Just when Raeleigh was scrambling for a solution, several people walked towards her. Raeleigh leaned against the wall, worrying if they were coming after her.
They were gradually closing in on her. Meanwhile, she discovered that these people were preventing others from getting close to her.
Feeling uneasy, she took out her phone. If something was about to happen, then she had to inform Jacky in an instant. Otherwise, it would be too late if it did.
She was ready to dial the number when she received a call.
The phone vibrated. Raeleigh lifted her hand to take a look. It was Jacky. She answered immediately.
"Stay under the radar. Leave it to us and retreat right now. Well handle what's going to happen next."
"I won't leave until I see Santiago."
She couldn't bring herself to leave like this. What if they couldn't save Santiago?
When a person fret so much over another person, their intelligence would diminish over and over again. Raeleigh was a typical example.
Staring at the people in front of her, she put down her phone. Soon, they walked past her and whizzed to the door of the basement.
In no time at all, they had incapacitated the guards at the door, who were at the corner. Although there were guards, there were only a few souls around. Additionally, most of the people were letting it all hang out on the dance floor, making it a sequestered spot.
Nonetheless, Raeleigh felt that there was something amiss. Since Terek had been hiding Santiago inside, it must be guarded strictly. How could he let others know so easily?
Raeleigh drunkenly walked along the wall, tottering. After that, she found a seat and asked the bartender for a drink.
The bartender sized her up and gave her a glass of scotch. She swirled the glass while gazing at the image reflected in it. At the present moment, although her back was to the door of the basement, Raeleigh could see clearly what was going on.
The people at the door did go in, but when they went in, there was another group of people waiting inside, leading up to a fight breaking out.
Raeleigh turned her head to look at the bartender, resting her chin on her hands. "Aw, shucks. I was trying to go to the washroom. How did I end up here?"
The bartender was amused. He licked the tip of his tongue. "The washroom is over there."
The bartender's eyes were fixed on Raeleigh's cleavage. Raeleigh almost fell down when she tried to rise to her feet, and she wanted to make her way to the washroom. The bartender came out instantly and bent over to support her. "I'll take you there. With you like this, I doubt you can make it."
Raeleigh shook her head and followed the bartender to the washroom. While walking, they were stopped by someone.
"I'll take it from here." Raeleigh was stunned for a moment. It was the bouncer.
"You can shove it." The bartender was less than thrilled.
"This chick is one of Terek's." As he spoke, the bouncer pulled Raeleigh over. Hearing Terek's name, the bartender reluctantly let go of her.
At that moment, Raeleigh was leaning against the bouncer in a daze. The bouncer took the chance to hug her in his arms while saying to the bartender, "I will send her back. You, get back to work."
With Raeleigh in his arms, he brought her upstairs.
Raeleigh had touched the glass of scotch. Even though she did not drink it, she was then emitting the smell of liquor.
Along the way, he said, "You can't hold your booze, yet you were still drinking. The lower ground was full of bad guys. Why did you come down?"
"Washroom, I was looking for the washroom. He said he would tell me where it is if I chug the glass of whiskey."
Raeleigh pretended to answer while in a daze, as though she was drunk.
He was at a loss for words. "There is a washroom in Terek's room."
"I didn't find it."
Again, he was lost for words. He took Raeleigh back downstairs, opened a door, pushed Raeleigh in, and pointed at the washroom. "Just there."
Raeleigh glanced at it. "Okay."
