"Of course, the organization never tells lies. Besides, it's useless to keep someone whose heart is no longer in the organization by force."
"Good, I promise you!"
"Very well, Summer, you never let me down. This time, I hope you won't likewise."
Summer gave a cold laugh and hung up the phone without another word.
The wind was blowing hard in the night. She stepped outside onto the terrace and looked out at the slim, indistinct lights of the night, then narrowed her eyes slightly.
After a moment, she curled her lips and pulled the phone out of her trouser pocket.
She switched it on and looked at the phone number on it, which she had dialed only a short while ago, and a hint of mixed emotions crossed her eyes.
"Seven, I'm done with my business. I've just sent someone to inquire about the matter you asked me to look into for you, and now I have some information on hand. Is it convenient for you to come out and meet me in person?"
When Natalia heard her say that, she agreed, "Yes, where are you? I'll be right over."
"I'll send you the address."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, a chill flashed across her eyes before she quickly edited a text message and sent it over.
Natalia and Archie drove their car, and after arriving at the address Summer had sent her, they realized that it was an upscale hotel.
She hurriedly followed the address Summer had given her and took the lift to the forty-eighth floor.
As soon as they stepped out of the lobby, they came outside into the open-air garden, then saw Summer sitting on the sofa.
She was surrounded by a number of men who were laughing and giggling as if they were trying to get her to drink.
Natalia frowned. When she saw that Summer's face looked a bit off, she quickly ran over and just pushed the men out of the way, then said in a stern voice, "What are you doing?"
When those men saw her coming, they laughed, "Where's this chick from? She's quite pretty!"
As he said that, he was about to stretch out his hand to caress her face.
However, before he could reach up, his hand was pressed by a large palm. Then with a click, his wrist was broken.
The man screamed and fell backward, shouting, "Who dares to hurt me?"
The next moment, he was kicked in the knee and his legs went limp, and he fell to his knees with a thud.
Archie looked stern, "Watch your language!"
The man, having suffered a loss, looked up at him and noticed how he was dressed. He knew at first glance that he was a man of great importance, so he did not dare to say anything else and left in a huff as he covered his painful arm.
It was then that Summer seemed to sober up. When she saw Natalia, she smiled and said, "Seven, you're here. Come and drink with me!"
Natalia's frown deepened as she saw how drunk she looked.
Archie couldn't help but frown too.
"I thought she said she had information to reveal to us. Why is she so drunk?"
Actually, Natalia thought it was strange too.
But she hadn't been in touch with Dragon Club for years. Although Summer used to be her good friend, they hadn't been in contact for a few years, so naturally, she wouldn't know too much about her.
Therefore, she didn't say anything and only said in a quiet voice, "Let's help her back first. This is not the place to talk."
Archie nodded in agreement.
Natalia then stepped forward and snatched the glass from her hand, and said in a deep voice, "No more drinks. Come with me!"
And with that, she helped her up from the sofa.
"No! Just drink with me! I haven't even had enough."
Summer yelled and went to get a glass.
Natalia instantly burst into tears and just stared at her with hatred.
Summer's face paled, but she said nothing.
People who had been familiar were now as strange and frightening as if they were meeting each other for the first time.
"Call an ambulance, please. Is there anyone who can help call an ambulance!"
Some kind-hearted people rushed to call an ambulance for them.
Natalia hugged Archie and sobbed uncontrollably.
A glint of self-deprecation flashed in Summer's eyes before she turned around.
There was no one around to stop her, and Natalia could only watch as the murderer turned around and disappeared quickly down the panicked crowd.
She hugged Archie tightly and said in a trembling voice, "Archie, you can't die! Open your eyes and look at me. You must not die. You have to hold on. You have to hold on."
Endless fear came up from the depths of her heart, like a giant hand that was pulling her down into the abyss.
There had never been a moment when she had been so afraid, so terrified, as she was now.
She was so scared that she couldn't even find the strength to ask why.
All she knew was that nothing could happen to him, that he must not die.
Never.
Archie's eyes were closed, and he could not speak, except to hold her hand tightly.
His grip was so tight that her fingers were almost crushed by him, yet she felt no pain at all.
Natalia hugged him, and her head was in turmoil. She thought about what she had come to Othua for this time and remembered the sudden phone call Summer had just made.
She suddenly understood something and whimpered, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you come with me. I was too stupid to trust her. I'm begging you. You mustn't die. Nothing must happen to you."
