After driving for almost half an hour Daniella and Ken arrived at the ex-general military house.
"Ok " Daniella turned off the engine and looked at Ken.
"We can sneak in and throw a smoke grenade to knock out all the guards or we can burn one of the cars in the parking space and sneak in while everyone is busy. What do you think?" As she gave those options, Daniella's fingers were tapping on the steering wheels.
Upon hearing it Ken's face went flat, "what about we knock? Like a normal person?"
Daniella rose a brow "sure let's do that " her tone was sarcastic "well say - hi I am here to kill your boss would you escort me to him please?"
Irritation filled Ken's mind to hear her sarcastic reply "for the nth time I am not here to kill him" hands on his laps were clenching in frustration, a voice in his head was urging him to throw her in an active volcano and let her body burn inside.
"Whatever " Daniella pushed the door of the car opened and got off. She walked towards the gate and rang the bell.
Soon a man spoke from the speaker.
"Who are you?"
"I am one of your boss girlfriends. Would you let me in?" Daniella replied, making her voice sound seductive.
The gate opened and with that Daniella and Ken entered the place.
As they strolled towards the main door, Daniella noticed the men roaming around with heavy guns in their hands.
Daniella discreetly grabbed the smoke bomb from her handbag, she removed the pin and pretended to fix her shoes while she rolled the smoke bomb onto the ground.
When they entered the house, few servants were cleaning around, it seemed like there had been a party in there given all the drunk people laying in every corner and the bottles and dirt around.
"he's upstairs " Daniella said.
She watched him as he walked past her and when she got a chance, she rolled one of the smoke grenades onto the ground discreetly.
She ran to Ken upstairs and when they reached the second floor, they both wondered in which room the general must be.
"Left, the last door" Daniella whispered while handing him a surgical mask so he wouldn't sniff the smoke later.
"What is this for?" Ken asked.
"Just wear it. I can't carry you if you pass out" she said and held the door knob of the master bedroom.
"Why would I pass out?"
Daniella flattened her by Ken's question, she didn't have the energy to answer them.
"Just wear it once you see the smoke around ok?"
Ken snubbed her and pretended that he didn't hear any word she just said.
Silence came in between them, wondering who would open the door of the master bedroom.
"Are we waiting for Christmas here?" Daniella blurted with wide eyes.
Without replying, Ken pushed the door open, he stepped inside until he reached the bed while Daniella was tailing him.
He halted and when he did Daniella bumped her face on his back and a slight groan let out from her lips.
"Why did you stop?" Daniella asked massaging her nose.
"We're done here" Ken said.
"Why?" curiosity etched into Daniella's mind as she wondered why he suddenly wanted to leave but before she could even peek, Ken had turned around and pushed her body towards the door.
"What is happening Mr. Chu?" She asked
With his voice, colder than ever before he replied, "he's dead so we should leave."
Hearing that, Daniella's eyes swelled like a ball and immediately looked back.
There she saw Peyton's father in the bed with his mistress, both were dead from gunshots.
Daniella's body stiffened staring at the corpses, she knew that he's still alive when they arrived in the south since she caught him on the CCTV footage, she hacked from one of the streets.
Something was wrong, she realized it.
'Was someone trying to set us up?' Daniella contemplated.
'No, that's impossible, no one knows that we were coming.'
Her thoughts were disturbed when she suddenly felt her body floating in the air, right there she realized that Ken had already carried her and descended down the stairs.
Her nose wrinkled from the pain in her stomach, Ken was carrying her with one arm in his side like she's some kind of pillow.
She knew that she was light, her weight was below to what she should have so Ken didn't have a hard time carrying her but the way he carried her has made her feel uncomfortable.
"Put me down!" she yelled at him.
When she saw that they were reaching the stairs, her face went pale.
She gulped hard and prayed that Ken wouldn't lose his balance or else they would be rolling down to the stairs together.
Ken dropped her body like a sack at the backseat while he went to the driver seat and drove away at full speed. His face was darker than the night.
"Who are you?" Ken yelled at the woman at the backseat trying to balance herself.
"Why?" Daniella asked.
"What happened there? Why is he dead?" saying that he turned the steering wheel on the side while his foot pressed the brake.
The sudden stop of the car has made Daniella completely lose her balance and bump her face at the back of the passenger seat.
Feeling the pain on her face, Daniella sat back and glared at Ken through the rearview mirror.
"I am not his killer so don't ask me" Daniella yelled back.
Ken pumped a fist on the steering wheels repeatedly, with an angry broken roar he said "God! Woman! You are seriously driving me crazy! The deal is off!" he got down from the driver seat and opened the door of the backseat, "get out! I am not driving back with you."
Upon hearing that , Daniella's eyes narrowed, she looked up to meet his eyes through the open space of the car door.
She pressed her lips together as she read that he meant what he had just said. She knew that if she should come out, he would leave her in a place like this, which was in the middle of the high-speed road she would have a hard time finding a car that would take her in.
Slowly her body moved out of the car. As she stood behind him, she tiptoed and hit the back of his neck causing him to pass out.
Her eyes swelled when she heard his head hitting the door of the car, with her lips twitching indifferently she mumbled "sorry" and used all her force to push his body in the backseat.
Out of breath, she gasped for air as she closed the door, she sat in the driver seat and drove away praying that Ken would be sleeping throughout the eight hours drive.
