Chapter 38

Without wasting any more time, Jin quickly starts the car engine and drive as fast as they can to escape those people who are following them. Jin tightened his grip on the steering wheel while glancing every minute on the rear mirror. Their uninvited guests are still following them. While Jin is focusing on driving, he fails to notice that Himari starts looking for something inside his car.
"Hmm. Not here." Jin heard what Himari said as closed the glove compartment.
"What are you doing woman?!" Jin hissed at her.
"I am obviously looking for your guns." Himari calmly answered while running a hand under the seat. A smile appears on her face when she finally found Jin's gun under it. "Found it!"
Jin click his tongue and decides to focus more on driving. Jin noticed there are three identical cars following them. He squints his eyes while trying to think who among his enemies will try to ambush him tonight. Maybe they are trying to take revenge on him for destroying their business.
Himari also found a small box of bullets under Jin's car seat. Since Jin can still drive his car steadily, she quietly start loading the magazine to its full capacity. After that, Himari inserts the magazine into the grip and closes the slide with a loud click. After preparing the gun, Himari pulls her phone from her purse and dials Akito's number. 
(Miss—)
"We're being followed. There are three identical cars following us right now. Check all the CCTVs and see if you can recognize them." 
(...I understand. Are you safe right now?)
"So far, so good. Apparently, my boyfriend is a good driver. Within seven minutes, we will soon reach the eastern seaport. Do we have some of our men there?"
(There are at least seven of our men patrolling at the eastern seaport tonight.) 
"That's enough. I will open the window so they can see me. After I end this call, tell them to shoot the cars following us as soon as we enter the port. You should also call our men nearby to go to the seaport." 
Himari hangs up the phone without waiting for Akito to respond and puts it in her pocket. She then folded both sleeves of her shirt up to her elbows and pulled her hair back into a high ponytail. After that, she looks at Jin, who is giving him sideways glances.
"Well, you heard our conversation. Go to the Eastern Seaport and open the window on my side so they can see me." Himari commented with a smile. "Whoever they are, those guys really mean business. And I guess we are going to have a blasting party tonight!"
When they are only a few kilometers away from the seaport, Himari checks the rear mirror again before she opens the window on her side. Jin notices several men scattered throughout the port. One of them finally notices Himari inside the car and signals to the others. 
"Miss, this way!" A tall man shouted while waving his arm to get their attention. 
Jin follows the direction where the man is pointing and steps on the accelerator. When they finally enter the seaport, they all hear gunshots behind them. The man who opened the car door for Himari quickly used his body to cover and protect her while directing them to a safer location. Jin pulled the gun from behind his seat and followed them.
"Miss, sir Akito called us and gave an order to bring you to a safer place. Our backup will arrive soon." The tall man said while keeping a protective stance behind Himari.
"I understand. Sorry for the inconvenience tonight, Mal." Himari replied with a small smile on her face. 
"No, it's alright—Argh!"
All of a sudden, the tall man staggers on his step and Himari quickly move to help him. There's a gunshot on his left shoulder. Jin looks around and finds the perpetrator, who he quickly shoots. He delivered a clean blow to that man's torso, causing him to collapse on the ground, bleeding.
"M-Miss, go to the w-white warehouse. Sir Akito g-gave us an instruction to b-bring you there." Mal said while holding his bleeding shoulder. 
"Save your energy and stop talking." Himari ordered then she looks at Jin. "I will be grateful if you will provide your assistance here."
Although Jin glares at Himari, he still helps her carry the tall man by putting his other arm on his shoulder. Just like what Mal told them, they go inside a white warehouse filled with yellow container vans. They open one of the container vans and sneak inside to hide from their pursuers in the meantime. But before they could relax for a moment, they heard another voice call them outside the warehouse. 
"Fujimoto! Come out here! You need to settle your debts with us!" 
"Oh. So it's the furry lions, huh." 
Himari can recognize that irritating voice. Though she already has a guess who are those pests who were following them earlier, they still caught her by surprise with their eagerness to fight the Tigers. Still, Himari can't help but raised a brow when she heard those words.
"The hell is he saying? It's the Lions who have a list of debts to settle with us though." Himari commented. 
"Fujimoto! Show yourself! It is now useless to hide! I know where you are right now!" 
"Hmm?"
Looking down, Himari finally understands what he is trying to say. They did not notice that Mal's droplets of blood made a small trail on their path. If they follow the droplets of blood, it will just lead them to the container van where they are hiding. 
"M-Miss, sorry for being useless t-to you..." Mal said in difficulty.
"Oh, you. If there is a useless person here, that is the rotting old egg shouting outside the warehouse." Himari said before pulling the gun from her pocket. Then she looks at Jin. "Stay here. You do not need to be involved because this is our business. Please take good care of Mal for me, okay?"
"Are you ordering me now?" Jin hissed at her. 
"I guess so. You just got caught up in our chaotic party tonight because we had a date earlier."
"Fucking come out or I will blow up this warehouse tonight!"
"Well, I have to go now."
"M-Miss, no—"
"Fujimoto! I told you to fucking come out!"
"Geez. Calm down, rotting egg."
When Himari slowly reveals herself, she can not help but laugh at Dansel Choi's appearance tonight. Her former ally used to be a man who enjoyed dressing up properly. All of his clothes are up to date, and he despises being behind on fashion trends every month.
But right now, Himari cannot see the fashionable image of Dansel Choi right now. Instead, Himari can only see a man dressed in an old and slightly tattered suit and pants. His hair has grown a lot and his necktie is not properly tied. Still, the anger and hatred in his eyes are very obvious for Himari. So, to add fuel to the fire, Himari gives him a mocking smile.
