Shall Under Your Charm

Chapter 26

The seagull wandered in the warm sunlight, Farah spread her hands to the side and closed her eyes. Enjoying the sea breeze that hit his body. Keith's men were familiar with Farah. Undeniably, Kevin, the head of security who had doubts about the existence of Farah at the headquarters of the Dark Devil, finally considered Farah is an entertainment that gives a different color. In fact, all of Keith's men took turns teaching Farah many things to pass the time.

Farah took a small knife. He breathed air to ease his nervousness. He trained with a knife and failed, and this time Farah tried again. With pride at stake, Farah again throws a knife at a wooden stake. His main goal was for the knife he threw to be perfectly stuck in the pole, but almost.. the knife that he threw actually missed an inch from the wooden pole and made all the youths around him go straight down. Gege who saw Farah's action patted his forehead slowly. Somehow he has to explain to Ryan the madness of everyone including his woman when the man returns.

At night, there was a bonfire lit on the beach, with tongues of fire soaring high. Farah was only allowed by Gege to see from a distance, as Keith's campfire-festing men were certainly under the influence of alcohol. They cannot tell who A is, who B is, who C is. And Gege doesn't want to take any risks.

Gio approached Gege and Farah who were sitting in a gazebo. Farah looked at Gio's eyes that were red from drunkenness. "You know what this is?" Said Gio while giving a small bottle.

Farah observed the bottle by frowning. The small bottle contained only a murky white solution. Very turbid. "What'sthis?".

"That's lemon juice sprinkled with gunpowder hahahahaha"

Gege deftly grabbed the bottle from Farah's hand. "You dare to bring the gunpowder again within 1 meter with him, I will kick you into the sea! Go down there and blow your head with ice water!" Bumpat Gege with emotion while kicking Gio.

But Gio only obeyed the order when he realized It turned out that if the young man was drunk, it was very annoying. Farah's hand was firmly grasped by Gio with enthusiasm and he was pulled running quickly and entered the arsenal that was not far from the gazebo location. Hot and stuffy air so felt. More likely to smell of pungent iron and gunpowder.

"Do you want to learn how to shoot something again?" Ask Gio.

Farah shook her head quickly. "Don't be crazy! It's an armory and there's a lot of gunpowder. If I misfire, what if the Dark Devil headquarters explodes?".

"Hahahahahaa you are right too" Gio said with a wide grin. Suddenly the armory door was broken and Gege and Dennis, the master of the Dark Devil, entered with a red face holding back anger.

Gege pulled Gio roughly. "When you're drunk you're really annoying jerk!" Umpat Gege upset. "You take care of him." Gege's word to Dennis. "Let's get out of here before Keith and Kevin see you, Farah" Gege said, pulling Farah out of the armory.

"Hey! I forgot to say it, Keith asked you to take the girl to the rooftop!". Shouted Dennis.

Before long Gege and Farah were finally on the rooftop to meet Keith who was standing staring into the dark sea. "Keith" cried Gege. Keith turned body. "From little girls". Keith. Farah hesitantly approached Keith.

"Do I want to try firing this cannon?" keith's words that no doubt made Farah surprised.

"I don't like rejection. Try to stand well behind this cannon" Keith said. Gege just watched in silence, it seemed like Keith needed some entertainment, he thought.

"Quick fire that cannon"

With trembling hands Farah managed to fire the cannon three times and make a puff of smoke from the gunpowder. His blackened hands from the smoke tried to lift the heavy gunpowder ball to fire it back. But his gaze was fixed on the person behind Gege's body.

Ryan, standing still and looking relaxed, was staring at Farah with soft eyes. Accidentally, the cannonball fell from Farah's hand to roll at Ryan's feet, but Ryan quickly surrendered. Some of Keith's men stood frozen when he heard Ryan swearing and scolding one by one of them all. Farah did not hear anything because her ears were ringing, not used to hearing deafening cannon fire from close range.

Ryan stepped up at Farah who was standing still without being able to hear anything. Farah looked at Ryan's mouth talking to her, but Farah said nothing. Amazingly, Ryan quickly realized that Farah's ears were ringing. The man's face turned soft. Both of Ryan's hands cupped Farah's face and spoke to her again. Farah notices Ryan's lip movements and realizes that the man convinced her that her hearing would soon return. But that's not the case, now Farah's heartbeat is beating. I am so happy to see Ryan again. Maddened. That's the right word.

Ryan then removed his hand from Farah's face and turned to look at Gege. "Don't you know what my orders are to you, Ge?".

"I know your orders".Gege said. "But he won't eat and you're not here". Gege breathed. "He's so whiny you know? I'm lazy to see him always wiping his snot with a selimit every time I bring him food."

"And that's why you think he needs some fresh air and he's finally learning a lot of things with all kinds of weapons?".

"Just talk to Keith, if I were you, the first person I'd ask is him". Gege Sahut.

Ryan's eyes turned soft, "Keith told me the reason she wanted to make the girl tougher. But you should also be able to sort out what he can do which he can't, Ge".

"He's not hurt, Ryan" Gege rolled his eyes irritated. "You don't have to worry like that. He really enjoyed it".

The rest of the night eventually ends with Farah being brought back by Gege into Ryan's room and asked to clean herself up before going to bed. Farah just followed Gege's direction because she felt it was better to avoid Ryan for tonight. Farah's ears are back to function, as fatigue quickly falls upon Farah's dreamland.
