Bab 30: Golden Box

"Hey!" The bald guy that blocked me from a while ago shouted as he walked like a sumo wrestler towards my direction... grunting in displeasure.

I stopped and didn't move a bit...I was like a statue, my heart almost jumped out of my chest when I heard his voice.

I swallowed the imaginary lump that was stock in my throat as I slowly turned around...my heart was throbbing while I looked into the bald guy moving in a slow motion with furious face.

The other men didn't bother to follow the bald guy. Maybe they are underestimating me mainly because I AM A WOMAN.

I have already anticipated what he would do to me so I prepared myself for the worst but before that...Of course, I would fight for my own life.

"Miss Rayzel! What are you doing here?" Don Philippe confusedly asked.

I heard Scott helplessly sigh as he stood up, his hands now free from the handcuffs. Don Philippe and his men are as amazed as I was when they looked at him, now smirking arrogantly... How did he manage to break free from the handcuffs?

Just when Don Philippe's men were about to attack Scott altogether, the bald guy on the other hand had already reached a meter away from me.

So I took one step backwards as I formed a fist, preparing myself. I gave him a hard punch on the face as soon as he was in my reach.

But to my dismay, that hard blow had only made his head move to the other side, I couldn't see any signs of him being hurt by it. But instead, it made him angrier even more...he was gritting his teeth as he glared at me.

I gave him another punch on his stomach but still he seemed to not be affected at all, this time tilting his head as he cracked his neck, smiling devilishly at me.

'Freak! You are dead!' I scolded myself.

I immediately took another step backwards to stay away from him but he followed me as he laughed devilishly. Until I've reached the dead end.

"You have nowhere to run, Miss!" He said mockingly. And then, without another word, he stepped forward and choked me vigorously.

I wasn't expecting this! I then felt the constriction of my throat, he squeezed my neck harder and harder until I couldn't catch my breath anymore.

It was so painful that I could feel all my blood in my head, that my veins in my neck and head would break out in no time.

And then, I suddenly felt that my feet weren't stepping on the ground any more...he was choking me as he pinned me to the wall slowly lifting me from the ground.

I could feel my tears flow down my cheeks as I starved for air, I held into his hand that was choking my neck and tried to break it with the remaining strength that I have. I kept on whimpering trying to escape from him.

Is this the end of me? Am I going to die?

I should do something, I must survive...I still have so much to do, I need to find my sister's killer.

And just like that, I was as if awakened by the thought of my sister's death, I suddenly got the courage.

I held onto the bald guy's arms as I tried to lift my foot higher and shove my knee into his stomach and to his private which made him unsteady still trying to prevent me from making any move.

His grip on my neck had now loosen a little as his attention was transferred to my foot that is also trying its way to his neck.

I took his distraction as a chance to kick his chin as hard as I could using my other foot, the heel of my stiletto pierced into his skin that made him pull back and release my neck as he grunted in pain. FINALLY!

I was dropped unexpectedly to the ground and as soon as my butt touched the tiled floor I coughed myself out, gasping for air as I touched my stinging neck weakly.

Meanwhile, Scott from the other side of the room was fighting hand in hand with five men altogether, three of them are now kneeling weakly with blood on their faces and on their suits.

I narrowed my eyes when I couldn't see Don Philippe's presence on their side but later I sighed in relief when I saw his body laying on the ground unconscious.

'Poor old man...On the other hand, good for you, perv!' I smirked.

"Scott, behind you!" I shouted impulsively when I saw two men run behind Scott while he was punching one guy in front of him.

But my warning was already late as the two men were already holding each of Scott's arms, twisting it and preventing him from moving.

"Argh!" He grunted.

The strength that Scott possessed isn't enough to break free from the hold of these two beast looking men.

But before he could do another stunt, the man in front of him quickly went in their direction and was about to hit Scott while he was on the disadvantage.

The man smirked imperiously as he punched Scott but he wasn't able to hit him as Scott lifted himself, so he was now carried by the two men… He kicked the man with full force and in an instant, he flew away and slammed into the wall...and went unconscious.

He then swung his body to bring the two men and struck their head and dropped to the ground like a bag of rice.

He was already sweating and panting as he looked into my direction worriedly. I am still half laying into the ground and still weak. But I noticed the bald guy had recovered as he slowly stood up.

Scott on the other hand is walking towards our direction but stops for a moment when he realizes another man is running after him.

Before he could latch onto him, Scott made the first move and turned around and then gave the man a hard uppercut which directly hit his jaw and another follow up punches on the face. Lastly, a deadly kick on the leg...Before the man passed out.

Meanwhile, as the bald guy was trying his best to stand up, I crawled weakly as far as I could get away from him.

"You can't get away from me, la signorina!" I halted as he pulled my hair forcefully.

"Ahhhhh! Fuck! Get off my hair! You awful looking beast!!" I screamed in pain.

I could feel my hair will soon be separated from my scalp as he forcefully pulled my hair and dragged me out somewhere.

Thankfully, Scott was on time to rescue me. He jumped into the man as he gave him multiple punches and kicks...the bald guy is so big that one or two punches wouldn't be enough to knock him down.

When the bald guy was already weak and couldn't make another move, Scott bent down and stretched his one leg as he quickly swayed it over the bald guy's leg causing him to be out of balance and dropped to the ground.

He made a loud thud as soon as he hit the ground.

Scott immediately ran towards me worriedly. "I'm so sorry, love. I was late to help." His voice cracked in worries as he looked at me in the eyes with full concern.

He helped me stand up and held me in my waist when I couldn't stand on my own...my knees are too weak.

"Stop staring at me like that! I look awful!" I exclaimed embarrassed, as I thought to myself, I knew that my make up had completely ruined my hair... God knows how fuzzy my hair is right now.

"Did you get the piece of Cleopatra's heart?" I asked when I remembered our main goal here.

"Yes." He answered confidently and showed me the golden box. It was the box that was stock on the pile of gold.

I frowned as I thought of how he managed to get it...I haven't seen him go near that pile of gold since the fight started, just how?

"We should go now." He said while he stared into my confused face and instead of telling me how he got that box he bent down and unexpectedly carried me in his arms...just like a newlywed.

I startled, "Holy fuck! Put me down Scott, I can walk by myself." I uttered weakly as I kept whining.

He let out a long sigh before he looked down and focused his eyes on me, "Stop it, love. I know you can't, you've suffered too much tonight...just let me, please."

I pressed both my lower and upper lips together and kept my mouth shut as I let out a sigh.
