Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Negotiation to Free

Claudia deliberately whispered when greeting her husband over the telephone so that the door guards would not notice. Even though her body was currently very weak due to not being fed and her body had been given injections of nerve-dampening drugs, she still had to act tough so as not to panic her husband.

"Claudia, where are you?"

"I don’t know. What is certain is that I was kidnapped by the tattooed man I met at the restaurant at that time. He was also the perpetrator who took me hostage during the hostage incident."

"I thought it was that person who did it."

"You knew from the start?"

"Actually, I also only found out at midnight. I think of all the people who have a grudge against you."

"I was really scared to see that person, Harry. He wants me to sign a contract to transfer the hotel property to him. I deliberately delayed two days."

"You don’t have much time now, Claudia! Try to think carefully! What did you feel when you were in that place? For example, the smell or the sound?"

Claudia squinted, focusing on hearing the sound of water splashing from outside and the trees moving in the wind. "I heard what sounded like the sound of ocean waves."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I heard it last night. Then, this smell is salty, but not the smell of blood."

"I think I know your current location, Claudia. Hang in there a little longer. I will pick you up now."

"But, you can? Don’t bring a lot of people here."

"I won’t invite anyone."

"Are you crazy?"

The phone call was immediately disconnected. Claudia put her cell phone in her blazer pocket and then continued her charade of pretending to have menstrual pain. However, on the one hand, she was very worried about Harry who came to save her without inviting anyone. One against three will Harry be the winner?

Just in time, Claudia ended the conversation with her husband on the telephone. Two doormen entered this empty room carrying several pieces of cloth. Claudia immediately took the pieces of cloth, then waved her right hand.

"You guys want to see me wear it?!" Claudia snapped.

The two door guards immediately left the room awkwardly.

Late in the afternoon, the assassin summoned two of his bodyguards to his private room. The killer was sipping whiskey while staring at the contract paper that had not yet been signed.

"How is that woman? Has she given up?"

"This afternoon she asked us for sanitary napkins," said the fat man.

"Bandage? Is she menstruating?"

"She said so. She kept holding her stomach and complaining that she had menstrual pain."

"Then, what did you give her earlier?"

"We gave her pieces of used cloth. It’s impossible for us not to prepare anything and let–"

"No need to explain further!" The assassin hit the table and smiled psychopathically. "Wait a moment! If she continues to rebel, you can abuse her. Isn’t that what you guys wanted all along?"

"But, how long do we have to wait?"

"When it gets dark, I will come to her again with the contract letter. If she still doesn’t want to sign it, you can do anything to her."

On the other hand, Harry was driving his sedan at speed while looking at the map on the car dashboard which would lead him to where his wife was being held. In his heart he continued to pray that his wife would still be fine when they met later.

If he looked at the navigation map, the journey was quite long. Harry could estimate that the time he would spend on the journey would be around three hours, especially considering the quite serious traffic jam he was currently facing.

drrt...drrt...

Seeing Thomas’ name displayed on the car dashboard, Harry immediately picked up the phone call.

"Thomas, what are you calling me for?"

"Where are you now? I went to your house earlier but there was no one."

"I’m going to save my wife now."

"Are you crazy? You want to fight them all alone?"

Harry’s eyes fell on a gun placed on the car seat. "I have a gun. Don’t worry, they will definitely lose if they don’t have weapons."

"But, still–"

"You forgot I am the cruelest man? The matter of saving my woman, let me handle it myself. You just close your mouth and don’t let anyone find out about this incident, including the police."

"Why have you gone this far, Harry? You will actually endanger your life too."

"Because I don’t want anyone other than my wife to know my real problem."

*****

It is late. Claudia increasingly felt her body becoming weak because she was no longer able to hold back her thirst and hunger. Moreover, she hasn’t urinated since yesterday. What was in her mind now was that she wanted someone to take the initiative to save her. It didn’t matter whether it was Vivian or Harris who saved her, what was certain was that she wanted to be free from this room which made her breathing even more difficult.

Seeing the murderous figure coming back to her with a piece of contract paper, Claudia started to get scared. It can be concluded that the killer will break her promise to speed up the time to kill her.

"So, you’ve thought this through carefully?"

Claudia smiled sarcastically. "Don’t I still have time until tomorrow?"

The assassin lifted Claudia’s chin forcefully. "Is one day still not enough to think about?"

"You were the one who broke your promise first! Didn’t we agree yesterday that we would give me two days? You think this is easy to do?"

The assassin looked at his two guards. "What are you waiting for? Quickly give her medicine!"

Claudia screamed when she was forced to swallow a drug capsule, then her legs and arms were held by the killer and a thin man. The fat man injected a brown liquid into Claudia’s legs, making Claudia feel even hotter.

"What did you give me just now?!"

"Arsenic-type drug. Slowly your nerves will be paralyzed. But, don’t worry, there is an antidote if you want to obey."

"No!" Claudia snapped, crying crazily.

The assassin immediately pushed two of his guards away. "Take off this woman’s clothes!"
