Chapter 324 Darkness

Everyone was stunned when they heard Jiang Yue's statement. A penalty? Was she serious?

"Are you serious?" Zhang Biqi asked while wondering if Jiang Yue had lost her mind. This suggestion meant that if either of them backed out, they would have to pay the penalty of fifty million dollars.

Zhang Biqi was actually quite reluctant because fifty million dollars was not a small sum of money. Her entire savings from being an actress only amounted to ten million dollars andthe Zhang Family's assets only amounted to about seventy million.

"Of course. Don't tell me you are going to back out? I mean, that will be too unfair, no?" Jiang Yue said.

"Of course not! Go make a contract!" she countered. She would not back down no matter what so why should she fear this contract? Moreover, Jiang Yue might even be the one to back down first and she would make herself fifty million.

"Alright! My uncle actually took law in university, so he should be able to put a contract together right away." Jiang Yue said while directing her gaze towards Wang Huo. "Uncle, please draw up a contract. Make sure to include a clause which which says that if any injury results from this game, the shooter will not be liable for anything, including medical bills and stuff like that."

Wang Huo could only sigh before nodding. The confidence in Jiang Yue's eyes was so overwhelming that he could even feel it from afar. He asked someone to bring him a pen and paper and immediately drafted a contract stating Jiang Yue's conditions on the spot.

"Is there anything else that you want to include?" he asked, looking at Fu Jin who was so quiet it was almost scary. Wang Huo was sure that apart from those who knew Fu Jin, everyone else would be afraid of him at this point.

Wang Huo watched as Fu Jin shook his head, his expression was grim and cold.

"Alright, the contract is ready. I need Little Yue and Miss Zhang to come over and sign the contract please. I am also going to need a witness from each family to sign the contract as well."

After signing the contract, Jiang Yue and Zhang Biqi went back to their positions while everyone watched them nervously.

If Zhang Biqi were to injure Jiang Yue, everyone was certain that they would not be able to go back to M Country alive. After all, they had already felt Fu Jin's suffocating aura after Jiang Yue suggested signing a contract. o one in the Zhang and Tang families was able to understand what Jiang Yue was thinking. They couldn't help but wonder if she was just pretending to be brave in front of Fu Jin or was just plain crazy.

Of course, their guess was the latter; a crazy woman. Chen Yueli and Chen Shi made a mental note to include this in their reports. They couldn't help but applaud Zhang Biqi's quick thinking for agreeing to do this.

Meanwhile, Tang Jiali, who was introduced as Chen Yueli's husband, was feeling very conflicted and confused. He was here to learn more about Jiang Yue but her irrational actions thus far did not make any sense to him. According to their intel, Jiang Yue was supposed to be extremely smart and talented, so how come she seemed to be a completely different in person? Was she pretending? Or was she just fooling the media into believing that she was smart?

But, why would she do either of these?

Seeing that there was nothing he could do about it for now, Tang Jiali could only clench his teeth and look on. He was here to know if she was indeed a Li. He even left his own throne and wore an irritating disguise for this. He wanted to see Jiang Yue for himself. He knew that the Queen would send her minions to test out Jiang Yue, so he decided to tag along to witness how she would deal with Jiang Yue. Who would have thought that Jiang Yue would act so recklessly and even put herself in danger? Was she going to continue to act this way the whole time?

"Alright! I'm ready." said Jiang Yue, after putting the apple on top of her head. "Go ahead and shoot the apple. Oh, please remember not to hit a single hair on my head. Remember that you are still inside Wang Estate." she said as she looked at Zhang Biqi and laughed.

Jiang Yue's smile was brilliant, almost blinding. Yet, instead of calming everyone down, they could only feel the chills coming from her words . Everyone knew that she had just threatened them.

Even though it sounded like a joke, nobody could deny the darkness in Jiang Yue's eyes.

Even Tang Jiali was speechless. At that moment Jiang Yue's gray eyes resembled Wang Ruo's so much it was almost frightening.

Everyone watched as Zhang Biqi nocked the arrow and aimed it towards Jiang Yue. They held their breaths as they watched her narrow her eyes, and adjusting her aim carefully to make sure she would not miss the target.

For some reason, Zhang Biqi's actions seemed a little too slow. Jiang Yue almost felt as if she was deliberately delaying time.

In fact, she was purposely taking her time just to add some pressure to Jiang Yue. She was very confident in her skills and was certain she would be able to hit the apple. However, she wanted to pressure Jiang Yue to back out and embarrass herself.

Zhang Biqi might be shallow and stupid but she was very talented in archery. This was one of her positive points.
