“Because I won't be able to see you get hurt by them again!” snapped Xavier who could no longer hold everything back. His emotions, fear and anxiety gathered together.
Xavier's shoulder that had been lifted because of his emotions, immediately slowly down because he looked into Graciella's eyes who was only silent to receive a snatch from Xavier, Xavier immediately felt regret for using that high tone on Graciella.
“I don't remember how I got through that day knowing they've been holding you and Moira. But I'm pretty sure I don't want to remember it or feel it again in the future. Because that's how much I can keep everything away from you. Graciella, I just don't want you to get hurt anymore because of me, until now that's the sin that haunts me, I don't want it to happen again, I don't want it to happen again,” said Xavier with his face so clear grasping both Graciella's wrists gently. Just this time Graciella saw the man's face as if begging him. That usually firm face seemed unable to cover up his worries.
Graciella could only be speechless hearing what Xavier said. He pulled both of his hands from Xavier's grasp. Graciella wiped away the tears that made her wet at the end of her eyes.
“I can't. I can't just wait. Can you imagine how I can live a quiet life because every day I have to guess if my daughter is still around? Is he safe? Is he living well? Is he happy? Is there anyone who looks after her and loves my beautiful daughter? I really won't be able to live quietly every day thinking about it,” Graciella said with a broken cry that immediately made Xavier feel unable to see it. Graciella feels she's getting more sensitive when it comes to Moira. He just couldn't forgive himself for not being able to take good care of his little daughter.
Xavier knows exactly how Graciella feels now. He must be worried about Moira. Xavier immediately hugged Graciella's trembling body which could no longer hold back the sadness of her heart. She was already so longed to hug her little daughter, feeling the warmth of her embrace.
“We will find it, I will promise you,” Xavier said with reddened eyes but instantly full of determination. Graciella just nodded slowly in Xavier's arms which was enough to dampen her feelings, otherwise Graciella would be so hysterical. He wants nothing more in this world. He just wants to know where his daughter is. Xavier continues to hug Graciella trying to calm her woman down and slowly it seems Graciella is starting to calm down.
“Commander, we have reached the place,” said Arnold, inevitably disturbing the atmosphere behind them. Their car pulled over not far from a meeting place.
Xavier nodded in understanding. He slowly took off Graciella's body and looked at the woman's face that looked already flushed and wet. Graciella immediately wiped her tears and clamped her wet nose.
“There's something I need to do now. I ask for whatever happens, even if someone attacks this car, you do not get out of here,” said Xavier who immediately put on a serious face. “Dragon Miss Graciella, whatever happens do not let her out of here,” firmly Xavier directly.
The order instantly got a nod from the driver of the car who was also one of Xavier's subordinates. Xavier is indeed on a mission trip to carry out his plans when he hears reports that Graciella is now with Adrean. Therefore he immediately met this woman and was forced to take her.
Graciella looked out of the car. Fortunately this car has glass that can not penetrate to the inside, but inside can see out clearly. Suddenly he saw a familiar figure coming out of the car. Graciella raised her eyes and could not believe what she was seeing. That man was Robert Kim. The person from yesterday made him think how to meet him. Suddenly he could now see the man in front of him.
“Grachiella! Remember my words, whatever happens do not come out,” said Xavier who saw Graciella fixated on the figure of Robert Kim who was deliberately lured by Xavier to come to the place.
“You want to meet him?” asked Graciella again looking at Xavier. For a moment he looked back at Robert Kim, Xavier could tell the anger and hatred implied in Graciella's eyes
“Yes, stay here, if you come out, then my plans will be ruined and for sure you will be targeted again. So, promise me you'll still be here,” said Xavier, who immediately held Graciella's arms so she could turn her face toward Xavier to get her attitude toward Robert Kim distracted.
“Ehm, yes, alright,” said Graciella who finally gave up. He actually wanted to go out and approach the man. He wanted to know what the man's reaction would be if he looked at himself again. But the seriousness in Xavier's eyes made him stop doing that. He doesn't want to ruin any of Xavier's plans.
“Alright,” Xavier said. He tidied up a little bit of his shirt before he got out of the car and closed the door quickly.
Graciella seemed serious to see Xavier immediately enter the same building entered by Robert Kim, In her heart she wondered what Xavier wanted to do? He didn't even bring a lot of his men.
*****
Robert Kim got out of his car and saw an appointment with Mr. Bernando. The man was one of the top brass and also a very successful businessman. He is among the richest people in the world. Of course the support from him will be very influential with his obsession.
Not to mention that he also received reports that David Qing directly joined the coalition with Mr. Peter. Feeling betrayed and also like a sweet as banished, Mr. Robert really can not trust his partner who used to support each other turned out to stab him in the back. Of course, David Qing had a relationship with Mr. Peter, otherwise he couldn't have been that easy to form a Coalition.
“Mr Bernando, glad to see you,” said Mr. Robert who did start losing power a few years back. Ever since Xavier took office as General, his football had been limited because Xavier had eradicated all illegal things, so he could not execute much of his plan smoothly. Whereas what makes Xavier easy to get the title of general there is a little interference from him.
“Mr Robert Kim, nice to meet you, But did you not get my message?” asked Bernando, who had the face to shake Mr. Robert's hand.
“What do you mean?” asked Sir Robert frowned.
“Yes, I have moved our meeting schedule because I have to meet with others today,”, said Mr. Bernando sungkan.
“But we have long arranged this meeting, how can you move it?” ask Mr. Robert again.
“Yes, He suddenly contacted me, and since I did have an interest in Him, therefore I transferred him, I'm sorry Mr. Robert, this must be the fault of my assistant, I'm sorry,” said Mr. Bernando friendly.
“Who would you like to meet?” asked Robert who was curious and also a little annoyed with Mr. Bernando. It was almost a week ago that he made an appointment with this man and he easily changed their meeting schedule. Robert became very curious and also wanted to know who the person who had shifted his place was.
“Master Bernando, good afternoon,” that heavy voice instantly made Mr. Robert look back. He looked with a look of dislike at Xavier who was walking with full decisiveness and confidence towards them.
“General Xavier. I've been waiting for you!” said Mr. Bernando so excited to come to Xavier.
Robert Kim who saw it instantly boiled over. He clasped his hand tightly and could not help but look at Xavier with his reddened eyes. Xavier didn't even greet her, he just looked at Robert kim with the tip of his eye. Of course once again, it tore up his pride.
“You!!!”
