Vegas' POV

"Who the hell are you? Who's your boss?" I yelled from inside the car."

"Khun Vegas, get out of the car." One of the men replied. As there was no response from me, he smirked at continued to say. "As you wish. We have orders to take you dead or alive, either way." He glanced at the others and ordered. Shoot!"

Even though the car was bulletproof, it wouldn't last long. Those weapons are potent.

The shots continued...the car's protection almost collapsed. We lowered ourselves to the floor of the car as the windows shattered.

"Nop, get ready. We're not going to give in so easily. I'll get to Pete no matter what."

"Don't worry Khun Vegas, we're not alone"

"What?" I was confused.

Nop winked at me.

Suddenly there was noise from other cars stopping nearby. More shots were fired and the eight men were taken down one by one.

"It's all clear, Khun Vegas! You can safely get out of the car"

An unknown voice yelled from outside the car.

"Let's get out of the car, Kuhn Vegas." Nop grabbed my arm, helping me up and out of the wrecked car.

When I got out of the car, I was surprised.

"Khun Vegas, Khun Nop, sorry for the delay. We kept our distance so as not to be discovered prematurely." One of the men bowed to us apologetically.

Nop nodded in return.

I turned to Nop not understanding how three cars and nine heavily armed men had emerged to save us.

"Nop, what does that mean? Who are they?"

"This is the ghost team Pete ordered me to form to protect Khun Vegas, Khun Macau and Venice this whole time, Khun Vegas."

"He did ..." Pete thought of everything to protect us... "So there's a team protecting Pete, right? Is he protected?"

"Sorry, Khun Vegas"

"FUCK!" Looking at Nop's expression, I knew that as usual Pete thought like the Theerapanyakul family's head bodyguard, not as a member of the minor family himself.

I looked at the man who had challenged me before. He was kept alive by the ghost team. "You two, take this man to the dungeon of the minor family's mansion. I'll deal with him later (grim smile). The rest, come with me. We need to get to the port fast."

I took my phone "Kinn, I think we have a problem."

Pete's POV

The ship carrying the armament left the port after all the inspection done by the client and his team together with Arm's consultancy.

We were all by the harbour. I was carefully watching every movement, but above all, for any sign of Vegas. Both Vegas and Nop could not be reached by phone. Something was off.
