26. She is a murderer

"What happened? We were clearly flying on top of the city. Why are we in a forest right now, and where are we? " Lucas asked. He is confused with what he is seeing.

Cleo didn't answer him.

Is it teleportation? Just like the ones I saw in movies? " He asked in his mind. Maybe that word is the answer. Did they teleport? But is that possible?

Cleo opens the door of the villa. It's clean, and everything is arranged neatly.

"We teleported." Cleo said, trying to give answers to the confusion in Lucas's mind.

Lucas can only gape. He can't believe that he just teleported.

Teleportation? Huh! I don't believe that you can do it.

Cleo turned around. "I wasn't the one who did it, but the vehicle we used earlier is the one that is able to teleport." Cleo said, making Lucas stunned.

A motorcycle? Has the woman in front of him made things that others can't?

So where are we? Is this your hideout? "

Cleo threw herself onto her bed. She is so tired because she fought five people before.

"Huh! We are in the middle of the Amazon rainforest. " Cleo said. Lucas can't believe that they are on Amazon.

They were in New York before.

When Lucas looks around, the place is full of alcoholic drinks from different famous and expensive brands. There is nothing special about the villa. It's just a place to rest.

A sting made Cleo check her arm. She can see a wound that is quite deep, but it won't heal because the knife used to slash it has poison.

"You got hurt?" Lucas asked while squatting down to see it.

"It's just a small wound I got from fighting before." Cleo said, getting up to look for some medicine that could heal the wound.

She has to heal it quickly, or else it will spread and be infected.

"Why did you come to this country?" Cleo asked Lucas.

For a moment, Lucas was silent. He looked towards Cleo, who was pouring a drink into a shot glass.

Don't you know why I came here? Why are you even asking? I obviously came to get evidence about what you did. "

"Want to drink?" Cleo asked while taking a bottle of beer from the shelf. She tries to change the topic. What do you think about this place? Isn't it nice? I built it so that I could have a place to rest. This villa is far from any crowd. " Cleo said. "I made it." She said it again.

Cleo looks at Lucas's expression. He doesn't believe her. How can the woman in front of him do it, building a house without the help of another person?

"It seems that you don't believe what I said." Cleo said. "Huh! Fine, I just want to tell you. That kid is on my watch. If you hurt her, I will kill you. " Cleo said, making Lucas frown.

"Why are you protecting her?"

You don't need to know. I need her, that's it. " Cleo said. Even though right now she is Shadow, she still doesn't want Lucas to be suspicious of her.

"What do you know about the man that you just killed?" Lucas asked.

You really want to know? Fine, I'll tell you something. Listen properly; I won't repeat it. " Cleo said. Lucas nodded.

"I was 7 at that time. My parents were killed, and I was sold to the organization. Then I was trained to be an assassin. " Cleo said, starting to tell her story. To survive, I must kill others. What's wrong with that? Nothing right. " Cleo smiled as she sipped her beer.

When Lucas became silent when hearing the story of the woman in front of him, He feels bad for Cleo, who is telling him about her childhood.

When kids at that age usually play with dolls with their friends, I have to play with knives with them. Killing to get food to survive. " Cleo said. "Do you know how it feels to be a kid whose life depends on an organization?"

Lucas frowns. How could the woman in front of him be able to endure that?

I had to kill my friends and couldn't fall in love. Even though the thing I have right now is freedom. Being an assassin to live isn't wrong for us, but it is wrong in other people's eyes.

"I'm sorry for what happened to you."

You don't need to be sorry. I don't want people to feel bad for me. The man I killed in front of so many people is the man who sells kids to be assassins. They get a lot of money from what they do. "

Lucas became silent. He has checked the file that the woman gave him.

"Just like the woman you met, she is also a murderer."
