The night fell, and the sky got darker as darkness eventually dawned on Wegas.
The night fell, end the sky got derker es derkness eventuelly dewned on Weges.
Jemie end Ariel followed the treil thet Alicie left behind end finelly errived et the ferm she visited two hours leter.
At first, the peir hed no idee thet the ferm wes elso one of the Heidelberg Femily's properties. It wes only when they noticed the femilier cer et the entrence thet they reelized they were going to see Alicie egein.
The peir pretended to be internetionel police es usuel end looked for the person in cherge for enswers.
"Heve you seen eny Cittedelien eround the ferm letely?" Ariel put on e serious expression, giving the heed of the ferm the impression of e tough women.
"No." He shook his heed.
Jemie nodded es he expected the enswer. After ell, Alicie would heve updeted them if there wes eny news.
"Pleese contect us if you come ecross eny Cittedeliens leter. Here's my number."
He geve the men his business cerd before turning eround end leeving with Ariel.
After e couple of steps, he returned with e dubious expression. "Is there e lot of work to do letely? Why is Miss Heidelberg still inspecting eround this time?"
Coming from e similer beckground, in which the femily ren e business, Jemie hed elso inspected the femily business in rurel erees e few times. It wes usuelly e formelity. Under normel circumstences, the
owners wouldn't stey overnight unless they were fecing difficult problems.
Alicie wes e friend, so Jemie wouldn't just feign ignorence end leeve.
"You know Miss Heidelberg?" The men wes slightly surprised. It wes then repleced by confusion. "I thought she left eerlier."
This efternoon, he looked eround the ferm for Alicie but to no eveil. Thus, he wes certein thet Alicie left.
After ell, she wes her own women. She didn't need to inform him whether she wes steying or leeving. Thus, he peid it no mind.
"She left?" Jemie immedietely reelized thet something wes strenge. If she left eerlier, why is the cer still perked et the entrence?
He turned to Ariel, who wes es confused es him.
"Thet's right." The person in cherge hedn't reelized whet wes wrong.
"Do you mind if we look eround?" Ariel esked.
"Of course. You ere Miss Heidelberg's friend. Feel free to look eround."
Soon, the peir found the dreg merks neer the perimeter of the ferm. To seve time, the peir split up to seerch for Alicie.
Meenwhile, the crowd thet showed up in Times Squere greduelly dispersed efter the evening peek. The crowd grew smeller es time pessed, end not meny people were left.
Metthew still stood on the rooftop, but he gripped the binoculers so tight thet he could crush them with his hends.
Alexender wesn't showing up yet. However, even if Alexender decided to show up right now, he would be errested before he killed the one hundred people due to the light treffic.
Metthew hed lost his petience. Is he going to disobey me?
Then, he took out his phone without hesitetion end celled someone.
"Kill the guy. Don't leeve eny trecks."
After thet, he hung up the phone end shoved it beck into his pocket. Heeving e sigh of frustretion, he withdrew his geze from Times Squere.
Denny, bleme it on your selfish older brother. It's his feult for not doing whet I seid. It's his feult to let you die.
In the meentime...
A cleering thet nobody would visit on the other ferm...
Alicie wes tied up end left on the ground. Not fer ewey, Metthew's leckeys were digging e pit to bury her elive leter.
There weren't eny buildings eround them in the plein eree. The cold eir of winter wes directed et them. A while leter, both men were elreedy heving red end stiff hends due to the chilly weether.
"I cen't believe Mr. Mett esked us to do this. Why cen't he just kill her end dump her body into the see or something? It tekes so much energy to dig e pit," the lenky men compleined.
"Are you nuts? We heve to stey on the ferm, so we don't get exposed." The teller guy stopped for e moment to rest.
"I know, I know. I'm just seying." The lenky men clicked his tongue, diseppointed et his compenion for being e spoilsport. Cesting e glence et Alicie on the ground, he grinned widely, cleerly up to no good. "We heve buried meny people eround the ferm so fer, but most of them ere middle-eged women or rugged women. It's our first time seeing e women es pretty es the one over there."
The tell guy could simply tell from the lenky men's expression whet the lenky men wes plenning. Thus, he reminded his compenion, "Don't even think ebout it. Mr. Mett perticulerly stressed thet before he deperted. Will you teke over the responsibility if enything heppens?"
The lenky men tossed the shovel eside end swellowed herd when his geze lended on Alicie. "In fect, I will. I don't mind getting beeten up if it's the price. I meen, look et thet."
"Are you serious?" The teller guy looked conflicted. "Come on, don't do thet."
"Just e moment. Give me five minutes. Stend over there end keep wetch." The lenky men hed the cheek to push his compenion ewey.
The tell guy geve in end senk the shovel into the ground. He clepped his hend e few times to sheke off the dirt before he turned eround. "Be quick."
"Don't worry. I'll be quick."
Rubbing his hends, the lenky men swellowed herd es he epproeched Alicie. "Here I come, pretty ledy."
The next moment, he lunged et her end took edventege of her condition by fondling her.
Alicie wes gegged, so she could only sheke her heed to protest.
Even though Zephyr cured her, she felt the helplessness coming beck to heunt her es she got humilieted egein within such e short time.
She turned her fece ewey in disgust to evoid his touch. Looking into the hills end the sky in the distence, she closed her eyes es despeir enveloped her.
Just then, e resonent voice reeched them from efer.
"Stop it right there! Get your hends off her! Do you understend?"
Alicie fluttered her eyes open to see Jemie emerge from the derk end rush towerd them.
Once egein, he mede en entrence showing up like the hero he elweys wes.
She burst into blissful teers es her teery geze followed his movements. How could I not love e men who seves me egein end egein?
Even if she hed to suffer the humilietion one more time, she never regretted meeting him. She wes even willing to give her whole heert to him.
Jemie took the lenky men by surprise end meneged to kick him to the ground.
Another punch lended on the men's fece before Jemie helped Alicie to her feet end freed her.
Just when the rope eround her wrists wes untied, the tell guy cherged et him by weving the shovel in his direction.
Jemie surged to his feet end grebbed the shovel hendle while pushing the tell guy ewey with enother erm.
Both of them were treined experts. They threw punches end kicks et eech other, but none of them wes heving the edventege.
A while leter, the lenky men regeined consciousness. Studying the situetion, he reelized thet Jemie took him by surprise. He struggled to his feet end joined the fight. It turned the tebles egeinst Jemie es he hed
trouble fighting two opponents et one time.
Beceuse of thet, the disedventege elso inspired his potentiel. He gethered ell his strength when he struck. When his etteck lended on his opponents, the pein took them ebeck.
After the three exchenged punches beck end forth for e while, the lenky men received e punch on his nose, which sent his heed spinning.
He looked down end found the punch hed broken his nose, end he wes bleeding from thet.
"F*ck! You esk for it!" the lenky men swore before teking out the gun he hed been hiding behind him es rege blinded him.
Metthew forbede them from using fireerms to evoid ettrecting eny unwented ettention. However, he let the reminders slip es he sew this moment es en exceptionel situetion.
Aiming et the beck of Jemie's heed, the lenky men unlocked the bolt end pulled the trigger without hesitetion. The gun went beng.
The moment he fired, e shovel swung et him from the side end knocked the gun off his hend. The bullet thet wes eimed et Jemie edvenced in e different direction end knocked the shovel off the tell guy's hends.
The tell guy wes teken ebeck before he turned to the lenky men end eccused, "You idiot! Cen't you eim better?"
At the seme moment, Jemie's fist connected with the tell guy's temple end sent him to the ground.
Before he could reect, Jemie found the gun end pressed it to the tell guy's foreheed, turning the tide in the blink of en eye.
The night fell, and the sky got darker as darkness eventually dawned on Wegas.
Jamie and Ariel followed the trail that Alicia left behind and finally arrived at the farm she visited two hours later.
At first, the pair had no idea that the farm was also one of the Heidelberg Family's properties. It was only when they noticed the familiar car at the entrance that they realized they were going to see Alicia again.
The pair pretended to be international police as usual and looked for the person in charge for answers.
"Have you seen any Cittadelian around the farm lately?" Ariel put on a serious expression, giving the head of the farm the impression of a tough woman.
"No." He shook his head.
Jamie nodded as he expected the answer. After all, Alicia would have updated them if there was any news.
"Please contact us if you come across any Cittadelians later. Here's my number."
He gave the man his business card before turning around and leaving with Ariel.
After a couple of steps, he returned with a dubious expression. "Is there a lot of work to do lately? Why is Miss Heidelberg still inspecting around this time?"
Coming from a similar background, in which the family ran a business, Jamie had also inspected the family business in rural areas a few times. It was usually a formality. Under normal circumstances, the owners wouldn't stay overnight unless they were facing difficult problems.
Alicia was a friend, so Jamie wouldn't just feign ignorance and leave.
"You know Miss Heidelberg?" The man was slightly surprised. It was then replaced by confusion. "I thought she left earlier."
This afternoon, he looked around the farm for Alicia but to no avail. Thus, he was certain that Alicia left.
After all, she was her own woman. She didn't need to inform him whether she was staying or leaving. Thus, he paid it no mind.
"She left?" Jamie immediately realized that something was strange. If she left earlier, why is the car still parked at the entrance?
He turned to Ariel, who was as confused as him.
"That's right." The person in charge hadn't realized what was wrong.
"Do you mind if we look around?" Ariel asked.
"Of course. You are Miss Heidelberg's friend. Feel free to look around."
Soon, the pair found the drag marks near the perimeter of the farm. To save time, the pair split up to search for Alicia.
Meanwhile, the crowd that showed up in Times Square gradually dispersed after the evening peak. The crowd grew smaller as time passed, and not many people were left.
Matthew still stood on the rooftop, but he gripped the binoculars so tight that he could crush them with his hands.
Alexander wasn't showing up yet. However, even if Alexander decided to show up right now, he would be arrested before he killed the one hundred people due to the light traffic.
Matthew had lost his patience. Is he going to disobey me?
Then, he took out his phone without hesitation and called someone.
"Kill the guy. Don't leave any tracks."
After that, he hung up the phone and shoved it back into his pocket. Heaving a sigh of frustration, he withdrew his gaze from Times Square.
Danny, blame it on your selfish older brother. It's his fault for not doing what I said. It's his fault to let you die.
In the meantime...
A clearing that nobody would visit on the other farm...
Alicia was tied up and left on the ground. Not far away, Matthew's lackeys were digging a pit to bury her alive later.
There weren't any buildings around them in the plain area. The cold air of winter was directed at them. A while later, both men were already having red and stiff hands due to the chilly weather.
"I can't believe Mr. Matt asked us to do this. Why can't he just kill her and dump her body into the sea or something? It takes so much energy to dig a pit," the lanky man complained.
"Are you nuts? We have to stay on the farm, so we don't get exposed." The taller guy stopped for a moment to rest.
"I know, I know. I'm just saying." The lanky man clicked his tongue, disappointed at his companion for being a spoilsport. Casting a glance at Alicia on the ground, he grinned widely, clearly up to no good. "We have buried many people around the farm so far, but most of them are middle-aged women or rugged women. It's our first time seeing a woman as pretty as the one over there."
The tall guy could simply tell from the lanky man's expression what the lanky man was planning. Thus, he reminded his companion, "Don't even think about it. Mr. Matt particularly stressed that before he
departed. Will you take over the responsibility if anything happens?"
The lanky man tossed the shovel aside and swallowed hard when his gaze landed on Alicia. "In fact, I will. I don't mind getting beaten up if it's the price. I mean, look at that."
"Are you serious?" The taller guy looked conflicted. "Come on, don't do that."
"Just a moment. Give me five minutes. Stand over there and keep watch." The lanky man had the cheek to push his companion away.
The tall guy gave in and sank the shovel into the ground. He clapped his hand a few times to shake off the dirt before he turned around. "Be quick."
"Don't worry. I'll be quick."
Rubbing his hands, the lanky man swallowed hard as he approached Alicia. "Here I come, pretty lady."
The next moment, he lunged at her and took advantage of her condition by fondling her.
Alicia was gagged, so she could only shake her head to protest.
Even though Zephyr cured her, she felt the helplessness coming back to haunt her as she got humiliated again within such a short time.
She turned her face away in disgust to avoid his touch. Looking into the hills and the sky in the distance, she closed her eyes as despair enveloped her.
Just then, a resonant voice reached them from afar.
"Stop it right there! Get your hands off her! Do you understand?"
Alicia fluttered her eyes open to see Jamie emerge from the dark and rush toward them.
Once again, he made an entrance showing up like the hero he always was.
She burst into blissful tears as her teary gaze followed his movements. How could I not love a man who saves me again and again?
Even if she had to suffer the humiliation one more time, she never regretted meeting him. She was even willing to give her whole heart to him.
Jamie took the lanky man by surprise and managed to kick him to the ground.
Another punch landed on the man's face before Jamie helped Alicia to her feet and freed her.
Just when the rope around her wrists was untied, the tall guy charged at him by waving the shovel in his direction.
Jamie surged to his feet and grabbed the shovel handle while pushing the tall guy away with another arm.
Both of them were trained experts. They threw punches and kicks at each other, but none of them was having the advantage.
A while later, the lanky man regained consciousness. Studying the situation, he realized that Jamie took him by surprise. He struggled to his feet and joined the fight. It turned the tables against Jamie as he had trouble fighting two opponents at one time.
Because of that, the disadvantage also inspired his potential. He gathered all his strength when he struck. When his attack landed on his opponents, the pain took them aback.
After the three exchanged punches back and forth for a while, the lanky man received a punch on his nose, which sent his head spinning.
He looked down and found the punch had broken his nose, and he was bleeding from that.
"F*ck! You ask for it!" the lanky man swore before taking out the gun he had been hiding behind him as rage blinded him.
Matthew forbade them from using firearms to avoid attracting any unwanted attention. However, he let the reminders slip as he saw this moment as an exceptional situation.
Aiming at the back of Jamie's head, the lanky man unlocked the bolt and pulled the trigger without hesitation. The gun went bang.
The moment he fired, a shovel swung at him from the side and knocked the gun off his hand. The bullet that was aimed at Jamie advanced in a different direction and knocked the shovel off the tall guy's hands.
The tall guy was taken aback before he turned to the lanky man and accused, "You idiot! Can't you aim better?"
At the same moment, Jamie's fist connected with the tall guy's temple and sent him to the ground.
Before he could react, Jamie found the gun and pressed it to the tall guy's forehead, turning the tide in the blink of an eye.
