Zake immediately went closer to the woman but when he recognized who it was, he paled.
It's the woman from the airport! - he thought.
"What happened here?" his voice raged.
He walked over and directly picked Maezhei up in his arms. He smelled the strong scent of blood at the same time, he smelled a hint of a subtle fragrance, not the pungent smell of a perfume, but more like a flower that had bloomed on a glacier.
Everyone didn't know how to respond. They are still dumbstruck of what's happening.
Zifan Deguzs coming out of nowhere calling the big white tiger "Little White" and now this handsome cold guy in front of them who has a powerful presence of a person who always found himself in top positions and the murderous aura that could only be exuded by someone who experienced thousands of battles suddenly oozed right out.
"President Deguzs, this is..." The owner of the bar had a face full of bewilderment, and was failing to understand the current situation.
What the hell's happening here?! - he asked himself.
Zake gazed around the place then swept across the security guards who was holding a gun, their faces was pale white and completely showing guilt. He then looked at Zifan who was also stunned upon seeing the woman and the blood on the floor.
"You better give me an explanation about this." His voice thundered then he stormed outside, where a black Maybach Exelero was waiting.
After he was gone, people started talking.
"OMG! Who was that guy just now?"
"I-If I'm not mistaken, he's Zake Deguzs..."
"He's what?!"
"Did you just say Z-Zake Deguzs?!"
"The eldest son of the Deguzs Empire and the CEO of the Deguzs Corporation?! Are you kidding me? How can you know that?? Not all people have seen his face!"
"Yes, because he kept an extremely low profile and rarely revealed himself in a public occasions so, only few people know him, specifically those people in the business world. I met him once when my parents attended a launching event in South Korea."
People gasped after hearing this especially Silica who was still astonished. She know the name Zake Deguzs, who wouldn't? He's a Deguzs! But she's not familiar with what he looks like.
Zake Deguzs... she said at the back of her mind.
On the other hand, Dylan was also stunned seeing Zake Deguzs. He can recognize him because he met him once in a Business Banquet.

Kingstown Hospital.
By the time Maezhei woke up, it was already the next morning.
The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was the man sitting on the chair at the window opposite her.
His slender long legs was crossed. He was wearing a fitted tailored suit outlining his broad shoulders and slim waist, with the white shirt buttons meticulously fastened up to his collar. He was bathed in sunlight, but his body appeared to be shrouded in an ancient frost.
He's wearing his indifferent expression.
Zake have detected her gaze, and abruptly lifted his pair of ocean-deep-eyes at her. His cold gaze seemed to pierce through her.
Maezhei decided to join the battle and stared back at him but that line of sight was too aggressive, like a sharpened scalpel, peeling her inch by inch, giving her the creeps. She averted her eyes.
Wait, he seems familiar. Where did I saw him? - she asked herself.
"Excuse me, Mister, how did I get here?" she asked with an anxious expression. He doesn't know the man and she's uncomfortable with the way he stare at her.
And... gosh! Where is Kath?!
She tried to sit but her right arm hurts then she suddenly remember that incident in the restaurant.
"Oh right! What happened to the cute tiger? What did they do to him? Did they hurt him?"
Cute tiger? - he thought.
Zake slightly raised his brow from her description of Little White Tiger. This is his first time to hear from other people that Snowy or Little White is cute.
"You mean Little White?" his voice was cold.
"Yes! So, his name is Little White? Is he yours?" she asked.
Zake nodded.
Maezhei's eyes shone, "So, where is he?" she said while scanning the room.
Zake was about to answer her when the door open. Maezhei shifted her gaze to the door and her eyes widen when she saw who just open the door.
Zifan?! - she thought. Just then, she realized something. She covered her mouth using her hands then looked at the cold guy whose staring at her right now.
Oh sh*t. He's Zake Deguzs! The reason why he's familiar! - she cursed inside.
Gosh, how could I not recognize him?
"Hi, miss beautiful!" Abruptly, a large face rushed over towards her, causing her to retreat backward until she saw the man's face and stopped, "Z-Zifan,"
"The one and only," he said then gave her a wink.
"Zifan," suddenly they heard a cold voice. They looked at Zake's direction and saw his dark expression. His jaw is clenching.
Seeing his brother dangerous gaze, Zifan gulped and quickly get away from her.
Damn. What's with my brother? He was glaring at me as if he wants to strangle my neck! - Zifan said on his mind.
He cleared his throat, "I brought the files you asked."
Zake took the folders he handed, "You can leave now," he said expressionessly, not giving any glance at his brother.
But Zifan didn't listen to his brother and instead he went to the sofa and seat there comfortably.
