"So, why don't we utilize our strength to see who has the right to acquire the girl behind you?" Samantha asked as she took a battle stance.
Denali on the other hand was also ready for the fight. Even though she was surprised by the armor that was being worn by Samantha, she wasn't that much surprised because she had already got any information about the armor.
But, what she was wary about was definitely the laser weapons. She had never tested the power of the weapons before, and as such, she wasn't sure of the method that she was going to deal with them.
But, there was yet another thing that was currently disturbing her. That was the hotel. This was just one of the branches of the Glaze hotel. Even so, this branch was just as important as the main hotel.
She wasn't ready to clash with the lady in front of her inside the place where they were. She knew all too well that if a fight occurred between the two of them, there was bound to be a lot of destruction in the area.
Since this was Jack's hotel, with her loyalty towards him, there was no way that she was going to allow the property that he owned to be destroyed, unless there was no any other choice.
At this moment, if she was asked to choose between protecting Celine, and protecting the hotel, she would definitely go for Celine. A building could be bought, but the same couldn't be said about Celine's life in case it was taken.
"Why don't we take this fight out of here?" Denali asked. But all the same, she didn't have much hope that the lady in front of her was going to agree. After all, this was an advantageous situation for her.
When she heard what Denali had proposed, Samantha contemplated for a moment. She was wondering why Denali actually cared about the low lives of the people that were present inside the hotel.
But after thinking again, she thought that perhaps this was a good idea. Although she and Erick could fight, they could also kill, but they were not allowed to destroy a city.
With the weapons that she currently possessed, if she was given time, she could definitely leave this city in ruins. That was just how terrifying the abilities of the guardians of the organizations were.
At this moment, other than that, she believed that as long as she got out of the city, perhaps she might extend the period at which Erick would find her. For that reason, she might get a chance to slip away after defeating Denali.
"If that is the case, then the girl behind you will have to come with us. After all, I am fighting you because I want to get her." Samantha replied.
Denali frowned for a moment. They had already informed Jack about where they currently were. And so, if they moved away, they were going to give Jack a hard time finding them.
She had proposed getting out of here because she didn't want to destroy the building where the hotel was located. At the same time, she wanted to take the fight away from Celine.
But from the expression of the other party, it was clear that she wasn't going to agree to that unless Celine followed them.
Denali hesitated for a moment as she gazed at Celine. She wasn't sure if the lady who had come over to attack them had other companions or not. So, she didn't think that it was good to risk taking Celine with her.
Just as she was about to disagree with the proposition, Celine spoke. "I agree to that."
Even though it was true that she didn't know why the two of them wanted to get out of here, she had a hint. It was definitely to ensure that they didn't destroy anything here.
With all the hard work that Jack had been putting in, in order to set up the hotel as a monopoly, there was no way that Celine was going to allow it to be destroyed.
Moreover, she had information about how the soldiers were killed. Olivia had already given her the details that she knew about. So, she definitely knew about the weapons that were possessed by those who were supposedly from the stronghold.
Even though she didn't know the real power of the weapons, she didn't think that it was any less than a gun. With a gun's ability, it could definitely lay the hotel into ruins.
"Celine, that is not possible. I cannot be sure about what is going to happen outside there. So, you will have to stay here." Denali stated.
"But you know that she won't let that happen, right? So, let us just go and avoid all that much trouble." Celine replied. Although she knew that this was going to be dangerous, what choice did the two of them have?
Since she was the target, then it was true that she had to be present. Otherwise, why would the other party be fighting?
Denali wanted to say more, but she was forced to stop when she looked into Celine's eyes. At this moment, there was a great amount of determination and resolution.
After spending a long time with Celine, Denali had come to know of her character. If she made up her mind, then there was no way that another person was going to change it that easily.
Since they were going to leave, Denali decided to inform Jack about this. She had to make sure that he knew where they were, or else he was going to go around looking for them without any clue.
When Samantha saw that Denali had taken out her phone, she asked curiously, "Whom are you trying to contact? Don't tell me that you are trying to call your partner so that you can fight me two against one?"
"I'm informing my boss that we are leaving. I hope you don't mind that." Denali replied nonchalantly.
Samantha was surprised for a moment. But after thinking about it, she thought that perhaps having the boyfriend coming to the scene was also good for her. As long as she managed to beat Denali, then she was going to get the two targets at once.
So, she didn't make any attempt to stop Denali from contacting Jack. She just stood at the side and waited.
After Denali had informed Jack about the current situation, the three of them walked out of the room. In order not to attract more attention, Samantha had again put on the long overcoat.
This hotel was located close to the outskirts of the city. So, the three ladies got out of the city just after taking a cab for a while.
Even though the taxi drivers were surprised when they saw that the ladies were stopping in the middle of nowhere, they shrugged their shoulders as they left. Anyway, what the ladies were here to do didn't concern them at all.
When they were alone, inside a forest that was just outside the city, Samantha stood in front of the two ladies with a smile still on her face.
From the previous clash, she could tell that Denali was stronger than her. But, she was at an advantageous position considering that she was having her equipment on.
Samantha believed that on the other hand, since Denali wasn't ready to fight, she had not brought over her armor. All the same, she thought that this was her advantage.
She knew all too well about the advantages of the armor that she was putting on. That was the reason as to why, every moment that she dared to step out of the room that she always stayed in, she will make sure that she was putting on the armor.
"Why don't we wait for him to come over?" Samantha gave a proposal. She wasn't worried that Jack, whom she had investigated a lot during the past few days, was going to cause her trouble.
From the observations that she had made, she didn't find anything peculiar about Jack other than the fact that he had a subordinate who was Denali, who was even stronger than her.
As for the methods that he utilized to subdue Denali or what he had offered her in return for her services, that was something that she was willing to ask for. That was the reason as to why she was looking forward to meeting Jack face to face.
Denali had been thinking all along on how she was going to make the lady in front of her wait for Jack to arrive. But who would have thought that the lady was going to give the suggestion by herself?
Beep! Beep!
Denali was just about to agree to the suggestion when suddenly, there was an alarming sound coming from the wrist of the lady in front of her.
Samantha didn't expect this as she hurriedly pressed something on her wrist several times. After a while, her expression turned grim as her eyes narrowed.
"Are you kidding me? He already knows that I am here? Humph, it will take him some time to arrive here. By then, I will already be done with what brought me here." Samantha muttered loudly.
Immediately after that, she charged towards Denali, ready to defeat her as soon as possible so that she can take away Celine before Erick arrived here.
She wasn't ready to have her plans ruined for something like this. Since she had left the stronghold, she had to go back with something.
