Rocot: Reborn

The smell of the woman's perfume made Roccod feel sick, like the smell of cheap, low-quality red wine mixed with low-quality cigarettes. He shook the woman's hand away, but the woman didn't get angry, she just chuckled and glanced at the black snake on the ground with contempt.

"What? Do I need to avoid reminiscing about the past with my old lover?" The woman's tone was full of sarcasm.

"Shut your mouth, Victoria." Roccod squeezed out these words from between his teeth. He bent down to pick up the dagger on the ground, twirling it flexibly between his fingertips, staring fiercely at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of him, "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise..."

"What else?" Victoria met Rocot's gaze provocatively, without any fear, "Kill me?"

"Do you think I don't dare?" The dagger in Rocot's hand flashed coldly, looking particularly cold under the dim light.

Victoria chuckled, walked to the bar counter, and poured herself a glass of wine. The red liquid shone seductively under the light. She shook the glass gently and said nonchalantly, "Go ahead, what else are you afraid of? But are you sure you want to do it here? My men are waiting outside."

"You!" Roccod was furious, but he had to admit that Victoria was right. This was indeed not a good place to take action.

"Don't be so angry, Rocot." Victoria walked up to Rocot and reached out to touch his cheek, but Rocot grabbed her wrist.

"Don't touch me!" Rocot shook her hand away in disgust.

Victoria was not angry, she just took back her hand and chuckled, "You are still so unkind, no wonder you were so unkind back then..."

She didn't say anything else, but Rocco knew what she wanted to say. The betrayal that year was like a thorn that pierced deeply into his heart and he could never forget it.

"What do you want to do?" Rocot asked coldly, suppressing his anger.

"I don't want to do anything, I just want to catch up with you." Victoria walked to the sofa and sat down, crossing her legs elegantly. "After all, we are old friends, aren't we?"

"Who are you and I?" Rocot snorted coldly, "I can't even compare to a great Buddha like you."

"Don't say that, Roccod." Victoria stood up, walked to Roccod, and gently stroked his cheek. "I know you hate me and want to kill me, but have you ever thought that I was helpless back then?"

Rocot grabbed her hand and threw her away. "That's enough! Don't mention the past to me again!"

"Back then? What happened back then?" the black snake, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly asked.

Neither Rocot nor Victoria said anything, but just looked at her coldly.

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Black Snake felt the cold gazes of the two people and couldn't help but shrink his neck.

"You don't need to know," Rocot said coldly.

"Why? Is there any unspeakable secret between you?" Black Snake asked relentlessly.

"You..." Roccod was about to get angry but was stopped by Victoria.

"Let her talk." Victoria looked at the black snake with interest. "I want to see what you can say."

Black Snake got Victoria's support and became bolder. She got up from the ground, walked in front of Roccod, and looked at him provocatively. "Tell me, what happened back then? Why did you become like this?"

"You're looking for death!" A hint of murderous intent flashed in Locot's eyes, and the dagger in his hand was raised again.

"Stop!" Victoria suddenly shouted, "Lockold, are you really going to ruin my good thing for an insignificant woman?"

"It doesn't matter?" Rocot sneered, "She is mine..."

"Your what? Your woman? Your plaything?" Victoria interrupted him mercilessly, "Don't forget, you are dead. Now you are nothing but a lost dog. What right do you have to have love?"

The dagger in Rocot's hand trembled slightly. Victoria's words were like a sharp knife, piercing his heart fiercely.

Victoria's words were like a sharp blade, slicing at Rocot's heart. The dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound, like the death knell of despair.

"Qualifications?" Rocot seemed to have heard a big joke. He suddenly laughed up to the sky, his laughter full of sadness and self-mockery, "Of course I don't have the qualifications! I don't even have the qualifications to live, so how can I talk about love?"

He raised his head suddenly, staring at Victoria with his scarlet eyes, as if he wanted to devour her. "Do you think I want to do this? Hiding like a stray dog? If it weren't for you, if it weren't for you..."

"If it wasn't me, what?" Victoria took a step closer and lifted Rocot's chin with her slender fingers, forcing him to look directly at her. "If it wasn't me, do you think you would still be standing here? You would have been torn to pieces by your enemies long ago!"

"Shut up!" Roccod waved her hand away and held his head in pain. "Stop talking, I don't want to hear it!"

"Don't want to listen?" Victoria sneered, "Lockold, you are still as cowardly as before and dare not face the reality. Do you think you can solve the problem by escaping? Do you think you can go back to the past?"

Roccod's body trembled even more violently. He fell to his knees in pain and covered his ears with his hands, as if this could block out Victoria's harsh words.

"That's enough, Victoria." Black Snake, who had been silent all this time, could no longer bear it. She stepped forward and helped the shaky Roccod up. "You knew that this was what he least wanted to hear, so why did you deliberately provoke him?"

Victoria glanced at Black Snake coldly, with a warning in her tone, "This is a matter between him and me. It's not your turn to interfere."

Black Snake met her gaze fearlessly. "I just can't stand your behavior of taking advantage of others' misfortunes. After all, he used to be..."

"Shut up!" Roccod suddenly roared in anger. He stood up suddenly, grabbed Black Snake's neck and pressed her against the wall. "Who told you to meddle in other people's business?"

Black Snake was frightened by this sudden change. She looked at Rocot in horror, her eyes full of disbelief.

"Locked, you're crazy!" Victoria was also shocked by Rocot's behavior. She wanted to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by Rocot's cold eyes.

"Don't come over here!" Rocot's voice was hoarse and low, like a demon from hell, "Otherwise, I will kill you too!"

His hands tightened more and more, Black Snake's breathing became more and more difficult, and his face gradually turned pale.

"Lockold, calm down!" Victoria said anxiously, "She is just an insignificant person. You don't have to..."

"Insignificant?" Roccod suddenly laughed, his laughter full of self-mockery and despair. "Yes, in your eyes, the people around me are insignificant and can be sacrificed at will, right?"

His hand suddenly tightened, and a trace of despair flashed in Black Snake's eyes. She dropped her arms weakly, and her consciousness gradually blurred...
