With a loud bang from the door, Leilanie came back to her senses. 'Nine' really cut ties with her. Even though she knew that this day would come, but she never expected it to be soon.
She had a complicated emotions in her heart. She had no idea what to do next because she wasn't really into this kind of doings. She didn't have the guts and wasn't really a bad person, contrary to those merciless figures in underground. She can only keep saying to herself just to comfort herself that what she was doing to Deneza is nothing serious crime because she never intend to kill her. But deep within her heart, she knew that she became twisted because of the hatred that was building up as the days went by. She knew deep down in her mind that what she had done was wrong and that if she went on, she might go crazy. She went a little overboard. This is kidnapping and attempting murder. Just like what 'Nine' said to her awhile ago. If he hasn't got here in time, Deneza could die this time.
Maybe 'Nine' can say what she might end up with if he keeps helping her with her wrong doing, so he decided to sever ties with her for good. That way, He can keep her safe without endangering her life.
Losing her thoughts again, the street gang she had hired to kidnap Deneza, looking at her without saying a word and remained silent. They are exchanging eye contacts with each other and having a communication through their eyes.
Leilanie only came back to her senses only when she heard a soft movement from Deneza. She looked into the woman lying on the table. She looked at her tired and peaceful sleeping expression and it enrages her once again. What makes her sleep so peacefully? Why must she have such a face? Someone with an angel-like face? So innocent and harmless? Deneza truly portrayed the description of "Face of an Angel, mind of a Demon." better. Who would have thought that she already killed someone behind that angelic face of her? A two-faced woman! Hatred filled her eyes once again. She tried to calm herself down and let out a sighed of frustration. She shouldn't burst her emotions again, lest she regret something she didn't want to do.
After calming down, she looked at the gang she hired and sense something amiss.
She knew hiring that kind of person would turn their back and hurt her, but she wasn't that stupid. She stares at each of them and says coldly, "Don't try to think some outrageous thoughts because Nine cut his ties with me. But keep this in mind, if he finds out that I died because of any one of you, he will come after you. We still have a friendly relationship."
She had no doubt. She couldn't find a reason why but he has this aura that resembles his Brother Shawn. She's not talking about the countenance because the two have a different traits. She's talking about this 'big brother' aura thing. She's only 2 years younger than him, and thought of him like her real big brother.
Thinking of 'big brother' again, made her feel sad and alone. Ten years have passed since her brother Daryl's death and three years since her brother Shawn's death. She misses her big brothers very much. She pulled herself of that trail of thoughts and looked at the street hooligans that she had hired, and continued to say, "Don't stupid things. Your connection isn't that deep as a street gangster as all of you didn't even know the existence of that place."
Of course, she was aware some rules in an underground world. In the past, she hired someone to scare Deneza, the results were obvious, that someone she had hired was sent to the hospital for months. It's pretty amazing that Deneza didn't kill him. And that is the moment when Deneza mentioned these kinds of rules to her before when Deneza met her in the past and asked her to stopped to send someone to scare her since she would never feel scared for someone who did not even aware about the existence of that place. Instead, she would like her to do so if she wants her revenge on her.
Only those people who know nothing of the underground world would only accept the dirty works such as, kidnapping and killing. Because people from the underground have a rule that forbids hiring a hitler to kill someone nor allowed to take a murder job to kill someone who was someone from underground. That's a taboo from the underworld world. Yes, they can kill each other as much as they wanted, but they must never hire a hitler if they want to kill who was someone from the underground, they should be the one to do the deed. And never accept an assassination deed because that can be regarded as downgrading themselves because of money. But this is not always the case for all, some have nevertheless agreed to the assassination for money.
People from the underground didn't lack of money because many of them do illegal doings. Such as drugs, smuggling, prostitution operation, even kidnapping an heir from a wealthy family et cetera.
Hearing what she had said, the hooligans stop their trail of thoughts because they really have no idea about the place they were talking or referring to earlier. And based to the man who showed up earlier, at one glance, he isn't a simple person. Same to the woman who was sleeping peacefully on the table. When these two women were talking earlier, They found out that she killed her brother, which led to her to planned an abduction.
They are now feeling a bit frightened by something they did not know what would happen next but it's already too late for them to back out. They are already here, they already accepted her money.
"No... you got it wrong.. we never plan anything outrageous" Someone said stuttering.
Leilanie squinted her eyes, not believing their words, but she can say that they're scared so she will let them off for planning something they shouldn't have.
She hasn't given them an answer, she's still looking at them, with a calm expression. It's true, she wasn't a bad person, but she can make a cold expression well, though, Deneza can always crack because of what he says that always triggers her.
"W-what are we going to do next?" They asked her, still feeling a little afraid of her. Although the woman that hired them seems harmless, but when she snapped, she never thought about the aftermath, Although she said she never intended to kill the woman they kidnapped, but she never bothered to beat her although the woman had a fever. She was still from someone in an unknown place they never knew.
"None." Leilanie said, her voice was calm. She turns around and walks to the door as she said, "I will leave now. You are all dismissed. I will double the pay of what we agreed upon."
After she said that, she closed the door with a loud bang. Leaning over the door frame, Leilanie has an empty expression on her face before whispering, "Deneza, this will be my last move."
