Surviving As The Villainess
Chapter 18 - The Bombing Incident

At Ravenray's residence, Zion is seen spending her time in the library. From morning he was in the library, accompanied by thousands of books on the shelves and some books he picked up and put on the table. Zion sat by a large french window with plain white curtains. Sunlight can enter well because the window glass is clear, making Zion's face illuminated by the light.

Occasionally, Zion's voice turned the pages of the book slowly. The atmosphere in this place is very nice, calm and peaceful. Somehow time had passed for what, but Zion finally put the book she had read on top of the pile of other books that she had also finished reading. Zion stretched her body which felt a little stiff because she had been sitting in the library since this morning. As a member of the elite family, Zion did not need to go all the way to read books. Every month, the waiter will order new books and also order special books if there is a request. This makes everything easier. Zion who does not like to waste time on unimportant things feels good to be born in this family.

Actually lately, Zion's mind is filled with problems that arise in the past year. Problems regarding accidents that continue to occur around elite families. At first he thought all of this was just a coincidence, but his heart felt that something was a little stuck. Although he does not know what it is, he is sure that the accident that occurred in the past year has hidden intentions.

Zion stood up from her seat carrying a book she had not read and left the other book at the table. Near the door of the library was a special guard for the library. The guard works to organize the library and make a list of any books that go in and out.

"Please give me back the book at the table." Said Zion in a monotone voice.

Although it sounded very flat, the library guards could hear a commanding voice.

"Okay, Young Master." Reply to the library guard politely. After all, cleaning up the books is also his job. He couldn't possibly refuse because just by organizing the library in the Ravenray residence alone, he had already earned a huge salary. Yeah, really a rich family.

Zion's footsteps sounded very smooth because she was currently wearing home-furry slippers. We can see his shadow reflected on the floor made of marble. With a resolute and authoritative move, Zion returned to her room.

Zion pressed the elevator button to the second floor, where her room was.

DING

The elevator door opened, Zion exited the elevator and walked through a long corridor. Around it there are a lot of vintage paintings that add to the impression of elegance.

Arriving in the room, he put the book he had brought from the library to the study table in his room and then he walked to the bookshelf beside his mattress and tilted a book. Suddenly the bookshelf moved, revealing an empty room behind it. Zion walked into the room, not forgetting that she had returned the bookshelf position as before. The bookcase is a secret door that will open automatically if the button is pressed, in this case the book that Zion was tilting there is a button to open and a button to close is behind the wall to the right of Zion.

After closing, Zion turned on the lights to make the room bright. When everything is bright, we can see a lot of newspaper pieces that contain cases over the past year. The pieces, Zion's sticking them against the wall and it looks like an investigation. There are scribbles of red ink in some cases of accidents and there are also some attached sticky notes yellow boxes. The latest case in the middle is the Havelian Park bombing that killed hundreds. It was quite shocking news because Havelian Park only opened about 3 weeks ago.

In the middle of the room, there is a work chair and also a table facing the pieces of the newspapers and on the table there are red markers and yellow sticky notes.

Since childhood, Zion has an unusually strong instinct about many things. Therefore, it is not strange if he who is 27 years old in the game is able to become a young President. What was currently on the wall, was the result of his instincts as well as the little investigation he had done. There are some important points he can get from collecting all the cases that have happened over the past year, that is, someone deliberately targeted an elite family living in Elisien and also deliberately sabotaged them until there were many cases of accidents.

However, for the time being, the investigation he had conducted could not be proven.

***

In a small dark alley in the city of Elisien, a man is seen panting.

"Haaa.. huh... huff..."

Clique

The sound of the revolver gun was released. The man who was breathing heavily again ran, but his legs were not strong and made him fall. His heart was racing faster, his brain was no longer able to think anymore because he felt very panicked and scared. He doesn't want to die, he wants to stay alive. That's what he can think of right now.

"I'm sorry." Said pleading. He was standing before someone who was chasing him.

The man was carrying a black revolver. His clothes looked very neat and his shoes were made of leather. In his left hand was a black and gold Patek Philippe watch. He has a fairly high body proportion, probably about 185 cm and a fairly field chest. Because the suit he wears according to his size, we can know that the person must be diligent in exercising and taking care of his body to stay healthy.

"Say who sent you." Her speech. He was still standing under the shadow, making his face invisible.

"I don't know."

DOR

"Well..." Shouted the man who was prostrating was shocked. Fortunately the bullet was not directed at him, but to the ground next to him as a warning sign.

"Really, I don't know. That guy just told me to put a bomb in that place."

"Why was the place targeted?"

The man looked up a little, trying to see the face of the person who had been chasing him since, but he immediately lowered his head again after seeing the look in the eyes of that person who was so cold and scary. All his life, he had never met someone who had such an eye gaze.

"The man said, there was a boy who went to that place."

"Say more specific."

"I don't know who he means, really."

The gunshot was heard again, the man was screaming in pain because his leg had just been shot. Although he was moaning in pain, the person before him right now only had a flat face, he did not feel the slightest guilt of shooting himself.

The man holding the gun took his smartphone in his pants pocket. He tried to find a message from someone, but could not find it. Since a week ago, he had been unable to contact that person after he had gone abroad. He was worried but could do nothing.
