Nakarating na kami sa abandonadong bodega ng Valenzeula. Ang dating pagtitipon ng mga Maharlika mambers, but something keeps bugging me...

This place is supposed to be temporarily shut down!

Tinignan ko si Aerum at siya rin nakakaramdam na... something is off.

Lumingon ako at nakita si Big Bo nag-lakad na patungo sa loob. Nakasuot siya na napaka loose na Jacket at hindi makikita ang kaniyang mga kamay, usually Big Bo will sometime stay out sa mga ganito, pero kung Malala na doon siya mag s-step out at tulungan kami.

Nagsi tinginan kaming lahat at sinundan si Big Bo. Pumasok kami sa loob at napaka tahimik, parang walang tao na ang mga pumupunta dito.

"Bilisan natin at search the place," I commanded.

"Yes, Commander!" sabi nila at nag hiwala-hiwalay na kami para hanapin si Azura. Hindi naman gano kalaki ang lugar na ito at sana tama ang aking kutob na ligtas lang si Azura.

Hangang...

May narinig kami na tatlong putok na baril.

Agad kami tumingin sa direksiyon na iyon at may nakita kaming lalaki na hawak ang buhok ng isa sa mga kasamahan namin and dragging his dead body dripping with blood. Naka suot na black mask ang lalaki.

May narinig kami ulit na putok ng baril mas lalo itong dumami at umingay.

IT'S A TRAP!

"Bilis! Umalis na ang iba dito!" sigaw ko while leading them the way.

"Why?"

"Why leave now? When the fun is about to get started?" lahat kami napahinto at nanigas. This man's aura is terrifying, this man is dangerous!

He was wearing a fox mask at naka suot pa ito ng white shirt at white na pantalon. Wala itong suot na sapatos kung di naka yapak lang. His feet were covered in blood.

And the first thing I knew... he charged towards me. Pinikit ko ang mga mata ko at hand ana pakiramdamin ang sakit pero wala akong naramdaman. Binuksan ko ang mga mata ko and I saw Big Bo using his arm he stopped the punch.

"Oh?" agad lumayo ang lalaki, "you're still alive? and joining gangs? well, aren't you too old for that, Kuzui." He said in a cold voice.

"My job is to protect them." Big Bo said sternly and looked at me. "Get away as soon as possible."

"Pano ka?" I said because looking at the man he's clearly the strongest here and plus lahat ng kalaban ay may mga armas.

"I can't leave yet without knowing whether Azura is okay or not," he said at tumingin sa lalaki.

"Run!" Aerum immediately grabbed my arm and we all followed her.

"Let's go find Azura," I said and pursed my lips.

"I know you will say that, but don't worry... everyone is ready to die here." Aerum chuckled and all of us ran everywhere avoiding the armed people.

And until I realized... there are only 3 people here, isa sa west at isa sa east at yung isa naman nandon sa sentro kalaban ni Big Bo. "Let's head north! Baka nandon si Azura!"

They all agreed and all of us ran at binuksan ang pinto.

I felt my legs weaken... men with their guns pointing at us and I saw a familiar man.

"Raizel!!" sigaw ni Aerum ready to charge at him.

"Nasaan si Azura!?" I shouted as well. What the fuck is happening? Bakit napunta kami sa mga ganto? We only wanted to help other people, just like she wanted.
