"Done!" After writing his report, he stretched out his arms while sitting in front of his laptop for so long.
"Now that I'm done, let's see what that brat's doing." That being said, he has opened another software where he sees nothing other than a closed door.
Of course, that's all he could do because if she found out that he had put a hidden camera outside her door without her knowing it, he's going to get into a lot of trouble. She will continue to call him that he is a stalker. What the hell was he supposed to do? He was only worried about his troubled younger sister. No, he wasn't the only one, they're all concerned about her because she was the only one staying in that place. They even tried to persuade her to go with them to the Empire, but what they received was nothing else but a big flat NO.
"Is she in trouble?" A man who was in his mid twenties made a comment as he frowned. Well, he didn't do much because he just skipped time to see when she was leaving or coming back, but he didn't see her return home after going out in the middle of the night within 46 hours
"What happened, Elijah?" A man in the back suddenly spoke when he noticed that Elijah had such an expression.
"Brother Liam." Elijah looked at him before his face turned sour and said, "Deneza hasn't been home for almost two days now."
Liam raised his brows for a moment before looking at him and said, "Did Leilanie do something again?"
Elijah shrugged his shoulder and said, "I don't know yet, but if it was due to her that Deneza not coming back for almost two days, then it would be hard to find the leads because I'm pretty sure the doctor's already cleaned it up."
"How many hours?" Liam asked without emotion on his face.
Elijah chuckled before he said, "Half."
Liam stared at Elijah for a while before he shifted his eyes on the ceiling and closed his eyes afterwards. He was confident about Elijah's skills in hacking so when he said he could, then there's no doubt about it.
About an hour later, Elijah opened her mouth and said, "She has been kidnapped."
Liam opened his eyes and frowned, "Kidnapped?" His voice is tinted with disbelief. After in a moment's contemplation, he then said, "Was it from the underworld?" His voice this time has a tinge of worry in it.
Elijah only shakes his head, he too was in a state of shock and disbelief when he watched the video clip that was recorded by the CCTV. "No, they're just normal thugs with no ties in the underworld." Elijah then carried his laptop and give it to Liam so he would be able to watch the footage.
After Liam finished watching it, he felt a sudden headache and after a long silence. He said "She has a fever."
Elijah laughed, he also agreed about what Liam deduced. Both of them knew what Deneza's combat capabilities were. She was very skilled and there's no way that she'll be kidnapped without even defending herself. What they saw in the video was as if the battle was one-sided. She was surrounded, but she didn't notice. Every time she had a fever, everyone knew she had an unusual habit of walking around.
"These thugs don't have a lot of experience. If it weren't for the fact that Deneza was confused because of her fever, she could easily bring those thugs within five minutes or less." A woman wearing a pale orange loose dress walked into the room, making a remark. She's also saw the video since Liam was in front of her. She sat next to him.
Elijah looks towards the door and chuckled, "Sister Jayce."
"But the fact that she dropped her guard is the greatest mistake she's ever made. She must know that she was from the underworld. We have a lot of enemies who want us dead." Liam said, looking at the woman who was seated beside him.
"I know. But they still need to play by the rules. Confront face to face else will be damned if they played dirty behind our back." Jayce said with her playful smile while looking at Liam. She continued, "Everyone knows that the reason we built our reputation in the underworld is to prevent the same tragedy, we experienced." She paused for a moment, still looking at him before she opens her mouth and said, "All the leaders in the underworld have a peace agreement.."
"Jayce..." Liam said as he felt helpless whenever he was in front of her.
"Sister Jayce should be aware that our identity is not easy to find because I've already removed every piece of information, every trace of the accident who went missing 15 years ago. Nobody could know that Deneza or we were from the underworld." Elijah said so that Liam could get away his own predicament. He continued to say, "Furthermore, even for someone underground cannot easily say that we are connected to the underground world and even to us for them" He stopped for a moment before laughing, "Not unless they really dig up more information."
Jayce stared at him for a while and went into his deep contemplation, only she knew what she was thinking. "But that brat! I can't stop worrying about her! She's alone, there while we're here!" She stood up before saying, "I'll go to Country X and drag her here!" But before she could make her fist step Liam held her wrist and said, "No, you stay here and I'll go."
"But..."
"You're pregnant." Liam said very strongly, and Jayce knew she couldn't dissuade him because she knew he wouldn't let her leave because this month was her due date.
"When are you going?" Elijah asked.
"Tonight. The earlier the better. I'll drag her here." Liam said before looking to the woman who was leaning on him, "You better behave here" He looked at Elijah and said, "You better watch Jayce."
"Brother Liam but I also want to go." Elijah didn't give Liam a chance to react as he added, "You will still need my help."
He sighed and said, "Fine. I'll ask Eric or Alexa."
"Brother Liam, I want to go too!"
"Me too! I haven't seen Deneza for a while now. I missed her so much."
Liam squinted his eyes, looking at the two troublesome who entered the room and said, "Eric... Alexa..." He frowned and shake his head and said, "No, you two better stay here."
"No, I wanna go! I want to see Deneza!" Alexa sulked.
"Sister Inah is here, she won't go because she needed to be prepared for her board exam." Eric said.
"Yeah, yeah! Let her babysit sister Jayce. Besides, the others are also here, they can arrest Sister Jayce if she suddenly sneaks out." Alexa added while nodding, Eric also nodded to persuade Liam.
"Oy." Jayce responded when she heard her name, but Alexa pretended she didn't hear and see her gaze at her.
"How about the both of you? Aren't you guys both busy going to school?" says Liam.
"No, the semester is over months ago." Eric and Alexa said in unison.
Liam caresses his head and sighed, "It's so hard to be the eldest."
However, Eric and Alexa pretended that they didn't hear anything as they walks towards Elijah.
Liam sighed and looked at Jayce and said, "I want to step down as the oldest Jayce, nobody listens to me."
Jayce chuckled and said, "Well, it's because you keep giving in."
"I can't help but give in, you're the second oldest, but you act like you're the youngest one around here." Liam says, he's helpless.
