Welcome to London
At the exact Saturday night, kumpleto silang siyam na pumunta ng airport gamit ang private jet na iniutos na gamitin ni Nathaniel para sa kanila. After 13 hours and 5 minutes of flight, they reached their destination. Stefan held his wife's hand the whole time. It's like he doesn't want to let go of her. Zavie smiled as she always felt safe whenever he held her hand.
Nakaabang mula sa labas ng airport ang mga tauhan na susundo sa kanila papuntang mansyon ni Nathaniel. Nang makita na nila ang mga ito na nakaabang, agad nila itong nilapitan. Those men take a bow to them as a sign of respect.
"Welcome to London, sir Stefan," Lux greeted. Stefan just smiles a bit.
"Thank you."
"Please, kindly get in." He opened the lamborghini's door. Zavie hesitated to enter but Stefan quickly assured her.
On the way to Nathaniel or known as Gideon, agaw atensyon ang modelling commercial sa mga building. Agad iyon napansin ni Zavie.
"I know her. Siya yung inoffer sa'yo ng client mo, di ba, Stefan? Well, I can say she's gorgeous." Napahinga nang malalim ito saka pinisil-pisil ang kamay niya.
"Yeah, right. She is. But your beauty is more stunning than hers so don't bother telling that to yourself. No one compares your uniqueness, got it? You are the only woman who owns my heart and I only lay my eyes on you, Zavie. No one else does." Hindi niya maitago ang kilig dahil sa sinambit nito sa kanya. Pakiramdam niya maraming naglalarong paru-paro sa tyan niya. Well, he didn't fail to do so.
"You are as well, Allison." Nagloloko ang ngiting ani Luther dito. Natawa naman sila ng tarayan lang ito ni Allison.
"Shut up. I don't need your compliment, Luther. Baka gusto mong ihulog kita dyan sa bintana? I shouldn't bother you to come along with us, jerk." Humalukipkip ito at umusog ng kaunti mula sa kaibigan.
"Don't. I'm a good boy, you see?" Tsaka ito nagpuppy eyes subalit nagulat sila ng sapakin ito ni Allison sa noo. Napanganga ito sa gulat.
"Psh. Panget mo kaya manahimik ka na lang. Nakakairita kaya," ani Allison. They all chuckled.
"You both look cute. Perfect to be a couple," pang-aasar na sambit ni Darius.
"Hey. Stop it, Darius. Bata pa yang kapatid ko. Right, Allison?" Pagsaway ni Zavie dito.
"I'm not a baby anymore, Ate. I could kill this jerk beside me if I wanted to." Napaismid si Luther.
"Tsk. Should I be worried about that? I've known you, Allison. Kaya imposibleng patayin mo ako," pagmamayabang nito kaya nakatanggap na naman ito ng suntok.
"Do you want more punch from me until you lose your breath or you want this gun para deretso na?" Agad na itinaas ni Luther ang dalawang kamay bilang pagsuko dito.
"O-Okay, okay. Calm down. I'll shut my mouth. But I still like you," he whispered the last words kaya akmang sasaktan na naman siya ni Allison.
"Come again?" Mabilis siyang umiling-iling tsaka tumahimik na lang.
"Sadista ka ba, Allison? Kawawa na iyang si Luther oh. Puro pasa na mula sa'yo," ani Raven.
"I'm not, really. Tanging kay Luther lang. Kaasar kasi eh. Psh!" Napasimangot na lang si Luther na parang bata na inagawan ng kendi. Cute, sambit ni Allison sa isip pero hindi niya iyon ipinahalata.
Mahaba ang byahe papunta sa mansyon ni Gideon. Habang tumatagal, padilim nang padilim ang daan papunta doon. Zavie, however, got goosebumps as she stared outside the window.
"Are you sure this is the right way for your grandfather? This is too dark and absolutely far from the city," Zavie commented.
"Don't brood, ma'am. This is the right way there," ani Lux. Stefan tried to help his wife to calm down. After a few minutes, they arrived at the secret tunnel all the way to the secret mansion of Gideon. Lux guide them inside. This is the first time Zavie got stepped foot at the biggest mansion she had ever seen. She roamed her eyes around it that amazed her.
"Where is he?" Stefan asked.
"At his office, sir. He stayed there the whole day, waiting for you to arrive." Stefan just nod. Kumatok muna si Lux bago buksan ang pinto ng opisina nito.
"Sir. They're here," he informed him. The man turned around while he sat at his swivel chair. He put his hands together as if he was thinking something before grinning.
"Finally, my grandson. It's been a long time since we saw each other again. Come here, all of you." Gideon grinned as he stood up. Stefan firmly holds his wife's hand.
As they approached him, he suddenly hugged Stefan. Napangiti si Zavie dahil dito. Napansin ni Gideon na may bagong kasama ang Golden Knight Sparrow kaya kumalas na siya sa pagkakayakap sa apo.
"Anyway, who's this gorgeous woman beside you? She seems familiar, isn't she, grandson?" Stefan smiled at him widely as he proudly introduced his wife to him.
"Grandfather, this is Zavie. My beloved wife," he introduced. Her heart fluttered as she gave the old man a sweet smile.
"How about that man? Who is he?" Turo nito kay Luther.
"Lazarus Cleodore Paterson, sir. Just Luther," pagpapakilala nito. Tumango-tango si Gideon.
"Well then. A new members. Glad to know that. Kakailanganin talaga natin ng mga bagong miyembro dahil lalong lumalakas ang kampo ni Cleo Amazon. By the way, have you tell them about the training, grandson? I hope they're aware of it."
"I'm sure they are."
"So, since everyone is here. I want you to meet my trusted personnel, Lux Caspian Dagger. His name Gavin is known here. He'll help you completing the two months training then after that, you may go back to your country. I'll just inform you if something happen here, alright? Now, let's see. Lux?"
"Yes, sir?"
"Accompany them to their respective guest rooms then tomorrow morning we'll make a plan for the beginning of their training," Gideon ordered. Lux just nod as he accompanied them.
"Uh...Gavin? Can I accompany Allison to her room?" Pagbibirong saad ni Luther. Inis na lumingon sa kanya si Allison at dali-daling hinila ang tenga nito. Malakas siyang napaaray kaya nakuha nila ang atensyon ng ibang mga kasama.
"You want to accompany me or you wanna die? Sisiguraduhin kong hindi ka makakasama bukas sa training namin, Luther," pagbabanta nito sa kanya. Maluha-luhang sumuko siya dito.
"I think you got the final answer from her," Tobias teased as he chuckled.
"Tss. Basta. I'll make sure someday we're gonna share one room together, Allison."
"Ihuhulog kita sa kama tsaka sa bintana. Doon kita patutulugin," ani Allison bago dumeretso na sa pansamantalang kwarto nito.
"I told yah." Tobias tapped his shoulder as he just sighed. Napangiti na lang siya. He really admired her even though they were like cats and dogs.
