The Devil who devoured Snow White

Chapter 320  Han family's strongest spear

Thirty minutes ago, inside the basement of the mansion Cian had.

Despite having his wounds treated already, Spider was still locked inside a prison, his ankle chained against the wall to keep him from moving around. Fortunately for him, Cecilia had already passed the keys to escape.

Since he was alone in the basement, he took the opportunity to set himself free. He could walk by himself without wobbling anymore, although the wounds on his body would surely take time before they could fully heal.

As Spider took a step outside the prison, the door was pushed open. A brunette man in his thirties entered the room. "Acari…" Spider's eyes widened in shock when he saw the familiar face.

The side of Acari's lips curled up into a smirk. "Well, well, look at what we got here. I'm surprised to see you alive. I should have made sure I had killed you back then."

Spider clenched his fists tightly. "Why are you doing this, Acari? Si Guanlin is not Ms. Chen's fiance. He's just using you! How can you betray her like this? Our brothers?!"

Acari let out a bored yawn while he listened to the other man's outbursts. This only infatuated Spider when he saw that he didn't care. "Ms. Chen deserves to die. She's a delusional bitch. If I didn't kill her, we'd only be a bunch of dogs under the Wolf King's bastard."

In the next second, Spider dashed to him and threw a punch. The other man was able to dodge it since it was anticipated by him.

Spider was thrown to the ground. He coughed out blood. A few of his ribs were broken after Acari had caught him off guard. "You should have seen her face when she begged for her life." Acari laughed as he landed another kick on the man laying on the ground. "Especially when she learned how her fiance was using her all this time."

Spider's eyes were burning in fury. He was loyal to Han Qinshan and his son, Han Yizhou. Anyone who insulted them deserved to die. Aside from that he killed Chen Yuyan? If the other members of Arachnid learned of this, he was sure that they'll go after Acari.

The battle between the two men was fierce. They were skilled martial artists but because of the injury Spider obtained during his imprisonment there, he was slower than Acari, giving him the upper hand.

Thud!

Spider was thrown to the ground. He coughed out blood. A few of his ribs were broken after Acari had caught him off guard. "You should have seen her face when she begged for her life." Acari laughed as he landed another kick on the man laying on the ground. "Especially when she learned how her fiance was using her all this time."

"Ack!" He groaned upon receiving another kick on his abdomen.

"How can worms like you stand in the same place as me? You're no better than an insect." He pressed his shoe against Spider's head. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"T-they won't let you off if the… others find out…" Spider said through gritted teeth. He was pushing his body to the limits when he tried to brush Acari's shoe off his head but failed to do so.

"Who's going to tell? Your spirit?" He snickered. He finally lifted his shoe off his head and instead, he bent down and grabbed Spider by his hair. He harshly pulled him up just so he could meet his eyes. "If you beg me for your life, I might think of letting you go, again."

The side of Spider's lips curled up into a smile as he flashed his bloodied teeth which only irritated Acari. "I changed my mind. Any last words?"

Spider was breathing raggedly. He could have defeated Acari if not for his condition. "H-hey… how long are you… going to stand there and watch?"

Acari instantly let go of Spider before he snapped his head towards the direction of the door and was surprised to see a bald man with a scorpion tattoo on his scalp. He was leaning against the doorpost with his arms crossed.

"Scorpion…" He mumbled as his guards went up. Since when was he standing there? Since back then, Scorpion has had a lack of presence. Whenever they were together in the group, despite being a group of experts, everyone would forget that he was with them because of this. Gifted with no presence, he had the perfect skills to be an assassin. "Long time no see, Acari." He turned to Spider and chuckled. "It's not like you're going to die with just a few punches and kicks," Scorpion said with a playful smirk.

"I-I'm at death's door…" He spat out blood. He tried to push his body up but all he could manage to do was sit up. His body was badly aching from the damage he received from Acari.

Scorpion straightened his back and smiled plainly. "You've escaped death so many times, I'm sure death's door will shut right on your face once again."

"S-shut up!" Spider glared at him. "Just get me out of here already!"

He snickered before he finally drew his dagger-like eyes to Acari. "At first I couldn't believe my ears but… if you really betrayed Ms. Chen together with Si Guanlin then… it's only right that we go after her killers. I'm sure the boss will be pleased to interrogate you with the rest of the details. I guess, I'll try my best not to kill you right now."

Acari scoffed. "That's if you can even land a hit on me. You've never even defeated me once."

Scorpion's eyes flickered. In a blink of an eye, a loud thud was heard.

Acari came flying against the wall after Scorpion's first landed a hit on his face. "You were saying? Are you all bark now, shithead?"

Spider wanted to smirk but his busted lips ached. Back then, Scorpion has always been the weakest among all the Arachnid leaders. He was an A-rank assassin. It was thanks to his gift that he was able to survive and complete his missions.

When the Wolf King met him, he saw something in him, just like Chen Yuyan. She was the one who asked the Wolf King to have Scorpion assigned among the men to protect Han Yizhou before she came back to the mainland. Back then, he only had the element of surprise but if he were to face an expert one on one, he would always be defeated. He may be the weakest among the group she brought but that didn't mean he would stay weak that's why they all agreed to bring him with them.

After Arachnid disbanded, years passed and Spider had always trained him. Sometimes, even old man Black Bull took him as his student. Scorpion was able to use his lack of presence to his full advantage. He was someone whose moves were extremely hard to read. He was not the wimpy guy who was afraid to face his enemies head-on anymore. He was a force to be feared. He worked hard to make his master proud. When old man Black Bull died, Scorpion was given his master's position and was able to become the Han family's strongest spear.
