A few hours earlier
"Trust me, I will kill any man who tries to get close to or touch you!"
"You have to let me let you go....? (You let me let you go)?"
"Take care of yourself, Sweetheart."
The video footage was repeatedly played, the three men in the workroom just threw views at each other, until the duration of the video on the iPad ended. Where can the video be in their hands? Of course the culprit is Veronica, with the threat posed by Darren, the woman has no choice but to record Mikel's encounter with Elie. Arthur had predicted Mikel's arrival at Veronica's apartment, thus loosening surveillance there so Mikel could easily meet Elie.
"See? She's completely unchanged and mean it with Elie, Son. Want to let them stay together?" The handsome and still dashing middle-aged man sat leaning his back against the back of the sofa. His gaze did not move from his son who seemed silent for a moment. "You're angry that he's hiding everything from you? Of all of us?" he added that he was looking for the son who still had not given any response.
"I'm not mad Dad. He definitely had a reason not to tell her everything he was going through. But that pisses me off because he insisted on approaching Elie without thinking and could endanger Elie's life" Arthur recalled. For the first time Arthur spoke more than a few words.
"I know and I understand. I was also upset with him because he was so careless. I don't want my daughter to get hurt and see her fail to protect Elie from over-focusing on Mateo's whereabouts." Xavier agrees with Arthur. "Do you forget that Mike doesn't like to get into fights in the first place, he always avoids violence. But all this time he had experienced something terrible and faced it alone. That's why you have to help him Son, for the sake of my good friends Matt and Aprille. You must avenge the deaths of my two best friends." As a friend, Xavier was completely unacceptable. But he always remembered his promise to Elleana not to return to the underworld, so inevitably he let Mikel and Arthur avenge their deaths.
"Without you telling me to, I'll do it Dad. Darren and I have already told some of the guys to follow him and at the moment they are saying that Mike is in Amsterdam and he is going to Russia" he said. "And Dad knows that even though Mike is very good at doing business, but he is really stupid to strategize like this. Just look at how we can tell if Mikel and Mike are the same guy."
"Yes, ever since I met her in the hospital, I've recognized her as well. Although his face changed, but the eyes will never be able to deceive and Mike has the same eyes as Matt," said Xavier. He was already familiar with the figure of Mikel during their first meeting in the hospital. Mikel had always avoided eye contact with her despite the man's extremely calm nature, but nothing could be missed by her observations.
"You're right Dad." Arthur agreed. He had long suspected Mikel, because there was no Mikel identity that he got. Darren has trouble finding out information about the man and suspicion grows stronger when they help Elie while being humiliated by Carmela at the woman's party. And that's why they've been trying to dig up information and always watching Mikel's movements. Over time, their belief grew that Mikel was none other than Mike when Arthur received a report from the men if Mikel was in the hospital and the nurse said that the man was an older brother from a patient named Meisha Jhonson. Arthur, Xavier and Darren match Mikel's similarities with Mike's. Sure enough, they find the answer they hope that Mikel and Mike are the same man. Ever since learning of Mikel's true identity, Arthur has not acted decisively to Mikel, only snapping the man away from Elie and he just wants to keep them away for a while not for good. If it was any other man, Arthur would really make anyone the man who wanted Elie step back and disappear as far as possible.
Xavier nodded his head. He always liked the same way Arthur did when he was young. He recalled performing a play to see Nico's true love for his sister Jennifer and wanted to ascertain how much they wanted to be together. And now Arthur did as he did back then, remembering that Xavier chuckled in his heart. While Darren sat still, he had been a good listener and occasionally said if involved in the conversation father and son.
Suddenly Darren's phone rang, the man immediately answered the call so as not to disturb Arthur and Xavier who were still engaged in conversation. And Darren's shock hearing the report on the other end of the phone caught Arthur and Xavier's attention. Both are compact to see and demand an explanation from Darren.
"What happened, Der?" Arthur asked after Darren cut off the phone.
"It turns out that Mocro and Loz Zetas are working together to eliminate Mike and his followers" Darren said. "And all this time Todd who is the chairman of Mocro tried to escape from the police pursuit, so now this case is delegated to the military."
"Since Todd was sneaky, I have often warned Matt to be careful with him. And it's proven that the guy took out Matt and Aprille." Xavier chimed in, he had heard a lot about Matthew's half-brother. It's just that fate doesn't side with Matthew and Aprille, so both must be killed at Todd's hands.
"Barren and I will catch up with him, Dad!" arthur suddenly. Honestly, he was worried about his childhood friend.
"Yes, you have to go there, Son. Only you can help him. But don't get involved with military people" Xavier suggested. It will be very difficult to deal with the military, although Xavier clearly knows that the Black Lion has never entered the blackbook of the police or military. Because Black Lion has helped Louis and Pier a lot in solving some crimes that cannot be touched by people like them.
"I will avoid that" he said. After all, they will not arouse the suspicion of the Russian military. His arrival was only purely for business meetings.
Xavier nodded, entrusting everything to Arthur. "Now you go before the day begins."
"I have to tell my wife first, Dad."
"Ah, I forgot that you already have a wife."
"Yes, because all Dad remembers is your wife!" arthur looked at Daddy Xavier whose expression mocked him.
"Hey, my wife is your Mommy." Xavier shook his head in wonder. Had the son forgotten that his wife was the woman who had given birth to the man before him.
Xavier chuckled at Arthur's annoyed face as it passed. While Darren boasted, he had just received a message from a woman who had just received a threat yesterday.
***
Arthur had just entered the room, but he did not find Helena's whereabouts inside. He looked in the bathroom and did not find his wife. Arthur decides to search downstairs, perhaps Helena along with Mommy Elleana. But her steps were stopped when she had just opened the door, coinciding with Helena standing in front of the door, about to open the door of the room.
"Where are you from?" Arthur then led the woman to the sofa and sat her there.
"I was tired of being in my room, so I went to see Mommy" she said, smiling. I don't know since when Helena always liked every attention given by Arthur.
Arthur nodded, thank God Helena began to blend back in and did not see any fear on her face. "I have to go to Russia. There's a business meeting there."
Helena's curved lips slowly formed a thin line. Somehow every time Arthur would go he always felt something was missing. Helena looked down, she didn't want Arthur to go anywhere.
"I won't be long." Arthur lifted Helena's chin, staring fixedly at her face.
"What's so important? Can't it be replaced by Darren or anyone else?" helena expressed her disappointment.
Arthur shook his head. "I'm supposed to go there" he said. Arthur could not tell Helena the truth because it would only add to the burden of the woman's mind.
"I'm afraid to sleep alone" she examined Arthur's handsome face, although Arthur had now cut his hair, but did not reduce the level of good looks of her husband.
"You can sleep in Elie's room. I'll tell him to accompany you."
"really?"
Arthur nodded, though Elie still did not speak to him due to the events of a few days ago. But Elie did not silence Helena, even these days Elie and Helena look closer than ever.
"But before I go I have to get my ammo first."
"Amunitions?" Helena's two eyebrows were confused.
Lazy to explain, Arthur immediately lifted Helena's body and sat her on his lap. "I want you" he whispered later. And without wasting any more time, Arthur immediately grabbed Helena's lips, making the woman gasp but seconds return Arthur's kiss. The desire of the two is passionate and so desire each other, that their hot romance begins a sunny morning.
