On the other hand, Olivia was uncomfortable letting Jewel investigate the spiked tea alone, so she accompanied Jewel. After leaving the room, the two women confronted a terrified waiter.
The waiter jumped in fright when he saw them stomping over. “What do you want?”
Olivia’s eyes narrowed as she demanded sternly, “Who told you to do it?”
His heart sank at her words, but he continued to play dumb. “What?”
However, she repeated patiently, “The pot of tea you gave us was spiked with Ecstasy. Speak! Who told you to spike it? I know you wouldn’t actually have the nerve to do that. If you tell the truth, I will not make this hard. Otherwise… Well, you asked for it.”
The waiter’s heart literally stopped beating after hearing this. I’m doomed! So, there is something wrong with the tea.
When he still didn’t say anything after a few minutes, Jewel became frustrated and kicked him in the abdomen. “Speak!”
After a painful groan and an attempt to shield his beaten abdomen with his arms, he stuttered, “A-A woman asked me to bring the pot of tea to your room. She claimed to be your friend but didn’t want you to know it was her. I was told to say it was a gift from the restaurant. The tip she gave was huge, so I helped her. I didn’t know it was spiked. I’m sorry! I’m so sorry!”
“What woman?” Olivia asked, frowning.
“She’s tall and pretty,” the waiter replied.
When Jewel and Olivia heard this, they exchanged glances and realized who it was.
“Where is she now?”
Then, he ducked his head and responded feebly, “She had already left, and she had gone in that direction.”
Suddenly, Jewel grabbed him by the shirt collar and warned, “Just wait. I’ll be back for you later.” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
They then took off running in the direction the waiter had indicated. However, no matter how hard they searched, they could not find the woman. They ran for a while before eventually stopping.
“Forget it. That woman must be hiding in the shadows, watching us. There is no way we can find her. Let’s just head back,” Olivia said.
Jewel angrily looked around, reluctant to just give up. A moment later, she asked, “Who do you think it was?”
“Blood Rose,” Olivia answered.
In the meantime, Jewel was pleased to learn that Olivia’s guess mirrored her own. “You think so, too, right? It looks like she has left the Double Dragon Court.” As soon as she uttered those words, a shadow appeared at the corner of her eye. “Over there!” Her eyes lit up, and she dashed after the mysterious figures.
“Jewel—” Olivia instinctively called out to her. She noticed that the location they were heading toward would not be covered by surveillance cameras, implying that it was most likely a trap.
Unfortunately, Jewel’s mind was so consumed by her desire for vengeance that she did not hear Olivia calling out for her and continued running.
Worried, Olivia had no choice but to chase after her.
The mysterious figures ran into a remote alleyway before stopping and then turned around to shoot Jewel taunting glares.
Meanwhile, Jewel had also come to a stop, and as she studied the people in front of her, her eyes were unflinchingly cold and utterly devoid of any sign of fear. She observed that they were clad in plain black clothing, and it was abundantly clear that these people were professional assassins, but the alleyway was far too dim for her to make out their features. However, she immediately recognized the group’s leader, Blood Rose. Her real name was Rose Blunt, but she went by the pseudonym Blood Rose during the mission. Then, she stated coldly, “You are truly fearless. The police are looking for you everywhere, but here you are.”
