Chapter 106: An option.
Laurent walked back to the lady tied down in the warehouse. He approached her quietly but his presence was striking, oozing with power. His footsteps were massive on the floor, sounding with a dull thud and bouncing off the floor as he pressed forward.“You're digging your own grave.” she screamed, her voice echoing down the warehouse.Laurent stopped, keeping a few distance away from her.“Interesting. At least I have a grave. It'll be an honor for whoever make me fall which is never going to happen but you–” Laurent voice stretched in the silence. “You'll have no grave. I'll make sure of that!" Laurent grabbed her legs and started dragging her out of the the hall, her skin scratching against the rough ground. Her black suit sweeps dirts beneath her.The lady screamed desperately. Her voice echoed like a banshee wail, disturbing the serenity of the vicinity.Her body grazed against the floor, peeling off her skin like a snake undergoing ecdysis. Laurent chest tightened with rage
Chapter 105: Freedom
Laurent's anger levelled, skyrocketing like a seismic wave at the man's deviance and stubbornness.With the surge of anger, he raised his hand sharply to strike the man across his face but his hand froze mid–air when he felt a cold sensation running down his nerve from his neck.A voice followed, shadowed with threat. “Get off him or I'm going to blow your head off!" Laurent at once understood the cold sensation– it was from the barrel of a gun straightened directly to his neck.Laurent was about to react when another voice cut in from behind– more distanced.“Lower your gun, princess." The voice was striking, immediately recognized by Laurent. Clara! He thought surprisingly.Like an animal caught in a trap, the lady in the middle lowered her hand reluctantly.“On the floor. Now!!" Clara barked, her eyes tightly locked on her target.Sigh.The lady dropped his gun and Clara kicked it to a corner.Sensing the apprehension, Laurent turned, his eyes slightly dilated, flashing with sur
Chapter 104: Human traffickers.
Jaguar stared at Laurent, his face expressing surprise, wondering how he got their location. Laurent's appearance was striking– he remembered him as the guy that escaped from Laura Croft's hospital.Jaguar pulled out his gun sharply and turned to his men, looking at them suspiciously, his face twisted with fury.“Who among you fucking rattle us out!!" His voice carried across the room coldly.The guards were in obvious confusion. They exchanged oblivious glances as if their boss had just asked an impossible question.One of the spokes “Boss. No one can betray you here.” One of them said confidently and assuredly.Jaguar growled as he continued looking at the men, observing their behavior but none of them looked suspicious. He shifted his gaze to the guy who talked last as if processing his claim for a consideration. His gaze lingered on him in the quietness which got the guard flustered and curious.“What's the matter boss?” He asked, his voice indifferent and calm because he was su
Chapter 103: Ghost in the warehouse
Hannah was left speechlessly flustered, watching her daughter walk out of the door for a man he has just known for 3 months as falsely stated by her. How would she know the real truth– that her daughter had barely known him for 24 hrs yet what she's going to put her life on the line for the same man– a stranger. It could only be one thing– love backed with sacrifice.The engine of a peagot 208 hummed continuously like a flying bee along a lonely road. The sound echoed to a considerable distance all over the city.The driver of the ride is none other than Laurent. His hands gripped the steering wheel like, turning it effortlessly and taking little shift. His eyes were not focused on the road– his eyes shifted between the tab resting on the sofa which displays the current location of the men and the road.Laurent looks at the side mirror to see on Meanwhile, inside of a dim and lonely warehouse, soft sobs echoed faintly in the sanctum.On the floor of the warehouse were teenagers up
Chapter 102: In love.
The woman nodded frantically and her fold loosened on the pillow slightly. Her intention to further express herself is obvious from her stance.“They all have the tattoos of a snake on their neck..and..” She paused, her eyes dilating slightly as if just recalled something. She stood up from the sofa in a haste while Laurent and Clara exchanged confusing glances shifting their eyes to the woman as she walked into a room and returned with a tab.Laurent took a step closer to her with curiosity gleaming in his eyes.“What are you doing?" He watched the woman as she tapped her finger on the screen hastily and frantically like a hacker at the edge of breaking through a dangerous code.“Here." The woman walked to him with the tab and continued. “My husband was able to pin a tracking device one of them.” She said with a hint of hope in her voice.Laurent stared at the screen, watching a dragging red dot on a line map on it which shows the live location of the men. He nodded, a light smile
Chapter 101: Rifts.
The blind woman stared at Laurent quizzically, her expression shifting between concern and fear though she didn't lower the rifle, pointing it at the door adamantly.Laurent didn't want to linger on much conversation.“I'll be back granny.” He said and walked out while Clara hurried after him because she knew her grandmother was going to protest.And she did, lowering the gun, her face clearly expressing surprise. “Clara, you're—” The words cut in her throat as Clara already slammed the door shut to prevent further questioning.She took a tiring breath.The streetlight glow behind them as they matched forward, casting their shadow on the asphalt.The screeching of tires echoed in the air. The men were driving away.Laurent snapped the stick from Clara and ran after the fading car but he couldn't match the speed of a car. He swung the stick in the air. The wooden weapon whispered, cutting through the light air with a sheer force and crashed into the back windscreen of the vehicle, sha
