Caroline’s eyes narrowed. She bent her knees, and the baseball whizzed past her ears. She had been training hard these days. Although she was still lacking in strength, she had recovered about 60 – 70% of her movement.
Will Sr. felt his vision blur, and in the next second, a dagger the size of a palm was pressed against his neck.
He had no doubt that if he dared to move again, the slender dagger would cut through his skin and go straight to his artery.
“Wait, wait, wait.” Will Sr. threw away the baseball in his hand and raised his hands to beg for mercy. “I just wanted to test you. After all, you’re a new guest. You have to go through my rules.”
Caroline gave him a hard push and threw him against the wall behind her. “Old Will, I’m not a rookie who doesn’t know anything. Put away your stupid words and go fool the next customer.”
“Yes, I can tell.” Will Sr. looked at the knife dancing nimbly in Caroline’s hand. He recalled the bone-piercing chill that came from the blade of the knife when it was held against his neck. His heart was still palpitating a little. “I was just a little surprised. I didn’t expect the famous L on the dark net to be a woman.”
Caroline continued, “And then this woman subdued you with one move.”
“Hiss!” Will Sr. massaged his sore shoulders and cursed in a low voice, “You’re not a woman, you’re a female monster!”
Caroline glanced at him and successfully made him shut up.
“Here, these are all the things you wanted.” Will Sr. placed a black duffel bag on the table and unzipped it, revealing a row of shiny black gun barrels.
Just as he was about to introduce it, Caroline took action immediately. With a few clicks, a short gun was assembled. She held it in her hand and aligned it. “Beretta 92f. Not a bad imitation. It would be even better if the balance of the barrel was more accurate.”
At this moment, Will Sr. was truly in awe. He gave a thumbs up and said, “An old expert!”
Although he found it strange that Caroline did not have any traces of using a gun on her hands, he could tell that she was an expert at using a gun from the way she assembled the guns so quickly and skillfully.
Will Sr. wasn’t a weapon middleman. It was just that he was obsessed with weapons, so he had learned how to make imitation weapons in private. In the beginning, he imitated it for fun, but after he got familiar with it, he put the finished products on the dark net to sell. Because the imitation was quite sophisticated, he gradually gained some fame on the dark net. Then, he was picked by Caroline to trade a batch of firearms with him.
There were four short guns and two long guns in the bag. Caroline tried each of them before putting them back into the bag. She zipped the bag and slung it over her shoulder. “I hope next time, I won’t be greeted by baseball.”
Will Sr. wanted to say that he wanted to live a few more years, but he didn’t dare to provoke this female monster.
Caroline opened the door and went out. In the blink of an eye, she had changed back to her rough voice. “Old Will, if there are any problems with the quality of this batch again, I will not let you off.”
Will Sr. shouted from the door, “If you have any problems, come to me!”
Caroline waved her hand and left. When she returned to her old apartment, the sky was already dark. Danika, who had a scarf on her, opened the door for her and wanted to take the things from her.
Caroline pushed her hand away and pushed her into the kitchen. “I’ve been busy the whole day. I’m so hungry that I can swallow a cow.” She sniffed. “Yes, it’s the smell of roast beef. I’ll have to eat more later.”
Danika didn’t ask her what she was doing out all day. She just looked at her face that was getting smaller and smaller, and felt a little distressed. “Then go wash up and come down for dinner in a while.”
“Alright, I’ll be right down.” Caroline, who was slimmer but stronger, climbed up the stairs in a few steps and walked to the master bedroom. She twisted the lamp on the bedside table twice, and a dark passage that was half a person tall appeared on the side of the wall.
Old apartments like this basically had hundreds of years of history.
At that time, the situation was chaotic and society was in turmoil. Therefore, when some people were building houses, they would secretly design secret passages inside the houses just in case.
Now that a hundred years had passed, most of the old buildings had been demolished. Many people didn’t know about the past anymore, so not many people knew about this. However, Caroline was not one of them.
That day, when she saw the interior design of the house, she saw that there was a whole new world inside, so she booked this old apartment.
