Chương 17: Chapter 17: Meeting The Grim Reapers

Dragon Castle Hotel... here it is...

The two golden dragons meeting on the Dragon Castle hotel sign, in front of the building, shines like like a blazing sun. It just baffles me, what would the boss be doing in such a crowded place? It is less likely to be a transaction, since there is a red carpet and a few spotlights at the hotel entrance. There are some cameras too.

If it's a famous person, or a person in the politics... both the Gladiolus and the client are screwed... It is possible to give the job, but it is just too risky...

Catching almost everyone's attention, a revving luxury car stopped exactly at the entrance of the hotel. A beautiful young lady looks stunning on her long, flowy, and sparkly champagne dress. Then, a black-suited man stepped outside from the car and glanced on his sides. I got a good look on his face... and, it is definitely him! The man from ten years ago!

Because of the attractive lady that he is with, all the attention is drawn to her... nice move!

I sighed deeply, and pulled myself together. I took my phone out of my pocket, and dialed a number, "H-Hello? Matilda, you mentioned you know someone working from Dragon Castle? Could you do me a favor and.... Hey, hey, hey! Listen to me first! I need someone to open the backdoor, or a way through the kitchen... I will be careful, I promise!" I should have called her earlier if I knew that I can't get in there easily!

I heard the other line slammed the phone down and put the call to an end! Matilda really knows how to define the word rude through actions. I closed my eyes, wet and pressed my dry lips, while thinking about a plan. I stared at my phone for awhile... How can I sneak inside... Matilda's definitely not going to call me back!

The guards at the entrance are more busy on each of the arriving guests, so I sprinted and sneaked to the side of the building, then all the way to the back. I walked towards the kitchen backdoor and it is locked! I peeked through the windows, and checked... My body is not going to fit, this window is too narrow.

A sudden bright light, and the sound of a truck arriving alerted me. I automatically bended and pretended to tie my shoelaces, while waiting for them to stop and take a step out of the white delivery truck. "Miss, what are you doing here? Are you lost? You shouldn't be he-uhck!"

"I am so sorry...," the delivery man dressed in white dropped unconsciously... I grabbed both of his shoulders and supported his upper body quickly, just in time for his head to not hit the floor. I dragged him to the back of the truck, while glancing everywhere, every second! I swiftly opened the door, lift his heavy body, and dragged him all the way inside of the truck. He is alone, how lucky!

I grabbed the yellow medium sized rope loitered at the side and tied him up. I just hope he won't wake up too soon! I untied his white apron wrapped on his waist, and removed his white cap that is a part of his uniform.

I quickly removed my black leathered jacket, tied my hair, put on the white hat, and wrapped the apron on my waist. I felt the chill crawling on my skin, because of my thin plain white t-shirt and thin black jeans.

I grabbed two random yellow crates at my side, jumped out of the truck, and headed to the door. I took a deep breathe, knocked on the metal door, and kept my head down. The door clicked open, and I saw a man's shoes, "Delivery...." I said through my gritted teeth.

"They sent a girl?" He annoyingly complained. "Hey, sigh, okay! Put those crates inside, I'll get some people to carry the rest."

I nodded, took a glance on the guy's face, and headed inside the kitchen. While paying attention at him ordering the others, I lowkey placed the crate on the floor, slipped pass to the spacious kitchen, removed the hat and tossed it on the ground. I walked through the busy kitchen, and smiled at the people whose eyes are on me. I sprinted while their busy hands are holding knives, pointy metal skewers and other sharp things.

I need to be quicker! At least two people here have a sword diagonally pierced to an angel wings tattoo on their nape. It is the symbol for the Grim Reaper Gang, they are known as the organization who provide security for known organizations or someone powerful. And they do not hesitate to hurt someone! Although, it is bad if they spot me, it is also a good sign, it just means I might be at the right place.

I took a quick, simple, glance and pulled the string of the apron at my back, it slipped and completely dropped off on the white floor as I passed through the kitchen door. It ends to a narrow hallway that leads to, I think, a spacious grand hall.

The classical music they are playing are becoming louder as I take my steps. Servers with their neat white suits are coming towards me. This might be a problem...

I did not make an eye contact, but the last guy's hands grabbed my arm to stop me. "You are not allowed in here, are you a server?"

I am not far from the transparent glass doors, but I doubt they can sense what is happening to this hallway right now. I glanced at the door, thought about the distance between us, and looked at the tall, black haired, man beside me. I shake my head and said, "I am so sorry, this is going to hurt..."

I punched his face to knock him out!

"Crap...," but all he did was face the direction of my punch! He looked at me, and dropped the luxurious looking serving tray to the floor, and grabbed my neck!

Instinctively, my hands desperately grabbed his hands to let go of me, but he is unexpectedly stronger than what I thought! Ugh! Why do I meet difficult guys when I am hurt! I gritted my teeth and put all my weight as if I am falling down on my back! I raised both my legs to the air and kicked him in his stomach!

I gasped for air, breathed rapidly, and gulped! My back hurts after my body hit the hard, red, carpeted floor. I stood up quickly while he crack his knuckles and jabs closely at the side of my face! That was too close!

I kicked his stomach again, but stronger! He kicked me back! I leaned, and dodged, but he still threw some punches and it hurts like bumping myself onto the edge of a table! "That hurts, you!" I threw a hard punch on his nose, and kicked him real good on the chest!

I catch my breathe, while he dizzily dropped on his bum on the floor. "That's a loud thud...," he is so tall. I hope there's no mo- Son of a... sigh!

"Hey! Who are you!" I glanced at the kitchen door and four to six men are running towards me. I moved my legs to run but something is restricting my left foot. Tall guy is grabbing my ankle, so I lightly kicked him in the face that made him lie on his side! Crap, everyone's grabbing my ankle! And more CRAP! He have a sword pierced in an angel wings tattoo on his nape! I have to run!

Just a little more, I am close to the... door. Shhhhht! More men are coming from the opposite end, and I am going to get crushed here at the center! Another guy, pulled a red curtain to block the view through the transparent glass door. Not a great view here in this narrow hallway, I agree!

"You are dead!" One of them yelled as he runs towards me with a ready jabbing fist!

"Yeah... I am!"
