Brian paused for a moment, his hands instinctively clutching his head, which still felt heavy and throbbing, as if the remnants of the incident hadn't completely left his body.

His breathing was still unsteady, and what he was most aware of was how the burning sensation spreading within him hadn't completely subsided, like embers still smoldering beneath the surface.

Brian's gaze slowly shifted to Emily, who was standing not far from him. The woman was still wearing a thin tank top and shorts,

    “Ting!”An incoming message on Brian's cell phone broke the silence of the night which was increasingly feeling oppressive. He, who had been standing near the car, immediately grabbed his cell phone quickly.However, as soon as the screen opened and the contents of the message were clearly visible, his jaw immediately tightened, while his hands were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.How come?An unknown number sent a picture that made his chest feel like it was being squeezed.In the picture, his parents are seen sitting in a closed room. Their faces looked confused, even a little worried, as if they didn't understand what was actually happening.Maybe they still thought they would meet Brian, because they had been told that from the start. But in reality, they are now in a place they are completely unfamiliar with."God damn it!" shouted Brian in a voice full of anger, his emotions that had been suppressed for a long time finally exploded."What is it?" asked Emily,

    “Bang!”A gunshot shattered the silence, previously filled only with the roar of a vehicle's engine. The flash of fire from the muzzle of a gun could be seen in the distance, coming from Emily's men's car, which had arrived almost at the same time as them.“Good job, they've arrived. So I don't need to draw my weapon,” Emily said calmly, even though the situation ahead was clearly very dangerous.Brian swallowed hard, his eyes focused ahead, while his heart beat faster. He had never been in a situation like this before, where the sound of gunfire was so close to him.The exchange of fire was unavoidable. The car carrying his parents—or at least the one they thought they were—immediately returned fire. The sound of bullets echoed through the air, creating a tense atmosphere that could make anyone lose control.“Watch out! My parents are there!” Brian shouted in panic, his voice tense and filled with fear as he heard the relentless gunfire.Emily remained calm, her eyes sharply observin

    "Follow this map, they're heading this way, and we can't be late," Emily said to Brian, placing her phone screen on the dashboard for easy viewing.Brian stared intently at the address Emily had given him. It was already quite a distance from their current location, and that meant they were racing against time if they wanted to catch the car carrying their parents."Where are they taking my mom and dad?" Brian muttered softly, more to himself than to Emily."You don't need to think about where they're taking them. The important thing is that we catch up and stop them," Emily replied firmly, not wanting Brian to get caught up in anxiety that would only slow his reactions.Brian nodded, though his mind was still filled with various negative possibilities he didn't want to imagine."Are you going down yourself later?" Brian asked then, his eyes remaining focused on the road ahead."No. Two of my men have already arrived at the location. They'll move quickly to help us stop the car," Emil

    Brian arrived at the bus terminal.However, the place was incredibly crowded, with vehicles constantly coming and going, horns honking, and people milling about without really paying attention to one another. In such a bustle, it was easy for someone to disappear without a trace, and that was what made Brian's chest tighten.Wasting no time, Brian immediately looked for his regular travel agent from his village, hoping someone had seen his parents. He jogged along, his eyes scanning every corner of the terminal anxiously."Did you see my father and mother earlier?" Brian asked one of the drivers he knew from the village, his voice hurried and hopeful."Oh, someone picked them up earlier. They said it was you," the driver replied casually, not realizing how important this information was to Brian.Brian immediately fell silent, his face tense. "Where are they going?" Brian asked again, this time in a more urgent tone.The driver shook his head slowly. "I don't know. They left immediate

    "Are they really coming today?" Emily asked Brian, her voice casual, but her eyes betrayed a serious concern for what was happening."Yes, because they still had work in the village yesterday, so they couldn't come yesterday. They left the village this morning using a travel agent," Brian replied, although he wasn't entirely calm when he said it."So, who's picking them up?" Emily asked again, this time in a slightly sharper tone, as if she were beginning to notice something odd about the situation."I should have picked them up a little while ago, because they hadn't arrived according to the estimated departure time. But somehow, they've already arrived," Brian replied, his face beginning to show a unease he could no longer hide."I'll go after them immediately," Emily said without hesitation, as if it were the only sensible decision at the moment.Brian immediately nodded, not wanting to waste another second. Ignoring the atmosphere of what was supposed to be his most joyous graduat

    "Yes, I'll be your asset."Brian smiled at Emily, but behind that smile lurked a realization far deeper than a mere joke.He knew full well that the course of action he was taking now was no ordinary game, but a path fraught with risk, especially now that he was face-to-face with someone like Diego.Without Emily's protection and strength, he wasn't sure he could last long in this dangerous game.Emily glanced at him briefly, as if reading the meaning behind those simple words. "Don't just be an asset," she said calmly, "become someone truly useful."Brian nodded slowly. He understood her meaning. This wasn't about dependence, but about surviving and thriving under pressure.He also realized that Diego was no opponent to be underestimated. The man had moved faster than he had anticipated, even managing to set a trap that nearly took him down.The fact that his disguise as a CEO had been discovered made the situation even more dangerous.**The day had finally arrived, the day he had b
