Lennard was a little apprehensive about these trips Mou would be making. Not that it was anything different from normal, Mou was expanding his influence rapidly and he was happy to do just that...
"This is Gerd Huit. He is the bodyguard I mentioned, this is my personal assistant, Lennard. He will be coming with us." Mou gave a basic introduction to the two 'men'.
Lennard looked at the stone-faced man in front of him. His small frame made him question if he was a bodyguard... But he couldn't question his boss' decision...
"Nice to meet you." Lennard outreached his hand. He felt a little intimidated of the small man for some reason...
Stella kept a cold face and stretched her hand. "Likewise." Her voice was deep and slightly raspy. An indication that she smoked perhaps...
Lennard took that into consideration. His first impression of the man wouldn't be that he smoked. Or that he was a bodyguard. He was wearing a pure black suit with black-rimmed glasses. His black hair was relatively short, but he had a small scar on his forehead. He looked like a professional worker until you spotted his cold outlook and scar...
"The flight will leave in a few hours. Will Mr. Huit be joining us?" Lennard needed confirmation to organize some things.
"He will, there are other trained guards in the back. I've arranged everything for them." Mou replied as he walked to his car.
Mou obviously took the seat in the back while Stella walked to the other car that Mou prepared. Lennard didn't know what to think about this bodyguard, he seemed to be someone who didn't like a conversation...
Lennard trusted Mou's decisions more than his own. But he still went into the passenger seat of Mou's car and investigated as much about 'Gerd Huit' as he could possibly find.
Unluckily for him, all he found was information that Eun released into the world over three days. He only learned his life at school was average. But he took classes in boxing from a young age. So when it was time to find a job, he took a security job at a bar.
Lennard was relieved that 'Gerd' didn't seem to have any connection to any malicious forces. So he rested easy knowing his boss planned to show caution across his business deals...
The first flight would be to Country R. Mou was planning to establish connections in the country to not only help stabilize the mass amount of crime and civil war threatening to arise. But also to dominate his kind uncle, to crush him and his plans once for all.
Stella took the same flight and was discreetly placed in front of Mou. Normally bodyguards would need sight on their client at all times. But Stella could just use her ears to know if anything was going on...
The flight lasted around nine hours. Once they arrived in Country R, it was already on the edge of dusk. As Mou took a car to his accommodation in the country, Stella followed behind.
Since Mou didn't own any properties in the Country, the Prime Minister of Country T agreed to contact the President of Country R to allow him access to the special VVVIP hotels in the country.
Since the President of Country R was newly elected to help the ongoing problems in the country, he accepted. Since it was a good opportunity to gain relations with Country T and help the country's infrastructure.
Stella unpacked the small number of items she brung with her. It was mainly just clothing and communication devices. She also brought along a weapon, something not even Mou knew about...
Mou sat down on his bed and opened his laptop. He initially was worried that Stella wouldn't be able to pass as a bodyguard. But after knowing what happened to Zou... He only had one thought, that only Stella would have done it.
He was the only other person he knew that had such hatred to the Fude family. He knew Cerim wouldn't involve outsiders like her. Since she wasn't really a member of the Fude family. But all he could think about was the number of strange occurrences that happened when he was around Stella.
When he first met Stella and they went into the bar and Zou, Rin and Carol all entered the room. They had some women by their side... All of the women that touched Stella ended up disappearing for a while...
Then the waitress that tried to flirt with her... She also disappeared, the woman that touched her and she had an outburst on when Emily was drinking with them... She also disappeared.
Was it a coincidence? No way, their dead bodies were found after a week each time. Each time, the women were treated brutally. And then murdered via different methods. Some stabbed, while the others were shot.
But this occasion with Zou was different. It was almost like... It was directed at her. This made Mou think, were those other women killed by Stella's order? Not by her personally?
He then noticed that all of her male outfits are made by Designer Hill. The very same one that he met when he was dealing with the Bei family in Country R. So was she acquainted with him? Since she wore those clothing before it went on sale, clearly she must know him to endorse the clothes.
Stella also endorsed some jewelry not too long ago, that company is connected to the main branch of the Bei family.
Then the occasion at the premiere. After Blair came into contact with Stella the cameras shut off. Sure, someone was testing him. But what if that wasn't all? Stella appeared completely fine after intaking drugs that should make a person extremely tired and submissive... Something Blair was known to use, but Stella was completely fine?
Mou felt he had a good idea on the identity of Stella. But he still had many unanswered questions. Why did the Bei family come back to him with information about her? But then discreetly tell him that she is a target? Is she trying to make him not suspect her? Or is there more going on within the Bei family than he knew?
Mou finished his work on his laptop and noticed the time. Knowing that Lennard and Stella were in separate rooms he decided to have a shower. As he went to sleep with these thoughts in his head...
...............
"Apologies Madam, we failed to locate the target." The large man trembled in fear.
Winoa thought quietly, she was expecting this result to come around again... "She was close to the Guillard family right?" She asked for confirmation.
The burly man gulped. "Yes Madam, the target was seen with them on multiple occasions. They even attended The Fude families wedding that crashed." He gave all the information he knew.
Winoa was left in her thoughts as Campbell came from the side of the hall. "The test subject can't be allowed to have any emotional attachments." He stated, his eyes were cold.
Winoa nodded in agreement. "Indeed, continue the search for the target. In the meantime. Make sure to treat the Guillard family well." Winoa ordered. Leaving the burly man slightly confused.
"Are we permitted to kill?" He asked, he wanted to end this line of dangerous missions sooner than later...
Winoa thought about for a second, until she brought her gaze over to Campbell in the darkness.
"Get rid of the older one. He will be a spanner in our plans." Campbell advised, he also had some plans for the younger Guillard brother...
Winoa nodded. "You heard it." She coldly ordered, as the burly man ran to execute the mission.
