Chapter 240
Although her tone sounded reassuring, the goons still couldn’t believe it. She was just a normal citizen whose dad was a policeman. At any time, she could open her mouth and spill out what she knew, although she didn’t know much, it was still risky to leave her the way she was.
But then, if they did anything to her, her father would find out about it and then, an investigation would commence. And they were sure if their real boss were to ever find out about their mistake, they would have their heads rolling on the ground.
“So about the money?” Olivia brought the conversation back. “I want 20% of it,” she added, this time facing Mr. Quinn whose eyes were still red from the pepper spray earlier.
During their journey, he’d been handed over bottled water to wash it off. Although the burn had reduced, it still burned nonetheless.
He glared at Olivia, who was adamant about getting her share of the money like she’d informed him of before helping him.
The collector threw the bag of money back to Mr. Quinn which he caught swiftly. Then he opened it and handed Olivia her share of the money even when he didn’t want to give her. But it was his payment of assuring himself she would keep silent about what she’d seen.
“Well then, I suppose I should find a hotel and stay the night.” Then she turned to face Allison. “Goodbye Allison, I hope they treat you well p>
Allison glared at Olivia, her fiery gaze sending several deadly messages through which made the latter only smile at her.
When they reached the main street, Olivia bid them goodbye before going her own way. Mr Quinn ignored Allison like she was completely a stranger and went about his way.
Allison smiled at his back but didn’t bother to call for him.
In silence, the men dragged Allison to the main location.
However, as they neared, they noticed there was not a single light in the building.
“What happened? Why is everywhere so quiet today?” One of the goons questioned.
“You three go check immediately,” the collector questioned, leaving four men behind.
Two held Allison tightly, ensuring she wouldn’t escape.
“I wonder what happened,” one of the goons holding onto her wondered, his distracted brain unintentionally letting his hand go loose around hers.
“And what’s up with that smoke? Did the hideout get intruded?” The second person holding onto Allison wondered as well.
When Allison finally got her chance, she jabbed the one on her left hard on the chest, and he staggered back before landing on the muddy ground.
Before the goon loosely holding onto her right hand could react, she kicked him between the legs, before hitting a sensitive spot on the nape that made him lose consciousness instantly.
“What the fuck The collector cursed when he saw two of his men lying on the ground. One was unconscious and the other was bleeding from his mouth. “What did you do?!” He questioned.
The guy standing beside the collector immediately rushed to Allison and pulled her hard by the hair, which made her yell in pain.
“You’re starting to annoy me now. Don’t move an inch, else I’ll slit your throat before we even get in there,” the goon ordered, but Allison ignored his orders. Swiftly, she bent low, almost in a squatting position, reached from under her legs, and pulled him down, making him fall.
Without giving him the chance to try to get back up, Allison reached for the nearest rock and hit it hard against his legs, making sure to crush his bones so he wouldn’t be able to chase after her when she escaped.
Although she was hellbent on escaping, she made sure to fight with the right mind.
If she killed a person, now that would be another problem.
The goon screamed while trying to escape from Allison but she continued to crush his legs.
“Don’t move,” the collector suddenly said. Allison heard the clicking sound of a metal. She turned to face the collector, and immediately, she paled. “Or I will shoot,” he finished. “Now, drop the rock and I wanna see your hands up in the air p>
Allison quickly dropped the rock. She’d given it a thought one of them must be with a gun. They were criminals after all.
“I knew you were tough, but I didn’t know you were this tough. But did you have to beat my men up like this He demanded. “You’ve been creating trouble for me today and p>
Before he could complete his sentence, the sound of a fired bullet could be heard in the area.
The collector stared down at his belly where he was bleeding, unable to fathom what had just happened.
Unfortunately for him, before he could turn to find out who’d just shot him, he dropped dead on the ground, revealing his shooter.
Despite being terrified by the fired bullet, the shock on Allison’s face when she saw the person who shot the collector immediately replaced it.
“Allison!!” Kace called out to her, running towards her and immediately enveloping her in a deep, warming up.
Her body instantly went stiff, as her head tried to calculate if Kace had reached her through the speed of light or hearing. She’d not been sure if he would be able to save her, but he still made it.
Now she couldn’t help but wonder how he’d gotten there so quickly.
“I’m so sorry for being late,” he quickly apologized, his arms going tighter around her body as he kept her close.
When he released her, he didn’t waste a second and captured her lips into a passionate kiss, his one hand placed around her waist, and the other at the back of her head.
’We’re not in a relationship!!’ Allison screamed in her head when she felt Kace slip his hot tongue into her mouth, her eyes slowly closing as she tried to push him away from her but she couldn’t bring herself to do so.
