211 Reaching Back Part-1 (1/2)

Everyone went back to the ship and the ship left from the shore back to North America. Everyone went to their allocated rooms. In the earlier missions, Liu Juan had never noticed any other members, but now she did and found out everyone was being very cautious and wary of other team members.

No one talked to each other and stayed in their respective rooms.  Even though they were eating, they seemed to be very wary of the food as if someone had poisoned the food. Even the next morning, Liu Juan saw the dead body of her team member. No one knew who had killed him.

Well, this was the reality of the Underworld where you couldn't trust anyone other than yourself and everyone was here to gain power. They thought that the more power there was in their hands, the more money they would earn, but there was a bitter reality to that, the more enemies you have as well.

Let's take the example of the man, the Big Boss. It was clear that everyone was after his position as the big boss and to get that position, they were ready to kill him.

The best example was Bo Xiao. The man knew that Bo Xiao was after his position, still, the man had given a chance to Bo Xiao to earn his trust again despite the fact Bo Xiao would again go after the position of Big Boss. However, the man couldn't kill Bo Xiao so easily because everyone that came under him wanted to kill him and wanted to take his position. Therefore, the man couldn't kill everyone, otherwise, who would go to fight with the enemy to secure his place and to take control of new places?

So the man had to give a second chance to Bo Xiao and to Liu Juan, right?

Well, that was bullshit!

The man really knew that he couldn't trust Bo Xiao again and that was why, he had set up the trap for Liu Juan and Bo Xiao and he was very sure that both Liu Juan and Bo Xiao would fall into his trap.

Liu Juan was not after his position. So the man could trust her, right?

Yes! But the problem was that she wanted her freedom and that was why she made a team with the betrayer Bo Xiao. However, if the man gave her freedom, then who would remain by his side as a loyal person?

The man couldn't afford to lose her, so he set a trap just to give her a tight lesson. And not only for Liu Juan, but also for Bo Xaio so that he would never ever dream to go after his boss position.

Then what was the trap which the man had set up?

Well, you would know soon enough.

…

Each day was passing like sand in the hand, but there was no news of the death of both the brothers.

Knock…Knock…

Liu Juan was in her room and was about to go back to sleep but then suddenly, knocks were heard on the door of her room.

Usually, she would have opened the door in a single knock, but now the situation was different. She was in a place where lives were taken from you if you weren't careful. Everyone was taking the life of other members and Liu Juan was also included in it.

Therefore, she couldn't afford to lose her life, at least not before her freedom was granted.

She cautiously went towards the door and looked through the peephole outside the door to see the person who had knocked.
