“How’s she?” Zaki asked on the phone while he was speeding towards Blue city’s police headquarter.
“She’s fine, she’s now in the middle of questioning.”
“If anyone tries to harm her, you already know what to do.”
“Yes, I understand. Also boss, XBI agents are here. They seemed like they have something they wanted from her.”
“I know. Stay alert.”
“Yes.”
As soon as the call ended, Zaki gripped his phone hard. It was because he knew that the XBI agents surely caused the minor accident for them to be able to question her without making her become suspicious of them.
Furthermore, he finally realized that the agents’ target was actually her and not Sei. A realization that caused his eyes to narrow as his mind wonders about the mysterious and intriguing possibilities involving Davi.
Meanwhile, inside a certain interrogation room, Davi just sat there quietly the moment they suddenly showed her a photo of a woman.
The woman was beautiful and she was wearing a white coat. As she stared at the woman in the picture, strangely, Davi seemed to feel something inexplicable inside her.
“Have you ever seen this woman?” the police woman asked as she stared at Davi with scrutinizing gazes as though she was trying to read her every expression and body languages.
Davi just honestly shook her head. She didn’t know why she’s suddenly being asked like this. She felt somewhat intrigued with the unknown feeling within her but she was sure that she never saw such a woman in her entire life.
After a long while of silence, the police officer showed her another picture.
“How about this? Have you seen someone who looks like or resembled this boy?” The woman asked and Davi looked at the photo.
This time, it was a photo of a boy around eleven or twelve years old. Davi was surprised on how adorably handsome the boy was even though the photo was black and white. The boy just have a face that seemed to be something edited that he almost looks like a certain game avatar with a breathtakingly perfect face. That moment, once again and strangely enough, as soon as Davi stared at the boy’s eyes, she felt as though something just tugged her heart and she didn’t know why. She felt something but she knew that this was her first time seeing such face.
Thus, despite the strange feeling in her heart, Davi just sincerely shook her head again.
Another long silence then went by before the two officers stepped out of the room and after a few more minutes, they finally let her leave. Davi was still feeling intrigued about the two people they showed her, however, she didn’t ask. In the end, she just thought that they might be missing persons and the police were randomly asking people to look for them.
…
Davi finally stepped out of the police station when she felt the cold wind touching her. She was already drenched since the police took her so she’s been feeling cold for a while now.
That moment, Davi could only hug herself while she stared up the gloomy sky.
She sneezed twice when suddenly, someone draped a coat on her. She raised her head and was surprised to see that it was Mr. Chen.
“Mr. Chen, wh-why are you here? Wait, is Sei here too?” she asked when Mr. Chen just ruffled her head.
“He’s not here. I came to get you. I’m afraid Sei might die with worry if you don’t come home immediately.” He said before he hastily lead her towards the car. And the moment, the two entered, Mr. Chen began to talk.
“Are you alright?” he asked and Davi nodded.
“Mm. I’m fine, ahh! How about Kaide?” she exclaimed but the man just looked at her with gazes that was telling her not to worry.
“He’s alright, I already sent someone to pick him.” Mr. Chen said and Davi heaved a long sigh.
“I wanted to thank him for saving me.” She uttered when Mr. Chen smiled at her.
“You can do that when he’s back.” He replied and Davi just nodded.
The man then continued asking her what happened while the car was speeding like bullet.
Until they finally reached the mansion in no time.
Davi immediately stepped out of the car, expecting that Sei was anxiously waiting for her return. However, to her dismay, guards and a terrifyingly looking man were the first to welcome her.
She then halted as she looked around when Mr. Chen spoke.
“Kir, didn’t I already sent you a message to uncuff him?” He said while his brows were a bit knitted when suddenly, Ryou appeared, looking like a lost warrior who just saw a horrifying ghost in the battlefield.
He stepped closer to Kir and gave the key back to him.
“I’m sorry, Kir, you better be the one who should go and uncuff the boss.” He said with a voice filled with fear.
However, Kir just threw the key back to him without any word as though telling him the word ’never’.
“Ahh, I can’t even bear to enter the room! It was already covered with glaciers and daggers might just hit me million tines if I’ll try to approach him. I’m afraid, i’ll die before I could even reach him.” Ryou said as he cried without tears but the moment he finally notice that Zaki was there standing behind him, he ran towards him and tossed him the key.
“Z– You’re the one who handcuffed him so you better do the job of uncuffing him.” Ryou said and the moment Mr. Chen saw the look in Ryou’s eyes, he held the key with hesitation.
“Er…does he really looks bad this time?” Mr. Chen asked and Ryou almost cried out loud.
“You don’t have any idea! The room now turned into a hell dragon’s den. He looked like he wanted to kill the first one who will approach him you know?!” he said as he ran away and the disguised Zaki could only scratch his head. Well, the moment he imagined the things Sei could do once he uncuff him was terrifying enough that even him couldn’t help but felt shiver down his spine.
Due to that, the disguised Zaki began to whack his head when Davi who was just quietly standing behind him sneezed.
That moment, he turned towards her and he finally realized the existence of their real life hero. Well, he knew that Davi is the only one who could tame the dragon and turn him back to its original form without using force. He alsi knew that he could never hurt her no matter how rampant his rage was, so she’s basically the only one who’s useful now.
Thus, thinking about it, he then moved towards her and put the key in her hand.
“Uhm miss, I told you a while ago that I handcuffed him right? Here. Here’s the key. He’s inside his study room. He’s waiting for you there.” He said as he smiled and the girl just nodded impatiently before she dashed inside the house without any question.
The disguised Zaki just watched her disappearing silhouette when Ryou’s voice reached him.
“You really are despicable. How could you sacrifice her to save yourself?” he said and Zaki just laughed.
“Sacrifice? Don’t be an idiot Ryou. Who’s the most powerful piece to take down the King? Isn’t it the queen? And besides, her, uncuffing him as though the heroine just arrived to save the chained King is kind of romantic, don’t you think?” He replied as he smiled and Ryou’s mouth just hanged opened when Zaki began to move his feet to enter the house.
Hmm. I wonder if the scene will look kind of medieval romance? Fufu… I wonder how Sei reacts.
