446: Two Blades

Two Blades

  Harvey was sitting at the back of the sedan. He peeked out the window of the car, it was raining and they are currently in a dark alley. He sighed as he faced the camera again. 

"Sir?" Leon looked at him from the rear mirror. "I don't know why you know about this." 

"Dragon tipped me." 

"And~~" he zipped his mouth and tapped the steering wheel while waiting for the time. They listened to very low music while the rain was pattering on the car. They heard gunshots but they remained cool as Harvey checked the time. He then rotated the drone to watch as Johanna jumped from the walls to walls, circling her blades swiftly to kill every guard. 

"She's savage," Harvey mumbled. 

"What about this stone?" Leon turned his head to him. 

"This stone is dangerous. It has a mythical background that's why Dragon called me. It was part of some~~some magic stuff. I bet that science can explain it since that stone has a lot of chemicals that could destroy a thing." 

"Mythical?" He creased his brows. "Do you believe in such a thing?" 

"I don't. But since it's from the Dragon. I can't say no." 

"So we steal it?" 

"Nope." Harvey sighed as she continued watching Johanna killing a herd of people. "Tsk." He sighed. "Let's go." 

"What about, Jo?" 

"She needs to negotiate." 

  Leon hesitated but it will be better if they are out of the area. Or else, they will face a very dangerous thing. 

"Johanna was fascinating," Harvey mumbled as he continued to watch her. But he moved the drone away since the rain was pouring. They went to their hotel room where Andromeda was sitting and busy eating. 

"Yo!" Leon was startled when she turned to them since she was wearing an oversize hoodie while eating. It was also dark in the room and there was a small light from the television. "You scared me!" 

"Hmm," Andromeda sipped on her soda. "How is it?" She asked. 

"Johanna has it," Harvey said. Although she didn't see it. He knew that Johanna would get it. 

"Good," Andromeda said. 

"So," Leon removed his coat and he sat in front of Andromeda. "What is that stone?" 

"Well, it was made to destroy the world. That's why that clan is protecting that gem." Andromeda explained. 

"How did you know?" Leon asked. 

"I have a dark vision." She said grimly. Leon only frowned. 

  Harvey showed Andromeda how Johanna killed a lot of people. 

"Poor guys," Andromeda said. "But the way she swings the blades… it's fascinating." 

"I know." Harvey sighed as he removed his coat and his shoes. Then, he slouches on the bed. He went through his phone and noticed something. He watched the footage of him sleeping as the surrogate entered the room, touched him, and slept with him. He jolted up and was horrified by the surrogate. He checked through the recordings and he realized that he accessed their bedroom's secret cameras. Suddenly, all of it was unable to be viewed. Maybe because his wife blocked his access. 

  He quickly called his wife but she does not answer. 

"Hey, you looked like you've seen a ghost." 

  Harvey put down his phone. 

"It is more than that." He tried to call his wife again as he paced in the room. Then, he called the house when she was not answering. Shortly, the butler answered. "It's Harvey. Where's my wife?" 

"Her highness is currently in the hospital. The surrogate is giving birth." 

"What?" He creased his brows. "Okay, I got it. Tell her that I called if she wasn't busy." 

"Yes, sir." 

  He hung up and faced Andromeda and Leon who are both curious. 

"I just found out that I've been molested." 

"With who?" And Andromeda asked while Leon already knew who it was.

  It was a graceful dance of killing under the rain. She looks more like flying. She stopped in the middle after she roamed as the bodies dropped at the same time. She looked around and climbed up on the walls. She went through a few more places. They were only watching her through the cameras to keep themselves safe. 

  Gray looked at Janella and Kennedy's wife who was smirking. He detests them. He then looked at Kennedy who looked anxious as he watched Johanna go through a very dangerous place. Johanna nearly got killed by arrows and if it wasn't for the command control, she might be already dead since all of their arrows had poison. 

"Come on," Kennedy mumbled. Somehow, Gray felt the same. 

"This is absurd," Gray said as he slouched on the sofa. 

"Why won't you go back to your country?" Danica asked as she approached him and sat on the same sofa, with a big gap between them. 

"My country?" He shrugged at her. "I would still be there if your dumb grandfather didn't commit treason." 

  Danica rolled her eyes. She's used to getting a lot of sarcasm from Gray. 

"She got it!" Kennedy exclaimed. "Prepare to depart." He told them. 

  Gray stood and went to Johanna's room. He took her duffel bag and went out. They will just wait for her somewhere at the airport. In a private plane, Kennedy together with Lefebure left first while he waited for her at the airport. He sits still in the business class lounge while 

  Shortly, Johanna arrived with wet hair and a fancy dress. She even has paper bags with her. Did she go shopping on her way here?" 

"What time is our flight?" She asked. 

"In thirty minutes," Gray said. "I already checked you in." 

"Thanks." She said and went through the paper bags. 

"What are those?" He asked. 

"Something for my hubby." 

"You make a detour from here?" 

"Yup." She grinned. "Where are we heading?" She asked. 

"France." 

"Oh, great." She nodded her head. Gray already ordered food for her as she eats a lot and drinks a lot. She looked tired from all of the work that she did. 

"I already got you the best seat. You will have a good sleep too." 

"Thanks." She said and yawned. "That work was a lot." She yawned again but she continued to eat. After finishing her food. She got up and went to the bathroom. Gray tapped the table waiting for the time. 

  Shortly, Johanna came back with a smile. She fixed her eyeglasses and glanced at the time. 

"Are you hurt?" He asked. 

"Just a few more bruises. But I will have an ice bath when we get to France."  1

  It was exactly three in the morning when they departed from Tokyo. Johanna fell asleep quickly on her corner while Gray's corner was just close to her. She was snuggled to the blanket with an eye mask on and snoring a little. Although she didn't show the bruises, he noticed that her body was in pain as she tried to lay down comfortably. He prepared medicines just in case. 

  She woke up suddenly and removed her eye mask. She looked around and glared at him. 

"Were you watching me?" She murmured at him. 

"Yup," 

  He took out a bottle of water and a pain killer and he gave it to her. She took it gratefully and drank it. 

"I will just piss and sleep on the way to France." She mumbled. She get up from her compartment and went to the bathroom. 

  Johanna entered the bathroom to take a piss. Then, she washed her hands and checked the bruises on her thighs and arms. She winced and wrapped it up again. Although she doesn't have any open wounds, her whole body hurts like hell. She suddenly missed Connor. Her man would take care of her and pamper her until she would wish that she was always sick just to get all of his attention. But she's not that mentally sick to hurt her man. 

  She went back to her seat shortly as Gray helped her but she stopped him. She doesn't need any help from another man but Connor. 

"By the way, I haven't seen your husband's face." He said.

  She hasn't told him yet that Connor isn't her husband yet. But she liked the sound, so she let Gray mention Connor. 

"He's too handsome." She mumbled as she pulled her fluffy hood and lay back in her compartment. 

"Really?" He thought for a while. "Is he rich?" 

"Yup." She nodded her head. 

"Oh," He nodded his head. "I'm rich too." 

"No one is asking." She mumbled and slept again. 

  Suddenly, a man approached them. He stared at the man until he realized who it was. Then, the man bent down and patted Johanna's head. 

"Jo," He called. 

  Johanna pushed her hood and glared at him. 

"What?" She asked coldly. It seemed like knew that the man, Harvey Del Carlo was on the same flight and in the same class. 

"Are you annoyed by this man? We can swap seats." 

"Bro. I am tired and I don't want to swap seats." 

"Yeah," he shrugged. 

  Johanna pointed to the paper bags. 

"Get that and leave." 

"You are so cold." Harvey chuckled as he kissed her head and took the paper bags. He even winked at Gray which confuses him. 

  They've been here the whole time? The Rossie Empire? He looked around to see who was with them. It means only one thing. They are also after the gem. But he bit his tongue. He doesn't want to tell Lefebure about it. He simply doesn't care.
