fanqie novel
Chapter 319
My men seemed to relax slightly, but not entirely. They didn’t really trust Hannah, it’s not like she’d given them reason to trust her. She’d been ridiculously angry at them the entire time they had known her.
“I see the wing tips are different,” Christof noted quietly breaking the silence.
“They dipped them in something really hot,” I said. “The women said it makes them harder.” “Lava,” Hannah said and then went back to the breast.
My men Looked confused and I explained that the hot rock boiling out of the ground we called lava on Earth. None of us on Earth could touch it because it would burn us so badly. In fact, a human couldn’t really even get near it. My men had never seen it, so they just said they’d use the same word if they ever saw it.
We talked casually until Hannah drifted to sleep and then Evan sighed putting his head in his hands.
“She’s going to have us killed. I said it before and I’ll say it again. That child will be the death of us,” he moaned.
“I bet it’ll be a slow death,” Bane said.
“Anybody with me?”
Really, that’s what you bet on?” I whispered incredulously.

“Okay, fine,” Bane conceded, “then I bet she kills Christof first.” “No way,” Kein scoffed, “head of the family, Damien first.”
Damien smiled ruefully, “I bet she makes me watch and I go last. That would be worse.”
“You want a three way bet, Brother?” Bane asked excitedly.
“Evan, who do you side with?”
“Enough,” I whispered harshly and they ignored me.
“This game is really sick, you should be ashamed-“
Christof cut me off to take sides with Bane. He Liked the idea of being first. Evan sided with Kein and then they all stared at me.
“Well?” Bane prompted getting animated.
“Who do you side with?”
I forgot, I was family now and everyone played when we had these games.
“Fine,” I hissed, “Kein is right, she’d make Damien go first.”
I hoped we’d never find out who won that bet.
My men spent the rest of the night playing a card game. I settled Hannah in bed and came back to join them. Not for the first time, I was glad Rose had taught me these games.
