Mr. Stegen: A Man with a Hidden Identity

Secrets of Both

“Save me. They want to do bad things, maybe even kill me,” said the girl who is now hiding behind Ludwig's body.

Ludwig did not respond immediately. Lilia's husband slightly looked back, then smiled faintly. “He said that you were about to hurt him,” Ludwig said as he turned his attention back to the four men before him. .

“Whatever we will do, it has nothing to do with you!” jolt one of the four strangers..

“Indeed not, but this young lady used my body as her shield. That means, you guys have to pass me first,” Ludwig replied lightly. His handsome face, showing no expression.

“Alright, if that's what you want.” The stranger grabbed something from behind his jacket.

Ludwig could already guess what was hidden there. He turned his right foot straight into the man's hand. A strong kick, has made the balance of the foreign man become unsteady.

The man collapsed before he could hold the gun. The firearm was thrown near the ravine, which was about two meters to Ludwig's left. The boundary between Ludwig and the ravine is in the form of rocks, with high weeds that usually grow in the hills.

“Job!” Three other men had cocked weapons. They're ready to pull the trigger on Ludwig.

However, Ludwig even pulled the woman who had been behind him. He deliberately changed positions by making the woman a shield. “Toothe.” Ludwig grinned as he walked backwards. He had just stopped, when the heel of his sneakers hit a large rock. Still in an alert position, Ludwig glanced back. The stone can be used as a hiding place for two adults.

Ludwig again directed a gaze forward. The four foreign men were standing gallantly, pointing the muzzle of each gun at the woman's head. Ludwig could feel the fear that had arisen from the woman. “Why don't you guys shoot? Is this lady not to be harmed? Ah, I got it. You have to take him alive. Really so?” Ludwig squinted his eyes. He still showed a calm attitude.

The four men were silent for a moment, before one of them took a step forward. “Give the girl now. I guarantee you will be safe,” said the man who was at the front.

“Not a bad idea,” reply Ludwig. He forced a push on the young woman's body, until it drew closer towards the foreign man who was still in a wary manner.

“No! Nay! Please. Helpme! I'll give you everything you want! My father has great power!” The woman begged. Trouble, he held back the pace of his body so as not to get closer to the men who were chasing him earlier.

Instantly, Ludwig stopped what he was doing. “Your father has power? How big?” ask the man coldly.

“Do not trust him! Instead, quickly hand over the girl and go far away from here! Think nothing ever happened!” jolt one of the men earlier.

In very limited lighting, Ludwig squinted his eyes while watching the four men before him. Serious faces with a ready-to-attack attitude, showing that their speech did not match reality. Ludwig could already guess what the end of the incident was like this time.

“Alright, then. Just take her.” Ludwig held the young woman's hands together, then bent them behind his back. With a quick movement, he pushed the woman forward. One thing that Ludwig had calculated, that the men would not hurt the woman.

This was a benefit for Ludwig. The woman can be a powerful weapon to repel attacks. Just as the young woman's body advanced and clung to the muzzle of the man's gun that stood at the front, Ludwig immediately ducked down. He punched the man in the stomach using his head.

This time, it was Ludwig's turn to take aim at the four men. He did so while re-enclosing the girl's body, which was again made into a shield. “Sorry. I changed my mind. I trust this lady more than you,” her sneer is cynical.

“Damn it! I'll make sure you regret the decision ...” Not finished the man spoke, Ludwig had already pulled the trigger, then shot the left chest of the foreign man to death.

“Bad you!” One of the three remaining men, intended to avenge Ludwig's actions.

However, unfortunately Ludwig moved quickly. The man who had married Lilia despite the false identity, first shot the hands and chest of each of the three men earlier. They fell simultaneously. Ludwig stood there for a moment. He's killed four people on the runaway land. It was something that was not good for him, who was trying to give up the status of a fugitive.

“Thank you, Mister,” said the weeping woman.

The voice of the young blonde woman, instantly disperse Ludwig's thoughts. The handsome man did not reply to the young woman's words. He instead blocked the woman's arm while tightening his mass. “Who are you really?” ludwig asked with an eerie looking highlight.

“Aw! Pain.” The green-eyed young lady grimaced slightly, feeling Ludwig's hand grip on her longer arm grow firmer.

“Why are they after you? Because of you, I killed these people!” ludwig growled while snorting annoyed.

“Ma-forgive me,” says the woman stammered. “I will make up for all the losses you have,” he continued confidently. “Do not worry,” said the young woman again. The terrified hue was still clearly visible from the look in his eyes.

Slowly, Ludwig removed the grip from the woman's arm. The man stared intently at the beautiful face that looked faint. Ludwig was silent and thought. He had to immediately remove the bodies of the four foreign men, who he had finished off a while ago.

Ludwig took the gun he had used to kill the men. He wiped thoroughly, in order to remove the fingerprints stuck there. After that, Ludwig threw the gun into the ravine. Likewise with other firearms scattered on rocky ground.

Meanwhile, the young blonde woman just stood there. He doesn't know what to do. For a lifetime, this was the first time he had experienced such a terrifying event. However, if not so then his life is a bet. That woman won't blame Ludwig. He was very grateful. “One more time, I say thank you.”

Ludwig who was thinking, turned his head. Although only a glance, but he can capture the sincerity of the young woman's eyes. “We should get rid of these bodies immediately before morning. Anyway, I have to go home soon,” Ludwig said.

“Just throw their bodies into the abyss. No one knows what happened tonight other than the two of us”, the blonde-haired woman said. “You've helped me. It will be a secret between you and me,” he said confidently.

“I hope you don't add to my problems,” Ludwig replied. He dragged one by one the bodies of the four foreign men to the brink.

The young lady helped him up, then threw as hard as she could. But after that, he was pensive.
