Chapter 754 - Seven Hundred And Fifty-four: Being Killed By Niklaus (1/2)

The third point of view:

”Thank you for coming,” Niklaus welcomed Sakuzi, however his gaze couldn't help but scan the number of security guards he came with. If they weren't family members, he would have thought Sakuzi was here for vengeance or something.

But Sakuzi smiled at him, ”Don't mind them, I'm just trying to ensure that no one gets kidnapped,”

”Kidnapped?” Niklaus' body language changed at that comment.

”We didn't have time to speak but just a few days ago, I had a snitch amongst my people and for some reason, I can't help thinking that we have a new enemy in town. According to investigations, I wasn't the target but we had a bit of loss on our side and if our target had escaped, you might have shared on the loss by now, ” He hinted at Reina since most of their enemies tend to go after their loved ones when they fail.

Sakuzi went on, ”Investigation is still ongoing to find out who that snitch was working for. Although there might be no evidence to support what I said, there's always a need to be careful especially on big events like this one,”

Niklaus was disturbed by that news, Sakuzi was a man who thought things thoroughly before making a move. If he thought something was wrong, something must be wrong.

”Thank you for your help. I'll ask my men to keep an eye out as well,”

”It's nothing,” Sakuzi shrugged, ”That rascal might not be my biological daughter but she's rubbed off on me already and I'll do everything to protect her as I would my own. Moreover, Reina loves her as her child, which makes her one of us,”

”Fine,” Niklaus was still in the middle of thanking him when a collective gasp came from the crowd and he turned with a frown. What's going on?

”You must be happy,” Emerald said from behind, nearly startling Pedro that barely had a breathing space from a group of well-wishers that had milked every detail of his history with Isabella. The fact alone that they dated for twelve years amazed people the more, it was hard to see such a lasting relationship now.

”Yes, I am. It's even more unrealistic that we tie the knot tomorrow,” Pedro breathed.

”That's the feeling, son,” Pedro agreed, ”You're even much better than I am. If I had a rehearsal dinner during my time with your mother, I'm sure I would have died from nervousness,” the both of them laughed at the joke.

”I'm no better. The thought that Isabella would skin me alive if I mess up is what's keeping me going,” He confessed to Emerald who nodded.

”Isabella loves you, you love her and you've both proven that you can live together without tearing each other apart. So I wish you both good luck, ”Emerald blessed him.

”Thank you so much,” Pedro added with a smile, ”Father,”

Emerald smiled back when he suddenly remembered, ”Also the only advice I have for you is to never argue with women, that is if you want peace. They're always right,” He winked at him.
