Chapter 398 - 396: Sisterly Talk
"Let me clarify, only those who died on this round would be affected should you choose to punish them with death." Eunji continued.
"So, what's your decision?" Mr. Alinsky asked Asia.
"Well, if that's the case, my decision still stands. Death. Now, can I leave? I want to pee. Or do you want me to pee right here?"
"Let her go. She's done." Eunji interrupted.
"But." The guards were hesitant.
"I'm the game master. I have the final say. Not President Williams."
Inside the control room, Bobby could not hold back himself and say, "Seems like someone wants to challenge your authority, President."
President Williams who was now back sitting on his seat clenched his palm into a tight fist while looking at the screen.
"I didn't mean to discredit you President. However, this is my game. And so this is my rules." Eunji immediately added. If President Williams would dare to comment, then, people would say he's trying to be petty.
Therefore, he had no other choice but to agree to Eunji, "Go ahead. I don't mind."
Asia triumphantly entered the Exit and walked along the hallway going to the ladies room.
She was already half-way there when someone tried to grab her by the arm. As expected, she was able to avoid it and started confronting the perpetrator but then, "Calm down Ma'am. My Mistress sent me to get you."
This man was one of the KSA agents that Eunji had deployed to accompany him in this mission.
"Follow him, Unnie." Eunji echoed in her ear.
"Okay. Lead the way."
Asia was led to the secret room where Eunji was staying. When she entered, the man left them alone in the room to give the sisters the privacy.
"Eve, why did you ask me to come here? If you have something to say, you can say it in the earpiece right?"
"Yes. However, this is urgent." Eunji said with emphasis.
"Monet now has Nathan."
"What?!"
"Unfortunately yes." She said with a sigh.
"I think he's preventing Nathan to see you because he knew he could recognize you right away and would spoil his plan of maybe deceiving Mr. Alinsky."
"Are you certain?" Not that she was doubting her sister. Sometimes, Eunji's intuition had always been spot on.
"Yes. Toby, has him. And I have to go and make sure that he's safe and is unharmed. Maybe he is hidding him somewhere safe."
"Well, goodluck. Nathan is as stubborn as you. He would never let himself to be hidden away while you're battling alone. And, I'll never forgive him if he'd let you do this alone!" Asia also emphasized.
"No. I'm trying my best that they won't hurt him. That damn Williams has placed a bounty in both of your heads and Nathan would be battling with the ten best mercenaries in the world just to survive."
And also, she had to make a few preparations to crash President Williams and Francais.
"Little sis, let me remind you. Whatever you're planning, let me handle Frederick and Francais."
Eunji had indeed included Frederick and Francais on her plan. However, seeing that Asia was also determined to punish the two, she had no other choice but to give way.
"But why do I feel like you're starting to develop feelings for the guy?"
"What?! No! Frederick? His bed skills is even an average." She was really trying to hide the disgust she felt as she recalled everything that Frederick had done to her.
"Oh my gosh! You have both done it?" Eunji was uttered shock upon hearing it.
But then it was replaced with coldness, "Did he force you?!"
"Obviously. But hey! I'm not in a loss okay? I did enjoy some of it. I could just easily knock him over if I didn't. After all, he's in the most vulnerable state during those times."
"Unnie! Are you trying to defend that guy in front of me?!"
"Calm down, Eve! There's nothing that you have to be worried about. After all, now that the bullsh*t collar was off my neck, I can do everything."
She had done it to gain the man's trust. That so he'd lower his guard.
"Are you hearing yourself? He's a man and you're a woman. Have you both even used protection?"
Her question caught Asia by surprise. But then her facial expression shifted.
"It's fine little sis. I'll be fine. He did used protection." Asia lied. Everytime they had done it, he didn't use any protection at all.
However, she was sure that there will be no offspring between them.
"Good! That's good. Anyways. You have to be careful while you're with him, okay?"
"I am. And I think it won't be that long and that man would stop hurting me."
"And, may I know why?"
"Because I feel that he already has feelings with me."
Eunji was rendered speechless by how confident Asia said that. Asia tried to laugh it off as she looked at Eunji's face.
"Come on sis! I may have gone for too long but I still have that appeal. I can make any man to love me in a day. After all, I'm pretty as you are."
"Oh gosh! You're crazy Unnie." Eunji could only shook her head in disbelief.
However, she smiled while looking at Asia. This was like how their conversations in the past used to be.
"Anyways, have you heard of the guy named Hades?"
"Hades?" Asia seemed to be surprised to hear that name. And so Eunji became curious.
"Do you know him, Unnie?"
"Hmm. Nope. However, that name seemed to be familiar. Why? Are you having a crush on someone now?"
"Hell no! I have four children waiting for me at home and I'm sure they'd skin me alive if they found out that I am meeting another man aside from their dad." Eunji may sound over reacting but she was sure that it would really happen should she replace their father with another man.
"Well, Hades is Su Ying's neighbor inside the International Prison. A jail brake happened and he managed to escape. They said he's a notorious serial killer? That's why I thought you must have probably heard of him."
"Well if you don't know him, then I don't know him either." But she frowned as she tried to recall that name.
"The name sounds familiar but I could not really point out when I heard that name."
"Just forget about him. He'd surely show up when it's time."
"Yeah. We don't have to look for him. They'd show up in front of us eventually."
"Yeah."
Their attention was then caught by what was happening on the screen.
Frederick and ten other on their team had awaken from the capsule. The rest didn't make it.
"Seems like your prince charming will be coming and looking for you soon." Eunji teased Asia again.
"Stop it! Do you really want him to be your brother-in-law?"
"Ha! There's no way I'd let him be your husband Unnie. He and Francais had put you in danger and I'll never forgive them for that." Eunji's expression shifted into a three and sixty degree turn.
"Oh hold your horses! I'll never let him have me either. Heck! I'd rather die alone than be with him."
"Don't say that, I'll find a cure for you. Don't give up hope okay? After this is over, I'll focus my attention into treating you." Eunji was very determined.
Asia immediately hugged Eunji as she tried to hide the sadness in her eyes.
Why do regrets always come in the end? She really thought she could be with Eunji until their hair turned gray and their skin became wrinkled with old age.
However, she didn't expect that even that would be taken away from her.
"Are you crying?"
"No I'm not!" She said with a pout though tears were already streaming down her face.
Eunji felt bad even more. However, she's even more determined to help her sister. Everyone deserves to be happy.
Eunji patted Asia's back making her to cry even more. Though she heard a sob, Eunji made no comment about it.
"Hmm. I want you to imagine this. After all of these are over, I'll bring you to meet your nieces and nephews. I'm sure they'll be happy to meet their Aunt." She said to cheer her.
When Asia heard of the possibility that she'd meet those lovely children again, she felt like crying. After all, she'd never be a mother again.
"Really? But what about Nathan?" Eunji broke the hug so she could look at her sister's face and helped her in wiping it dry.
"Don't worry about him. If he'd not agree. I'll kick him out of the house and would let him sleep outside for days." She said with a very serious tone which made Asia to giggle.
"I don't think I have formally apologized to everything that I have done in the past."
"It's fine, Unnie. Forget about it."
"No. I don't think so. I have hurt you many many times."
Though she did not totally get what Asia was trying to tell her, Eunji bobbed her head and continued convincing her that it was really fine.
However, she herself was not convinced. One day, she'd like to confess everything to her before she died.
She knew she had a little time left. And she wanted to die peacefully.
"Unnie, even before you say sorry, I have already forgiven you. You're the only sister that I have. Even if you tried to kill me, I'd still forgive you."
However, it's a different story if Asia would hurt her children.
"Anyways, be careful. Also, something happened to Jin Jie."
"What happen to him?"
"He's missing. We've been looking for his body now."
"Body...do you mean?"
"No. I feel that he's still alive. He's just out there. However, his car fell on the sea bellow. And no body was inside it when the authorities pulled it out from the water."
Eunji sighed in helplessness. There was a possibility that...especially when there were a lot of blood.
"Seems like you already have an idea on who did this to you?"
"It's Su Ying's men. And I'm sure that Hades's appearance must be related to this." She then looked at Asia and continued, "Su Ying's already on the move. Therefore, it won't be so soon and all of this would be over."
"I'm amazed that he's still capable to make this huge impact on us despite the fact that he's locked up inside."
"What can I say? He has his ways."
Eunji then looked at her watch and started mumbling.
"Go back. Expect that I'll call you just like this."
"Okay. Go and check on your king."
"Go and welcome your prince charming."
