Chapter 35: Let Me Deal Him Personally
Scarlett stole Chuck’s car key when she was in the private room.
She was, after all, a genius racer, and speed was her specialty. Because of her eagerness to save her brother, her speed was crazier than ever before. She ran a lot of red lights, and even the traffic police cars were left far behind. All she knew was that Skyler was suffering, and she could not just sit there and wait for Francis to do something about it.
Scarlett pulled over in a dimly lit street and picked up old Jim and two of his subordinates. “The gun?” Scarlett asked.
Jim patted his waist. “It’s right here, baby.” Scarlett held the steering wheel tightly and shot out again.
Jim sat in the passenger seat and asked, “You sure you wanna do this?”
“I can’t let him live any longer. All he does is threaten our lives! He must die this time!” Scarlett’s eyes turned red, and she gnashed her teeth with hatred.
Jim lit a cigarette and took a drag, “I saved Skyler ten years ago. I didn’t expect for him to fall into that bastard’s hands ten years later! Fuck that shit!”
“You know who’s the biggest fucking bastard in all of this? David Morris! We did not enjoy any of his good fortune and power, but we’ve been paying for his sins our whole fucking lives!”
Jim sighed, “I know. But Scarlett, let me finish that asshole off. Don’t do it yourself.”
Scarlett was like a poisonous and prickly rose blossoming in the dark night. She seemed ready to explode.
“Let me deal with him personally. I won’t sleep well for the rest of my life unless I see him die.”
“Scarlett…”
Scarlett slammed the brakes sharply several meters away from the warehouse.
“Give me the gun!”
Jim had no choice. He pulled out the handgun from his jacket and handed it to her. Scarlett and old Jim got out of the car. As they had planned, Jim’s two helpers would deal with the two guards at the front door while Jim and Scarlett would slip into the warehouse using the backdoor.
Francis and his people had not arrived yet. Normal cars had no way to compete with Scarlett’s speed. Scarlett had made up her mind to finish off that man and eliminate Skyler’s nightmare for good.
Jim and Scarlett walked to the back door to find two men on guard there. Scarlett pulled down her collar and arranged her hair.
“Who’s there?” A sound asked. Scarlett moved forward.
“What? A girl?” The man’s voice rose with excitement and desire.
“Fuck. What a treat.” The other man scanned Scarlett from head to toe and was ready to grab her. Scarlett took out a cigarette. She then held on to that man’s shoulder and whispered to his ear in a tempting tone, “Can I borrow a light?”
“Of course, little slut! But how about putting out my fire first?” The man pointed below his belt.
Scarlett smiled and put out her hand to touch him. The man was excited, and his eyes were full of evil sparks. When he was about to touch Scarlett, he felt a sharp pain in his back.
Jim walked out of the shadow and knocked out the other man in a second with a wooden stick. Scarlett had already arrived at the door and opened it gently without a sound. She moved forward slowly with the pistol in her hand. Scarlett approached the spot where Skyler was entangled in a rope on the chair. Hiding in the dark, Scarlett gnashed her teeth with great anger and hatred.
Why was Skyler being tortured? What had he done to deserve this? There were two men keeping guard, one walked around with a gun in his hand, and the other sat on another chair and wiped his hammer. “How about a stroke on your head to smash your fucking brain, huh?!”
The man laughed out loud. Skyler sneered, “In all these years, you couldn’t think of a smarter way to kill me?”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
The man lifted his gun and aimed it at Skyler. That scene trapped Scarlett in a great panic. She made up her mind that she would shoot him if that man dared to take one more action. But the man didn’t pull the trigger.
He put down the gun, lowered his body, and whispered to Skyler, “Then what about I send you to those perverts as a sex slave? Do you think you would like that better?”
The louder he laughed, the greater the anger and pain welled up in Scarlett. A box opposite the two men suddenly fell down, and the man carrying the gun looked around, alert. “Who’s there?”
Within two or three seconds, Scarlett lifted her gun, aimed at the standing man, and shot.
Bang!
The bullet flew right into the man’s chest. He fell down right away. After pushing the box to distract the men, Jim lowered his body and ran to the spot swiftly. When he arrived, he kicked the man, and the gun flew far away, escaping his hands.
Scarlett came out from the dark. She ran to Skyler and quickly untied the ropes around him. Skyler raised his head and was startled to see his sister’s face. Scarlett felt more pained to see Skyler had been assaulted; his face was covered with blood. “Skyler, I’m here. Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
The man who was trampled on by Jim seemed unafraid of death. He stared at Scarlett and smirked, “You think I will let you take him away?” Without hesitation, Scarlett shot him in his thigh right in a second.
“Ah!” The man groaned.
“This is the revenge for what you did to us ten years ago!” Blood gushed out of the man’s leg. He gritted his teeth and looked fiercely at Scarlett, “You are more daring than your brother!”
Scarlett held up Skyler and helped him to his feet. “Can you walk?” asked Scarlett.
“Yes…” Skyler replied.
“Good. Then you go out with Jim first!”
“But… but what about you?” Skyler looked worried.
