The Daren of today was not the Daren who would bow in resignation when others insulted him. Now Daren puffed out his chest, challenging the man he had knocked down.
Daren had no quarrel with the man. His words earlier, however, had disturbed Daren. "Hey, mister! What's your problem, you want to challenge me to a fight?" The man raised his voice, immediately getting up. Originally calm, he now looked like a lion about to pounce on prey. Daren grinned triumphantly. "You started it first and I was just defending." He reasoned and that reasoning didn't necessarily make the man believe him. He was about to retaliate. His right hand was clenched tightly, ready to punch Daren in the face. However, before his action was realized, Daren had already caught him with one hand, then grinned a little. BRUGHT! Daren delivered a second hard punch. This time, it was the stomach that was the target. As far as Daren was concerned, a man's weak point was his stomach. The man bounced, a few steps back. A little fresh blood spewed out. However, it was nothing to cry about. He wiped the blood from his lips. The visitors, mostly women, screamed hysterically. In front of their eyes there had been a fight between two men. Those who were there held their breath, just as the man ran. Shouting at the top of his lungs, giving the impression of fierceness to scare his opponent. Again Daren looked away lazily. Just shouting would not make him run away crying. He was no longer a child. The man pointed his right hand at Daren's face. Daren was still silent for a split second. Not doing anything yet, just a few centimeters away, Deren caught the man's hand again. This time Daren didn't throw a punch, but instead he turned his body clockwise, so that his back was to the man. However, he still held his opponent's hand. Daren summoned all his strength. He put all his strength into his shoulders and arms. Daren lifted the man's body, which was twice his size. Daren slammed the man from back to front. The impact was so violent that the sound of bones cracking could be heard. Those who saw the incident, no one did not close their eyes and screamed hysterically. Especially when the sound of the loud bang, burst out. "You should be more polite to others," Daren said coldly. After saying that. Daren put his sunglasses back on and walked away. Now there was only a man lying limply on the floor, feeling his body crumble. Daren walked out of the restaurant. He looked to his left and right, looking for something there. The surroundings were quiet and there were not many vehicles passing by. "Where are they?" muttered Daren who was starting to feel hot. He blocked the sun's rays, using the palm of his hand. At least the rays didn't hit his eyes directly. "Daren!" Someone called out to him. The voice came from the right. The owner of the name then turned his head. The almost twenty-five degree heat made it easy to sweat. "Joshua." Daren recognized the big man. "Where's Miss Xena? Why did you just come alone?" Daren asked flatly. "Miss Xena's waiting for us in the car, over there!" pointed Joshua, in the direction he had been traveling. "All right. Let's go! I'm starting to feel hot in here!" There was no denying that this heat might turn his skin black if he stayed outside for too long. Daren and Joshua left the area. Meanwhile, there was a mysterious figure who had been watching Daren all along. More precisely when Daren asked about the restaurant manager. The figure was seated inside the restaurant. The position of his seat was right in front of the window, so he was privy to the brief conversation of the two men he did not recognize. "I have to tell this to the boss immediately. The Black Shadow Organization has arrived in this district. That means, they came with a well-thought-out strategy." The figure of the man wearing a black hat, then left his place with hasty steps. . Daren had already gotten into the car. So did Joshua. Due to the intense heat, Xena decided to wait inside. The beautiful woman would not like her skin damaged by the sun. "How was it? Did you manage to get a job at the restaurant?" Xena popped the question right away. Compared to Joshua. Xena was more curious about the results Daren had brought. Hopefully it wasn't bad news. "Not yet, Miss! The manager of the restaurant is away. According to the waiter on duty. He will come to the restaurant later in the afternoon or evening," Daren said, explaining the information he had gotten a few moments ago. Daren also added that the restaurant was quite crowded. However, visitors to the fund did not show any suspicious movements. "If the restaurant manager wasn't there, then why didn't you go back to the car?" Xena dropped another question. This time she folded her arms across her chest. Daren coughed softly, while Joshua shook his head quickly. "Sorry about that. I had a fight with a guy when I was leaving the restaurant earlier." Being a bodyguard as well as a member of the Black Shadow, made Daren a man who couldn't tell a lie. Especially when Xena was by his side like the current situation. "A man you say? What kind of man was he, that you had to linger at the restaurant?" Xena probed further. I wonder what Xena was trying to prove? She wanted to see how honest Daren was. "The guy was big and muscular. I accidentally bumped into him and he started ranting at me, calling me small in front of everyone." Daren looked away lazily, while Xena chuckled. "So, what did you do to that guy?" The more the story was told, the more interesting it became. It had been a long time since Xena had felt this way. "I hit him and broke his spine, like when I break a branch." Xena clapped her hands loudly. Daren's story was like a fairy tale that she wanted to know the ending of. "All right. Joshua, let's go back to the hotel!" ordered Xena, who was now cool again. Joshua nodded his understanding. Meanwhile, Daren looked out the window. Xena turned on the screen of the cell phone she was holding. There was an incoming text message. Xena gasped slightly. She saw the name of the contact on her phone screen. [Xena, What are you doing in District S01? Do you want to take EAGLE EYE to war?] Xena was quite surprised, reading the short message. However, she immediately deleted the message. As if the content of the message was not important. "How did she know where I was? Did he put her people to watch me?" Xena muttered while stroking her chin and trying to remember something.In the evening, Daren went back to the restaurant to meet the manager.Daren's curiosity was still very high. He was sure that this plan would go smoothly. "Sorry. You came to the restaurant this afternoon, right?" A waiter immediately recognized Daren.She came up to Daren and asked the question. "Yes. I came this afternoon to ask about the manager of the restaurant. Did he come?" asked Daren curiously. He had no intention of having dinner or just sitting back and relaxing. There were important matters, which were more interesting than eating and so on. The waiter shook his head, "I don't think the manager is coming today.""Really?" snapped Daren off and the waiter nodded confidently."That's right, sir. It seems the manager is not coming tonight. Because until now, she hasn't come... On normal days. The manager never comes late. She's always on time."The waitress, however, couldn't offer much of an explanation, as she hadn't been told by the manager whether she would be coming
Daren punched the man in the face with all his might. Not once, but twice in a row, leaving a very clear mark there.The man bounced a few meters and cursed in frustration. Daren smiled triumphantly. It was common for him to beat men who were even bigger than him.The Daren of now was not the Daren of then. The current Daren had no fear whatsoever, not even of the grim reaper coming close. The man wiped fresh blood from the edge of his lips. Losing to a stranger was a humiliating defeat for him. "You bastard!" Damm!Before the man could reply. Suddenly, gunshots rang out throughout the room. Those remaining there then scattered to save themselves."Shit! Who opened fire?" Daren swore harshly. His focus was no longer on the man, but the shot that had just been fired. His eyes darted around quickly. Searching for someone who might be the mastermind of this coincidence."There he is!"Daren caught a glimpse of a shadow dressed all in black, running in the opposite direction. Damm!!
"What are you doing?" asked Joshua, approaching Daren who was sitting there staring at his phone screen very seriously.Daren wouldn't have noticed Joshua's approach, had the man not immediately asked the question. "Looking at the news," Daren replied briefly.Joshua directed his gaze, wondering what news Daren was watching that would make him so focused and unaware of his surroundings?"Not important news." Daren was evasive and immediately turned off his phone screen. Joshua snatched it out of Daren's hand.The news Daren was watching was definitely not ordinary news. Joshua thought so. "I've become curious. What's the news that's got you so discouraged?"Joshua glanced at Daren who looked away. Lazy to argue. Since there was no response, Joshua turned the phone back on.He moved the screen of the flat object, looking for the watch history that Daren had seen earlier.There was a news item, which read. THE CITY'S MOST INFLUENTIAL YOUNG BUSINESSMAN IS ABOUT TO GET MARRIED TO A J
A young man, twenty years old, wearing a black hat, black jacket and long pants, came out of a modest apartment on the outskirts of the city."Going out, are you?" asked Daren, who had been there for about half an hour. The young man's steps stopped. He widened his eyes, right after closing the apartment door. He didn't think he'd become someone's target so soon. "Who are you?" the young man asked, simultaneously raising his guard. He lowered his head, not wanting his face to be too exposed to strangers. "We met at the restaurant." Daren said coldly. "What restaurant? I don't recognize you!" the young man insisted, raising his voice and waving his arms to get Daren out of his way.He tried to dodge. However, Daren was not the type of person to be lied to so easily. "Don't you lie! I already know everything! You opened fire in that restaurant!"The young man looked to his right and left. Looking for an opening to escape. Lingering here for too long would leave him cornered.Daren
TWO HOURS AFTER THE SHOOTING AT THE RESTAURANT.Daren, visited the place again, to find out who had opened fire. His curiosity was still very high about this matter. Daren used a flashlight to find his way in the darkness. The atmosphere of the room was still disorganized. Daren could see vaguely that nothing had changed here. Everything was left as it was.Daren pointed his flashlight at the roof, looking for the CCTV cameras installed in this restaurant."Found it!" Daren shrieked, just as he found the CCTV camera attached to the highest corner of this room.There wasn't just one CCTV, but four CCTVs scattered in several places. Daren immediately took one CCTV from its place, then the others as well. After getting what he wanted, Daren then left from there.***"Search carefully!" Joshua ordered seriously. His eyes refused to move from the monitor screen. "Okay!" Daren replied excitedly. Joshua did the same. Daren's eyes refused to move from one spot. He was very focused on the
Sebastian, who was the shooter in the restaurant incident, has died at the hands of someone, whose identity remains unknown. Someone sent Sebastian's head to the hotel, where Daren and Joshua were staying. It remains a mystery, who killed Sebastian? Could the EAGLE EYE members be involved in this mystery? *"Is Xena coming back to Distric S01?" asked Daren very seriously. He showed a flat expression. However, his mind was thinking about many things. Especially the plan to scramble EAGLE EYE's headquarters, which until this moment, was unknown where it was located?In this case, Daren wanted to prove. He was capable of being a strong man"Xena, don't say anything. She left everything to us." Joshua answered briefly. Getting a mysterious shipment from someone, which contained a human head, made Joshua think even harder.Moments after reading the threatening letter, Joshua immediately informed Xena. The beautiful woman, it seemed, couldn't be bothered. From the way Xena had spoken
The road was clear. Daren drove his car at high speed. There weren't many vehicles on this road. During the trip, Daren and Joshua didn't talk much. Both Daren and Joshua were busy with their own thoughts. Right at kilometer 123. Daren saw two mysterious black cars, constantly looming behind. From the way the car was following, Daren guessed a little. "There's a little mouse, trying to get into the lion's cage," said Daren, using a meaningful gesture.Joshua, who understood, glanced in the rearview mirror. What Daren said was true. He saw two black cars following them behind.Joshua didn't recognize either car. After all, he hadn't asked Xena for an escort. Certainly, the enemy had arrived. They were delivering precious lives into the lion's den. "Do you want to switch positions?" offered Joshua, who immediately got a shake of the head from Daren. "I can handle this. I've been looking forward to the sensation for a while."Instead of feeling fear, Daren felt the opposite sensation
"Are you okay, Joshua?" asked Daren quite anxiously, even though he was also experiencing severe shocks. Joshua just nodded slowly. Wasting no time, he quickly got out of the car. So did Daren. A girl, walking briskly with a few stout men in tow, followed behind."Isn't she the woman we met earlier?" Daren narrowed his eyes. He re-examined the figure of the beautiful woman. It was familiar. However, it was unknown what her name was.Joshua did not answer. He increased his vigilance, because the men who were guarding the woman were none other than the EAGLE EYE members, who in the past few days, had been wanted.Joshua didn't bother with the woman, he focused more on the EAGLE EYE members."Increase your vigilance, Daren. They're EAGLE EYE members!" Joshua warned. Daren clenched his hands into fists. Now he understood that the woman had deliberately crashed into the car, to raise the flag of war to Black Shadow.Daren remembered very well, how at the crosswalk, the girl had pretende
