' Using 80% of your strength can kill them, so use about half of your strength to knock them out. It seems like Aunt Wendy is really underestimating her opponent.' System Jade says with disdain.
' How do I use half of my strength?' Jade asked, she could already imagine system Jade's frown.
' How I wish I could switch places with you?' System Jade says sighing.
The next moment.
' Hey! I didn't ask to return to the virtual library?' Jade complained.
Silence..
' Jade I think we switched places.' System Jade as she looked at the forest that she normally saw through the big screen.
' Over there!' She heard the voice of one of those men. A bloodthirsty aura emanated from her, she had been so focused on being a good example for Ruby since her mother passed away, she hadn't gotten a chance to dish out her greivances. Just as the tension in the air was getting thick, she heard a voice in her head.
' Wow! I can hear your thoughts. Wait doesn't that mean you could too? *gasp* You invaded my privacy.' Jade says.
' You weren't so talkative a while ago.' System Jade says.
' I was in danger then but now when the boss has stepped in, I have nothing to fear.' Jade replied happily.
System Jade started attacking the men. Swiftly delivering punches and throwing them aside. Then they all took out their weapons when they realised they weren't dealing with an ordinary girl.
' Whoa! A real life action scene. Camera, Ready, and ..... Action!!!' Jade says.
' Why are you so relaxed?' System Jade asks.
' Because I know that even with weapons they are piece of cake for you, besides the big screen makes it look like I'm watching a movie. I'll rate it later. ' Jade replies.
' Oh how I wish you were here as the main character of this "movie" and I will be the audience.: System Jade says.
' Aaaaa! What have you done? Change it back.' Jade says. She was back in her body.
' Ok. I wish we could switch places.' System Jade says.
..... Nothing happened.
' I wish I was there and you were here.' System Jade says.
.....,.. Nothing.
' Jade, I'm afraid you have to fight them yourself. I will just stay here and watch this "movie" and rate it later.' System Jade replied
Jade cried without tears.
She became serious when she saw one of the men coming closer looking at her lecherously. She quickly turned around and kicked him in the knee while grabbing his gun.
' How did I do that?' Jade asked.
' I have great reflexes.' System Jade replied.
' Wow. You are so cool!' Jade says.
She launched an attack at another person trying to get used to the whole martial arts concept and soon got the hang of it and knocked out all of them.
She then dragged them to a a surrounded area and left them.
' I need to ask them questions. How do i wake them up?' Jade asks.
' Press your finger had below his nose and on his earlobe.' System Jade replied.
' Eww! Disgusting!' Jade says as she takes a knife and cut off two pieces of fabric from their clothes to wrap around her hand. She pressed hard on the accounts of one of them and he woke up.
She immediately put a pill on his mouth.
It was actually a supplement pill. Dur to her waste syndrome she had to complement her diet with supplements.
' What did you feed me?' The man asked looking at her as if she was a monster.
' That? It's just this medicine that vengeful ancient wives gave to promiscuous husbands who ill treat them. The surprising thing about this drug is that it starts it work without showing effect after 1 week you will feel intense pain in your manhood and then you'll have no choice to become a eunuch if you don't want your whole body paralysed.
As for the antidote, no doctor knows about this drug except the royal doctor and the King family doctor. I'm curious to know if the royal family will lend their doctor to a criminal or if my great grandfather father will personally treat the criminal who wanted to harm his beloved child.' Jade says smiling mischievously as kept unwrapping chocolates to eat.
The man's face froze. This was the famously doted great granddaughter of the King family. Not only had he offended a bigshot but he might also lose his pride as man.
' Ancestor, have mercy. I was greedy for money. I will confess to anything, please spare me.' The man pleaded.
' This man isn't very professional. His services must be very cheap. Aunt Wendy couldn't have cut cost could she?' System Jade says.
' How much did Wendy Thompson pay you?' Jade ask.
' Who's Wendy Thompson? I don't know any Wendy Thompson.' The man says.
Jade punches his face.
' Ancestor, I swear I do not know any Wendy Thompson. I was hired by a Miss Ruby Thompson'
The man says fearfully.
The chocolate bar in Jade's hand dropped to the floor and she felt a wave of sadness wash through her heart.
' What did you say? You better not lie to me. Tell me the truth.
' I'm telling the truth, she contacted us on the dark web and paid us 300000 Ivros to.... To.. **** you and take videos and then we should blackmail you with it and take money from you and then we should release the video on the internet.' The man says his voice growing weaker as he spoke.
Jade felt as if her heart was being squashed. She knew that this what System Jade was feeling.
' Ancestor, if you want I can teach that girl a lesson for you. Pay her back with her own coin.' The man says.
He wouldn't spare that girl. Not only did she bargain their price from 600k to 300m, she lied and said the target was easy to fool and bully. Even if he had been successful today, The King family would have never let him off.
Jade felt panic when he said that.
'No! You will do no such thing. Take the money she paid you as compensation and leave her alone.' Jade says as she turned to leave.
' Ancestor what about the antidote.' The man called out desperately.
Jade casually threw a pill from her pocket to him oblivious to the fact that another one fell out.
She walked quickly to her tent. She was feeling angry and sad, bad and disappointed, unhappy and heartbroken.
She knew that there was a conflict between her feelings and system Jade's.
She was feeling angry at Ruby. What female lead? She was a female witch! System Jade made a lot of sacrifices for her and this was how Ruby repaid her.
She felt bad for System Jade. Despite her cold exterior, she was caring on the inside. She felt what JT felt when the man confessed Ruby's name.
Jade also felt unhappy. Why did someone like Ruby get a good sister like System Jade who just doted on her steadily and didn't expect anything in return? If only she had System Jade Thompson as her sister.
' Enter virtual library.' Jade says.
She saw System Jade standing facing the wall. Her back profile looked very lonely.
' Jade.' Jade Thompson called out to System Jade.
System Jade turned round to reveal her reddened eyes and clenched fists.
Jade put her arms around System Jade and hugged her. The two remained like that and Jade felt a drop of liquid down her clothes. She could feel more drop on her clothes. System Jade was suffering from the pain of betrayal.
' When she colluded with Aunt Wendy to lock me up in that tank, I thought to myself that perhaps she didn't mean it. She probably was just being naughty. When she would join others to laugh behind my back, I thought to myself that she was forced to do it so she could fit in.
When she stole my essay and passed it on as her own, I thought we are sisters what's mine is hers. Then why? Why would she hate me so much would stoop so low to destroy me?
*************
Earlier,
When Jade Thompson walked away, a figure jumped down from a tree nearby and splashed water on all the unconscious men.
The man from earlier who had just heaved a sigh of relief nearly died from fright.
' Who are you?' He says.
The other men are also awake looking around warily.
The figure silently tossed them a badge.
The man who confessed earlier was also the leader and immediately he saw the badge, his face turned pale.
' Boss K. You.. You are here.' The man says stuttering.
' What is your rank on the dark web.' The figure asked.
' 1.. 191.' The leader replied.
In the dark web they were 200 hundred registered hired killers according to their capability. K was number 1 and the leader felt so unlucky.
' An ordinary thug dares to have designs on my person.' K says.
' I had no idea if not I wouldn't have dared.' The leader cursed several times in his heart. Tha d*med Ruby Thompson. How was this target easy to bully?
She was physically strong, has potent poisons, the backing of the King family and even Boss K was charmed by her. If he got out of here alive, he would teach that woman a bitter lesson.
' Then I have an assignment for you. Whatever she wanted you to do to Jade Thompson. Do the exact thing to her. And I'll send you the account details she's to make payment in. You have till tomorrow evening to complete the task.' K says.
' Yes Boss K. Let's go boys.' The leader says and literally took to his heels closely followed by his minions.
K picked up his badge and spotted a white pill on the floor. He inhaled it and smiled. Poison indeed.
He stepped out of the shadows revealing a handsome face.
