Adopted Soldier-Chapter 309

Chapter 309

When Drake saw that he was already surrounded he first felt shocked, then he felt ashamed that a little sheltered rich girl got the better of him . Finally he felt truly irritated, he got even more irritated while he was looking at Evangeline's smug face . Even though it was true that he was caught in a trap, Drake who was one of the top fighters of the Shadow Mercenaries didn't like seeing a little girl looking down on him .

"You think you have trapped me! It's not over yet!" Even though everyone in the room was pointing their guns at Drake, he still had the balls to say those words with confidence . Evangeline could only smile at his reaction . When Drake saw Evangeline's mocking smile he pointed his submachine gun at her .

Evangeline's subordinates wanted to open fire, but then they saw Evangeline signaling them not to do anything . When Drake saw this he started grinding his teeth fuming with anger .

'This little girl is actively mocking me! Does she take me as a joke!' Drake who was now furious started shooting at Evangeline . Seeing Drake shoot at her, Evangeline responded by doing nothing to evade the incoming barrage of bullets . All she did was to simply stand there without a care in the world .

The bullets then hit something before coming into contact with Evangeline . All the bullets hit some sort of bullet proof glass . When Drake saw the glass wall he finally knew where all Evangeline's confidence came from . Still that bullet proof glass won't last long, so Drake continued shooting . Once he broke through the bullet proof glass, another layer was waiting for him .

'The hell!' When Drake saw that it was possible that there were multiple layers of the bullet proof glass, he knew that it was no use shooting at it .

Drake stopped shooting and he looked at Evangeline in utter confusion . He was surprised by the glass wall, but he was confused about something else entirely . He couldn't understand how Evangeline was able to speak properly with him through such a thick layer of glass . He knew it was so out of place to think of such a thing during a battle, but he couldn't help it . Evangeline who saw the expression Drake was making, spoke to him .

"Why the confused face? Are you confused because of the bullet proof glass, or are you confused as to how I'm talking through said bullet proof glass?" Evangeline saw Drake's face twitch a bit when she spoke about her talking through the bullet proof glass .

"It's getting easier and easier to read you Mr . Shadow Mercenary . Well never mind that, how about I answer the question in your mind . "

Even though Drake was truly irritated by Evangeline's haughtiness, he was still interested in the answer of how she was able to talk through such a thick glass wall . Also it's not like he could do anything at the moment . It was obvious that everything that's happening right now was going perfectly with the little girl's plan . So instead of continuing his attack without a plan, Drake decided to listen to Evangeline's explanation .

"So you still haven't noticed? Hasn't my voice change a bit from a while ago . " When Drake heard what Evangeline said he finally understood what happened .

"You're using speakers . "

"Bingo . "

"But then how was your voice so clear when I entered the room? I remember it being so much clearer, than the way your voice is sound right now . Also how are you able to hear me from your side?" Drake didn't care that he was shoving his pride into the corner right now . All that mattered to him at this very moment was to hear the answers to his questions . Hearing Drake's questions made Evangeline smile even wider than before .

"When you entered the room, there was no bullet proof glass in front of me . It only appeared moments before I turned on the lights . When I was acting, showing you a face like I was actually thinking of coming with you . At that time I was actually distracting you, as I flipped two switches under my desk . One of the switches alerted my men, while the other made the multiple bullet proof glass walls slide right in front of me . These bullet proof glass walls slid from within the regular walls . Nice right? Now onto the next answer, I'm not actually able to hear you, but I can read your lips . Okay then, Q and A is over, so how about you just surrender peacefully . "

Drake knew that there was absolutely no possibility of him taking Evangeline in this situation . So he decided to retreat first and try again later . Seeing as the floor was made of wood, Drake stomped on it breaking the wooden floor he was standing on .

At this point Drake thought that he would fall to the floor below, but then he hit something hard stopping him from falling . Only half of his body fell into the hole he made, while the upper half was still on the floor with all the guns being pointed at him .

Evangeline who saw this couldn't help but laugh at the poor Shadow Mercenary .

"That's hilarious, you thought you could escape that way? Well I thought so too, that's why I had a metal floor made a foot apart from the wooden flooring . There is no way to escape Drake . I already predict all the possible escape routes you would take . I even took into account of the possibility that you are superhuman . You thought that the traps you see are the only traps in this room? That's a wrong assumption, I really prepared for every possibility I could think off . Even with the most absurd possibilities, I placed in some countermeasures just in case . "

When Drake heard what Evangeline said, he felt a shiver running down his spine . When they were being briefed about the targets they were to capture, Evangeline was rated even lower than Kei . Yet it would seem that they had grossly misinterpreted her abilities . As if she could read Drake's mind Evangeline spoke to him .

"Among my friends I might look like the weakest link, seeing as I don't have a specialty . I'm not like Kei who could easily gather intel, nor am I like Emily who could hack into most things . I'm not like Rachel and Niel who are gifted in battle . I'm not like Sayaka who could blend into the shadows . I'm not like Oliver and Alex who seem to be in a league of their own . So to compensate for my lacking self, I surrounded myself with subordinates that compensate for what I lack . Not only that, I plan and I plan and I plan, thinking of all the worse possible scenarios and trying to figure out a way to stay on top . If you came here on the same day Niel and the others were taken, I might have been easily kidnapped, but you gave me time to prepare, which turn into your loss . Now I'm the one kidnapping you . "

Drake who was listening to Evangeline started sweating . When Evangeline saw Drake's reaction she couldn't help but giggle . So in the end even the infamous Shadow Mercenaries were human .

"Drake, ever since you step foot into this room, it was already checkmate . " Evangeline declared with an evil grin on her face .
