The author was probably concerned with the western response to the comic if the male MC used an older woman for his blood painting. A certain social media place would freak out, despite her being totally evil. So I kinda figured it wouldn't happen.
Self-aware villains this late in the comic? Shit's about to go down.

Caring about the opinion of the west? I don't think so, lol. Are you reading the same manhua? The West is part of the enemy team, just like how American entertainment so often makes Russia the evil-doers.
@Krister well this is different...
she was dragged on floor then shot by Beiyang main cannon on 'nearly' point blank...
kinda expensive to just kill someone who could just painted on deck...
