Life As a Servant 130 Chapter 130 : A Trap

"Bin, what happened?!"

As she couldn't see anything and only hear the continuous gunshots, Melissa asked her servant when things got a bit quieter.

Looking at the documents in his hands, Bin let out a groan and replied,

"I've got the-"

Before he could finish, he felt something press on the back of his head. Without needing to look, he slowly raised his hand in the air. The documents were snatched back by a tall man wearing a black suit, he was one of the enemies.

"Hello? Bin?"

Bin couldn't even talk as he controlled his breathing and tried not to make any sudden moves. The man took confirmed that the documents were real while another one searched Bin and took all the weapons he was hiding.

It seemed the man who caught him was of a higher status than the one searching him. He pocketed the stack of documents before taking Bin's earpiece, putting it on then saying,

"You ran out of luck."

Then, he threw the earpiece and crushed it with his boots, leaving Melissa no time to reply.

Just as he was about to finish Bin, a gunshot was heard and the man holding a gun against Bin's head fell on the ground, lifeless. The servant used this opportunity to swiftly turn around and jump at the remaining man.

He used his whole body weight to push the man down and tried to wrestle the documents out of him. Fortunately, Bin had the upper hand and managed to get the documents but before his end wasn't that good as someone kicked him from behind, throwing his body to the side before taking the documents and leaving.

The form of the kick caused Bin to immediately fall unconscious. As for the enemy, he quickly sobered up and was infuriated over the loss of the documents but, upon seeing the masked unconscious youth, he frowned then retrieved one of the guns laying on the floor before dragging Bin elsewhere, of course, not forgetting to tie him up first.

…

"Reporting to Miss, we got the documents."

The three men that accompanied Bin actually managed to escape, though one of them was seriously injured. They only reported to Melissa after informing her brother, who should be arriving before her, or so they expected.

To begin with, they were his employers and not hers and their loyalty laid with him. Were it not for her father, they wouldn't have obeyed her orders, which is why she sent Bin to get the documents as they will most likely hand them to her insidious brother.

"What about Bin?"

"Uncertain. We saw him get captured but couldn't save him as reinforcements have arrived."

The man named Bulwart, the leader of those three, emotionlessly replied to Melissa, who clicked her tongue but didn't ask any other questions.

Secretary Park, who was sitting next to Melissa inside the car, turned towards her and hesitantly asked,

"Miss, what's wrong?"

The blond girl's expression was grim, making him feel nervous as if he did something wrong.

In fact, the mission was successful and although it's not that easy, she didn't expect Bin to be captured.

"It was a trap."

"What was?"

"The whole thing!"

She clenched her fists and picked her phone again, calling a few people before hanging up.

"I don't understand, Miss."

"They lured us with the real thing, the documents. Their purpose was to prove our involvement in order to prove their counterattack later on. Thankfully, Bin cannot be traced back to us."

"That's good, then. Although your brother will get the documents, Miss can still recover. As for Bin… we can just say that he was unlucky."

Melissa snorted but didn't reply, her expression worsening with every passing second.

…

Bulwart was waiting for his boss to arrive while Cad, his friend, was tending to the injured one. After ten or so minutes, a black Mercedes parked next to them.

The man was overjoyed that the mission was complete. He marched toward the car with the documents in his hand but his foot abruptly paused as a blond lady got out of the car.

"M-miss."

She stretched her hand and glared at him coldly.

"Hand over the documents."

The man didn't do as ordered, he had a complicated expression as he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

"Aren't you going to hand them over?"

She raised her voice and stepped closer, pressuring Bulwart, who finally relented.

"Miss… you brother tasked us to-"

She interrupted him by saying, "Your job was to secure the documents! I don't need you anymore so just leave."

Melissa waved her hand dismissively, got into the car, and left. As for Bulwart, he stood there, dazed and a bit angry. A bit after that, another car parked next to the three and a tall and broad-shouldered young man with short blond hair and a white suit appeared.

He was James, Melissa's older brother and the eldest son of the family. He was in bad terms with his sister and always wanted to prove himself to his father in order to inherit everything. Initially, he never felt threatened by Melissa but once she started showing a lot of promise, he started plotting against here and, from then on, from siblings, they became enemies.
