Decision You Make
Chapter 14 - Stop Your Empty Nonsense

Erine was still crying. Damian occasionally patted her on the shoulder, but now her focus was on the monitor screen in front of her.

Along with the police officers beside him, Netra Damian catches a black car entering the road that is headed by a girl with her purple hair.

Afterwards, a man with white hair followed. Seeing that Erine exclaimed, "it's Vincent! She, she's one of the people that went with me!"

The police officer nodded slowly. Before long, the monitor displayed a scene as a black car speeding off the road. Although the video accelerated to twenty minutes after the black car left, the two men were nowhere to be seen.

"Chairman, this is really a fabric with dope. It looks like this was used to capture their target," one of the other police officers entered the room and reported his search results.

The Chairman, who was in the room and observed the monitor, said, "the security. Anything else you find?"

The police officer who was asked a question nodded firmly. "Yes, Chief. In the footage of one of the places, we found the same black car. When viewed from the direction of speeding, it looks like it leads to the edge of the city, or the road that is usually passed if you want to go to the nearest village," he explained everything he found.

Hearing the police officer's report, the Chairman immediately lowered the order:

"Do a search around the area!"

Damian continued to stare at the monitor with a complicated look, Erine who had calmed down a bit also looked at Damian.

Looking at Damian's gaze, Erine asked, "is everything going to be okay?"

Got a question that Erine had repeated dozens of times, Damian remained patient and replied, "yes, everything will be ..."

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"... That's fine!"

Chloe looked at Vincent unsure.

"Are you sure?" Chloe asked doubtfully.

"Yes, very sure. Believe me, this is important" replied Vincent putting on a serious face.

"All right ..."

Despite doubts Chloe reached out her hand, opening Vincent's jacket.

Chloe stopped her actions and pulled her hand once she finished her actions even though she felt confused.

Seeing the confused Chloe, Vincent was confused as well. The two looked awkwardly. Chloe is confused because there is nothing special in Vincent's clothes, and Vincent is confused to see Chloe stop.

"Um, my point is, please open this shirt too," Vincent's explanation left Chloe in shock.

"Ah?? Vin, you understand the situation now, right? I don't think it's the right time to" Chloe didn't finish her sentence and turned her head the other way, feeling like this wasn't worth saying.

"For what?" Vincent is getting confused.

"No, no, I mean why do you want me to undress you?"

"Oh, just say daritadi. Ekhm, Chloe certainly knows if I want to protect Chloe, right. So when I left, I had something in my clothes ready. Even though it turns out I passed out before I even helped Chloe."

Puffs!

It felt Chloe's face immediately boiling. What was I thinking?

Shamefully Chloe ooh ria and lifted Vincent's shirt.

What, what the fuck?!

Two knives with the lid tucked in a special black cloth were wrapped around Vincent's stomach. But that's not what surprised Chloe. But a body full of bruises that have turned blue.

How bad are those people treating them? Not to mention, they still dared to do this despicable deed?

Vincent feels Chloe's movement has stopped. Ask him, "Chloe? What's up?"

Chloe's back to reality.

"It's okay," he answered briefly before grabbing one of the knives and opening it. Walk up to Vincent's back and use the knife to break the rope that tightly tied the man's hand.

Damnit damnit! It's tough!

Chloe said slowly, this rope is hard to cut! Chloe's hand was flushed red from being too strong to grasp the knife and rope.

A little more, just a little more! And ...

Tuk..

Knife dropped.

'Successful,' thought Chloe relieved.

Vincent who felt his wrist had been freed immediately pulled him. He moved his nearly numb hand. There's a red scar due to the rope tie.

Standing up from her place, Chloe walked towards her sling bag.

There's nothing in it. Those people have taken all the contents.

Vincent suddenly said, "Chloe, look what this is gonna do."

"Where?" Chloe looked at Vincent. The man stuck out his hand, showing a match he got from a pile of containers with blue cream.

Looking at the match, an idea popped into the girl's head.

"I thought of a plan. But it's gonna be dangerous, are you ready?"

——

"Yeah!! Please, there's a fire here!!"

Screeching cries made the birds fly from their places. Even the five men who were conversing jumped up in shock.

"Hey, why is he yelling?" A man with a familiar face asked.

The burly man ignored him, stood up and walked towards the cage and opened the door, shouting, "what's up here"

But he stopped his words as soon as he saw the flames licking the sky. At first the blaze had only devoured a haystack, but in the next second it instantly snatched another pile that had been aligned on purpose.

As soon as he woke up, the burly felt panicked. The other people outside the cage also felt panicked. But the burly man took possession of himself and cried out to rule.

"Wait what else, quickly grab some water, you idiot!"

The atmosphere was clouded by the fog as soon as the fire started to grow, while the people were carrying buckets of water, trying to put out the fire.

As long as they were busy putting out the fire, they were unaware of the two figures who were slumping around, looking for the right moment.

The fire was already unable to scatter the other hay that had been wet, and the fire was almost extinguished, but everyone was exhausted after running back and forth to fetch water and then water it before returning to fetch water and repeating his actions. Their energy is almost gone.

"Now is the time, Miss!"

The skinny one who was gasping for breath after running around, was unaware of the existence of someone sneaking behind him.

But before he even realized it, a hand pulled a chain necklace that hung freely around his neck.

KHEUK

He wanted to scream, but another hand covered his mouth and nose. It smelled a foul smell of dirt from that hand, making it involuntarily hold its breath. Unfortunately the owner of the hand twisted his chain necklace and strengthened his pull. He lost consciousness and collapsed.

Bruck..

Meanwhile, the forward tooth unintentionally saw the figure of the woman who gripped tightly one of his friends, about to shout:

"How can-"

THE DUAKH!

BAM!

A sling bag floated up, smashing into the head of the advancing tooth and resulting in him fainting instantly. Behind him, the white-haired man stood upright while upholding a sling bag that was quite heavy.

Although the man himself was floating the sling bag, but his face showed a dumbfounded expression.

It turns out it's effective!

Vincent glanced at the sling bag in his hand, it contained several stones. The stench was somewhat smelled, indeed because there were not many stones here he was forced to put in some dirt that had hardened.

"Vincent, lookout!!"

Chloe's screams made Vincent turn his head. From the end of his eyes he could see someone darting closer to him.

Be late.

BUGH!

The burly one who noticed Vincent's whereabouts immediately raised his fist. Undeniably, the burly man was indeed strong. Although Vincent avoided it, the blow was painful. Luckily Vincent was still able to stand.

The burly man did not stop there, preparing to launch another attack.

HUK - KHOKKH

The movement of the burly stopped.

The burly neck is suffocating. It was Chloe, who was trying to hold the burly with the chain necklace she got from the skinny one. At least because she herself was tall, Chloe could easily reach the burly neck.

Without asking Chloe immediately let go of her giggling and dodged to the side.

Vincent felt the distance was safe enough that he ran forward while floating the sling bag, right towards the burly head.

THE DUAKK!

Dukes..

Dukes..

Some stones fell from the bag as soon as it hit the burly head. Freely roll on the ground.

The burly man cannot keep his balance. His head turned, before he finally collapsed on the haystack. Put out a small fire that has not been exposed to water.

Vincent's breath was puffing. His hand released the handle on the sling bag.

"Well!! We did it, Miss!" Blaze shouted in excitement, circling in the air.

Chloe ignored him, approached Vincent and asked worriedly, "hey, is your arm okay? Are there any open wounds?"

Vincent held onto his left arm which was still wrapped by his jacket and shook his head softly, "no open wounds, just a little bit of pain" he explained.

Chloe looked at the three people who had fainted.

"How now? We're leaving?" Ask without taking his eyes off.

Vincent thought for a moment. It might be better if they relax for a while longer.

The atmosphere felt lonely, too quiet until Vincent could hear the sound of footsteps nearby.

Vincent quickly turned his body around, that was when a rock shot past him. Sliding from the hands of a stranger.

THE DUAK!

Akh!

"Cloe!" Vincent cried out in panic, regret enveloping him. If only he hadn't dodged, maybe he could have dispelled the stone.

Chloe felt pain in her back.

'Shit, what's this thing called by the stone?' Chloe complains.

"Miss!! Is Miss okay?" Blaze approached Chloe anxiously.

Vincent himself was just about to run towards the girl who was stuck on the ground, when someone suddenly just held her body.

"John! Unhand me!" Vincent shouted loudly at the perpetrator who was holding his body. But the man behind her just smiled cynically and strengthened his grip.

Meanwhile, Fred walks over to Chloe who is trying to get up. Pulling her hair and saying, "i'm lucky. At least my throw can hit you even if it misses at first."

"You-let her go, keep your filthy hands off her, damn it!"

Hearing Vincent's curse, Fred turned his head in shock.

"Oh, where did you get that courage? It's surprising, "of course Fred didn't obey Vincent's orders. In fact, he increasingly pulled the girl's hair with a playful smile.

"Suckers! Are you deaf?!" Vincent raised his voice, growing angry.

Fred again smiled cynically and lightly lifted Chloe's body. His hand thrust a knife into the front of the girl's neck.

"Be quiet, if you don't want something to happen by accident" Fred threatened to bring the knife closer.

Looking at Vincent who was instantly silent, Fred continued his words.

"Your fate is very unfortunate. Though our target is only this girl, but you got hit too. Well, I don't mind, once the oars of two three islands are surpassed, right?" Babe Fred teasing.

Chloe herself felt her body weaken and limp. Asks Blaze, "Blaze, what happened? My powers seem to disappear ..."

"Ahh, Miss!! Blessing system will disappear in ten minutes! Please, hang on, miss!" Blaze said frantically as soon as he realized the remaining time limit.

Chloe felt more and more pain in her back. If only he hadn't been held back by Fred, perhaps his body would have instantly degenerated.

'Relax, Chloe. Think of a plan, you don't have much time left, ' Chloe's mind tries to calm down.

While behind him Fred kept blabbering.

"Aren't you tired, just being a disgusting rat? Oh, poor Vincent. But I'm also happy if you keep quiet like that."

Vincent remained silent. He didn't want Fred to go to extremes just because he opened his mouth.

"Hmm? Ah, it's less fun too if you just shut up. Try, say something," Fred said.

Vincent is prepared to say something, obey Fred's orders.

"What made you do this?"

Fred speechless. Laughter soon filled the room.

"Hahahaha, are you asking such a trivial thing? Heh, like there's nothing else you can say."

"But let me tell you why I'm doing all this. What excuses? I'm pissed off with you, YOU IDIOT! Looked at you like that, you think you can take someone else's property, SO? Because of you, I've always been compared. Being humiliated for your flaws is painful. Why they're all so bad-"

"Stop your bullshit."

Fred stopped the talking. Seeing the girl in front of him interject his words, made him angry.

"Miss, don't talk! He could've moved the knife!" Blaze panicked.

But Chloe had no intention of stopping. "That's why you're making an excuse? How sad! Only a fool has the ability to think like you. It's ridiculous that you're saying an excuse that doesn't even have anything to do with your treatment, at ALL."

The three people were stunned to hear Chloe's words. The three people certainly had different reactions. John is shocked, Vincent is moved, and Fred is angry.

Chloe did not intend to pay attention to such a trivial matter. He looked at the netra Vincent firmly, carrying determination in his gaze. The time left for the use of his strength was only five minutes away. If missed, Chloe might not be able to move her body because she is tired.

It's hazardous. There is no time to be quiet like this.

"Therefore, Vin. Don't mind me and fight him!!" Chloe shouted resolutely, reviving Vincent's spirit.

Without any further delay Vincent immediately stomped on John's feet hard.

AARGHH!

John shouted loudly. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Vincent immediately detached and turned around before kicking John right between his legs.

Kracks..

Vincent can overshadow the imaginary voice in his head. Feeling somewhat horrified by his own actions. But John didn't completely fall, he could still fight back.

Seeing the unfortunate situation, Fred shouted anxiously:

"Stop moving!! Or this knife will touch the girl's neck in-"

Chloe doesn't let Fred talk any further and disturbs Vincent's concentration. Without fear Chloe held the knife in front of her neck and pulled her hand to the side.

As soon as Fred's hand was within his reach, he immediately bit the skinny hand with his canine teeth.

Fred felt those sharp teeth pierce his skin. Immediately pulled his hand with a pained expression.

Seeing Fred drop his knife Chloe no longer held back.

Chloe opened her legs shoulder-width apart. Using his left hand to grab the collar of his opponent, while his right hand firmly gripped Fred's left hand.

Fred felt his feet begin to leave the ground. Even before she had the chance to react, Chloe had already slammed her body hard.

Thud..

There was no screaming in pain. Fred instantly lost consciousness the moment his body hit the surface of the earth.

Chloe's breathing. The remaining two minutes before he lost all his strength.

On the other hand, Vincent managed to knock down John. John's defence is strong enough, it's difficult if Vincent wants to knock him out with just one punch. The kick he did before was very helpful to the fight.

Vincent no longer cared about John. He ran as soon as he saw Chloe running away.

"Lookie! Chloe is okay?"

Chloe shook her head slowly. Gather the remaining energy to pull out a few sentences, "Vin, come .. go, take mere.ka. Me, fine ..."

The sentence came to a halt as soon as Chloe lost consciousness. Vincent shook Chloe's body in a panic.

"Chloe's? Chloe's! Realize, please, can you hear me?!"

The girl's face was pale, blood kept flowing from the knife cut on her right hand.

Even Blaze couldn't do anything more.
