Chapter 4

Luther frowned yet came to a halt for a moment, thinking it might have been a cat or a dog that had been run over. However, the noise was too loud for an animal. Still thinking about their ongoing operation, the young man was about to restart the engine but couldn't bear the thought of abandoning the animal that had been run over in the middle of the street.

The young man also has a dog and his conscience is taking over him. After putting on the cap, the young man exited the car only to discover that it was pouring heavily. Setting aside the weather, He took a quick look at the car's bumper and was taken aback by what he saw.

He does not run over an animal, but rather a person. His Head, face, and body are all covered in blood.

The young man could not avoid falling to the ground at the same time that the past was quickly shown to him, causing him to suffocate from the sight of blood all over the road. He saw the things that often happened in his dreams again and again.

The young man fumbled around until he grabbed hold of his car's bumper, his eyes clouded and he was struggling to catch his breath. There, he tried to calm himself.

He couldn't be like this during their operation. He must act and leave this location as soon as possible.

The young man forced himself to look back at the person lying on the road, still exhausted and trying to catch his breath.

Due to the darkness, the young man was surprised to encounter people. The young man was perplexed as to what had transpired because there was no one in the area and the lights were the same.

To determine if the person lying on the road was still alive, he approached it slowly when the man opened his eyes, Hey--" He called out to him, but his eyes were closed completely, and didn't respond. The young man was about to call him once more when he heard his phone ringing.

He took a sharp exhale to settle down, then went back to the car to get his phone and got out, watching the person who had been hit while answering the question, "What is it?"

"Lopez has ordered his people to go after anyone who leaves the premises; where are you? Have you reached the route?" his friend asked while he was still looking at the unconscious person. "Shit!" the young man exclaimed slowly, "Why? Is there a problem?"

This is indeed a problem for him. He couldn't leave the person in this condition, but he had to leave the place as well. He only has a matter of minutes or his secrets will be exposed.

The young man inhaled deeply and tried to think. "I'll explain later," he said as he examined the condition of the person who had been run over. "They just left, and don't worry, I'm still monitoring their every move. And about K, he is still at the party doing his final job---"

"Fuck!" the young man cussed weakly but the other person heard, "Why Midnight? Is there really a problem?" it inquired, concerned.

What he saw had a profound impact on the young man's face; it had not only run over a person but a woman! He mistook her hair for cloth because of its thickness and blackness. Worst of all, he collided with a student. He recognized her uniform because he had once walked into this school to judge a completely meaningless competition. "Hey, Luth—-!"

"Call you later," he quickly disconnected the call before looking at the girl.

He could've just left the girl and carried on with their plan, but every time he looked at her, he couldn't help but think about what happened to his parents. He took a deep breath before carrying the girl's bloody body to the car he was riding in. He checked to see if she was still alive and breathing, then dashed back to the front of the car where her blood was splattered. He quickly sprayed the road with hydrofluoric acid to dissolve the blood and mixed it with rain, leaving no trace behind.

If Lopez's men see it, they will undoubtedly be more interested in the identity of the blood. With their power and the girl in his hands, they will easily connect everything, putting him in danger.

He immediately got into the car and drove it to the end location. The young man returned his gaze to the young woman and took a minute to feel her pulse. Still alive.

Their plan was about to succeed; this should never happen. Damn! He had calculated everything, but he never expected this to happen. Shaking his head, the young man wasn't sure if the girl would make it to the hospital, and he couldn't abandon their operation just to get it treated. His top priority remains their mission.

He sighs feeling guilty for having to take one's life when he received another call from Lucas, "What happened? I saw blood marks from where you've been," he shook his head and continued driving. " Fvck! Did it not mix in?"

" It did but you left tiny evidence, don't worry, I have cleaned the mess." Lucas answered," But you haven't told me what happened "

"I told you I'll explain—-" he was about to end the call when he remembered something. "Could you send me a doctor?" Lucas asked, perplexed. "What? Why? What for?"

" I'll explain later. I need a doctor. A reliable one. " He said before hanging up. He can't risk exposing his hidden activities, but he also can't ignore the girl. This is the only way he could think of helping her.

He went to their base and carefully unloaded the girl from the car. He looked at his watch seeing he only had an hour to finish their mission.

The two he had been expecting arrived only a few moments later. "Yow dude, girls are dying for my face but your face was damn! it's like a women's magnet! I can't even breathe how they wanted to get near and touch me!" Kheed exclaimed as he removed the same prosthetic mask Luther had been wearing to impersonate a delivery rider.

This is who disguised himself as Luther in order for the young man to carry out the theft without anyone suspecting him; this is what they frequently do, causing their rank to rise quickly in the mafia world without anyone suspecting that he is behind this group.

"Ah, perhaps that's why he says many women are obsessed with him, he was using your face," Lucas teased as Kheed entered. "No way, it would be a waste if I just hid my handsomeness behind this mask," Kheed said, complimenting himself when he heard their leader's voice.

" Where's the doctor?" Asked by the young man ignoring their jokes.

"About that, I can't let him know this place, we better leave this place as soon as possible if you want one, he's one of my trusted people but I can't take the risk," Lucas replied, giving the young man another problem.

"Why, boss? Are you hurt? that's a first, he's never had an injury---oh my...." Kheed was about to say more when he saw blood scattered on the floor and saw the bloodied body of a woman lying unconscious." Bloody hell.."

"What happened?" Lucas immediately approached her and checked the pulse, "She's barely breathing and her pulse has weakened; we need to get her to the hospital."

"Then let's get moving," Luther said as he exited the warehouse. Despite having a lot of questions on their minds, the two acted quickly. They changed the clothes they wore during the operation and burned them so there would be no evidence of what they had done, just as their boss. had done earlier.

They placed the woman's bloodied body next to Lucas in the car to monitor her condition. "What happened, boss? Who is she, and why is she covered in blood?" Kheed inquired as he drove the car. "I crashed into her," the young man replied, blowing a puff of smoke.

"What?" Kheed exclaimed, staring at the still-unconscious woman. "Damn, that explains why she looked that way!"

"How did this happen? You've never made a mistake like this before," Lucas inquired. " I don't know either; she just appears out of nowhere," the young man responded once more.

"Looks like the one you crashed into is still a student, boss; we're doomed," Kheed said. "Her outfit appears to be from RiverStone University."

"That's the worst part. That school is known for getting wealthy students. Some are from government households and business owners. It's not easy to get through when it leaked out in public. Our operation today can also be affected, and his most hidden secret will be exposed," Lucas said as he threw a cigarette on the road, looking at Luther.

"Then should I just kill her?" this question completely baffled the two young men.
