Veronica maintained her agile movement as she ran forward but also in full alert as she tried to look for the bodyguard and driver.
There she saw, some fifteen feet away from her point was the dead body of the bodyguard beside the wounded driver who looked battered not from the explosion but of fist like from a fight!
Veronica closed her fist in anger and was seen in her eyes.
She managed to approach the wounded driver without his detection, however, turned wildly at her when she was just a few feet away from her.
The look of alertness filled with killing intent, then surprise, then relief gave in to the real intention of the driver.
"He.. he's dead?" Veronica asked softly with a trembling voice.
The driver, who was finally relieved that it's only the weak woman, replied in an urgent and worried voice.
"Yes miss. Where is the old madame?! We need to get to her and save her!"
"I...I don't know! I.....I I was alone when I jumped out and I was looking for her too."
Veronica replied, her soft voice trembling with 'fear'.
Seeing as he has the perfect chance to kill the weak woman even if he's wounded, the driver took his chance. Looking for the Sy Madame will be easier. He already contacted his partner earlier after he killed the bodyguard.
If not caught off guard, he'd doubt that he could even lay a finger on the sturdy and strong bodyguard.
Good thing he was too smart to plan this assasination attempt carefully.
"If you don't mind it, may I ask for your help to help me stand up?" The driver said with 'hesitation', then continued, "the culprit was still around and I believe he'll be back, we need to hurry and go to Madame Vanessa right away to secure her!" He added more with much urgence.
"No! No! I don't want to get back there! Please save me first! I'm afraid to die!!" Veronica shrieked in horror.
After hearing the weak woman's voice, the driver fell into a thought. Then as if enlightened, the driver looked at her with disguise malice as he hovered his sight on her voluptuous figure.
Veronica sensing this and understanding what the driver was thinking felt disgusted, however, felt that her agenda was achieved and had to be patient.
'But I'll be sure to take out those eyeballs later.' Veronica thought, gory things filled her head as to how to torture this man and his accompliced later.
The man she saw earlier was not alone in this assassination attempt but was helped by this driver!
'Traitor!' Veronica once again thought in disgust. She feels the urgency to look over the rest of men around the Sy Madame as well. Who knows how many of them were just spying around.
"Alright. But first let me stand up." The driver said in a resigned tone.
"Ohhh..okey." Just as Veronica approached the driver, the driver suddenly moved to hit on the point behind her neck leaving Veronica right away unconscious.
Just after some seconds, a hurried footstep was heard then another man appeared.
"Where is the Sy Madame?" Then after seeing the unconscious Veronica in his partner's embrace asked, "'Who is she?! You never told me that you have an additional person in the car!!"
The man said with anger, feeling betrayed and worried of the omitted information that could destroy their month's old plan.
"Relax!" The driver said in a happy tone while looking at the woman in his embrace with a lustful gaze.
