Chapter 185: Robbery
Cheyenne came back to her senses and sneered inwardly. 'His tracking skills are too poor.'
How could she not notice him following her when his skills were so clumsy?
But she didn't have time to waste with him here. It was better to go back and get some rest as soon as possible.
Her slender hands were put into the pockets of her pajamas. The woman lifted up her beautiful chin, forming a very soft and beautiful curve between the jawline and neck, delicate yet confident.
However, Jerry quickly regained his composure. This woman was ruthless when she extorted 10 million from him.
Not at all delicate!
On the contrary, she was fierce but with an angelic face.
Cheyenne looked down at Jerry in front of her with a domineering aura. Her red lips lightly opened as she spoke softly, "So tell me, what are you following me for?"
Jerry was caught off guard by her question. His face turned slightly red and his handsome features even showed a hint of shyness as he stuttered, "Wh-who... who's following you? I'm just... just sunbathing here. Science proves that sunbathing can make you taller."
Hearing this, Cheyenne chuckled lightly dragging out the end of her sentence seductively, "Oh... sunbathing here? Holding a cactus while sunbathing? It seems like top hackers really do have some screws loose."
Wait a minute! Wasn't that statement also insulting herself as an expert hacker?
She changed tack immediately and gave up on asking about his intentions for following her: "Alright then, you continue to squat here in the sunshine while I won't disturb you anymore."
As soon as Cheyenne finished speaking, she turned around wearing flip-flops leaving Jerry behind stunned and unable to believe what had just happened.
Was that it?
He thought Cheyenne would teach him a lesson... He hesitated whether or not he should continue tracking after this encounter.
The next moment he saw Cheyenne standing on the side of road, reaching into pocket and feeling around for something; She hadn't carried any change on herself. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Her worried expression resembled that of lost kitten unable find its way home - it was extremely cute!
Jerry stared at this adorable side of hers like an idiot thinking in amazement. "This woman actually has such a lovely side."
Soon enough, Cheyenne who had walked away came back again towards Jerry.
A pair of dainty, fair feet clad in familiar flip-flops stopped in front of Jerry. A delicate hand extended, palmed up, right before his eyes.
Jerry seemed utterly perplexed, like someone who had lost his way. "What's going on?"
The woman immediately shot him a disdainful side-eye and muttered in a less-than-friendly tone, "You imbecile! Can't you see? I'm robbing you, right here!"
This nearly cracked a smile on Jerry's face, much to Cheyenne's annoyance.
'Am I not being menacing enough? Should I just go for it?' she thought.
"What if I don't give you?"
Cheyenne glared at him with a threatening look. Her hands clasped, fingers crossed, she subtly flexed her fingers, making a faint cracking sound.
Her smile was frigid yet laced with allure, as vivid as the oil painting she had just finished earlier, leaving much to the imagination.
"Well, among the people I've beaten up, the least injured one seemed to have been in the hospital for about two weeks. Yes, one guy had a broken leg, and another had three cracked ribs. So, tell me, how would you like my fist in your face?"
Of course, Jerry wouldn't want it at all.
'She's indeed a devil! I must have had a screw loose to ever think she was cute!'
Jerry rubbed his reasonably handsome face, though he had gained a few acne spots from late-night hacking sessions recently. Overall, he still looked good. In an industry where hackers weren't known for their looks, having a decent appearance set him apart.
So, he had to treasure his face.
Once he had the revelation, he gently covered his cheek with one hand and timidly looked at the petite woman before him, asking in a hushed tone, "How much do you want?"
"Two dollars?"
He was confused now, wondering if he had heard wrong. "Two... two dollars?"
Cheyenne hated people who beat around the bush and took their time. She impatiently reached out and tapped him on the head, saying, "Hurry up and stop wasting time."
"Robbing for only two dollars? Is that really all you want?" Did she think so little of him? Jerry angrily took off his backpack and pulled out his black wallet filled with change.
Taking out a 20 dollars bill, he handed it to Cheyenne generously as he said, "Alright then, I'll give you twenty. Can you tell me where you go for clubbing tonight?"
The last sentence was spoken in a playful tone that completely contrasted with his previous timidness.
She gave him a disdainful look before shoving the twenty back into his hand and taking out two dollars from his black leather wallet.
Staring at him with her beautiful eyes shining brightly, she declared firmly, "If I say it's two dollars, then it's two dollars! I never hike up prices just because someone is willing to pay more. As for where I'm going clubbing tonight... why should I tell you?"
He was so surprised that he dropped his wallet on the ground. A photo fell out of it which Cheyenne couldn't help but glance at curiously; It was a picture of Nora sitting elegantly in front of a black piano wearing an adorable pink dress looking like a little princess.
Cheyenne chuckled as if she had discovered something interesting before telling him,"So you really do like Nora huh? Well, let me give you some advice. Give up while there's still time because someone like her would never be interested in someone like YOU."
Jerry became angry after hearing this remark. Gritting his teeth tightly, he retorted, "Someone like me? What kind of person am I exactly... and why are you trying to bring me down? It's not like I'm ugly or anything. And I'm one of the top hackers around!"
