Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 423: Chapter 423: Action

"Don’t speak too soon, sometimes age is indeed a form of strength. I’ve walked more roads than you’ve eaten grains of rice. You should be careful, angering me is not a good choice." Arthur suppressed his inner rage and directed all his fury at K as he spoke.

"I’ve never been afraid of anyone," K said nonchalantly.

"Be careful, or you might end up biting your tongue with your loud words." Arthur’s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing only the pitch-black pupils within his gray eyes, like unfathomable wormholes in the universe that dared not be looked at directly, although K wasn’t among those who dared not gaze upon them.

Though Arthur was at odds with K, he didn’t forget Ariel and Xu Ke, who had embarrassed him. With a glance at his confidants, someone stepped forward and gestured for Xu Ke and Ariel to follow.

Ariel gripped Xu Ke’s fingers slightly, her expression flawless as she stood up first from her seat and said to the two still at odds, "I’m tired of sitting here and don’t want to sit with you any longer. I’m going to the lounge to rest for a while, enjoy yourselves."

Ariel gave Xu Ke’s hand a slight tug, and Xu Ke followed Ariel up the stairs, escorted by two people.

"Before the banquet ends, please stay here and don’t come out," the man said bluntly and closed the door without mercy in front of the two.

"What is your purpose in provoking your father like this?" Xu Ke asked in a low voice, looking at Ariel who showed a faint cold smile.

"Of course I have a purpose. I’ve said I want to take away everything he cares about. I want to ensure he can never achieve his desires and struggles in unfulfilled agony," Ariel said softly. Her voice was low and deep, like the whispers of lovers, yet the malice it contained was shocking even to Xu Ke.

"I know my father’s subordinate has an Interpol agent lurking around. He thinks he’s well concealed but doesn’t know he’s already exposed, parading like an idiot. If not for me covering his tracks, he would’ve been exposed long ago," Ariel said with disdain.

"So, you knew he came to see me all along?" Xu Ke squeezed Ariel’s thin waist and said through gritted teeth.

Seeing Xu Ke’s expression as if he wanted to bite her, Ariel laughed gleefully, "Yeah, I knew all along." She touched Xu Ke’s lips playfully and said, "What should I do, I knew about this long ago. Not only that, but I also know the terms you agreed with him."

"Did you bug my room?" Xu Ke’s expression changed instantaneously.

"No need to worry, I didn’t bug your room, but I planted one on that man, so I know the content of your conversation. I not only know this, I also know where the police are looking for the ledger and my father’s criminal evidence. So now, Mr. Xu, are you willing to act with me, play the hero, steal these things, hand them over to the police, and then take me away from this place?" Ariel blinked her big eyes and extended an invitation to Xu Ke.

"Why does it have to be today?"

"Because today is the best opportunity for us to escape, and also the last chance to acquire those pieces of evidence. If we miss today and my father notices something amiss, I might never access these things again. He’ll kill me for what I do today, are you willing to let me die?" Ariel showed Xu Ke a pitiful expression, truly innocent, if Xu Ke didn’t know all their current dangers were calculated by Ariel.

"You didn’t give me a chance to refuse you. You really are a bad girl. Tell me how you want me to help." Xu Ke steadied Ariel’s red lips as he spoke.

Ariel, like a Pandora’s box, continuously tempted Xu Ke to open it. She was also like a wild horse easily igniting Xu Ke’s desire for conquest, making him uncontrollably want to tame her, allowing this wild horse to show only its gentle side to him.

But Ariel truly didn’t know what Xu Ke had in mind. She leaned close to his ear and whispered her plan step by step, watching Xu Ke with anticipation and excitement.

Essentially, Ariel and Xu Ke are similar people; neither likes a monotonous and mundane life.

Honestly, when Xu Ke heard Ariel’s plan, he wasn’t not shocked, but after the shock came immense delight and a sense of eagerness. noveldrama

So when Ariel asked with wide eyes, "How’s this plan?" Xu Ke’s response was a fiery kiss. When they finally parted, breathless, Xu Ke said with his hoarse voice, "You’re a genius, a treasure to the human world, Ariel."

"I don’t want to be any kind of human treasure, I just want to be your treasure." Ariel pouted and said coyly.

"Of course, you’re my treasure," Xu Ke replied.

Ariel kissed the corner of Xu Ke’s mouth and said lightly, "We don’t have much time. Let’s not dilly-dally; let’s start now."

As she spoke, Ariel unzipped her clothing, revealing the luxurious dress underneath. Hidden beneath was another set of nightwear, clinging to her body and outlining her shape perfectly. Various tools were strapped to her legs. As she clicked her high heels together, the thin heels disappeared in front of Xu Ke, transforming into ordinary flat soles.

Ariel pulled a gun from her leg and handed it to Xu Ke, explaining, "Although it looks like a gun, it’s actually loaded with small darts and a strand of very strong thin wire, allowing you to move between buildings."

While speaking, Ariel untied a pouch from her leg and handed it to Xu Ke, gesturing for him to open it.

Inside the pouch was a world split in two, with one half containing knives and the other containing fine needles.

"The knives are for killing. As for the needles, each one has been soaked in an advanced anesthetic. If you pierce someone’s skin with it, they’ll pass out within three seconds. In fact, even a single needle can take down a tiger, so be careful not to let these needles pierce your skin." Ariel explained to Xu Ke innocently.

"The gear is really complete, making me eager to test if they’re as effective as you say. Let’s go." Xu Ke strapped the items Ariel handed him to his body and led Ariel to the window, the height from the third floor not too daunting for Xu Ke.

"I’ll go down first. Once it’s safe, you come down," Xu Ke rubbed Ariel’s lowered head as he spoke.
