Chapter 54 54. Pretending Or Not?
"Are you Rose Miller?"
A figure in the black cloak asked Rose as it entered inside the elevator with a tempered voice, making it unrecognizable as male or female.
"Who is asking?"
Surprisingly Rose, unlike her usual self in front of Alia or Alex, answered in a very confident tone, Her voice contained a hint of coldness just like her big sister but slight touch of warm playfulness.
There was no fear or any dumb reaction that she was supposed to do according to her normal routine, But right now there was only disgust and annoyance looking at the figure in front of her.
It's like the Rose, Alex knew and this one is two completely different people, Rose was not her stationed dumbass type heroine (Male leads brother) trope but kinda like cold heroine with her own majesty.
"Huh!?"
The figure in the black cloak was surprised. According to the details it has received, Rose was supposed to be the dumb one.
Here this figure was hoping to have some fun with this dumb young miss of a big family a little but now it seems that the details received are tampered with by someone or they are completely fake.
'There is a rat in the gate, I should inform the dragon lord about it.'
The figure thought that someone was messing things up inside its organization, That's the only reason it can think of to let this thing big mishap happen.
After all, their organization is too big. They have eyes and ears everywhere. It's impossible to get the wrong information. It was clearly the job of someone from inside.
"I said, Who is asking?"
Rose took a step forward in a very threatening manner. There was cold glistering killing intent in her eyes, As if the figure in front of her was already dead in Rose's eyes.
"....."
The figure didn't say anything or it was unable to say anything. Right now, its whole body is shaking. Every cell in its body was crying out, Yelling at it. All kinds of alarms were going off inside its body.
A threat, A Deadly threat. If it makes a wrong move now, it will surely die here. After a long time dancing on the edge of the knife, It was at this moment it experienced this long-lost feeling of overwhelming fear.
A hooded figure was afraid for its dear life. An even idea of countering an opponent not able to arise in her heart.
"...Rita, Just Rita, I don't have a surname."
So the hooded figure took out its hood, Unraveling her beautiful flawless face.
A woman in her early 30s standing in front of Rose, With her killer-alluring curvy body, Her long waist-length red hair was tied into a ponytail, Her skin had a slight tan on it making her sexier.
Her eyes were crescent-like like a curved weapon, Her eyes were as black and deep as the inside of the gun barrel, A tall nose was adding lots of extra charm to her face as her luscious lips were tempting others to commit crimes.
Her chest was a decent size as it was compatible with her hourglass figure, Then there were her tight buttocks over her long slender legs.
Her legs were enough to make her a very successful model if she decided ever to join a modeling career, As they were long and have big thighs, Her legs have a muscle which were clear cut with her delicate feet hiding in her shoes.
Well...She not just unraveled her face but she took out her whole hood because of fear.
Right now she was wearing a pencil-cut dark blue dress as the light blue top was covering her upper body. There was not a single piece of jewelry on her, As those things might get in her way of doing her job.
"So Rita, Why are you stopping me?"
Rose asked in a very slow voice but the elevator filled with a thick killing intent. If she did not get a satisfactory answer, The woman in front of her would cease to exist.
"That- *Gulp* I am here for miss Alia- Charck *Choke*."
Rita was scared shitless. She felt like she was standing in front of a wild predator and she was prey. One wrong moment and she will be hunted by her opponent.
So she wanted to confess why she was there to avoid misunderstanding but as she just uttered Alia's name, Rose grabbed her neck, Her slender finger wrapped around Rita's white charming neck as she started struggling for air.
She saw the crazy look in Rose's eyes, The same look their dragon lord shows when he talks about Alia.
She never gets it. Why are these people so crazy and obsessed about Alia? She is also not bad looking compared to Alia, So why does the dragon lord not even spare her a glance?
Although she didn't care about the current dragon lord, Her loyalty belonged to the throne of the lord but still, She was confident about her looks, She can't tolerate being ignored by him.
But right now, She doesn't have time to think about anything. She was more concerned about saving herself. Her vision was going dark and she would faint any moment because of lack of oxygen.
"10 seconds, Tell me everything or you will die."
Rose's voice is still without any hit of emotions. This scared Rita even more as she knew this was not a bluff, Woman in front of her would surely kill her if she was not satisfied with her answer.
'Why the fuck I even send to do this job? I am a killer, not a spy. This new dragon lord is too incompetent.'
Rita was in a both mental and physical struggle, Trying hard to loosen the grip of Rose but it didn't budge an inch. Those fingers were like iron clutches. No matter how much Rita tried, She was incapable of moving them.
She was cursing the new dragon lord, Who sent her here to investigate, She is a killer god damn it, This is not her job at all, If she survives this, That new dragon lord had to give her proper reason for his incompetence.
"Only 5 seconds remaining, Better start talking"
Rose tightened her grip on Rita's neck but other than struggling and grunting, Rita didn't utter a single word. She hates a new dragon lord now but she is loyal to the organization. She will not speak vital information about the task. This was a basic training they go through.
So Rita just closed her eyes and waited for death. She didn't even know why it was so important for the dragon lord to get information about the Miller family as urgently as he wanted. He from last night was acting weird, But now it was not her concern. She wanted to enjoy the last remaining seconds of her life.
"Time is up."
Rose's voice was chilling cold and she increased the power in her hands.
*Tap* *Tap* *Tap* *Tap*
Just as she was about to finish the job, The sound of her heel hitting the floor reverberated in the hallway.
Rose identified the coming person just by their footsteps as she quickly let Rita go of her grip.
"You better thank your stars later because you are too lucky *Snap*"
Rose looked in the direction of the sound coming from and then at Rita, surprised about the coincidence that saved Rita's life.
But she didn't have time to think too deeply as the sound of footsteps was getting closer, So she quickly snapped her fingers, Which emanate a golden red light filling the whole elevator.
"What are you doing here? And who is she?"
Just when the golden light disappeared, Alia turned towards the elevator just to see Rose inside of it.
She was glad that she was not late, Or Rose would have seen something that she was not supposed to see.
"Si-Sister th-that I-I di-did eve-everything, S-so com- *Gulp* come to meet mom."
Rose had a 180-degree of change the moment she saw Alia, The confidence, that killing intent she was showing just a moment ago all vanished, And the dumbass Rose we all love and know appeared once again.
She was stammering right now, Trying to tell her big sis that she had done what she was told to do, But she was shaking in fear, thinking Alia would be mad at her for leaving without her permission.
"I will talk about that later. First tell me, Why is there this unconscious woman with you?"
Alia was in a good mood, So she ignored Rose's crime for now. What she was more concerned about was why there was an unconscious woman in the lift with her little sister.
Looking at it, This woman does not appear to be of normal origin. The cloak on this woman's body reminds her of something. She just can't put her finger on it.
'Wait!!! A woman!? She looks good, If she was a virgin then she is the best candidate for me to be punished. Let me check first.'
Alia suddenly has a light bulb moment as she looks at the face of an unconscious woman. She wanted to find a woman and look at her luck. She just got out of the room. She found one.
If Alex is having sex with some rando chick, It surely hurts her, right?
Looking at her, This woman should be in her early 30s, So Alex's chance of leaving me for her is negligible. So she decided that if this woman is a virgin then she will be the first test subject for her deserved punishment.
"Huh!? What woman Holy shi- *Ahem* I mean I don't know anything about this sister, I swear."
Rose didn't react to Alia's question, She looked at where Alia pointed, When she saw there was an unconscious woman with her in the elevator, She was startled and wanted to curse in surprise but quickly stopped herself, When she remembered that Alia was standing in front of her.
"Sister, Let's leave. It has to be a ghost. She was not there when I entered the elevator."
Rose quickly runs off the elevator and hides behind Alia, Poking her head out and looking at the woman laying inside the elevator floor.
Although Rose fears Alia too much, she still sees Alia as a big sister, So when she encounters a "ghost", She hides behind her.
"Stop being a dick and help me carry her to...Well, carry her to an underground area."
Alia didn't bother with Rose's reaction, She used Rose's habits. What Rosenis most afraid of is the supernatural things. Anytime she watches a scary movie, She somehow manages to find a way to sneak into her bed.
She gets tired of kicking her out of the room all night but she always sneaks in bed. In the end, she has to let Rose sleep in her bed. Even at those times her fear for Alia does not work at all.
So Alia let her be. What she was more interested in was whether this woman was virgin or not. She had to check it, So first she had to bring her to the underground then decide later what to do with her.
As for consent and such? Sorry she didn't about those things, All she cares about is her redemption for Alex, All other lives are now as worthless in her eyes as they were before.
In her mind this woman was looking like she belonged to the dark line of work, So she was sure that there would be no problem, No matter what she would do with this woman, Neither Alex or her going to have trouble because of it.
"Ok-Okay, But be careful, If it bites you. You will turn into a ghost, I seen it in movies"
Rose hesitantly walked into the elevator holding corner of Alias shirt keeping her eyes on the lying figure in the elevator.
"....."
Alia didn't watch many movies but even she knew that biting things are for zombies, not for ghosts, But he didn't bother with the stupidity of her sister, It's common occurrence for her.
She had to get her work done here quickly and join Alex and her mother, Before they were done doing it.
So she took out a black card from her jackets pocket and pushed it into the tiny slit below the number panel, Before she typed a series of numbers on the floor.
Then elevator started ro descend.
...
*Huff* *Huff* *Huff* *Huff*
Only panting and heavy breathing sound reverberated in the room as Alex was laying in the bed with the mother of Alia and Rose in her arms.
He is right now taking a slight break to let Helen recover first as when Alia was gone, He did it one more time with Helen, So right now he gives her some water, waiting for her to be ready to go once again.
