Is she the Double Dragon Court’s assassin? Seeing as how she was so afraid Damian would fall into my hands that she chased him here and killed him at all costs, does this mean that she feared Damian would spill some crucial secrets? Is she the person who keeps in touch with Damian? Or is she merely sent by the casino’s owner to eliminate Damian?
“Do you work for the casino?” Alex prodded tentatively. Alas, the woman wasn’t possibly about to give him an answer. She didn’t say a single word throughout their exchange. Instead, she immediately charged toward Alex.
When Alex saw this, his attack became more ruthless. All he had in mind was to deal with this mysterious woman as soon as possible. In fact, it would be best if he could catch her, for the truth would come to light when that happened. Unfortunately for him, the woman was a strong opponent. Not to mention, he had sustained an injury prior to this. As a result, he started to flag after battling the woman for a while.
Just then, the woman seized the right timing and shot a dart right at him. Alex instinctively dodged out of the way. Still, the dart flew past his neck, causing him to bleed instantly.
Meanwhile, the woman took advantage of his distraction and scaled the wall. Alex beat his chest and stamped his feet in frustration as he watched the woman escape right before his eyes. It took him a long time before he finally slumped to the ground, any fight in him gone like a deflated balloon.
If truth be told, Alex was exhausted way before the match ended. The phone in his pocket kept ringing. When he finally had the mind to fish it out of his pocket, he saw it was Peter calling. Since the call abruptly ended after getting through earlier, Peter probably assumed something had happened to me.
So, it was with that thought in mind that he quickly answered the call, “Hey, Peter.”
“I’ll be right there. Are you okay?” Peter asked. Alex smiled. He couldn’t believe Peter had figured out that he was in trouble. “I’m fine. Don’t worry.” Despite saying so, Alex still covered his neck with one hand while placing another on his waist, groaning in pain.
Soon, Peter arrived at the scene. His car lit up the dark alley with the headlights as he drove straight toward the bar’s back entrance. When Alex spotted Peter’s car, he hurriedly shouted, “I’m right here!”
Peter heard Alex’s hollers. Hence, he reversed his car and got out of the car in a hurry. Then, he saw Alex sitting on the ground. “Hey, are you okay?”
“I’m fine, but Damian is dead,” Alex replied briefly. Peter was slightly surprised. “Damian’s dead?
How did he die?” With that, Alex told Peter the ins and outs of the incident happened earlier. “I think this person is probably Double Dragon Court’s assassin. Say- do you know the name of the casino’s owner?”
“I was an acquaintance of the former boss. But I heard that there had been a change of ownership recently, and I have yet to meet this new boss. What’s wrong? Do you suspect it’s him?” Peter said.
“The person who attacked me was a woman. However, her martial arts skills are not to be taken lightly. See this?” Alex raised his neck and added, “She nearly killed me. She only needed one shot to take Damian out of the game.” “What?! You got injured!? But aren’t you highly skilled in martial arts?” Peter asked in surprise. Alex sighed. “Oh, don’t even start. I got knifed earlier. Damian’s fault,” he grumbled while standing up with Peter’s help.
“You can’t go home like this. Come, let me take you to the hospital first,” Peter said as he tried to drag Alex to the side of the car. Suddenly, Alex’s voice sounded, “Let’s go to the police station and file a report. After all, a murder had taken place in your town. Although I’m not the killer, it will still be a hassle if the police start the investigation and I’m detained because I’m the primary suspect.”
“It’s okay. I will settle this matter,” Peter assured.
Alex knew that Peter was trying to look out for him. That was why he definitely didn’t want to drag Peter into this mess. Therefore, he expressed, “How are you going to settle it? Come on, let’s go. Although I have tormented Damian, the harm that I have inflicted wasn’t fatal. The cause of Damian’s death was the fatal attack by that woman’s darts. So, I’m fine with reporting this matter to the police as long as you can guarantee I won’t get behind bars. After all, I still have a lot of stuff I need to do.”
Thus, Peter had no choice but to give in when faced with Alex’s persistence and called the police.
