Chapter 535 - Sarah Michelle

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom

The pungent stink of the garbage was as bad as the smell of rotten fish!

The flies in the garbage bin were crawling all over the woman's body. She felt like she had fallen into a manure pit. Every inch of her body was covered with putrifying waste, and flies crawled all over her body like maggots. She felt like puking and wanted so badly to get out of the garbage container, but she couldn't because she would be dead the moment she showed herself.

She was Sarah Michelle. Earlier, her bodyguards helped her escape from the clutches of Khun Sa Mercenary Corps that were after her. Some of them were killed, while the others were captured. She knew that the men in the Khun Sa Mercenary Corps were cruel, and if she got caught, she would be as good as dead.

WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!

The dogs' barking was getting closer and closer, and she estimated that they were about ten meters away from her. She could even hear the mercenaries' footsteps. She did not even dare to breathe, and all that she could do was close her eyes and pray to God for help.

"Pooh, it's f*cking smelly! Even the dogs are losing their sense of smell-do you think the woman would be hiding here?"

Sarah shuddered when she heard a man's husky voice from a short distance away, and it made the hair on her body stand on ends.

"Stop bullsh*tting, that's impossible! Even men like us can't stand the smell, so do you think the Michelle family's darling daughter could? This would be worse than killing her."

"Haha, haha … You're right, let's go then and check elsewhere."

When Sarah Michelle heard that, it took the weight off her mind. The barking and the footsteps were moving further away, and soon she couldn't hear them anymore. Only then did she push the garbage container lid open very carefully and stuck half of her head out like a mole. She looked left and right, and once she was sure that the danger was gone, she quickly climbed out.

She climbed out of the container, and although the air outside was not the freshest and still reeked of garbage, it was much better than being in the garbage bin. But she could not stop vomiting, and she almost puked her guts out.

"Why, if it isn't the beautiful Miss Sarah who has just climbed out of a manure pit!"

Sarah was startled and froze when she heard the voice coming from behind her. It sounded like that of the devil, and when Sarah looked up, her eyes opened wide in shock. Two mercenaries, clad in camouflage uniforms, were standing nearby, looking at her with smirks on their faces, and one of them was holding on to a huge hound on a leash.

They did not leave?

They must have said that on purpose to deceive her!

Sarah was like a spooked rabbit, and she quickly got up, turned around, and ran.

BANG!

A bullet whistled past her ear at high velocity as it tore through the air. It made her skin crawl. Her survival instincts told her to stand still, and she did not dare to move.

One of the men held a smoking gun in front of his chest, and a smile formed on his face. "Oh shit, I missed! Miss Sarah, go on, run, let's see if the second bullet will hit you, haha, haha," he sneered.

The other man was pacifying the bloodhound, and he was also laughing scornfully as he glared at her.

Sarah broke into a cold sweat, and she slowly turned around. She knew that the monster missed her on purpose. These mercenaries certainly could kill her with only one shot at such a short distance.

She forced herself to calm down and tried to negotiate her way out. "How much did the Libyan rebel fighters give you? I … I can give you twice as much … You mercenaries are guns for hire, right?"

"Haha, haha… Why, this is becoming interesting!"

The two men exchanged looks and stepped closer toward Sarah.

The huge hound growled, baring its teeth, as it sniffed her all over, barking from time to time. Sarah was so scared that she froze, worried that a bite from those powerful jaws and sharp teeth would kill her.

Her voice trembling, she said, "You guys will get twice as much money, I … I can also make sure that my family will not go after you, t-this is killing two birds with one stone…"

"Haha, haha…"

The two men burst out in mock laughter after they heard what she had to say.

The man who took the shot earlier put his gun away and said, "We are indeed guns for hire, but Miss Sarah, what you may not know is that mercenaries have principles too-how can the target be the employer? And, do you know what the Libyan rebel fighters promised us? The ownership of an island. After we kill you and after the rebel fighters get sovereignty over Libya, we will have an island that belongs to us forever, and that will be our haven."

Sarah was flabergasted, for she did not expect that the Libyan rebels would be willing to give Khun Sa a reward of such scale. Coming from a renowned and affluent family, she was much more composed than ordinary women, and she tried to instill doubts in their minds. "Aren't you worried that the Libyan rebels will double-cross you? I mean, once they finish off … Finish off Bai family's soldiers, they would go back on their word and attack you guys instead!"

"You don't have to worry about that. Just hand over the thing!"

"What thing?"

THUMP!

The man punched Sarah in the stomach, so forceful that she doubled over and her body almost went into spasms. Her face was distorted from the pain.

"I thought you were a smart woman. Who would've thought that you'd be this stupid!"

The man sneered and gestured to his partner to body search Sarah thoroughly, but what they found was only a small video camera. The SD card that contained the Libyan rebels' acts of violence and cruelty was missing.

"Where is the card?"

The man pulled Sarah by her hair forcefully and questioned her, glaring at her with glowering eyes filled with fury.

The hound sensed its master's anger and started to bark incessantly.

Ss the man pulled harder at Sarah's hair, she felt like her scalp was almost tearing off, and she cried out in pain. "Let me go … Let me go,"

she shrieked.

She struggled with all her might. Even a rabbit would bite when it was cornered, and Sarah was that rabbit. She grabbed the man's wrist and bit on it with all her might.

"Arghh!"

The bite was so painful that he shouted out, "Sh*t!"

He immediately gave her a kick in the stomach.

There was a sickening thud, and Sarah was sent flying back like a kite on a broken string. She landed heavily on the garbage-filled ground, and there was a trace of blood from the corner of her mouth.

Furious, the man looked at the bite mark on his wrist, and finally, he showed his true colors.

"You f*cking bitch, you wanna die?"

He rolled up his sleeves, strode toward Sarah, then he started to kick her repeatedly.

As a mercenary, he was well-built and robust. In a fit of rage, he could not control the strength of his kicks. A desperate woman's cries of pain and anguish rang out across the dumpsite.

The hound was barking furiously, but the other man merely smiled and tried to calm it down as he observed the beating like he watching a show. At the same time, he took out his walkie-talkie and reported the situation to his superior. "Captain Dragon, Captain Skull, Sarah Michelle has been caught," he said.

"Location?"

"The garbage dump beside Huijin Plaza!"

"Keep an eye on her; we'll be right there."

"Roger that."

He released the talk switch on the walkie-talkie and continued calming the hound, oblivious to his partner beating Sarah Michelle.
