Chapter 8

But anyway, its Mamay Lab, got married. Maybe her friend will also find a match one day.

Clear lowered his head and simply looked at her face.

"After that, why don't you have a boyfriend?" its a sudden question.

Bloom laughed and hesitated to look at Clear's face. She knew her answer was a bit funny but that was really the truth and she was serious.

"Of course, somehow I was also hurt by that windy revelation and I was a little scared because I might get lost again, my heart would be fake again. So I said, if it will come, it will come. How about you?"

Clear was stunned by her question. Suddenly its face became serious.

"Like I said, I was single for two years because I was busy with many things."

"What happened to your ex-girlfriend?"

"I killed her."

"What?!"

Clear scratched his nose.

"It was just a joke... I left her because she became unfaithful to me. I caught her in the act. And that's it... But it's over and I don't care about that woman anymore. Let's not talk about her because she is no longer part of my life. She doesn't matter." Clear ignored.

Now she has confirmed that what his younger sister Cassey said is true. Their car stopped next to a restaurant.

"We are here. The owner is my friend, Gin. He is also an agent like me but he is also a chief."

"Uy, exciting." she smiled back.

Because she was excited, she quickly opened the taxi door. BAG! A man fell fast running towards where. It collided with the car door. Bloom was confused and immediately looked at the man with a girl and a boy. She was shocked to see the face of the person she had injured.

"Y-You are the one who robbed me!"

The man stood up in a daze and was about to run away but Clear quickly stopped him, locked his hands and handcuffed him.

"Come to the precinct!" Clear's strong language.

Afraid the man looked at it. The boy punched Clear in the thigh.

"Let go of my Dad!" its bold language.

FGH! A bullet hit the cheek of the man caught by Clear. A riding in tandem approached and shot them.

"Get down!"

The suspect that Clear is holding is the target.

"Everyone, aboard!" Declared by Clear.

He pulled the man and quickly lifted the two children. He pushed them into the car. Bloom bent down and quickly got on the side of the driver-seat. Clear pulled out a gun and immediately exchanged bullets with the opponents. The car door was the shield he used. He aimed the motor tire and the occupants crashed hard. There was a commotion all around.

"Damn!" he exclaimed.

He saw two black SUVs and a white van approaching. Everyone on board was armed. He quickly got into the car and immediately pushed away quickly. He pressed a button.

"Engaging defense mode."

Bloom was surprised to see some buttons appear on the taxi headboard. armed goons kept chasing them and fired shots at them. Bloom and the occupants bowed in the back of the taxi but to her great surprise there was not even a single bullet entering the vehicle. Clear was quiet and focused his full attention on driving.

"Wear a seatbelt, Bloom! And you in the back, hold on tight to those you can hold on to!" its strict command.

A motorbike suddenly appeared next to the taxi and the man on board pointed a gun on Clear. The latter shifted and quickly collided with the motor. He drifted and turned onto the road where there were few cars. The chase continues. Clear pressed a button and the greasy grease spread on the road. Next up were the spikes. Clear drove again and turned onto another road. But they suddenly stopped when they saw a large truck blocking the road and armed men were waiting for them. It looks like they got into a big mess. Clear was about to pull back the car but a black van was blocking it.

"Damn it!" Clear blurt out.

He gripped the 45 calibre gun he was holding firmly. He did not think he would be able to take action early. He looked at the person next to him. It looked like, she was just staring at him the whole moment. He shifted and looked intently at the armed men blocking them on the way. The vehicle is bulletproof. And he can go to the side. The black van did not cover the entire road. They have a way out.

"Hold on tight and we'll go straight!" he announced.

He turned on the engine. He took a deep breath and went! The opponents were shocked by what he did but they still shot them. It's just that the bullets that are hitting the glass just slipped. The gun men slipped away because he was really going to run over them. When they passed them he let out a smoke and he had a button pressed to change the color and appearance of their car. Suddenly a black motorbike with a rider wearing a black jacket with a red X mark on the back appeared in front of them. He knew who it was. It signaled for him to follow. He followed the motor and they went to an abandoned warehouse in the forest. The rider entered the warehouse.

"Let's go down." Clear's command.

Bloom got out of the car immediately. Clear went to the back of the car and immediately pulled the man he was handcuffing. The children with it were afraid that they just followed them. They all went inside the warehouse.

"What have you got to do with this? What's going on?" Clear immediately asked the man wearing a jacket marked X.

He folded his arms and looked carefully at him and everyone. A black handkerchief covers half of its face.

"Before I answer your questions, why don't you release the man you arrested and interrogate him first?" instead is the language of the mysterious man.

"Wait, he robbed me." Bloom said suddenly.

She back away when the mysterious man turn his attention to her.

"Miss... It's not like someone has done such a thing, he's really bad. Isn't he just desperate? If he's really a bad person, why are you still alive?"

Bloom was speechless. She closed her mouth and looked at the man who had robbed her before. Clear’s has a point. Because she was not even hurt. Silently, Clear approached the man he had arrested and removed the handcuffs from his hands. He looked at him puzzled and at his friend.

"Who are you?" afraid of this question.

"We are your allies. The one who arrested you is a law enforcement officer. And I..? You are probably watching the news. I am the vigilant killer X."

The man was dumbfounded and even Bloom was stunned by that revelation. How did Clear meet a wanted man and killer yet? Isn't this a law enforcement officer? Clear laughed softly at his friend.

"You really, you're too straightforward. Hopefully, you were a bit nice in the introduction. You know T- "

"Not my name, Clear. Please, not my name. Just call me X."

"Fine."

"What do we really have?"

X pointed to the man who had robbed Bloom. It held tightly in the hands of the children with it.

"Ask him."

Clear took a deep breath and approached the man he had arrested.

"But wait, Clear. You need to fix some things. It would be better if your girlfriend didn't know anything."

Bloom was puzzled when Clear turn to her. It hesitated to look at her face.

"I'm so sorry, love."

After that, it suddenly handcuffed her. She looked at it in shock.

"W-What does this mean?"

"This is a confidential thing. You're out of this."

Clear covered her eyes with a handkerchief and then put a headphone on both of her ears and she heard loud music.

"CLEAR!" she shouted.

She frowned. Even her own voice, she could barely hear. She shouted loudly. She felt the soft touch of his soft lips on hers. Then he gently hugged her. She suddenly fell silent because of that gesture. Clear turned to his friend X again. They were former comrades in the military and an incident in his life prompted him to become a Vigilant Killer.

"What now?" he asked.

X gently removed the handkerchief covering half of its face. The children and their father were stunned.

"K-Kuya?" unbelievable language of the boy.

"Y-You?!" Mang Abner said in shock.

X smiled at them.

"Sssssshhh..."

Because of that gesture they closed their mouths. Clear laughed. X knew the people he helped. His friend looked at him. It looks like his ready to speak.

"He is Mang Abner, he is a fish-ball seller and I’m his regular customer. He is also a friend. He was involved in an accident, a big mess. A group of syndicates are offering large sums of money to children to deliver illegal drugs to their transaction partner. Unfortunately, Banjo was a bit taken aback by that modus. Just because, as a child... He accidentally lost some of the drugs he would have delivered. The syndicate held him hostage and paid for the drugs he had lost. Mang Abner was forced to do evil so that he could quickly save big money to redeem his son. It was a bit late when I found out so I didn't help them right away."

Clear turned to the man.

"Why didn't you report it to the police?" he asked.

It hesitated to look at his face.

"The people involved are also police... So I don't know where I should go. I don't know who I can trust."

"What happened, Mang Abner?" he asked again.

"Recently, I have accumulated the amount needed to redeem my son Banjo. The problem is, they do not want us to be expelled from the syndicate because we already know a lot. They want me to work with them but I know they will also kill me and my children when I do what they want and I am useless. When I had the opportunity earlier, we ran away. But they still chased us."

Clear nodded understandingly. He could not blame the child if he was dazzled by the money offered by the syndicate. Who is the child who will refuse that job? When you deliver, you have a lot of money. They are victims of the misery that those criminals have taken advantage of. He clenched his fists tightly.

"My mission now is to locate a syndicate that conducts illegal sales of firearms and drugs. They are also involved in kidnapping and carnapping." he said to X.

"Bingo! They are what you are looking for. It's funny that destiny brought us together today. I have the classified information you need. Their cave and their transaction partners. Even the day when their big operation is approaching, I have it. I will help you Men in Action but I have a condition..."

"What condition?" he answered quickly.

"Take Mang Abner away from here. Take them to a safe place. And since you are rich, give Mang Abner a good job and a house as well. And my most important condition, I will take care of the heads of the syndicate. They are just mine. I will kill them."

Clear laughed.
