Chapter 730 I Won't Let Anything Happen to You Selena took a deep breath and said to the leading man, "Alright, let's play a game." The guy thought he misheard. Seriously? At a tlike this, she wanted to play a game? But Selena looked up at him. "You've already taken over the whole building. I ain't going anywhere. That thing's super important to you, and it's just as important to me. You could off a bunch of random folks, and I wouldn't even flinch. So let's play a game. If I lose, I'll spill where my mom hid the thing." The guy raised an eyebrow and pointed the gun at her forehead. "You think I'll buy that?" Selena didn't even flinch, just stared at him coolly. "You got no choice but to believe me. Only I know where it's stashed." "Ms. Fair, do you even know what we're after?" the guy asked.
The gun was now practically touching Selena's forehead. One wrong word, and she was toast. Anyone else would've passed out from fear by now, but Selena stayed chill. "You looking for something that looks like a jellyfish, a seal?" Selena didn't really remember, but seeing the jellyfish tattoo on the guy's hand, she suddenly recalled seeing something like that at hbefore.
It was a seal shaped like a jellyfish. Because it was so uniquely shaped, she remembered it. But that thing was just used as a table mat at home.
Once, Barbara was holding it and examining it, and she asked her, "Selena, is this pretty?" "Mom, it's weird. It looks so weird." Barbara patted her head. "Remember what this thing looks like. It might be useful someday, but I hope you never have to use it. You're my daughter. If you ever get bullied, this will be useful." The family was dirt poor back then, and she didn't have much to play with. Barbara suggested playing hide and seek, hiding something from each other, and if the other found it, they lost. Selena hid a small carrot, and Barbara hid the jellyfish-shaped seal.
She never thought it was strange before, but now that she thought about it, the shape and the tattoo were too similar.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSure enough, when the guy heard her mention the seal, his eyes lit up. "Ms. Fair, you do know about this thing." Selena looked at him calmly. "If you killor anyone here, I won't tell you where it is." She had already given a hint, and the guy believed her completely.
The guy raised his hand, and someone cover to unlock Selena's handcuffs.
Selena moved her wrists and then looked into the crowd. "I need a helper." The guy's face went ice-cold, but Selena kept going, "Letpick a girl." Hearing it was a girl, the guy snorted. "Alright, Ms. Fair, who you got in mind?" Selena glanced at Mia, walked over, and yanked her up.
Mia was already freaked out by the bodies around and couldn't even talk. She was shaking and struggling, but Selena snapped, "Shut up!" Mia's tears started pouring, and she thought, 'Raymond, where are you? Selena's lost it. She's gonna getkilled.' She figured Selena was mad 'cause she was gonna snitch on Raymond, so now Selena wanted to use this chance to get rid of her.
Selena didn't bother explaining and looked at the guy in charge. "She's the one." The guy saw she picked a crying girl and asked, "Ms. Fair, what gyou wanna play?" "Hide and seek," Selena said.
As soon as she said that, the guy chuckled like he just heard the funniest joke ever.
Selena waited for him to stop laughing and then calmly pursed her lips. "What, you scared?" The guy was already pumped 'cause Selena picked a crying girl. Hearing her mention hide and seek, he agreed right away.
"Alright, within forty minutes, my men will find you." He confidently wiped the gun in his hand, his tone sinister. "Ms. Fair, you better not try any funny business, or else..." He aimed his gun at a kid.
Selena immediately blocked the gun. "The gjust started. I said, if you hurt anyone, I won't tell you where the thing is." The guy wanted the item, not a bloodbath.
He glanced at his watch. "I'll give you two ten minutes to hide." Selena pulled Mia away.
Mia was so scared her legs went jelly. "Letgo, letgo! My cousin will cto save me!" Selena covered her mouth. "If they know you're Raymond's cousin, you'll die even faster." Mia blinked and got dragged upstairs by her.
They reached a certain floor in the middle.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSelena opened the door to a utility room in the bathroom, which had brooms inside.
Selena quickly dismantled a broom, leaving only a stick in her hand.
Mia was still sobbing, clueless about what Selena was gonna do.
"Stop crying. Even if something happens to me, I v I won't let anything happen to you," Selena said.
Mia's tears kept flowing. Selena handed her the stick and instructed, "When I call a guy in whack him on the head with this stick as hard as you can." "I can't, I can't."
"Mia!" Selena held her hand, her eyes firm. "Calm down! You're from the Montague family. You can do this."
