51 Chapter 22: The Culpri

Silence enveloped the area as no one wants to talk first while waiting to Emily's reply to this unknown man.

Leila quietly stared at this unknown man as she sized up who this man is. She feels like this man is kind of familiar though she also feels like he's not.

She waits for what will Emily say to this man. She thought she would curse him or something but she didn't expect her to just laugh like she already expected that this would happen.

Once she stopped laughing then, stabilize herself, she said with a grin on her face, " I didn't expect that it would took you a long time to plan something like this, Mr. Alexander Vladimir or should I say my dear ex-husband".

Leila didn't expect this turn of events. She didn't expect that this cold and heartless man would be the same Mr. Vladimir which is one of the guests in the Summit. Besides, the Mr. Vladimir that she saw before is very gentle and soft-spoken. This person seems like a complete opposite of the previous person she saw.

Mr. Vladimir just stayed silent and seems like he doesn't intend to reply to Leila. After a few moments of silence he started to speak.

"Let's cut this small talk and get to business. You know what I want from you Emily. Tell me where she is immediately", the man said slowly in his monotonous tone while he was lazily sitting on the chair.

"What if I don't want to?", Emily said while smiling seductively as if mocking Mr. Vladimir.

Mr. Vladimir stands up from his chair then hold Emily's jaw then said slowly in a cold tone, "Then, you will suffer".

After that, he released her jaw then sit again on his chair.

"Also, why do we have an excess baggage here?", Mr. Vladimir said while he locked his eyesight to Leila.

"Reporting, sir. During the party, she is the only one who didn't drank any liquor so, when they went to the comfort room she is the only one that is still in the right mind so, she witness what happened after Ms. Emily lose consciousness so, to prevent any mishap they decided to also include her", the man closest to Mr. Vladimir said.

"Hmp, then why didn't you just kill her immediately", Mr. Vladimir said coldly as he stared sharply on his subordinate implying that 'Idiot, you know that she would become a hindrance in the future why didn't you just killed her but, instead you also took her into our base'.

The man felt chill on his back as he felt that his boss seems to be annoyed so, he hurriedly apologized and kneel to this man.

"This is this subordinates fault, Sir. I'm sorry for my negligence. It won't happen again", the man said while trembling as he kneel in front of this man.

"Of course this won't happen again, because, there won't be any next time for you", Mr. Vladimir said coldly while he picks up the gun on his side. After he said that, he pointed the gun on this man's forehead then killed him.

Leila was stunned as she witnessed this thing which happened in a span of less than a minute. It seems like this man has real skill as she knows that in their base only the elites could do something like that in a span of a minute as this man's subordinate doesn't have time to retaliate as he was killed immediately.

"Clean this", he said coldly then the men inside the room started to pick-up the corpse.

"As for this unknown woman", as he said that he pointed his gun on Leila's forehead.

Seeing the gun pointed at her, Leila was now feeling very nervous as she thought, 'Is it the end of my life? My baby, I'm sorry if mommy couldn't protect you'.

But, before he could pull the trigger, Emily started to talk.

"You are looking for Sheila right?", Emily hurriedly said but, it seems effective as the man stopped before he could pull the trigger.

Mr. Vladimir stayed silent as he stared coldly towards Emily's way and seems like he is waiting for Emily to continue what she would like to say.

"What if I say that, she is in front of you and you are currently planning to kill her", Emily continued what she tried to say earlier.

"She's not her. Don't treat me for a fool. I know what she looks like", Mr. Vladimir said coldly while still pointing the gun at Leila.

"Hmp, it doesn't concern me if you want to believe me or not. But, all I can say is that, in our technology today it was easy to change someone's identity", Emily said in a calm manner while a smirk is plastered on her face as if she doesn't care if he would believe her or not.

Mr. Vladimir stayed silent as he pondered about Emily's words. Then, a few moments later, he put the gun down then said, " Fine, I will let her live for now. But, I won't believe your words Emily so, you better prepare yourself if you won't tell me what I want to know".

As he said that, he started to stand up from his chair then instructed an order to his subordinate.

"Take them to the storage room", after he said that he started to walk towards the exit of this structure.

His subordinates started to drag the two towards the said storage room then locked them there.
