The Black Swan Behind (Beauty of Fire)-Chapter 251
251 Emma Disappeared
“I-it’s Black!” One of the men said with wide eyes.
It was undeniable. Black’s name was indeed well-known among the members of the Beast Empire. Not a few of them were afraid to come across the group that was rumoured to be dangerously strong.
“Dammit!” The driver cursed.
“Push the alarm-”
They were both surprised when they suddenly heard a knocking sound on the car window. As soon as the driver turned to the side, it turned out that one of the motorbikes was already beside the door of his car.
“Hold on!” The man exclaimed while slamming his steering wheel to the side so that the body of the car hit the damn motorbike.
Rachel’s motorbike suddenly swayed. But she could easily control it back. “Well. So you want to play with me, huh?” she murmured.
“They want a fight. Blind them up. Go with plan B!” Rachel said to the girl sitting in her backseat.
“Aye!” The girl replied while taking out two round objects from the backpack she was wearing in front of her chest.
.....
Then, Rachel rode back to the front-side of the car. “Are you ready?”
“Yes,” She answered.
Then Rachel immediately pulled the gas pedal deeper until her motorbike was right in front of the minivan she was chasing.
At the same time, the girl who was riding with Rachel immediately threw two dark water balloons right at the windshield of the car.
The car’s driver did not expect the motorbike that was chasing him moved so suddenly to ride right in front of his car; because it was a dangerous action for the rider. All he had to do was hit the gas to hit it, and the bike would surely fall.
But everything happened so fast that the man didn’t have time to think that the man on the motorbike would do anything else.
The last thing the driver saw was a ball flying right in front of the car’s windshield, and it instantly went dark. It was a jet black paint that covered all parts of the car’s windshield, that even the splashes also hit both sides of the car door window.
“Cover perfectly! As the slogan says! Haha..” The girl behind Rachel laughed. That was indeed the slogan of the wall paint brand they used to fill the water balloons.
“Hold tight!” Rachel exclaimed before swinging her motorbike away from the front of the car. She thought that the criminal might just step on the gas to at least hit them.
The minivan’s driver man lost sight of the road ahead. He had tried to clean the paint with water and a windshield wiper but it was in vain because the wind that hit the windshield was quite strong and the amount of paint was indeed a lot. Even when the water from the windshield wipers started working, those damn bikers were throwing paint on it again.
Unable to see and afraid of ending up crashing into a building, the driver was forced to slow down. Not long after, another balloon was thrown at the windshield again, but the difference was that now both the left and right door windows were also being targeted by Black.
This forced the driver to open his window so he could see the road, even if only from the side. But as soon as he managed to open the window, a soda can flew straight into his face.
The can that hit the car’s driver in the face flew very fast. That was because Ava, who was riding on another motorbike, threw it with all her might. She had been deliberately waiting for the window pane to open.
The blow to his face made the man stagger. His nose instantly bled from hitting the rim of the soda can’s lip and his whole face and clothes were wet because the can broke as soon as it hit his face. As a result, he was no longer able to control the car he was driving.
“Shit! Argh!” Exclaimed the man sitting in the front passenger seat when the car swayed awfully. He tried to take over the steering wheel but it was too late.
Since the driver’s foot was no longer on the gas pedal, plus the speed of the car had been slowing for minutes, the Black member’s motorbike finally managed to approach the car door.
Previously, Rachel had swapped sitting positions with her friend. Now, she was in the passenger seat because she had to jump into the minivan.
Rachel perched on the car, holding on to the open window. She quickly pulled the car door lock and made the door open.
Before the staggering man regained consciousness, Rachel quickly smacked the man in the jaw until he passed out. 𝘧𝑟𝙚ew𝑒𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝑒𝚕. c૦𝙢
The other men in the car tried to attack Rachel, but she quickly dodged and pulled the car’s handbrake before jumping backwards.
“Rachel!” Ava quickly rode her motorbike to approach the girl who was sitting on the asphalt. “Are you okay?” she asked frantically as she got off her big motorbike.
Rachel stood up with a grimace on her face. She shook her head slowly. “I’m good,”
“Are you sure?” Ava asked again because Rachel didn’t look like that.
“I hope so,” She smiled even though it was covered by a mask. Then, she lightly touched Ava’s shoulder before stepping forward. “Come on,”
The stopped car was swarmed by a group of men in black, like a candy swarmed by ants.
As usual, the Beast Empire men were trying to fight the Black group that was swarming them. But as old news, the men were quickly knocked out by some of the Black members.
The back door of the minivan was opened, followed by the members of the Black Swan who immediately took out the kidnapped girls. They untied the ropes that bound the girls’ legs and arms, and didn’t forget the duct tape on the mouths and the cloth covering the girls’ heads.
“We came to save you. Don’t panic,” Rachel said.
“There are three girls,” Emma said after untied and out of the car.
Rachel nodded and then turned to the victims. “My friends will drive you home. You better hurry,”
Then, Rachel turned to her members. “AB, ZD, and AV. Please take these girls home. Be careful on the way,”
“Okay, RC!” They answered.
Emma watched Rachel’s leg with a frown. Rachel was the one leading the mission this time. Because of that, the tall girl who seemed to be the most bothered walked back and forth to control the situation.
Emma’s hand touched Rachel’s shoulder and held her there. “Wait, Rachel. What happened to your leg? Why are you limping?”
“Ah.. I fell earlier. But it’s okay.” She answered.
Emma shook her head. “You fell? When?” She asked again because she was sitting in the back of the car and all the windows were painted white so she couldn’t see how her friends were doing.
“I’ll tell you later, Emma. We’re in a hurry now. You don’t have to worry about me. I’m totally fine. Trust me.” Rachel smiled as she grabbed Emma’s shoulders.
Emma sighed, concern was still evident in her eyes. “I don’t want you to move too much, Rachel. Sit on the bike or head back to the base. Let me take over this mission. I mean it.”
“But Emma...”
“Rachel,” Emma had to cut off her best friend with a guilty face. “I’m sorry. But this isn’t a request; it’s an order,” she said firmly.
Rachel took a deep breath and nodded. “All right. I understand.”
Emma smiled at her guiltily. “Thanks for helping me, Rachel. You’ve done an excellent job. Now, I’m going to change. You’d better get back to base.”
Rachel nodded. “I will. Be careful, Emma. You should call me if something suddenly happens.”
“Of course,” Emma replied. “Now, please go home and treat your leg. I’ll get to you after this.”
Then, Emma got into the car and changed into a black man’s outfit and didn’t forget to wear a mask.

The cramped concert venues caused the line at all the food and beverage booths to be snake long. Calvin felt bad for Emma because he had said he wouldn’t be away for long. But instead, he made Emma wait for him forever.
After getting food and drink, Calvin returned to his seat. But he frowned when he saw Emma had disappeared from their seats that even now had already been occupied by strangers.
Calvin looked everywhere, looking for Emma. But he couldn’t find her anywhere. Then, he decided to sit down and put down all the things that had been filling his hands. He took out his cell phone and started calling her. But it never answered.
“Is she going to the toilet?” Calvin mumbled to himself while looking at his phone screen. He had called Emma twice but still got nothing.
Calvin tried to text Emma, but just like the phone, Emma never opened the short message application.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Calvin began to feel that something was wrong. He left all his food and drinks on the seat, and rushed to the toilet.
The toilet was divided into two parts; male and female. Calvin waited in front of the female toilet because he couldn’t go inside.
