Chapter 996: What truly happened
"... if I wasn’t careless, Hera — this body wouldn’t end up brain dead, and Joker wouldn’t get caught."
"What?" Moose breathed out. "What are you talking about? How did you know Joker was caught?"
Heaven slowly shifted her gaze to Moose, lips pressed into a thin line. When she moved her gaze to Dominic, a shallow breath escaped her.
[Flashback]
"Hera... hah! No wonder your actions remind me of the woman in my memory." Dragon grinned deviously, keeping Heaven’s neck locked around his arms from the backseat. "You’re not jumping out of here, Hera. I’ll kill you before anything else."
Heaven clasped the arm wrapped around her neck, slipping her finger in between to create some space for her. Hera, on the other hand, winced in pain. Dragon kicked Hera in the stomach, and it wasn’t just a simple kick. It almost broke her ribcage.
"Fuck..." Heaven hissed through her gritted teeth, keeping her eyes on the road. Despite Dragon’s hold on her, she stretched her other hand on the steering wheel, turning it so they wouldn’t cross the other side of the road.
"You bitch..." Dragon hissed, tightening his grip on Heaven’s neck. "I’m going to kill you. I’ll kill you. Kill you!"
Heaven’s face slowly turned red, but kept herself calm as she did two things at the same time. She continued to slip a finger in between her neck and his arm, lifting her foot until it was on the steering wheel.
"Tch," Heaven hissed one more time, eyes burning as she glanced at the rearview mirror to see the angry look plastered on Dragon. "Keep... fucking... wishing."
As soon as those words rolled out of Heaven’s tongue, she kicked the steering wheel while her other hand reached for the recliner lever. With the force of her kick, the driver’s seat abruptly reclined all the way down. Heaven slipped down from his grip and the seat forced Dragon back.
