203 A Debt To Pay (1/2)
”So, she has been training really hard?” Jeru probed as he watched Keira practice the hand-to-hand combat with a trainer. She was deeply committed. She was not only training herself to fight - she was training herself to win.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
Lieutenant Jiang sighed as he murmured, ”Yes, she's very determined. I heard from the janitor that there are a lot of photos of Leon and Draco hanging on the wall inside her room, and she would use them as practice targets for knife-throwing as well as for the firearms training at the shooting range…”
”Wait, are you back for good, General Liu?” asked Lieutenant Jiang as he turned his head to face Jeru.
Jeru chuckled and said, ”Of course not… But I will stay until we find Zach. I will help Keira find him.” Lieutenant Jiang nodded and Jeru shifted his gaze back at Keira.
He stood with his arms over his chest and creased his forehead at the sight of Keira focusing on her training and not even noticing that he had been observing her…'Lucky bastard! You had better be alive...' he thought silently. He couldn't help but feel envious of Zach, who was very lucky to have Keira in his life. She was a woman who would do anything for the man she loved. She would never give up on Zach and would give everything of herself just to find him…
His thoughts were interrupted by the sudden ringing of his phone and his eyebrows knitted together when he saw that it was Thea.
”Yes?” he answered the call.
”Hey… I'm sorry… It would be a bit awkward if I called Keira to ask for news on Zach. Do you mind if I ask you instead? I also want to help… I mean I can be a big help. You can use me as a bait to lure Leon out...” Thea murmured on the other line of the phone.
”Where are you now? Let's meet and talk in person…” Jeru said in a serious tone that made Thea bite her lip. She was already at her office.
Ever since the incident, Thea and Jeru hadn't seen each other. Thea was kept hidden in a safe house on the outskirts of the City out of fear of potential retribution and dangers by Leon. She was just released yesterday and the first thing she did was to report for work.
Leon's face as well as Draco's were all over the media, whereas Chin's and Thea's identity as the key witnesses to all of Leon's crimes had been kept tightly under wraps. Leon was one of the most wanted criminals in the world, but Thea was sure that catching him would not be an easy feat due to his wide and vast connections overseas.
After work, Thea waited for Jeru who had just arrived to pick her up.
”Where are we going?” Thea asked when they were inside the car.
