Bloodbath

"So?" Ivy looked up at Tiger, her hand on his inked chest. "Does this mean you are safe?"

Tiger arched a brow as he looked down at her, using his other arm as a pillow underneath the back of his head. "For now, yes."

"For now?" Her lips curved downward, and she propped her elbow against the mattress to look at him better. "What do you mean by that?"

"Doubling the bounty on my head doesn't necessarily mean people will not come after me," he explained with a light chuckle, poking the tip of her nose. "It only means those who were tempted to claim the fifty billion will buy me some time."

Her mouth opened and closed, trying to process what he meant by that. In the end, she pressed her lips into a thin line, her eyes still on him.

"Are you saying some people will most likely ignore your request? While others might change their minds?"

"Everything is just business, nothing personal." He shrugged indifferently. "It'll be a bloodbath."
