Chapter 18 - A Good Runner

"Will they kidnap me?" She said in her mind for the possibility. If they are so adept at concealing their intent or presence. So, they are someone from the underworld because ordinary people like the ones who abducted her wouldn't be so hard to detect. Only because of her fever did she unknowingly lower her guard.

That's only meant for one thing. These people aren't sent by Leilanie.

"Could it be, they're after my life?" she told herself before her face got darker. Such a possibility may be true or false. But apart from Leilanie, she didn't know who else wanted to take her life, but of course, she was sure that somebody would want to take her life. They have so many enemies of the underworld who would like their lives but could not make any movement outside the underworld. But they may investigate to find out more about her. Her identity outside of the underworld. She shook her head to dismis that thought. She trusted her brother Elijah's abilities to remove all evidence that they were in fact someone from the underworld. Her real identity as Kana Akagi is very clean. Although she sometimes crossed the line injuring innocent people, she still hasn't killed anybody out there. She was sure the guard she beat at the hospital wouldn't die even if she didn't hold back. He was in the hospital after all, the doctors, the equipment are here to save his life in time. From the point of view of others, she resembled a teenager who was at the stage of rebellion.

Although she's 21 this year already, she has a baby face that would have thought she was a high school student. Deneza's name was known only to people who were quite closed to her. They just call her Deneza privately. When she was in hell, they called her by her nickname, Nine. It's like an alias. All these people who were connected in the underworld have their nickname or code name to use to avoid knowing their true identity outside the underworld.

If they really come from the underworld and probe her true identity, that's risky. They should have been aware of certain rules according to which if you have a problem with someone from the underworld, you must send them an invitation to a death battle at Underground Colloseum. Doing that kind of shit is against the rules and everybody knew the consequences of making a move outside if both sides are someone from the underworld. But of course, even if there is a rule about that, if you have a serious grudge against that person, are you even going to think about it? Of course not! The only thing you're going to think about is how to kill them! And think about the consequences when you're done.

Deneza smiled because she couldn't care less. She'll just have to kill those two rats and then do an investigation to find out who was behind them, and then destroy that master mind's territory.

She looked at the one who was still video recording her as she smiled sweetly. She has no reason to panic, even if they have guns, they will not make trouble in public.

"Oy, I said stop recording me." Deneza said as her face keeps twitching. Why do these people like to take photos or videos if they find anything interesting? She truly cannot comprehend them.

"Mademoiselle, are you an actress?" The man who always held his hand, still video recording her, asked her with eagerness.

"Tell us what movie you were shooting!"

"Give us some spoiler! Is it a horror film about a wandering white lady?"

She only shrugged her shoulders to dismiss their presence on her and move away. She has no time to deal with these innocent people as there are two rats who was more interesting that can entertain her more.

She'll have to get out of their sight first to know more about them. She wants to find out how capable they are. The higher it is, the better they can entertain her.

She smiled as she felt she was getting goosebumps about what was going to happen next. She walks as if she didn't notice anything while looking in front of her.

She was unfamiliar with the place because she had never been here. In that country, the city she knew best was K City because there was the place where she lived and the next one would be S City. Since S City was where the underworld located.

You should know that S City has been proclaimed as the richest land in Country X. This is because most of the bigger businesses were there. It was also acknowledged to be crime-free. It's peaceful and you'll never feel safe until you live there. But who would have known that behind this calm and peaceful environment, there is a dark side unknown by others? That the world not known to them is in that place?

Anyway, each country has its own underworld, and the city that was claimed to be the richest and free crime was the place where the underworld was located. But like business, these underworld places outside the empire are only a tip of iceberg. The main location or should we call as headquarters for the underworld were located in the Central Empire. That's why her brothers and sisters went there to settle down and build their reputation and connection within that place, either underground or in public.

Northern Empire, Eastern Empire, Western Empire, Southern Empire were the sub-empire of the Central Empire, whereas the Central Empire was the main empire.

A place like Country X, Country P or so on are like a province outside the land of which has the name "empire".

Now, let's go back to the main point. She was advancing as she looked forward. She'll just have to make a run to see how high their capabilities are in getting away from them. Even if there was a wall ahead of her, she can easily find a way out.

It may not look like it, but she was a good runner.
