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 or not? Daren smiled wryly. What he had planned was not what he had expected. It turned out that tonight, the manager wasn't coming to the restaurant. For that matter, Daren was very curious. Daren thought hard about how he could explain this to Joshua and Xena. They must be disappointed, because the plan that has been carefully prepared, apparently did not go as desired. Daren didn't want to go home empty-handed. However, he also didn't know where else to look for information on EAGLE EYE headquarters? Returning empty-handed was bound to make Xena furious. "Hey, you little guy!" someone shouted from behind. He shouted loudly, so all eyes were on him. Daren turned around. This was quite a surprise. It had been less than twenty-four hours since Daren had been in the District, but bad luck seemed to have caught up with him long ago. "Who are you calling a little man, sir?" asked Daren without showing any emotion. "Still asking questions, you idiot!" cursed the man and immediately tugged on Daren's shirt collar. He had a terrifying look on his fierce face. Because of the man's tight grip, Daren's body was lifted up. However, Daren still remained calm until this moment. "You're the one who hit my friend!" the man pointed out with a fierce, angry stare. Daren raised one eyebrow, astonished. It came as a complete surprise to him. Who had he beaten up? In the past few days, there had been so many people Daren had fought, that he didn't know which of them was this man's friend? "Friend? Which friend are you referring to?" Daren asked innocently. "My friend! The man you beat his body into submission this afternoon!" He tightened his grip on Daren's shirt collar. The man, then, raised his arms, so that Daren was lifted up. It didn't take long for Daren to recognize the man in question. "Apparently, that big belly, is your friend? Why, I feel like you're different?" He smiled mockingly. "You idiot!" Cursing in annoyance, he threw Daren's body, like flying a paper airplane. It was very light. However, it made a mess of a table and chairs. The restaurant was again filled with hysterical screams at women. Again, those who were there had to witness a fight for the second time. Daren got up. Despite being slammed and his ass hitting the table, Daren still managed to smile broadly. That smile meant that anything violent was no longer a big deal to Daren. He patted his shoulders, which were dirty from the fall. The man clenched his hands into fists. Ready for a follow-up attack. "Come here, sir! I'm not a baby, hiding in its mother's arms," Daren challenged seriously. Being challenged made the man even angrier. Those who were there, hurriedly left the restaurant. They were afraid of becoming the target of a fight between Daren and the man. Who would win?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
"Hold them, Daren!" Joshua exclaimed loudly. He was trying to close the gap as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, Daren was frozen in place, confused by Joshua's intentions."Don't just stand there, you idiot! Look at them!" Joshua swore harshly. His face, which had been quite calm, now looked sinister again.The six men who were members of EAGLE EYE had just swallowed a pill that was kept in their coat pocket. In just a few seconds, foam came out of their mouths. Daren couldn't hide his shock, while Joshua closed his eyes. He had just remembered one thing. However, before he could go any further, they had already taken action."What did they do? Did they poison themselves?" asked Daren curiously.Joshua nodded. He was only a few feet away from them. However, his efforts were still unable to stop them."We're too late. How could I forget the most important thing. Shit!"In addition to blaming himself, Joshua also swore harshly. Daren could feel the frustration in Joshua. It could be s
