The playboys alighted from the taxi under the dark pleasant sky and headed into the hotel Sheila had booked for them. The city was alive when they arrived and bubbling. Rex received the keys from the receptionist and lead the way into the large room. Emilio flopped into the soft sofa as they enters with a loud sigh while Gael lay on the couch in tiredness. However, Rex goes to the window and stares out for fresh air. During this time he noticed the people has their native attires and this baffled him. " Guys, didn't Sheila mention Zhu lives in a village? " He asked and Emilio replied. " Yeah. I guess she mentioned something about a remote village. Why do you look troubled? " " It's their attires and hairstyles. I got brown hair and you Emilio had silver black...

It's my fault they are here. I have got to save them " Rex replied firmly. They were all in the unfurnished living room having a conversation. Rex couldn't sit. He is just so antsy so he stood up, leaning over the wall. As for Emilio and Gael, they both sat together but listen attentively. Yu Chan's brother, Yu Yin only stood aside and watch. " This man you are going against is very powerful. He is sadistic. No one could Chase him out of this village or stop him. " Anyone who did end up losing everything he has. I did too but look at me now, lost and hopeless " Rex swallowed hard at this. He shared glances with his friends and then settled his gaze upon
The playboys arrived before the house of Zhu just exactly the next day. It turns out to be a very big mansion. The security around this home is very tightened and so they couldn't enter. The playboys and the Chinese brothers decided to rent an inn that luckily was built before this fine house.They took up a room in this inn which, fortunately, its window faces the compound of Zhu's house. They sat down around the table to have a conversation and to decide what to do next. " I think we should keep watch and see the activities of his house. We can't go in unnoticed. We have to be familiar with everything " Rex suggested and they all agreed. " We will take a turn in watching then. We should take our time.

I suggested we go to the market and get some " Rex said as he get to his feet.His daily task has to be made too as the robotic voice was telling him. Gael and
"It's a beautiful country to be sure. Look at those tall buildings Rex " That was Emilio during the journey to Mr. Dacy's home. They where in a traveling bus. The playboys would have preferred to fly by air to make the mission very much faster but the preparation to get the authority's permission will take forever. There are still some things money would never buy. Rex smiles at the window where he could see the outside. Emilio seems to be enjoying the ride the most. Gael was sleeping this time. It has been a stressful week for every one of them. All of a sudden, as the journey goes on Sheila's text message comes in. Rex quickly checks on it in haste. " Emilio it's Sheila. She sent in a message saying Stacy has been to her " " How does Stacy know Sheila? " Emilio asked softly as he turn from the window to Rex. " I gave Stacy the instructions to contact Sheila's contact if I am unavailable. She knows we are here to rescue the kids " " Ohh " Emilio mutters softly then he become
It was a very unfortunate morning for Zhu, the human trafficker that day as the cops came to his house with an arrest warrant. He was shocked when he was taken. He tried convincing the cops into taking some bribes but they turn deaf this time. Why? Because the brilliant Rex Louie had given them far more than one could ever think of. Zhu was taken to police custody and Court almost immediately. Mr Ducy arrives to testify against him and Yu Chan did as well. Even Tanya comes forward to speak. The judge was so annoyed after seeing the evidence.He took no time before sentencing the man to life imprisonment and everyone was stunned. Tanya weeps In the court. She was so excited and relieved that the Evil man has been taken by the law. Zhu however couldn't believe this sudden occurrence. It feels so much like a dream to him. He knows perfectly well Yu Chan wouldn't have defeated him alone. Before he was taken away forever he goes to Yu Chan and asks. " Who is it? Who is your backup?
The playboys had many thoughts going on in their heads on how to deal with Toni when they alighted from the car. They storm into the house to look for him but they couldn't find him. They searched all nook and cranny for Toni but he seem to have vanished into thin air. " He probably must have run away after watching the TV. He was here last night " Stacy said rather breathlessly. " That sly fraud. I will get him sooner or later " Rex gritted his teeth angrily. At last, they settled down with the kids and the playboys soon goes to the spacious living room to have their hearty conversation with Sheila. They talked about their time in China and how much they journey to Mr. Ducy's home to save Tanya. " Your knowledge as a computer nerd helps as well Sheila," Gael said. " We wouldn't have located the Chinese brothers without you " " Yeah. I miss them already " Emilio said gently. " I think we should all go back home. RCC's gate will be open next tomorrow.

A smile touched his lips and he nodded carefully in acknowledgment. The government had done right by them. The Island of P and D is just the perfect site for vacation. Upon their arrival, the administrator, a vibrant woman with too much lipstick walks out of the large building ahead. The island of P and D has a soothing environment. A place that gives a calming and relaxing effect. However, it has an aura that suggested extreme heat and excess sun which might provide blisters later on.

It's a gloomy day. A very sad one for the Playboys. Rex Louie had never expected his heart to be broken again. He allowed his friends to take away the body of Micah May and do the needful. For what seemed like an eternity he didn't move or speak. He only watches in silence at the blank space. After some time Emilio appears in the doorway. He debated on how possible to present his speech. " Come along now Rex. Let's go " Rex replied silently. He stood up from the bed and packed all his belongings. He didn't speak or react. He gets into the backseat of the car and Gael who still had dirt in his hands returns from the backyard while sweating profusely.

The night before has been deliriously exciting. He slowly made to pull her off but the young lady sleepily burrows closer to him. For some minutes Rex waited for her to drift back to sleep before he ease her away gently and get off the bed.

He looks different and his race is just so obvious. Rex Louie shuddered when he gets the answer and swiftly he picked up his cell phone and put a cal
