Chapter 360: a conversation with the calibri couple


    Taking a deep breath, rk stood up with a solemn expression on his face before entering the mansion while being escorted by a unit of soldiers armed to the teeth.


    He didnt protest as this was the normal procedure which he already observed through watching the other lucky individuals that were called in.


    Yes, he called it lucky. Most of the people who came here today were bigshots in their own right but over 90% of them would go back disappointed.


    He felt d as despite the ridiculousness of his introduction, being called meant that Sonia probably told her parents about him some time ago.


    As he was led through the luxurious garden of the mansion, he tried hard not to admire the surroundings.


    All his attention was focused on the man that he was about to meet. Strangely, because of his dream the previous night, he felt a lot more confident which reflected in how he walked.


    He didnt even know when he got to the mansions main door because of the thoughts in his mind, but he was there already.


    Verification.


    He did not protest; he raised his hand as the guard standing before the luxurious door brought a device before his face and activated it. 30 secondster, a guard dipped his hand underneath his suit and brought out his long knife.


    Another bent and brought out the 2 daggers that were hidden in his boots. They turned to look at him with a questioning look on their faces.


    He smiled. Im a soldier, theyre for self-protection.


    Ok, you can go in.


    As soon as he took the first step inside the living room that looked like that of a giant, his first impulse was to observe the scenery but he was immediately interrupted by a soldier.


    This way.


    Left with no choice, he reluctantly followed while still trying his best to observe as much as possible. In 5 minutes, he was finally led to the door leading to the billionaires office.


    An odd thing that rk observed was that throughout his walk to Mr. Calibris room, there was hardly any other civilian in the mansion. Only soldiers filled everywhere.


    Putting that at the back of his mind, he knocked as soon as the soldier who escorted him here turned to leave. After getting permission, he gently pushed the door open before entering the room.


    He kept his back straight and his head level as he walked into the room, he had no intentions of lowering his stature just because he was facing a billionaire.


    As he walked, his face was straight but his eyes were scanning everywhere like antennas. Paired with his imnt, he got the wholeyout of the room in less than a second.


    Unlike what he expected, the office was not too big though it was luxurious. It was small,pact, and it was kept simple.


    2 simple bookshelves were arranged at opposite sides of the office in columns, an office table, an office chair, and a rxation sofa, that was the entirety of the office.


    The rest wereplicated machines that rk didnt know their importance and use.


    Only 5 people were in the room, Mr. Calibri with 3 stern-faced soldiers on suits behind him, and Mrs. Calibri who was seated on the sofa and was currently observing rk.


    Just exactly as in my dream. He inwardly sighed, amazed.


    Bending his body slightly, he gently raised his right hand to his chest before greeting politely. Good morning, Mr. Calibri.


    He turned to the sofa. Good morning, Mrs. Calibri.


    None of them responded, they just observed rk in silence.


    The famed Mr. Woods Calibri was a middle-aged man. He had dark brown hair, a strong but rtively chubby face, sharp eyes, fair skin, and he currently had a neutral expression on his face. He was dressed in an official work suit.


    Mrs. Calibri still had a rather young face. She had ck hair, sharp eyebrows paired with gentle eyes, a well-toned face, fair skin, and had a gentle temperament.


    Unlike her husband, she was dressed in a pure white long flowing gown.


    rk Pendragon. Mrs. Calibri finally called. I apologize for our impoliteness, please have a seat.


    rk did not stand on ceremony as he thanked her simply before sitting down. Then, all his prepared words flew away from his brain, he didnt know what to start the conversation with.


    As the atmosphere became awkward, Mr. Calibri finally broke the silence. Youre Sonias boyfriend?


    Yes, sir.


    rks brain immediately got refreshed after he answered. Taking that as his entry point, he revealed his motive foring.


    Due to their age, there was no way that he would start the conversation with jokes or any other casual method, going straight to the point was the best method.


    At first, rk thought that the response from this billionaire couple would be either that of disdain or another negative reaction but in the end, he was left stunned by their reaction.


    Mrs. Calibri led the conversation.


    ording to her, they already decided to contact him before after Sonia went missing but they stopped when they knew that he was lost in the Mediterranean Sea.


    ording to her, Sonia already told them of their rtionship even when they were still together in the Mocan republic, so this visit was not a surprise.


    As the maturedy kept on recounting, rks facial expression soon turned from surprised, to shocked, to astonished, then to dumbfounded.


    When did Sonia reveal all this? Why didnt she tell me any of this?


    From there, she told him what exactly happened. She didnt go into many details, but she revealed enough to make rk know the small and important details.


    It was a situation of jealousy from rival billionaires. Mr. Calibri calcted wrong, and before he could react, everything quickly spiraled out of his control.


    His deep foundations were what made him survive the assault, keep his life, and remain afloat, but in the end, he lost his only 2 children.


    The next thing that the couple revealed made rk even more excited.


    ording to Mr. Calibri, he already found the vague location of his children through his intelligence agencies, but he could not rescue them yet because of the suppression stilling from his rivals.


    Please sir, where is Sonia? rk could no longer wait for their lengthy exnations.


    ording to my sources, the omnidirectional teleportation device dropped them in the Sahara Desert. Precisely, the middle-periphery zone.


    Exactly as in my dream. rk confirmed in astonishment again.


    He suddenly stood up and sped his hands together. Sir, I am a 3rd rank high-grade soldier. I was originally worried that saving Sonia was beyond my powers, but thank you for enlightening me.


    His tone became solemn. As it is now within my powers to fulfill, theres no way that I will sit back.


    I promise to get Sonia back.


    He already made his decision; he had no reason to dy his ns.


    It seems that the Calibri couple already expected his decision, they didnt reveal much surprise.


    Mrs. Calibri sighed. When Sonia just introduced you to us, I found it hard to believe. I thought it was just some teenage crush that would soon fade away, but I just realized how wrong I was.


    It is hard to find men like you in this era.


    Mr. Calibri finally spoke again, this time in a serious tone. Lieutenant rk, I love my children very much. If you can rescue them, I promise to give you something valuable in return.


    Theres no need for that sir. rks eyes gleamed. All I need is cooperation from your intelligence agencies.


    Done.
