"Maybe you think wrong about me, before I didn't have any other choice, but now I just want to be Yves' concubine!"
"I will never betray him, and you will not see tomorrow for wanting to betray him! Go to hell!" Sinthea would not tolerate threats directed against herself or her lover.
Just as she was about to pull the trigger, the woman suddenly screamed.
"Wait, listen to me first!"
"What's wrong, traitor?" Sinthea frowned.
"Really impatient." Ophelia snorted while still leaning her back on the couch. Even though in front of her was a magnetic gun that could turn her into pieces of flesh, this didn't frighten her at all.
"I just wanted to test your loyalty. Like you, I didn't have a choice before and I really needed Yves in my case to finish off Strucker."
"But that man always surprises me with the new things he brings. Slowly I started to fall in love with him. Starting from strength, intelligence, and many other things, he is the perfect man I desire!"
Ophelia finally gave her explanation. Previously she really wanted to test Sinthea; if she tried to betray him, she would kill her.
"Be happy that you made the right decision, otherwise the mechanisms I have implanted behind you will hollow your body." Ophelia smiled while pointing at the gun that had been well hidden inside the wall. The gun has a firing mechanism when the thread connected to it is pulled.
Hearing her rival's words, Sinthea snorted angrily. Throwing her magnetic gun on the table, Sinthea sat on the sofa with her legs crossed.
"As your name implies, you are indeed a very cunning woman. So, tell me what you really want." Sinthea said impatiently.
Ophelia looked more relaxed. Removing a bottle of red wine from the adjacent wine cabinet, she poured herself and Sinthea two glasses.
"Well, my husband is a very smart and organized man. Even though he is a bit of a pervert and has had affairs with lots of women, I don't really care."
"And I know that you share the same opinion as me."
Hearing those words, Sinthea felt itchy. Sharing the man she likes with tons of women is not what she likes. She couldn't afford to handle that man alone, so she had no other choice.
"Hmph, what good is it for you to say that? If that's all you have to say, then let's end this meeting. Don't waste my precious time."
"Oh, what an impatient woman you are. I just want to make sure you are a loyal to him, that's all."
"For anyone who is disloyal to him, I will make sure that person will die by my hands!" Like a viper, Ophelia's eyes flashed a cold, death light.
"There's no need to think about it too deeply, I'm sure of his choice. Get to the point quickly, my time is precious." Sinthea patted the table.
"Okay, let me get straight to the point. Yves aims to have us as the leaders of Strucker's faction after we take him, as for what purpose it is, it doesn't matter."
"Ever since he showed us his magic power, I'm sure that he has some great plans." Ophelia said.
"Besides that I also believe that Strucker, the person we are going to fight against has certain powers. Especially in the field of magic."
"That old man had a relationship with a woman who was crazy about black magic. In the past, I wouldn't have believed in such superstitious things, but now it's different."
"What we need to do is prepare ourselves better."
Strucker must have had the cards up his sleeve as the boss of such a powerful faction. But what kind of card it was, Ophelia herself didn't really know; all she could do now was a guess at it.
She knew Strucker was nearly seventy, but he still looked relatively young and had a very fit body. This must have something to do with his mysterious lover, right?
Sinthea became even more serious when she heard that. "Yes, I've heard of that before. Out of the three major factions, only the faction Strucker holds is the most mysterious."
"Recently Red Skull has also been looking for some kind of unknown power. Obviously a power unrelated to science, more like magic."
Sinthea's guess was correct. Previously Red Skull had read an old book that stated that certain powers did exist. After connecting with Strucker, he is convinced that supernatural powers exist and wants them!
"So what do you think about this?" asked Ophelia.
"Hmph, even though I don't know much about magic, I do know that Strucker's wife doesn't have a good reputation."
"That woman always performs strange rituals to gain power. Our husband forbade us to use that method, because it is black magic."
Despite her thirst for power, she is not stupid. Dark magic is indeed faster to achieve, but the consequences and the price she has to pay are tremendous. Besides needing to sign a contract with a demon, sacrifices, be it human lives, animals, and other strange things, are required. The witch also had to give up her soul when she died, which Sinthea would never do.
Even though Ophelia wasn't interested in performing rituals to obtain black magic, she was still interested in such magic.
It is said that black magic can make the user immortal. As a woman, how could she not want immortality?
"Hehe, I'll tell our husband later." Ophelia nodded with a chuckle.
"Also we need to develop our Gang better, make money, as well as broaden our power. The money will be needed to buy our children's milk powder in the future."
The woman's last sentence was clearly off the mark! But at the thought of this, Sinthea blushed. Her sisters were pregnant with Yves' child, and she certainly didn't want to lose.
"Hmph, without you telling me I'll do it myself."
