The Psychotic Girl’s Revenge

“You haven’t burdened me.”

Paige stared at him, and seeing that Arjun had no intention of leaving, she stopped wasting time and stood up to deal with the two prison guards.

“Paige.”

Arjun dropped his smile and called out to her.

“……”

Paige’s body stiffened a little.

“You know how tight the security is in the prison. There are cameras everywhere. If you rescue me now, everything you’ve arranged will be wasted,” Arjun said seriously. “If you can save people from the slums in the future, losing me is nothing. Even if you can’t, you must protect yourself.”

She is more important than him.

Paige looked at him and thought of someone. “I know a big shot who will help me. He can save both of us.”

She couldn’t afford to think about plans and arrangements anymore. She had to save him.

Arjun looked at her with some surprise. She usually didn’t like relying on others. Was she just saying this to comfort him?

He shook his head. “Little Paige, we Wind Island people have a saying: everyone will die eventually. It’s no big deal.”

“……”

She knew.

She believed in that saying, but she couldn’t just watch him die in front of her.

“I’ve lived enough. In one year, I’ve seen the world, played with my phone, watched TV, eaten steak and rice, even tasted love. That’s enough,” Arjun said to her with genuine seriousness.

He meant what he said.

These things that seem so normal to ordinary people were enough for him after just one year.

How absurd.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Not enough.” Paige stared at him, her attitude resolute and stubborn.

“Little Paige, why are you still so stubborn?”

Arjun chewed on the chicken leg in his mouth, swallowed, and smiled helplessly, his eyes full of tenderness. “Do you really want to save me?”

Paige nodded. “If you cooperate with me, I can make it foolproof.”

“Then shouldn’t you contact your big shot and get him ready?” Arjun smiled. “Otherwise, we might be shot as soon as we get out of prison.”

This was a prison break.

Paige reached for her bag, frowning. “When we came in, electronic devices were taken outside. We should go out first, then…”

Arjun shook his head with a smile. “Are you asking for help or are you making things difficult for the big shot? How can you not give him time to prepare?”

“……”

Paige’s frown deepened. Indeed, if they rushed out, Enrico wouldn’t have time to prepare.

For some reason, she felt that if she made this call, Enrico would definitely help her save him. Even if he was unhappy, he would help her.

She looked at Arjun. “When is the execution?”

“I have to finish this meal first,” Arjun glanced at the chicken leg meal in front of him. “Don’t worry, I’ll eat slowly.”

He said it sincerely.

Paige didn’t hesitate any longer. She stood up from the table and suddenly looked at him. “Arjun, you can’t lie to me.”

Arjun laughed at her. “Little fool, when have I ever lied to you?”

Indeed, Arjun had never lied to her on Wind Island.

Paige looked at him deeply, nodded, and turned to walk out. She asked the guards for the exact execution time to make sure she still had time before heading out.

First walking, then running.

She dashed down the long corridor of the prison.

While she sprinted forward, Arjun sat in the small room, finishing the chicken leg, leaving the bones on the table.

He looked at the meal in front of him and smiled faintly.

Little Paige, this is the first and last time I deceive you as an older brother.

He really couldn’t let her fall into danger.

As long as she was doing well now, that was enough.

Arjun stood up from the table, slowly walked outside, and pretended to stumble as he approached the guards, using the opportunity to adjust the guard’s watch.

The guards pushed him away urgently, adjusting their masks. “What are you doing?”

“Sorry.” Arjun lowered his head, his voice hoarse. “We can go to the execution ground now.”

“Go where? It’s not time yet.”

The guard looked at the time and his eyes widened. “Damn, I read the time wrong. There are two minutes left until the execution time.”

“Then hurry up. This time, it’s really the Public Law Council people who got us killed by delaying so long.”

Execution times must be exact; not a second earlier, not a second later, or their jobs would be in jeopardy.

The two guards hurriedly grabbed Arjun and went.

Arjun’s feet were shackled, making his movement difficult. He was almost dragged along, with no dignity at all.

He didn’t complain, his eyes remained calm as he looked ahead.

As soon as they entered the execution ground, the prison guards rushed to find the executioner. An executioner, holding a file, leisurely walked over. “Why the hurry? Isn’t it still not time yet?”

“It’s time, it’s time.”

The guard showed his watch to the executioner.

The executioner compared the watches, and their discrepancies were huge.

“What’s wrong with your watch? The time hasn’t arrived yet. If we execute now, it’ll be a problem for me,” the executioner said, speechless. “Wait, we’ll execute at the right time.”

Wait.

They couldn’t afford to wait. If they did, Paige would be reckless.

Arjun, who had been quietly silent, slowly raised his head and looked at the sky. It was a beautiful blue, with pure white clouds shifting in various shapes, reminiscent of the clouds he and Paige had watched lying on a rock on Wind Island.

It was nice to see her once more.

There were no regrets.

Arjun withdrew his gaze, looked at the chatting guards, and suddenly lunged at the armed executioner with a fierce expression.

The executioner, shocked, kept retreating and drew his gun from his waist, aiming it.

An early execution.

“Bang.”

……

Paige sprinted through half the length of the prison, burst into the reception room, and reached out. “Give me the phone, quickly.”

The receptionist guard looked at her strangely and handed her the phone from a nearby drawer. “You need to sign… Hey, you!”

Before he could finish, Paige grabbed the phone and ran out, dialing Enrico’s number as she went.

In the past, she would have recklessly taken Arjun away without any regard for consequences.

Even if she was impulsive and rash, she wouldn’t rely on anyone else. But now, Enrico rescuing him was more reliable than anything she could do.

She stopped, listening to the ringing phone, biting her finger, waiting for Enrico to answer and help her once more.

Help her again…

Before the phone rang out, a distant but clear gunshot echoed from the sky.

Above the prison, the sky was a vast blue, the clouds dazzlingly white. A few birds, startled, fluttered away.
