"Huh?"Evelyn and the other policemen froze as they glanced at Denise, then at Eric, then back at Denise. They repeated this action for quite a while before they burst out into laughter as they couldn't hold it back any longer.Denise frowned as he looked at the policemen who were laughing and felt confused. Did he say anything wrong? No, he didn't, he just pointed out the person who had assaulted him and then they burst out laughing."What's wrong, why are you laughing?" Denise asked, looking even more confused."Everything is wrong." One of the policemen replied even before Evelyn could say anything.Eric was someone who had saved their lives twice and didn't ask for a dime, even if he was to be caught at a crime scene, they were going to do their best to cover up for him.Talk more or less about their superior who seems to have a rather ambiguous relationship with him. And now this rich second generation had said that he had beaten him up.Even if Eric did, they were not going to
"Seems like you have quite a good relationship with that policewoman." Chloe suddenly said as Eric drove her back home.It was already evening and Eric was driving Chloe back home. For some reason, he felt rather unsettled as he looked around the road. For some reason, an ominous feeling grew in his heart as he drove along the Highway."Yeah, we are quite close, that's it." Eric shrugged as he replied, his voice sounding rather flaccid."I see." Chloe shrugged and didn't say anything else as she thought that Eric was annoyed by what she did in the afternoon because the Eric she knew would have immediately tried to flirt with her.But then at the moment, he sounded flaccid as though he didn't want to talk. Well, that was none of her business, she couldn't force him to talk when he didn't want to talk.Besides, she wasn't interested in talking to him and just only wanted to make him say things she was sure he wouldn't say in a normal circumstance.Eric's frown became even deeper as he d
Eric moved the seat backwards enabling Chloe to sit on his lap while facing the broken window, her hands wrapped around his neck as it looked like she was snuggling towards him.Eric felt his senses invaded by Chloe's strong perfume and for a moment, he wanted to breathe in while he observed the beauty sitting on his lap.But then he dared not to. Apart from the fact that Chloe was watching him, any slight mistake was going to lead to death. He was driving at a high speed and thus it would be very easy for him to lose control of the car.Once he did, a fatal accident was going to happen, and once the accident happened, there was no way he and Chloe would be able to survive.Eric breathed in as he forcefully calmed himself down knowing well he mustn't be caught by Chloe as he continued to drive.He already had an escape plan in his mind and was just waiting for the right time to use it."So what's next, pretty boy." Chloe's cold voice sounded in Eric's ear, her way of saying pretty bod
Chloe who looked rather happy seeing the cars was shocked by Eric's actions and couldn't help but ask as they went free fall from the railings which were quite from the bridge,"Why did you do that?"But then she got no reply from Eric as he seemed not to hear her due to the wind."Splash!"The two fell into the water and because of the force, they sank straight down. But then at the next moment, gunshots were heard as bullets dropped into the river like raindrops.Chole couldn't help but shiver as she saw this, it was then she knew why Eric had jumped straight into the river, it turned out that the men were not sent by her family, rather they were there to kill her.Suddenly, Chloe felt her body suddenly pressed against Eric's body tightly and the latter began to swim at a rather impressive speed towards the shore.Even though she could swim, she couldn't do it as fast as Eric was doing, besides he had been underwater all this while she had been coming out to breathe, and that was how
Eric's figure flashed appearing inside the forest as he looked around. If he wanted to escape safely with Chloe, then he'd have to take the men down.Though he knew he couldn't kill every one of them, at least, he still had to incapacitate some of them.Eric frowned as he looked around at the men who were approaching slowly while using signals to communicate with themselves.They were about five slowly approaching, he was sure that the others were in other places. He was going to take down this group and then leave right away.He couldn't delay it as if he should delay it, then something might happen and he didn't want anything to happen.Looking at the men, Eric's eyes flashed with a glint as he looked at them. Though he wanted to kill them, he still needed to know who sent them.From the way the men walked and organized themselves, it was obvious that they were used to something like this as they advanced slowly.Eric dispelled his thoughts as his figure flashed hiding behind one of
Eric's expression changed upon hearing the voice but he didn't move, neither did he raise his hands, he just stood like a statue as though he wasn't going to do anything."I said freeze and beside your hands!" The voice said again, this time, even harsher than the first time."Alright, I'll do as you've said." Eric chuckled, raising his hands slowly."Now, you turn around slowly." The voice ordered.Eric grinned, turning around slowly to face the other party.Turning around, he saw the owner of the voice, a tall bulky man, pointing a gun at Chloe's head while glaring at him."You move, I kill her." The man threatened, glaring at Eric."Don't worry, I won't move." Eric chuckled as he stared at the man with a proactive look."How about we have a little chat? I'd like to know a lot of things." Eric continued acting as though he didn't care if Chloe was at gunpoint."I'm not interested in having any chat with you, just shut the heck up." The man growled."Tell me, who sent you to kill her
Just as Eric and Chloe left the spot, four armed men came rushing towards the place. Looking around, they saw the body of their comrade on the floor and couldn't help but frown.While on the way, they saw the bodies of the other five too which made them angry, and yet now, another was dead. It seemed like the person beside the girl was very skilled; they had to be a lot more careful."Let's go." The man who seemed to be the leader ordered and they immediately left as they continued to go after Eric and Chloe even though they didn't know which direction they had taken.Chloe held onto Eric's neck as she snuggled closer towards him subconsciously afraid that she was going to fall while Eric sprinted across the forest as though he was not carrying anything.After a while, Eric suddenly stopped and then placed Chloe on the floor."What are we going to do now?" Chloe asked as she looked around feeling scared.Everywhere was already dark, the only thing that could be heard was the rustling
Eric panted as he ran with Chloe in his arms, he was positive that the men were right behind him and he had to shake them off almost immediately, or else the situation was going to get worse.Just then, rapid footsteps sounded behind them as Eric ran. Chloe shivered as she looked at the men following behind them. Since Eric was carrying her, she was able to see his back as a result, she saw the men."What's wrong?" Eric asked, noticing that Chloe was shivering."It's...it's the men...." Chloe stuttered as she managed to say."Oh shit!" Eric cursed and picked up his pace."Bang! Bang!"Gunshots sounded forcing Eric to hide behind a tree as he couldn't continue to run. He would end up getting killed if he continued to run mindlessly. He had to take out the men first."Stay here and don't make a noise," Eric instructed as he placed Chloe down while panting heavily.Even though he was very tired, coupled with the injury he had received earlier, he felt quite weak, but then there was nothi
"Where to now?" Eric stopped after running for a while and asked.He had already outrun the soldiers; they were not able to match his speed, and even before they could call for reinforcement, he had already escaped, so there was no need to worry."If you turn left and go about five kilometers, you'll find the middle-aged man in the taxi earlier; he'll tell you where to take us." The figure on Eric's shoulder spoke with difficulty before finally passing out."I see," Eric muttered and looked at the girl he was still holding.She had already fainted a long while, and there were bullet holes all over her body.The boy, too, was no different, and Eric couldn't help but praise him a bit, seeing that he had held out for this long.Well, he couldn't just abandon them yet; he had already made up his mind to save them and then give them some instructions, that was if they were going to listen to him.And if they were not going to listen to him, that was also none of his business, he was not go
"Who do you think I am?" Eric chuckled, staring at the man with a smirk."You know you shouldn't bully the weak right?" Eric continued, the smile on his face getting wider with each second.The two on the floor looked at each other not knowing what to do. Though they didn't know who Eric was, neither did they know what he wanted, they couldn't feel any hostility from him."Young man, what do you want?" The man sitting on the sofa frowned, breaking the silence.If Eric was able to come into the Villa without alerting the soldiers outside, then he would have to be very strong and thus, he didn't want to underestimate him.It was going to be fatal if he did since he didn't know Eric's origin."I came to look for a brat here, but I don't think he's home right now." Eric shrugged and looked around.He couldn't see any hint of resemblance and thus ruled out the fact that he was the other party's father.Also, the other party was not a fool; they would never actively get themselves involved
In less than five minutes, Eric got to the Villa where he was going. At the moment, he was standing on the rooftop of another Villa observing the Villa.After a while, he leaped off the roof and landed softly. If he was to stay too long, he would be discovered and that was not what he wanted.All that he wanted was just to do what he came to do without any problems.Eric sighed and looked at the Villa with a sigh. Though he didn't see anyone outside the Villa, he could tell that there was security all around.At the same time, he was feeling lazy and was not willing to confirm his theory.So he just stood at a corner observing the Villa. He still had a lot of time, so there was no need to rush.He didn't know what the patrol would end, but that didn't mean he cared. If things proved to be rocky, he was just going to head to a hotel and sneak in.Or he could go to any other place to spend the night. From the rules, everywhere was to be shut down once it was seven.Activities could stil
"We've arrived at the estate." The driver said, breaking the silence in the car after a long while."Good." Eric stretched and opened the car door, alighting from the car."Sir, here's your money." Eric gave the man one of the notes that had been exchanged at the airport."Young man, I don't think I have changed. Your money is only a hundred Draco, and yet you're giving me a five hundred Draco." He smiled bitterly."You should just accept it, I don't have another." Eric smiled bitterly and pushed the money into the man's hands then walked off even before he could say anything.Soon, the sound of the taxi leaving the Vicinity could be heard and Eric couldn't help but sigh in relief.Looking at his watch, he realized that there were just ten minutes left till seven.Though he was in an estate, he was not sure what could happen and thus could only thread carefully.He couldn't be too rash in his decision, also, he didn't know what the security of the place he was going to look like.Aft
"Shit!" Eric cursed angrily under his breath raising his hands to check the time on his watch only to see that it was almost seven.He had been trying to stop a taxi for the past thirty minutes, but it was all futile.All the taxis he flagged would stop at first, but then after hearing where he was going, they would decline.Though he felt that it was because the place was too far, he could tell that there was another reason.What was he going to do? With the weird rule of the country, he was going to have to step back into the hotel.He didn't want to spend the night and just wanted to get to what he wanted. Finish it up and then leave the country.Though he was not scared of breaking the rules of the country as he was confident in his strength, at the same time, he was not willing to be caught in the mess.After all, it was none of his problems. He wouldn't have known that such was happening if it was not for the idiot who called Sophia.Eric sighed and looked around. The street was
"Good morning sir." Michael's old voice came from the other end of the phone just as the call was connected."Good morning," Eric replied he was not used to formalities and thus just went straight to the point."What about the ticket, has it been bought?" Eric inquired."Yeah, I have bought it. Also, I happen to have a friend at the airport. I'll give him a call right now, and he will direct you on the rest." Micheal answered."Thanks for the trouble." Eric smiled and ended the call.Stepping hard on the accelerator, the car dashed forward heading toward the airport. He planned to go and come back that very day, though he was sure that was not possible, he was still going to go home.If they were to text him, he was going to lie to them. There was no need for them to worry.All he hoped was that what he was going to do was going to be successful, or else it was going to be quite a hassle if it wasn't.Soon, Eric arrived at the airport. Looking for a spot to park his car, Eric walked
(The Next Day)"Are you sure the head of the police would not be annoyed?" Charlotte asked as she turned to look at Eric with a slight frown on her face."Why should she get annoyed?" Eric shrugged, getting into the car.Everyone had already gone to work except for Aunt Mary who was always at home.For some unknown reason, Charlotte happened to sleep more than she was supposed to and thus woke up late.Eric wouldn't have woken up early if it was not for Emily who barged into the room and complained that he was to get a car for Emily.Chloe's workplace and Emily's workplace were quite a distance from each other.So because they didn't want to disturb Eric, Emily was the one taking them all to work.Natalie had a car, and Evelyn refused to take the car Chloe offered her.After all, it was Eric who had given it to her. So the lazy girl stormed to Eric's room that morning and demanded that he get Emily a car.As for Sophia, Eric's company was just right before they got to Chloe's company,
"You don't have to look so nervous, it's not as though I want to gobble you up." Eric chuckled, stepping into the house and glancing at Sophia, who seemed rather nervous, though she was trying her best to hide it."I'm not nervous." Sophia immediately denied it and walked back to the cushion, still struggling to hide her nervousness.She had been thinking about how to get Eric to notice her, she didn't know that he already did notice her and was coming already.Also, she didn't want the others to see Eric here; after all, what was a man with two girlfriends doing in the house of a single lady like her? That was going to arouse a lot of suspicion and she didn't want something like that."So you've been wanting to talk to me, what do you want to tell me?" Eric broke the silence and stared at Sophia who appeared to be lost in her thoughts."Well...." Sophia stuttered, not knowing what to say."I...." She continued to play with her fingers as she struggled to spill out the words.It was a
"What are you doing here?" Evelyn turned around, looking at Eric who had just walked into her room."Should I go back instead?" Eric asked, turning around to leave."I didn't say that, I was just asking what you wanted." Evelyn sighed, face palming not knowing what to do to Eric."What do husband and wife do together, alone and at night?" Eric grinned, walking towards Evelyn who was sitting on a chair with a lot of paperwork, intending to grope her from behind."I hope you remember that this room is soundproof right." Evelyn chuckled as she placed something on the table, which made Eric stop in his tracks."But this ain't fair." Eric sighed, feeling rather disgruntled."This world ain't fine baby." Evelyn grinned, turning around to look at Eric."So what do you want?" Evelyn asked, her voice finally turned serious as she looked at Eric."I know you have many questions, you can ask." Eric sighed and sat on the bed, staring at Evelyn who was now looking at him."Well...." Evelyn stutter
