28. Gangsters Battle
Prince Dylan also followed Adira inside Simon’s house and asked Adira again while he was sitting on the chair.
“Adira, why did you suddenly come back here?” While Adira was walking around the house, he just followed her with his eyes.
“I have to save an important person here.”
“Who’s that person?”
.”Simon.”
“Your father or your sibling?”
She looked at him. “The one who is always with me on the mission.”
“Where is he?”
Adira sat opposite his seat. “He was taken by someone I don’t know yet. This is his house, but I’m late and see he’s not here anymore.”
“Is that why you suddenly came back here?”
Adira nodded while she was looking in the other direction. Dylan stared at her whole face, full of concern. He stood up and was ready to approach her when she looked at him. She stood up and suddenly pushed him with force.
“Why do you-” He was stunned because she had a piece of paper in her hand that she took from where he was sitting before he stood up.
“Come with me,” she said, and she went out, so he just followed her. They walked for a few minutes before coming across a large warehouse that was old and no longer in use.
Adira pushed the big door open, and she and Prince Dylan went inside. They kept walking until they reached a room with a bed and some clothes on the table.
“Who is the owner of this house?”
“Mine.”
He suddenly looked at her, but she was already busy rummaging through her bag. He looked around and wondered why she lived there. He looked at her again because she was taking out her clothes, which were all black.
“Just stay here,” she simply said and left.
A few moments later, Adira returned, wearing the clothes she took from the bag: a shirt on top, tight leggings, and old brown boots. She took the wide leather that was put on her body and placed two pieces of wood on the back, then the gloves and the last one was the thin cover on half of her face.
“What will you do?” he asked.
“Don’t leave here. I just need to go to where Simon is.” She was about to run off when he stopped her by the arm.
She frowned. “Dylan I’m in a hurry, so let go of my arm!”
“I’ll go with you.” and look into her eyes.
“You can’t.” And she tried again to remove his hand from her arm, but she didn’t succeed. “I won’t do anything there.”
She looked angrily into her eyes. “You’re stubborn. If you’re the one who got hurt because of your stubbornness, you should be ready to face your father. Don’t say I didn’t tell you to just wait here. ” She was about to walk again when she said, “Maybe you can defend yourself because right now you are not my priority.” He just nodded and let her go. He was stunned for a moment but followed her also.
When he was outside, he saw her riding a big motorbike. She turned to him. “Hurry up, I’m running out of time!”
He walked closer, but he didn’t know how to get on this motorbike. “How do you ride it?”
Adira closed her eyes. “Step on that tread iron. It’s like you’re just going to ride a horse.”
He followed her order, and when he was okay, he suddenly hugged her waist because he was not prepared for the speed of her motorbike.
He still had his eyes closed, but when he felt the motor stop, he opened his eyes.
It also looks like a warehouse; some parts are dilapidated, and the outside appearance is also old.
“Get down!” the young lady said weakly but with emphasis. He immediately went down.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“Follow me; don’t go far away from me. I’ll put you somewhere where you’ll be safe and no one can see you. I’m sure there are a lot of them inside because if it’s this quiet, they’re planning to do something.”
He was nervous, but not for himself. “Are you sure you will face them alone? What if you can’t? ”
“In the state of my life here, sure or not, I have to face it even if I don’t have a weapon in my hand. This is the life of a gangster, dear prince. There is pure fighting or violence. The only thing left is strength. And if you are a gangster and you are still alive in this situation, then you are lucky. ” She took the two sticks off her back. “We’re going in; don’t make a noise.”
Prince Dylan followed Adira as they slowly entered the broken door. The first things they encountered were piles of garbage and buckets of water. Before they even got to the center, Adira stopped.
“Hide there in the thick wood. No matter what happens, don’t come out until someone you don’t know is still in there. Do you understand?”
He nodded, but she just stared. “If you don’t follow what I said, you will be the only one who returns to your palace. “She left in front of me, but he was stunned by what she said.
Meanwhile, Adira was wondering why it was so quiet inside the old warehouse. She also didn’t notice anything hidden in the other pile of garbage there. But she was surprised when the trash moved and surrounded her. It turned out that the trash that was there were people disguised as trash, so Adira didn’t notice it immediately.
Her body was slowly spinning because there were many people around her now, and she suspected that all of them were the fellow gangsters that she had fought before.
“It’s been a long time, Adira. It’s time for us to get what you have done to us before. ”
She grinned, “All I know is that you are the one who owes the debt. Why are you blaming me?”
The guy was full of anger; he took out a baseball bat. “You’re arrogant. Let’s start by knowing who is the one still standing after. ”
Adira conditioned her body and felt the energy of the people around her because there was a possibility that someone would attack her from behind. When he felt someone running, Adira immediately faced that person and tried to block every attack with his thick wood. Some carry knives, baseball bats, balls, and more. Adira’s two sticks against the various weapons they will use.
She knocked almost everyone down, but suddenly someone called Adira and Simon showed up, and her knee was weak. Some had the opportunity to attack her and hit her with hard objects. Prince Dylan wants to help Adira, but his body doesn’t want to leave its place.
Adira received a strong beating on the cheek, so that the side of her lip was bleeding, and then a hit on her back that made her knees fall.
“We’re going to win now. And maybe we can parade your lifeless body on the road.”
Even though it was hard, she stood up again. “I showed weakness, but that doesn’t mean I will go home defeated.” She turned to the person who spoke and hit his head with her two sticks. They rushed one after the other, so she was more prepared. As much as possible, she forgot Simon’s look because otherwise she would be consumed by pity and her whole body would embrace it, which could not happen because of the number of her opponents.
But Adira didn’t expect that the gangster he knocked down would have another one from outside the warehouse. “They don’t run out. They want to beat me and want my dead body, so I won’t give you the satisfaction you don’t deserve. ” She pressed the button on top of the handle of her two sticks. Now it had more than doubled in size, and sharp spikes came out of the silver wood. “You don’t want to try me? I have no choice but to use the secret of my weapon.”
Adira rushes and hits the people she meets. She no longer cares if the sharp blades of her two planks of wood dig into their bodies. She wasn’t always going to be kind, especially since she had to end the battle and get Simon to the hospital.
She panted as she looked at the lying gangsters on the ground who were suffering from body pain before facing the remaining two people who were not gangsters because they were wearing business suits. One was a few steps away from the person next to Simon, who was unconscious.
She looked at him blankly. “Timothy!”
The one he called Timothy grinned. “Good, and you still know me.”
“Someone like you I will never forget because of your bad attitude.”
He shook his head and spun around Simon, who was lying down. “Learn not to be arrogant, Adira. You must be seeing your partner unconscious and in-” He pointed the gun at Simon. “One shot will take the life of your partner.”
“What do you want to happen?”
Timothy smiled. “It’s simple. Do what you should have done before, and I’ll give you double the amount I offered you before.”
She laughed like crazy and immediately looked at him seriously. “Why don’t you do it.”
“You know why I can’t do what I ordered you to do before?”
“Because, with the image you value in the eyes of others, that is not true.”
Timothy tightened his grip on the gun as he aimed it at her. “You know why, Adira?”
“Why didn’t you order the others? I’m sure if you show them the money, they will immediately follow you, and then your problem is over.”
“Your mission is smooth and leaves no trace. That’s why I chose you.”
She stared into his eyes, seeing the hatred toward her. “My missions are clean, and I don’t want to do something you want.”
“Why?” he shouted. “You’re just another person that wants money and will do anything to survive.”
She looked down at Simon. “Not me, Timothy. I’m the one called the “Queen of All Gangsters,” but I don’t kill people. ”
He smirked. “I can’t let you reject me and not suffer.” He pointed the gun at Simon again.
She threw her two pieces of wood on the floor. “Well, I accept the suffering you will inflict on me with your gun, but not that of my partner.”
Adira’s face was blank as she looked at Timothy. If Adira has a brave face looking at him, Timothy’s tears are slowly rolling down his face.
“I just want my business to be successful without competitors. Isn’t that possible, Adira?”
She sighed. “Not every solution is the same as what you want. Learn to start from nothing rather than taking a life just because of envy.”
Timothy’s tears fell down his cheeks. “I’ve been in the industry long before he came, but why is that? What I wanted to get for a few years, he only got it in one year.” His hand that was holding the gun was also shaking.
“You’re only swallowed by envy, so you do this, but first let yourself think, because if I did what you ordered, I wouldn’t be the only one imprisoned in the cell, but both of us. Everyone starts again from the beginning. Find yourself first. Maybe there you will be able to think right and do good in your company without hurting anyone. ”
He dropped to his knees and dropped the gun. “I’ve been struggling for several years just to develop my company. I’ve invested almost blood and sweat just to make my business known, but why is that?” Timothy closed his eyes, but his tears continued to flow.
She took her two pieces of wood again and returned them to the old, ordinary wood. “Nothing in the world is easy, Timothy. You will suffer and cry a lot before you can achieve the success you want. If you always look out for other people, it means that you prioritize them, not yourself. “
