Chapter 225 - 225: The President"s boss
The loud sound of the chopper stopped minutes after it landed on the ground. A few meters away from the chopper was the President standing in front of his car with his bodyguards on each of his sides.
The president"s hands were balled into fists, lips pursed and face screwed. After receiving the news about what happened in the warehouse, he felt his world stopping but it didn"t stop the chopper with his boss from coming.
His boss was planning to come and see Daniella himself but there was no Daniella and there will be no Daniella since Roman Lee failed to get her, instead, she injured him and now he"s in the hospital with a missing foot.
His heart pounded when the door opened. One man in a black suit, hulk like-body came down followed by another, same built, same serious face. After the two men emerged from the chopper, another man appeared. Limuel gulped hard, sweat on his forehead formed in big pieces. This was the son of his boss, his future boss.
The Golden Club. The name of the most popular club in Beijing. It was one of those luxurious clubs in the world but underneath of the club was a casino and a place for illegal transactions, illegal fights and prost.i.tution. And that club was owned by no other than Limuel"s boss, the man who supported his campaign, the reason why he got to rule the country, that was Kim. No one knew his real name, all they know was that he has a son, a blonde man which depicted Kim"s features, black hair, a body resembled a boar, flat nose and narrow eyes.
And the man walking towards him with a grin on his face, playing a dart in his hand, his blue eyes were squinted staring at him was his son boss.
"Limuel," the voice of the blonde man, so full of life sounded in the empty airport.
Limuel gulped hard, sweat ran down from his forehead all the way to his cheeks. He could hear the sound of his footsteps pounding rhythmically with his heartbeat.
When the man halted in front of him, the same smirk on his face, Limuel felt his spirit leaving his body.
"So, where is the woman? Where is my future mother in law?" he playfully said.
Limuel bit his lips, his boss Kim was a calm man. No one can know if he"s angry or not, his small eyes were lack of life but unlike his son, Jared the man who hasn"t reached his thirty was full of life. He always wore a smile, whether he"s angry or not, the smile was the same so everyone, men or women don"t rely their life on his smile. If he wanted someone dead, he will order it with a smile but never in the history had he ever saved someone.
"Jared, something went wrong and-" his words died down in his throat when Jared rose a hand in the air, he could see his palm which so smooth and white as his face, he trembled even more, suddenly scared for his and family"s life.
Jared wanted money, and the man knew that Daniella"s ability to heal faster would bring money to the club.
"My father wants that woman in his bed tonight," Jared moved closer to Limuel"s ear, whispering those words with a wide smile, "you do what you promised and your family will be safe though," he paused, moved away and looked down at his watch, "you only have three hours to do that."
Every word Jared spoke has made Limuel"s skin shiver. With weak knees he slumped onto the ground, kneeling in front of Jared who was standing like a G.o.d.
"Hey Limuel, I didn"t ask you to kneel. I asked you to get the woman and bring it to my father," Jared rose a foot and lay it on Limuel"s chin, using it to elevate his face. With a smirk on his lips, he continued, "now, get up and bring that woman. If you can"t bring her, bring me your son instead," he lowered his foot back to the ground, "one of my wrestlers died so we need a replacement."
The colour on Limuel"s face faded. There"s no possibility that he will find Daniella now and there"s no way he will let his son be a wrestler that entertain the customers in the Golden Club. He had been there and saw how the wrestlers fight. In order to survive, they need to kill the opponent, beat that person until there"s no life left in his body.
Limuel quickly held onto Jared"s leg. His cheek brushed on his ripped denim pants. The man was not a typical office person. He didn"t like suit and always wearing denim and a white shirt. Even if there"s an event, he always had the same clothes, as if he never changed nor take a shower.
Jared laughed, his shoulders shook as he rose a finger to order one of his men to remove Limuel from embracing his foot.
"If you can"t deliver that woman tonight, I will have my men transport your son to the club tomorrow," he sneered and slightly turned, looking dawn at Limuel who had a blanched face, "don"t worry, I won"t let him die but I can"t promise that he won"t get hurt, I mean he"s going to be a wrestler so pain is normal" his voice was full of amus.e.m.e.nt, like a boy teasing another boy, "get up Mr President. It"s not too late to get her. Remember? You are the President of this country, my dad made you a president. You have the power to find anyone if you want."
And then he started leaving, strolling towards the chopper. The smile on his face was as bright as the moon above, it was reaching his blue eyes. His expression of happiness looked so genuine, but behind those was an emotion no one had ever seen.
Meanwhile...
At the hospital. After Daniella fainted, Evan brought her to the hospital. The police were staying outside of her room while her friends were getting their wounds treated.
Glen has left to bring his son back to his house while Ken stayed with Evan and Camille was in the other VIP room with Elise and Alvin.
Evan looked at Ken who was staring confusedly at Daniella.
"I thought you two had broken up, why did she kiss you?" Ken innocently asked. He scratched his nose, hating the smell of the alcohol disinfectant, even the cold air coming from the AC was making his skin shiver.
Evan just sighed, he was too tired, he didn"t even let the doctor tend his wound. He wanted to be with Daniella, make sure that she"s alright. After all, they were in a private hospital, if the doctors found out that her wounds heal quickly, the place will be filled with reporters.
The news about the supermodel getting attacked by her lover"s rival was all over the internet, people sympathized Camille and criticized Daniella. There was so much mess to clean up but right now, her health was what mattered the most.
Then there was a knock on the door. Ken and Evan looked at each other and both walked towards the door. When the latter opened the door, his eyebrows creased, it was Kirby with a phone in his hand.
"General Bing is on the line. He said it"s urgent."
Evan"s heart thumped, a sudden fear rushed over him, he gulped hard and went out of the room with Ken tailing him.
"h.e.l.lo Bing, what"s happening?"
"Evan!" the alert in Bing"s voice has made Evan squint his eyes. He looked at Ken while worry took over his features.
"What is it, Bing?"
"Daniella. You need to hide her. The President is using all the soldiers, navy, and air forces to find her. Where is she?"
Just as Evan was about the reply, a loud bang sounded from the room where he left Daniella. His eyes widened, he rushed towards the room while the police slammed the door opened.
"Daniella!" Evan shouted her name with anxiety but she was gone, the bed was empty, there was no trace of her aside from the wrinkles on the bed.
Evan looked around, the window has been smashed while few men were hanging in the air with a rope wrapped around their bodies. The sound of the chopper, people whispering and wondering what was happening, and the light outside continuously searching the whole place. Evan gulped hard.
One of the men, dressed in a navy uniform walked into the room. "Where is Daniella Chen?" he roared, authority in his voice, expression colder than the room.
The people hanging on a rope swayed their way inside, they looked under the bed, the small closet and the bathroom.
Bang!
Evan looked behind and saw one of the men smashing the ceiling. He looked up at the hole but there was no one in there. Then the same man – with the help of the others climbed up and crawled to nowhere.
Just what is happening?
Evan blinked when he felt Ken"s hand on his arm. He looked at his friend who was staring at a woman wearing a doctor"s clothing standing in the middle of the crowd. The patient, doctors and nurses were all gathered wondering what was happening, suddenly relief flooded Evan"s mind when one of the doctors looked at him. Slowly his lips curled upwards to see the doctor"s eyes suddenly changed from brown to black.
"It"s her right?" Ken murmured.
Evan slightly nodded and took a sigh. What"s happening, he doesn"t know. Where she will go, he doesn"t know either. But he knew one thing, she will disappear, long enough to rebuild herself.
