Chapter 406 - Four Hundred And Six: Miguel Doesnt Know Whats Coming For Him. (2/2)

”Yes, that Gerald. His brother Miguel must have been abroad when we cleaned up the gang which is why we missed him,” The giant explained.

”And now, he's back to avenge the death of his brother,” Niklaus figured out, ”Reina must have been the target at the hospital but Angela saw the attacker on time and took the bullet in her place,”

”He knows how much you love your daughter so he wants to hurt you where it hurts the most - just like you took his brother,” Emerald contributed.

But then, Miguel successfully hurt Sakuzi in one of the places it hurt the most. Although Angela was certain to die and he had made peace with that, it would have been a painless and peaceful death for her instead of being ridden with bullets. Now, this was an insult to his face; they killed his first love.

”It wasn't until this incident that I realized that Miguel has been secretly trying to resurrect his brother's gang. Also, there was something strange about his men we caught,”

”What is it?” Niklaus asked.

”The shooter had many chances of escaping yet he intentionally fell into our hands,” Emerald laid bare his finding.

”He's taunting me,” said Sakuzi. His voice was rigid and the smoke from the cigarette held in between his fingers swirled around his expression, giving him a mysterious atmosphere,” Miguel wants me to come get him, ”

”We'd get him then, ” Reina decided determinedly.

Niklaus wanted to say something but decided against it. He would let her be active in the meeting, but there was no way in hell he's letting her near that madman especially when she's a target.

”But that would be after we return Angela to earth, let the woman rest in peace before getting our hands bloody - show respect to the dead,” Nadia said, earning a look of surprise from Sakuzi.

Unknown to Sakuzi, that simple emotion from him warmed Nadia's heart. The man was so stiff and aloof since he received the news of Angela's death that it seemed winter came early. So that surprised face showed her he was still capable of feelings.

Sakuzi didn't mean to hurt her, but Nadia wouldn't understand him right now, rather she would become jealous - that was women's nature - so he chose to remain detached - that way he wouldn't be bothered.

But when Nadia made that comment, his view of her changed. She was trying to understand him? Sakuzi exhaled deeply and tossed the cigarette into the ashtray - he hated smoking anyway - and took Nadia's hands.

He saw the way her face filled with surprise at the movement and then she smiled at him. He smiled back too. Maybe it was better to draw strength from her than to wallow in grief.

Although Sakuzi said he felt nothing for Angela, that was a blatant lie, one-third of his heart would always be open for her - that was the power of first love.

However, he would open up the rest of his heart for Nadia to occupy now. It was time to move on - which he would do after bringing Angela's murderers to the same fate. It was blood for blood. The land would not judge him: he had killed Gerald for touching his daughter. Protecting one another was the Sakuzi Clan code. They would live and kill for that.

Miguel doesn't know what's coming for him.
