My Perfect Hero's

Chapters. 176 Cosa Nostra's

Sherin is still engrossed in looking out while enjoying the beauty of Rome in the afternoon. They're gonna fly tonight. Before going to the airport, Xander asks Joa to bring them a meal. Because indeed since yesterday they continue to ignore their stomachs that have been very rumbling.

"Sherin, now quickly tell us. Why did you meet Mr. Zeno?" Xander who was already impatient to find out the actual chronology continued to urge his adopted sister. "Are you following us to White Snake's base?"

Sherin again remembered the figure of the woman who had talked with Joa. His heart was jealous again. Her chest feels so tight. But now is not the right time to discuss his jealousy. He and Joa have just separated and now they should stay together for their next marriage.

"Sherin, why are you quiet?" ask Joa. The man glanced at Sherin through the rearview mirror before returning to focus on the pace of his car.

"I followed Brother Xander and Joa. I want to know exactly what kind of important business you want to complete. But on the way I met the old man. At first I felt sorry for him and wanted to help him. But he just set me up. He's already put a bomb on the body that leaves me with no other choice but to follow his orders" Sherin explained, though not all she told me about.

"Then, how did you meet Zack Lee?" ask Joa again.

"We met at the airport. I gave them a code that I was in danger. They're very compact lovers." Sherin smiled again at Peiyu and Zack Lee on the plane.

"Then Mr. Zeno is really dead?" This time it was Xander who wanted to make sure Zack Lee's explanation was correct.

Sherin nodded. "He shouldn't have survived. He jumped off the plane with an active bomb. He's a dangerous man, isn't he? I'm sorry I met him."

"Sherin, next time you don't have to be this determined anymore. If you don't let Joa go, you don't have to let her. Rather than you having to follow him secretly like this. Joa is a man who always meets dangerous people. If Joa doesn't know you're following her, how does she protect you?" xander protests. She hopes her sister is more mature because soon she will marry Joa.

"Sorry" said Sherin, looking down. The woman's face was not as happy as before.

Suddenly Joa braked her car when she saw several cars lined up blocking the road. Sherin who almost hit immediately in Xander's attraction.

"What's up, Joa?" ask Xander. He also immediately looked ahead to see the matter occurring.

"Who are they?" ask Sherin confused.

"I'll handle it. Brother, please call White Snake. Send us your current location" joa asked as he gave Xander his phone. The man got out of the car immediately.

"Joa!" shouted Sherin. He wanted to go down but Xander stopped him.

"Don't. We stay here until we have orders from Joa" Xander said.

"We're not here, either, Sherin. We're looking for help." Xander manages to keep his emotions from getting angry with Sherin. "Okay, now hold this. But you have to stay here. Do not take any action before there is an order. Do you understand?"

Sherin glanced at the firearm in her hand before looking towards Joa who was already standing in front of the car.

Joa watched one by one the gunmen who were in front of her. There was a small smile on the corner of his lips when he knew that the horde that had blocked his path was Cosa Nostra.

"Leonzio?" Joa is still very calm. He remained vigilant and paid attention to the weapons his enemy was carrying. "What's wrong? Why are you blocking our way?"

"It's nice to meet you Joa! White Snake is famous. I'm not standing here to get in your way. I just wanted to make an offer." The tall man named Leonzio walked up to Joa. He looks so awful with tattoos all over his body. His burly muscles prove he's a fighter.

"Audy? Is this related to him?" ask Joa again.

"Give him to us and we will never disturb your peace again" Leonzio said.

"Then, what will you do if I refuse his offer?" challenge Joa with courage.

Leonzio stared intently at Joa. "You'll never go home, Joa!"

Joa chuckled at it as if there was something funny there. Obviously it makes Leonzio emotional. He immediately picked up his firearm wanting to shoot the tough guy.

"I could've killed your life. But that's not my wish. Bring back my brother then our problem is over!" Leonzio is still trying to get Joa to negotiate.

"What good is it that I'm handing Audy over to you? You realize, as a sister, that's very inhumane. You sold your own sister to someone else" said Joa. The man immediately pulled out his firearm and was ready to shoot Leonzio. "How about we fight. Which bullet would take a life faster?"

Leonzio tried to stay relaxed. "This is the problem that he himself created. He also has to be responsible. If you don't know anything, it's best not to interfere. Or are you interested in him? Just marry her then all the trouble will be over!" bargain Leonzio.

"What Leonzio said has a point as well. I only heard the story from the side. I don't know what the real story is like. I just met Audrey. Now how should you? This problem is related to Brother Xander, the inner Joa.

"Hows it? Aren't you desperately protecting her? Then don't be half-assed. Marry her and protect her from those who are after her life. That way, my responsibility as a big brother is done!" leonzio again.
