Trial Of Love
/ Trial Of Love Chapter 389 - The Devil Herself
Akita and her followers spread all over the town in search of their Young Princess. They know that her priority was to get to the capital. So, they waited by the bus station and other areas in which they'll use to exit the town.
"Mistress, I'm sorry but we still haven't found them."
"Same here, I've inquired and no one has seen her."
"Hmm…"
Akita got her phone out and called someone. "Master…"
"Akita, what's wrong?"
"She've disappeared."
"She did?"
"Seems like they are helping the Young Princess."
"Are they?"
"Well, if they are to harm her, we would have found them already yet they are nowhere to be found."
"I see, very well then…"
"So what should we do then?" Akita inquired seeing their mission was cancelled seeing the tables have turned.
"Well, I've heard more trash is on their way. You better still find the Young Princess and keep those trash from seeing her."
"With pleasure." Akita smile was meaningful as she ended the call.
"So what's now Mistress?"
Akita turned to her followers with the same smile on her face, "We have a new mission. Protect the Young Princess and her little helper and kill the trash after them."
Everyone: "Yes Mistress!"
Akita checks her phone once again and saw the information Master Shou sent her. They were the list of people who arrived just a few hours ago and are after their Young Princess's life.
"How troublesome."
Meanwhile, Jo, Elizabeth, and Megan finally reached the end of the tunnel. It leads them out to an abandoned alley in the middle of the town.
"Jo, go check the area." Megan order.
"Alright."
Jo went ahead and checks the area leaving Elizabeth alone with Megan.
"Why are you doing this? You do know your lives are in danger because of me. My father won't spare you even if I beg him."
"That's fine."
"Are you crazy?"
"You can say that." Megan chuckled softly.
"Who are you really? Why are you risking your life for me?"
Megan said nothing and top Elizabeth by her forehead with her two fingers. "Let's go."
Elizabeth was dumbfounded as to why she felt a familiar sensation when she received the tap on the forehead as if something like this happened before as well.
"Why do I feel like I know her?"
Megan went ahead and meet Jo halfway. "So?"
"Bad news, I saw some of Akita's girls wandering around."
"And?"
"It doesn't seem as if they are after us, they more like waiting for someone."
"Waiting?"
"Yeah, they were all just sitting around idly and doing nothing."
Megan was speechless and wonders what Akita could be thinking. She was sure that they know Elizabeth was with them, so why are they not making a move.
"Mercenaries." She muttered.
"You mean, they are waiting for the mercenaries?"
"It's possible since they aren't looking for us."
"Why?"
"Maybe they saw we weren't a treat to their Young Princess and decided to clean those after her instead."
"So are you saying her father is letting her go?"
"I think he is? I mean, somehow I don't know why but I think Lord Knightley does want her to recover her memory but why?"
"You mean, there is another reason for all of this?"
"I think so… We better keep a close watch on everything. Once we reach the capital, find out if there is any information as to all of this."
"Got it."
Elizabeth notices the seriousness in both Jo and Megan's expression. She wonders what they could be talking about. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, we better get out of here before it gets dark."
"Hmm," Elizabeth responded but noticing something strange when Megan responded as if she is bothered by something. 'I wonder what they talked about.'
Elizabeth has so many questions yet she had no time for them. Right now, her priority is to get to the capital at the same time escape. Even though she notices Jo and Megan have shown no sign in harming her, she didn't trust them.
As they walked up the street, one of Akita's girls notice them but stayed put and grab her phone instead.
"Mistress, I found them. The Young Princess is safe and they are heading west now."
Akita who was resting in one of the pubs finished her coffee. "Very well, I'm on my way. Keep a close watch on them but make sure they don't notice you. I'll need to take care of some unwanted guests."
Akita ended the call and got up from her seat when she notices a group of mercenaries walking inside the pub. She has this smile on her face which means death.
"Excuse me but have you seen this girl?"
The barman looked at the photo the mercenary was showing him. He looked confused as to why they showed him a photo of a person who he knows is supposed to be dead. "Sir, you do know who that person is right?"
"So, have you seen her?"
"Sir, that person is dead. Haven't you seen the news lately?"
"Never mind."
Mercenary 1: "Boss, this is useless, I saw another group arriving as well."
Mercenary 2: "Boss, I just found out this is Ghost Group turf. Should we go visit them first and ask for their help? I'm sure they'll be able to help us."
Mercenary Boss: "Idiots, I'm sure they are on the hunt for her as well. The person is offering more than a billion for her. Who wouldn't want to join this haunt?"
Mercenary 2: "Boss, why is the Young Princess being blacklist anyway. Isn't she the princess of the Knightley family?"
Mercenary Boss: "Idiots like you won't know this, but, the so-called Young Princess has another identity which most mercenary and clans know her as."
Mercenary 1: "….."
Mercenary 2: "Who?"
"The Little Lady."
The mercenary group was all surprised when a woman voice answers from behind them. They all turned around at the same time and were surprised to see Akita standing behind them with the same deadly smile.
"That right, she was known as the Little Lady." The Mercenary Boss repeated and scanned Akita curiously as to her identity. "And who might you be?"
"Someone very close to the person you're looking for." Akita kept the same smile on her face.
The mercenaries were all breath taken by Akita's charm. She was beautiful and has this unique oriental beauty. Her beautiful, long black hair drop perfectly all the way to her h.i.p.s. She has this snow-white skin, black pearl eyes, and rosy lips.
"So, you're after the Young Princess as well." The Mercenary Boss was taken by Akita's beauty and was l.u.s.ting for it.
"Maybe." She responded.
"How about this, be mine and we can share the money." The Mercenary Boss suggested with such l.u.s.tful smile.
"Hmm,"
They were all curious as to what Akita would say.
"How about I kill you now and I'll keep the money." She added.
"What?"
"Boss."
Before any of them could react, Akita pulled out two small knives and slices the throat of the Mercenary Boss and those men close to her. Shocked from what was happening, most of the mercenaries were unable to react and soon meet their death as well. Those inside the pub were horrified by what was happening in front of them. Instead of screaming or running away, they stayed rooted in their seat.
After a minute or so, Akita finished the ten mercenaries without a sweat. She then flicks her knives to remove the blood, as she places it back to where she got it from. She then went to the barman and order herself a shot.
"Anything else?" The barman asked.
"Here, for the mess." Akita places a check on the table as she shot down the whiskey and left without further words.
The barman examines what was written on the check and his eyes lit with the number of zeros on it. At the same time, he notices a familiar mark on the check which was a sign that what happened must be kept a secret. Meaning, the person she killed was from the underground society. If he wishes to keep his life, he better stay quiet.
"You all better leave." The barman said as he hints his men to prepare to get rid of the body and dispose of them.
Those inside the bar quietly left without paying for what they order for it has already been paid for as per the barman sign.
"Boss, who was that?" One of the barman's workers.
"That was the devil herself."
