Chapter 659: Departure
Chapter 659: Departure
Amora made her way to the designated location early in the morning.
The city had been raining cats and dogs over the night.
Thus, one would easily slip and fall should one fail to keep an eye on their steps.
Amora hailed a cab to a supermarket in the central region of the city and saw Akiko as soon as she alighted from the cab.
Akiko stammered at the presence of Amora, "M-Ms.Rory—"
Instead of losing her cool, Amora glared at Akiko in the eyes and asked in a callous tone, "Where's the thing I need?"
Akiko handed over the things she had brought along with her hands shivering against her will.It was evident the antidote was inside the delicate-looking box.
Amora stretched her hands and instructed, "Hand it over to me!"
Akiko turned around with her eyes widened in horror.She started begging Amora, "M-Ms.Rory, can you please hand over the things you have brought to me?"
She was afraid of the things awaiting her should she fail to complete the assigned tasks.
Horrified, her legs started shivering again.
Amora was well aware of the things Akiko had brought up.
Instead of trying to make Akiko's life miserable, Amora handed over the stack of letters to Akiko.
"Is Ken and Hanako your siblings?"
"Y-Yes!"
Akiko retrieved the things Amora brought along and completed the deal.
Similarly, Amora heaved a long sigh of relief when she got her hands on the antidote she needed for her father.
"If that's the case, are you aware of the reason behind your siblings’ demise?"
"H-Huh?"
Akiko looked at Amora in the eyes since Amora brought up an unexpected topic of the blue when they were in the middle of a trade.
Why is she asking the obvious when she's the one who has brought upon their demise? Akiko wasn't as intimidated as she was anymore when she recalled the presence of her deceased siblings.
To be precise, her angst was written all over her face.
Amora had been observing the changes in Akiko's emotions.
As a result, she chuckled and asked, "Has Yancy told you we were the ones behind your siblings’ demise?"
"Are you suggesting that's not the case?"
"Of course! She had sent your brother to take Mr.Ronin Sr.out! In other words, she was the one behind your brother's demise! There was no way Channing could take him out if she wished to keep him safe!"
As the woman in front of her remained silent, Amora added, "Also, Hanako had brought upon her very own demise by dancing to Yancy's tune.She shouldn't have been my doppelganger when there was no way she could deceive others."
A few seconds of pause later, she explained, "I mean, even if she could deceive others and get others to acknowledge her as Amora, you don't think she could deceive Kane, do you? Xenia, who had tried something similar, was sent to Yancy and beaten to a pulp in the end.You don't think Yancy is going to forgive your sister, do you?"
Akiko's face turned pale and haggard in a few seconds after figuring out the truth.
No! I'm sure she's lying! There's no way Mrs.Tsurka will lie to me when she has brought us up ever since we were young! She would never put our lives at stake! Akiko staggered in disbelief and returned to the side of the man hiding in the dark throughout the entire session.
The man snatched the things Akiko had retrieved from Amora and fled the scene without a second thought instead of bringing Akiko away with him.
She rushed in the direction of the man and yelled, "No, Koizumi! You can't leave me alone! Please bring me away with you!"
Unfortunately, her effort was to no avail as she fell due to the slippery floor.
The helpless foreigner started wailing in the middle of nowhere, "N-No! You can't leave me alone! I'm making my way back to Japan as well!"
It was then she found out they were merely pawns of the vicious woman as Amora had told her a few minutes ago.
Staring dead ahead, the weeping Akiko muttered to herself with a determined look, "Yancy, I'll definitely avenge my siblings and get the better of you!"
On the other hand, Amora returned to the hospital as soon as she got her hands on the antidote.
Jackson and Sharon had long made their way to the hospital.
They asked the moment they saw Amora, "Amora, where's the antidote?"
Amora unlocked the box and retrieved the syringe with colorful solution.She stopped getting her hopes high with Roxanne ever since she figured out Kane had spent a night with Roxanne.
Amora was utterly disgusted and couldn't bring herself to rely on Roxanne.
Otherwise, she would get reminded of the things she had to go through whenever she saw her father.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
