Veronica said, "maybe because of his estate?" I replied, "I don't have any relatives and nobody knows I'm rich except 5 people." I was going to speak further but Veronica just gave me a sign. I instantly stopped and whispered, "what's the matter, Veronica?" She whispered, "someone's staring us, just take a look at the bush behind you, it's constantly moving."

I took a glance at the bush and Veronica was right. We slowly headed towards the bush and at a sudden, the man sprinted out. We chased him but he quickly ran and sat in a car and escaped. We couldn't find out who was it. Hana said, "we're late, we should have been agile."

I started thinking that there may be three people behind me to kill me. It was 2 p.m and Hana asked me and Veronica," should I  drop you both home?" We said, "any doubt?" When we were heading home Hana asked us," how did you convey your message to each other without talking to each other?" I replied, "because we are best friends and don't worry we'll teach you too."

We both started laughing hysterically. Hana was looking at our face. Hana dropped me home and went ahead. When I returned home I quickly got to the basement and Nikki was waiting for me there and then we both continued training as usual and finally, Nikki said," Arnold, now you're a strong man and I think now your training is over. Now you can protect yourself and from tomorrow you are learning shooting.

When I got into my room. I texted Hana," would you like to come for a walk around town?" I quickly got a reply, "no, I'm a bit busy and I would be unable to come." Then I thought to text Veronica. I quickly texted a message and got a positive reply.

We met at 4th Ave street, near Country Music Hall of Fame. Veronica asked me," why you didn't ask Hana for a walk with you?" I lied this time, "walking with best friends is always better than walking with a girlfriend." Veronica gave me an annoyed look and said," do you wanna say you got rejected by Hana, don't you?" I replied," Yeah, exactly! So, should we go?"

We started roaming and talking with each other. We had a strong instinct that we were being pursued. We turned around and were shocked to see that 2 people equipped with Katana! It was fine back when only one person would try to assassinate me. Now we both gave each other a glance and Veronica removed a pepper spray from her pocket and sprayed it in both of their eyes.

We both immediately called Hana for help. She replied that she couldn't come over. We both started thinking about what to do with these guys. We almost had a thought to kill them. Sam suddenly came and said, "don't even try to kill them..."
