She tied the rope to her waist, and threw the remaining which has the Spike on it all the way to the Window of the Sixth floor.
And that is where the tomb raiders are hiding.
Seeing that it has hung on tightly, she held unto it and climbed all the way to the Sixth floor, Jumping in directly through the window.
The people in the room noticed the arrival of a third party and immediately pointed their guns at her.
Scarlett stood straight and walked towards them calmly.
“The Antique. I was sent by your Master” She said directly without mincing words with the four men in the room.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
“How are we sure that he sent you?” They still pointed the gun at her.
“The people sent by the government are down there and are making their way to this place.
Hand it over now and find a chance to escape or you will either die in my hands or in their hands” She stated plainly and Coldly.
“He told you to kill us?” They didn’t seems to believe that they person that they’ve worked for for so long would suddenly make such a decision.
“That is only if you don’t cooperate with me. Hand over the Antique and let’s get out of here” She Reminded them again and this time they seemed to know how dangerous the whole situation is and threw the bag where the Antique has been placed to her.
Scarlett caught the bag and opened it.
“Seen and scanned! It’s the Original” Lisa’s voice sounded in her ear.
“Now Sweetie get out of there, The special team are only a few steps away from the room” Lisa Reminded her anxiously.
Scarlett walked over to the four men and took every things that looked like a means of communication, Including Their Phones, Wristwatch and every electronic devices.
In this way, even if she doesn’t kill them they won’t be able to implicate their clients.
“Let’s Jump!” She pointed at the window and told them their method of escape Plainly.
“No! That is obviously jumping to our death” They yelled.
“Why are they so stupid!” Lisa felt really angry at their reaction.
“You won’t die!” Scarlett assured him and got ready to tie the thick rope to them but they all moved back.
She paused and glanced at them coldly.
“Good!” She pulled out a gun and pointed it to their face but the sound of the door breaking made them realize how urgent the situation is.
“Go!” She urged them and took out all the spikes she had in her bag and tied several of them to the window, throwing it all the way down.
“Hold it tight and you won’t fall” She said confidently.
As if knowing that this was their only way of leaving, They held on to the Several ropes with trembling hands and made their way down.
“Scarlett leave that place now!” Lisa yelled as she saw the door was almost half broken
Just as the door broke completely the upcoming person Shot at her without hesitation.
Scarlett was About to dodge when another gunshot came, this time it hit her and penetrated deep into her arm.
“Ahh!” She exclaimed slightly but the next moment she jumped and hid at the window without going down.
From where she was hiding she saw the man in a military uniform and a masked face looking out of the window.
She held her breathe while using her injured arm to stabilize herself, ignoring the pain that was shooting all the way into her body.
“Scarlett are you ok? Omg! The Tomb Raiders have been ambushed and caught by The Special Team!” Lisa exclaimed which made Scarlett to almost lose balance.
“What?!”
The Noise at the window once again attracted the person that was searching the room.
He came again and looked down, this time pointing his gun towards her direction.
Both Lisa who was in the car and Scarlett who was at the scene held their breathe and didn’t dare to move.
“General! They tomb raiders has been Caught!” A voice that both party heard sounded in the walkie talkie as The other person retreated.
His footsteps could be heard fading out of the room.
Confirming that he has left, Scarlett climbed out with difficult and clutched her arm that was bleeding seriously.
She sat at a place breathing heavily with gritted teeth.
“Babe are you ok?” Lisa asked her.
“Yes” She muttered trying to sound as perfect as she can.
She took out the first aid kit from her bag preparing to treat herself.
First, she placed a piece of clothes in her mouth so she can bite on it and prevent her from screaming out.
She took out the scalpel and skillfully pulled out the bullet that shot her while biting down on the cloth on her mouth
“You were shot?!” Lisa yelled.
“Shut up!” Scarlett muttered under her breathe as she treated the wound and slowly bandaged it.
After she was sure that everything was perfect, she packed back the things into her backpack and once again looked at the Antique that caused her to be injured.
“They’ve left, I’m waiting at the back side” Lisa spoke gently to her.
Scarlett stood up and first of all retrieved all her spikes and rope, before she finally climbed down.
Within ten minutes she returned to the car and closed the door.
“Babe, How is your hand is the injury serious?” Lisa asked her.
“It’s fine” Scarlett muttered as she changed out of her uniform and changed into the dress that she prepared for the birthday party.
“Are you still going for this party?” Lisa asked worried.
“I promised him that I will be there” Scarlett Muttered causing Lisa to sigh.
Seeing that there was no way to change her mind, she could only let her do what she wants and all she could do is to drive her to the Location and then help her with her make-up.
“Perfect!” Lisa held the brush and admired her work of art.
“This is the second time I’m helping you with your makeup today so you owe me” She reminded Scarlett who just nodded and stepped out of the car and walked towards the club that their loud music could be heard.
She got to the Entrance and saw the person she came to his birthday party right at the door waiting for her.
“Scarlett I didn’t expect you to come” Ryan went over to her and made to her hug her but she moved out of the way not letting him touch.
The next moment was awkward, but for Ryan who has always experienced this only smiled slightly and led her in.
He has always known that even though she is his fiancee, she will not trust him just like the way she trusts Lisa.
This is something that can not be changed so easily.
He took her to the place where the party was going on.
“Don’t be so rigid and feel at ease” He said to her as Scarlett just nodded and found a place not so close to the others and sat.
Since she was little, she has only been taught on how to fight, kill, and complete every mission successfully but that word socializing has never been in her dictionary.
But why is she here today?
Not because she wanted to come but to at least fulfill the promise that she made to him.
“Miss your Wine” The Waitress came to her with a tray.
“I didn’t_” She tried to speak but saw Ryan her Fiance raising a glass of wine at her
Realizing that it came from him, she took the glass of wine and drank it down without suspecting much.
Not long after she drank the wine, Scarlett felt her head was heavy.
She shook her head several times trying to ignore the dizziness but it proved abortive.
The Next Moment she stood up and tried to make her way to the rest room but Ryan suddenly stood on her way.
“Are you ok?” He asked her with a look of concern.
“I’m fine” Scarlett nodded and made to walk past him.
“I will take you over, you seem drunk” He held her hand and this time Scarlett didn’t refuse as she felt too tired to react to his touch.
He held her hand and led her slowly
