Chapter 2: Carry out dangerous missions in exchange for freedom
1195 Words
"But I heard you promised Rose to release her when the mission is completed?" Roma asked.
Kyna laughed. "No, I was just saying she and her partner were free, the partner I was talking about was Clara, not Belinda."
Roma suddenly understood and laughed loudly, clapping her hands repeatedly. "I didn't expect you to be so sublime, Rose certainly didn't expect it."
"If she doesn't agree, just let Belinda go to Black to steal the black diamond, let her good friend die in her heartlessness. However, the Rose I raised would never let her good friend be in danger, would she, Belinda?" Kyna looked down at Belinda's pale face.
Belinda trembled at the mention of the Black family, a long-standing family in the underworld and known as the king of the European-American underworld. And the current leader of Black is Vincent Kane, rumors about him are countless, but only a few phrases are mentioned most when describing Vincent, cold-blooded and ruthless. Not to mention stealing a treasure like a black diamond, she wouldn't even dare enter Black's domain.
Belinda nodded rapidly; she was afraid that she would be tortured by Kyna again.
...
It was afternoon when Rose and Clara returned to the organization; Clara said goodbye to go home, and only Rose returned to the castle. When Rose got out of the car, Albert ran to tell her the news. "Belinda has just been tortured by Kyna; she gives Belinda a new task to steal the black diamond from the Black organization."
Their good mood for Rose was ruined instantly. Her beautiful brows furrowed, the back of her hand showing blue veins, she asked. "Where are Kyna and Belinda?"
"They're inside, follow me." Albert quickly led Rose to Kyna's room.
Rose was in a hurry, she even rushed there, when she pushed open the heavy door, the scene before her eyes made her heart tighten. Belinda, her best and most resilient friEnd, was huddled in a corner, tears streaming down her face, her body shaking uncontrollably.
Step by step, Rose approached Belinda; she fell to one knee in front of Belinda, said heartbreakingly. "Calm down, Belinda; I'm here. I absolutely won't let anyone hurt you."
"I don't want to go to Black, please save me, Rose." Belinda hugged Rose's arm tightly in supplication.
"Please calm down Belinda, I will help you by all means." Rose hugged Belinda tightly and comforted her.
Kyna heard that she burst out laughing.
Rose's gaze turned coldly to Kyna, and she angrily questioned. "She promised that after I brought that ruby she would set us free. Why are you doing this to Belinda?"
Kyna smiled; her cold, bone-chilling eyes stared at Rose. "I only promised to set you free; everything else I didn't say was all your speculation. Now that you have completed your quest, you can leave here. But not Belinda; she will have a new mission of her own."
"The mission you mentioned was stealing the black diamond from Black? You know it's impossible; Black's security, we can't sneak in, let alone return safely." Rose's anger reached its peak; she couldn't help but watch Belinda go down the path of death without saving her.
"I have rarely seen you so lacking in confidence on a mission. You and Belinda are the two best in the organization, are you worshiping Black too much or are you putting yourself down?" Kyna scoffed, even though she was the one who knew best about the danger this time.
Rose gritted her teeth and looked at Kyna with hatred. "It was you who was the most obvious, leg paralyzed for life as a result of once trying to sneak into Black's main building. You haven't even seen the black diamond that has become like this, that's where normal people can go?"
Hearing Rose mention her paralyzed legs, Kyna's color changed utterly, her sharp eyes looked at Rose, and her fake smile disappeared and was replaced by gnashing teeth. "That is the price of being free. The organization has a separate rule, wanting to leave the organization has only two cases. 1 is the dead person, the second is the person who repeats the great merit. So how do you want me to handle Belinda?"
Rose clenched her fists, her heart throbbing several times at the sight of Belinda's fear. "What do you have to do to keep Belinda safe?"
"It's easy; stay in the organization and keep working." Kyna smiled when she saw that Rose was on the right path that she had outlined.
Rose smiled bitterly; according to Kyna, her risk of infiltrating the national gallery was meaningless.
"I exchanged that freedom for Belinda," Rose said calmly.
This was beyond Kyna's expectations. However, she was quickly satisfied because she would keep Rose in the organization.
Suddenly.
"I will take back the black diamond, if I succeed I will have my freedom, if I fail…" Rose tilted her head to look at Belinda, then smiled. "Then remember to build me a small grave."
Belinda quickly grabbed Rose's wrist, shaking her head repeatedly. "No way Rose, I don't need your freedom in exchange for your life, or can we just stay here and work?"
Rose smiles brighter and brighter; her smile always carries the most liberal and calm as if nothing in this world can affect her. However, few people know that Rose often uses that smile to hide her inner weakness.
"I used to think that way before, but as I watched the bird fly in the wide sky, I decided that I too should be like that bird. I would rather have a minute of freedom and die than life and be imprisoned for the rest of my life. I don't want to always obey orders or bow to others, I want to live the most normal life. Belinda, you are the one who knows me best, so you must support me." Rose patted Belinda's shoulder a few times and stood up; she fixed her hair and looked at Kyna, who was holding back her anger. "The underworld also has its laws, what you say cannot be violated. From now on Belinda will be released."
With that said, Rose walked straight ahead without turning once despite Belinda shouting her name or Kyna threatening to shoot if she took another step, but Rose never stopped.
Rose only turned her head once before leaving the castle gates; she wanted to see that place again, the hell she used to live in.
Rose is an orphan who was picked up by Kyna 25 years ago; from a young age, she was trained rigorously and learned how to be a cold-blooded human. Rose has never been exposed to the outside world; what she learned from an early age is just how to steal and kill people; although Rose has never killed anyone, she has not witnessed it. Rose does not want to continue living her life as a puppet, so she must be free to be in control of her destiny.
Rose raised an arm to greet her associates one last time, then climbed into the convertible and sped off into the night.
