Chapter 46 - He May Kill You (2/2)

”So, you need to be extra careful from now on. If he discovers who you are...he may kill you too...”

Sean then pulled out a little hairpin, ”This is a tracker. Take this with you tomorrow in case anything happens.”

...

As though he had heard Halia and Sean's conversation, Jackson walked into his mysterious study room at that time and grabbed a gun off the shelf of his wall.

He loaded it up and placed it on his desk.

He then looked at the three screens on his desk and made a phone call, ”I am going alone tomorrow. The three of you stay at the karaoke bar. I am bringing Halia there tomorrow. Make sure she doesn't leave.”

...

The next day, Halia arrived at the karaoke bar that Jackson wrote down for her. It was only 5pm, so the place was pretty empty. As soon as she walked in, a woman in a white collared shirt and black pants asked, ”Are you Miss Feng?”

Halia nodded.

The lady gestured for her to follow and Halia did as told.

The karaoke bar was a lot bigger than it appeared from the outside. As it was underground, it was hard to tell how big it was from ground level.

The place was dark and it was lit by dim lighting. Halia followed the woman down one corridor after another as muffled music echoed from the rooms that they walked past. Down here, the karaoke bar felt like a world of its own. Halia had no idea what was happening in the outside world, and the outside world had no idea what was happening in there. Finally, they stopped outside a room that was labeled 'VVIP'.

”Mr. Wu's waiting inside,” the woman said.

Halia nodded and walked into the room. Sitting inside, was Jackson and his three men.

”Lock the door behind you,” Jackson instructed.

Halia immediately did as told.

She then watched as Jackson picked up the remote for the karaoke machine and typed in a ten-digit number.

As soon as he pressed enter, one of the walls grumbled and slid upwards, revealing a stairwell.

”Follow me,” Jackson said.

Halia looked down at the stairwell; the karaoke bar was already underground, but they were going further down. What was down there? Was it safe? Halia took a deep breath and adjusted her hair clip. She then glanced down at her phone as she started walking down the stairs.

There was no phone signal...
