This is her chance who knows what this mad man will do to her.

"Help! Help! Help!" Arci yelled and dashed towards the door.

Richard quickly grabbed her and pushed her onto the bed.

He made a shush sound with his finger on his mouth.

"Sir, I just heard a loud bang. Would you like me to clean it up?" From the outside, a female voice said.

Richard did not respond.

"Sir, if you do not respond, I will come in."

Richard quickly snatched the little girl into his arms and piled on top of her.

A waitress entered as the door opened.

"Get out," Richard said sternly.

Arci struggled, so she could signal the waitress. 

"I'm sorry, sir," the waitress bowed and walked out, closing the door gently.

Arci was disappointed and gave up.

Richard cocked his head and fixed his gaze on the woman.

"Remember what I say, okay?" He informed her.

Arci shuddered and nodded.

He got out of bed and held her hand, forcing her to sit up straight.

"Please let me go," Arci said.

"Sure. Come with me" Richard told her.

He grabbed her hand and dragged it forward.

He handed her her suitcase while holding his own.

"Follow me," he said.

Their suitcases are identical, both the size and color were same except for the color of the lock.

He flung open the door wide.

He took another step forward, his hand still in hers.

They exited the hotel together.

He held her waist in an intimate manner, making them appear to be a couple.

"Relax," he said in her ear, and she calmed down immediately before they exited through the door. 

Some group of people were standing not far from the hotel, obviously waiting for someone.

He asked her, pointing to a group of people.

"Are they expecting you?"

Arci gave a nod.

"Forget everything that happened alright? don't let me down." Richard informed her.

Arci gave a nod.

He let her go.

"Go!"

Arci approached the group of people who were waiting on the other side of the hotel.

Richard made his way to his Partner's car, which was waiting for him.

As he walked, he noticed a man pushing a dirt truck and shouting.

"Miss, please move off the road," the truck driver said in English.

Arci quickly moved out of the way to allow the truck pusher to pass.

Richard walked away without a second thought.

She approached the people who were waiting for her.

"Hello". She smiled at them.

"Hello," they replied.

Arci looked at Richard as he approached the car.

Richard walked towards his father's assistant, Drey.

"Is everything okay?" Richard inquired.

"Albert is keeping a closer eye on me than ever before. Richmond is the commander of the General Defense Command. Everywhere I go, I am followed. I got them to leave by telling them I was going to pick up my nephew " Drey lamemted.

"I don't think that's a good excuse, Drey," Richard said coldly.

"I didn't have a choice. He's always trying to get his hands on me. He wanted his guards to take my place. My life depends on the Bush army "Drey sighed.

Richard gave a cold smile.

"You can be confident. I'm alone in town."

"Your father once saved my life on the battlefield; I knew he was a trustworthy person, and don't disappoint me."

"You've decided to work with me because you believe in me. I'll treat you well no matter what ".

"What about your troops, General?" She asked.

"They've been ordered to leave town. Don't be concerned; they are Worthy of trusting."

Drey gave a nod.

"Also, who is the girl who was walking beside you just now?"

"Did you remember Grace Alfred?"

Drey gave a nod.

"That girl ran into us when I was dealing with her, she betrayed us."

"Shouldn't you then kill her?"

They both stared at where Arci was walking.

Richard was taken aback when he realized he had been duped.

The people she called her family are standing where they are, but she is not there.

And the truck driver clearly speaks English.

She understands English!!

He dashed to the car and opened the door.

"Go after her," he said.

Drey jumped into the driver's seat and started the car.

….

Arci walked to the airport, since that is where the chauffeur will come to pick her up, she waited and was already tired of waiting when a car stopped in front of her.

The back seat opened, revealing the man who had threatened her life. She attempted to flee, but Richard prevented her from doing so.

Richard dragged her into the car as quickly as he could and shut the door.

Richard placed his hand on her neck.

"I'm really surprised that you're so smart," Richard told her in English.

Arci looked at him without saying anything.

"Stop acting, do yourself a favor, and be quiet."

He took his hand off her neck.

He reached out his hand for her suitcase. Arci quickly tried to stop him, but Drey said, "Don't move."

As he pointed a gun at her.

She stiffened instantly.

Richard took her suitcase and opened it to examine the contents.

He saw a black bag and grabbed it.

"Don't touch it," she said quickly, attempting to prevent him from opening her mother's dowry.

Richard gave her a cold look, and she backed away from him.

"Sir, I'm returning to the country to bury my mother. I promise I won't tell on you," Arci said.

He took her diary and dropped the bag.

He shut her suitcase and took out her diary.

Her name is written on the first page.

"Arci Lincoln," he read in his mind. 

"You almost fooled me, I thought it would be fine if you were Japanese," he said, looking at her.

He pulled a cuff from his pocket and motioned for her to bring her hand up.

She extended her hand to him.

"What are you doing?" He asked, as he fastened the cuff around her wrist. 

"I'm afraid you'll be handcuffed to me for the next few days," he said as he tied the other side to his hand.

"It's to keep you from causing problems, Are you fine with it?"

"General, perhaps we should just shoot her and throw her body in the river," Drey said, pointing the gun at her.

Her muscles tense.

She was afraid to move.

"Drey, put the gun down. From now on, consider her your sister-in-law, let's spare her life," Richard said.

"You have a soft spot in your heart for the fairer sex, Alright?" He put the gun away and began driving.

"Don't get smart with me," Richard warned.

You could have just taken advantage of this opportunity to bring down Richard Bush and accomplish your mission so why didn't you?" Michael asked."Do you really think that the force in the south would be so kind to get rid of him for us? They are up to nothing good" Bremo replied."Our fathers are reorganizing the five province coalition forces and at this critical moment, the force in the south sent someone to assassinate Bremo and planted it on Richard Bush trying to put Los Angeles into turbulence which would inevitably spoil the reorganization of the coalition force" Sta
