My Fervor's Return
49 Eps. Saving Arin

Nightfall...

A'C Company's...

The office hours were over, all the workers were getting ready to go home. Arin chose overtime for today, so it would be too late to go home.

Finally Arin was relieved after finishing the work that made him today very upset.

How not, he's doing his job with people like the fridge he thinks. Usually he is in his room can enjoy because there are colleagues, but not for today.

"You done yet?" Ask Liam.

"Hmmm.." said Arin with deheman.

"Who are you going home with?" Ask again.

"Self," he wrote while tidying the files in front of him.

"Let me drive you" Liam bargained. Arin turned to Liam.

"Why?" Ask Liam again.

"It's okay. No need to bother driving me, I just go home alone," replied Arin.

"But it's been very night, it seems like the streets are starting to get quiet" Liam said.

"No, I ordered a taxi" Arin said.

Arin breezed out of the room just like that after finishing her work. He immediately returned to his house using the taxi he had ordered earlier.

"Pak stopped at the supermarket ahead there, sir," said Arin.

Before returning home he wanted to stop by the supermarket to buy his home needs that had begun to run out.

"Well miss," replied the driver sidelining his cab.

"This is sir, thank you, yes" said Arin paid the taxi bkaya.

"Is there no money for you?"

"Take the change sir," said Arin then out of the taxi to the supermarket.

Arriving inside Arin took the basket and immediately picked up the items and necessities he was looking for.

Finished choosing groceries, he immediately went to the cashier and paid for them. In the sense that everything was finished he walked towards his home.

Arin's house and supermarket are not far, the distance is about 500 meters, Arin decided to cross the shortcut to his house to quickly arrive. He passed through an alley that had begun to quiet at this time, because it was almost late at night.

That night there were some thugs standing by there.

"It looks like there's a victim" said one of the thugs there.

'Douh.. why tonight is so apes ya' Inner Arin. He just kept passing by without bothering the thugs. The thug also felt challenged to see Arin's indifferent attitude.

"Hi miss. don't hurry," said the thug blocking Arin's path.

"I have nothing to do with you guys" Arin said.

"Hahaha, you're so brave, miss," said one of the thugs.

Arin starts to keep watch for himself, though he bars he is also afraid if he is dealing with some thugs at the moment.

The thug blocked Arin's hand, "let me go. Don't touch me" Arin said, but his strength is still inferior to those thugs.

"Hahaha.don't be afraid miss. We're not evil, hahaha," laughs the thug friend.

"Toloooong," cried Arin with his firmness. But the result was nil, not a single person who was in the alley.

"Sstt. Their kasian if they wake up to hear your screams" said one of them.

"Tolooong.. release me," cried Arin again.

The thugs started dragging Arin roughly.

"Let go" said Arin rebelled.

"Shut up and follow us," the thug jolted still dragging Arin violently.

"Tolooong," cried Arin getting louder.

Buggh...

From behind someone kicked the back of the thugs.

The thugs fell down because of the kick from that man.

"Who are you, huh?" Snatch from one of the thugs' friends.

Arin looked back, he saw who had made the thug fall down.

"Master Li," Arin murmured softly.

The one who helped Arin was Liam. Since he was trailing Arin, he did not have the heart to let women go home alone on this late day. He also wants to make sure that Arin gets home safely.

"It has nothing to do with you, he is my prey" replied the thug.

Those who got the kick earlier immediately got up to fight Liam.

Bugh...

The blow was aimed at Liam, but it was small for Liam. He always deflects blows from the thugs.

"Nobody you are," the thug growled as he pulled out a dagger from his pocket.

Arin widened his eyes seeing that.

"Mr Li. Careful" cried Arin.

Liam was still able to dodge with the attacks of those thugs. Then Liam started to pull out the gun in his suit pocket and aimed at the thug's feet.

Doorr...

They immediately fell.

Arin could only watch that, this was not his first time. He had also seen something like this at the reunion.

"Aaarrkkk," they screamed after getting a shot from Liam.

"Go or this bullet will go through your head" Liam said as he attached the muzzle of his gun to the head of one of the thugs.

They were terrified and chose to run with limped footsteps to endure the pain of a bullet fired by Liam.

"You okay?" Liam asked to see that Arin was still dumbfounded.

"Eehh. ah. Thank you for helping me," said Arin slightly stammered.

Arin also took his groceries that had fallen earlier.

"Let me drive you to the front of the house" said Liam. This time Arin complied without protesting.

Finally they got to the front of the house, "you didn't stop by Mr Li first?" Ask Arin.

"Other times, miss, it's late. I don't want any misunderstandings later, I say goodbye. Go in first, don't forget to lock the door" Liam said.

"Once again thank you Mr. Li," said Arin who was nod by Liam. Arin went inside the house and locked the door.

After Arin entered, Liam rushed to his car and went home to the headquarters.

***

Today coincides with Sunday. In accordance with his promise yesterday, Rere today will go to the headquarters discussing a serious matter.

"Today I'm going to base, Rey," Rere told Rey.

"What's wrong? Is there anything serious?" Ask Rey.

"Don't you remember when Daniel came here to talk about Nicky, Jack's brother who held you hostage?" Rey tried to remember what Rere said.

"If it was Jack I could never forget" he replied, recalling the events of a few years ago.

"I'll be with ya? I want to practice with them" Rey said.

"Okay well," Rere replied then prepared.

The Lion's Headquarters...

Rere got out of his car while carrying Celo. Rere wants to introduce his son to all his men so they know how Celo faces, so that someday if anything happens to Celo outside Rere's men know if it's Celo.

"Mama... whose house is this? Why so many?" Celo asked, looking around. Because it was the first time Celo was brought to the headquarters.

"This is where mom and dad work out, baby. Here uncle Daniel is guarding him" Rere said.

"Pulunkan me mama," said Celo. Rere simply obeyed Celo's will and immediately went inside followed by Rey behind him.

Celo ran inside, Daniel and Agnes were waiting. For Liam, don't ask me again. He is in the company at the moment.

"Haaii. uncle," said Celo to see Daniel sleeping on the sofa.

"Haii hotshot, you alone?" Daniel rose from his sleep.

"No uncle, Celo and mama papa," he replied.

"You're already here apparently Nes," Rere said, seeing that Agnes was already there. Rere then sat himself down followed by Rey beside him.

"I'm here, boss, right now" he replied.

"How, Niel?" Ask Rere to the point.

"According to the guy we sent there, Nicky arrived here yesterday. He just built his base here, too" Daniel explained.

"And I told one of our members to infiltrate his base here" Daniel continued.

"It's good that you have him watching the man's every move" Rere ordered.

"Strictly all my family members, just put a shadow guard. If anything suspicious, just finish them off," Rere added with a cold aura.
