Chapter 866: VICIOUS LIKE A HYENA

The uncomfortable noise was getting closer. It was so cold and horrifying that chills ran down Mu Lan's spine. She wasn't the only one; except for Mrs. Li, everyone heard the noise and they frowned and looked around.

"This is a weird sound," Pedro commented.

"Antonio, can you check?" Carlo asked.

"I'm going to the basement." Antonio ran out of the living room. He went to the basement. There was a submarine base. It was directly connected to the ocean. He ran towards the submarine base and tried to touch the water. Just then, he noticed something. He immediately contacted Carlo through telepathy. He said, "Carl, this is bad."

"What's going on?" Carlo asked. He had a bad feeling about it.

Antonio said, "This Li woman isn't normal. She-"

Just then, on the outside, something came out of the sea and flew towards Mu Lan.

At that moment, Mu Lan was in deep thought. Mrs. Li already confessed to her crime. She said that she was behind the Saudi Arabia incident and she wanted the cure and elixir. That would make her a part of The Mongoose. In that case, the theory Cobra members were thinking that Li Sheng had something to do with The Mongoose which was completely wrong. That's why when Mu Lan used her power to hurt him, neither could he fight back nor his men found her. But since his mother was the part of The Mongoose, she used her connection to look for her. The only good thing was she didn't think that Mu Lan had some sort of power.

That aside, Mrs. Li planned to kill Mu Lan's father and she almost succeeded. The same went for her mother. The worst part was, her mother was pregnant. Then, she was taken by Zhuang Lei. It was also part of Mrs. Li's plan. And of course, she was sold to the Japanese Institute. If Mu Lan's guess was correct, it was part of The Mongoose too. In that case, making her a killer machine was Mrs. Li's order.

Mu Lan chuckled. 'What a cruel woman to do something to a five years old child just because she couldn't win against my parents.'

If that institute was under The Mongoose, it made sense that The Cobra couldn't find the girl who helped her. That successful killer machine had vanished after the explosion with the doctors. It only meant that The Mongoose was as powerful as The Cobra. The enemy wasn't someone she could easily trifle with.

However, the animosity was between Zhuan Zhen and Mrs. Li. What did it have to do with the Li Family and Mu Lan? Li Sheng and Li Shen were kids when Zhuan Zhen and Professor Ryuren died. They knew nothing about Mrs. Li's competition with Zhuan Zhen. Since the very beginning, Li Shen and Li Sheng knew that Mu Lan was the youngest daughter of Hua Rong, Zhuang Lei's husband. Moreover, she knew nothing about the Li Family back then. Then, why did they hate her? Why did they try to make her life miserable by playing with her heart and emotions? Mrs. Li's confession didn't explain the Li boys' attitude towards her.

But Mu Lan understood one thing. Since Mrs. Li confessed her wrongdoings, she wouldn't let her live.

Just as she thought that something flew at her and subconsciously used her power to slice it. It was sliced into pieces and something liquid splashed everywhere. Mu Lan narrowed her eyes and looked at the object. She was startled seeing what it was. It was a Black Mamba, a large and highly venomous snake species native to much of Sub-Saharan Africa. It was known as the second-longest venomous snake species in the world and is the fastest moving land snake, capable of moving at 4.32 to 5.4 meters per second. She started to think, 'How can a Black Mamba come here in China? Unless it was forced to... then-" She didn't think anymore and looked at Mrs. Li vigilantly.

On the other side, Mrs. Li and Zhuang Lei were also astonished seeing what just happened before their eyes. Mrs. Li pointed her index finger at her. "Y-you are...!" Whatever she was thinking, she didn't think that Mu Lan would have the power to stop her.

Mu Lan smiled and said, "Let me guess, you have the power to control the snakes." There was a bloody snake on her feet.

"You look unusually calm." Mrs. Li trembled lightly. "Who is protecting you? What do you know about power? How much do you know?" When Mu Lan didn't reply to her but only gave her a small smile, she continued, "I don't care anymore. I will kill you now!"

As she said that she raised her hands up and behind her, hundreds of poisonous snakes came out of the ocean and flew towards Mu Lan as Mrs. Li screamed, "Charge!"

Mu Lan steadied her body and used her wind power to create a double layer around the island so that no ship or boat could come inside the layer and get attacked by snakes.

And the snakes that came to attack her, she sliced them all at once, leaving only splattered blood everywhere. She didn't let a single snake go past her.

Mrs. Li, who was bathed in snake blood, looked at her viciously. "So, you have the power of the wind! I underestimated you. I never thought that you would be a part of those ba***rds! I thought that they were all men. Now I know who is their precious. It's you, isn't it? You are always so lucky to have people by your side to help you."

Mu Lan said, "A person is never alone. Haven't you heard, when there is no one by your side, the Creator will be with you. But I can tell the one who is with you is the devil himself." The smile on her face was long gone. Her expression was serious and her eyes were coldly observing Mrs. Li's every move. Her eyes turned red as when she used her power to create the layers. She continued, "Thanks to you, I've got to meet someone powerful. Now that you came to me by yourself, I will take my revenge for making me go through so much misery when I did nothing to harm you."

"Not before I kill you first." Mrs. Li brought another army of snakes and let them attack her in a circle from all the directions. The snakes surrounded the castle. Mrs. Li laughed like a hyena.

Beside her, Zhuang Lei were shivering non-stop. She never saw so many snakes at the same time in her lifetime. She didn't know what was wrong with her friend, Mrs. Li. As she had no idea about The Mongoose, she couldn't understand where the snakes were coming from. Even if someone wanted her to believe that her friend was controlling the snakes, she wouldn't have believed it.

Mrs. Li stopped laughing and looked at Mu Lan. Her amusement disappeared as soon as her eyes laid on the healthy protagonist. And the snakes were lying around her and the castle. Mu Lan didn't kill snakes those were behind her. 'Then how?' Mrs. Li couldn't find out the reason.
