Protagonist?Antagonist? I Reject Both

Chapter 203 203:The Queen Of Underworld

"We have got news from the informants. All other forces are gathering to attack us."

Except for the sound of intense breathing, all other noises cease to exist for a moment.

A suffocating atmosphere prevailed as the maid who barged in relayed the information of suspicious activity around the place.

Today was a day off and everything should be down but a large movement had been seen followed by many people fleeing the area followed by a large number of people surrounding Maple Street.

And all of this pointed to one thing.

"What?"

"What?"

Both Feng Ruoxi and Sophia stood up screaming in bewilderment.

As the realization of betrayal sank in, Feng Ruoxi and Sophia's reactions mirrored each other, both rising with incredulous screams.

More servants and workers poured in.

Some were pale and filled in fear, some were worried while some had a resolute expression on their faces as if they were prepared to give it their all to face their storm.

"Those bloody sons of bitch. I knew men were never trustable. Those fuckers can change sides anytime and anywhere," Feng Ruoxi shouted clenching her fist.

"I always knew it…I knew it….Men couldn't be trusted," Feng Ruoxi spat out, her fists clenched in anger. "They're nothing but treacherous bastards who'll switch sides at the drop of a hat."

"Calm down," Sophia urged, her voice a contrast of outward calm and inner turmoil

"Calm down first, "Sophia spoke calmly yet her expression was darkening as she tried to analyze the current scenario.

"Though they may be dissatisfied there was no need to change the ongoing status quo as we are keeping each other in check and by doing this no family or underworld forces has the edge so they want to attack me means someone has managed to convince them to break the balance and soon that someone would have the majority of power."

"But who could that be Sister," Feng Ruoxi asked with a shocked expression.

Suppressing Sophia wasn't a small task as too many cards and power were in play intertwined by a faint balancing thread.

Sophia scratched her forehead wondering about this and then a familiar image came to his mind with his annoying words as he smiled.

[You were regret this…]

"No, it's not possible. Damn! This just doesn't make any sense."

"GAH!"Sophia screamed in annoyance and then her eyes fell on the workers whose eyes were filled with fear.

'Only God knows how many of them would stay by my side and how many would flee.'

Trust….

Those words don't suit here.

Only transactions and benefits matter here.

She also had many Martial King bodyguards and their number certainly isn't less but there was no guarantee that there were spies inside.

And in reality, she didn't want to see anyone switching sides cause it hurt…

It hurts when the people you trust and treat as family stab back.

Shaking his head, Sophia ordered, "Everyone use the backdoors to escape. Cease everything and just escape as far as possible from the city."

The servants who have crawled became pale on hearing this.

"What…No, we can't do that?"

"We will fight till the end."

The black suit cards shouted and bowed their head.

"Madam, believe us. We will protect you."

"Hmph!"Feng Ruoxi snorted on hearing this.

"But..."The maid and servants' expressions faltered upon hearing this.

"Shut up and leave quickly if you don't want to die. I don't have the ability to protect myself."

"No, Mam. We can't…You helped us and fed us so how can we…"

This place was like their home. They had been here for days and it was a small place that had grown to be here.

"Hey!"

A hot wind blew and a fire started to arise….

Sophia's eyes chilled and a suffocating pressure encased everyone.

"Are you disobeying me now?"

"Do you forget who I am?"

Sophia's voice became louder and the gust of wind became stronger.

"I am the Queen!!"

"Do I need the help of pathetic people like you to survive?

"No, it's not that..We.."

"Shut up bugs!"Sophia's eyes gleamed with killing intent.

"I am not gonna die here. We will escape and build our fort somewhere else so….."

Sophia's directive to flee through the backdoors was met with resistance from the loyal servants, their faces reflecting the fear of abandoning the place they'd come to call home.

"Leave now if you want to live," Sophia commanded, her tone brooking no argument. "I can't protect you anymore."

"Madam, please take care."

"Madam, please survive. We will wait for your call."

The servants bowed their heads giving a respectful nod and started to escape.

"Leave and wait for my instructions."

"Bloody fuckers. Just look at these bastards. Just how they crawl away quickly as soon as they are told to."Feng Ruoxi cursed faintly.

"Sister, you are not alone. I will accompany you in this crisis even if it leads you to death."

While she said so, the entire building started to be vacant

The pang of leaving their sanctuary hung heavy in the air as the servants bowed in resignation and began their escape.

Sophia took a heavy breath seeing the place which was like a home becoming empty.

She looked at the reddish velvety interior and remembered that this was the place she met Leon and wished that at least this place remained unchanged alas…

"Sister, I won't leave you to face this alone and why are we wasting time here, why don't we just escape, "Feng Ruoxi declared, her eyes brimming with determination.

Before she could protest, Sophia's hand connected with Feng Ruoxi's head in a swift, punishing blow. "Don't be foolish. There's no need for both of us to suffer."

BANG!

Sophia chopped Feng Ruoxi's head with a glare, "Are you an idiot? Why do you need to sacrifice yourself?"

"Leave, I am alone enough! Moreover, we can't escape. In a way or another, they will surely find us by blood sorcery or forbidden arts."

"No, you can't defeat them. They will send a great number of Martial Kings. What if they don't kill you and then..."Feng Ruoxi shouted in panic. Her heart was already quivering in pain thinking about what might happen to Sophia.
