"Then I would make it again. If not here, then somewhere else. But I will not stop until I destroy Penny and her family completely." Emma would have laughed at the threat. Nora did not hold any power or wealth. While Penny’s family could be counted in the top 100 richest families, it is not in the top ten.
She would be trampled easily. But when she looked at the hatred and killing intent on that calm face, she did not doubt Nora at all. But she was impressed by her determination. She looked too mature for her age. Just like them who had seen everything in their life.
"I can help you with that if you join us." Emma regretted a bit when Nora only narrowed her eyes. She had taken a big gamble. But if Nora double crossed them, they could silence her. There was nothing to lose.
"You mean that club?" Nora frowned when Emma nodded.
"You know... everyone in this world is divided into categories. Oppressed and oppressors. We have been in the first category for a long time and decided to change it. You look the same. It is not everyday that I offer a chance at your age." It means that they take kids in that field. Nora wanted to berate the girl to hire kids for assassinations and criminal jobs.
"You are looking down on us." Killing intent appeared in Emma’s eyes. "You have no idea who we are!"
"I am not looking down on you." Emma sneered but Nora continued, "I just feel bad for the kids that were trained to be a criminal in the future to save their life."
"..."
"You could have a bright future. But now, you live in the shadows. I just felt.. Forget it. I still respect you that you have achieved power even if it costs too much." Emma felt at a loss of words. The girl was insulting them but she could not even refute it.
"But I want a different path for myself. My hatred for my family did not go to the point where I wanted to kill them. All I wanted was for the world to know their truth. And it is only my war. I may take help but I do not let anyone else take revenge for me. But I respect your offer." Nora bowed her head with a sincere look but the frost in Emma’s eyes did not melt.
She kept staring at Nora with darkness looming in her eyes.
"You talk as if you are not dirtying your hands for hurting them." Nora shook her head, not at all raging that Emma was angry.
"I will dirty my hands. I will go as far as killing someone if needed but after that, I will accept all my crimes and submit myself to the police. I have no desire to live once my goal is achieved." Emma could see the sincerity in her voice. As if her life meant nothing but just a tool for getting her revenge.
"Why go that far?" EMma could not understand. Damon had personally investigated the girl. She had been bullied by her uncle for a decade now. But not to the length that she was ready to give her life for destroying them. "It is only natural that they would bully you a bit. Many had the worst, you know. And.."
"My parents death might not be natural." it was the first time Nora had accepted it aloud. In her past life, she had not even doubted it. But now, she knew! Emma’s eyes flickered finally and the rage in her heart calmed a bit.
"I have already used your name. I had a different plan at first. But your behavior toward me gave me the courage to take this bold step. You can refuse. But if you will not, I will owe you a favor. I will give my life if you ever need to repay you." Nora promised with a solemn look. "But next time, I need you to go and meet Penny. Recordings are not enough, I want more proof." Emma looked away as if she was still contemplating.
"You said you are part of the organization, right? How about I hire your services for this task?" Emma raised a brow and laughed.
"I am still in my training period. I can not take on tasks already." She rolled her eyes making Nora right. "But I can take this as a chance to temper myself. Alright, Nora. you are lucky that i am in a mood of mischief. Tell me what your plan is and I will consider it." Emma’s eyes gleamed with something dangerous.
Nora knew that she was playing with fire. But there was no hesitation on her face as she shared the details. But in the end, Emma was speechless.
"All this time when you were insulted and harassed on social media. When strange rumors surrounded you all over, I thought you were either a pitiful girl who did not have the power to fight against them. Or an indifferent person who did not care much what others thought about her.
But never in the world have I thought that you are the instigator! You are adding insults and rumors to yourself!" She sucked in a deep breath. For the first time, she had failed to understand something.
She was told to never underestimate someone, yet!
"It was needed. People have strange thoughts. One good thing and they would forget about all the bad things you have committed in the past. While no matter how good an image you have, one mistake and they will doubt everything you have done for them." Nora laughed and Emma shook her head.
"Who would believe it if I go and tell them that you have done all this yourself. You are playing with them from the start." even she would not believe it if someone else told this to her. "So, you want to end this once for all now by using me?"
"... No! It will only be my first attack."
