His soul-Chapter 500: The bodyguard’s loyalty

Although already president of Russia, Nikolai Zhirkov has not allowed Massimo to leave his country, Nikolai still needs Massimo’s help to organize his cabinet. Massimo, who had no experience in politics, politely refused Nikolai’s request, Massimo was quite aware of his current position in Russia. Therefore Massimo did not want to present himself too clearly in front of the Russian public, because it would boomerang for himself in the future and Massimo did not want that to happen.

After a long tiring debate, Nikolai finally let Massimo leave his country. Massimo is an important person for Nikolai, because of that Nikolai really wants Massimo to stay by his side, to be his advisor. But Massimo, who had a life of his own, refused Nikolai’s request emphatically.

"I really hope you stay in Russia, sir," Nikolai said quietly, not hiding his disappointment that Massimo had refused to stay by his side.

Massimo smiled faintly. "My duty in this country has been completed, something I promise you have become the ruler of this country. Then what else should I do when everything I have to do I have succeeded in doing?"

"There are many things you can do, sir. You can fill a position in the government system in..."

"Become part of the government? Oh no, thank you." Without hesitation Massimo interrupted Nikolai’s words. "I have no talent for it, if I wanted I would have done it long ago when King Rafael offered me a position in one of his cabinets. I am a free man who doesn’t want to be tied down, working under rigid and considerate government rules."

Nikolai pursed his lips, the words that just came out of Massimo’s lips really showed the real Massimo and he knew very well about it. He finally realized that no one could bind Massimo. "Okay, I won’t hold you back, sir."

The smile on Massimo’s face grew wider, with his big hand Massimo patted Nikolai’s shoulder, who was neatly clad in an expensive suit tailor-made for his size with pride.

"You are the president of this country now, show and prove to everyone that you are capable of leading this country. Currently you already have many loyal supporters behind you, so you don’t have to hesitate to make decisions. Trust me, if one day you need my help then I will come straight to this country," said Massimo, wisely full of promise, Massimo slowly brought his face close to Nikolai’s ear. "Show me that you are a president I can be proud of."

Massimo’s super luxury black jet is back in the air for Los Angeles after leaving Moscow a few minutes ago, Massimo decided to return to America because his business partner was having a hard time and needed his help. Massimo’s intention to return to his home was again restrained and Martin could do nothing but follow all the instructions Massimo had given him to return to America, Martin didn’t even dare to mention what Massimo had said last night that he wanted to go home.

"Do you know where the problem is, Martin?"

Massimo’s question immediately interrupted Martin’s thoughts, fortunately Martin managed to regain his composure so that he could explain the information he got to Massimo clearly even though he stuttered a little.

Massimo who realized that Martin was very tired after many tiring weeks in Russia was not angry at all when he realized that something was different about Martin, Martin who usually did everything flawlessly and just made a mistake.

"Just a small problem, it won’t take long. We can sort it out quickly," Massimo muttered under his breath as he commented on Martin’s explanation.

"That’s right sir, I have also taken care of everything quickly. You don’t need to worry, our IT team is already working. Even now our team is strengthened by one of the best IT experts America has."

Massimo turned his face quickly to Martin. "What do you mean?"

Martin pursed his lips, still contemplating whether to tell Massimo or not. Martin didn’t want him to mention a problem that Massimo had been burying for the past two months. Martin slowly shook his head. "We have one of America’s finest young men joining our cyber team, sir." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"That’s good then, at least with the inclusion of genius-brained youths our security system will be more secure."

"Yes, sir," Martin answered quickly.

Massimo moved his hand, reaching for the wine a flight attendant had just served him. Enjoying his favorite drink made Massimo no longer ask more specific questions about one of his new employees, even though usually Massimo has always been very curious about what prospective employees are like in the cyber division who maintains all security systems that protect all business and important data. Too tired of all the affairs in Russia to make Massimo forget his old habits.

Since there was still a long way to go, Massimo decided to take a break. Even though when he was in Russia he got the best room from Nikolai but still Massimo couldn’t rest well. Even though two months have passed, his divorce from Gina still torments him. At first Massimo was sure he would be fine after divorcing that ungrateful woman, but as the weeks passed, loneliness began to attack Massimo.

Like his last week in Russia for example, Massimo surprisingly dreamed of Gina. Not a dream about his pleasant bed activities with Gina but a pleasant dream in the days of his acquaintance with Gina. The sincerity, kindness of an innocent teenage girl, who misses the love of her family so much disturbed Massimo’s cold innermost side that finally Massimo melted to him.

And because of that dream, Massimo subconsciously wanted to return to his home in Barcelona. Whereas Massimo had previously vowed not to return to his country for a long time before the wound had healed, his disappointment in Gina was too deep. With his eyes closed, Massimo tried to get rid of Gina’s beautiful smile that flashed back in his head. The smile was so sincere from a girl that it made him so infatuated.

"Fuck!"

Martin, who was checking his work on his laptop, immediately turned to the master who sat back upright.

"Give me the alcohol back, Martin. I want to get rid of my headache," Massimo said hoarsely.

"You have a headache, sir?" asked Martin in surprise. "Do you need a doctor’s help?"

"No, I just need a drink."

"But sir..."

Massimo who was annoyed immediately gave Martin a murderous look. "Since when did you dare to disobey my orders, Martin?"

Realizing the master’s great anger made Martin immediately leave his job and rushed to the pantry to get Massimo’s favorite wine, Martin brought two bottles of wine at once to give to Massimo.

As soon as the drink he wanted was in front of him, Massimo immediately drank it straight from the bottle. Massimo’s specialty when he is upset and drunk is drinking straight from a bottle, even though Massimo has always been a very careful person when drinking. Massimo hated drunkards, so he kept himself from getting drunk. But this time, all of Massimo’s sanity was lost. All that was in his head right now was drinking, relieving the pain that was eating away at his sanity.

Seeing the way Massimo was drinking made Martin decide to turn off his laptop and watch Massimo seriously, Martin had to make sure Massimo didn’t do anything untoward. Since his divorce from Gina, this was the first time Massimo had drunk alcohol like crazy. Seeing the intimacy of Nikolai and his wife many times in person as they chatted together made his jealousy appear, even though he had tried to divert his mind to other things, Massimo still lost in his own desire.

Having finished two bottles of wine alone, Massimo finally fell asleep. Martin, who had only been an avid spectator since an hour ago, slowly cleared the empty bottles from in front of Massimo, Martin was careful not to wake the broken-hearted man from his sleep.

"Shouldn’t we go back to Barcelona, ​​Martin?" Pablo whispered quietly.

Martin, who had just put the two empty wine bottles into the trash can turned to Pablo quickly. "Shhh... watch your words, don’t let Master hear it."

"Master is sleeping," said Pablo sadly with a smile full of irony.

"But still you have to keep your word, Pablo. Right now Master is still hunting for Darius, you certainly don’t want it if you have to suffer the same fate as him?"

Pablo smiled wryly. "I can’t betray Master," Pablo replied firmly. "So is Darius."

"Pablo," Martin growled warningly.

"I’m speaking facts, Capt. We all know what kind of person Darius is."

"If he didn’t betray Master then why did he leave Master’s side and return to Barcelona secretly like that, he must have some sinister plan that we don’t know about, right?"

Pablo’s chest rumbled at Martin’s words, he wanted to say the anxiety Darius felt before he decided to leave. But Pablo refrained from speaking, Pablo remembered Darius’ words not to tell anyone else about their discussion. Especially on Martin who will surely leak on Massimo.

"Darius must have other reasons," Pablo said hoarsely, trying to cover up his nervousness.

Martin smiled a little. "Whatever the reason, leaving Mr. Massimo’s side without permission is a betrayal and the punishment for a traitor is death. You know this too, don’t you?"

Pablo nodded silently silently, Pablo was really trying his best to keep all the words that were currently in his throat from coming out.

"And if you don’t want to suffer the same fate as the fugitive then it’s better to immediately lose your feelings of pity for Darius, because believe me sooner or later we will surely see Darius return to the Lord alive or dead," said Martin quietly with a smile, after saying something like Martin immediately left the mini pantry, leaving Pablo alone to return to his seat next to Massimo.

Martin is an extension of Massimo who has the same power as Massimo in front of the bodyguards, that’s why Pablo can’t talk much to Martin. One little he spoke then his life would be at stake.

"I hope you get an answer to all your curiosity soon, my friend," said Pablo in his heart.

Unable to do anything, Pablo finally decided to remain silent until it was time for him to speak. Bringing a glass of apple juice with a squeeze of lemon, Pablo decided to return to his chair. The journey to Los Angeles still took more than twelve hours.

From his seat, Martin smiled faintly when he saw Pablo walking from the pantry to his seat. Knowing Pablo for years made Martin decide to keep quiet and not prolong the problem, Martin knew that Pablo was currently hiding something from him. A secret that has to do with Darius. For Martin, as long as Pablo didn’t do anything suspicious he would remain silent, but it would be a different story if Pablo moved, let alone followed Darius’s footsteps by secretly leaving Massimo’s side one month ago.
