Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 1306: Chapter 1340: Seizing the Emerald

”I wonder if you recognize this photograph?”

Hawke Martin captured Nangong Bing and pulled out an emerald image copied from a computer, placing it in front of her.

The emerald was one that Lin Zifeng cut out from Macau and gave to her; she took a picture of it at the time to keep as a memento because she was delighted.

She hadn’t expected that after posting it on her blog, she deleted it in less than a week, so how did he still have it?

”I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Nangong Bing looked at him coldly. Was it because of this photograph that Hawke Martin had come for her?

”Heh heh, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know, but I think you’ll understand what I mean soon enough.” Hawke Martin chuckled twice, shaking his head, and paced around the room twice before leaning against a cabinet and casually sipping a glass of XO.

What exactly does this guy want? Why is he showing me a picture of my emerald? Is his goal in capturing me solely to acquire the emerald?

Nangong Bing speculated silently.

During this time, the changes in the Star Ring have been terrifying.

Not only did it change her physique, but there were also many anomalies happening.

If Hawke Martin is here for the Star Ring, that would not be surprising either.

”Miss Nangong, I must admit, you are indeed one of the women who moved me, Hawke Martin. You are truly beautiful, but if I were to use a knife to cut a line across your face, then carve off your nose, and dig out your eyes, I think you might recall the contents of this photograph, wouldn’t you?”

After taking out a sharp small knife from behind, Hawke Martin’s face looked venomous, and his tone was especially sinister.

”You! I didn’t expect you to be such a malicious person!” Nangong Bing stared at him with eyes full of anger.

”Haha... Miss Nangong, I already gave you a chance. If you can’t grasp it, then I have no other recourse.”

With a cold look in his eyes, Hawke Martin pressed the knife against her white neck, and said viciously, ”Tell me, where is that emerald now?”

”Speak!”

Hawke Martin practically roared.

The sharp knife pressed against her neck had already drawn a bloodstain, bright red blood flowing continuously down her neck.

”I don’t even know what emerald you’re talking about!”

Despite enduring excruciating pain, her stubborn heart knew the significance of that Star Ring to her, so she would never hand it over.

It was a token of affection between her and Lin Zifeng.

”Do you really think I won’t ruin your face?”

Hawke Martin pressed the sharp blade against her pure and fair face, almost shouting.

This time he came to the martial arts world on his own initiative; it would be fine if he got nothing.

However, he led several protector experts who were intercepted by the Talent Pavilion at the border, and all those protectors ended up dead. The elders of the Skull Sect already knew about this incident.

This was going to be his nightmare, and if he couldn’t find the emerald he came here for, the elders would surely revoke his leadership position, making all his years of efforts turn to bubbles.

He was unwilling, and he absolutely couldn’t tolerate such a thing happening to him.

Back then, his father was a leader of the Skull Sect, in an unshakable position. But now, why was his status in the Skull Sect so low?

The source of all these troubles must be the three old bastards who were elders within the organization, so he was desperate to improve his strength; as long as he was strong enough, he could fully regain his irreplaceable status in the Skull Sect.

”If you’ve got the guts, just kill me! Why resort to such methods to threaten me?”

Nangong Bing’s voice was ice-cold, and her gaze resolute. What she had decided to do, she would never easily change, and no one could change it.

Even if she were killed, she would not hand over the Star Ring that Lin Zifeng gave her as a token of affection!

”Nangong Bing! You’re the one forcing me into this!”

Hawke Martin’s breath was extremely heavy, and his eyes cold.

His hand that held the knife started to tremble slowly. With his emotions stirred a bit more, he might very well slash open a bloodstain on Nangong Bing’s white neck.

”If you’ve got the guts, just kill me!”

Nangong Bing’s voice came out in a piercing shriek, her black eyes resolute beyond measure.

”Fine! Don’t blame me, Hawke Martin, for being ruthless!”

Finally, the violent emotion buried deep inside Hawke Martin ignited, and he lifted his hand to grab Nangong Bing by the neck and hurled her harshly into the corner.

”Bang!”

Nangong Bing’s slender body hit the floor heavily in the corner, her skin bruising from the fall.

Yet, the stubborn her gritted her teeth, refusing to show submission.

Perhaps many readers would say that if Nangong Bing handed over the Star Ring temporarily, she wouldn’t be in trouble, and why would she be so foolish.

But Nangong Bing knew that Hawke Martin went through so much effort to obtain the emerald, and it must be filled with magical capability. Even if she handed over the Star Ring now, could she guarantee that Hawke Martin wouldn’t kill her?

Even if it ended with her being killed, her death would allow her to leave the Star Ring to Lin Zifeng.

Moreover, during this period, the magical energy the Star Ring brought to Nangong Bing was astounding. With a casual punch, she could injure Lin Zifeng, which proved how much power the Star Ring, crafted out of the emerald, contained.

Currently, she had thought several times about punching Hawke Martin hard, but his cultivation was too high, and she simply couldn’t reach him.

”Speak! Where is the emerald hidden?”

Inside the hut, Hawke Martin frantically pressed Nangong Bing for the whereabouts of the emerald.

But, besides a deathly pale look on Nangong Bing’s icy beautiful face, she was unafraid of death.

In her life, the only person she had wronged was Lin Zifeng.

”I’ll make sure you can’t live, and can’t die!”

Swish...

Hawke Martin rushed forward quickly, lifting his hand and slapping hard across Nangong Bing’s pretty face.

Instantly, Nangong Bing was knocked over again.

Her delicate face showed a clear black handprint.

It was exceptionally clear. If Lin Zifeng were present, he would be heartbroken to death.

”Are you going to speak or not?”

Hawke Martin was anxious, but also didn’t dare to kill her. Once Nangong Bing was dead, finding the emerald would be like fishing a needle from the sea.

Moreover, the strong terror aura within her villa was something he dared not engage with.

”Fine! Then I’ll make you pay, chop off all your limbs, and turn you into a human stick. I want to see, once you’re a beautiful woman turned into a human stick, will he still like you?”

Hawke Martin began laughing crazily.

In Nangong Bing’s eyes, desperate tears finally fell.

”Hawke Martin! I will have you pay with blood for your life!”

Suddenly!

A tremendous, terrifying wave swept through the trees outside the hut, and the terrifying pressure spread out like a tide.

The entire small hut shivered and trembled.
