Capítulo 10: Blood Brothers

Tyrone didn't leave Devon's residence as he waited for Kiran to join him for the ride back to the agency. When Kiran arrived, the CEO glanced at Tyrone as he leaned back tiredly against the backseat of the car with his friend.

"Let's have dinner and grab of drink. It's my treat. What do you say?" Kiran offered.

Tyrone chuckled, "Are you pitying me now since I got fired on my first day of work? You sound like someone who's trying incredibly hard to comfort his heartbroken girlfriend."

Kiran chuckled with a shrug, "Yeah… I feel bad for you, man. You're really jinxed, so let me treat you tonight."

Tyrone only shook his head. Kiran insisted, however, and told their driver to head to the nearest five-star restaurant. Though they did not share the same blood, they were blood brothers. The two grew up together, and Kiran owed his life to Tyrone, who had saved him numerous times. This was the least Kiran could do for him, just like how the latter always looked after him.

Suddenly, Kiran's mobile phone rang, which he quickly answered. Tyrone silently glanced outside of the car window while his friend engaged with what seemed to be another client on the phone. The man's thoughts drifted towards the woman from last night. When he closed his eyes, all he could imagine were those foxy and beautiful eyes.

It wasn't a surprise that every man fell their feet with her beauty, just as Mr. Devon had from last night. And yet, it turned out that the woman who appeared as an unimaginable beauty was actually everyone's nightmare...

The infamous blood-eyed hunter of the underworld.

Tyrone gulped and recalled how her hot body pressed against his, her intoxicating scent still lingering on him… Tyrone inwardly cursed as he shifted on his seat and rubbed the back of his neck.

"What's wrong? You only do that whenever something bothers you. Is this about a woman?"

Kiran finally found an opportunity to tease him. Tyrone was not the type to socialize. And frankly, Kiran never saw him with a woman. It made last night's turn of events really interesting.

"The stripper? The blood-eyed woman, right?" Kiran continued with an amused grin. "I've heard a lot about her, so consider yourself and Mr. Devon lucky to have the privilege of that woman sitting on your lap. That, and the fact that you're both still alive after that…"

It was the first time he witnessed Tyrone being bothered by a woman. He couldn't help but get curious about it.

"Stop with your nonsense," Tyrone scoffed. "At this rate, I'd rather go back to my place than to eat and have a drink with you."

"Fine! Mouth zipped!" Kiran chuckled. "By the way, the call I got now is for you actually."

Tyrone's forehead wrinkled, "For me?"

"Yeah," Kiran affirmed. "The client specifically asked to meet with you tomorrow."

"Who?"

Tyrone wondered who exactly wanted a specific security service that requested for him specifically. Last night seemed to just be a testimony of his 'incompetence'. So who in the right mind would seek him out?

"Mr. Yun of Yue Group." Kiran answered.

"Yue Group…"

Tyrone whispered with a creased forehead. He knew the group well. Who wouldn't be? The Yue Group was a multinational manufacturing conglomerate composed of numerous affiliated businesses. The group was notable as the world's largest information technology company, consumer electronics maker, and chipmaker.

"Funny, right? You just started to work yesterday under the USA (Umbra Security Agency). How come you're already famous after a single night?" Kiran asked. He felt something off with the sudden call from Mr. Yun.

"Something's fishy about this. Then again, it's still up to you. Do you want to meet him tomorrow? I'll have my secretary give Mr. Yun the answer."

"You're the Boss," Tyrone replied with a smirk. "You should be the one deciding on this."

"You know you're an exceptional employee. You're like a brother to me. So tell me what you prefer," Kiran commented. "Do you want me to investigate more about it? Let's make sure it's safe first. I've heard a lot about Mr. Yun, and they are far from positive, especially now that he took over the entire group while the Chairman was ill."

"I will meet him, Kiran. Let's hear what he has to say," Tyrone casually commented before he turned his gaze back at the car window. "Hopefully, it's a good offer. Then maybe I might probably take the job." Tyrone added, "It's probably connected to last night's incident. Then again, I'm not so sure. It'll be better to meet the man first and hear him out."

"Alright then. I'll inform my secretary to call Mr. Yue's office and tell them that you're available to meet."

Once Kiran finished sending his secretary a text, the young CEO turned to his friend with an impish grin, "So about the blood-eyed hunter… Is she really that hot? I mean, you look so bothered after that incident last night. Do you think you'll meet her again? You need to get laid at this point… Or you'll end up fantasizing about it even in broad daylight."

Tyrone glared at Kiran, the latter eventually snorting and raising his hands in defeat. "Fine, I'll stop already. Sheesh. You're such a prude. You'll never get a girlfriend if you keep this up."

"Do you really think I have time for such things?" Tyrone snorted. "If I were to have a partner, she'd probably want to take too much of my time or get worried about my job as an agent. It's already enough that I have you bugging me, Kiran."

"Are you comparing me to a girl?" Kiran chuckled.

"Who else would take me out tonight for a 'date' to cheer me up, except for you?" Tyrone rolled his eyes.

"Haha, very funny. I guess your future girlfriend needs to match your abrasive personality."

"I doubt that there's anyone who can."

Tyrone said, but his thoughts immediately shifted back to the huntress from last night. Not only was she capable of getting underneath his skin, but she was also beautiful and powerful.

"Oh, wait… You know that Yue Group has an heiress, right?"

"Do you think Mr. Yun will ask me to take care of the heiress?" Tyrone lifted a brow.

"Maybe, but I remembered something! One of our clients in the past was talking to someone over their phone. I eavesdropped on the private conversation… and realized that they suspected the heiress of Yue Group of being the blood-eyed hunter. Well, it's not proven yet since the heiress has hazel eyes, not red. But what if she was wearing contact lenses…" Kiran speculated.

"We will just have to talk about it tomorrow after meeting Mr. Yun," Tyrone replied.

"But it'd be quite a coincidence if the rumor turned out to be true. Is this fate finally working out in your favor? Getting fired by Mr. Devon must be a gift."

Tyrone shook his head and fixed his eyes outside the window. It was dark already, and he bet the woman was already out again hunting for her prey.

Kiran could be correct, and he might find out more about it once he meets Mr. Yun tomorrow. But if possible, he would not want to encounter that woman again. She reeked of trouble and tangled messes. Being in a complicated situation was the last thing he would want at this point.
