Love Worth Fighting For

252 Second meeting

Even though he currently has a gun in his hand, Christian still feels uneasy, his focus is divided in two because he thinks of Suri who is still in the restaurant. Even though Suri is currently with half of his men, Christian still cannot concentrate fully at this time because he is reminded of the kidnapping that happened to Suri four years ago.

“Please be careful sir, keep walking behind us,” whispered Antonio, the head bodyguard to Christian who had come out of the restaurant.

“Don’t worry, you guys haven’t forgotten who educated me, have you?”

Antonio swallowed his saliva, he looked nervous because he was reminded of the legendary Luis Cobb from Luxembourg.

“But now things are different, young master,” Carlos chimes in, replying Christian boldly. “The enemy who is targeting you is hiding among the other citizens, their form is invisible so you have to be careful.”

Christian smiles. “Thanks for reminding me, Carlos.”

“Sorry young master, I didn’t mean anything bad. I just...”

“I know your intentions are good, Carlos. Don’t worry, I’m not angry.”

Antonio tapped Carlos on the shoulder, signaling him to move immediately. Carlos who understood then stepped forward to start walking with one of his colleagues, after two of his men moved, Christian then walked with great caution. Even though he is currently carrying a gun, Christian tries not to take any action that provokes the enemy who is stalking him.

.....

When they almost reached the car, unexpectedly several men dressed in black appeared from behind Christian’s car. Those who had been monitoring the movements of Christian and his four men since leaving the restaurant seemed to move so fast that Christian and his four bodyguards were overwhelmed, they didn’t even have time to pull out their guns because of the sudden attack.

“Who are you?” Christian rebukes hard at the three men who are cornering him in the car.

“Don’t talk too much, you better obey if you don’t want your life to be lost!”

“Watch your words!” Antonio shouted loudly, he couldn’t stand to hear Christian being threatened with such a very inappropriate sentence.

“Talk too much!”

“Ukkhhh...”

Antonio lowered his body when a fist landed on his stomach, not enough until there was another punch aimed at his face that made his lips gush blood immediately.

Carlos and his two other friends could only remain silent when they saw their captain being an easy target for the two enemies who acted very unsportsmanlike. Antonio who was kneeling on the asphalt was still coughing, bleeding from his mouth. Seeing the painful treatment that Antonio received made Christian, who was currently pointed with a gun in his stomach, take a step forward, but the small nudge given by the attacker made Christian cancel his intention to approach Antonio.

“You’d better be cooperative, young master,” says the assailant, pointing a gun at Christian in a half-whisper. “If you don’t want to lose the life of one of your loyal bodyguards, you’d better follow our instructions.”

“What do you want?” Christian asks coldly.

The man in black grinned widely. “Your father handed over all his assets to our boss.”

“What?!” Christian shouts loudly involuntarily. “You’re still sane, right?”

“Shhh....watch your voice Christian Clarke! You don’t want to feel the warmth of the bullet in the arghhhhhh..”

The man in black fell to the ground when a hard kick landed on his head, everyone’s surprise increased when the two who were also aiming their guns Christian fell to the ground in just one blow. Seeing the golden opportunity, Carlos then did the same thing with the savior who suddenly appeared. He quickly managed to paralyze the two people who previously held him, the other two of Carlos’ colleagues did the same thing and the situation quickly turned around.

The eight black men who had previously believed they could bring Christian Clarke to their superiors were now sprawled on the asphalt with bruises on their faces, Christian who was still so shocked by the help from an unknown person was still frozen in place standing staring intently at the savior. which had just helped Carlos disarm the eight assailants.

“Thank you, we really...”

“It’s ok, you guys don’t need to thank me.”

“You are a woman?!” asked Antonio in surprise.

Zwetta who was facing Carlos turned to Antonio who had just spoken. “So what if I’m a woman?”asked Zwetta quietly from behind the mask covering her face, her eyes glaring at Antonio with intimidation. “Is there a prohibition for a woman to have martial skills?”

“No, of course not,” Christian replies quickly. “Forgive my men, Miss. He didn’t mean it that way.”

Zwetta narrowed her eyes. “Who are you?”

“I’m Christian.”

“Oh so you’re the target of these people, huh?”

“What do you mean?” Christian asks, confused.

Zwetta turned to the Christian attackers who were still on the asphalt in a reclining position under Carlos’s control, his hands slowly raised pointing at the eight black men. “Ten minutes ago when I was passing by their car I overheard them saying your name over and over.”

“Car?”

“Yes, they got out of the van,” Zwetta said quietly, pointing at the black van which was not far from where they were. “Looks like they’re amateur criminals.”

“Amateur criminal?”

Zwetta nodded slowly, from behind her mask she gave a small smile. “Professional criminals or kidnappers will not discuss their plans in the open like they did before.”

“So you overheard their conversation earlier?”

Zwetta shrugged her shoulders. “Yeah, otherwise how could I possibly be here.”

“What’s your name, Miss?” Antonio asked quietly, joining in.

Zwetta , whose attention had been stolen towards the group of Asher and Suri who had come hastily towards them at this time along with the other four Christian men, shook her head slowly. “I’m just a foreigner who happens to be enjoying the beauty of this place and you all don’t need to know my name.”

“Why? Why can’t we know your name?” Christian asks quickly.

“Because we won’t see each other again,” Zwetta answered without a light guilt. “So we don’t need to exchange names.”
