Chapter 42 - Offer

Not finding the answer to the question in his head, Axel immediately scooped Zelyn's body into his sturdy arms and carried her bridal style. He saw that the driver had opened the car door and was glaring at him with questions.

"What happened to the lady, sir? Was it motion sickness?" asked the driver who was currently helping the man who was carrying the woman. "Actually, I was worried about stopping here, because according to the news, there are many criminals who like to rob in this deserted area."

Still not answering the driver's question, Axel got into the car, because he had a little trouble supporting Zelyn's body weight. "Gosh, this woman is heavy too." Trying to straighten his body with the position of the woman's lap who was still unconscious.

Axel turned to the man on his right. "If there are criminals who dare to rob, they are tantamount to giving their lives to me! Hurry up and get out of here!"

"Yes sir." The driver immediately closed the door and walked towards the front to get into the car and sit behind the wheel.

The car drove away from the very quiet hilly area, heading towards the location of the hotel which was still quite far away. The winding and uphill roads really really test the adrenaline.

At this moment, netra with sharp irises of Axel intensely stared at the woman on his lap. He could see the sweat that was currently adorning Zelyn's forehead and temples. Moreover, the previously glowing face looked very pale like a corpse and seemed to have lost its aura of life.

With his right hand already holding Zelyn's chest to confirm her heartbeat, Axel breathed a little relieved because he could still feel the signs of life there.

"This woman is a real pain in the ass. If it weren't for the architect, I'd have left her on the street." He grabbed his cell phone in his coat pocket and called Daniel to bring a doctor to check on Zelyn's condition.

"Think of it as my kindness because I haven't enjoyed you. After enjoying you, whether you pass out or die, it's none of my business," Axel said with a smirk and his hand brushed the white cheek of the woman in his lap. "So soft like a baby's skin. Your soft skin will look more beautiful when it's red when you're under me later during sex."

The driver was silent when he heard the vulgar tone of the man sitting in the back seat. Even though he only graduated from high school, he can understand English because he often interacts with foreign tourists.

"This man turned out to be very scary. It was unfortunate that the woman met a man who only wanted to fuck her. May God protect this very good-looking lady. Moreover, she said earlier that she had never kissed at all and her first kiss was stolen by this man."

When the driver was busy cursing in his heart, he really felt very surprised and reflexively stepped on the brakes.

He saw a black Daihatsu Gran Max car suddenly overtaking and stopping right in front of the car he was driving.

"Jesus! What are they doing?"

Meanwhile, Axel who was still on Zelyn's lap, reflexively fell forward because the car stopped suddenly. By holding the weight of the woman's body that was still in his lap, his head now hit the front car seat and instantly left a red mark there.

"You stupid driver!" Axel looked sharply at the driver and he could see that there were several tall, well-built people who had just gotten out of a black car.

He could hear the voice of the man behind the wheel who was already turning to him with a frightened face. "Excuse me, sir. It looks like they are criminals about to rob. What should we do?"

Axel still looked very relaxed and fingered the suit he was wearing, a big smile etched on his face when he found a gun in his inner pocket.

"You just shut up and give what you have instead of losing your life!" sarcasm Axel who started lowering Zelyn's body on the car seat in a sitting position so that he could move freely.

"Okay, sir. I only brought a little money in my wallet. Maybe it's your treasure that they will be after. Especially seeing that you are a foreign tourist who usually carries a lot of money," replied the middle-aged man whose face was very pale with fear. "Hope they don't kill us, sir."

Regardless of the driver's fear, Axel was done with his activities. He looked into the car window, which was knocked by one of the tall, big men.

"Open the door!" shouted the man who was currently wearing a black mask.

Very calmly, Axel opened the door and again, the screaming voice of the man wearing the black jacket was deafening.

"Get out of the car and quickly hand over your bag and all your possessions!" Pointed the knife at the man who had gotten out of the car by raising his hand up.

"You just take everything in the suitcase that is in the trunk of the car," Axel replied, looking at the man in front of him.

He saw that there were four people who did the robbery and had told the driver to open the back trunk. Not only that, the middle-aged man's wallet had also been confiscated.

Axel still didn't move when the knife was at his neck. He could see, two men who were busy opening his suitcase. However, couldn't open it because it was specially made by a famous designer who worked for him and the way to open it was using his fingerprint.

"It can't be opened, Boss!" shouted one of the men who had tried everything he could to open the trunk but couldn't.

"Bring it here quickly! It must belong to this man. Let him open it!" sarcasm the man who was none other than the leader of the robbers and brought the knife closer to the neck of the man who he thought had a handsome face. "Quickly open your very valuable suitcase! You must have a lot of money in it."

Axel just chuckled and didn't feel afraid at all with a knife that might slash his neck at any moment.

"There are indeed a lot of dollars in this suitcase. However, I have an offer for you." He looked alternately at the four criminals who were laughing out loud in front of him.

The four men who had laughed when they heard the words of the man they were going to kill had actually offered something. However, the leader of the robbers was curious about the offer from the man who he thought was on the verge of death.

"Alright, say what your offer!"

"Now you choose to carry money in this suitcase, but can't enjoy it. Or be my footwear, but with a big salary," Axel said with his arms crossed over his chest.

His words just now managed to ignite the fire of anger from the robbers and the man who was the leader pressed the knife even more until it managed to stab the skin of his neck, so that blood came out and dripped down his white skin.
