Devan, Edgar, and Ateez stopped their steps. Waiting for the figure who just arrived.

“EDGAR….” A girl’s scream was heard.

“N-Naila?” Ateez and Edgar glanced at each other, then looked back at the girl.

“Oh my God, what happened to your face, my cousin?” Naila panicked and immediately approached Edgar. It seems Naila is not aware of Devan’s presence in that place.

“Uncle, what happened to Edgar?” Naila asked turning to Ateez.

Leo also came and immediately approached the girl. There was a lot of confusion filling his head.

Claire who was still asleep in the car now slowly opened her eyes. Confusion also filled her head when she saw that there were many people around her, not only that, when she looked to the side, she did not find Devan next to her, and it managed to raise many questions in her mind.

Seeing Naila and Leo’s presence, she opened the car door and walked over. Turns out Devan was there too.

“What’s going on here?” Leo asked.

“Naila, do you know them?” he asked again as he turned to Naila.

“Who are you?” Ateez asked.

As for Edgar, the man was silent. Occasionally he could be heard wincing in pain.

Hearing Leo’s voice, Naila turned her head and looked around her. She took a deep breath, then began to explain it to Leo.

“He is my uncle. My father’s younger brother, Leo. And he is Edgar, my cousin,” she said.

“So that means that your Uncle was the mastermind behind Dave’s kidnapping?” Leo asked.

“No, no. You misunderstood, sir. Everything you say is wrong,” said Ateez immediately.

“Never mind, you can talk about this later. Some things are more important than this,” said Edgar and started walking again, ignoring Naila’s question. The man seemed to be holding his stomach which was still aching.

Naila looked at her Uncle and only got a nod.

“Devan, what’s going on here?” Leo asked, approaching his cousin.

“Is this Zervanos headquarters?” ask again.

“We need to move,” Devan replied, giving an answer that didn’t match Leo’s question, making the man put on a frown.

They all then moved again, getting into their respective cars.

“It turns out that you’re awake, honey,” said Devan welcoming Claire, grabbing the woman’s arm, and holding her very gently.

“What’s going on here? Where’s Dave? And who are they?” asked Claire in succession.

“I’ll explain later on the trip, honey. Now we are going back to the car, “said Devan.

Claire didn’t respond anymore, her eyes were busy paying attention to the people around her.

“Where are we going?” she asked. By now, they were already in the car, leaving Zervanos headquarters.

“What about my son?” she added again.

Hearing that, Devan took a deep breath and then began to patiently tell everything to his future wife.

After hearing Devan’s explanation, without Claire noticing, tears rolled down her cheeks.

“Calm down, honey. We’re going to find Dave as soon as possible. Trust me,” said Devan trying to calm his future wife.

Currently, they are moving towards Bondi beach. After traveling for several tens of minutes, Edgar’s car finally arrived in front of a cafe. There he exchanged cars with the man.

Devan ordered the same as before to his subordinates. Luckily the café there is open twenty-four hours, so they won’t have any trouble checking the CCTV footage in the area.

Devan, Claire, Ateez, Edgar, Naila, and Leo all gathered in one place. They are waiting for the results of the inspection of the CCTV recordings.

Since earlier, Edgar has been silent. Looks so scared to even make a sound.

“So the gangster leader Zervanos who was behind Dave’s kidnapping is your cousin?” Leo asked Naila. Wanted to confirm what was on his mind.

“And this old man is your Uncle?” he added again.

“His name is Ethan, Leo. Uncle Ethan is my father’s younger brother,” Naila replied.

“Is that true?”

Naila immediately nodded.

“Honestly, I’m still confused about what happened. This is also a coincidence that I never expected,” Leo said, his eyes darting between Edgar and the middle-aged man named Ethan.

While on the other hand, Devan who was among them was silent. Since earlier, the man just stared at the cafe door. Hoped that his men would soon emerge from there.

While Claire, the woman was silent with a gloomy face.

Ateez cleared his throat softly when he heard Leo and Naila’s conversation.

“How is your father? He hasn’t visited me in a long time,” Ateez asked Naila quietly.

“My father is fine, Uncle. My mother too,” Naila replied, she then looked at Edgar.

“Uncle, may I know what happened? and who hit Edgar so badly injured like that?” she asked.

“Ateez’s reflex looked at Devan. He didn’t know whether to answer his niece’s question in front of Mr. Devan or not. He was confused because he felt that this was a little impolite.

“I’m fine, Naila. Do not worry. It’s just a small wound, it will heal soon,” said Edgar when he didn’t hear any answer from his uncle.

“This was just a minor accident. You don’t have to worry about me,” he added.

Hearing that, Naila nodded. “To be honest, I still feel that this incident was like a dream. I neglected to take care of Dave, and the man who kidnapped him was also my cousin. All of this is beyond my expectations,” said Naila.

Previously, she was in disbelief, when she heard the name of the gangster Zervanos. She was already feeling anxious, but she did not immediately decide on making sure properly, that the Zervanos that Devan was referring to were gangsters led by Edgar, her cousin. Everything became clearer when she arrived at the man’s house earlier.

As for Leo, the man started to guess. With Devan’s nature, he knew very well who injured Edgar so badly like that. No, he would have done the same if Edgar weren’t Naila’s cousin.

But there was one thing that confused him, and this was also felt by Naila.

Why did Uncle Ethan and Edgar look so scared of Devan? Even the middle-aged man treated Devan with respect as if he didn’t care about his nephew’s condition.

They were both very sure, that before their arrival. Something big must have happened. But what it is, they don’t know.

“Then where’s Dave, Edgar? And what are we doing here? Checking CCTV? Did Dave run away from you guys? Or did something happen again?” Naila asked while looking at Edgar.

To be honest, feelings of guilt filled her even more.. However, she tried not to show those feelings.
