The Passion Of My Enemy
** poor Mike **
"Lucky you're still alive Jack. It would be nice if the Miss was a little harder to hit your head!" Derek spoke in a cynical tone.
"Haha ... Damn woman, where's that girl!?"
Jack stared narrowly at Derek. His head still feels dizzy. How insolent! The amazon woman hit him on the head until he collapsed and was too late to prepare a plan to welcome Derek and his bodyguards.
"Who's Jack ? You leave no one behind" said Derek sweetly
"Don't play with me, Derek! Where's Arthur Sky's daughter!?"
Derek smiled disdainfully.
"You've already taken part. This mansion you've made into a slaughter field. Artur Sky you took his life, you intend to finish off the mortal enemy of the family. That's not what your uncle wants!"
"The old fool can't just make peace with Sky. That hereditary grudge must continue! And you're just an outsider ... Foster child! It's only natural you won't understand." Jack ended his words with a loud laugh.
Derek narrowed, his tone turning horrible. He growls. "Don't insult my father Jack! Or your head's the bet!"
For a long time the two men looked at themselves, as if back testing to what extent the others would act.
Then Derek got up, walked to the door and turned to deliver his final decision.
"Don't test me again Jack. My father is gone, and as you say, I am only an adopted son which means absolutely no blood relation to you. That's why I'd be so happy if I could finish you off!"
Derek grinned horribly before slowly stepping back to leave Jack.
"Back you dirty dog! Where is the girl! He's mine, Derek! Mine!"
Jack tried to chase Derek, but he sat back down when dizziness made his head feel spinning.

Crane sits in a large workspace and looks comfortable. Half of the walls of the room were filled with shelves of books that were probably thousands in number. A large photo adorned the wall right next to the windows which were also large in size.
The pensive crane looked towards the large photo hanging on the wall. Family Photo of Arthur Sky. Two women in Arthur's arms. A woman that Derek was sure was his wife, and his father was right. Smiling with two dimples adorning his face.
Long Derek looked towards the woman. A woman who was also loved by her father. Which makes his father not want to marry anyone else.
Now he's locked up the girl. The aura of hostility was strongly felt from the body language of princess Arthur and Derek could not blame her. Of course he had been separated from the woman who seemed to be his personal bodyguard.
Derek hands the woman over to Mike to take care of. His men have taken care of all the rest of Jack's dirty work.******dirty was thrown at his men to be taken away. He should be tightening his surveillance on Jack from now on.
The sound of the door opening distracts Derek from the Arthur family's big picture.
"What's wrong with your face, Mike!?"
Derek frowned seeing Mike stepping towards his desk. Looks like some reddish elongated scratches on Mike's right cheek, like a scratch of something .... or someone?
"This is what I got when you told me to take care of a stray cat ...."
The sound of Derek's laughter echoed in the room. He looked at Mike as if he was very amused because he saw a scratch on the man's cheek. Derek continued to laugh as if it was very difficult to stop the ticklish feeling that tickled him.
Mike squinted, he waited with his molars tightly clenched, choosing to silently watch Derek's reaction.
"What's going on?"
Derek. The right hand of his trust was very good at taking care of himself. Full of tactics and martial power that has been proven in all battles against their enemies.
He was also a battle coach opponent for his late father and also for Derek himself.
Derek knows how ruthless Mike is when he decides that someone's life must end in his hands. Without a doubt he would pull the trigger, throw a knife, slice, cut or anything that needed to be done to extract information or just torture his enemies.
His father's now loyal right-hand man becomes Derek's right-hand man after his father's death. Mike is a few years older than Derek. Protecting him like a shadow, and Derek can trust him with his own life.
