POSSESSIVE 21: Knight Velasquez

CHAPTER 20

CHAPTER 20

"YOUR HIGHNESS," salubong sa kaniya ni Arturo ng makapasok siya sa pribado nitong eroplano na sasakyan patungong Japan. Komportable itong nakaupo habang nakatingin sa kaniya. "Need anything, your highness?" Arturo sounded calm but Knight knew better.

His presence makes Arturo nervous because he cannot comprehend him most of the times. And this is one of those times.

Kalmadong umupo siya sa katabi nitong upuan. "A friend told me something... about you knowing my girlfriend."

Arturo took a deep breath. "Your father still doesn't know and I'm not planning on telling him—"

"What do you take me for, Arturo, an idiot?" He asked calmly before glancing at him, "I apologize in advance, Arturo, I don't think I can let you leave the country breathing."

Tumiim ang titig nito sa kaniya. "I'm your father's spy. If something bad happens to me here, you will answer—"

"Accident happens all the time." He said with a shrugged.

"You will go against your father just because of a woman?" Arturo spat those words like it's disgusting.

A cold smile stretched his lips as he looked at Arturo, "yes, I'm doing this for a woman. My woman. I promise myself that no harm shall befall on my beloved and you are a threat, therefore, you should be eliminated before you became a problem." Mabilis na kumilos ang kamay niya para kunin ang folding knife sa bulsa saka malakas iyong ibinaon sa dibdib nito. "Sorry. Nothing personal."

Napahawak si Arturo sa kamay niyang nakahawak sa kutsilyong nakabaon sa dibdib nito at ilang beses na nangisay ang katawan bago tuluyan itong nawalan ng buhay.

Malakas niyang hinugot ang kutsilyong ibinaon niya sa dibdib nito at tumilamsik ang dugo nito sa harapan.

Kalmado pa rin siya habang nakaupo at kinuha ang panyo sa bulsa niya saka ginamit iyon para linisin ang folding knife niya bago iyon ibinalik sa bulsa at ang kamay naman niya ang sunod na nilinis bago kinuha ang cellphone at tinawagan si Cloud.

"Cloud, I'm at the Airport." Aniya habang nakasandal sa kinauupuan. "I made a little mess."

Alam niyang nakuha agad ni Cloud ang ibig niyang sabihin. "Wait for me there, my Lord."

"Thanks." Aniya saka pinatay ang tawag saka tinawagan si Shun. "It's done. I made a little mess, it can't be helped."

"I'll clean up the footages." Kaagad na sabi ni Shun, "I'll edit some footages to cover your tracks from your father. Sino ang gusto mong ilagay ko na pumatay sa ispya ng ama mo?"

"Pick anyone in the Triad. I don't care."

"On it."

Pinatay niya ang tawag saka kampanteng nanatiling nakasandal sa kinauupuan sa loob ng eroplano habang hinihintay si Cloud.

For the first time, he doesn't regret ending a life. Maybe because his purpose was different from his previous kills. When its to keep the people he loves safe, he never regret anything.

Napatingin siya sa screen ng cellphone niya na hawak ng nabuhay iyon at nakatanggap siya ng text message.

It's from the same unknown number who called him earlier.

'You're not a dog after all.'

Tumiim ang bagang niya. "When it comes to my woman, I'm a fucking Lion, not a dog you motherfucker."

Napabaling ang tingin niya sa pintuan ng eroplano ng may pumasok doon. Si Cloud. Humahangos ito at kaagad na tumuon ang tingin kay Arturo na katabi niya na wala nang buhay.
