" Bloody hell.." Kheed was taken aback when he saw the bloodied body of a woman. "What happened?" Lucas immediately approached her and checked the pulse, "She's barely breathing and her pulse has weakened; we need to get her to the hospital."
"Then let's get moving," Luther said as he exited the warehouse. Despite having a lot of questions on their minds, the two acted quickly. They changed the clothes they wore during the operation and burned them so there would be no evidence of what they had done, just as their father had done earlier.
They placed the woman's bloodied body next to Lucas in the car to monitor her condition. "What happened, boss? Who is she, and why is she covered in blood?" Kheed inquired as he drove the car. "I crashed into her," the young man replied, blowing a puff of smoke.
"What?" Kheed exclaimed, staring at the still unconscious woman. "Damn, that explains why she looked that way!"
"How did this happen? You've never made a mistake like this before," Lucas inquired. " I don't know either; she just appears out of nowhere," the young man responded once more. "Looks like the one you crashed into is still a student boss; we're doomed," Kheed said. "Her outfit appears to be from RiverStone University."
"That's the worst part. That school is known for getting wealthy students. Some are from government households and business owners. It's not easy to get through when it leaked out in public. Our operation today can also be affected, and his most hidden secret will be exposed," Lucas said as he threw a cigarette on the road, looking at Luther.
"Then should I just kill her?" this question completely baffled the two young men. "What? Are you insane?" Lucas exclaimed in disbelief. "We vowed not to harm innocent people on this mission, that includes killing one, Luther."
"Didn't you think there might be a family waiting for her? How could you say such things?" Kheed's tone was surprisingly resentful.
"Then what do you think is good?" "There must be something we could do, but let's help her first and clean up this mess you made," Lucas replied, shaking his head and looking at the woman next to him.
"Is she still breathing?" Kheed inquired, recalling a bitter incident because of the girl's condition.
"She is, but if we don't get there in ten minutes, she might die," Lucas replied. " Oh shit!" Kheed exclaimed as he drove the car as fast as he could to the private rest house owned by Lucas's family.
They quickly brought her inside and saw a swarm of people wearing surgical gowns waiting for them. "Oh my god, what happened to her? And who is she?" exclaimed the doctor who had been assigned by Lucas to care for the girl.
"I'll explain later, but please save her," Lucas said, which the doctor and nurses did. They rush to care for the girl brought by the young boss.
"What happened? Is she still alive?" Kheed, who had just entered, inquired. "She's still breathing, but I'm not sure what will happen next, the doctors are doing their job, let's just hope for the best," Lucas replied, looking around. "Where's Luther?"
"He left to avoid the possible exposure of his secret," Kheed replied, shaking his head. "Running away from his shambles."
"No, he did the right thing; it's better that no one sees him here so we can come up with an excuse for what happened without tarnishing his name."
"What are we going to do? Do you have any suggestions?" Kheed asked. Lucas then held up a card that containing the girl's identity. ——
"What the fvck? She's gorgeous!" Kheed exclaimed as he examined the girl's identification card. "Are you sure she's a student? She looks more like an actress!"
"Her name is Samantha Lee Vasque, and she is a fourth-year business administration student at RiverStone University." Luke's introduction, who has already memorized the card's content.
"She's fvcking beautiful, bro. Why didn't we see her in the contest? If only I had seen her, she'd probably have won that title," Kheed responded, still staring at the woman's photo.
"That's what's strange; she's a student from that school and we haven't even seen her," Lucas responded, "but there are two possible answers: one, she's a fraud, and two, she must be just uninterested in that contest."
"Well, she doesn't look like a fraud to me; she looks like my future wife," Kheed said, smiling like a creep.
"We don't know her yet."
" But, we can get to know her, right?"
Lucas no longer argued with his friend, knowing his personality, he never keeps his mouth shut, especially when it comes to women. "In any case, I'd like you to gather more information about her so that we can come up with a solution."
"Everything?"
"Yes, including her social status; we need to confirm whether she is an elite."
"Isn't it obvious that she's a student there?"
"She might not be, and we need to be cautious; just do what I said."
"Roger," Kheed replied, shaking his head as he returned the girl's identification card before obeying his friend's command.
Lucas was left waiting outside the room where the girl was taken care of. He took out his phone and dialed the number of the person who had caused the problem.
"Where are you?"
(Keeping an eye on Lopez) Luther responded.
Lucas let out a weak cuss, "Sorry, I forgot about the mission, I forgot we were in the middle of an operation." He apologize.
(How's the lady?)
"She's still unconscious," he said, sighing, "but the doctors are already doing their best to treat her; we don't know if she'll make it."
There was no answer on the other end of the line. Lucas knew that his friend didn't want this to happen either; it's just that this mission is his top priority because there are so many things at stake. "How is the mission going?"
(Don't worry about it.)
"Are they suspicious of us?"
(No, they're clueless, but I'm not sure with that clan. )
His friend responded, referring to the enigmatic mafia clan. The Asano. The most powerful mafia family and the highest ranking position on X Organization.
This is their first encounter with that clan in their operation, so they have no idea what was going through their heads right now. They don't know if they suspected any of them or if they wanted to retaliate against the people who were in their path, which was them.
(But, I suppose this is a good time to begin introducing ourselves.)
On the other end of the line, Luther stated that Lucas does not need to see to know that his friend is smirking because the group they were discussing is none other than the reason why they entered the world of mafia.
