324 The Grim Reaper Himself
Amber was staring at them but she was concentrating on the movements from the outside.
*BANG*
When the gunshot was heard, all their attention except for Amber was on the door.
She used this moment to jump to the side of the bed where she was handcuffed and shot the chains of the handcuff before sliding underneath the bed.
Just as she did this, she shouted, "TAKE COVER!!!"
Gun shots from the armalite was heard at the same time the enemies looked towards where she was but she was already sliding underneath the bed.
When she did, she didn't forget to shot one of the enemies in their legs.
And that is how she came to this position but she did feel sad that one of those who killed her parents was now dead because of Michael.
She wanted to kill them herself but there's no point in feeling that way now.
"I see that you have sided with the Price Empire," Michael then added.
"I didn't," Oliver still said.
"Oh you didn't. Then didn't the agreement also include not to take missions from them," Michael then answered.
Amber had her brows furrowed, there was such a thing?
"What are you talking about? We haven't taken any mission from them," Oliver answered instantly.
"Wow, should I applaud you for your lies?" Amber couldn't keep it in and answered back.
Despite being under the bed, she was glaring at Oliver who couldn't exactly see her.
"I see that I have a witness here," Michael added.
Oliver gritted his teeth, they were able to cover their tracks when it comes to dealing with the Price Empire yet this day, it was laid down in the open just like that.
He then glanced at the bed where Amber was under, 'It was all because she was here. I still have no idea if she was a witness or what but it was because she was here.'
With this thought, his face darkened and nudged for Mark to use the armalite to shot the bed.
But just as Mark raised the gun, Michael moved and was already close to them.
In reality, if they were to compare his capabilities with Oliver Cleaves, Oliver would not compare.
He had stopped training his body when their group became stronger, though his capabilities are still great, it could no longer compare with Michael who kept training.
So they had no choice but to aim at him instead, yet Ashton was just right behind him.
Amber who saw their movements rolled out of the bed and aimed, she knew she only has one shot, she needs to use this as support to the other two.
With this three way sudden movements, Oliver and Mark who remained alive within the room could not compare.
Carla who had been standing behind them didn't even understand what suddenly happened, just that in a mere minute, Mark was kneeling on the floor while Oliver was shot in the shoulder and in his leg.
He gritted his teeth as he stared at Michael, "The other Empires wouldn't stand still about this. Not even the main police force."
Michael just shrugged.
"..."
Amber who was helped up by Ashton was staring at him. He was not speaking but she can see the anger within his eyes.
She could only weakly smile at him, "The bottle."
She pointed to the bottle near the bed where the man whom she had killed dropped it.
Ashton didn't say a thing and pointed his gun at Carla who was trembling on the side.
"Pick that bottle up."
His voice was both emotionless and cold that Carla trembled even more. She slowly stood up and picked the bottle before she slowly moved to where they are and passed the bottle to Ashton.
She couldn't raise her head.
Ashton helped Amber to sit down on the bed.
"I want to talk to them," she then said.
Michael gestured for the two of them to walk while he adn Ashton aimed their guns on them.
The door opened and Oliver thought it was his group yet the hope crushed upon seeing the leaders of the other small groups.
The leaders stared at the scene with shock, they didn't expect that there would be two women in the room and that Oliver Cleaves was already kneeling in front of them.
"Can you get this woman out, we just need to speak with them for a bit," Michael then said to which the leaders followed.
They can tell that the purpose of this attack was saving the blood covered lady in front of them. And since they have done their part and purpose, they followed him and pulled Carla away.
"No, no, please Ash help me!!"
She started screaming but tehre was no reaction.
"Please don't let her escape and don't hurt her. I really need her later," Amber looked at them and asked politely.
The leaders blinked before they slowly nodded their heads in agreement.
After that the room was left with only the five of them.
"Shall we continue our talk? The one about Star country 8 years ago?" she then looked back at Oliver and Mark.
The two of them didn't speak and just glared at her. While Michael listened attentively.
Ashton told him that hsi sister died eight years ago and this person was his niece.
"You were adamant in saying that you didn't collude with the Price Empire. But here I am, a living proof that you have indeed collude with them."
Amber looked at Michael, "What is the agreement about, sir?"
Michael felt uncomfortable with her respectful manner of speaking, "Black Spade and Blue Cliff are not to have any partnership with the five Empires."
"And if we were to do so, the other has the right to take them down together with the police."
Amber nodded as she agreed with this, the underworld is too big for the police force.
The police force was under the government.
There are five Empires.
And the two leading groups of the underworld.
These are the eight main factions of the world.
'It is no wonder that the world was still in balance,' she thought before looking back at Oliver Cleaves.
"It has been eight long years. I had been searching for you all this time," she then said.
"Who are you?" Oliver finally asked.
Amber smiled not her sweet one but it was a cold one that contains all her anger.
"What did they pay you? Why did you choose to not uphold the agreement and do the bidding of Price Empire in killing their own kin?"
Her eyes showed anger and pain.
"Why?" she asked again when they didn't speak.
What Black Spade got was actually the cooperation of the current leading Empire, the Price Empire. With the connection of this Empire, they were able to have more dealings than normal after they accepted that mission.
Amber took the bottle and used it to remove her mask.
After she did so, they stared at her with shock, she really did have the scar that carla had been telling them.
But what made them shock even more was that she was removing the scar on her face. They stared at her wide eyed as she slowly removed the second mask of her face.
And when she did finish it, she looked at them. Despite the blood that was smeared on her face, the beauty that she had hidden was definitely there.
The beauty that was only seen more than a century ago.
"Clarissa Price," he muttered.
"Ah yes that's right. This face was just like hers right?" Amber said.
Oliver's face turned pale upon realizing where this conversation was coming from.
"That family..." he muttered.
Amber smield at him and her eyes were a myriad of emotions, "Yes, you do know now. How I had been wishing to meet you after all these years."
"I was not a witness but a survivor," she added before looking at Mark.
Mark's eyes was wide in disbelief. There was only one child back then, who would have thought that the body they recovered was someone else.
Amber picked up Mark's gun and shot him in the thigh.
"Why?"
Then she shot him in the arm.
"Why?"
Her shots continued and why's kept going as well.
Her tears flowed from who knows when and her body started trembling, "Why must you do that?"
But she knew she will never get an answer to why and even if she receive an answer she will never understand it.
Seeing as she started becoming emotional, Ashton took the gun from her and hugged her tight.
Mark was already dead, shot in every part of his body.
Michael whose face turned dark grabbed Oliver by the collar and punched him in the face, he did so over and over again.
"That's my sister you got back then. My one and only sister," he then said as he stared straight in Oliver's eyes.
Oliver stared at him in disbelief, he didn't expect that the mission from back then would lead to this event. Where his gang was annihilated.
"I won't kill you yet, allow me to show you what hell truly looks like," Michael then told him as he whipped out his phone and called for his subordinates.
His fists are trembling, seeing the reaction from Amber, he knew that his sister didn't have a peaceful life at all.
"I will hunt every possible person that you hold dear and make sure that they will suffer right before your eyes."
Oliver had them as well, those who are important to him and seeing the look in Michael, he knew he was now facing the grim reaper himself.
