29 Arch Clan

Outside the colonial mansion was hidden in the cover of the pine trees. The large house was bricked-faced, CCTV cameras all around the villa and trimmed in white, with ten four-story columns and five upper balconies. Arched windows, nine-foot, French style, front door. From Pine trees to the front door, quarter-mile driveway, pass the heavenly guarded gates. Men in black suits, with massive load with guns as they make their rounds.

The blissful mood of the afternoon was gone. Inside a study office, windows facing the pines trees on the other side of the mansion. A room was full of books, the antique worth of decades. An older, mostly white-haired gentleman sat behind a tan desk as he pays close attention to the conversation between his financial advisory and lawyer who sat down on a tan leather couch. A knock interrupted their conversation as the door to the study room opens, and young man tall muscularly with a scar on his left eye walked in carrying an enveloped. He bows down as soon as he walked into the study room. The old man had a casual gait halted for a few seconds as he quickly conceals his surprise to see this young man. So as the two gentlemen. With a nod that seemed to understand, and without any hesitation, they excused themselves as they step outside. And as soon as they walked out, two bodyguards stood in front of the room to avoid someone to eavesdrop the conversation.

"Eagle," the old man said with no sign of curiosity as to why Eagle came to him.

Eagle seemed to bristle at his familiarity . "Master" as he bows down again and then move and stood in front of the desk and gave the enveloped to the old man.

The old man looked at it for a while before accepting it. He opens and read the content, and he immediately throws the document into the fire in the fireplace that was giving the warmth to the raining October afternoon.

"Please sit," The old man instructed

"Is it true, what I just read?" Without taking his eyes off Eagle

Eagle nodded his head, and the old man heart nearly jumped in response to Eagle confirmation. His light brown sprang into view as he starts laughing hectically. He stood up from his chair and moved around the desk and placed his hand on the Eagle shoulder.

"Well done, you made me proud," The old man said to Eagle.

"It is my duty. What should we do?"

"Does any of my family members know about this?" he asked. This time he used his CEO voice as he looks at Eagle.

"NO, my loyalty is with you, you saved my mother live, I will always be in debt to you…."

Eagle reply without breaking his eye contact with the old man.

"If your loyalty is with me, then from today onward, I am not your boss but…"

"Master, no, I do not want to "Eagle cursed as he tightens his hand into a fist and he stood up from his seat.

"Listen to me to Eagle, my throne will soon be taken away from me…. My enemies are not only outsides but also within my family… Therefore, your loyalty should only be to that person, and you no longer a member of this clan and this family… do you hear me?"

Eagle did not like the idea of having someone else sit in the throne of his master, nor serve anyone else apart from his master. But he made a promise that he will follow any decision his master made, and his loyalty and his life belong to him.

"Eagle, I want you to protect that person just they way you did for me, and I want Black Eagles to serve, protect, and be loyal to that one person do you hear me?"

"Yes, master."

"Good, now, used the Ave account and have plastic surgery, make sure nobody in Arch Clan or my family finds out about this person exist, and they should never recognize you or any members of Black Eagles…. From today onward, you and Black Eagles are no longer welcome to Arch Clan. "

"Yes, Master," Eagles said as his tears fall down his cheeks like a drop of rain.

"Thank you very much for all you have done for my family and me…. If I am still alive, we will meet again…" The old man gave Eagle a tight hug "You are more than a bodyguard to me Eagle, you are like my grandson, and I am doing this for your own sake… You will be better safe with that person than with me... Can you tell me? "

Before he could finish his sentences, Eagle knew what his master was asking him as he leans into his ear and whisper, "Your granddaughter name is "Mo Tang."

The document only contain basic information and picture of Mo Tang, her name or where she leaves was not included.

"Thank you... Do not forget, all Black Eagle should get plastic surgery include you too, and only reveal yourself to that person only if it is necessary... You may leave now."

Eagle bow as he wiped his tears and left the study room. The old man made his way to his seat as he picks up a picture of a handsome young man with curly hair holding a tri-breed dog. A drop of a tear fell on the frame, as the old man looked at it "Son, I finally found your daughter, She is all grown up and looked like you except her eyes, but she is beautiful... I promise you I will protect her. And nobody in Arch clan or Zang Family will find out her existences." The old man said to himself as his study door open.
