The Bodyguard's
Creatures in the Dark

Adriano came out of the room to coincide with Mia who was about to enter. “Honey? You're back?” asked Mia softly. His two palms cupped the handsome face of the husband.

“Yes, but it looks like I will go again,” Adriano replied full of regret.

“Where are you going?” mia asked again.

“I will take Carlo hunting for antiques,” replied Adriano while showing off a smile that always looks charming. “Do you want to come, Mia?” bargain later.

“Sure! Waita minute. I'll get ready,” said Miabella's mother looked very enthusiastic.

“Cause, Honey. No need to rush. I'm sure Carlo is also still busy doing something,” Adriano said with a meaningful smile.

However, in fact at that time Carlo was in Igor's room. The middle-aged man, who had just undergone treatment at the hospital, was seen sitting on the bed with his back resting on the head of the bed.

“Do you know where the antique shop is located around here?” carlo asked after a brief chat with the man he had considered to be his own father.

Igor did not answer. He thought for a moment before finally snapping a finger. “There, Sir. About twenty kilometers from here. Damir Bykov's shop,” he replied. “From the main gate of the palace, you simply take the path to the left until arriving at the city center. Bykov's antique shop is just north of the city meeting building,” the man continued. A moment later he grimaced slightly as he felt his neck ache. The cut on Igor's neck has not fully recovered.

“Alright, I'll remember. Thanks for the information. Happy resting.” Carlo patted Igor's shoulder slowly, then rushed out of Igor's room.

“Master!” call Igor quietly when Carlo is about to close the door.

“What's up, Igor?” The leader of the Red Wolf Clan turned his head again.

“I almost forgot to say something to you,” Igor said with a serious look. “When in Palermo, when there was an incident of kidnapping of young mistress ...." Igor paused for a moment, making Carlo raise next to an eyebrow while waiting for the continuation of the man's words.

"What's wrong?" ask Carlo curiously.

"At that time, I saw someone from the past,” continued Igor with a look of doubtful eyes.

“Someone from the past? Who do you mean?” Calro who felt anxious, then undo the intention to get out of the room. He walked closer to Igor's bed.

“Roderyk Lenkov, a close friend of the late Mr. Nikolai. However, since the collapse of the Soviet Union, they are no longer seen together,” Igor replied slightly explaining.

Charles was wide-eyed to hear the words of his confidant. “You know Roderyk Lenkov?” hissing slowly.

“Ya, Sir. We were quite familiar, as Mr. Lenkov himself often visited the Red Wolf Palace. He was friendly with Mr. Nikolai since they both studied at the Moscow City military school,” explained Igor.

“Oh alright. What about Piotr Rylov. Do you know him too?” ask Carlo again.

“I think I've heard that name. Apparently, he was also one of Mr. Nikolai's friends. However, I have never met him even once,” explained Igor.

“Good. Thank you, Igor. Rest now." Carlo nodded. He turned back and continued his intention to come out. However, again his steps came to a halt by the time he had reached the door. “For what Roderyk Lenkov was at Mr Marco's party? Which side is he on?” Charles turned back and faced Igor, frowning.

“That's what amazes me. He was among the group of colleagues of young mistress Miabella. If it is not wrong, Roderyk is among the followers of a man named Vlad Ignashevich,” Igor replied doubtfully.

“Vlad Ignashevich,” murmured Carlo. His mind was immediately fixed on the handsome man with blonde hair, and also had the same eye color as him. “Good. I go first, Igor," said Carlo. He then closed the door to Igor's room in a hurry.

Carlo's goal at the time was to meet Adriano. However, before going there he had to catch up with Miabella who was changing clothes in the room. Along with Carlo who was about to open the door of the room, at that time Miabella held her gagan.

“Carlo.”

“Come with me,” take Carlo. Without saying much, the man led Miabella's hand straight to Adriano's and Mia's room. However, not yet the brand arrived at the destination, Adriano had walked gallantly while wrapping his hands around the waist of the mother Miabella. The husband and wife who always looked friendly was walking towards the young couple

“Dad in-laws! We need to hurry to the antique shop. I already know the address,” Carlo said before Adriano had a chance to say something.

“I was also about to take you there,” Adriano said.

“Are you coming too, Mom?” miabella asked Mia.

“Yes. Adriano. I just happened to visit this city for the first time,” Mia said cheerfully.

“Alright then. We're leaving now,” take Carlo. The handsome man's sharp look was very serious. He then directed Miabella and her family towards the front yard of the luxury building. There is already waiting for one black SUV vehicle complete with the driver.

“Take us to the store Damir Bykov,” tell Carlo without further ado while informing the driver of his route. After that, he invited Adriano and Mia to get into the car. He got into the final vehicle after Miabella sat comfortably.

Within half an hour, they arrived at the antique shop in question. Carlo thought that they would go straight home after getting the desired item. However, in reality Miabella whines to take a walk around the city on the grounds that she wants to please Mia. Carlo had no choice but to obey his wife's wishes.

Without notice, they walk until the end of the night. Carlo decides to take his wife and in-laws to dinner at a famous restaurant. He did not need any special reservations as the restaurant was under the protection of the Red Wolf Clan. Luckily the atmosphere of the restaurant was not too crowded, so it was not difficult for Carlo to get a place for Miabella and her parents.

“Ivan says that the owner of this restaurant used to owe my late father a debt. However, father freed all the arrears,” explained Carlo without being asked.

“Hm. I love the atmosphere,”, Adriano said as he circulated the views to every corner of the classic-style restaurant.

“The food here is famous for being delicious, Dad,” said Carlo, along with a waiter who came to bring them a menu book.

After choosing a few meals, Carlo continued his story of typical Russian food. Of course Mia was very interested in hearing that. The middle-aged woman had more fondness for everything related to culinary and cuisine.

The four of them continued chatting while occasionally inserting jokes, until the arrival of dishes placed on the food trolley and looked very elegant. Dinner begins, and ends with a warm atmosphere.

After Carlo paid for all the orders, he invited everyone out of the restaurant to the car that had been waiting in the parking area. However, while at the exit, they were confronted by an old man whom Carlo had never seen before.

The man drew his face closer and began to sniff Carlo's body.

“Hei!” hardik Miabella while pulling the body of the husband away from the man who behaved strangely. “Who are you!” ketus tanyanya.

“You, Sir. You smell Wolf Cage,” he said quietly without caring about Miabella's question.

“What do you want, Old Man? Please step aside as we are about to pass,” reject Carlo with a polite tone of speech.

“Ah, you ..” The man stared fixedly at Carlo with teary eyes. “You are the last descendant of Nikolai Volkov.”

“You know my father?” Carlo frowned.

“Nobody does not know Mr. Nikolai in all corners of this city,” replied the old man confidently. “All have ever felt the kindness and generosity of your father, Sir,”.

“Thank God,” reply Carlo threw a very charming smile at the stranger. He intended to continue his steps towards the parking area, while continuing to direct both in-laws and Miabella to get into the vehicle immediately.

However, when it was his turn to enter, the unknown old man continued to follow. He pulled the back of Carlo's clothes, so Adriano reflexively was about to pull out a gun. Luckily, Mia immediately prevented that.

“From this second you must always be vigilant, sir," said the man. "The creatures that have been hiding in the darkness will not stop until you and the descendants of Volkov are exhausted.”
