章節 67: The Brave One (1)
When arriving, Bernardo and his men were already there waiting. The black cars parked lining up in front of the abandoned warehouse.
"You wait in the car. Ben, you stay with her and get the car prepared and ready to leave at any time. "
The boss ordered.
"Yes, boss."
Ben acknowledged. James already got off the car and was waiting to open the door for the boss.
Stefan looked at Wirata for a minute then stepped out of the car without saying anything more.
Bernardo's tall figure wearing a white long-sleeved shirt folded the sleeves up to his elbows. His long legs were in dark jeans. He was leaning against the car hood with his arms crossed. His face had sunglasses on just like Stefan.
Wirata looked at the tall figure of Stefan wearing a black leather jacket and jeans. He was walking tall with his head held up, his broad shoulders straight, looked brave and confident with no fear in his movement.
When Stefan walked close to Bernardo, suddenly, Bernardo swung his fist to his face but Stefan was prepared so he quickly ducked down and sent Bernardo his heavy fist. It hit the American-Italian godfather on his stomach with a heavy sound. Bernardo stumbled back. His bodyguards made the move and ready to jump in but Bernado put his hand up to stop them. At the same time, Stefan sent his gaze to signal his men not to move either.
"How dare you! Stefan! It's so damn your style of dirty work, isn't it?! Stabbing people's back like this!"
Bernardo roared with anger, his two hands clenched tightly on the side of his body.
"Wait a minute, Birdie. I don't mind to punch your bad mouth and kick your badass to start my day. But before getting to it. You tell me first, what happened! "
Stefan spoke out harshly, standing far from Bernardo only 1 meter with his feet parted and his arms crossed, ready to listen with full attention but limited patience.
"You are performing so well. Pretending to be honest when this morning, you, the bastard had sent your animals to burn my pub to the ground!"
"How do you know that it was me?!" Stefan asked and tilted his head with his eyes narrowed.
"The stupid guys that you sent said that you were the one who ordered! "
Bernardo snapped loudly. One quick move, he hurled to catch the neck of Stefan's shirt. Meant to thrash the fist down to his face.
"stop now!"
The female voice rose from behind, causing the two godfathers, including all of the followers, turned to look at her. Wirata saw Stefan being hit, so she quickly jumped out of the car without thinking. And now she was the target of everyone's eyes. But she stood firmly with her head up, tried to hide the fear inside.
"Go back now!"
Stefan turned to look and ordered her immediately. His handsome face looked tense and serious when he saw her not listen but walking toward him. Bernardo raised his eyebrow with a surprise. Released hands from Stefan's shirt collar.
"Stefan didn't do it, Bernardo. I can testify to you. "
Bernardo raised his eyebrow up again. He went back to lean against the car hood like before. Looking at the slim woman wearing a white shirt and jeans with black low heels. She walked to stand beside Stefan.
Bernardo smiled a little. In his heart, he was thinking that this woman was brave. And she was acting like a little deer defending the big lion!
"Aha! ... Today you are even hiding under a woman's skirt, huh?"
The mocking voice said, along with the smile, his words causing Stefan's anger to rise up to the top. He jumped to Bernardo put his fist up to the air ready to crush Bernardo's face but Wirata grabbed his arm to stop him just in time. He turned to look at her with the very dark and unpleased eyes.
"I told you to go back into the car!"
Stefan ordered her again with his brooding expression. He looked at the woman. Was she crazy? Jumped from a car like this! A minute ago he was sure about the situation that he could control but now she was here standing next to him making a face like she wasn't afraid of anything. Bernardo could command his followers to fight at any time but the daredevil woman was standing between two groups of big men without knowing what was going to happen! She was definitely crazy!
"Last night Stefan stayed home all night."
Wirata said out loud to everybody to hear especially, Bernardo. She didn't realize that she also put her hand in his big hand! Stefan looked down then looked up at her face, but then he thought, alright let her do what she wanted and he would punish her later for disobeying his order.
"Even he was at home, but he could have given the order. You better go back to the car."
Bernardo said to her in a smooth tone.
"If he did it, he would have accepted it already. You should know by now that Stefan wouldn't hesitate to announce the deeds he created for you. "
Wirata gave a long statement. She didn't know much about the relationship between these two men but gathered from what she had learned not long ago. Also, she thought Stefan was not a kind of person to do thing quietly so, he wouldn't order anybody to burn anybody's pub without him standing and watching the fun himself!
