Chapter 15

The Bodyguards surround her like she was kind of criminal that has gone through investigations but still didn't spill the beans... this... seems... annoying her...

"How long are you gonna stare at me?" He said coldly. It was as cold when he speak to her as Istel. Well, that's too understandable, he only speak with sweet tone when he's with Nilet. No hard feelings, but... man really changed for the woman they like.

Istel bowed, "I am so sorry if I made you too uncomfortable. It was just, I am used to look directly to the eyes of who I am talking to. I won't be here long if you please to understand our situation."

Felix propped his chin. "Situation you mean...??" He then looked at her eyes.

She smiled with her eyes slightly bright, "To not suspect. This is our badge as one of the undercover polices of Lim Empire." She then took out the badge of them all.

He glanced to the ID and lifted a brow. "Police... of Lim... Empire.. hmm.." He began pondering then rested his right arm on the back of the cushion as he crossed his legs.

"I won't beat around the bush, we're here to catch the thief. I am certain you're aware regarding the robbery case on the day of March 11,2021; around 01:43:56 time."

He touched his chin, "I am unaware."

"..." This man..! Can't he just say 'Yes'??!

Istel sighed and inhaled, "Anyways, you can ask anyone here in your Bodyguards that what I said were all true." She looked around and saw a bodyguard approached Felix whispering something.

He raised his brow again then tapped the table, "... It seems, what you said were right. Continue." He said with his hand inviting me to continue my speech. Argh! This man! I don't know why I have madness over him... when he totally didn't do anything wrong... oh well.. ehem.

"Yes, we were tricked therefore we need to chase him all the way here. He has many acquaintances when he stole the Jade Bracelet. Thus we were focus on the bigger side than on smaller side. Fast-forward, one of my fellow undercover police saw him and we chased him.

Unfortunately, he went to the wrong door." She said then gulped. Her throat was already dry.

He linked his arms then look at the table seemingly mesmerizing. She was fascinated how could he do that effortlessly. "... Hmm... interesting... continue.."

Istel was baffled, continue? It's the end eh...

"When we're chasing he went to the wrong door which lead to your party. On behalf of him, we'd like to say sorry for bothering." She said then bowed.

Felix leaned on the chair. "If what you said you are one of the undercover polices, then... who are you? Your real name?" He looked at her darkly.

She wasn't expecting he would actually asked about it, but it seems there's only one way.

....

....

She bowed, "I oath that I wouldn't show my face to anyone. Please understand, your highness."

He looked away from her. "It seems you're saying nonsense then. If that's so, show me the Jade Bracelet, right now, right here."

As soon as she heard him, she... went speechless. Right! She need to find the Jade Bracelet first! Why did she forgot about that?!

Istel scratched her hair, "... I-I-I am afraid not now. For the time being, we only captured him but the Jade Bracelet wasn't with him. Sorry for neglecting our duties!" She said then kneeled before him.

Felix stood, "Then... find it! If you cannot find it in five hours, I will seek help from other polices." His voice suddenly changed into scary one.

He continued while his index finger pointed to me, "If you're claiming as one of the undercover polices, then why until now, you still haven't found out where he might put the bracelet? Let's see each other after five hours." His voice wasn't the one he used earlier, it wasn't polite... but instead... a one of a frightening voice.

"We're very sorry, your highness. And to ensure that I am saying were full of certainties, our badge should be with you. I wish to see that when we finally find the bracelet." She said then stood up.

He was about to went away when he stopped and looked at her, "If you're late for a second, then expect something will happen to you." He buttoned his coat then went out.

The other bodyguards were around the three, when they saw them finally going out, they bowed frantically.

Istel bowed as they make their way back to the party.

Istel turned around to face them, "We've been threatened. We have to look for the bracelet for five hours. If we're late for a second, there'll be happening something definitely." She said.

She neared to the thief then took off his cap. "Oy, if you didn't stole the bracelet... do you think, your life is a mess now? Tch, let's get out!" She said then lead the way.

They went to the back door, after that they successfully got out of the party.

Jason searched the bracelet anywhere to the thief's body, but no offense, it wasn't there.

Jason kicked the thief to his knee. "Do you think, your life was the only one at stake?! You jerk!" he then kicked his stomach.

William gripped his wrist tightly. " Tell me, where is it?" His tone was just like wind, it wasn't soothing and wasn't scary.

The thief looked up to him smiling, "This man... you're less scary than them."

William didn't blink then smack his head with his hand. "No, you should be scared to me.." He squatted down to face the robber. "Because... I can kill you... right now."

The robber suddenly felt an urge of frightened. He was the most scary here. He was absolutely wrong!!

"Now, where is the bracelet?" Jason was the one who asked. He went near the robber's face then looked at his eyes.

"I... put... it somewhere... easy to find..." He weakly said. The impact of the kicks and the smack were utterly difficult. He was having a hard time now.

"If you want me to tell where it is... then follow me.." He stood up, walked quietly. The four were very alerted. If this man is trying to trick them again, then they don't have choice but to put it with force.

The man glance around, he was certain they are here earlier, he called them earlier to prepare in case the chaser were still there. Now that they are behind him, he must defend himself with them.

He looked down to the four skills. If they can't sense that he was tricking them then what on earth were they thinking?

They went to a dark pathway then the robber stopped looking at them.

"Now where?" Istel asked looking around. Sure enough, he was tricking them. Istel scoffed at him. "Is this how you play a game? Lame." She said facing the group of men behind them.

They were holding that woods for defends. Sucks. Felix only gave them fiver hours, so in that time, they need to take car of all the men involving the robbery.

"We were informed that our leader has been badly beaten up with you guys. Who are you again?" The man in the front asked leisurely hitting his hand with the wood.

Jason tilted his head then clicked his tongue. "We don't want to make this further. We want a calm investigation and a calm ending for this case. We won't hold back if you insist on fighting with us." He said.

William nodded staring at the men in the back. He noticed they were holding guns... Ooh... guns... what a cute propaganda.

The man in front went to the back. "We want to deal it with force. Who the heck are you to chase us?!"

"We're polices." JinJin simply replied with a breath.

All the men laughted at her.

"Polices??"

"Did I heard it wrong??"

"Hahaha... those small humans are capable of making us laugh... Those tiny people!!"

"I want to get that girl on the left side."

William raised a brow. 'On the left side?' Tss... before you even got a chance, fight with me first, I am her boyfriend! He said in his mind.

"Deal with them quickly! Those scumbags doesn't know their places!" The thief said.

They ran fearlessly then aimed to them.

Jason got away by the wood then hit the man's back with his feet. He twirled him around and twisted his arm. The man let out a painful groan and even insisted on fighting with him further.

Jason got his right hand then swung him around making his face crushed with the wall aggressively, it resulted the man to lose consciousness.

JinJin kicked his chin then abruptly went to his back to give him a big big punch to his spinal cord. It sent him flying.

William then took the gun, threw it aside then give him an unexpected punch to the man's stomach. The man let out a cough and even blood flows out. William smirk. He was the one who said he wanted to get JinJin, however, that dream won't ever come true.

Istel split her legs then played with the gun as she shoot the man's knee. The man looked at her madly. He got his gun and shot her but she got away because she bent forward making the bullet hit the wall instead.

She looked at him then threw the wood in front of her to his head. He was dumbfounded at her fast movement and resulted him to knock out.
