It was that backstabbing Li! I thought she was kidnapped but from the sounds of the conversation she was working with those so called kidnappers!
My face must have tinted red because of this, that girl made me waste 3 weeks of my life so I could save her traitorous life which was not in danger at all.
I cannot believe this.
I kept on listening in.
"That Higashi boy has completely fallen for me! It's not surprising that soon out genius master will take me as his lover. "
"Uhhhh, right"
I chuckled inwardly, that stupid girl. She's already got a Higashi and now she wants the leader of this whole thing.
So naive. Her subordinates also clearly saw her nativity, she so easy to see through it's laughable.
The noise of a turning chair sounded from inside the room and I completely stuck myself against the wall I was leaning on.
"You boys are so idiotic, can't you see this unparalleled beauty in front of you who will steal the heart of our master?!"
"Of course we see,"
'The idiotic ugly face of yours' I added to their sentence mentally.
A smile came upon my face.
"Where's the owner of the house? He was suppose to come straight back after answering the door." Natalia said.
"I'll go check,"
After the subordinate said that I just realised my own idiocy. I was in a corridor, one look outside and I'd be found out. There were no nearby rooms o could take cover in, everything could be seen from on point in this hallway. I slapped myself mentally.
I crouched and got ready for action as different ideas came into my head and I tried to fit the ideas into a plan but to no avail. I came to no conclusion and was running out of time as the footsteps of the subordinate could be heard nearing the doorway. So what did I do?
I went off by instinct.
As soon as he made eye contact I pulled him to the side with my hand around his mouth and then knocking his knees so he was immobile for that split second I needed to knock him out.
My hand landed a silent hit powerful strike onto the back of his neck and he flopped, signalling unconsciousness.
I listened in on their increasingly boring conversation. I might have stayed there for too long though.
"Where did Gary go?"
"Don't know don't care,"
"I going to check on him."
"Goodbye then."
The footsteps of the other subordinate cane drawing closer. Then I thought, if I took out both of them then Natalia would be left unguarded and I could then go inside without worry.
He came out and I did the same procedure I did with the other subordinate. The two unconscious bodies decorated the plain wooden floor of the corridor as I left them there.
Standing up to my full height I strode confidently into the room, ready to deliver some well earned payback.
Tap
Tap
Tap
My heels sounded as I blocked the light from the room from existing and stared at the eyes of the snake in front of me.
Her brown eyes widened in shock and her face contorted isn't an expression which was a mix of shock, fear and realisation.
No guards to protect you little princess of the profound Li and no master to guide you out of your predicament.
Your left with you yourself and I.
I gave her a menacing smirk which held the arrogance of an advantage.
Tap
Tap
Tap
I got closer to the withdrawing Natalia.
My teeth were all out for show, waiting just to tear down that ego of hers and build atop a new perspective of life. You could even say I was educating her.
Educating her on what the consequences were when you are a backstabbing b*tch.
I'm overly nice I'm fully aware of that.
A rushed set of footsteps then sounded and I was behind her with a pocket knife to her neck.
It was a few millimetres from her neck but I was sure she could already feel the cold edge of the knife.
"Now, be a good girl and tell me what i want to know." My voice was cold and held no mercy fro my incoming actions.
She swallowed very cautiously and for that split second the edge of the blade barely scraped her skin which was leaking perspiration.
She became still.
I waited patiently for her answer while still holding the knife to her neck.
"What do you want to know."
"Why were you faking being kidnapped and who is your master? Remember if you give me extra information I might consider letting you live,"
Her eyes lit up the slightest bit.
"His name is unknown to everyone in the company but we know he was once part of a noble family. This plan was only a small corner piece of the grand scheme though we have not been told what the end goal is."
"Why are people following him?"
I continued asking, hopefully I can get some more leads off this girl.
"Because of promised riches and fame."
I rolled my eyes, so typical, why couldn't people just be a tiny bit smarter and not fall for the biggest of cliches.
"How is Yuuta involved in this?"
" he was a useful pawn that I picked up, but now he is part of the big picture.
Another piece of information that you want to know?"
"Continue."
"He betrayed you and your secret, Micheal Malligane Coltus."
My jaw tightened and with it my hands. A quick movement out of rage and spit she was lifeless on the floor.
Red blood surround her body and her eyes were wide open at the shock of the death.
Out of all the people I knew. All of them have betrayed me in one way for another.
My lips pulled back slightly into a snarl and I was about to leave the room.
A phone of the nearby table then lit up and started to ring.
