"Where do you want to go first, sir?" Andrea sat down and tightened her seat belt.Richard glanced at her. He made sure the passenger beside him was safely seated before he drove off. "Checking those places directly at this time is actually pointless."He was sure about that. Everyone was currently acting friendly in front of him and unlikely to show their ugliness, so checking on them right now was not the right time."Why do you think that, sir?" Andrea looked back at him with a furrowed brow.She had a different view. For her, it was a matter of confirming everything and the more times they were visited for inspection, the better it would be as it put pressure on those people with her presence.Richard's breathing slowed down. "You must know what my family went through a while ago. As a result of the attack and my actions that day, the entire country must currently be on alert.""The attack that happened some time ago and left your cousin dead." Andrea was silent for a few moments

"Shall we have lunch?" Andrea exited the car she was riding in and walked with Richard.This time, they didn't walk hand in hand, but they were still quite close and looked familiar.Richard nodded his head. He opened the door and invited Andrea to go ahead of him into the small cafe, also located on the city's outskirts. "You haven't had lunch yet, have you?"Andrea sat there, giving her an awkward nod. "Yes, we're out early enough for breakfast." She spoke flatly and seemed to be explaining because she did not expect to eat out with Richard.She thought they would go back to the other place to check or spread the rumours about their closeness more widely because they both came out with that purpose."Isn't that Mr. Richard?" The voice at the other table briefly distracted Andrea. She glanced over from the corner of her eye and found several people enthusiastically looking at them.Not just one, but she also saw several other tables taking notice of their presence there. It occurred

"What are you guys doing?" Andrea looked at them tensely. She did her best to act tough and not show any anxiety. Right now, she was facing a group of men dressed all in black, with fierce faces and muscular bodies underneath the clothes. Their faces were not friendly at all, and Andrea recognized them by the way she tried to remain calm as much as possible.The group of five men stood surrounded by her. Not only did it put Andrea under siege, but also her girlfriends panicked and approached her."What's going on, Andrea? Do you know them?" She held Andrea's arm and looked fearfully at the men.Andrea glanced at her, feeling bad for involving her friend in such an unpleasant experience. She looked at her, held her hand, and tried to break the embrace. "It's nothing; you should go first," she asked the woman.Her friend shook her head, frowned, and was reluctant to leave. "What do you mean? You want me to leave you here alone? Let them do who knows what to you?" She dismissed Andrea's

"Please hold for a moment, miss." One of the men on guard ordered by Richard to watch Andrea picked up the medical kit and started treating her.He saw that the condition of Andrea's hand was quite serious, so he took the part that had an open wound to treat while he would let Andrea get more intensive treatment when she arrived at the Marrison family manor. She finished and tried to bandage it."Is my hand going to be okay?" Andrea asked as the man's face seemed serious while handling her hand. I can't move my hand very well. It looks like it's broken." She didn't know the exact state of her hand, but she inferred so because the pain in her hand was quite overwhelming.The man moved away from her while shaking his head. "It's not that bad, miss. Your hand can't be moved properly at the moment, and it's also hurting because you're dislocated. Once you arrive at the manor, you'll get treatment. In the meantime, bear with it. We'll be there in fifteen minutes."Andrea nodded her head, l

"Miss Andrea..." The knock on Andrea's room kept ringing. The maid who usually served her today still hadn't seen her.Normally, Andrea would go out in the morning before breakfast, take a walk and then go back into her room to take a shower or read, only to come back out at ten in the morning for breakfast, but from seven o'clock to ten o'clock today Andrea still hadn't come out and that made the maid who was responsible for her presence there then come to check on her.Waiting for the owner of the room to answer her made her even more anxious until she decided to open the door and walk in. "Miss, let me in." She opened the door to find Andrea still lying on her bed.It was a bit unusual for her, even though Andrea had only spent a week there. "Are you sleeping, miss?" She asked as she approached.Upon taking a closer look, the maid realised that Andrea's appearance was not as good as usual. The woman looked rather pale and sweaty even though the air conditioner in the room was still

The helicopter Richard was riding in arrived at the villa on the hill around midnight, before the heli actually landed a group of people were already waiting for him below. The wind was blowing and made some of them retreat a little because the wind had just come back and approached when Richard got off."Welcome sir." Richard was greeted by Bryce, the captain who was appointed to be the leader of the defense force that Richard had prepared.Bryce led the way by directing Richard into the Villa that was the center of their defense there with various important things stored there.Seeing the building after so long made him find many unfamiliar things there. The building remained the same, but not the contents, which had many different things. The place seemed much more filled than before.Richard stood in front of a samurai that was displayed there, the samurai was not a display, but belonged to Bryce who gave it to him and Richard displayed it there. Bryce was a samurai before becomin

"Don't you want to have breakfast first, sir?" Bryce followed Richard behind him.Richard shook his head. "Don't you think it's too early for breakfast?" He asked casually to Bryce, who had just returned from his morning training and accidentally saw him on his way out.Bryce thought about it as he continued to walk behind her. "You can at least wait until the sun comes up, sir, I want to prepare something for you."While still training together, Richard often ate with him, and he made healthy fitness trainer-style meals for Richard several times. Now, when he saw him there, he intended to do the same. He didn't like seeing Richard start to ignore what he ate. Honestly, compared to being the captain of the army that Richard made, Brcyce preferred Richard's security guard, who spent more time near him.She could then pay attention to his diet, and Richard's safety was her priority."Maybe next time." Richard refused. "I want to go back to my place now. You just need to prepare here and

"Enjoy your meal in peace. No one is forcing you to speak in this place." Richard handed her the order that had already arrived.Rosse reluctantly smiled at him. She began to eat happily and was somewhat surprised by the taste of the food, which seemed unfamiliar to her but tasted amazing. "Does it really taste like this?" She asked rather excitedly and widened her eyes.The tips of Richard's lips were slightly raised. He smiled faintly at the figure that initially looked awkward but, a second later, quickly turned liquid because of the food. He shook his head softly. "It always tastes like that in this place, but in other places, it's not as good."The woman nodded, forgetting the fact that she didn't have to talk to be comfortable. Her awkwardness disappeared, and now she spoke comfortably on her own. "I like the flavour. I think I've seen it in many places. They sell it like they sell fried chicken. It's easy to find." She had thought that maybe it tasted like that, so many places

One evening, after a few hours, more than one helicopter landed in the village area, and the whole village became crowded because of this.They did not expect that the missing person who had been searched for by the strangers who came to the village was still alive. To them, it was quite impossible; considering what the storm was like that day and the ocean was a fierce place, they did not think that the missing person was still safe and intact."Mr. Richard." Smith got off first and came to him hurriedly.The 45-year-old man hugged Richard so tightly and emotionally that he had almost given up hope in his quest to find Richard. He himself had even stopped hoping that the possibility of Richard being alive and somewhere was such a great miracle. He was alive and found somewhere.Smith released his embrace and looked at Richard with happiness mixed with emotion. "I'm glad you're okay, sir."After Smith let go, James, who was led by Rachel, hugged him tightly. "I trust you are doing wel

"Alright, then. Tomorrow, we will go to look for your family's whereabouts." Alexa made the choice; Richard looked at her, who seemed confused.Richard didn't understand why Alexa seemed so serious when they had never discussed it with obvious effort before. "Why all of a sudden?" he wondered if perhaps they no longer wanted him there. Is it possible that my presence is becoming inconvenient?"Alexa smiled with a shaded face, her head shook, and her hand rubbed lightly over the back of Richard's hand, trying to get his attention. "No, it's not. Your existence is not inconvenient at all; quite the opposite. I'm honestly grateful to have you here." Alexa pursed her lips tightly and turned her attention to stare straight back ahead.She stared at the vast and calm expanse of the sea. Her feelings about letting go of Richard were still quite reluctant. She had a great desire to keep Richard there, but she also didn't want to be selfish."Today my friend came to tell me that in the village

After finishing cleaning up, Richard went to Alexa, who also seemed to be cleaning up the glasses in their house's living room.Richard's eyes scanned the place, looking for the whereabouts of the guest whose voice had been heard earlier when he entered through the back door. "Has the guest gone home?" he glanced over and helped Alexa.Without hesitation, Richard's hand took over the tray Alexa was carrying and placed it in the kitchen. At the same time, Alexa followed suit, carrying the snack container. "Yes, they're home." She replied flatly, without any expression that sounded cheerful from her answer.Richard watched her, noticing something a little different about Alexa's demeanour compared to usual. He thought maybe the guests had affected her mood, or maybe something else was to blame. He wasn't sure exactly, but even he didn't want to ask if Alexa didn't seem to want to explain. "Who are the guests who came?" She made small talk while walking towards the dining table.Approach

"Jacob, where are you going?" one of the villagers greeted Richard, who seemed to be walking with an axe in his hand. "Are you heading to the forest?" he asked enthusiastically because he was happy to see Richard, one of the new residents there.Richard, who had just managed to turn around and look for who was talking to him, smiled and nodded. "Morning, Mr. Jack." He politely greeted the old man whom he recognized as Sam's friend."Yes, morning, young man." He smiled kindly in response to Richard's greeting. "If you have time, come to the house. You promised to help me yesterday when you were free."Richard nodded. "Later, when I am free, I will try to drop by, sir. " He selflessly helped some nearby neighbours who needed his help.It had been a month since he had been in that place, and now he was living a very normal life there. Just like everyone else, Richard also had his own activities. Sometimes, he joined some men to go fishing at sea, without him knowing that he used to be a

Sitting in his private room, James looked anxiously at the picture frame containing Richard's picture. For days, he had been waiting for news of Richard and conducted a massive search. But the search was ultimately fruitless. There were still no reports of Richard's whereabouts or any signs of him being stranded somewhere.Her worries grew as time passed. The first 24 hours after Richard disappeared were the golden hour to find his whereabouts and determine whether he was in good or bad condition.But a week had passed since then, and there was still no further news of his whereabouts."Is there still no sign of Richard's whereabouts?" James asked Smith in the room.His anxiety was rife with other things, his heart was in turmoil, and his feelings had become chaotic since Richard's whereabouts were declared missing.The news of Richard's disappearance made him not stop thinking about where Richard was and what the situation was like. His condition, which he continues to worry about, c

"What took you so long to come back?" Alexa, who was waiting there, turned her head and noticed Richard, who had just returned, walking over to her.Richard nodded his head. "In line." he took over the groceries held by Alexa.Telling her about what he experienced while inside earlier, for him, Alexa didn't need to know that the Baron was still bothering him. Apart from not wanting to make the woman anxious, he also didn't want Alexa to have a particular view of his attitude that could be considered rude by her.He smiled at the woman. "Do we have anything else to do? Or do you want us to go home?"Alexa helped Richard carry a few easy things to take to not burden Richard too much. "Let's just go home; it's too late. Tomorrow, I have to get up early to store breakfast because Dad will be leaving early in the morning." She started to leave the place, followed by Richard, who walked beside her."Tomorrow morning? Where is Sam going?""Dad said there is someone he needs to help. One of t

Alexa glanced at Richard with a gaze that stared strangely at him."Why are you looking at me like that?" Richard, who realized her gaze, then asked.Alexa headed back to stare straight ahead. "I was just wondering. How could you do that? When you did it earlier, I looked so expert. Unlike someone who just tried, your posture and then the techniques you used seemed to clearly show that you were an expert." She looked back at Richard in confusion. "Tell me, how did you do it?"Richard looked at her in silence for a while. Like Alexa, he was confused by what had been done. He did not expect that his ability was that great.The more he thought about it, the more astonished he became. He obviously didn't remember anything at all., but strangely, he could do it all so well. "I don't know., Richard shook his head as he replied. "I'm not sure myself what I'm doing and how I'm doing it so well. All I feel is that my body knows how to do it." He explained the confusion to Alexa.After hearing

"No, it can't be like that. I disagree that I should stay away from her." Baron rejected their agreement, which he agreed to without thinking.Obviously, Baron rejected Richard's request to limit his interaction with Alexa. He dared challenge Richard and felt hateful and annoyed at him because Alex was the reason. He didn't want any other man or Richard to get close to him.Baron has liked Alexa for a long time, and Jack, from their teenage stuff, has always followed and been attracted to her. But his feelings were unrequited because Alexa didn't show any interest in him at all.The Baron knew that. He knew that Alexa didn't like him, but he still tried to get close to her, hoping that someday Alexa would change her mind. He kept trying and never gave up because he thought that maybe his efforts would be rewarded with what he hoped for someday.But if he couldn't get close to her in the end just because he lost the bet, then his efforts all this time were futile and ridiculous.He sho

The two of them were now in their respective positions, wearing a set of arrows and getting ready in place. He arrows where they were. They were surrounded by people who wanted to witness the showdown between the two.On one side, Richard only came along with Alexa, who was currently so nervous and anxious about the possibility of Richard's condition getting a bad name with this challenge.On the other hand, Baron was surrounded by friends who were eager to see Richard defeated. The young men of the village clearly disliked Richard's existence and the way Richard behaved towards them.Specifically, they didn't need a reason to dislike Richard because even just looking at him could immediately make them dislike him and want to look down on him."Shouldn't you undo your intentions, Jacob?" Alexa approached him again and spoke in a worried tone.She was distraught, having promised her father that she would look after Richard. She would take Richard there with the insight that maybe from
