Chapter 260 - Handsome Beauty (1/2)
Somewhere in country C…
Earlier, when Hinari fell asleep, Zaki moved her in a comfortable position and laid her head on his lap as the car continued speeding.
Mr. Leader was quietly watching him in the rearview mirror and he was somewhat surprised on how he treats the girl. He knew their second boss, Zaki, for almost five years now. They even spar a few times before during trainings so he knew just how terrifying he was. He could hardly imagine that this man would care for another human beside their boss like this. Even though his expression was same as usual, the simple gesture he did was enough for Mr. Leader to realize that the girl was not just anybody to him.
”Boss… actually, while we were waiting inside, this girl came in with someone. She seemed to be her friend but I saw that young woman put a drug in her glass. Thankfully, she seemed smart enough to notice that something was strange in her drink so she pretended to be drinking it. I believe that woman was planning something.” The man said and Zaki's brows immediately knitted. He glanced at the girl on his lap before he took his cellphone out.
Zaki asked someone to investigate on why she's in the country and after an hour, he received a call. Hinari was still sleeping on his lap.
”Boss, tonight is Miss Zuzuki Hinari's engagement party.” The man on the other side of the phone said and Zaki's forehead immediately creased.
”What did you say?” He asked. His voice suddenly turned cold that the man calling could only tell him every information he gathered in one go.
”We found footage that some bodyguards forced her into a plane in country H. And upon her arrival in Country C, they brought her to a hotel owned by Yang Corporation. Her father wants an alliance with the Yangs so he wanted his daughter to marry the Yang's youngest son but Miss Hinari escaped before the party could start.” The man said and for some reason, Zaki's face darkened.
”Check out what happened with her grandfather and find out who the girl she was with in that bar.” He ordered before he ended the call. Zaki was angered with the news. He glared at the girl on his lap and he wanted to wake her up and ask her what was going on.
Unable to stay still, he dialed his grandfather's number.
”Hello? And what is the reason why this ungrateful grandchild of mine voluntarily called me this time?” the old man said and Zaki immediately replied.
”Grandpa, what happened to my engagement with Miss Zuzuki?” he asked. His voice was calm but impatient and curiosity was obviously noticeable in his tone.
”Sigh… my friend isn't waking up. He told me that the engagement between you and her granddaughter is still a secret. And we both planned to announce it during her birthday. But because of the unfortunate event, the announcement didn't happen.” The old man explained as he sounded so downhearted.
”I am planning to celebrate your engagement when he wakes up. Anyway, why are you asking?” he asked and Zaki shifted his gaze towards the window.
”Nothing important, I'm just curious.”
”Oho... now this is rare my unromantic grandchild. Are you finally being impatient to marry her? Don't worry, don't worry, I'll do something to make sure this will happen. I'm going to visit my friend today and talk to her family...”
”Grandpa, I'm hanging up. I'm in the middle of a mission.” He replied and he immediately ended the call.
Time passed and he received another call.
”Boss, the girl was her cousin. We found out that she drugged her drink before leaving her in the bar.” He reported and Zaki was even angrier. He ended the call and he cracked his neck.
He couldn't believe that the people who were doing this to her were her very own family.
That moment, Zaki felt a feeling of rage in his heart and he felt like he wanted some action to express his sudden urge to beat someone.
'Damn, this is making me so angry.' He uttered to himself when Mr. Leader spoke.
