Chapter 145: The Black Widow's Trap
"That silk carpet is worth hundreds of millions, Raka, but I think your vomit just drove its value way down," Bianca's cold voice cut through the silence from behind a black velvet curtain.Raka wiped his mouth roughly with the back of his wet hand, fighting the intense nausea churning in his stomach after seeing the detective's severed head inside the glass jar. His unsteady legs tried to quickly back away toward the wooden double doors of the study, but all he heard was the heavy clank of iron as Darma's guards bolted the door shut from the outside. Around him, the sweet scent of jasmine perfume that had filled the room now seemed to morph into the sickening smell of a corpse, suffocating him."You're a psychopath, Bianca. Keeping a severed human head inside your own master bedroom," Raka hissed, his jaw clenching with anger."It's just a little trophy, Honey. Darma kept it there as leverage so I wouldn't betray him," Bianca said, taking a graceful step forward."And now you're trap
Chapter 144: Soul Auction
"Darma saw me, Elena! I have to shed this tuxedo and change my cover right now, before his guards surround the back hallway!" Raka whispered in a tense, hoarse voice, ripping open his shirt buttons.Raka moved in a panic inside the dark, stuffy staff locker room, shedding his expensive wool suit, which was now covered in fine dust. With fingers damp from cold sweat, he grabbed a white catering waiter shirt hanging on the wall of a rusty metal locker. He gasped for air, fighting the agonizing pain in his left abdomen, which was bound tightly by a medical corset, struggling hard against the physical limits of his body."Good, now take that tray of empty glasses out. I will distract Bianca at the VIP table in the main lobby," Elena replied through his earpiece."Okay, but are you safe there? Bianca is a tigress who won't hesitate to tear her prey apart," Raka asked anxiously."Don't worry, Honey. Your beautiful lawyer is way more cunning than any hungry lion in this auction lobby," Elena
Chapter 143: Clandestine Operation
"You two are seriously out of your minds! Every cop in Jakarta has shoot-on-sight orders for Raka, and you guys just walk right back into the lion's den!" Sena shrieked in a panic inside Leo's dimly lit garage.Sneaking back onto the Jakarta mainland was an exhausting ordeal, navigating the motorboat through muddy mangrove swamps on the north coast before being picked up by Leo's gray van, which had fake license plates. Leo's dusty, run-down garage was once again their makeshift safehouse, smelling of gasoline and dry disinfectant. Raka sat slumped against a stack of old tires, fighting the agonizing pain in his left abdomen from the gunshot wound."Take it easy, Sena. That high-pitched voice of yours is honestly way more terrifying than the barrels of the corrupt cops' guns out there," Raka joked, trying to lighten the mood."He's joking just so he doesn't pass out, Sena. His stitches are in bad shape, but his stubborn head is still holding up," replied Leo, who stood there leaning o
Chapter 142: Stitches Without Anesthesia
"Raka! Open your eyes! Don't you dare close your eyes right now, Raka!" Elena shouted, her hoarse voice trembling with panic over the roar of the open sea.The small motorboat they were in tossed violently, drifting aimlessly in the pitch-black open ocean without anyone at the wheel. Elena held Raka's limp body tight against the floor of the cramped cabin, pressing down on the gunshot wound on his left side with a torn piece of her own white shirt. Warm blood kept seeping out, soaking through the cloth she held, while the freezing night sea storm swept inside, whistling through the cabin vents and bringing a heavy, metallic smell of blood."I'm not sleeping, Elena. I'm just enjoying the view of your beautiful, panicked face from this close," Raka mumbled weakly."Don't joke around, you idiot! You're losing too much blood. I need to get this bullet out right now, or you're not going to make it!" Elena yelled, frustrated."Luckily, the bullet just lodged in my side muscle, it didn't pie
Chapter 141: Bullet Dance At The Port
"Shoot under the pier! He fell in the water, don't let the bastard get back up!" a hoarse voice shouted from right above Raka, followed by the whiz of bullets slicing through the water near him.The freezing, stinging saltwater immediately jolted Raka's survival instincts back to life, instincts that had momentarily faded after the heavy impact of the collapsing containers. He was forced to let himself sink a few yards below the surface of the wet pier to dodge the hail of live ammunition fired by Darma's men. With his chest tightening as he held his breath, his hand kept a vice-like grip on the wet iron handle of Haris's revolver beneath his black coat."I can't die like a dog in this filthy water before I rescue Elena," Raka thought, pulling himself up along the slick wooden pilings of the pier."Check the cargo barge area now! The woman has to be hiding behind that stack of containers!" one of the hitmen shouted from above."Hold on, I need to clear the saltwater out of this barrel
Chapter 140: The Lawyer's Confession
"Don't take another step, Elena! Put your hands up right now!" Raka shouted, his hoarse voice nearly drowned out by the downpour at the old port.Heavy rain poured over the cracked asphalt of the port, kicking up cold splashes of salty seawater that stung his face. Elena stood shivering under a flickering street lamp, her drenched body looking incredibly fragile in the middle of the storm. Haris's revolver felt cold and heavy in Raka's grip, ready to fire at any second if the woman in front of him made a suspicious move."Raka, please lower your gun. I didn't come here to trap you," Elena whispered, looking at him with eyes wet from the rain."How can I trust you after being betrayed over and over by Artemis people? Tell me the truth, Elena!" Raka barked."Darma is holding my brother hostage, Raka. He forced me to facilitate Bianca's insurance scheme," Elena confessed, defeated.Elena slowly reached out her right hand, which was trembling violently in the freezing, wind-driven rain of
