Chapter 986: The One Who Dances with the Devil
The woman in black brought the girl away .
Mr . Berveld looked over, well aware that the girl whom he had intended to deflower was going to be under Lucifer’s unconditional protection . If anything were to happen to her, Lucifer would be standing up for her . Those were the rules of the Elegance Room that everyone had to follow and abide by .
Wen Xinya cocked her head sideways to look at Liu Yanhua . “Mr . Berveld has broken the rules of Elegance Room . How should he be punished?”
As soon as she said those words, all the guests present gasped in shock . Although they found it incredible, no one dared to doubt her since they were in the Elegance Room .
A sullen expression formed on Mr . Berveld’s face and he glared at Wen Xinya coldly with his eyes glassed over .
Liu Yanhua answered sternly, “There must be blood . ”
Before anyone else could even react, Wen Xinya whipped out Athena and fired a bullet which grazed across Mr . Berveld’s hand, making it bleed .
Wen Xinya blew some air on her barrel and said, “There’s this Chinese saying that goes, ‘To err is human . What matters is that you learn from your mistakes and repent . ’ Since you’ve learned your lesson, I shall punish you lightly, Mr . Berveld . ”
The blood then trickled down Mr . Berveld’s hand and onto the ground .
The fleeting moment of silence made the gambler feel like gambling again .
To the gamblers, blood was so important that they would forget about being humane, for they were too preoccupied with gambling and the superstitions around it . In fact, they had become slaves to gambling .
Mr . Berveld remained silent while smiling throughout .
Wen Xinya was smiling too .
They faced each other in complete silence .
He then took a few steps back and took a seat by a gambling table .
However, Wen Xinya decided to head upstairs because she was no longer in the mood to gamble .
The hollow stairs croaked whenever Wen Xinya stepped on it . Although it was rather unsteady, Wen Xinya enjoyed the feeling of stepping on clouds .
The loud and crisp sounds of applause sounded in the air at the instant that she arrived on the second floor .
Wen Xinya stood by the stairwell and looked in the direction where the noise was coming from, only to see Mr . Wei standing still like an aristocrat during the Renaissance, refined and elegant .
Wen Xinya’s face grew sullen beneath her mask, not wishing to cross paths with him because she felt that he was too mysterious and shady .
While applauding and chuckling, Mr . Wei said, “Interesting . I didn’t expect you to be such an interesting person on top of being so talented in chess and the arts . ”
There seemed to be a layer of fog on top of his blue eyes which made it difficult to tell his emotions .
When they were in the private room earlier on, he was cold, aloof and standoffish . Yet, he was now acting so friendly and chummy with Wen Xinya, giving her a fresh impression of him . “Mr . Wei, you’re flattering me . ”

Her reply was cold yet polite .
Seemingly not bothered by her attitude, Mr . Wei said calmly, “I am the beginning and the end . God doesn’t exist around me . I’ll rise above to the clouds and I’ll be as high as the sky . ” He was reciting the portion of Lucifer’s verse that Wen Xinya had quoted earlier on . However, his tone was ambiguous . “Is that how you deciphered that person?” he asked .
He was referring to Si Yiyan .
Wen Xinya pursed her lips, her mask appearing unusually frigid under the strong beams of light . Mr . Wei was clearly an enemy . “I doubt that has anything to do with you, Mr . Wei!” Wen Xinya answered .
Ignoring her answer, Mr . Wei continued self-righteously, “I just want to tell you, Lucifer has also said another line that goes, ‘Follow me and I’ll make you the devil of souls . ’ Miss Bella, do you know that you’ve constantly been dancing with the devil?”
Wen Xinya answered, “Lucifer also said, ‘I’m a bright and shining star . I am the light of the world . My followers should not be in the dark, but rather, they should thrive in the light . ’” Wen Xinya could sense that there were hidden meanings to his words, though she was confused about what exactly he meant .
Not at all offended by her sharp tongue, Mr . Wei walked towards her slowly and said composedly, “Do allow me to remind you, God doesn’t exist around him, but he isn’t God either . So… he’s not invincible . ” He then laughed out loud and continued, “Let me tell you, those who dance with the devil usually end up in terrible plights . ”
Wen Xinya watched him leave while her right eyelid began to twitch .
She was overwhelmed with an ominous hunch .
Standing on the second floor, Wen Xinya looked down at the people in the gambling hall which she had a clear view of .
She turned around and headed to the washroom on the second floor which was rather near her . Hence, Liu Yanhua did not insist on tagging along .

Wen Xinya stood in front of the mirror and looked at her own reflection while her vision began to turn blurry for no reason . Her pupils dilated and she subconsciously shook her head .
She then extended her fingers and shook them in front of her eyes, unable to focus at all because her vision was getting blurry .
She finally discovered that something was amiss with herself .
She had been tricked and set up . There were just too many possibilities and she could not figure out when she she had been drugged . It could have been something she ate, something she drank or the perfume of a stranger .
She knew that there were too many people and too many possibilities . The person who had set her up only had two reasons to do so—because she was Rex’s lover and because she was Lucifer’s lady in-charge .
It could have been because of a grudge or a feud .
She tried to recall when she had been set up and who the person who had drugged her could be .
Could it be Avrora, who had been behaving strangely? Or the sinister Mr . Berveld? Or was it the mysterious Mr . Wei?
She reckoned that it must have had something to do with what Mr . Wei said to her—”Do allow me to remind you, God doesn’t exist around him, but he isn’t God either . So… he’s not invincible . Let me tell you, those who dance with the devil usually end up in terrible plights . ”
Is it like what I’m thinking?
Was it a friendly reminder or a threat?

Gradually, she began to hallucinate and she suddenly closed her eyes before falling towards the wall and plastering her back against it . The chilliness of the wall seemed to have penetrated through her back and her bones before spreading to the rest of her body .
Soon, she began to get used to the silent and painless feeling of dizziness . Supporting herself against the wall, she slowly left the washroom .
All she could see was a white ray of light and she was just like a blind person trying to feel guide herself through .
While trying to move, she yelled, “Sis Yanhua, Sis Yanhua, are you there?”
