The guy yelped in pain while his 'friends' just looked on, still bewildered.
"No cheating, I said." she just said and pulled his fingers backwards as he twisted his body and contorted his face in pain.
He kept on cursing and tried to shake his body away from her but she's surprisingly stronger and just held onto his hand firmly.
When she let go of him, his twisted fingers are so visible even the guys winced in pain as if they're the ones on his place.
When Chris stabilized the position of his hand, his fury came back and he yelled.
"Get her!!!" As if on automatic, they each tried to attack her but they were just all swiftly knocked down.
Only the young man who tried to run away remained unscathed but his pants are also wet after he peed himself in fear.
"I said no cheating." Airi stretched her arms and walked towards the weakened Alon.
"Can you stand?" She slung one of his arms over her shoulders and helped him stand up.
"I told you to run," he just muttered but walked with her anyway. His mouth twitched when he smelled blood from his own face. I'm so dirty.
When they passed the young man, Airi stopped for a bit and spoke to him.
"Get some help outside. If I still see them here when the sun fully rises, you know what will happen." She said it sweetly but her piercing gaze kept the young man trembling on his knees.
"Y-yes Ma-Ma'am!" Then he ran towards one of the motorboats, the back of his pants still wet from his own pee.
Airi dragged the weakened Alon back to his house and went back to put a shade under the heads of the knocked out men. They will probably sleep for awhile so they need to be alive at least. She did not bother helping them any further.
A few minutes after the young man left with one of the motorboats, Airi saw a yacht docking over.
Uniformed crews have already jumped from the boat and ran towards the house for security while the others stayed to interrogate the intruders.
Alon is being tended on by the old woman but the guy is unusually silent. When the crew reported to him, he just wave his hand to acknowledge them but he did not speak any further.
Airi immediately took a shower and after confirming that she can join the crew back to the mainland, she bid her farewell to the old couple and Alon himself.
"Thank you. Get your bruises checked. Goodbye." Airi walked away as swiftly as she said those words and loaded the yacht.
She did not even turn to look back and closed her eyes as soon as she found a comfortable place to sit.
"Airi." Alon just whispered before he left for his room and shut it locked, his face a mixture of wonder, mockery and anger.
He left the island the next day but still lived in seclusion and did not accept any calls from his assistant.
Security has been raised on the island for the old couple's protection and he already filed a case against tresspassing from the earlier intruders.
Alon did offer to get the old couple out of the island but they chose to stay so they can tend on the island.
In fact, the island was originally owned by the couple but due to some circumstances, they ended up selling the land over to him. He instead kept them as caretakers which they wholeheartedly accepted.
Alon is still out of contact as of now but his assistant has already gotten ahold of his location and is now on the lookout.
Since Airi brought her wallet when she got out of her apartment, she took the journey home by herself and did not accept any offer from the crew anymore. She wanted nothing to do with them at all.
Arriving back at her flat, she noticed that a new neighbor had moved in while her other neighbor must have came since her plants got watered on again. She needs to give her neighbor a gift.
Taking a pin from a potted plant, she easily unlocked the door to her apartment and got inside.
She took a brief shower, visited her room downstairs, watched more Doraemon and slept. When she woke up, her body is ready to face another challenge again.
Grabbing her bike with her, she drove back to the Aresta residence to check on her two clients. Surprisingly though, no war has broke out so far.
This has been her main worry ever since she got stuck on the island. As her two assignments are hot-headed, it's no surprise if they always come into an argument.
The mood seemed okay though as she had not felt anything weird towards the interaction in between the two. Just to be sure, she made contact with old Naning for any update.
"I think they're just getting along well now." The old woman just mused.
Airi shrugged her shoulders and walked out of the house. She stopped on her steps when she smelt a familiar scent- it's the same perfume on the room Alon prepared for his lady friend.
She smiled, the world is really small. She turned around to check who the lady is but got stumped when she saw the broad back of a guy whistling on his way towards the house. Did she just get conned?
She shook her head in unbelief and put the matter aside, she's no longer acquainted with that guy so she should stop thinking about it.
She came upon her two assignments as she walked out of the house. They appear to be bickering again.
She pinched the skin between her brows and sighed. When she got assigned as the vice-president of the company managed by the guy, she just shrugged and gave them a warning that she doesn't know any managerial skills.
Right now though, she'd rather go and work as the vice-president than deal with the two adults acting like kids.
"No, this is better." She heard the woman speak.
"I really think-"
"No." The guy seemed to just give up and sighed when the woman resolutely responded.
The woman smiled when she won their argument and looked up just in time to see her.
"Airi!"
"Hi." She pasted a smile on her face and walked towards the bickering two.
Chryxso's mood seemed to have worsened when he heard her name.
"Hi boss." She greeted him, disregarding his dark mood.
"Why are you here? I thought you'll go on a vacation? Don't you need more?" He coldly asked.
By then, both of you may have already killed each other, she thought to herself but instead cheerily responded.
"I did have a good vacation, thanks to you." And those rascals, she got some exercise.
"Great! See? I can go now." Mayu just exclaimed. The guy's expression darkened even more.
