33 The real almighty one has been revealed (2/2)

”Could you give us some alone time?” Renae asked, trying to calm herself down. The guy nodded and left the room.

”Come here,” she said, a sad expression slowly appearing on her face. Matthew walked towards her and bent down so that he was on the same level as Renae. She loosened up the knot on her hands, which she tied herself, and threw a slap across Matthew's face. ”H... Hey! What was that for?” Matthew asked, his hands flew up to cover his left cheek as he backed away.

Renae casually retied her knot and said, ”It was to show you I had this situation under control. I even untied the stupid knot they tied. This obviously involves Min. And is it not obvious enough to you what she wants? What she called you and I here for? If it's not obvious enough, then you dense little brat will have to wait till the ”ma'am” arrives to find out.”

Matthew's eyebrows scrunched up in confusion. ”If you can escape, why don't you escape?” He asked. ”Because this has been interesting. The kidnappers are a bunch of idiots. Where does Min find her sources anyways? The first thing that pops up when she googles it? Hmpf. How stupid. Anyways, just follow along. We'll escape the moment they think they've won,” Renae said with a tint of evil in her eyes.

Matthew nodded. ”I'll follow along.”

Their conversation, excluding the slap, wasn't too loud since the guy might've been listening.

”Okay, we're done!” Renae shouted. ”Great! Good timing, ma'am just arrived as well,” he said as he opened the door. Min entered, she held her head high as if she was looking down on Renae. ”Aren't you grounded? How did you get out?” Matthew asked. Min let out a disgustingly cute laugh and said, ”I escaped. It wasn't heard especially with the help of my precious mother.”

Matthew gritted his teeth behind his closed lips. ”State what you want in exchange for Renae's safe return,” he said, his stare turning into a glare.

”Easy. 4 conditions and she's outta here. Number one, we get married. Number two, we have at least 2 kids. Number three, you can't divorce me. There's no way I can be a divorcee! And last but not least, number four, you can't ever see or speak to Renae EVER again! Hehe... deal?” Min smiled sickeningly at the two.

Matthew unconsciously looked towards Renae. She nodded, pretending as if she felt miserable. Seeing this, Min's ego grew and she covered her mouth as she laughed. ”Deal. It's a deal. Now let her go,” Matthew looked down as he said this.

”Hmm. You actually thought... I was letting her go? She's staying. And I'm going to use her to threaten you to do things with me for the rest of our married lives!” Min cackled, it was almost as if there was a heart right above her head. This was what Matthew was afraid of. His body tensed up and he let out a sigh in frustration.

They were so busy discussing this the whole time, they didn't realise that Renae had untied herself completely from her hands to her legs. She got up, picked up the chair, and smashed it on the guy. After which, she did the karate chop which would knock one unconscious. ”Come on, fight me like a woman instead of using dirty tricks like that,” Renae's voice resounded loud and clear throughout the room as she got into the same fighting position as before.

This time, she didn't only place her focus on what was in front of her, but around and even behind. She took note of the wind movements around her to know if someone was moving. Min fell back a few steps in shock. She reached behind her for whatever she could find and ended up grabbing a sharp piece of glass.

She stood unsteadily with the piece of glass held in front of her. Her lip trembled in pure hatred and she screamed angrily as she charged towards Renae with the glass. It wasn't a hard dodge, but police sirens were heard as Min tumbled to the ground where Renae previously stood.

Renae let out a ”hmpf” and pushed her back down to try and put her hands behind her back, but the vicious woman managed to squirm her hands out and swung the piece of glass towards Renae's face.

”What do you think you're doing?” A familiar male voice said, catching the piece of glass... between his fingers! They were so concentrated on the fight that they didn't hear the door open. Kaiden's gaze pierced Min as he said, ”Don't you know... that this piece of glass can injure someone VERY badly?” After which, he threw it on the ground and the sound of glass breaking was heard. It wasn't necessarily a scary thing to hear someone say, but Kaiden made himself sound so almighty they were all terrified, even Renae and Matthew! Kaiden tightly grabbed Min's arms and pinned her down fully so she wasn't able to move a single bit.

It wasn't long before a few familiar policemen poured into the room. They were the police from the investigation about the bank robbery. Renae gasped as she saw them. ”Renae, Kaiden and... boy in the corner, are you guys okay?” Policeman 1 asked. Renae and Kaiden both burst out laughing. ”His name is Matthew,” Renae said before Matthew could. ”Oh... erm, nice to meet you, Kaiden, I'm policeman 1. Anyways, you two seem to always get yourself in trouble, huh?” He said as he handcuffed Min.

”You guys are familiar?” Matthew asked as they left the room. ”Yea... we'll explain some other time,” Kaiden said. ”First thing's first, let's get Renae's wounds cleaned up. Let's go,” another policeman said.

They left the premises and headed for the police station.
