After seeing Lauren not moving anymore, she walked to Lauren's car to take all the evidence. Still, before she opened the car door, she could feel soone from a particular direction watching her.
"It will be troubleso if there are witnesses!!" Scarlett muttered as she tried to find the person.
After a few seconds, a frown appeared on her face. And for a while, she seed to be thinking about sothing deeply.
Later...
Scarlett picked up her cell phone and quickly typed in one particular app. Then she made a phone call. After a few seconds, a panicked voice ca from the other end.
"SEVEN! Who asked you to follow !?" Hearing Scarlett's cold voice, the man on the other end froze.
"...T-TWO!"
'Damn it!!' Scarlett cursed the man in her heart before saying, "...co here at once. I need you to clean up this ss." She said and ended the phone call.
Scarlett imdiately took all of Lauren's belongings in the black car. Then she returned to her car.
She started the vehicle engine and turned the car towards the main road. However, she didn't leave the place imdiately. She stopped the car waiting for Seven to arrive at her location.
As Seven stood outside her car, she asked curiously, "Since when did you follow ?"
Seven is famous for his ghost ability; he can follow his target without knowing it. And Scarlett was sure that this man must have been following her for a few days.
Seven scratched his short black hair before he replied, "Ever since you landed on this island."
"Gosh... You've been following for a week!?" Scarlett was amazed by his increased abilities. "You're getting better. I just noticed you after a week..."
"Hahaha, don't praise too highly. In fact, you are the one who is still sharp. Even though you haven't been on the field for a long ti, you are still aware of my presence!" Seven couldn't help but raise his thumb to praise Scarlett.
Scarlett just waved her hand, not responding to his words. She said, "After clearing this place, return to your base! I will be leaving the island tonight. I don't need your guard..."
Seven was surprised to hear her words, "But..."
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ She glared at him, "Do I look weak to you!? If you don't obey , I will call him now and complain!!" Her commanding voice was enough to make Seven shudders.
He knew how heartless this woman was. In their guild, anyone who ssed with her would et a tragic end or at least have a miserable life. They would suddenly be eliminated from the Twelve Core or Inner mbers and sent straight to the outer mber.
After years, he enjoyed the seventh rank in the Guild — Hence the nickna SEVEN — He'd rather die than return to that stage, starting as an Outer mber again.
He couldn't provoke her, even though he had to disobey the number TWO order.
'Damn it! These numbers Two and Three are like a death note to !!' Seven could only lant his bad luck in his heart because he was the one who got this assignnt.
He put his best smile before saying, "Y-Yes... I will! Of course, I will. You can call anyti you need anything from ."
Scarlett's smile saw this man obey her so quickly. She nodded and stepped on the gas but suddenly hit the brake. The car suddenly stopped after a few ters.
She rolled down the window and looked at Seven.
"Seven, did you report about this ambush?" Scarlett asks.
"Yes, I reported to him before you noticed …"
Scarlett didn't say another word. She imdiately left that place by driving her car fast towards the hotel. Jas and Logan must be worried about her, and they could be late for the eting at Ocean Group.
In a Beach Front Hotel.
Logan and Jas sat in the lobby in a tense state. It had been two hours since they had heard from David Irvin that Scarlett had left the Piers residence, but, until now, she had not arrived.
Even though the distance from Piers' residence to the hotel is not that far, only about 15 minutes drive.
An hour ago, he asked soone to check the road. Still, there was no accident from the hotel to the Piers' house and the area surrounding it — The young Madam seed to have disappeared without a trace. And obviously, this made him very worried.
"Jas, should we report to the master Xander?" Logan asked fearfully. He feared the Master would scold him because he let the young Madam unassisted.
And since earlier, it had crossed his mind that the people who attacked her in the graveyard a few days ago would return to attack her.
After seemingly a long silence, Jas said, "Wait another thirty minutes. If she hasn't co, ask soone to check the CCTV!"
They didn't want to do that earlier because if they asked soone to check the CCTV, then Master Xander would know about it.
Logan nodded in agreent. "Young Madam must be fine!"
"Yeah, of course, she should be fine. Didn't you say she's good at martial arts!?"
"Yes!" said Logan. However, until now, his mind has not yet cald down.
Before long...
"She's coming!!" shouted Jas when he saw the familiar car. They rushed outside to stay at the main entrance without waiting.
Scarlett could see Logan and Jas standing at the main entrance, and it was apparent on their faces that they were both worried. She beca regretful for ignoring their calls and texts.
"Ma'am... Is there any trouble on the way?" Logan imdiately opened the car door for Scarlett as soon as the car stopped.
"Nothing Happen!" Scarlett's answer still made them curious.
"Young Madam, you are back. Is everything fine? Why have you arrived just now?" Jas asked calmly, but Scarlett could see how worried his expression was now.
"Guys, why do you both look worried? I'm fine. This island is the safest in the country. Don't worry, I'm just dropping by sowhere..."
Scarlett casually replied and smiled to make them feel better. Then, she walked into the hotel before asking them to order lunch for her and themselves at a restaurant. She was famished — it was way past lunchti.
