Mark frowned as he heard those words, immediately turning to his boss. But Justin had yet an unbothered look on his face."But we can't beat him up, ma'am. He hasn't exactly posed any threat." Officer Nate stated."Well, I don't care. I am ordering you three to beat that man up right now." Diana said, almost yelling."You heard her. Beat the living daylight out of him, since he has decided to be so stubborn." Lilly added. Officer Nate breathed in and moved closer to Justin."You may leave now, sir." He said calmly. Justin looked at him blankly without moving a muscle. Seeing that Justin wasn't making any moves at leaving, he stretched his arm to touch him. "I said you should...""Don't you dare touch him officer. Do not." Mark said defensively. His eyes were burning with rage at both the sisters and the officers. But what he couldn't really understand was why Justin stayed quiet and still as everything went on. "Are you going to let them go or what?""Are you dumb or something? Leave
Justin's assistant, seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, decided that it would be better if he reached out to the authorities behind the Police."What are you going to do if we decide to beat you up too?" One of the police men said to Justin and him."Well just try it, and watch you lose your jobs, you tyrant," Mark said, even more angry than Justin at the situation they had found themselves.The phone rang for a few seconds and was picked immediately after that. "Hello," a grumpy voice came in from the phone."Hello sir," Mark said into it. "Yes, Mr. Mark, what brings you calling my phone this morning?" the voice said."Sir, it's urgent. We have some of your men here trying to beat an innocent couple on the road. And when we tried to stop them, I and my boss, they threatened to beat us to a pulp. Even now they are still doing so.""What?" The voice exclaimed in anger. "If I am not mistaken, your boss is the Drogonuv heir, right? Even so, I would not let a few police
The crowd of bystanders all cleared themselves from the road as the police vans came through. They were three of them, all filled to the brim with armed men. All of them on uniform. There were about six vans pulling into the vicinity.The police officers that had been harassing Justin, his assistant, and the couple froze up in place as they heard the blaring sirens. Their faces grew a look of fear as immediately they realized that they were indeed in a really big mess. "What is going on?" One of the policeman said, jumping down from the van. He had splendid looking moustache that coiled upwards. He seemed to have habit of playing with it with his fingers, coiling it all up and letting it fall back into its original shape or form.The rogue police officers turned back in horror to see their Chief of Police standing right behind them. "We can explain sir," one of them said, stuttering really hard. There were beads of sweat dropping off his forehead. Just as his partner. "You see, the
After much trials by the Chief of Police to be more patronizing to Justin, the new heir and his assistant, refusing his kind gestures, not just out of modesty, but out of the fact if the rogue officers had harmed him by any means seriously, he couldn't have no problem fixing things by his own means, the old police officer with the funny moustache finally decided to give up and go.He threw one last salute to Justin and drove his way back to the station where he had come from. As he did that, the crowd almost as if they could not hold it anymore, began cheering for Justin with so much excitement."It seems you have now become a hero to these people," Mark joked, smiling calmly, but still by every means looking as business minded as he had always been. He looked almost like he was about to whisper into Justin's ears to tell him that there still had a lot of things in their schedule to take care of. "By no mistake," a voice began, "You are the Drogonuv's heir right? Justin Drogonuv."
As always, Justin had fewer words to say than whoever he was talking to. He kept staring at the card. Mark seemed to be itching to get the card in his hand and finally inspect it. It seemed awfully familiar to him, but he was not able to have a close look at it for some reason."An underground man huh?" Justin reworded. "I would really like to know what that is, but thanks anyway. I will think of you when I have problems in the "underground" to worry about."The man let out a chuckle. Once again, it seemed like he was coughing. A very dry could. If not for his social skills, Mark felt a bit inclined to ask the man if he had some sort of illness, but he caved back and refused to say a thing if Justin was not going to comment on it."Sure, I will be expecting you to." They shook hands again before he walked away from them, with his wife who had also started to look less drab than she had been looking before. Soon they disappeared into the crowd, as if they had not been just standing t
At a cafe with a huge Ice cream cone hanging on its roof as its logo, a car drove into the arena. Out of the car came Lilly and Diana. The both of them wore worried expressions on their faces."Is this the place?" Lilly asked."Yes it is," confirmed Diana. "Why are you even asking? Everybody who is anybody knows where Icy Crust is."Lilly rolled her eyes at her younger sister. "Well I am sorry that I don't go out as much as you do. I'm an introvert remember?" "Sure, sure," Diana said sarcastically, it did not seem like she heard anything her sister had told her."Well enough of that," said Lilly. "Remember what we actually came here for. We still have no idea where mom and dad is. And we are supposed to meet Meeky here. Why is he so late?""That's sad. I wonder where they could be." Diana was walking into the cafe at this time. "Well, let's just hope for the best and wait for Meeky. He must have some good news. But while we are waiting, can we just go inside and get ourselves somethi
"He's on his way here." Diana announced, placing her phone on the table. "Do you like it? Is it nice?""Huh?" Lilly looked up with her mouth full. "You know, he can be really annoying. First, he wasn't picking up when you called this morning. And now, he's keeping us waiting here. It almost feels like he doesn't understand what is going on.""Calm down, Lilly. He'll be here soon. He told me that himself, okay?" She sighed heavily as she leaned against the table. "I know this is frustrating. I am also worried about them. But, don't take out your frustration on Meeky. He is going to help us and I know it.""Okay, okay." Lilly shook her head, stuffing the last piece of the pie in to her mouth. "Are you okay with that? Don't worry, I'll ask the waiter to bring another one. Eat up so you will have the strength you need." Lilly smiled widely as her sister spoke. "Waiter." Diana called, snapping her finger in the air."Yes, Ma'am." The waiter appeared within seconds, with his usual homely
Mark pushed open the door and ushered Justin in. He walked straight to the counter to make his order while Mark waited. He looked around the place, obviously looking for a table they could sit on, and that was when he saw them. The same ladies who had asked the cops to beat Justin up. One of them was speaking to the other in a very subtle voice. He concluded to himself that nobody would ever believe that those ladies weren't as nice as they looked."Will you take anything?" Justin asked calmly, immediately interrupting his thoughts.“Oh, me?" He asked, almost confused. "Yes, yes. Coffee would be alright." "Okay." Justin shook his head and turned to place the order. "Alright, let's get ourselves some seats. Our orders will be brought to us.""Okay. Thank you, sir." He smiled dryly. Justin looked at him for a moment, unable to understand his sudden change in behaviour. He concluded that Mark was just tired from the day's work. So he turned to find a place to seat, and that was when he
