The BLUE SAPPHIRE
(6. Blue sapphire gem)
•••
"Zayn!!!" Arlon shouted very loudly. His gaze was dazed, the expression on his face that was originally annoyed, now turned gray. His hands had been raised high, ready to throw a punch, a hard fist at the young man who had dared to disobey his orders.
Joy was no longer able to restrain Arlon, let alone pacify his emotions that were about to explode. He was knocked back because Arlon pushed him roughly. The short haired woman cursed in her heart. Very disrespectful, treating a woman is like shooing a street cat out of a trash can.
Zayn immediately dodged as fast as possible when Arlon's hand was at the corner of his eye. His body rolled back and forth to get away from the fast attack. His efforts were indeed successful. However, the situation was getting out of control.
Arlon was furious because his attack missed its target. The man in the hat was out of control. His blood flow seemed to boil, overflowing like a volcano ready to spill its hot lava.
The heated situation didn't necessarily make Zayn shake, let alone run screaming in fear. Not Zayn's name, if you give up before fighting.
"You want this Gem don't you?" That's the first time, Zayn showed the Gem that he managed to steal from The King Hunter Museum a while ago, in front of Arlon and Joy.
He again treated the precious Gem, like a pebble in his hand. Arlon is getting better and mad. The limits of his patience had thinned. Without thinking, he accelerated his steps, his hands clenched into fists, ready to throw a hard punch at Zayn.
Instead of being scared, Zayn smirked. His angry grin made Arlon even crazier.
Zayn caught Arlon's hand while he was still in the air. The caped man's eyes widened. However, he soon controlled his thoughts. Zayn's agility to fend off his attacks, made Arlon gasp and stunned. However, he had to stay focused and alert.
The attacks didn't stop there, Arlon moved his other hand to paralyze Zayn. However, his movements were less fast than Zayn's. The young man's hand, swinging as fast as lightning, hit Arlon's face. The blow was so hard that Arlon's hat bounced back and landed on the floor.
After his hat was opened, the original figure of a man in his forties appeared, tanned skin, 170 cm tall and had an injured left eye. Zayn has only seen Arlon without wearing a head covering.
From Joy's statement, it is known that Arlon's left eye was damaged due to an incident that caused him to lose one of his eyes. That is why Arlon always wears a head covering so that the stitches on his eyes are not known by many people. Except for those under his orders.
Arlon swore in annoyance while holding his sore cheek from Zayn's hard punch, right on the jaw of his cheek.
Zayn smiled triumphantly, satisfied to see his opponent's expression grow gray. Indicates that the attack was not in vain.
"That's pretty good isn't it from me?" he laughed mockingly. "Oh, yes. I should just keep this gem because I'm afraid that this precious Blue Sapphire Gem will be misused by irresponsible parties. Instead of giving it to Big Boss, you can sell this Blue Sapphire Gem or give it to someone else, whose status is higher than Big Boss," he continued while looking for the Gem.
His words immediately received a strong response from Arlon. The accusations that Zayn made earlier, were all just mockery. Want to ignite more burning emotions.
Arlon is no longer silent and patient. His patience had crossed its limits. He gave his order to the two burly men, to attack, arrest Zayn. Either way.
Zayn takes a ready position. Ready to fight, maintain its unbeatable popularity.
His grin was angry, as a manifestation that he was never afraid, even though at this time he was flanked by two men who were bigger than him.
Zayn spun quickly while punching in all directions, in an attempt to bully both of them.
"Come on you guys! I'll show you who's in charge here!" he challenged confidently.
The two of them hit hard at the same time. Zayn ducked in that second too. The attack that came from behind, managed to avoid it.
However, Zayn still couldn't breathe a sigh of relief, because the two men invited Zayn to fight using legs that attacked from below. Then, accompanied by a punching movement at almost the same time.
Zayn was overwhelmed with both of them in one shot. However, not Zayn, if you have to lose in just a few moments.
The three exchanged dozens of moves. The battle was fierce. Zayn managed to master the fight after one man fell due to a hard blow, in the nose.
Fresh blood flowed from his nostrils. The man was blown several meters and lost consciousness, so that Zayn only dueled with one man. This opportunity was not wasted by Zayn.
When the focus was only on the man, from a distance of five meters, it appeared that Arlon had pulled out his firearm. He was ready to pull the trigger. His aim was towards the young man who had dared to disobey his orders.
Joy just watched him from afar. He wasn't surprised at all, on the contrary. Joy had suspected that Arlon would use this cunning method to get what he wanted.
Arlon is still aiming because Zayn's fight with his men is still going on. Until, a hard punch hit the face of his subordinate, who was starting to run out of energy.
Zayn managed to paralyze both of them in a period of more than ten minutes. The young man cursed in annoyance because it took so long to defeat Arlon's men, who he thought were weak, but in fact were quite difficult too.
Before Zayn had realized the situation he was in, Arlon had pulled the trigger.
DOOR ...
The hot lead shot quickly and precisely on one of Zayn's legs, suddenly making the young man wince in the pain in his leg.
Fresh blood flowed from one of the feet that was hit by the hot lead. Before Zayn could act again, Arlon pulled out the culprit again.
DOOR ...
Now Zayn's right arm is the target. His body lost balance. Almost collapsing, but Zayn trying to stay up.
Without realizing it or maybe on purpose, the Blue Sapphire Gem came out of his trouser pocket. Zayn did not pick up the object. Immediately he ran from that place, with his hands and feet injured.
Arlon was about to give chase. However, Joy stopped him. "We'll take care of him later. There are more important things than chasing him. Boss is waiting for the Jewel. We don't have much time, Arlon!"
Arlon snorted in annoyance. Letting go of Zayn just like that, means hurting his own pride. However, making his Boss angry would be a huge disaster for his life.
Like it or not, like it or not, Arlon gave Zayn another chance at life. At least in return for stealing the Blue Sapphire Gem from The King Hunter Museum.
Arlon picked up the precious Blue Sapphire Gem. He put it in the little box he had prepared. In order to preserve the integrity of the Blue Sapphire, Arlon treated the small shiny object with great care. Like taking care of your own wife, so that other men don't glance at her. Eh?
After getting what they were looking for, they immediately left the place. A few minutes later, a helicopter landed in the Harbor.
The helicopter, intended to pick up Arlon and Joy, when the Blue Sapphire Gem was in their hands.
Only Arlon and Joy board the helicopters, while the crew drive the cars that were previously meant to arrive at the location.
As the helicopter took off, Joy saw Zayn's car still parked at the Harbor. In other words, Zayn is still there.
Instantly, Joy became curious. Where did Zayn go after getting two straight shots from Arlon?
'Zayn. Be careful. Hopefully we can meet again on another occasion. Take good care of yourself there.' Joy thought, her eyes still focused on the Harbor below her and slightly hoping, one day, to have the chance to meet Zayn again.
The helicopter has also moved away from the harbour. Even with the two cars parked in front of building number 72.
The question is, where is Zayn at?
Actually, Zayn isn't going anywhere. After getting two shots, he hid on the right side of the building. Because his guard was off guard, it was easier for Zayn to escape.
He was there until the helicopter came. Zayn hid behind the drums while holding his arm which kept bleeding fresh.
"Aaaaaa!!!"
Zayn took out the bullet lodged in his right leg, using a makeshift tool. Namely, medium-sized tweezers that he always carries everywhere. Because the size is only 10 cm by 2 cm wide, making this thing fit in the pocket of his jacket.
Then Zayn took out the bullet lodged in his arm. This time he had quite a hard time because his other arm had difficulty reaching the wound.
With a little effort, the bullet finally managed to get out of his body. Zayn screamed, but not as loud as before.
After that, Zayn took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket. Search for a name stored in his contacts.
[Pick me up at the Harbour. Building number 72.]
[Okay. I will arrive in fifteen minutes.]
[I'll wait ten minutes. Understand!]
Zayn ends the call. Little chuckle, thinking about the reaction of his colleague who he spoke to on the phone earlier.
Surely he was currently grumbling, grumbling because his words were not heard.
Zayn leaned against the wall of the building, then took a deep breath. Closed his eyes for a long time. Throwing away the tiredness that had burdened his mind. While waiting for his colleague to come pick up. The wound he got earlier, made Zayn unable to drive a car like before.
"Arlon. Joy. Good luck there," he muttered, smiling triumphantly.
