

Marco smiled to Mo Lihua as he assumed that she had agreed to what he said. "If you are bothered by your ninth aunt's presence, we can just ask her to leave." He said before giving Zuri a warning glare and a hand motion indicating that she needs to go out of the room.

Left with no choice, Zuri nodded her head and made a step towards the door. She already injured Mo Lihua with one of her favourite knives. They are her preferred because Zuri could hide toxins on its tips without anyone noticing. 

'Heh. This was your entire fault. If you just talked to us civilized, not causing any trouble for my son and me, would I even have a chance to make you a s.l.u.t later?' Zuri asked herself with a snicker as she walks to towards the door with a fake scowl on her face.

"Ninth Aunt, are you sure you don't want to stay just for fun?" Mo Lihua suddenly asked when Zuri was near the door.

Zuri stopped and turned around to send Mo Lihua a hateful glare. "My niece do not be so confident. You are still young and reckless. You should listen to the older ones and behave to preserve your dignity and life." She said, laced with warning.

"Oh? Dignity? I think that does not apply to anyone here. What do you think, fourth uncle?" Mo Lihua said as she slowly crouched down to grab the small knife on the floor. "Well, I do not want, ninth aunt, to leave. However, I still would like to apologize and to show that I am sincere. I will punish myself." She said, and to their surprise, she stabbed her already injured legs a couple more times!
