EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 318's

...

“They threatened you?” The other man asked seriously, staring at us alternately ferociously.

I glanced at Dika, nodded at her and this man immediately released his grip on Andika.

“Good Andika. We'll check the information you've provided. If so, we will leave here, your friend is waiting.” I glanced at the hordes of men, “and we will go to see my husband and other members of the army in front.” I said, , deliberately suppressing every word for them to hear it as well.

Andika looked at me still timidly, she nodded. I no longer said anything to him or to his friends, and invited Dika and Lucy to leave immediately with a nod.

With quiet and indifferent steps, the three of us turned to go back down the turn road earlier, but the noise of footsteps from behind rang out, until they came in front of us quickly, blocking the way.

My heart beats very fast against these six men. I don't want any fights.

“Wait!! You can't just leave.”

“Didn't you just hear what madam said? Mr. Jeremy and his army members are waiting for us in front.” Lucy took a bold step towards them.

“Jeremy?”

“He said Jeremy?”

“Not that's milter's family name?”

They started asking each other confusedly, and there was a doubt on their faces to block us, but the man who spoke first just kept looking at me.

“You're from Jeremy's family? You lied!!”

“If you don't believe me, you can take me to the man who told Andika to follow me today. What was his name? Alex?” These six men looked at me somewhat in shock and ended up glancing at Andika who was still standing behind me.

“You want to meet Alex?”

“Of course! Why not.”

You idiot!

My mouth could not stop to dare to answer.

My head thought of all sorts of ways to be able to leave immediately, but I couldn't bear to be afraid and wanted to look confident.

On the other hand, I also want to know who Alex is and what he wants by following me.

“If you want to meet Alex, come with me, let them both here.” Answer the man with a small grin.

“Can't!! We have to come!” Lucy stood in my way.

“Alex just wants to meet you.” Said the man still with his grin that I somehow felt a bad feeling.

He glanced behind my back, my reflexes pushing Lucy and myself immediately dodging to the left side.

“Huh, so, why do you have such good reflexes. You hear my voice?” The man, Andika, had a very cold and violent look on his face, in contrast to his nervous and frightened expression.

His right hand was grasping a folding knife, he looked like someone else. But a conjecture flashed through my head, “you Alex??”

Andika smiled small, “Andika and Alex are just my other names.”

“You guys are too stupid, oh no!” he glanced at me and pointed at me with his knife, “you are a fool for believing in my sister's story waiting at home. You know, there's a term that says that the difference between stupid and good is very thin.” he mocked me.

Lucy and Dika immediately stood before me to protect me. Now that their posture was ready for a fight, especially Lucy who had taken out a short black stick from her pocket, after she had swung, the stick extended to more than sixty inches. The weapon he always carries besides a gun.

I tried that stick once, it hurt to get hit.

Dika put an earphone in his left ear that I was not aware of when he took out the object, then there was a slow click sound sign that the object was active, followed by a voice whispered, “Report! The siege took place behind the flowertop pastry shop, into the 7 aisle turn, west of barber Pak Kido. Siege by seven people, chances are others will come.”

“Stop him!” Andika shouted frantically seeing Dika, the six men suddenly moved forward and Lucy bravely advanced first, she hit and dodged their blows.

I didn't have time to admire all of Lucy's fluid-looking, well-trained and powerful moves for a woman's size, everything happened so quickly that Lucy managed to scare the six men with a stick in her hand.

Dika who was still standing in front of me did not move in the slightest, she looked at Andika coldly as if she was ready to accept any attack.

“So right, you're Alex, the man the police have been looking for for a lot of illegal transactions.” Mumbled.

Andika clenched her hands tightly, she obviously wanted to approach me, but seeing Dika who was in front of me, this man looked scared.

“Hah! I knew! I should have listened to the broker's words back then.” He chuckled, his eyes frustrated, “if the two people who accompanied Natasha Icha Danendra in this city were two trained and great bodyguards. It was only fitting that the people I sent to kidnap her could never get close in the slightest, and even the ones who were targeted were unaware that anyone was following her. Really great!” he clapped his hands at Dika.

They did a great job! My level of respect for Dika and Lucy goes up even higher.

Dika did not say anything, she just looked at Andika vigilantly. This man before us still gave off his cruel aura when he did not dare to approach me because of Dika, I could see he was hesitant for a moment but he just suddenly ran over, just like that, with his right hand grasping tightly the folding knife lunged at Dika.

I held my breath as soon as these two men faced each other and started fighting. My heart went down to my stomach, the nausea I felt made me panic.

But I realized what I should do, I immediately pulled out my phone and immediately contacted Bayu, the first person I thought of.

My hands were shaking slowly and my breath was thinning. Bad things started to happen to me, the more I panicked was that I didn't want to until Lucy and Dika got hurt.

I have to find help---

BRUUKK

It was painful when I was pushed hard against the wall behind my back, my gaze was instantly blurry and I coughed a little. I immediately fell to my seat and tried to endure the small sting.

I was about to get angry and reply to whoever pushed me, but it turned out that Dika had already gotten rid of the man. Now that they're both trying to keep me closer, still fighting, they're not letting anyone get near me.

My hands clenched tightly, I never asked to be in the middle of any of this matter, which was important now, the three of us had to flee immediately.

So I quickly stood up, seeing that there was scrap near us, I immediately picked it up and started to help Lucy beat back the men she was dealing with.

“Go there!! Stupid!!”
