Chapter 64

⊰᯽⊱┈──╌❊╌──┈⊰᯽⊱

After having fled away together, the two women drove back to major family's mansion, arriving to the entrance gates within an hour. There was no vehicle chasing after them this entire time, which meant that they were not in danger for now. But despite of that, they still felt agitated. The events happened so quickly before their eyes and they still couldn't process it properly.

The uncle of Paris was murdered by a male bodyguard dressed in a suit uniform, which meant that he was sent by the main family. The mafia leader must have figured that Paris was up to something since the moment she left the mansion, thus he sent a bodyguard to spy on her. Everything was messed up and the plan was completely ruined. They couldn't even get half of the information that they wanted.

There were still countless of unanswered questions that needed to be revealed to be able to unveil the whole truth and understand the story behind it. It was like an endless maze with no escape. Although, at this point, it was pretty obvious who the one at fault was. Paris was even more convinced now that the mafia leader was truly a psychopath. Perhaps worse than the leader of the minor family.

"Thank you for helping me today. Even though we failed and got caught, at least we were able to get some important background information." Paris told Venus while handing her back the backpack with the money she lent. She was able to take it from her uncle on time before running away earlier.

Venus took the bag, placing it down before asking with some concern, "Are you okay?" Paris' uncle just got killed and Venus wanted to make sure that she was doing alright.

Paris raised her own chin and nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry too much about it. I wasn't that close to him anyway. It does hurt a little, but it will eventually cease."

Venus fell into silence for a second. She stared at Paris for a while, tilting her head to a side before speaking. "Once you enter that mansion, you will have to confront my uncle face to face. Will you be alright all by yourself?"

"Yes, I'll handle the rest on my own. You can leave once I go inside." Paris replied and opened the door, getting out of the car.

Venus did the same in the opposite side, standing on her feet and leaning forward to lay an arm against the open door of the car. "Be careful, and just remember that they might go against you after this." She reminded her. "The main family has been getting a lot weaker lately. And I'm having the gut feeling that my father will soon take advantage of that. You have to be ready no matter happens after this, okay?"

Paris gulped down dryly, nodding her head, knowing exactly what Venus meant to say. If the major clan is weak, then that only meant one thing: 'That the minor clan will take that as a chance to strike and defeat them'. This was all about power and competition after all. It wouldn't be surprising if it really resulted this way. These two families were arrogant and ambiguous.

"What are you planning to do after this?" Paris asked her, a little curious.

"I don't really know." Venus shrugged her shoulders. "This all depends on my father's decision." There was a brief pause before she added, "But there's one thing that I do know. If the chaos begins, then I will make sure to protect the person I love. I will not let anyone hurt Pearl. I will give an order to the bodyguards of my family, warning them that if they lay a finger on her, then I will make them suffer."

Damn, Venus sounded so determined and insane. But that was good to hear. At least Paris could feel a little more relieved by knowing that nobody was going to harm her best friend if something were to really happen. Things were surely going to get wild sooner or later.
