David read the message and suddenly became alert, he pretended to look for something on the floor look behind him, truly as Paul had said, there were two guys in blacks behind him pretending to be looking for something also.

He quickly texted Paul back:

Okay. I am heading there.

He called a taxi and entered it giving the direction he was heading too.

The two guys also called a taxi which followed David's.

Paul started his car and drove behind them slowly, keeping his space far away from them so that they won't get suspicious of his car.

Floda:

Nora went back to meet Philly in the room he was.

"Where is David?" Philly pretended to ask in concern when he noticed Nora came alone . He slowly sat upright on the bed.

"He has left. Although he was upset but he send his hi to you." Nora answered sitting beside Philly once again.

"Why will he do that, he hasn't seen me for a long time and all he could say is hi, what kind of friend is he." Philly said  pretending to be angry at David.

"Well, I wouldn't blame him. He loves me but I don't, and when I told him that you are back and I still love you, he wished us well and left

. He couldn't face his friend you know." Nora told him.

"If you say so Nora." Philly said.

"Now you get some rest, I will check back on you later."

"Thank you Nora for everything, for still loving and accepting me, I really appreciate you. I thought you would have forgotten about me and start a new life all over again, but I was wrong about that, you had patiently waited for me." Philly said with his charming smile.

"Why will you think that Nora of all people, would forget you that easily. There is nothing on Earth that can compare my love that I have for you. You complete me Philip and I am glad I waited." Nora said to him in all smiles.

"I love you Nora." Philly whispered closing his eyes. 

'I love you too, now take your rest my love."
Nora said and sent him a smile before she kissed his forehead then stood up from the bed and left the room.

Philly quickly left the bed and went out of the room.

"I am so glad that Philip is alive Craig after so many years of separation form us." Kate said in happiness as they sat down in the sitting room.

"Yes I am glad Philip is back." Craig responded bey bringing out his phone to dial a number in it. "Excuse me ma'am." He added as he stood up and left Kate to talk privately with whosoever it is he had called.

Nora came out and went to meet Kate, sitting down beside Kate, she placed her head on her grandmother's shoulder and exhaled deeply.

"I can tell from your eyes that you're as happy as Craig, seeing Philip today, I saw a  smile that I haven't spotted on you all these years." Kate spoke after a while.

Lifting up her head. "Yes grandma, I am glad. He was the only one who could bring that smile on my face then, that special smile that is only meant for him."

"I can see that in your face, so what did David say?" Kate asked.

"Nothing much, he just came here to beg me to date him and I told about Philip, he wished us luck and left." Nora answered.

"Aww, I feel so sorry for him." Kate said in pity.

"Yeah, me too. He will find someone to love him, by the way grandma, I forgot to tell that I and Lora met in Casala. She is the girlfriend of David."

"What!? You don't mean that do you?"

"I do, it escaped my mind the other day when I was explaining to you and Uncle Craig."

"Did you see your... parents?"

"No, it was after she left that the magic David came and took me to the mountain."

Casala:

Lora who just returned from Valten was livid in anger.

She ignored all the greetings the servents sent her way, and even pushed some out of the way who weren't fast enough to avoid her.

She entered her parents room without knocking.

. They weren't surprised when they saw her.

"Lora dear, what is it?" Mary immediately asked as she saw the look on Lora's face.

"Where is grandma Kate living in Floda?" Lora demanded immediately ignoring Mary's question.

"Why do you want to know Lora, what happened?" James asked his daughter.

"It's been long I saw grandma Kate, plus I want to also see Nora." Lora answered. "So where does she live?"

"Why do you care to see your grandmother and Nora all of sudden, were you not the same person who had made us give your twin to Kate to live with."

"Yes I know, you don't have to remind me that, in case you don't know, Ora, the ballet dancer which we all know and wish to meet is actually Nora, so you see why I need to go to Floda to see them. I need to see my twin sister."

"Okay, but we're coming with you." James told her.

Valten:

Paying the taxi he boarded his fare, he opened the gate and entered the empty compound, Paul and him has the keys to the house. He did as if he didn't see the two guys coming down from their own taxi.

He closed his gate and dropped his suitcase on the ground and sat on it facing the gate.

The two guys jumped through the old fenced and was surprised to see David looking at them, not an ounce of fear was seen in him.

Without wasting time, they brought out their sword from their clothes behind their backs and held it in front of David. They swing their swords together in rhythms and was surprised when David didn't even flinched.

One ran towards him lifting up his sword in process, before his sword would strike David, a hand sized the sword from hitting his target. The guy tried to remove his sword from the intruder but couldn't.

Paul Immediately remove a small knife from his back pocket which he used in tearing the Ninja's throat open, he also thrust the knife into his heart repeatedly before dropping the lifeless body on the ground, kicking the dead body away from them towards the remaining one who looked surprise seeing him.

"I will only ask this once, who sent you to kill my nephew?" Paul demanded right away.

"Come and make me talk?" The second guy replied, flexing his tight muscle and his sharp sword.

He was surprise to see Paul standing in front of him Immediately, he blinked his eyes multiple times.

How did he came so fast in front of him that he didn't notice? He thought.

The pang of pains he felt on his stomach made him realized his own sword has been used in stabing him to his death, he was finding it very difficult to breathe. He fell down to the ground with a loud thud.

Paul turned to his nephew, "Let's get out of here." He said and started leaving the compound.

David quickly stood up and hurried after him with his suitcase.

"You left him alive, why?" David asked immediately he entered the car and they drove away from there.

"Yes, I left him alive because he will call his master or whoever it is, to inform him of his failed mission, he will then give him my description." Paul answered without looking at David.

"Do you know what you just did? He or they will hunt you and kill you, in fact I don't even know why they want to kill me."

"That is what I want to know, so relax, no harm will come to you." Paul assured him.
 
"So how did you even know that they were sent to kill me?"

"Their clothes gave them away and plus, their clothes has the same logo of someone I saved few nights ago. So I used my brain to add the sums together, and, I was right."

Floda:

Nora had left Kate to her room in her words, to discuss with Daisy, when Craig entered the sitting room to sit close to Kate.

"I am suspecting something ma'am.' Craig began.

"And what can that be?" Kate asked suddenly interested.

"It's about my son." Craig replied.

"And what about him?"

"Something sounds fishy, the Rebels doesn't really deals with swords, never. I just called one of them and they swore they didn't captured my son like he had claimed, because I fully know I wasn't owning them that much." Craig revealed.

"So you're saying that this Philip is lying to us?" Kate asked.

"Yes ma'am, I also observed that the sword wounds he carries also looks exactly like that of the dead Diego. I think he isn't saying the truth." Craig said.

Unknown to them Philly overheard their conversation.
