The Revenge of the Injured Woman
Larry Cox

Inside the spacious and luxurious room, a man was sitting on the sofa holding a laptop. His tanned, slightly elongated hair was left to fall between the ears. While his hazel-colored eyes can not be separated from the picture of women on the laptop screen.

"Athana Morgan, your courage is immense, comparable to your lofty ambitions. But, you often do not realize that ambition can make negligent and careless. If it stays that way, you'll be wretched for a long time." The man's sensual lips murmured softly, at first glance also stalling a smile as he looked at Athana's frightened-looking face.

He is Larry Cox. The man is sturdy and handsome. With hazel eyes and a sharp nose, it is very compatible with his jaw which is overgrown with fine hairs. At a glance, many women who fell in charm. However, if he knew what Larry's true nature was like, his admiration would turn into fear.

Although not a hitman like Athana, nor is he the leader of a dark organization like Johan, but Larry has a role that is no less terrible.

Ever since Mike and Johan sent Athana to another dimension, he has started staging. He hacked the security system at Red and stole a lot of classified information within that organization. No exception today, he deliberately messed up their computer network, so that the CCTV footage on the lower floor could only be accessed by himself alone.

When Larry was still engrossed in the face of Athana who was starting to pias, the door of the room was knocked from outside. Larry tells him to come in, and it turns out that the one who came in was Mir—his right hand.

"Mr Larry, Red's been in touch with us. They will carry the money and weapons as we ask" Mir said.

"good. Just give me this address and get Johan himself to come see me," Larry replied with a sly smile.

"If they refuse, sir?"

"Tell me, Jessy's gonna die."

After getting an answer from the boss, Mir exited the room and delivered the message he received. Meanwhile, Larry gets up from his seat and picks up the phone. He called someone who also works at Red.

"Hello, Larry, what's up?" greet a man who was once a friend of Larry.

"Maybe there will soon be an important event there. I'm asking for your help, please protect Athana!" larry said firmly.

There was a rough gasp of breath from across there, while the answer did not come even though Larry had waited a long time.

"You don't want to help me?" guess Larry. From the beginning his friend was indeed siding with Red, although some time ago had a little betrayal.

"Larry, I've told you many times, I don't want to interfere in your affairs with Mr. Johan. I work for him, my family lives happily thanks to him. He is evil to you, but to me he is like an angel. Once enough I help you, as my sympathizer as a friend. Now, please don't drag me again."

Larry clucked in annoyance upon hearing a very long answer, which was simply a rejection.

"Well if that's what you want, I don't push anymore. But, one thing you should know. Athana's death had no effect whatsoever on my plans. If he really dies, I can still destroy Red with a rough path. It's just .. I can't guarantee you'll live if that's the case" Larry said casually.

"Larry, you___"

"The choice is in your hands, my friend" Larry concluded.

"Tell me what I can do!"

Larry smiled when he heard his friend's answer. The man had indeed become the backbone of the family, so it must be rethinking to endanger lives. What will be the fate of his family if he dies?

"Not much, just protect Athana. You know, now Johan's starting to get suspicious of her. Now he's locked up in the basement, and Johan must have found out about him. Your job is to protect her and make Johan sure that Athana never betrays you!" larry said that was immediately approved by his interlocutor.

"Okay, I'll do it. Mmm but, Larry ... Miss Jessy's fine, right?"

Larry let out a long breath, "I'm not involved in Jessy's disappearance."

"I'm not sure. You want revenge, right? This must be part of your plan."

Actually, it is not one hundred percent wrong what he said. Jessy's death has nothing to do with her. He simply seizes the opportunity to trap Johan, while saving Athana.

"As far as you are. I just want to remind you, Jessy is an important person for Mr. Johan. If you hurt her, something bad will happen that you never imagined. I admit you are great, but you are alone, while the Red members are countless. You think you're really capable of fighting Lord Johan? Larry, before putting emotions forward, once think about your own situation. Although I'm on Mr. Johan's side, I don't want you to have anything bad either."

"I get. You take it easy, nothing bad will happen to me" Larry replied, ending the call.

"Although friend, but you're on the other side. So I'm sorry that I have so many secrets hidden from you" Larry murmured.

Meanwhile, in the basement Athana curled up while leaning her back against the bars. The pace of the move is getting closer and closer, and Athana has not found a way to dodge or maybe fight back.

"What should I do" inward Athana. His mind was dead-end due to a huge fear.

"Where is Edward?"

Although still overwhelmed with anxiety, but Athana ventured to get up when she heard a firm and heavy voice. The voice belonged to Johan. The man came to him with two men.

Athana frowned at a glance. He wondered why Johan asked for Edward's whereabouts, while the CCTV was clearly installed and definitely kept a trace of the incident earlier.

"Athana!"

"Sorry, Sir. But, isn't Edward up yet?" Athana lowered her head and tried to speak calmly, though she knew that the lie would be easy for Johan to read.

"You sure?" Johan asked again.

"Of course, sir. After locking this door, he left and went back upstairs."

Johan rubbed his face violently. Although Athana's answer is dubious, but when glancing to and fro he did not find the figure of Edward. In addition, he also saw handcuffs on Athana's hands. With that thing, it was impossible for him to fight Edward.

"Give me your phone!" Johan's orders.

Athana has trouble swallowing. For now, he had to refuse Johan's orders. If not, then everything can be revealed. Unknown numbers often send messages at certain times. If it reads Johan, then he's finished.

"You don't want to give it up?" asked Johan with a sharp look.

While Athana was still coughing for the sake of buying time to find an excuse, someone came in a hasty step. He half ran down the stairs and faced Johan.

"Sir, the kidnapper has contacted and gave a clear address. But ... they ask you yourself who came there. If not, then Miss Jessy will die."

Athana turned her back when she heard the report of Johan's subordinates.

"Jessy's going to die. But, did I kill him?" his inner.
