Chapter 35: Aftermath
\'I\'ll just have to do it later on,\' Rachael thought as she entered the car and was soon brought home.
"Father!" Rachael called her father out tearfully when she saw his figure waiting outside the mansion for her. She rushed towards him and embraced him tightly as tears started falling down her face.
"I-I was s-so scared…" She sobbed and voiced out all her grievances to her father who patiently listened to every word that came out of his daughter\'s mouth while patting her on her back.
"I know…I\'m sorry for not being with you. It must have been very hard for you…" He consoled.
Rachael started bawling like a child after hearing those words while clinging to her father. He continued to console her for a while. After a while, the exhausted Rachael was carried to her room by two maids.
When Rachael was gone the countenance of Rachael\'s father, Henry White Heart, turned as cold as an icicle. Johnson, the security head who was standing beside him could almost feel the coldness exuding from the master\'s body.
"By tomorrow morning I need to everything about today\'s incident," he told Johnson and walked towards his room.
"Yes sir," Johnson responded. It was going to be a long time for him.
In the room, Henry\'s gaze fell upon the small family portrait that was sitting on the table right next to the bed. \'I will not let what happened 10 years ago repeat itself,\'
Meanwhile, Jin had returned back to the dormitory along with Vicktor. He met him at the hospital. While attempting to stop the SUVs he had bumped his car onto that again and again and ended up getting wounds from the broken shards of the window glasses.
\'Thankfully, it was nothing major,\' Jin thought. Vicktor too thought the same when he realized that the injuries which Jin sustained weren\'t very threatening.
It could be said that a strong bond developed between the two men after facing such a crisis even though they had known each other for less than 24 hours.
After being treated the two had their meal outside and then returned back to the estate. In the dormitory, a few men who were still awake came to see them. They all had praise for the two individuals.
They praised Vicktor for stopping the men from the two SUVs from entering the mall for as long as possible. Vicktor could only scratch his head in an embarrassed manner from all their praises.
The attention soon shifted to Jin. Expressions of respect and admiration soon overtook the eyes of the men. They all had been informed by Adam on how Jin was caught in a knife fight with three men. They all were shocked at first and couldn\'t believe it but Adam was known for never lying on such matters so they could only believe him.
"We\'ve recruited a very capable newbie,"
"Hah! With what he had done today could he still be called a newbie?"
"Haha! That\'s true. He might even be better than us hahaha!"
The men joked among each other. Someone suggested a party but the idea was soon brought down as they all still had to wake up early in the morning. Everyone soon returned to their rooms.
The night passed,
The rays of the morning sun sneaked past the curtains and illuminated Rachael\'s room.
\'Ugh, it\'s morning already?!\' Rachael thought in annoyance. Throughout the night she was unable to get even a wink of sleep. Her mind was constantly flooded with thoughts related to the events which unfolded earlier.
On how she was being chased by those dangerous men and how the situation which looked anything but promising saw a massive reversal all thanks to a single person.
\'I don\'t even know his name…\' Rachael shook her head to get the thoughts out of her mind and got out of bed. It was time to freshen up as she needed to attend the breakfast with her father like usual.
In Henry\'s office room,
"Tell me what all you have found," Henry ordered Johnson.
"Yes sir," Johnson began speaking and explained all the things which he had learnt the last night after interrogating one of the goons who was captured and also from various other sources.
By the time Johnson finished Henry\'s gaze had intensified.
"The Richard Group you say… I\'ll have to deal with them then," Henry spoke as she stood up. He gestured for Johnson to leave.
It was time for breakfast so he too soon left his office room and walked towards the dining room.
