37. Fantastic Pricing
"You... aren't you with you, Jesi?" asked Aurora to someone already in front of her.
Aurora felt strange because Jesi just said she was currently with the man in front of her. She looked at the man with a questioning look.
"Jesi, lied to you."
"You mean? Which lie?"
Aurora listened to the explanation given by the man in front of her. After saying what she had to say, the man left her and handed over something from Jesi for her.
She saw the man depart. She thought he was not ordinary because he could quickly enter and exit her house. She also saw a flash drive in her hand.
"I want to know what's in it!" Aurora muttered as she walked to a closet and picked up her laptop.
After sitting on the bed, Aurora put her laptop away. She saw that there was some data and video. Without wasting any time, she opened the data one by one. After that, she opened the video on the flash drive.
"Looks like I have to go to Philadelphia right away," Aurora muttered as she unplugged the flash drive and turned off her laptop.
She took her phone and contacted someone. When she arrived in Philadelphia, she asked the man to prepare everything she needed.
"I'll meet you there! And I want you to also prepare some of the greatest people you have!" Aurora said again to the person on the other end of the phone. After that, he disconnected the phone.
Aurora walked towards her dressing room. She changed her clothes and took some of the weapons she needed. After that, Aurora walked out from inside her room. She immediately entered the car and drove it out of her home area.
She arrived in Philadelphia at four in the morning. Aurora decided to go to a house where her friend lived. Her friend was also a hitman who lived in the city.
"I thought you'd ask, Odelia," said a woman who had just sat beside Aurora.
"I don't know where she is now. Maybe she is on her own mission."
Aurora never binds the people by her side. In other words, she did not restrain if Odelia or the woman beside her accepted the mission without her.
The two of them began to talk about everything they would do in the next two hours. Aurora felt happy with the woman beside her because she had carried out half of her mission this time, making it easier to speed up the completion.
"Aurora, aren't you worried about the hunter who wants your life?" The woman asked after discussing this mission with Aurora.
"Are you also interested in the reward given for my life, Stela?" Aurora asked the woman next to her.
"Tempted by the price of your life which is so fantastic. However, I don't want it because you are my life. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have been able to live to this second."
Stella again reminds Aurora of their first meeting. When she was in a critical state, her sister was in the hands of the enemy.
Aurora just listened silently to Stella talk about their meeting. She expected that their meeting would continue this second, even though she had freed the woman next to her to live with a new identity so that she would not feel the loss of her loved one again.
"Stela, you better see this!" a woman said as she ran towards Stella and handed her a tablet.
Stella picked up the tablet her colleague had just given her. She opened a video sent by another colleague already at where she and Aurora were going and showed the footage to Aurora.
Aurora looked at the video, and Stela looked at it. She felt annoyed by what she saw. She clenched her fists because the people in the video were so violent and vile.
"Is the woman still alive?" asked Aurora to the woman in front of her.
"It looks like she's still alive. I feel like they're all waiting for someone," the woman replied.
"What they're waiting for is me."
Aurora said as she walked out of the room. She knew Stela's house well. She entered a room containing weapons she could use in Claudia's rescue mission.
"I prepared a weapon that you will definitely like," said Stela while handing over a weapon that had been modified by her and was indeed special for Aurora.
Aurora smiled as she accepted the weapon that was already in her hand. She felt that this weapon was very light. She was counting how many needles there were in her gun and how strong the poison was in those needles.
"One hundred. I can only insert a hundred needles. Meanwhile, the poison can only paralyze people in thirty minutes," explained Stela, who guessed the contents of Aurora's mind, who was looking at the weapon made by her.
"Good. This is enough for now," continued Aurora.
After picking up some weapons, Aurora and Stela left. They went straight to the location where Claudia was being held. Aurora wants to complete her mission immediately.
It wasn't long before Aurora arrived in an area where criminals could act as they pleased to rule.
"Are you sure if they're all there?" asked Aurora to Stela.
"I'm sure! My colleagues will not be wrong because they are my people who are competent in this field."
Aurora was a little surprised when she heard the sound of gunshots coming from inside a building in front of her. She also pulled out her weapon, as well as Stela and several women who were nearby.
"We are spreading! Whatever happens, we must also protect each other!" Aurora ordered, which everyone could hear through the earpiece.
All the women began to move into the building in front. One by one, they managed to paralyze some people guarding the building.
"Now it's our turn!" said Aurora to Stella as she entered the building.
Once inside the building, Aurora orders Stella to scatter and search for where Claudia is being held. She entered a room, and the door was tightly closed.
She heard the voice of a woman moaning in pain. And there was the voice of an angry man. I don't know what the woman did that made the man furious.
"You're curious, aren't you? Then just join!" A man asked Aurora as he pointed a gun.
The man pushed Aurora's body into the room. Aurora was stunned when she saw the people in the room.
"You...."
