Chapter 5 - Division of Tasks

With heels as high as seven centimeters, Anna is not free to walk as fast as she wants. But Anna had to keep the shoes so that her movements were not conspicuous in the crowd of the party.

Anna watched the shooter he was aiming for Axel. I don't know who he is but from his movements, Anna knows Axel is their target.

Oh, Anna realized something. The man who was blocking hers at the table earlier must have been in collusion with the criminal, he purposely detained Anna so that the shooter could carry out his duties immediately. But lucky Anna caught the criminal before it was too late.

Axel definitely moves away from the crowd. As if he knew he was being targeted, Axel purposely lures the criminal out of the ballroom, Axel heads to the basement.

The villain continued to follow Axel silently. But Anna also followed the criminal from behind. After leaving the ballroom area, Anna took off her shoes so as not to make a sound when she followed the criminal.

CIT CIT CIT.

Axel's ears could hear the sound of shoe soles rubbing against the floor, indicating that the villain was near.

Axel hid, not because he was afraid but it was a trick. Axel is looking for loopholes and gathering information first to be able to take down the opponent.

As usual, with the help of Anna and Edward to measure time, Axel was able to look for opportunities to weigh the enemy in one fell swoop.

But wait! Where is Edward now? The man was like lost in the earth.

Before the villain could get close to Axel, Anna had better stop him for a while.

Bug!

Anna threw a kick at the shooter from the side. With a strong body defense, it was nothing for a villain like him.

The man did not remain silent, did not see Anna as a woman. After putting away the gun the man attacks Anna mercilessly. Anna was forced to show her strength in front of the man.

The sound of slapping and rubbing between the shoe mats and the floor continued. Anna found it difficult when she had to fight with a long dress that hung to the floor.

Anna gripped the dress she was wearing tightly.

"Sorry I had to spoil this beautiful dress," Anna mumbled before she finally tore off the dangling dress, leaving only a few knee seats left. Anna threw the dress carelessly then she moved forward not giving the bad guy a chance to find Axel so quickly.

From where he was hiding Axel cursed. "Oh, shit! Where is that idiot? Why can't I be reached?" swear Axel to his best friend.

"Hosh-hosh-hosh." Anna was getting tired of being with the man. However, their strength is not balanced considering that Anna is a woman.

Seeing that there was an opening to repulse the opponent, the man aimed his foot to hit Anna's chest with the hard sole of his shoe with great force.

"Ah!" Anna staggered back. He coughed as fresh blood trickled down his throat.

"Anna," Axel whispered from his place.

The villain though Anna was defenseless enough, he was about to attack Anna, finishing it with one punch but he lost quickly. Someone kicked the criminal in the head first so the criminal stumbled to the side.

Axel finally came out of his hiding place.

Bruck!

It wasn't just the shooter who was thumping, a man fell to the floor at the same time. It turned out to be the man who was blocking Anna at the table earlier.

"Sorry, I'm not too late, am I?" Edward came over with his palms clapping together as if he was brushing the dust off of it.

Anna wiped the blood that was coming out of her mouth.

"Don't be too arrogant, pay attention to your opponent, Ed!" Axel shouted.

Even though he had fallen to the ground, the man who had been hit by Edward was still able to stand up. Edward immediately stepped forward to fight again.

Likewise, Axel has been fighting fiercely with his bare hands. Even though he hid a gun under his coat, he didn't intend to use it.

"Do your job, Anna," Axel exclaimed during the fierce battle.

"I understand, Boss." Anna ran away from the four men. She looked for where Axel's car was parked. After that Anna immediately got into the car.

Anna put on shoes that were more likely to do battle if needed, then she checked some of their usual stockpile of weapons.

"Safe," Anna muttered after checking everything and making sure everything was safe.

Anna turned to the screen on the dashboard of the car, she searched, an investigation of the man. At the same time looking for a way that is not reached by the enemy when they escape later.

Dorr! Dorr!

The gun-wielding thug shot his gun into the air as if giving a code. Sure enough, soon several people came to surround Axel and Edward. Edward's opponent, whose strength is not that much, has fallen.

Meanwhile, Axel's breath began to rise and fall because his opponent was quite comparable to him. Edward snuggled closer to Axel.

"Troublesome! They are stubborn!" Edward complained as usual. That's how it is.

"Don't complain, it won't help at all. Just focus on your enemy." Axel said, his breathing had returned to regularity.

Someone came kicking Axel, but before the foot touched Axel, Edward blocked the attack first.

"You don't have to worry about me, Ax. Take care of yourself." Said Edward who had started to move against his enemies who numbered seven in total.

"Tch." Axel hissed. He also followed Edward's movement. He was attacked by five people at once while Edward was only attacked by two others.

'They are after Axel.' Edward hissed inwardly.

"Then I won't linger with you guys," Edward exclaimed and then made a quick attack. His two opponents were overwhelmed. Edward was increasingly unable to contain himself, he did not allow attacking his enemy. This fight is his, he must be the victor.

Dugh Dugh!

With a single jump, Edward swung his leg to kick his two opponents in the head and, done. They are helpless.

Edward clapped his hands satisfied with his work. Edward turned his gaze to those who attacked Axel. Axel is tough enough to survive until this second even though his opponent cannot be underestimated.

Four. There were only four people who attacked Axel, where was the other one?

Didn't have time to think about where that one person had gone. Edward snuggled closer to Axel and helped him repulse the enemies. Edward drew two enemies to chase after him. They each faced two enemies. Axel felt helped by Edward, he would be much easier to paralyze the opponent.

Axel gives two fists and one kick and makes one enemy stagger. Now he only had to take care of one more person. Edward fended off the attacks of two people at once well. He did not accept being touched even if it was only the hem of his shirt, so Edward attacked back.

Edward focuses on one enemy, he will attack one first to make it easier to end his fight with one on one. One enemy who was hiding had surfaced. The shooter again aimed his gun at Axel.

Edward finished off his enemy quickly. When he turned around he found the shooter pulling the trigger in his hand.

Dorr!

The shooter fell. Before the criminal could launch a bullet, Edward shot the man in the head first. The criminal died on the spot.

Edward stepped wide toward the one remaining enemy. Don't think Edward, Axel, and Anna came empty-handed. Events like this are common to them, so they can use it as a precaution.

"Tell me! Who sent you here?" Edward asked gripping the man's chin.

"Will not!" Reject the villain with a loyal spirit.

"You say it or you don't you will die anyway. But if you say it you have a chance to die with honor." Edward said which wasn't just a threat.

"Do what you want to do." The villain said defiantly.

Dorr!

As soon as he finished his sentence at that moment a bullet pierced his brain. Edward shoots the criminal.

Chit!

Anna comes in her car.

"I'm done," Anna exclaimed from behind the wheel. Edward and Axel also got into the car.

"We're leaving this place."

"Ready, Boss."
