Somewhere along the side of a path away from downtown in Solustria, Melanie Robertson was standing uneasily under the dim streetlight.
Not far away came a figure.
Melanie was pleased and took a few steps forward.
But finding the approaching figure apparently tall, she stopped again.
"Didn't Vanessa promise to meet me here and go back to the hotel together? Why isn't she here? Is something wrong?" Melanie murmured to herself.
If something happened to Vanessa Robertson, Melanie's half-sister, how could Melanie explain it to their father?
Melanie was worried when she saw several figures suddenly appear not far away.
Melanie had a premonition.
Looking at the people who were obviously walking towards her, Melanie ran away immediately.
But it was too late.
Several vulgar men with lighthearted smiles suddenly jumped out of the alley ahead.
They whistled frivolously, with cigarettes in their mouths, bare arms and tattoos all over them.
A dozen people soon surrounded Melanie in the middle.
Melanie was terrified.
"What... What do you want?" Melanie asked.
A bald man laughed wildly.
"What? Chick, can't you even tell?" the man asked.
Melanie was so frightened that she almost lost her balance and collapsed to the ground.
"To tell you the truth, your sister, who wears a red dress, paid us 400 thousand dollars to take your life.
"Before we end your life, let's enjoy it to the fullest, so it's not in vain," said the man as he laughed crazily once more.
Hearing the man's words, Melanie was shocked to the core. She thought, 'Why? Why did Vanessa pay these men to kill me?'
Ever since Melanie's mother died when she was eight, Tracy Robertson married into the Robertson family with Vanessa, and they had been as harmonious as a real family.
Melanie and Vanessa were as close as related sisters.
This time, it was Tracy who proposed to visit Solustria.
Could it be Vanessa behind all this?
But the situation was so urgent that Melanie didn't have time to figure it out. A dozen men had surrounded her.
One of them had put his hands on her shoulders.
Melanie felt a chill in disgust.
Her right hand touched a broken glass bottle on the ground. She grabbed it in her hand and stabbed at the man smiling grimly at her.
Melanie would rather face death than endure disgrace.
"Go away! You baasturds!" Melanie shouted.
She sprang up, swiping the glass bottle at these men again.
"Guys! Go have your way with her!" the bald man ordered.
As soon as the bald man finished his words, a dozen men rushed to Melanie.
Soon, the hem of her dress was torn.
Just when Melanie was desperate, she suddenly heard the roar of a sports car.
Then Melanie saw a black sportscar driving straight at them.
The car knocked over three strong men and stopped just in front of Melanie.
Melanie's eyes lit up and she threw herself desperately on the car.
"Help me, please..."
Melanie pleaded eagerly, "Help me..."
The car window lowered, revealing a man shrouded in darkness who spoke, his voice icy, "Miss, we'll help you, but you'll need to return the favor."
"What is it? As long as I can do it!" Melanie asked in despair.
She was at such a point of desperation that she would agree to do anything, no matter how expensive, for her rescue.
"We'll save you, and you save our boss!" the man in black said with a chilling voice that hinted at a glimmer of hope.
"Save your boss? How?" Melanie asked.
"Make your choice: being violated by these men or being with a single man?" the man said.
Hearing this, Melanie was stunned.
She didn't expect the man to make such a request.
But it was clear that if she agreed to the deal, she would survive.
If Melanie refused the man now, the photos of her being raped and killed would flood the media by morning.
The decision was painfully clear, even for the simplest of minds.
Melanie had to live!
She wanted revenge!
She wanted to find out the truth!
Melanie didn't know who the man saving her was and where he was taking her.
