Bugs

Chap 22

Kyouhei's POV

I dipped my aching body in the hot water tub and tried to relax. I can't help but stammer and get tensed whenever they welcome me in their casual atmosphere. I'm not used to act casually around them. I've grown up being told to respect them and to never level myself with them and yet—man.

It was just this early morning when I got awoken from my sleep when I heard Dalwyn-sama shouting in anger. I quickly grabbed my katana and rushed out of the room. My master is shouting in anger still on his sleeping clothes as he points the man running down the grand staircase.

"Agent Ken! Retrieve my ring at once. Do whatever it takes even if it costs him his life!" he bellowed with the monstrous raspy deep voice he has. I jumped off from the second floor and maneuvered my safe landing using the large pillars as my trampouline. The guards who came late threw their guns on me which I caught in midair. I aimed but the man is already far from me. Who would've known that scumbag runs as fast as he turns the wheels of my master's car? I may have shorter legs but I run faster. The moment I got close enough, he fired the damned gun he's been hiding under his coat.

He keeps throwing anything to me trying to create obstacles to slow me down but I felt like I was just playing hurdles. The tag got harder when the man was able to get into a cab but I managed to put a tracker on that guy's pants. I looked around for a ride and the nearest is a motorcycle with the key on it, I then found its owner taking a piss at the corner. I grabbed some dollars in my pocket and left it at the place where the motorcycle is parked.

The moment the motorcycle made its noise the owner turned around fastening his zipper. "I'm buying it!" I shouted and pointed the envelope at his feet as I'm already driving away. The owner shouted something like 'thank you' and hoots in joy. Strange man. The tank is full, I can go all out. I activated my hologram tracker which is also a receiver and transmitter placed behind my ear. Basing on the track he's taking, he's heading for the airport. I raced my way on a shortcut I know. Though reckless, but I could get there in time.

The moment I got to the airport, he's already at the bridge into a plane. I drove the motorcycle outside and saw the huge printing at the side of the plane. I called my master. "He's heading to your son. The plane is already on the lift off. I understand" I hanged up and headed to the private runway owned by the family and got into the private jet which will get me to the Philippines.

While waiting, I ran a search about the man and found out he's from the Adams', a high ranking man to be exact. No wonder he can pull all his acts together not to make us suspicious. But what about the ring? Yes it does bring great fortune to anyone who gets his hands on it but what would it matter to the Adams? They might be thinking that there's something on the ring that will give them the answer to whatever they're pondering right now. I stopped moving when my legs gave me a shot of pain. I immediately stretched my legs to alleviate the pain. They're cramping, obviously from the sprint without even a start-up.

"Should we go ahead of the plane?" the pilot asked through the speaker installed in the lounge. "There's no need, just tail them. Who would know if he jumps out of the plane like a mad man and get the ring lost? Dalwyn-sama would be very furious he'll execute us himself" I told him jokingly but we both know it's not impossible. I felt the pilot got tensed before he answered okay.

"We're nearing the runway" the pilot said. "Touch down before they do at the private runway. I don't want him disappearing before I could set my eyes on him". "On it". I stood up and took my overall metallic suit which would resist any bullet or blade and topped it with regular clothes. I jumped off the jet with the motorcycle the moment it slowed down. "Show off" the pilot said through my receiver. "Oh just wait for me to get back, just relax for a while" I told him flatly and rode off towards the ramp and waited for my target to come out.
