Chapter 699: Chapter 44: Jask VS Copernicus (Monthly ticket plus update!)_2 Chapter 699: Chapter 44: Jask VS Copernicus (Monthly ticket plus update!)_2 She was at a crossroads.
But in reality...
she had no choice.
The burly man across the dining table was definitely one of Copernicus’s men.
Whether he had been planted in the security team from the start, or had been turned by Copernicus halfway through, the man holding two Taser stun guns was determined to take the mini-fridge today.
If she cooperated, he would take her with him to meet Copernicus.
If she did not cooperate, he would shoot her, stun her, and then leave unimpeded with the mini-fridge.
...
In any case, she, unarmed, would not be able to protect the mini-fridge.
The thing was Jask’s property to begin with, and she hadn’t planned on protecting it that much.
What concerned her was...
what Jask said yesterday, that today, “the last missing piece of the puzzle” would automatically come into his hands, and therefore he planned to meet with Lin Xian for negotiations.
If the mini-fridge was stolen now...
Would it affect Jask’s plan?
Would it impact the negotiations between him and Lin Xian?
Angelica felt it probably would.
“I’ll go with you,” she said.
In a dilemma with seemingly no other options, Angelica chose the slightly more hopeful one.
Sitting by the dining table, she began fiddling with the cosmetics and disguise tools, saying to the mirror:
“Turn over that taller female bodyguard on the floor and lay her by the side of the dining table.
I need to see her face for the disguise.”
The burly man nodded, pocketed the two stun guns, and did as Angelica instructed, laying one of the female bodyguards on the floor as a reference for Angelica.
Gel...
nose bridge...
shadowing...
facelift...
hair dye...
Disguising was second nature to Angelica.
It won’t affect my payment.
As long as I can deliver the mini-fridge...
of course, there’s a little difference, but that’s negligible compared to the total amount.”
Before long.
The vehicle arrived at a somewhat old Christian Chapel on the outskirts of town.
The pure white pointed architecture, coupled with the iconic cross on top, was something Angelica had seen countless times abroad, but this was her first time seeing one in China.
Usually, such structures would not appear in the city centers of China, and if they did exist, they wouldn’t be very numerous or conspicuous, mostly located in these outskirts areas.
This chapel in front of her, with mottled outer walls and many areas showing the red bricks within, windows patched with colorful paper, and some shattered, appeared to be not deserted, yet seldom visited for prayer and worship.
Angelica frowned:
“Copernicus is here?”
The burly man shrugged:
“What the hell is Copernicus?
This chapel only has Jesus and Maria.
Now, leave the mini-fridge in the car and go inside yourself.
My job here is done.”
“What?”
Angelica sensed something was off:
“You’re going to take the mini-fridge?
That means Copernicus isn’t inside at all!
You lured me here, what the hell do you want?”
Click.
The burly man pulled out the Taser stun gun from his pocket, pointing it at Angelica:
“Stop talking nonsense, and don’t make me repeat myself.
I obviously know who you are, Hollywood’s Chameleon Witch, but this isn’t your turf, you have no choice.”
...
Reluctantly, Angelica placed the mini-fridge on the passenger seat and walked towards the dilapidated chapel.
Reaching the door,
She placed her palm on the old double doors and turned her head back to see the black Tesla carrying the mini-fridge away, kicking up dust in the distance.
