The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapter 114
Xavier just nodded slowly. Xavier then glanced at some people not far from him. Seeing faces with familiar shapes among American-faced people.
"I'm deeply saddened by your aunt's death" the man said, welcoming Xavier.
"Thank you" said Xavier. He glanced back at the few people who seemed to be looking at the scene of the crime. In addition to her Asian-looking face, the presence of the only woman there attracted her. "Who are they?"
"One of the investigation teams. Professor Callahan is one of the experts who often works with the FBI and others I think is his team" said the man looking at Professor Callahan's team.
Xavier continued to look towards Graciella and her team with a sharp gaze and started to narrow her eyes. The gaze was captured by Graciella, at which point Xavier cast his gaze away.
"I want a better team of investigators" Xavier told the man in his native tongue.
Graciella who was using special equipment to investigate the scene of the crime immediately frowned. A better team? are they not good for him?
The recently finished Graciella buttoned up a special suit and also put on her gloves immediately walked towards the man who now seemed to be turning his back on Graciella.
“Graciella, what do you want to do?” asked Bruce who saw Graciella away but immediately silent when he saw Graciella giving gestures as if asking for a moment.
Graceilla continued walking towards the man who was talking to the man who had greeted her. When it was right behind the man, Graciella frowned and found the man very tall. Much higher than himself. The scent Graciella could smell was vague but familiar enough. Uh! Many people have the same smell. Maybe Graciella kissed him somewhere.
Graciella thoughtlessly slapped Xavier's shoulder firmly. Bruce who had seen his friend was shocked to open his mouth. How could Graciella do that?
The man immediately stopped talking. He slowly looked towards the shoulder clap it came from. He then looked towards Graciella who was looking at him seriously. There was no smile or face that adorned Graciella. For what is friendly with that first impression for Graciella is arrogant.
“Do you feel we are not the best team?” ask Graciella in her native language. That certainly made Xavier wrinkle his face. He was quite surprised because this woman understood what he was saying. The faces of Asia are certainly a lot alike. He may be from a country of the same race. But, even though this tiny little lady standing in front of him was looking at him quite cynically. Xavier had no regrets about what he said.
“You dare to touch me?” xavier asked in a cold and flat tone, no one had done this to Xavier before. The look of his sharp eyes instantly drew towards Graciella. Too bad, Graciella was already immune to such a gaze. A lot is obtained when he solves a case and the perpetrators will look at Graciella with a murderous gaze like that.
Graciella frowned. Besides being arrogant this man was also very arrogant. “Sure, why should I be afraid of touching you? You are human too, right? a Maybe in your country, you are a General. But this is not your country. You should have a little respect for what goes on here.” Graciella looked straight into the man's eyes. Got such a beautiful eyeball, but it had no effect at all. This guy has pissed him off.
Xavier narrowed his eyes looking at the woman who had dared to say that to him. All this time no one dared to say or even look at her like this woman did. General Xavier, anyone knows this man is cold and fierce.
“Then what do you want? Do you feel your best?” xavier asked in an equally cold tone.
Graciella snorted with a bit of roughness. “I don't feel like being the best.” Is he like this guy? How rogan? Graciella's heart was at the same time as what she said. “But we always strive to handle a case in the best way.”
“Employment alone is not enough.” Xavier is back. Bruce who was not far from them was just scratching his head. I don't understand what the two of them are saying.
Graciella moved her jaw. Besides being arrogant, arrogant, it turns out that men are also very annoying. Uh! What dream did Graceilla meet this kind of person? Those who feel they have power are always annoying.
“Three days!” graciella said as she thrust her three fingers towards Xavier's face. Let it be said to be impolite, but this man first has no manners. Xavier who got three fingers in front of his face frowned. “Three days we will reveal all these cases!”
Xavier just silently looked at the woman with a very bold and slightly disturbing style according to Xavier.
Graciella clasped her hands tightly. This guy! Uh! He can't lose to her! This shitty guy really should be given a little lesson. You can't underestimate anyone. Graciella has a hunch. It seems to have something to do with her that she is a woman.
“Two days!” graciella said again feeling challenged. He's not just arrogant. He didn't like the way this guy looked at him. Too demeaning.
Xavier scrunched his forehead deeper. A woman who has the courage to challenge herself.
“Graciella, Professor Callahan already wants to start his investigation,” said Bruce who felt the talk of Graciella and this man was no good. Although he did not understand the language but Bruce knew Graciella was upset from her tone.
“Shortly,” pinta Graciella. “Two days we will reveal this case, if we succeed, please do not demean someone, especially if she is a woman.”
Xavier nodded once, “If you fail?”
“I'll stop being an investigator!” said Graciella who quite original talk. Where could he have done that. What about Daren? If she knew, Graciella risked everything she had given just for the sake of a stupid bet with this man. Daren will be angry too. But, how? The promise has been said.
Xavier raised his eyebrows. “Bold enough bets.”
Bruce who was beside Graciella felt that something was wrong. “Graciella, what are you saying?”
“He told me, you guys will solve this case in two days, if he loses, he will stop being an investigator, he will,” said Xavier with a sarcastic tone so that Bruce understood the foolish but also brave actions of his female friends whose bodies could even be easily squeezed by Xavier. Skinny, not tall and also looks frail.
“What? Whahuh? Graciella, are you crazy?” bruce asked, two days is not a long time, it is very short to be able to reveal a case. There are many things to consider beforehand.
“I'm sure I can,” said Graciella staring at Bruce. Bruce shook his head, feeling sorry for carrying Graciella. She knew Graciella from a long time ago as a strong woman. But I didn't expect her to be such a reckless woman either.
“Alright, I accept your challenge. After all, there's nothing to lose for me, you want to be an investigator or not, it's none of my business.”
“Good! Remember, if you lose, stop demeaning others before you know how to do it.”
Xavier heard that raising one corner of his lips formed a smile that seemed very devious. “But with one condition!”
“What?”
“I must continue to see how you conduct the investigation. I'll watch you.” right away Xavier said that with his sarcastic tone.
Eh? Graciella. That means these two days he's going to keep looking and being close to this shitty guy?
“Tak dare?”
“Alright! Who's afraid!”
Xavier put both his hands in his pants pocket. Looking down at Graciella with a sarcastic smile. Huh! shitty guy!
