Chapter 18
Keith was waiting for Zachary to reply. He looks again at his phone to check if Zachary already replied but someone is calling. He stared at his phone before he answered.
"Hello?" But there's no one talking from the other line which makes him raise his eyebrow.
"Hello? Who's this?" Keith asks with a serious tone.
"I just want to warn you, in this world no one you can trust." In a dim room, someone is tapping his finger on the table.
"What are you talking about?!" Keith shouted he hated any prank call.
He was about to end but that person spoke again "To make it short I know all about you..." The person smirks. Keith, just frowning, keeps receiving some messages from anonymous people but this is the first time he has received this kind of call.
"Fuck off!!!" Keith shouted when he looked at his phone the call had ended already. He throws his phone to the sofa in his office while clenching his teeth.

While Zachary was driving, Kaizer suddenly looked at him. "Brother, are we lost?" He asked when he felt that Zachary stopped from driving.
"No. Stay here okay? Just play with my phone and don't ever go outside until I come back," Zachary said in a serious tone. There's a reason why he said that.
"Why?" He was confused but this time Zachary finally looked at him and patted his head to make him feel at ease.
"I think my car has been damaged so I will fix it. Stay right here," Zachary said before he held Kaizer's hand and put his phone in his palm.
"Ok~," Kaizer said and held the phone properly.
Zachary opens the door of his car and walks in front of his car, he can see a group of men standing there and this is the reason why he left Kaizer inside.
He stopped the car earlier because these guys were blocking the road and it looked like they didn't have a plan to step aside to make them pass. Zachary doesn't have any choice but to talk to them. "What's the matter?"
They looked at each other before one of them said "Who gives you permission to come here on this road?" Zachary walked in front of his car and leaned his hand there. Although he could feel it was slightly hot because they were staying there for a minute, he didn't mind at all.
"The other road is close so I pass here but we couldn't leave because you're blocking the road," Zachary said with a calm voice. The four guys' eyes glare at him but Zachary just shrugged and showed them that he's bored.
"But when someone enters this way there's no one who can leave unless you're dead." Zachary smiled at them but he didn't answer. He just sat in his car that's made their leader clench his fist while his teeth were gritting.
"How dare you ignore us!" Their leader shouted but Zachary glared at them and the other boys felt their bodies froze when they saw his smile change.
"This road is not yours, why should I get any permission from you?" Zachary put his right leg to his left lap. Zachary didn't know that Kaizer was looking at him inside the car, he was just quietly watching his brother talking to the 4 people outside.
Without any warning, they ran toward Zachary's direction and tried to smash the thing in their hand. Zachary stays calm. He just raises his leg to kick the boy who wants to hit him with a wood but he makes sure to hit him in the chin. The guy throws it away and the 3 other boys catch him.
"What are you waiting for? Kill him!" When their leader said that they pulled their knife into their pocket and slowly walked toward Zachary's direction, Kaizer stared at him. He is worried that his brother will get stabbed by the boys.
Zachary finally jumps into his car and stands up there. He shakes off the dust on his hand and walks toward them. One guy runs toward him to point the knife but he sidestepped to avoid attacking him and gives that person a punch to his face. The 2 other boys move faster to stab him together but before they can move Zachary already kicks the knife of the other one while he grabs the arm of the other person, twists it and places his hand on the back. After that Zachary kicked his back to the other 3 boys, direction.
He looks at the person about to hit him but he moves back like he is seeing a scary person in front of him.
Zachary looked at their leader, he was still looking at him but he kept his mouth shut. "Are you still blocking my way?" Zachary asked when he was finally in front of that guy.
"How dare you hurt my gang like that? You don't know us!" Zachary didn't bother to argue with that person.
He turned around to look at the 3 people he hurt. 'Did I overdo it? They still look like a kid to me'
"Come right here," he commanded. They obey him while holding the part of their body in pain because of what he did earlier.
"Why y'all are obeying him?!" The leader shouted but his gang didn't answer.
"So you're a gangster?" Zachary asked. All of them didn't answer but Zachary saw something in their leader's clothes and suddenly he smirked, 'interesting.' That's why Zachary got his other phone and typed something there before he dialled Sean's number.
He just waits for a few rings and Sean answers the call. "Yes, boss?"
"Give me the list of gangs that are part of the Yen organization," Zachary asked while looking at the four. When they heard Zachary saying their eyes widened.
" You didn't know them until now? You're the right hand of our big boss in the organization," Sean said. He was disappointed in his boss but his word just made Zachary frown.
"Stop asking already! Just give it to me." Zachary running his patience because of Sean.
"Ok, ok I'll send it right away." He just surrendered before he typed something into his laptop. He's currently inside the room while the other is on the outside doing their things.
A few minutes ago Sean sent him a file. When Zachary saw something he looked in front of him. "You're part of the Yen organization?" Zachary asks, smirking. The four of them look at him, widening their eyes. No one knows about that organization unless you're part of it.
"Who are you?" This time the leader felt something about him that's why he talked more calmly.
"You want to know?" Zachary asked he throw his phone to them to give the files that Sean sent him.
Their expression becomes priceless after they look at the files.
"You're a part of the same organization as me so I keep an eye on you. Now don't block our way!" Zachary grabs his phone from them and turns around to walk toward his car.
The 4 adolescents were still loading, they just came back to their senses when Zachary cars beeped and they rushed to step aside. "Did we mess with the wrong person?" One of them asked.
While inside the car, Zachary felt that Kaizer was still not saying a word.
"Are you ok?" Zachary asked him and put his attention on driving.
"You're the person who hurt them right?" Kaizer asked, Zachary widened his eyes.
"Can you teach me like that brother I want to learn that too," Kaizer said. Zachary look like he's out of word but when he recover, he suddenly smile.
"You're too young for this, I can teach you when you grow up but the things you saw earlier just keep it a secret between us alright?" Zachary said and winked at him.
"Hmm ok, I promise I won't say it to others" Kaizer raises his right hand like he's making a vow.
"By the way brother who are they?" Kaizer asked again. Gilf wants to pinch Kaizer's cheeks because he keeps asking a question.
"They're just being arrogant," Zachary simply said, still his eyes focused on the road.
"You looked so cool earlier. I wish I could do that when I grow up." Zachary shakes his head. He doesn't want Kaizer to make any trouble when he grows up.
"You know even if you look cool, it doesn't mean you can do that," Zachary said. There is something in this world where something cannot be solved using violence.
"But you're doing it right?" Kaizer begins to question him again.
"When you grow up don't dream about this thing because this won't help you in the future," Zachary said. Now he's sighing he was regretting making the scene earlier.
"Then why are you doing it?" He asked with his head tilted, still not understanding what the young man wanted to point out.
Zachary smiles bitterly before he answers."Because I need to....."Download Novelah App
