Chapter 683: Are You a Singer?

“It’s burning!” Tally exclaimed, clutching the ruby as though it were scalding hot coal, searing her skin with agonizing pain.
Despite the discomfort, the more she struggled to release the “embers” in her hand, the more tightly she clenched it.
The ruby’s sharp edges pierced her flesh, drawing blood as she screamed in hysteria.
Ruan Meng stood frozen, witnessing a scene eerily reminiscent of past encounters. Except this time, it was Tally herself in distress.
“Tally!”
The man bearing Tally’s likeness reacted with alarm. Seeing Tally attempt to cut him with the ruby, he rushed to intervene.
Grasping her wrist firmly, he attempted to wrest the ruby from her grasp, but Tally’s hold was ironclad.
“Tally, snap out of it!”
“Damn it!”
The man muttered a curse under his breath. Unable to rouse Tally from her stupor, he resorted to knocking her unconscious with a swift blow from a knife.
With Tally now incapacitated, he carefully carried her a safe distance away, ensuring they were beyond the reach of any lingering hypnotic influence emanating from Gu Yang.
This encounter proved to be a formidable challenge for Tally.
Yet, the man couldn’t comprehend. Gu Yang displayed hypnotic prowess comparable to Tally’s, so why did she claim to be an ordinary individual?
Few possessed the capability to counter Tally’s hypnotic abilities. The only ones he knew of were among the top-ranked in the field.
His steely gaze bore into Gu Yang, a mixture of suspicion and wariness evident in his demeanor. His tone betrayed uncertainty. “Are you Singer?”
” Singer?” Gu Yang was momentarily puzzled before realization dawned. The term “Singer” referred not to a vocalist in the entertainment industry but to the second-ranked hypnotist on the Dark Web Hypnotist Rankings.
Recalling the cryptic warning from the informant, Gu Yang understood. This man’s astute deduction hinted at Tally’s formidable hypnotic skills.
So this Tally Katie was none other than the infamous Witch Tally, ranked tenth on the Dark Web Hypnotist Rankings?
“You’re not Singer,” the man concluded, observing Gu Yang’s reaction. Relief washed over him at the confirmation.
If Tally had indeed offended a Singer, their lives would be at risk today.
But if this young woman wasn’t Singer, then who could she be?
Was she a new hypnotist, or perhaps another individual from the rankings?
Regardless, underestimating this Chinese girl was no longer an option. Devon’s initial arrogance and disdain had dissipated, replaced by a newfound respect. Switching to Chinese, he addressed her, “I am Devon Katie, the eldest son of the Katie family. My sister, Tally, is young and inexperienced. I apologize to you on her behalf.
“May I inquire about your identity? The Katie family wishes to establish friendly relations with you.”
Upon hearing the mention of friendship, Ruan Meng finally recollected her purpose for being there today.
“No way!”
She hadn’t even befriended Gu Yang yet, so she couldn’t let Devon steal a march on her.
Grabbing Gu Yang’s arm, Ruan Meng eyed Devon warily. She whispered to Gu Yang, “Cousin, don’t fall for his lies. The Katie family isn’t to be trusted, especially this one. He’s full of deceit.”
Veins pulsed on Devon Katie’s forehead. “Falling Rice, I am a Mutant.”
Ruan Meng rolled her eyes. “Who here isn’t a Mutant?”
Devon Katie retorted, “So please refrain from speaking ill of me in my presence. I can hear you.”
Mutants’ physical attributes exceeded that of ordinary people, and so did their hearing.
Ruan Meng could tell that Devon Kitty was afraid of Gu Yang. Now that she was hugging Gu Yang’s arm, she was a little fearless. “If you don’t want to hear me badmouth you to your face, turn around.”
