The Villain's Wife (Book 2)

The End

However, how could Lisa allow them to get out of the cell that they were hiding? The loud sound of a heavy metal hitting the concrete floor interrupted them. Slowly their eyes widened, mouths turned agape at the grenade on the floor.

*BOOM*

The loud explosion made the walls of the underground facility tremble, slowly the walls started shaking, big pieces of debris started falling.

"It's going to collapse!" Seulgi's voice echoed. "Let's go."

The others didn't wait for Lisa's orders as they started running towards the exit. Their footsteps

"Mudak! I won't let you get away with this!" They heard someone shout. Lisa and Seulgi immediately turned their heads towards the ruined prison cell where Kuznetsov and his men were located. When they saw Kuznetsov stood, their faces turned grim. How could he survive a grenade? Unless... Lisa didn't have the time to think about it.

"Seulgi... take everyone out!" He instructed, determination flashing in his eyes before he ran towards the six-foot-five giant a few feet away from him. "Bastard! Die!" Despite the shaking of the floor, Lisa was still able to reach the man in a matter of seconds. He let out a kick that was easily avoided by Kuznetsov. The onslaught that followed was expected. Fist against fist, kick against kick, the two fought like madmen, both enraged, both thirsty for more blood.

"Fuck!" A gush of blood came rushing out of Kuznetsov's arms. "Sneaky bastard!" He eyed the card-like weapon in Lisa's arms. He might be old but Kuznetsov was senile enough to know that the cards were poisoned. Narrowing his eyes at his younger opponent, Kuznetsov let out another swear. If he was at his prime, he could easily defeat Lisa's agile movements.

But that Is not the case now. He was in his sixties. The only thing that he relied on was his military training and a sturdy body. His movements were long hindered by his age. He tried to stop the bleeding using his hand as he let out another curse. Is this man really going to end him?

For a few seconds, both of them were silent, their eyes had long adjusted to the darkness. The floors beneath them continued to shake. "Is it worth it?" Kuznetsov suddenly asked. "Mr. Oh... you will die with me. Right now. Just because of a man who owns the heart of the woman that you love. Is it worth it?" A sneer escaped his lips.

"Does it matter?" Lisa responded. "Why are you asking questions when you are about to die anyway?"

"Die?" He snorted and showed Lisa a remote in his hand. "If I die... you die with me." Slowly, he started chuckling before it turned into a burst of full-blown laughter, so sinister and ominous, Lisa could feel the chill running down his spine. "You and I will die today! Isn't that amusing?"

Lisa's eyes darted towards the rectangular remote in Kuznetsov's hands, his face showed no emotions. "Is that a bomb that will make the whole house explode?" He asked.

"Are you worried that Jennie will die too?" Kuznetsov let out another laugh. "Yes... this is indeed a bomb designed to ruin the whole property. Hmph! Why do you think I would choose to build a fortress in the middle of nowhere? Isn't that to guard my secrets?"

"You talk too much!"

"Why not talk? No matter what happens... you and that Jennie will die. I mean... who knows really. I believe Victor already took care of her. With her death, the files will be lost forever." Since he didn't get the file, why would he let the order get it? That would only waste his efforts to obtain the file for himself!

"Fool!" Lisa said. "I already gave the file to the Order!"

"You what?"

"You heard me." He smiled, showing his bloodied teeth at the old man.
