"Ah, one more sir. Mr. Aaron already knows where we are."
"What did he say?"
"Nothing, sir. He just wanted to thank you for sending so many people to look after Claire and Dave," Hendra replied.
"OK. Continue your work," said Devan then ended the call.
Putting his cell phone on the table in front of him, Devan was stunned. His hands were tightly clenched.
He knew the Javier family more than anyone. He hated that family very much, and it was because of themselves.
Not only that, the Javier family always appears in every problem in his life. Not only Edward and Brian, now even the head of his family stepped in and met his future wife in person.
He didn't know what the man wanted. Wasn't the contest over and Claire was already his fiancé? Then why else would the old man meet them?
His hands were clenched into fists, "It seems that my silence all this time will only make you act more arbitrarily," Devan muttered. His jaw clenched, he had been too kind to that family, but instead of getting a deterrent effect, they became arbitrarily. It wasn't that Devan didn't dare to take revenge against them, it was just that the Javier family didn't come into his view at all.
He never expected something he had never considered so far would cause trouble and harm the people he cares about the most.
"Let's see how far you go, Javier," Devan muttered, his eyes intense. Right now he was very angry.
It didn't feel like time was running so fast, it was now four in the afternoon. After Devan meets some clients, he visits the hotel where Claire is.
Hendra who was relaxing in the hotel basement immediately approached the Ferrari car that had just entered the parking lot. Opening the car door while bowing respectfully. "Welcome, sir," he said.
Devan didn't respond, the man walked towards the elevator without saying a word. Hendra followed him from behind.
"Last time, Mrs. Seira came, sir," said Hendra.
"She is with the big lady," he added.
Devan turned away for a moment.
"They just left, sir. Mrs. Seira and the big Lady brought food and clothes for Claire, as well as some toys for Dave," said Hendra again reporting everything that had happened during the day.
Hearing that, Devan just nodded faintly.
Getting a response like that from Mr. Devan made Hendra shudder a little in horror. Not without reason, because ever since that man's arrival, his aura has been slightly different. The man whose demeanor had started to warm in the past few days turned cold again like this. Hendra knows, at this time Mr. Devan is very angry.
Getting out of the elevator, Devan suddenly stopped his steps and managed to make Hendra who was walking behind him do the same.
"I am ready to accept your orders, sir," said Hendra.
"Call Black Jack, ask them to meet me three days later," said Devan then continued his steps. He didn't care at all about Hendra's expression, which was frozen on the spot.
"S-Sir… Are you going to reveal your identity to them?" Hendra stuttered on the spot. Holding a meeting like that, isn't it the same as if Mr. Devan wants to reveal the identity he has been hiding?
Devan did not answer, the man just stopped his steps for a moment and then walked back. Didn't mean to answer Hendra's question at all.
Black Jack is the name for the top ten mafia groups, they come from various countries. BlackJack is just a nickname. This group is very mysterious and no one knows their true identity, except for one person, is Mr. X, someone who has power over the ten groups, he is someone who formed Black Jack.
The ten groups that are members of Black Jack have their nicknames.
"Araster from Singapore, Red Blood from Thailand, Luckecr from China, Marvori from Malaysia, Ateez from Australia, Lorvenue from the United States, Reveelyx from Italy, Slovenya from Mexico, Izuzu from Japan, Vadellyne from Colombia. The ten groups are under the leadership of someone who has the nickname, Mr. X."
Even so, none of them know who and what Mr. X, their leader looks like. One thing they know is that Mr.X's orders are an obligation for them. Every time they had a meeting, Mr. X always sent three people as representatives for him.
On the black market, Black Jack is very famous. Not only mysterious, but they are also known to be smart, manipulative, and very cruel.
After a few minutes had passed, Hendra was still standing on the spot. She had never expected that facing the Javier family, Mr. Devan would reveal his identity to Black Jack.
Whereas Mr. Devan didn't have to go this far just to face that family. A rough sigh escaped his lips. Seeing the man enter Claire's room, Hendra turned around and returned to the hotel basement.
He immediately contacted Lukman and Deden.
While on the other hand, Devan directly entered Claire's room without ringing the bell. Found his son and his future wife who were fast asleep on the bed, Devan stepped slowly. Then lay down near Dave. Try his best not to disturb their sleep.
His feelings turned warm, looking at Dave and Claire alternately, Devan made a faint smile. 'I would do anything for both of you,' Devan thought then slowly stroked his son's head.
"As long as I'm alive, no one can hurt you," he mumbled again then looked at Claire's face without even blinking.
Being in that position for a few minutes, Devan was suddenly startled by the vibration of the phone in his pocket.
Seeing the contact's name listed on the screen, the man just sighed roughly. Put the flat-shaped object on the nightstand after turning it off.
It is Leo. He didn't know why his cousin contacted him. It wasn't that he didn't want to answer the man's phone, he just didn't want to make any noise that would disturb Claire and his son's sleep.
At the same time, a sounded from between Claire's lips.
"Good afternoon, honey," said Devan and managed to make Claire who was yawning immediately shut her mouth.
