Chapter 60 Escape and Pursue

“No, I don't need it.” Veronica thought that Yvonne's pendant waspretty, but she still rejected her offer as she didn't know about its value.Plus, Xavier had gifted her a necklace prior to this, so she didn't needYvonne's.

“We have known each other for at least ten days. Do you dislike me thatmuch?” Standing before Veronica, Yvonne raised a brow as shequestioned if Veronica disliked her.

“I...” Veronica was rendered speechless, but she wasn't bothered toanswer her question as well.

However, Yvonne chuckled at her silence. “Your reaction tells me thatyou don't hate me. Come here, let me put this on you.”

“I'll do it myself.” Unable to resist her kindness, Veronica had no choicebut to accept it. As a person who disliked owing favors, Veronica thenremoved the necklace from her own neck and handed it to Yvonne.“Here. A gift in return.”

“Alright, thank you.” Yvonne accepted the necklace. And so, the duoexchanged necklaces.

Thereafter, Yvonne sat down next to Veronica and looked at her as shewhispered, “Now that we have exchanged presents, can you tell mewhat's your escape plan?”

She deliberately got close to her so that Veronica would take her alongwhen she escaped.

“There is no plan.” Veronica was still cold toward Yvonne, and theformer even lay on the bed lazily.

Yvonne, who seemed to have been used to his cold attitude, merelyreturned to her own bed and lay down.

Not long after that, a soft sound of the door being unlocked was heardfrom outside, and a mercenary entered their room.

When they had first met the mercenaries, all of them were dressed incamouflage uniforms, but they had changed into casual wear beforeboarding the ship to prevent attracting unnecessary attention.Presently, the mercenary brought their dinner in and placed it on thetable.

At that moment, Veronica sat up from her bed. Just as she was about tomake a move, she saw Yvonne suddenly rolling on the bed andshouting in pain. “Ah! it hurts! It really hurts!”

Her acting skills were beyond perfection, showing no signs that it wasmerely an act. Veronica couldn't help but twitch her lips and thought, Ireckon that this woman is actually an actress.

“What's wrong?” The mercenary walked up to Yvonne to check her out,but he suddenly felt someone poking him at his back.

When he looked back, he was greeted by a punch on his face. “Ah—damn it!"

The man took a step back in pain and knocked his head on Yvonne'ssteel bed frame. It was so painful that he held his head and cussed, butthe next second, he lifted his leg and threw a kick at Veronica's chest.The lady agilely tilted her body before catching his ankle with barehands. Then, she went along with the direction of the force and tookthe opportunity to land a kick on the man's groin.

The kick was thrown with full force as she aimed to at least paralyzehim with the attack.

“Ah!” The man cried out in agony. He was in so much pain that his faceturned red. With one hand covering his nether region, he lifted hisloose-fitting casual shirt with the other and drew a pistol from his backbefore aiming it at Veronica's head.

However, at that instant, Veronica revealed a profound smile. Sheavoided the muzzle and raised her hand to capture his wrist. With a pulland a twist, a creak sounded and the man yelped in pain. And so, thepistol in his hand fell from his hand.

Veronica caught the falling pistol and held it in her hand. Without evengiving a glance at the man who had fallen on his knees in agony, sheturned to her side and aimed the pistol in the direction of the door.The next second, the door burst open from outside and another manbarged in.

Bang! Bang! Veronica, who had the upper hand in terms of timing, firedtwo shots at both the man’s arms with her superb marksmanship. Hershots landed at where she had targeted without even missing by aninch.

The man, who had been shot, instantly lost his strength in both armsand the gun in his hand fell. Upon seeing that, she quickly fired twomore shots at his thigh.

The pistol that had been fitted with a silencer made only a soft sound,so nobody else heard the commotion. On top of that, Veronicamanaged to fully unleash her superior marksmanship, allowing her totake down the mercenaries guarding the door with both speed andaccuracy.

As the room was one that had been specially designed, not only wasthere no door handle in the room, but the door would close on its own.Fortunately, the mercenary that had collapsed to the floor happened toblock the entrance, stopping the door from closing.

Currently, the mercenary at the door was looking at Veronica inastonishment, an incredulous look on his face. “F*ck! Why are you soskillful with a gun?”

On the other hand, when the man who had been kicked in the crotchsaw the pistol that his partner had dropped on the floor, he pouncedforward to grab it.

Nonetheless, his speed was still no match for Veronica's.

The lady was seen stepping on the gun on the floor when she raisedher hand and fired another two more shots—one shot landed on hisonly good arm while the other landed on his leg.

“I'll fulfill your wish of wanting to get shot.” She coldly snorted, thenbent over to pick up the pistol before tucking both pistols behind herback.

Thereafter, she called out to Yvonne, who had fallen in a daze on thebed. “What are you waiting for? Come over and block the door. Howelse are we going to escape?

“What? Oh—okay.” Yvonne nodded repeatedly. She jumped off the bedand dashed toward the door to hold it open.

After that, she saw Veronica walking to the bed and pulling out a ropefrom underneath. The latter then walked up to the two men and putthem together before tying them up with their backs facing each other.“F*ck! Let go of me! I'll kill you!”

“You b*tch! Do you want to die?”

The men were so pissed that they cursed at her in their mothertongues.

In response, Veronica, who had been holding back her anger, gavethem a few tight slaps on their faces. “I don't know if I will die, but if thetwo of you say any more nonsense, I'll send both of you to hell!”

As she yelled, she removed her socks. She then gripped the chin of oneof the men and stuffed her socks into his mouth.

Then, she looked back at Yvonne and made eye contact with her.Yvonne swiftly responded by immediately removing her socks andthrowing them to Veronica.

Veronica frowned in disgust, but she still took the socks and stuffed itinto the mouth of another man who kept blabbering on

“Let's go!” Without saying anything more, she grabbed Yvonne by thehand and fled the room together, the door closing automaticallybehind them.

Yvonne followed Veronica from behind and looked at her in awe.“Goodness, your moves were so cool just now! Why didn’t you runaway before boarding the ship if you are such a good fighter?”

“If I had the chance to escape before I boarded the ship, do you thinkthat I would stay and suffer together with you?”

As a matter of fact, before they had boarded the ship, both girls weretied up and the five mercenaries had been together all the time. Plus,they had been wary of Veronica.

On top of that, everywhere that they had passed by were sparselypopulated open areas without anywhere to hide.

Therefore, the moment Veronica ran away, she would only end up aneasy target and have a bullet shot through her head.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have waited until this moment.

In the end, Yvonne asked curiously, “If you are so strong, why were youkidnapped when you were in the ambulance back then?”

“Clearly, I was outnumbered,” Veronica replied impatiently.

That day when she had come out from the hospital, she was faced witha bunch of fighters hired by the Larson Family. Although she had hadthe chance to escape, she had no choice but to put herself in danger inorder to get her hands on the evidence that the Larsons had attemptedto kidnap her again.

After that, she had easily taken down the few men and hopped off thevehicle.
