Chapter 314
Rachel was already informed by Evangeline about the plan of the Shadow Mercenaries to capture the members of the Mercenary Club . Still that information was given to her a bit too late, as she was currently engaged in a game of tag with one of their agents . She and an agent of the Shadow Mercenaries were currently playing tag in a dense forest area .
The agent she was chasing was a man called Samuel who claimed that he was here to bring her to where Alex was . Obviously he was here to bring her in as a hostage to control Alex . So without listening to anymore of his spiel, Rachel was about to charge at Samuel .
Rachel was expecting a fierce battle to happen but for some reason the man called Samuel started to run after she denied his invitation . Rachel could leave him alone and retreat back to where Evangeline was, but based on what Evangeline said her captive doesn"t seem to be willing to talk . Evangeline used every form of torture she knew but the person called Drake simply laughed as the pain intensified .
It was obvious now that no information would be gained from Drake, so Rachel decided she needed to capture the agent in front of her . So here she was chasing the would be kidnapper, which she found really weird . She wanted to listen to the warnings her subconscious was giving her, but she also needed the agent to gain information .
Now that Niel, Kei, and Emily were gone, only she and Evangeline remained . Oliver and Sayaka were off doing their own thing, and they had no idea how contact them . Also it was possible the two of them were captured as well, which gave Rachel even more reason to capture this agent from the Shadow Mercenaries .
Rachel sped up by using RELEASE for a second, but Samuel easily evaded her attempt to catch him . This started to annoy Rachel, as she continued giving chase . After a few more minutes of running through the forest, Samuel finally stopped moving .
When Rachel saw this, she thought that he decided to fight, but then she felt numerous presences within the area . She wanted to retreat but noticed that she was surrounded and one wrong move might spell defeat . She wasn"t worried of dying since it was obvious that the other party wanted to capture her alive .
Rachel stayed in one position and hid behind the trees .
"What an honor, so many members of the renowned Shadow Mercenaries actually came to escort me . " Rachel started talking to distract her opponent as she was now trying to think of a way to escape .
"How about now, are you willing to come with me quietly? Surely with this much people escorting you, you would find it worthy enough of your time . " Samuel spoke to Rachel while signaling the others to tighten their guard on the perimeter .
"It"s not like I can"t come with you, but I was wondering why such a big group from such a renowned organization came to pick me up?" Rachel still hadn"t found a way of retreat so she continued to stall .
"The reason for the special treatment, is because you my lady, are a VIP . Seeing as it is possible that you would become the future wife of the next big boss of the Shadow Mercenaries . "
"Oh, what an honor . Pray tell who is this person that wants me to be his wife? . . . Well it doesn"t really matter who he is, can you please tell him that I already have someone in my heart . "
"Well, that"s a bit disappointing . I thought you and he were already a couple, turns out he wasn"t even in your mind . "
"The way your talking suggests I already know this person, am I right? Still I"m pretty sure I don"t know anyone from the Shadow Mercenaries . Can you tell me his name? If I hear his name I might remember who he is . " Rachel still couldn"t find a way out of this situation, so she continued the conversation .
"His name is Dalvir Greyhound, but you might know him better as Alexander Samarita . " When Rachel heard the answer, she was stupefied . She already kinda figured out that Alex was someone important to the Shadow Mercenaries, she was also expecting Samuel speak of Alex"s name in this conversation . She was already expecting this answer, yet when she heard it with her own two ears, she was still surprised .
"Richter Greyhound was the boss of the Shadow Mercenaries . "
This answer made the most sense, and was within what the members of the Mercenary Club predicted . The Mercenary Club members already figured out that Richter was a person with a high position within a certain organization . Evangeline figured out which organization it was, the only thing they haven"t figured out about Richter was his position in this certain group . Now that Rachel heard the answer she was surprised .
"I see that makes sense . . . Well aren"t you guys lucky, the person in my heart is Alex . "
"Then are you finally willing to come with us?" Samuel thought that Rachel would finally agree to come back with them to HQ . Seeing as she was already cornered, and its not like what they were offering was a bad deal . She was looking for Alex and they would bring her to him, making her finally reunite with the person she so dearly wanted to see .
"No . "
"Alright, you just need to . . . What? Did you just say no?" Samuel asked confused as to wether he heard correctly .
"Yup, I said no . I don"t need to be escorted by you people . So how about we reach a compromise . Just tell me where he is, and I will go on my own . That way, both sides are satisfied . "
Hearing Rachel"s answer, Samuel looked at Hektor"s direction . To Samuel the deal Rachel was proposing wasn"t that bad, as the target would still come to their place . Still he needed to confirm it with Hektor who knew Richter the best among the ten of them .
Hektor who saw Samuel"s questioning gaze, shook his head . When Samuel saw that he sighed and answered Rachel .
"Sorry I cannot allow that . If you won"t come with us quietly, then you leave us no choice but to be a little bit rough with you . "
