Girlfriend Another Level
Protecting Merry

I don't know how long Mr. Ji has been confined to the sturdy Villa with the high level of security installed by Miss Petrov for him, making the man think hard about what's going on out there, even though he has a great fear of Miss Petrov, of course, it is solely because Mr. Ji is unable to control the power that Airyn has, turning himself in and hiding behind her back was the safest move to take, as Mr. Ji had to resort to many measures to secure the weapons he had, while Airyn who has a big influence is a person who should not be aware of who he really is.

Of course Mr. Ji or his full name Jilixing deliberately plunged himself into fooling Airyn into not realizing about the flow of funds that were still flowing profusely under his control, that is the headquarters that stood decades ago with some of the best people who have the ability to make money, he said, where Mr. Ji has the largest group of Hackers under his control and the best achievement of their power is able to hack the world's widest internet system, as well as he also has a mafia group that is quite powerful in some areas, and there is a group of dedicated hitmen under the orders of Jilixing, who is, who would have thought that a man like Mr. Ji with all the high level of social nature, famous for being kind and generous and a man who loves his family and his daughter, has the other side in business.

And he was the one who had been researching Airyn's life on behalf of the person behind the contract that was none other than Zates, as if everything was indeed arranged based on Jilixing's luck, but behind the power he wanted, another reason to defend the base was revenge.

Zaterius, the man who had ruined her life and also made the woman she loved in torment by her ex-husband Griffin. Not only did Miss Petrov get there as the nephew of Zaterius, it also destroyed her economy and humiliated Ji's surname, to the point of playing Jilixing.

At least the grudges that had been buried in increasingly besieged to the surface, as if Jilixing could not hold his patience anymore to the Petrov family, he could not let those people be happy, he said, after all the Petrov family will be destroyed in his hands.

Using James, his stepson, from the marriage relationship between Iriana and Griffin, Jilixing controls the man and fosters a grudge against the Petrov family, Jilixing poisons James' mind with past stories and blames everything that befell James' life on the Petrov family.

When Merry decides to send James to an orphanage they accidentally set up in the interior of a village in ireland, unbeknownst to everyone, James saw Louis Petrov, who is known as Airyn's real father, talking to someone almost the same as himself, even then James could not control the disbelief over the scene, but from behind Jilixing stopped James, and forced the little man to shut up.

From there the poison began to spread to James's mind, Jilixing cast a false story as if he were a victim of two twins in front of James, and also fostered a hatred for those who made his family fall apart, Jilixing casts hatred on those who are like a guardian angel to James but are actually demons that have destroyed the man's life, Jilixing casts a shadow over the wounds James received from Griffin's momentary emotion of torturing Iriana out of disappointment, and also provides visualizations to clarify how her father's dreadful figure was, not only did Jilixing also give James hatred to his own father, so that the one who controlled Griffin all this time was James and the one who controlled James all this time was Jilixing.

At first all his plans went smoothly and everything was so smooth, whether it was headquarters, his personal life, and the power he almost got. But somehow people like Miss Petrov came and broke everything, destroyed the company, destroyed the family and destroyed the good name of the Ji family. With such a huge force of strength to destroy his life and overnight, how could Master Ji fight back.

Although the secret force as well as the headquarters that were under his control could be used to provide a counterattack, it was extremely dangerous if not at the right time. For it is not the time to tell the world the power of the hidden headquarters, finally, Jilixing was forced to surrender to accept bankruptcy and also he chose a safe place for his secret headquarters that had been ensured destroyed for decades by any party, he said, but now that Jilixing is still in Miss Petrov's power prison, he has to think of a way to get out of here, because waiting for James to save himself makes the man feel tired and fed up with it, the longer she goes out, the sooner Miss Petrov finds out the truth, if she knows everything, she can be sure that the dangerous woman will be a big threat, now the woman is still blinded to who is actually guilty of the contract, so Jilixing still has a chance to stab and drop her secretly.

A locked room door with a password and a device that is difficult to break into it makes Jilixing stunned, he did not expect someone to make a fuss while he was still late in his mind, but there was a handful of laughs of consolation and victory right then and there, if James was the man standing there. How fortunate Jilixing was to educate the man with childhood hatred, and also the genius brain that James had could not be doubted so Jilixing felt very helped by him.

“I'm sure you won't fail” welcomes Mr. Ji to his stepson, making James smile cynically while bowing to say hello, however, Mr. Ji who had put his doubts about James this time believed that the man was very useful, and he was not wrong to use the innocent soul of a 10-year-old child under the influence, to be a rescue weapon and lubricant in smoothing the plan.

“Sorry uncle, I was a little late” James replied in a low tone full of guilt, making Mr. Ji pat James on the shoulder while smiling proudly at his pet.

“For revenge it is not too late, now it is time for us to destroy Petrov and also it is time for you to have that woman by force” said Mr. Ji in a teasing sentence, making James stunned as if he could not wait for this victory.

Just as Jilixing came out of the room, he saw bloodshed everywhere, and his people were certainly dominating because they were not the only people who could be underestimated, even they have merciless killing techniques, so there will be no failure when submitted, Jilixing is so proud to see his pet dog is very useful, even he is proud to see himself will succeed again, he said, not only did he take revenge on Zaterius twin brother Petrov, but he placed the top spot in the world class business sector.

“Isn't this the Villa Airyn just bought? why did you break through here? And how could you just walk in, and they let her” Merry growled as she rounded her eyes at Zates, making the man very relaxed in response to a question from Merry

“Why can't I go to my son's villa, the reason why they let us in without a fuss, is, of course because some of Airyn's men I've replaced with my more capable and reliable men. That's why we can waltz peacefully to meet important guests”

“Who is that important guest you mean?”

“Someone you may not have imagined before, and also maybe you will understand everything that happens after seeing them” Zates said while holding Merry's hand proudly.

Seeing the man treat himself like nothing there, of course Merry can not accept this attitude, however Merry needs to know what he wants to do at Villa Airyn.

“Zates, what really happened?” the woman was being treated like a fool so blind that she could understand nothing. Making Zates look at his woman while looking at Merry with a seductive look.

"If I explained everything that happened, would you believe it? Even considering the last time you thought of myself as a madman who made up stories made me know myself at that time. I'm even out of words to explain it, so for a woman who always counts like you, isn't the evidence easier to explain than I'm” Merry put down as if all Zates' words were true, although he explained still Merry's heart rejected “And your silence, I consider it as a word to agree. So act like my lady, and see with your eyes what happens exactly”

Connect the man while rubbing Merry's head with understanding. Not yet had they finished the conversation, there were two familiar male figures in Merry's eyes, coming out of the main door as if in a hurry to leave the Villa. Even the second step faltered when berhirobok with Merry's face stunned, conscious caught both standing still as if unable to turn around or forward, as well as Merry who was as shocked as they were, as well as Merry, while Zates just smiled and guessed all the things and evidence that he got is true, all this time James and Jilixing who pestered between himself and Airyn.

“James, why are you here. Ji what's wrong with you, isn't Airyn protecting you, why you can come out” Merry chirped as if he can't hold back any longer, making the two men look at each other as if all of this was unexpected, it was just that the figure beside Merry was far terrible, to make them intimidated without being imagined.

James still remembers how he killed Louis Petrov Airyn's father with his hands, but why the man seemed to be present with the same form, so that Zates' body trembled countless times, so he had difficulty controlling the calm, so he could not control his, and almost like making a confession if it was he who had killed Louis Petrov, Zates' eyes sharpened to see the two men face to face with him displaying a face of fear and anxiety, he said, as if in the shadow of the sins and wrongs they practice.

Of course James and Jilixing like seeing the sin they have done standing firmly in plain sight, so they behave like a murderer who has been caught. Until Zates can feel it, even he saw how they obliterated his sister in the past, but Zates must control himself so that he does not lose emotional control, and being calm is the only way to reach the goal.

“He was not Louis Petrov, he was Zaterius” Jilixing snapped at James with a low speech so sharp, because the man's behavior was like a book easily read by the enemy. But considering that Zaterius already knew everything, what else did Jilixing hide himself from, and he also had people behind him at this time, could not he behave more calmly.

“What happened James!! Why are you with Jilixing. Didn't you know he was your stepfather who separated you and Iriana. Since when did you interact with Ji”, Merry snapped furiously, as if she still had not digested what had really happened.

Was merry really fooled by James all this time, so he considers the man who grew up had another side behind him. But why Merry didn't realize it, and what the meaning of the falling victims and the blood that was everywhere, as well as some people behind them, was this a sign that James had saved Jilixing, butwhy? Is it because they have collaborated? But for what!! When did that collaboration happen?

On the other hand, Merry understands very well that Jilixing is under Airyn's custody, but that's all to protect the man from the enemy. But why would Jilixing want to escape with the help of James!! Is something wrong between the two of them, but why is it like this? And since when did that happen? Or all this time Jilixing deliberately gave himself up to use Airyn so that he could escape after Airyn disappeared with the help of James who had become his partner. But why would they do something like this behind Airyn and herself?

All the questions that Merry could not find the answer to, making James feel even more upset, all of Merry's eyes and gaze more nauseous, as if James did not understand why Merry was such an innocent person. Even he stood beside their great enemy and also the one who had already destroyed Airyn, was this a sign that Merry was betraying his own daughter!!

“It turns out that you who have been revoking him” murmured Zates with a grudge full of smoldering and menacing glare, making Jilixing feel if Zaterius yaang always wanted him to face it has known with one look, to make Jilixing feel that Zaterius yaang always wanted to face it has been known with one look, it turned out that the man was as smart as he imagined, making Jilixing need to rewind a little step, because too close to the enemy will make himself die in the grip.

“A-what did you say—“ reply Merry confusedly mixed with pain

heart for the attitude and speech of James that he has grown and always protected all this time.

“What are you saying!!!!" keep James on saying, "Do you still want to pretend! I didn't even think you'd want to be with the man that Airyn had been tormented by a contract. You certainly realize he's not Mr. Petrov, but it looks like your relationship is beyond expectations as if you want to show how cheap you are!!”

Reaching James' words with the wrath that surrounds Zates' face, he can accept if he is despised or he is denigrated, even Zates can accept the unhappiness that has always been felt for his entire life, but for this one Zates could not tolerate himself, he who still controlled himself with a calm attitude, put forward an open mind, completely blinded with anger and hatred, he said, to a man who knows himself.

Unknowingly Zates picked up the weapon pulled from the inside after the thick suit on his sturdy body, even Zates aimed right at James' head, as if wanting to immediately pull the trigger and crush the man immediately, daring to say something inappropriate about his woman in the ears of Zates, who was the man to insult Merry shamelessly, of course some of the people behind Zates also provided protection and pointed weapons in front of him, and the people behind Jilixing and James did the same. It was as if both sides were ready to fight and wait for the beginning.

“It is better to keep your mouth shut that does not have a good intention when speaking. If not, I will not hesitate anymore to you” threatened Zates with a look of wrath, a look of wrath, while turning the gaze towards Jilixing who chose silence because he did not want to get involved “I think the weapons that have been prepared for decades, will not want to disappear easily. So to keep that up, I think you better understand what you're supposed to do. Otherwise I'll destroy it overnight”

The contact of Zates who was like lightning struck in broad daylight made Jilixing stunned, how could the man know, if he realized the existence of the headquarters, had been made sure the ancanya is not an empty boon.

If Jilixing remained silent, he would lose this in the near future, because he had no preparation to fight back. So to control James, the man must stop the chaos that occurred and must make James calm without cornering Merry, because the man named Zaterius was like considering Merry as an important person for him.

“James, what are you saying! At least Merry's still your foster mother. And you can't do this. Sir, it seems we have surrounded you and Merry. I'm sorry about that. Wouldn't it be safer for all of us to disperse and return peacefully. I don't think you want anything to happen to Miss Nerry instead of” said Mr. Ji, using Merry as his weapon of remembrance, at least he realized the man would not pull the trigger, but only to commemorate, this time the warning was terrible.

“I'll let the man's self-didn't attitude. But what do I get when I let a prisoner just walk away. Do you think I'd let it go without a return as positive as Zates asked when asking questions, as if Mr. Ji had to shift under Zates' control, at least the man wouldn't be able to leave, if the whole place is surrounded by Zates.

Especially now that Zates has prepared something to destroy the headquarters of Jilixing, already in make sure the only way is to surrender.

"Damn it, I just got free and saw the sun, this time it was captured again by the enemy. It's all because of that stupid guy, I pulled another compliment just now, You useless dog" Umpat Jilixing when looking intently at James, who still persisted with his stupid attitude.

“Can you Shut up!! What does all this mean! James what you really mean. When do I use you! And it was Louis Petrov's mistake that I hid” Merry's reproach when he shouted at James, even he didn't care about the whole situation, because anyway Merry thinks he still does not understand why James like a different person than he knows.

“Merry didn't I say, don't interfere with this meeting. You have to be quiet to understand everything—“

Not yet had Zates shifted his attention to Merry, the enemy began to act out of Zates' control, and of course James did the mess. By pulling the trigger for a shot at Merry as if he wanted to take Jilixing away, and the impulsive action that without the cue was done by James outside the orders of Jilixing.

“What are you doing!!” shouted Master Ji in disbelief, how could James be this stupid, was he not aware of how the strength of Zates, and his actions not only provoked the anger of Zates, but showed opposition to the enemy.

“There is no time to argue, we must go” James denied to Mr. Ji, even he pulled the man to leave instantly, and all his men certainly moved to protect his old man.

While Zates deftly protected Merry until he managed to pull his woman to take cover behind the wall in the moment the shot missed his arm quite deeply, after pulling Merry into his arms and holding his woman under the embrace, he said, Zates was so relieved nothing happened to him.

“Are you okay?” anxious when Merry saw Zates' wrists shed fresh blood, of course Merry was shocked when the man suddenly pulled himself up for protection under the shoulders of his wide field, even Merry doesn't believe Zates is so sensitive that he realizes a firearm is flying at them, even if Zates wasn't protecting Merry back then, it may not be certain that the woman will breathe again, because the weapon was precisely aimed at her head, but why James could do such a thing to her, he said, thinking about James, Merry's mind was really on the verge of Zates.

"I'm sorry, I miscalculated and put yourself in danger” Zates said as he hugged Merry in his broad shoulder, of course Merry no matter how he is right now, all he cared about was whether Zates could still survive, even Merry who was always cold-hearted this time showed his brilliance, he did not expect if the man instead put himself in danger to protect him, he said, how can Zates be like this.

“I'm fine, don't worry. We have to get out of this place” said Zates when hugging the woman, his eyes diverted towards his men who still survive in a standby position, he said, of course some of them were protecting Zates and Merry as if there would be no loophole that could aim for those two important people.

“Master are you okay?” ask the Zates men from the front, with sturdy horses to keep the defense.

“I'm fine, leave this place immediately. Because Merry's safety is much more important. And quickly order everyone to open a way out, and just let them go from here, it is better if you have to serve it” Zates command immediately, he said, as if he did not want all these wars to continue, because it was not possible for Merry. Although there are many possibilities to get the enemy, but now there is Merry is the first point that can not be placed in danger, he can not provoke them again, because it is very threatening the safety of women.

If Zates had not been ignited by emotions and was calm as usual, maybe Merry would not have experienced something like this, most of all Zates was worried about not the wound on his wrist that was so deep, he said, but Merry's feelings were accidentally hurt by him.

“Zates endured Merry's shrieked” in fear, as if he felt very guilty for the man, Merry who had never hugged Zates or was unwilling to touch his body to the man, this time it took the initiative to embrace the body of the man who sacrificed to protect her, hold back Zates' consciousness with her tears that kept flooding in, and always called for a voice so that the man remained in a conscious position, of course Merry's situation looks chaotic, making Zates find it difficult to survive.

“Did I scare Merry” asked Zates to himself, even those who felt bad survived the terrible pain, trying hard and still conscious to return Merry's embrace that supports his large body, however Zates does not want the woman to work hard to hold his body, as powerful as Zates still survive even at the end of consciousness.

“I'm fine” said Zates when he looked at the two eyes of Merry who was filled with anxiety, some time a car stopped right in front of them, leading Zates up and Merry took a position next to Zates as a place to rest, even the woman did not care about her style that was already stained with blood and did not care about her appearance that looked messy, what Merry cares about shuts down the flow of blood that comes from the man's carelessness.

Zates' head was propped up on Merry's thigh, his eyes blurryly staring at the worried face with that gentle demeanor, even Zates was eager to open his eyes wide to stare at the woman he loved so much, unfortunately, Zates' consciousness slowly began to disappear, but before that happened, his fingers touched Merry's cheeks with a look of affection, gently rubbing the droplets of tears that fell from there, hoping that Merry would not cry anymore, she said, and can be patient to bring Zates back to his senses, however Zates will not give up, because this is all not finished “Don't cry. If you keep crying I get hurt. So stop, you're too pretty when you cry” persuaded her with a little joke, before she closed both eyes.

“Zates!!” merry shouted, so that the gas of the car was plugged out by the men who drove the vehicle, directing the car to the house where his acquaintance Zates worked, he said, at least he will be handled by a trusted doctor and also get a VVIP service “How can you joke in circumstances like this” sobs the woman as if unable to speak, besides crying over her stupidity.
