Three o’clock in the morning.
The familiar container truck passed the Italian customs checkpoint, officially entering the Italian area quickly. Arturo pushed the customs officer a pile of US dollars, and then they conveniently drove away. Of course, before leaving, the customs officer helped them delete the CCTV containing the image of this container. Arturo doesn’t want to return to that country with this ugly container, and he will, of course, use a fake passport and take a plane to an Asian country to relieve it.
Based on the address given by the Italian man’s subordinates, Arturo followed the map and entered a remote suburban area. In the distance, Brown could see a large white mansion standing alone in the middle of wild land.
Even though it was three o’clock in the morning, the lights in the mansion were still on, making it more gorgeous than ever. Brown wondered, do the wealthy older men of the underworld all have a life like this? It is estimated that this old Italian man’s mansion is not less than five million dollars.
Arturo steered closer to the mansion. Outside, two bodyguards were wearing professional black suits. He got out of the car and said something to the two bodyguards. Brown couldn’t hear their conversation. He only saw five more bodyguards running out from inside the mansion.
Arturo threw a bunch of keys at Brown’s body, he ordered.
“Unlock it.”
Five tall bodyguards ran to the back of the container, and Brown heard Arturo’s orders. He unlocked the cargo compartment. Then throw the cartons on the ground. Five bodyguards lined up like robots, each carrying a beautiful girl in his arms and entering the white mansion. Brown and Arturo both watched in the footsteps of the bodyguards, their throats moving up and down several times. Those girls… are all beauties!
The two guards at the door received a notification from the phone. He told Arturo and Brown.
“For now, you should find a hotel in the city center to rest, the money will be paid, and the fake passport will be sent to you tomorrow...” The bodyguard put a key in Brown’s hand. He continued. “Our boss is busy in Monaco, and he wants to give you this car as a thank you.”
Brown is happy, and he laughs from ear to ear…Ha! They just brought the girls over and were given a car! Arturo thanked the two bodyguards, and then he and Brown drove into the city center. The mission has been completed 80 percent. Now they need to sleep, and tomorrow they will wake up with millions of dollars!
After five hours of anesthetics, Emma awoke from a deep sleep. Her hands and feet were still bound, but it wasn’t that cold, dark container anymore. She was in a large room. Next to her were the girls who had been locked in the container last night. But now it’s not just five, and there are six. Maybe…the new victim.
Emma was suddenly a little stunned. There was a girl only about thirteen years old. She has light blonde hair and a fair complexion, a typical beauty of an Italian girl.
Emma looked at the rest. She was looking for Lena…Lena…where is she? Lena is not here! Emma’s heart seemed to break, helpless when she couldn’t see Lena.
“Lena…Lena…where are you?” Emma’s sobs echoed in the locked room. No one here could hear her cries. The girls here, all unconscious, their hands and feet bound. She couldn’t move or try to get out.
Suddenly! The door was opened violently. Emma was unprepared, so she turned her eyes to the wooden door. Two tall men in black suits, like bodyguards. They were escorting a girl about 170cm tall.
The two men saw Emma awake, their faces a little surprised. They shoved the Italian girl to the ground, her arms and legs tied like the others, only she wasn’t drugged.
Bang!
With the sound of objects falling to the ground, the Italian girl was pushed to the ground by two men roughly. Unfortunately, she hit a nearby nightstand, causing the small mirror on the table to fall and shatter.
But the other two men didn’t care much for the broken mirror, not even Emma and the Italian girl who had just been brought into the room.
One of them said.
“What should we do with this girl now?”
“The boss’s orders are to let them wake up sooner or later. Just keep an eye on them.”
Emma knew she would be safe, so she breathed a sigh of relief. She dared not look directly at the two men. Emma only dared to observe this Italian girl, who had distinctive brown skin and jet-black hair, utterly different from the other girls. A strong beauty, she had deep and cold eyes like the man named Arturo whom Emma met last night...
After the two men left, Emma now spotted an excellent opportunity. Among the broken mirror pieces, a few pieces have very high sharpness.
She heard the latch of the door from outside and dared to move closer to the broken mirror.
Holding a piece of broken mirror, Emma’s hands were tied behind her back but still not wholly useless. She was relying on the skills taught in school. Emma, though had a bit of difficulty cutting ropes. But after ten minutes, she also successfully untied the handcuffs. Emma was overjoyed, and she quickly untied the ropes from her legs. In this room there is a window, you can jump out from there…there is hope!
“Girl? Can you help me?” A voice came from behind Emma. It was the voice of the Italian girl who had been brought into this room just now.
Emma asked.
“What’s your name?”
“Erza. You?”
“My name is Emma. You are Italian, right?” Emma asked as she untied Erza. This girl had a very harsh voice. Emma could see on Erza’s wrist a tattoo with a distinctive pattern, and it wasn’t hard to see, of a comprehensive open eye looking directly at her. Emma swallowed. That tattoo… a bit scary.
“Yes. Are you from France?”
Emma nodded.
Ezra, after being untied, stood up, twirled her wrist a few times, and asked. From Emma’s voice, she could tell that Emma was from France. After all, France is also close to Italy, so it’s not too difficult for Emma to be kidnapped. What’s more, the mastermind is the older adult of the Russo family, a man of high status in the Italian underworld.
Ezra walked in front of one of the unconscious girls. She untied the girl, calling her name.
“Carla! Carla!”
That girl also didn’t wake up, and maybe she was injected with sleeping pills recently, so she is still in a deep coma. Emma looked at Erza untie the girl named Carla, she asked.
“Is that girl your friend?”
“She is my owner. I'm here to save her.”
"Thank you for helping me untie. I need to get Carla out of this place." Ezra untied Carla and said. Her face still maintains a cold expression. She looks like a professional bodyguard…"Er…Erza…Can you help me get out of here?" Emma was a little awkward, she asked. She didn't have much hope that Erza would agree. After all, they had only met for less than ten minutes. Furthermore, Erza's job is to rescue her owner - Carla, the thirteen-year-old Italian girl.As Emma thought, Erza refused."I am not a good person. My job is to keep Carla safe. Thank you very much for helping me untie. I will repay you in the future, not now." Erza said frankly. Emma also understood and did not insist on wanting Erza to extend her hand to save her.Emma must rely on herself to survive. If she can leave this place, she can go to the authorities to report the case and return to France. Emma wants to go back home, even if it means living in that castle for the rest of her life. She accepts. Even if her mo
"Emma, me and Erza will protect you from danger. If we are locked up here for too long, Mr. Ivan will come and save us. When I get home, I'll tell Ivan you saved Erza and me." Carla said innocently. In her eyes, there was appreciation and excitement for Emma. Emma's fingers held hers tighter. Emma had a feeling that Carla loved her very much.But in reality, what Emma does is help Erza untie and help her so they can defeat the two bodyguards. Apparently, Erza was the one who saved her. Emma said."There is no need for that. After I leave, I will go to the embassy to contact my family and return to France. By then, we will have to be apart." Emma stroked Carla's hair. Carla's footsteps stopped suddenly. Her face stiffened as if she disagreed with Emma's intention. Her gaze seemed to be in turmoil, a disturbance that shouldn't be on a thirteen-year-old.Ezra walked in front. When Carla stopped, she didn't move on either. Erza had guessed something, she explained to Emma."Once we get ou
"I don't know where she is…I lost her 5 minutes ago."The other man had no doubts about Emma's words. He determined she was also a kidnapping victim, so he lowered his guard against Emma. He had a phone, the two of them based on the light inside it to trace the exit to the second floor. The light is just beginning to appear.Somehow, that strange man disappeared behind Emma's back. Once again, Emma was walking alone on a deserted street without anyone. Outside, the sun is getting higher and higher, but not because of that. It can shine everywhere. In the distance, a dark cloud was quietly drawing in.The boundary of the sky is divided into two different extremes. Emma tried to run as fast as she could. Upstairs, she could hear the complicated sounds of the men as if they were fighting. Emma didn't have time to think much. She needed to find the exit in this large white mansion."Emma!"A familiar female voice came from behind Emma. Her footsteps stopped, and she slowly turned back.It
Emma lay on the bed, her blurry eyes slowly opening. The first thing she saw was the white ceiling. She blinked a few times, realizing she was being stabbed in the right wrist by a needle.Where is it?This was a room. Beside her was the standard medical equipment found in a hospital, but this was not a hospital. She could be sure of that. Emma tried to look around, but she found herself not as tired as she was in the morning. Even now, she could feel her life force being very strong.But Emma didn't care about that. She went down to the bed, wearing a white knee-length dress. It was a nightgown covered her body from shoulder to calves, making the skin on this girl's body invisible even an inch.Emma went to the door. She used her strength to push this door open, it was not locked, and it was easy to open.She looked at the corridor in front of her. She completely realized it was like a laboratory. Is it Ivan's? Did he bring her here to recuperate? But why was there not a single perso
Tomorrow morning.Emma got up very early. Inside the room is a wardrobe; inside there are many beautiful clothes, but most are home wear. They are still very new like no one has ever touched them. Emma didn't dare to mess around with other people's things, so she just opened it and quickly closed it.Seven thirty in the morning. Emma was still wearing her dress last night today, the temperature has risen, so she feels a little warmer. She stayed in her room, not knowing what to do, sitting in front of the balcony and looking outside. Opposite her room was a large lake, the surface of which slightly rippled when the wind blew across it. A little further away was a dense forest with trees the size of a ten-story city building. They grow close together, forming a gloomy green color.Since it is summer, winds will inevitably blow from time to time.Emma watched below the courtyard garden of the mansion. A few men in black suits would come in and out every half an hour. There were also thr
Emma held the little girl in her arms and comforted her. Although Carla didn't cry, Emma could see an unspeakable sadness in her words. A two-year-old child who lost his parents is pitiful. But fortunately, Carla also has Ivan, a brother who loves her dearly.Carla felt the warmth in Emma's embrace. It had been a long time since anyone had given her such warmth. Carla wants this moment to last forever.Emma's body had a fragrant jasmine scent that was both sweet and warm. Making Carla want to be near Emma, she shook the teddy bear in her arms. Then put his hand on Emma's face to wipe away the tears. Carla said."My brother said that the situation outside is very chaotic right now. The Monaco villa has been destroyed, causing him a lot of trouble. So we can't bring you back to France right now... You promised to stay here with me..."Carla raised her eyes, looking at Emma's face. She has a lovely face, so it is easy to soften others with her sweet words. On top of that, Ivan said that
Erza has a phone call. When she was picking up the phone, a person wearing a blue suit came over on the right. The man there has a high tall and one base to be over as an international wrestler. He looked pretty mature, Emma felt at a glance as if she'd seen this man somewhere, but she couldn't remember who this was right now."Vasco... What's wrong?" Erza spoke Italian, and Emma couldn't understand what she was saying. Furthermore, this was not a conversation for her, so she continued to chat with Carla happily.Erza watched Emma and Carla. She pulled the man named Vasco back after about five meters. At this distance, no one can hear what they are saying.Vasco has a long streak on his face. It extends from the front to his cheekbone. Through the right eye of his face, there is a bit of data. Like Erza, Vasco has a gold badge on his vest. But in other places, his badge also has two diamonds installed meticulously.Vasco Killiaza - Ivan Domenica's practical assistant, he has served th
After begging and pleading for Ivan for half an hour, the young doctor named Vittorio was refused. He also had his phone number blocked by Ivan, making him unable to contact him, and he continued to beg Ivan again. In that cold laboratory, there was a doctor's broken heart. He hugged his knees, looked out at the green trees outside, and sighed, missing an opportunity to study that special heart. Dr. Vittorio becomes depressed all the time... ... City of Milan, Italy. Ivan sits in his office. He sat up straight at his desk. In front of him was a large computer screen. Behind him is a giant transparent glass, easy to see high-rise buildings growing close together in the background. The area of the room is quite large, and he wears a neat black business suit. The tie is delicately tied. On the chest, there is a pure black round badge. In the middle, there is a very elaborate and meticulous inlaid diamond. The sun shines in from outside, making the glitter on the diamond even more b
