‘Something is definitely wrong!’ Gerald thought to himself as he watched the big-haired man and the woman get out of their car.
“Hey, now! How could you people be like this? These roadblocks clearly shouldn’t be here! I demand we start over!” scowled Tulip, feeling cheated.
“But of course, Miss Tulip Yowell! You’re the second young lady of the Yowell family, after all… We can start over as many times as you please!” replied the big-haired man as he laughed loudly.
“…You… How do you know my name?” asked Tulip, finally realizing that something was wrong.
“Humph! Just get out of the car already, miss! Don’t trouble us any more than you need to!” shouted the big-haired man as he pulled his wig off, revealing his bald head!
Following that, he took a gun out, aiming it at Tulip before roaring, “Didn’t you hear what I said? Get out, now!”
Seeing the gun, Tulip immediately went pale in fright. It was then when she understood that she was getting kidnapped again.
Raising both her hands to show that she was harmless, she then slowly got out of the car.
Once she was out, the woman revealed her own gun as the bald man shouted, “Wren, go kill that other guy! After he’s dead, report to Old A that we’ve captured her and tell him to take over from here immediately!”
“Got it!” replied the woman with a nod as she walked toward the shotgun seat.
However, when she peered through the window, she was left stunned. Raising her head to look at the bald man, she then said, “…Dominic… There’s nobody in there.”
“What? We all saw him enter the car earlier, right?” replied Dominic as he dragged Tulip along with him toward Wren’s side.
Peering inside, it appeared that she was right. Gerald had completely disappeared!
“How odd! He couldn’t have just vanished in broad daylight!” said the bald man in astonishment.
As he continued wondering where Gerald could possibly have gone to, out of the blue, a voice from behind the bald man shouted, “I-I’ll try my best to fight you!”
Hearing that, Dominic turned around immediately… Only to be greeted by a large stone!
“F*cking hell! We were already so close just now! How did things end up failing? Who the hell saved her?!”
“Do we pursue after them, boss?”
“F*ck that! There are too many people at the foot of the mountain! Do you want to die that much? If you don’t, then bring these two useless people along with us! We’re leaving!”
Meanwhile, Tulip was beginning to admire Gerald slightly as she said, “D*mn, sir! You were so cruel earlier!”
“If I hadn’t been, then we’d both be dead by now!” replied Gerald as he thought about what could’ve happened if he wasn’t in the car with her.
“Still, something just doesn’t add up, sir!” said Tulip as she seemed to recall something.
“What do you mean?”
“Well, back when I stepped out of the car, I’m fairly certain that you were still sitting beside me! How could you have just appeared behind the two kidnappers earlier?”
