After being discharged from the hospital, Nico rushed back to Headquarters. Jennifer was brought back to the main mansion by her sister. Xavier persuaded his sister to come with him again to Switzerland for a few days, but Jennifer insisted on refusing, citing work that could not be left behind.
"Are you sure you don't want to come with me?" Xavier asked once more after their car had already arrived at the Mansion courtyard and the two got off the car.
"No, sister, tomorrow morning I have an important meeting with a big client."
"Alright then, take good care of yourself." Xavier doesn't want to force. For him now his sister is more mature and responsible, of course he feels very proud.
"Yes sis...." Jennifer nodded obediently.
"Call Nico if you want to go anywhere."
"Yes, sister." she replied back. "But isn't there Elma?"
"no need. Nico can better protect you." From the events that just happened, Xavier prefers Nico to take care of his younger brother. So far Nico has always been vigilant and deft.
"Ck, Vie's sister believes in him a lot." With a satirical tone. Even it seems like his brother will trust his men more than with himself, his own sister.
"Because he's my man, I definitely trust him compared to you. You love lying to me, Mom and Dad!" Xavier remembered how his younger brother had lied to him since he was a teenager, by going to parties and even to the nightclub secretly.
Jennifer rolled her eyes lazily, it was a little lie as a teenager. It turned out that because of that, her brother had more trust in others. "I've never lied again, brother!" his objection. "Just not to be honest." his great-grandson then turned away with a face and a scaled-down voice but Xavier could hear it.
"That's the same." Xavier touched her sister's forehead, making Jennifer pop her lips, while her fingers rubbed her forehead as a result of her brother's actions. "Ah yes, that man"
"Sister Vie I'm sorry, my stomach hurts. I have to go to the bathroom." Jennifer interrupted, before Xavier finished his sentence. "I go in first Brother, Brother Vie and Brother Jack just be careful, say my regards to the twins and also Austin." Then rush into the Mansion. Both Xavier and Jack who were standing at the side of the car were dumbfounded. What happened to Jennifer?
"What's wrong with her? It's so weird." Xavier shook his head, watching the back of the little sister who had vanished from his sight behind the luxurious building.
"Your sister is always a boss freak" Jack recalls.
"Nobody can insult him but me!" Possessive attitude as a sister reappears.
"Sorry boss." Jack then shut his mouth.
"I just wanted to tell her that she didn't have to worry about the man trying to harm her" Xavier said.
"Maybe Jennie's still very shocked, boss."
Xavier nodded in confirming. "Maybe."
"By the way boss, we'll be late if we stand here." Jack reminded. Time is running faster, it's a sign they have to hurry back to Switzerland.
"Ah, you're right. The older you get, the smarter Jack." The real compliment is a mockery.
"Ck, I've always been a smart boss, it's just that if I'm with you I always look stupid!"
Xavier chuckles, then gets in the car ignoring Jack's gaze. Ah, let's go low in front of the boss, he thought. Before then following the boss into the car and plugging the gas left the main Mansion.
While Jennifer peeked behind the window after the sister's car was no longer visible, she breathed a sigh of relief. Jennifer suspects that her sister will ask about the man she was with in Newcastle City, who is none other than Billy, considering he had seen someone watching her. And he suspects that someone is one of the older brother's men who is monitoring him.

Nico becomes uneasy as his two best friends stare at him unblinkingly. So disgusting. For some reason upon arriving at Headquarters, Keil and Daniel's looks and smiles look different.
"Stop your gazes! Just make me creep!" his gerutu shuddered in horror.
"It turns out you're really in love with Miss Jennie, haha," Daniel said.
"And look, you're hurt for protecting Miss Jennie" Keil continued.
"Huh, so that's why you're looking at me like you're seeing someone in love." Grunted annoyed. "At least you are overreacting. If you're in my position, you'll also be protecting Miss Jennie, there's no way you'll be quiet when Miss Jennie is in danger."
"I agree.." cried Keil.
The couch pillow that floated on Daniel's face made his laughter stop and the culprit was Nico, he was annoyed half to death every time Daniel mocked him. "Surely you guys hacked the CCTV over there?" No wonder Keil also Daniel knew of it and looked at himself mockingly.
"Haha right. As soon as one of the men reported it to me, Keil and I immediately saw the footage and wow a very romantic scene, like a man protecting his girlfriend," Daniel exclaimed.
"I'm protecting my lover. Are you jealous, hm?" Nico replied confidently while replying to Daniel's taunts. "If you're jealous, just say it, baby" while smiling.
"Ck, disgusting!" The word 'dear' pinned by Nico really makes Daniel become nauseous. "I'm not envious, so stop your silly attitude!"
"Huhaha......" Nico and Keil laughed satisfied. Finally Nico can avenge that shitty Daniel. Daniel put on a sour and upset face at the same time. Totally ridiculous.
"Then where is he?" nico asked shortly after his laughter receded.
"At the torture chamber. He just got his therapy shock" Keil said. The shock therapy in question is Baba and Lala. Their two pet lions are always assigned to scare off prisoners at Headquarters.
Nico smiled with satisfaction. "good. That was the first lesson for him for daring to hurt Miss Jennie."
"Hem, I also can't wait to torture him slowly" Daniel said later.
"We have to make sure that Johannes's lover's body remains intact, so that he realizes his mistake!" exciting Nico. Keil and Daniel nodded simultaneously. "Then what about an anonymous client who asks for our help?" tanyanya.
"I'll see him tonight" Keil replied.
Nico nodded in wonder. "Why should it be night?"
"Of course, he said if he only had free time at night, that was all the message he sent."
"Maybe he doesn't want you to see his face and know his identity." Daniel guessed. Not many of their clients cover their identity.
"Ck, it's free. He used a fake account" Keil said. Because he was curious, he tried to find out about his anonymous client. Whether a woman or a man, Keil doesn't care.
***
Time shows at 8 p.m. Keil's car darted into the darkness of the night towards the location where he met an anonymous client. Keil never felt afraid if it was a trap or an enemy in disguise, anyone he would face. After all, some of the men always followed him.
Now Keil was at the meeting location, then immediately parked his car. Positioning itself under the old bridge, the light coming from the street lights was enough to illuminate the place. While waiting, Keil got out of the car, leaning his body on the bumper of his car.
His gaze circulated on the figure that had just come up on foot, complete with a head covering and a mouthpiece, which seemed to be using a black scarf. From a distance Keil had already noticed a figure that seemed to be a woman.
The longer it got closer, there was something strange that Keil felt, the figure was truly familiar. Then Keil turned his body around to turn his back on the woman.
"Sorry, are you K?" K is the initials of each member's name Black Lion. If one of them replies to a message from a client, then they must attach the initials.
And sure enough, the voice of the woman was really familiar in her ears, until finally Keil twisted his body and his handsome face could now be seen by someone in front of him.
"Ke-Keil.....????"
