Chapter 4
Tonight, Alma was dressed so beautifully. She wasn't her usual self; her clothes were more revealing than before.
Actually, even without this, Alma was still confident that Arnold would fall for her. But this time, she felt a little crazy. Dean's words had really penetrated her, and therefore, she was wearing those clothes.
She just had to carry out her mission, then leave, get away from that man's life, and maybe become Arnold's woman. Maybe that wasn't a bad idea after all.
She walked steadily out of the dormitory and met Arnold.
By now, she was in front of Arnold's headquarters. Her chest heaved and fell, her breathing irregular. She hadn't thought she'd be this nervous. But for some reason, fear suddenly enveloped her. She would only tease him and ask him to stop. But what if she couldn't control the situation?
Alma immediately took a deep breath.
"This is easy for you, Alma. You can do it." Alma had certainly prepared everything. She had brought some sleeping pills for him. So that he wouldn't overreact after ending his problems with Dean, then everything would be safe.
Alma confidently entered Arnold's headquarters.
She looked around.
Her footsteps sounded so rhythmic that all eyes were now on her. She became increasingly nervous.
There were several men and women there. Arnold's group.
Everyone was surprised by Alma's arrival. Until someone from the group suddenly brought Arnold back to his senses.
And Arnold quickly looked at her.
He smiled broadly when he saw Alma.
"Hey… what brings you to see me tonight? Aren't you lost?"
Alma remained silent.
"Alma, you're so beautiful," said Arnold.
"I… I want to discuss something important with you. But I don't want these people here," Alma said, a little nervously.
Hearing that, Arnold just smiled.
"Say it, honey… they'll still be here to hear everything you say. But if you really want to be alone with me, I have a room for you, and we can go in there." Arnold quickly invited Alma, but she quickly refused.
"No, let me say it here!"
Arnold smiled again.
"Okay, anything for you!"
Without further ado, Alma immediately stated her intentions.
"Arnold. Please let Dean go. If you let him go, I'll be your girlfriend!"
Hearing this, Arnold couldn't help but laugh dryly.
"Wow… that poor guy is truly lucky. A beautiful girl like you is even willing to come just to beg for him!"
"What has he given you that you're so defensive of her, Alma? In any case, I'm even better," Arnold said in disbelief.
"I don't think I need to answer that, Arnold. You just have to answer. Will you accept this deal?"
"Don't be so hasty. Are you going to try to please me first?" Maybe I'll think about it."
Arnold shamelessly embraced Alma.
Alma was so shocked that she reflexively hit Arnold in the face, causing him to quickly hold his numb cheek.
Arnold grimaced but kept smiling.
Alma saw the anger in Arnold's eyes.
"Oh my God, Alma… why are you so stupid? Why did you just hit him in the face? You messed everything up," Alma thought.
Immediately, Arnold quickly signaled to the headquarters staff, and they quickly closed the door.
Alma sensed the alarm. She quickly attempted to flee.
She failed to complete her mission. Her body's reflexes were simply uncooperative.
As she rushed to escape, Arnold immediately grabbed her, dragging her along.
Now she felt only fear and tried to find a way to escape.
"Let go! Help!"
Just as the front door was about to lock completely, Dean arrived and quickly finished off the men.
As he did so, he was in the worst condition. His stomach was still growling, giving off an alarm, demanding food.
"Oh s**t, wait a little longer. Don't get hungry at a time like this!" He muttered. Then he went back to hitting the men.
He was so hungry. The hamburger he'd eaten all morning wouldn't be able to sustain him tonight. He had to find Alma and get her out.
Once inside the headquarters, he saw Alma being dragged away by Arnold.
"Hey...damn it, let go of her, you bastard!"
Dean jumped high and quickly kicked Arnold, causing the man to fall to the ground.
Immediately, taking advantage of the situation, Dean grabbed Alma's hand and led her away, but just as they were about to escape, someone kicked him, knocking him to the ground.
He felt like he was about to lose consciousness, his vision blurring, and his hearing becoming increasingly high-pitched.
Alma, still recovering, immediately tried to fight off the men as best she could.
Dean tried to regain consciousness.
With his consciousness starting to return, he got up, and they ran again.
Then, as they were running, someone shot Dean.
The sound of the gun made Alma quickly cover her ears.
"Dean!" Alma shouted.
Dean stopped dead in his tracks. He realized something. He'd been shot!
"Oh shitt!"
He collapsed.
Before he could lose consciousness, he heard police sirens approaching.
"Oh s**t. We're safe!" He lost consciousness immediately. The men began to flee, unaware that it was all the work of Dean's three friends. No police actually arrived.
How could they let Dean fight alone
They then brought Dean back.
Meanwhile, Arnold was furious. He wouldn't let Dean go.
Soon, word spread like wildfire.
Anyone who dared interact with Dean and didn't bully him would suffer the same fate.
'I'll see how you'll survive if everyone tries to kill you.'
'Alma, you will receive retribution for what you have done to me!'
****
Everyone was now ready with their tools. This morning, everyone was shocked by Dean's apparent unafraid of death.
Rumors were circulating. There had been someone who had opposed Arnold before, and within a week, he had simply disappeared without a word or anything. Everything was back to normal. So calm, as if nothing had ever happened. But everyone was convinced that the previous person was dead. And maybe Dean will be next.
"Arnold's orders. We can do anything to Dean, even kill him.He will be responsible for everything." someone whispered to another.
They grinnedmaniacally "Game on!" the men said.
