When she heard one of her school mate going to nearby Mainland City, an idea came up to her mind. She asks the owner of the fis.h.i.+ng boat to bring her anywhere near the city. She paid a certain amount from the money she saves for years. No one suspects she is leaving because everyone thought she was at school.

But everything is already she planned. She will be picked up at the school then disguised as the daughter to avoid questions from port inspection. The fisherman actually complaining why it was too strict right now than before? From going out and entering the island everyone must check first.

After she arrived in the port, she parted with them and began inquiring certain directions and addresses she wanted to go. She was browsing her phone when someone s.n.a.t.c.hed it from her hand. She tried to chase the guy but someone picks him up by a motorcycle in the next street, and they have gone swiftly.

All the files and information was saved on her phone. She has no idea how much that phone was because she actually not using one often in the past. It was the latest phone that dream by any mobile gamer because of its latest iOs update and RAM capacity. Anyone would buy it with half of the price only as long they will own that kind of phone.

She was still standing in the road when the rider of the motorbike that pa.s.ses her grab her bag. She was pulled out along the bag that made her fall in the ground. She hit her head that made her lose consciousness.

She woke up in a clinic. She asked the nurse if she could borrow the telephone. She also asked the lady if she could help her know the telephone number of the Empire Dragon Hotel or The Peninsula. She heard these names at the Bella Collection Fas.h.i.+on Show live streaming mentioned by the hosts that those places own by Crow Corporation.

The nurse told her to browse on the internet. The kind nurse let her borrowed the mobile phone and Ca.s.sie quickly searches on Google, then she dialed the number she found. But the receptionist is unfriendly and just hang up her call.

She never remembered to write down some contacts and hid on her pocket. Even all the money she brought was all in the bag. She stared at the ocean helplessly. She did inquire if there is a fis.h.i.+ng boat that will sail to the island, but they said, there is a typhoon coming in the next couple of days.

She felt helpless more. Even if she will go to Mainland City, she wonders if they would let her in if she looks for Shun personally in the hotel. Besides, she has no money for transport. She did wonder if she could stay in the clinic until then? But first, she was hungry now.

"Sister! Sister!"

A boy is running towards her. He was the son of the couple that brings her in the clinic. She learned from the nurse that the boy doesn't want to leave her while she lost consciousness. Said, she was so pretty so he will protect her.

Ca.s.sie messed up his hair after remembering what the nurse told her. They said this area actually began having more trouble after a new gang was been straying around lately. She heard before that Daichi has a lot of gang members. It must be another gang because for sure, brother Daichi's men like Mr. Thomas are good people.

"What is it?" she asked the cute boy named Vin.

"Mama said, I should look for you, might you are hungry."

"Hey, beautiful lady."

At the moment, Shun who's watching at his Tab, he wanted to jump inside the screen after seeing that group of suspicious men coming close to Ca.s.sie.

After they found her, Meisha quickly went to the rooftop and start up the helicopter. Blaire left behind to take care of other things.

He also ordered Aldean to hack all the cameras that possible recorded why Ca.s.sie has a bandage on her head now. They've watched the whole incident with the help of the camera that set in an ATM Machine and one is from a store close by. With ATHENA, hacking a system is easy.

But right now, who are these men? Shun is troubled. They still halfway.

Ca.s.sie turns her head. She saw a group of men is coming towards them. She quickly gets up and hid the boy behind her.

"Don't be afraid. We heard you want to go to the Mainland City. We could take you there," said of the guy who stands as the leader. His companion is grinning.

"No. I am fine. Thank you." She tried to refuse politely of their offer. "Vin, let's go. Am hungry," she holds the boy's hand. She's hoping Vin could run fast if necessary.

But the men have now surrounded them. She can't get out. One of the guys tried to grab her but his head was. .h.i.t by a baseball ball.

"Oh, 1 point! See that?" Boosted by another man who was newly arrived, behind him are a large number of men.

Ca.s.sie was nervous. If there is a fight to happen now, how she could get away? And the boy is very scared.

"Wait, this territory is not yours! This is ours! Don't meddle in our business!"

"Really?" He blows the dust on his baseball bat. "How if, our boss wanted this town? Huh? Don't tell us you own this town! This is originally is my boss territory!"

"What did you say!? Your boss is dreaming!" said of the leader and his gang laughs.

The second gang got angry with how they disrespect their boss. Few engaged an attack that began the riot. The leader of the second gang running towards them. The leader of the first gang meet him halfway and they exchange punches.

There are 5 men stand in front of her. "Don't worry, Miss. We will protect you." Said one of them.

"Huh? Who are you? Why?"

"Boss Daichi sent us, Miss."

"Brother Daichi!?" she asked excitedly. She feels relieved now. Brother Daichi sent help after all. She wanted to cry.

The riot continued when a helicopter approaching and attempted to land.
