Chapter 574 Traitor!!!
Day Sixty-Four...
~~*****~~
[ Back to Country R... ]
Tatsumi's right leg was hit. He started to bleed. Despite his injury, he continued fighting his enemies. The adrenaline rush was boosting his strength and his will to escape. He could endure the pain. The gunshot wound was nothing compared to the hellish training he underwent when he was just a kid.
Tatsumi ripped his shirt and tied his leg to stop his bleeding. He couldn't stay there and fight them forever. It was just a waste of time. He had to run and escape.
'My lady is waiting for me. I can't die here. I can't let them capture me and imprison me. I have to find my future wife!' This thought motivated him further.
Meanwhile, Speed could only watch him in awe. Tatsumi surpassed all her expectations. She was certain she hit his bone. He should be screaming in pain now. However, Tatsumi continued to move as if he wasn't injured at all.
"Fuck! He is incapable of feeling any pain!" Speed cursed inwardly. She tried to get another clear shot but she failed. Tatsumi already knew her position. He was running in a direction where Speed won't be able to get a clear shot.
Tatsumi was trained for survival. He didn't deserve to marry the daughter of the godfather if he could easily be defeated by just one gunshot.
He managed to steal a car from the members of the King Stallion Mafia. He drove away from the scene and the members were still chasing after him.
Tatsumi headed to the airport. A private plane of the Sawada Clan had been waiting for him. Speed was on his tail. She couldn't let this guy escape, otherwise, Phoenix would blame her for her incapability.
She was always competing against Phoenix, proving to him that she was better than him. She hated the fact Phoenix was chosen as the King's right-hand man. She wanted to get that position!
However, she couldn't accept the humiliation once her target escaped. She needed to catch him no matter what!
Other men couldn't match her driving skills. She caught up with him as he entered the airport. Tatsumi used the alternate route so that he could avoid the crowd.
He thought no one was following him already. He got out of the car. And the flight attendant and pilot of the private plane stepped forward to welcome him.
"Sir! You are injured!" The flight attendant panicked upon seeing Tatsumi's bleeding leg.
"Stop," Joker said in his authoritative voice.
Joker was a high-ranking official of the organization. The torturers had to obey him. He motioned them to leave so they did, leaving Joker and Marco alone in that prison cell.
Joker watched Marco from top to bottom. He was barely alive. He was beaten up badly. Different parts of his body were covered with bruises and cuts. He also had some broken bones.
Joker slowly approached Marco and whispered, "I got an order from King. If you want to live, pull yourself together. I will get you out here."
With his remaining strength, Marco gazed at him and smirked. "Vero-nica... bring her with us." Marco would never leave that headquarters without Veronica.
Joker scoffed at him. "You are making my job harder. Tsk!"
Joker had no choice but to sneak out two people, helping them to escape. He proceeded to Veronica's room, sending away her guards.
Joker unlocked the door, letting Veronica out.
"Joker?" Veronica was surprised when he released her. She thought he was loyal to Nathan. But he was clearly disobeying Nathan's command after releasing Veronica.
"Doc, you have to leave and bring Marco with you." Joker handed his car key over to Veronica.
"What the hell are you doing?" Chantha shouted when she witnessed Joker and Veronica. Veronica was supposed to be locked inside that room. But Joker released her and even gave her his car key.
Without further ado, Chantha charged in Joker's direction. She wanted to punch his face. But Joker moved swiftly, blocking her fist using his palm.
Joker's expression turned serious. He had to deal with Chantha, or else, Marco and Veronica won't be able to escape.
"Traitor! How much did she offer you? You Moron!" Chantha snarled at him through her gritted teeth.
"I'm sorry, Chantha," Joker mumbled before shoving her body into the wall.
Thud!
"Argh!" Chantha winced in pain as her back hit the wall so hard. A sharp object accidentally stabbed her back... the lower part of her waist.
Before she could make another move, Joker hit her neck, knocking her down.
