2024-10-29 19:42:56Daren 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!!! The second shot was fired. Daren clutched his head with both hands, shielding himself from the possibilities. His focus on the figure was broken. The shot into the air this time, did not come from the figure he had just seen. Daren turned his body clockwise. This room was deserted. There was not a single visitor here. Except for him. "Is this a trap?" thought Daren, guessing at the possibilities. Come to think of it, couldn't shots be fired from two different directions? Chances are, someone had given the order to mess this place up. "Daren!" Joshua arrived a few minutes later. "Are you okay?" he asked, breathing heavily. "I am, okay. But this place is a mess." Daren looked around. Tables and chairs were scattered on the floor. Joshua took notice. "I heard gunshots from outside. Shortly after, people came out of this place," Joshua said and Daren interrupted to confirm his guess. "Yes. Two shots. I saw a black shadow running in that direction. However, just as I was about to chase after it, suddenly the second shot was fired," Daren explained cautiously. After that brief incident, Daren increased his awareness of his surroundings. Could that black shadow still be here and hiding somewhere? "We'd better get back. Xena will want to hear this report." Daren nodded in agreement. "We should investigate this matter further. It looks like word of our arrival in the District has gotten out to EAGLE EYE," he guessed. Joshua ignored him. However, what Daren said was exactly what he thought. EAGLE EYE, had sniffed out their arrival to District S01. *** Meanwhile, in a separate place. "Sir! We have done what we were told, sir." A man knelt down and bowed his head behind a figure in a suit who was standing facing out the window. "You didn't kill him, did you?" the man in the suit asked flatly and did not move from his position. "Yes, sir. We just made a mess over there, like we were told to, sir." The man raised his head slightly. His position was still as before. On his knees. "You can go!" said the man without turning away. "Yes, sir." He immediately took a few steps back, before actually leaving the room. "Apparently you didn't heed my warning, Xena," he grinned meaningfully. *** "Did you manage to find the manager?" Xena asked seriously. Daren shook his head. "The manager didn't come to the restaurant today. A waiter told me that." "Not coming?" Xena's brow furrowed. She folded her arms across her chest. She gave Daren a sharp look. "Looks like it was all planned," Daren said with conviction. "There's no way two things happened at the same time. The manager wasn't there, and then there was a shooting. I'm sure someone planned all this. It's as if the events were set up to be a brutal attack." Daren also explained. He had seen a shadowy figure running fast, in the opposite direction. Only then, the second shot was heard. Not long after, the surroundings became quiet. As if, the visitors there were people who were deliberately paid to make noise? Daren thought so. Xena stroked her chin. "Your guess makes sense, Daren, but we don't know who ordered the shooters?" "Yes, Miss. That is also the big question in my mind. Should we solve this problem first or should we continue with our plan?" asked Daren very seriously. Xena glanced at Joshua, "how about it, Joshua? Do you have any other ideas? I want to hear from you, Joshua." Daren also looked at the man who had saved his life. Joshua sighed heavily. "Our original purpose in coming to this place was to seek information regarding EAGLE EYE's headquarters. The failure of the original plan has brought us closer to a new fact..." "Facts ... yes..." Xena nodded her head. Suddenly she seemed to have a new conjecture. "All right. Order the others to find out about the shooters in the restaurant. Soon we will catch this figure!" Xena ordered with a meaningful smile. "Okay!" Joshua and Daren replied simultaneously.

"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.

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

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

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.

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
