135 Alices Chase - Part 2 (2/2)

Gulp.

The mention about finger cutting was enough to scare Mike, making him stiffen all around his body as he swallowed his saliva, feeling dryness in his mouth. Thankfully for him, Wuxing didn't plan to pitch a tent there and said, ”I'm going, good luck with your girl.”

Only as Wuxing was leaving as if nothing has happened did Mike realise he was still tied and questioned, ”Wait, are you going to untie me?”

”Those zip-ties are not even connected. You can rip them apart with ease.” Wuxing called out as he cast a glance at clothless Mike who was tied to the rim by him before leaving the bathroom, only adding two last lines, ”Remember what I told you. If you say anything, I will find you and finish the job. I forgot to tell you, I'm from Seven Stars.”

Naturally, Seven Star Special Forces were too famous for Mike to not know about them. The moment he heard Wuxing mention it, his old resentment and hatred ended just like that. He couldn't fight against someone who could basically kill him in one hundred different ways.

Wuxing didn't want to use Seven Stars as his bargaining chip but he felt like he should already leave. It was a quick method to silence people so it would be a sin not to use it.

After ripping the zip-ties just like Wuxing told him, Mike wore his clothes, tidying them up a bit before leaving the bathroom as well. He didn't expect that he would meet both his boss Alice as well as his crush, Monik, standing right outside the doors, wondering if they should enter inside.

He thought they will scold him more but Alice asked hurriedly, ”Mike, is there anyone else in the bathroom? The handsome guy from earlier entered just a couple minutes ago. You entered the bathroom twice. You should have met him.”

This made Mike confused, as he asked back confused, talking much calmer than before, ”Huh? Twice? I only entered the bathroom once. Anyway, the guy who you are looking for just left. I think you two passed each other.” He didn't want to have anything to do with him and knowing he wasn't his threat anymore, he was relieved.

”Damn, he must have slipped as we walked from the surveillance room. Let's go, he shouldn't have walked away too far.” Alice cursed, not expecting to be this unlucky and quickly turned around to leave.

Monik gave Mike one glance before leaving as well, not saying anything to him. He could only sigh and walk towards the dining area for his break. He never would have thought that Wuxing actually copied his appearance so he didn't even delve deeper on Alice's previous question.

When Alice came to the entrance, already feeling tired from all the running, she happened to hear another disappointing message, forcing her to give up on her chase, ”Miss Alice, I tried to force him to stay but he just brushed me away and left. I'm sorry…”

She looked at the rotating door of an entrance and asked herself, 'Why am I even chasing after him so hard…'
