"DROP your gun!!" Ara said again.

"Please don't kill me like the other personnel sent by the Tyrant!-" the man said, the fear was obvious in his eyes.

"Why are you scared?! You are the ones who dig your own pit!!. You know I don't want anyone to interfere with me, so you choose, die or die?" she uttered.

"P-pakawalan mo ako" pakiusap ng lalaking hostage.

"Shut up or else you will die too!!!" said the male triad.

While Zandro was looking around, looking for Ara, " Why did she take so long?"

"Kumain ka na lang diyan, hayaan mo na ang Sandra mo-" ani Zyl.

Zandro was about to scoop up food when they heard a gunshot. People panicked inside the restaurant and ran out.

Zandro immediately stood up as well as Zyl, Salem, and Than. "Do you have a gun?" Zandro asked them.

"Here" Than handed the gun he was carrying to the first Archon and walked down the path that Ara had taken.

Ara was lying on the floor while holding her shoulder which had been hit by the bullet. "He has escaped."

"Search the area", the first Archon command

"Are you okay? What happened?" Zandro asked her and immediately helped her to stand.

"The man, held hostage."

"My Lord, he's gone" ani Than.

A lot of blood had been lost to Ara, her knees were tender and she was about to lose consciousness. Fortunately, the first Archon caught her before she completely lost consciousness.

"He's a Triad, Mi Lord, he has the seal symbol of a Triad", Salem said "Zyl and I chased him but he escaped too fast."

"Hayaan niyo na, we need to take Ara to the clinic. She is losing blood" ani Zandro.

"Yes, My Lord", responses of three.

Zandro loaded Ara and immediately put her in the car. While Than took a first aid kit and started to treat Ara's bullet wound. "It's a bit painful, endure it", Than said, and then took a scalpel to cut Ara's skin to get the bullet.

REGAN looked sharply at his men. "Who among you encountered her" cold exclaimed of the Tyrant.

While his men were just bent over and unable to speak in fear. They know that the Tyrant will kill them for the mistake they made.

"Admit, that I must admit! Otherwise, all of you who are here will die!-"

A man walked forward and knelt in front of him. "Forgive me, Master!! I have committed a sin."

"What did you do to her?!" Regan said emphatically and loudly.

"I accidentally shot her, Master Regan-"

The man was stunned to see the Tyrant's frightening and terrifying stare. "I said just watch over her!!, I didn't hurt her, you motherf*cker!!."

The man's whole body was shaking and could not look at the Tyrant, so he remained on his knees. "I beg for your forgiveness, M-master."

The Tyrant stood up and picked up the katana displayed on the wall of his office. "I own her so you're not allowed to touch even her hair. Do you understand that?!"

"Yes, Master" shouted the response of his staff.

The man swallowed his saliva hard as the Tyrant approached and pointed the katana at his neck. "And you who tried to kill my ace, What punishment do you want? Or maybe it'd be better to just kill you?!"
