Chapter 948: Two down, one last to go.
"This is... I never thought I’d be this scary."
Hera almost choked on her own words as she kept her eyes fixed on Heaven. Heaven was truly different, almost admirable, but mostly scary. It wasn’t like she didn’t know that, considering she almost lost her mind when she first saw the memories of the original Hera.
Those memories were haunting. Perhaps the only reason the new Hera could live through all of those memories was because of the perspective of those memories. From the original Hera’s perspective, those memories weren’t as haunting nor they were as scary.
But now that the new Hera was watching Heaven, she couldn’t exactly describe what this felt like.
Meanwhile, Dragon glanced at Hera. He heard a part of what she said. Even so, he didn’t have the time to process or analyze things. He set his eyes back to the driver’s seat, and then at the windshield.
Heaven shot down the two men who were firing at them initially. Now, those men were simply hanging over the window, dead.
’Crazy,’ he thought, watching Heaven sit back down. ’That sword...’
While Heaven pulled out the sword and placed it to her side to manually drive the car, Dragon kept his eyes on the end of the sword handle peeking out from between the door and the seat. He had noticed it earlier, but ignored it. But now that he became aware of it, he remembered this sword.
It was one of the decorations he had in his house. He used it as a decoration, but he knew it was real. He got it from an auction and bought it for a high price, after all.
’If I could get my hands on it, then...’Dragon cautiously glanced at the driver’s seat, only for his breath to hitch when he saw Heaven staring at him from the rearview mirror. He could only see half of her face, but he didn’t need to see her entire face to know she was... smirking.
’How...?’he wondered, clasping the handle tighter as his heart thudded against his chest. ’How did she see through me when she should be busy getting rid of those guys?’
Heaven was a mystery to him.
Dragon was forced to look away, getting rid of his plan to snatch that sword to get the upper hand in this situation. Even though Heaven seemingly had her focus on their other enemies, it felt like she had eyes on the back of her head and was watching him every second.
’Damn it!’he mentally harrumphed, glancing at the driver’s seat just to see the car moving closer to the car ahead of them. ’If I don’t find a way to get out of here, she will surely kill me.’
[You’d be last.]
One would think that the warning she gave him was leniency. And that knowing he would be last would give him plenty of time. It was foolish to believe that. Sometimes, it was better to die first than the last. Why? Being last would make them watch everyone else die and would raise questions about how they would die when their turn comes.
It was more psychological.
If Dragon had to watch how Heaven would end everyone else before him, it would surely kill his spirit. Even so, Dragon didn’t want to die. He didn’t wish for it. Thus, even after seeing everything unfold right before his eyes, his determination to escape grew stronger.
What a strange turn of events, huh?
Just moments ago, Dragons was the captor. But now, he was held prisoner, thinking of ways to get rid of Heaven’s clutches.
Another deafening screech echoed in everyone’s ears before a loud thud followed. Both Hera’s and Dragon’s thoughts halted as they leaned forward by force and then pulled back. When they reopened their eyes, they caught Heaven crashing the side of their car to the side of the other vehicle’s rear. She stomped on the pedal to add more force until the car ahead of them was forced to spin off the road.
"One down, two to go," Heaven remarked, glancing at the clock on the car’s screen to remind herself how much longer for Joker to finish his preparation.
Meanwhile, from the first car, the driver and Romnick glanced at the side mirror. They only saw one of their escorts drive off the road, spinning and crashing into a post.
"Shit!" the driver cursed through his gritted teeth. He glanced at the rearview mirror, only to see another escort car behind them.
Now, there were only three cars on the road. One was Romnick’s, the second behind them was their escort car, and then the last was their enemy.
"Not good." Romnick breathed out, his gut feeling was telling him the escort car behind them would share the same fate as the other one. "Let’s go straight to the headquarters."
"Damn bet I would!"
Romnick turned to the driver, noticing how the latter had been grinding his teeth. This driver was one of their boss’s trusted hitmen. He paired him up with Romnick to have a clean job. But now, this vicious animal had been on the edge since realizing what their enemy was capable of.
’I can’t blame him,’ Romnick told himself, holding on to the handle above the door while his other hand held the rifle securely. ’We didn’t expect someone else to join the party and ruin everything.’
"As long as we last long and enter the city, our chances of survival will rise," he remarked in a fragile attempt to boost their dwindling morale. "We still have our men waiting there. Don’t look back and focus on the... oh, fuck."
"Shit!! Is she a fucking devil!?!"
Romnick trailed off while the driver shouted his lungs out at the sight that was happening behind them. The driver just glanced at the rearview mirror once before he panicked, kicking the pedal in hopes that would give them more speed. Meanwhile, Romnick looked back entirely.
There, on top of the escort car, was a woman. She was on her one knee, hands on the sword handle that was plunged into the roof of the car and straight to the passenger in the front seat.
Uh, oh.
Romnick’s irises dilated while his pupils constricted, reading Heaven’s lips movement.
"You’re next."
