Book 2:Born To Be The Leader

Bab 20

" Kau nak buat apa dengan budak dua orang tu?." tanya Ghani melihat Tengku Haizard lama mendiamkan diri.

" Turn right and stop tepi." arah Tengku Haizard dan melompat turun dari lori.

" You two get down, your trip end here. Take care of your brother. Ghan." Tengku Haizard menyambut beg hitam berisi wang tunai yang dan menyerahkannya pada Lucas.

" Take this and go home. Don't worry about James. Go to this address and give this to a man with a crocodile on his shoulder, he will help you to get out of here."

" Thank you so much." Lucas mengesat air matanya yang tidak mampu ditahan dengan rasa bersyukur.

" Goodbye and take care!." jerit Haq sambil melambai tangan pada dua beradik itu.

" Thank you! God bless you!." jerit Lucas dan Noah sebelum berlari menuju kearah yang ditunjuk Tengku Haizard.

Haq memapah Ghani turun dari lori, Tengku Haizard, Ghaus dan Thomas mengheret turun artifak sebelum dibantu oleh pekerja disitu.

" Hi I'm Nicko Bruce, the owner of this palace." lelaki berkulit putih dan bermata biru itu.

" Haizard Mikhail." balasnya menyambut jabat tangan Nicko Bruce.

" Haizard Mikhail what a lovely name. I've heard a lot about you and I believe this is the first time we've met, nice to meet you."

" Nice to meet you too Mr. Bruce."

" How about your trip here? Sorry for the trouble you had to go through and don't worry I will pay compensation for your employee's injuries." ujar Nicko bila melihat Ghuas memapah Ghani.

" Glab to know, excuse me Mr. Bruce, I need to check my worker's condition and you can make a transaction with him." kata Tengku Haizard menunjuk pada Haq.

" Don't worry Mr. Haizard my personal assistant will take care of them, come let me show you my collections."

Nicko menarik tangan Tengku Haizard untuk masuk ke dalam istananya.

" Feel free to look around. Hahaha."ujar Nicko bangga dengan collections nya

Tengku Haizard mengeluh perlahan, dalam kepalanya sekarang hanya ingin cepat pulang.

Tidak selesa dengan badannya yang berpeluh dan baju yang dikotori dengan percikkan darah.

" This is my first collection, it cost 100 million dollars so I had to put in a lot of security. If you work with me I don't have to worry about thieves." ujar Nicko lagi.

" Now, I've been exhibiting my collection once every 2 years, and people are going around wanting to see my collection even though it's a little expensive. HAHAHAHA."

" Hmmm. Ha ha ha." balas Tengku Haizard.

" As you can see, that's my beloved tiger. And this is my worth's statue. I want you to touch it." Nicko menarik tangan Tengku Haizard untuk menyentuh patung emas itu.

Tetapi ditolak lembut oleh Tengku Haizard menarik semula tangannya perlahan.

Pesan Tengku Mikhail 'Don't touch other people's thing if not necessary'.

" Do you want to try to feed him?" ujar Nicko bila dia melihat Tengku Haizard tertarik dengan harimau peliharaannya itu.

" Sure." pekerja Nicko menyerahkan sekeping daging mentah iaitu makanan kesukaan haiwan peliharaannya itu pada Tengku Haizard.

Nicko menarik senyum sinis bila Tengku Haizard menghulur tangan masuk ke dalam sangkar itu.

" Be careful Mr. Haizard or he will bite you." pesan Nicko kerana dirinya tidak berani menyentuh haiwan pemangsa itu walaupun haiwan itu telah di kurung disitu selama 5 tahun.
