[WARNING: A slight brutal scene ahead.]
Aisha was watching Nikos' speak when her sharp senses catch a movement from the second floor. She look up to the top and saw a faint lightning reflecting on the smooth body of a gun.
"Crap!" Aisha cursed and then suddenly, all lights went out.
Augustus sense something was amiss and he shouted, "Everyone get down!"
Almost immediately, a gun shot was heard. Most people shout in fear and surprise, many of them run towards the exit while some who stays and tried to find the Samuel to get the key.
In the dark room, many of them has a hard time seeing in the dark, however, the necklace that Adeline wore shines in the dark room. Her necklace was imprinted in their minds because of its unique design so when the guests saw this faint light, they quickly fled to the direction of the necklace.
Adeline felt a chill in her spine, she gripped the gun in her evening bag, she had her guard up. She felt that someone was coming near her and she sensed danger so she aim the gun towards that direction and fired the gun.
"Dàmn, bîtch!" Someone cursed.
Adeline took a deep breath, her hand gripping the gun is shaking. It isn't the first time she fired a gun but she still can't get used to it. Suddenly, a cold hand gripped her wrists in a tight grip.
Adeline almost shouted in surprise. She flung her elbow towards the person behind her but the person block her elbow with his palm and twisted it in her towards Adeline's back.
Adeline groaned and her face turned pale in the dark as the gun in her hand was snatched and feel the coldness of the muzzle of the gun in her temple.
"Don't try to struggle, bïtch, or you're dead." The man threatened.
"Fvck you!" Adeline spat, and then realized that there's more people coming at her. "Dàmn!" Adeline was prepared to be caught and beaten by this people but she didn't expect that within just a second, the man holding her collapse as well as those people who approach her.
Adeline heard a series of loud thud and her mouth was left agape, suddenly, she hears a voice.
"Follow us, our Lady Boss instruct us to protect you." The man said when he went to Adeline's side and support her body.
"Lady Boss? Who?" Adeline was skeptical, she wasn't the type to meddle with everyone so her circle of friends is small.
"Aisha De La Torre." Adeline was frozen in her position in shocked when she hears his answer. The man take the opportunity of Adeline's shock and pulls her out of the two story grand resort that the El Grande Asta was held this night.
Aisha De La Torre...? My granddaughter?
"This was really impulsive of you!" Aisha said angrily through gritted teeth, a faint drop of blood fell from the slight scratch on her left cheek, she was scrouched down the stage and beneath her was Samuel lying on the stage floor. Her tight long dress was ripped until to her upper tighs, Aisha ripped it while running for the dress limits her moves.
Though, it was a long time since Samuel saw Aisha but he still recognize her voice. "Aisha, dear?"
"The one and only." Aisha mutters coldly. It was a good thing that she reacted really fast and when she saw a strange man in black, she quickly dash at the direction of the stage and manage to pull down Samuel to avoid the bullet but the bullet grazed her cheek in the process.
Nikos, who is beside her, had his eyes wide in shock. He knew that Aisha's main strength isn't brute strength but her speed, but he didn't expect for her to run towards the stage from the farthest corner of the hall in just a short span of seconds and even manage to save Samuel in time.
Nikos was really impressed by Aisha's ability but Aisha was lamenting and disgusted in her heart. Maybe it was because she was always seating in the dàmn leather chair that for Aisha, her skills are a little worse than her previous skills.
If Nikos will know what she's thinking, he might have vomit blood.
"What are you doing here? It's dangerous!" Samuel scolded Aisha as he tries to push her off of him but Aisha pinned him down more using her legs.
"I should say the same thing to you!" Aisha retorted, her hands reaching for her gun and aim it towards the direction where the bullet came from. "Go! Your wife is safe with my man's men!"
"I'm not going to leave you here!" Samuel protested, forgetting how Aisha said "my man".
"Don't be too stubborn, Samuel. It's you who they are after! You'll just be a burden if you stay here!" Aisha shouted that shut Samuel up.
Samuel gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. His granddaughter is right, he'll just be burden for her if he stays here any longer. He knows how to fight and protect himself but he's not as skilled and strong as Aisha, he will only put her life in danger.
Aisha noticed his silence and knew that he agreed with her. She turns to Nikos and said, "You take care of him, find Aeron's men." And with that she run towards the stairs to the second floor, leaving Nikos with Samuel with a bewildered expression.
My man... Aeron Cavelli?
Upstairs.
The man fired a few bullets before noticing Aisha's running figure towards the stairs.
"Fuck!" He curses and ran towards the the big window. He fired a dozen of bullets in the window, forming a big circle and then he jump and kicked the center of the circle.
He was about to go down when the hoodie he is wearing is being held in a tight grip. Aisha was behind him and pulled him harshly back inside, she dumped him to the floor and stepped into his abdomen.
"Ack!" The man coughed with blood, he struggled against Aisha's hold but Aisha uses her other free foot and smash it against the man' jaw, turning it to the side with such force that the man's neck breaks. The man immediately stopped struggling as his heart stop breathing.
Once he's dead, Aisha feel something flying in her direction. She lean her body backwards and the sound of a knife piercing through the wall was heard. At the same time Aisha moves to dodge the attack, she get her shuriken tied to her inner tighs and throws it towards the direction where Aisha located his presence.
The shuriken pierced the man's throat and immediately dies. Aisha closes her eyes and feel her surrounding. She counted how many people was in the room. She estimated it as hundreds.
Aisha pulls her face mask off and open her eyes. In the dark room, Aisha's cold and emotionless violet eyes was blazing with anger, the already cold temperature dropped a few more degree. The people hidden in the dark shudders as they saw Aisha's murderous gaze, it was as if the great devil ascend to the Earth to deliver their demise.
Aisha cracked her knuckles as she smiled devilishly. "Let's see who among you will survive."
