Unscented

Melissa held the steering wheel with one hand and held the door handle with the other. She drove to the garbage dump.

There came a loud bang.

The car crashed into the dump violently and failed to stop as the brakes were broken.

With the wheels rubbed against the ground, the car gradually slowed down.

Melissa took the chance and opened the car door quickly. She protected her head and jumped down nimbly.

A great pain hit her as soon as she came down hard on the concrete.

Melissa rolled to a pile of plastic foam on the side and finally stopped.

What a narrow escape it was!

Melissa heaved a sigh of relief.

Melissa’s expression turned cold as she looked at the car that was severely deformed due to the collision.

Why did her brakes stop working suddenly?

There must have been someone behind the matter.

The person broke her brakes and meant to kill her. Who was the person?

Melissa calmed herself down and got up from the ground. She took out her phone and intended to call Anthony to find out who was behind the matter.

Just as she took out her phone, a group of men in black appeared and rushed into the narrow alley. Instantly, Melissa was surrounded.

Melissa frowned at them.

She wondered if it was them who had destroyed the brakes of her car.

A scar-faced man in a suit walked out of the crowd. "Ms. Eugen, sorry for the offence."

The others were all respectful to him, and it seemed that the scar-faced man was their leader.

Melissa narrowed her eyes and stared at the horrible scar on the man’s face.

Something occurred to her suddenly. If she was not wrong, the man was Nolan the Beheader. He had been famous in recent years.

He was cruel and did lots of bad things.

"Bring her phone over!"

As soon as Nolan gave the order, a man in black stepped forward and snatched the phone from Melissa’s hand.

Then, the other two big men came forward and tied Melissa’s hands up.

Two men in black pulled Melissa up to Nolan and looked at her lustfully. "Boss, she is beautiful."

Melissa’s expression didn’t change at all. She didn’t show any panic from beginning to end.

She wanted to know who was behind the matter and ordered people to kill her.

"Did you break my car?" Melissa asked coldly.

"That’s right!" Nolan sneered.

"Nolan the Beheader, you cut a dash recently. You have never failed a mission. I never thought that you would come to me today," Melissa said indifferently.

"I didn’t expect you to know my name," Nolan had a look of surprise on his face as he spoke.

The woman had her hands tied, but she was not as weak as the other women he had seen. Instead, she looked calm.

She was so brave that she jumped out of the car and saved herself when the brakes were broken.

"You’ve been famous recently. Of course, I know you." Melissa leaned against the wall behind her and looked at him calmly.

She wondered who exactly wanted to harm her.

Although Nolan was the one who appeared in front of her, he couldn’t be the mastermind.

After all, she had no conflict with Nolan. Why would he waste so much effort dealing with her?

The only possibility was that someone had instigated Nolan to hurt her.

She had heard of Nolan before. He was ruthless. He became powerful and influential in the underworld in only a few years.

This man was definitely not a good person. However, few people could afford to order him to do anything.

The person must be more powerful than Nolan.

Who was it?

"Ms. Eugen, let’s cut to the chase. I have no time to talk with you anymore. I’m sorry."

Nolan’s eyes turned cold and murderous. Just as he raised his hand, the group of black-clothed people around him rushed over with a sack. They planned to knock Melissa out and take her away.

Melissa knew what they probably would do.

They would either throw her into the sea or strangle her to death and bury her in an unknown place.

However...

She looked at the men in black in front of her without panic. She seemed not to be afraid of them at all.

She said, "What a pity...

"Nolan the Beheader, it’s time for you to go through the pains of failure today!"

Melissa had observed Nolan and his people for a while. With her skills, she stood a good chance of escaping unscathed from them.

"What do you mean?" Nolan narrowed his eyes.

"Literally, you can’t kill me," Melissa said with a sullen look.

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hands that were originally tied behind her back. When Nolan and the others didn’t notice, she managed to free herself. She smiled coldly. "Don’t think lowly of me. You can’t tie me up."

The two men who had tied her hands were stunned. "It’s impossible. We tied her up tightly just now."

"That’s right! I deliberately hit a knot. How did she undo it herself?"

Unlike them, Nolan was calm. With his arms crossed, he looked at Melissa with interest and said, "I indeed underestimated you. Given that I want to take your life, I have made sufficient preparations."

After a pause, he said in a cold voice, "I worked hard to make a name for myself."

As soon as Nolan finished his words, he wore a vicious look and motioned his people to handle Melissa.

In an instant, the other men rushed over to Melissa with steel tubes in their hands.

Melissa was flexible. She moved to the side and ruthlessly grabbed the arm of the person who was charging at her. The person howled in pain.

With one hand gripping the man, she used the other hand to take the steel tube from his hand. Then, she hit his knees hard with the tube.

A crisp sound was heard soon.

The man let out a groan in pain and collapsed to the ground. His knees shattered, and he was crippled.

The others on the side did not expect Melissa to be this ruthless. For a moment, they were frightened and stood motionlessly.

Nolan was shocked as well. He wondered, Melissa looks gentle and weak. How could she be this powerful?

No wonder she seems to be arrogant. I thought she had asked people to save her.

It turns out that she is strong.

"What are you doing? Are you scared of her? Hurry up and attack her altogether," Nolan said with a fierce tone. He glared at Melissa with deep eyes.

He thought, if I fail to kill her today, I will no longer be able to survive in the underworld!

I have to kill her!
