BXBX NOVEL Chapter 637 - Zero
"That\'s fine," Xing Han replied, "As long as you don\'t control me."
He then kissed Nitocris, and soon, both of them were caught up within the fire that was burning within them. Nitocris was already unbuttoning Xing Han\'s shirt while Xing Han had his hands at Nitocris\'s belt when Nitocris\'s phone rang.
Xing Han\'s face scrunched up upon hearing the chorus of the song \'You\'re not the Boss of me\' by They Might Be Giants as its ringtone.
\'You\'re not the boss of me now
You\'re not the boss of me now
You\'re not the boss of me now
And you\'re not so big\'
Just who was it that had this for his ringtone? Xing Han watched as Nitocris picked up the phone, his face unreadable.
"What?" came Nitocris\'s baritone voice, displeasure evident as he had been interrupted. He listened for a bit and then said, "Okay."
Xing Han looked up at his beloved, curious, but didn\'t ask. That was Nitocris\'s \'work phone\' which meant that it dealt with matters of the Underworld.
Who was it that would have the King of the Underworld have that sort of ringtone dedicated to him?
Nitocris placed the phone away and continued where he left off.
Much later, as they lay panting in the kitchen, Nitocris helped clean up Xing Han.
"By the way, Kyle called," Nitocris said, as he gently wiped Xing Han\'s behind.
"Huh? You mean, earlier?" Xing Han asked, his mouth twitching as he remembered the ringtone.
"Uh-huh," Nitocris replied, "He asked for help in protecting a couple of kids Kay was bringing back."
Xing Han\'s eyes popped open.
"Two kids? Boy and girl?" Xing Han asked, "Is it Joseph and Lianne?"
Nitocris stopped his caring for a while, looking at Xing Han, "Yes. You know them?"
"Kinda," Xing Han replied, "Some kids Kyle got close to when he went to Country M the last time."
Nitocris nodded, accepting the explanation.
"So when are you going over to Country M?" Nitocris asked slowly, trying hard to suppress the feeling of not letting Xing Han go.
"Oh, I don\'t have to go after all," Xing Han said, "If the kids are here, means that the situation there may not be good. It\'s better I stay."
Nitocris couldn\'t help but attack his Puppy again in pure happiness.

Zero was not happy.
Nope, not at all.
The moment Kay and the kids were out of sight, Zero turned and walked purposefully towards the direction of where he had seen the closest goon.
He was hissing over the earpiece as he walked on, "Find out who is that scumbag who had the officer replaced. What happened to his superior? Why wasn\'t the order handed down? Also, besides the three that I passed by earlier, are there any other stupid goons around? Don\'t forget the ones that had been on our tail earlier either."
Akira, who was in the midst of slipping through security to enter the departure lounge, shivered at the cold, monotonous voice of Zero at that moment.
Zero never raised his voice and was always polite in his words. You rarely see him express any extreme emotion.
He may get annoyed but he would simply brush it aside and ignore them. He would normally just stay at the sidelines, quietly observing everything and everyone without a care in the world.
However, there was one side to him that everyone was extremely wary of.
When he got angry - which was rare - it\'s best to step back and keep out of the way.
In truth, Zero was the most skilled fighter amongst them. While the rest had one particular weapon of choice that they specialised in and tended to favour, Zero could use various types of weapon skillfully.
He could shoot and throw projectile weapons with deadly accuracy, injure and kill with his bare hands - although he preferred to use his wire for speed.
It was just that he didn\'t like getting his hands dirty, so he preferred to just sit back in the background and work from there.
This time, however, he was specifically looking for people.
Akira and the others gave a silent prayer to all the goons in the airport.
"Silver Volcano," Lucka said to the other MIB agents.
Zero\'s earpiece wasn\'t connected to every MIB agent and would go through Lucka first. This was to ensure that the communication lines would not be jammed up with unnecessary information. Lucka would only relay the important ones to Zero.
Thus, Zero didn\'t hear Lucka giving off that code word to the other MIB agents - who gulped.
\'Silver Volcano\' was one of the first code word the agents learned, and it was rarely used. Legend had it that the last time it was uttered, the storm that hit the field was almost as bad as when \'Ice\' from the Underworld emerged.
"Observe, clean up," Lucka then said and the MIB agents understood.
They weren\'t to interfere at all but had to be vigilant to get rid of the bodies that would pile up. If Zero didn\'t get to vent out his frustrations, they were the ones who would be bearing the brunt of it.
None of the MIB agents wanted to be hospitalised from the injuries, so they wisely did as they were told.
Zero headed towards the first goon.
All he did was just pass him by, and the next thing the MIB agent that was nearby saw, was that the guy just slumped over. Zero stopped, turned and caught the guy, putting him down on the chair.
People around ignored that, seeing that the matter was being taken care of. No one realised that the guy\'s chest was slowly turning red.
The MIB agent quickly went to the guy, lifted him up and carried him out before anyone noticed the blood.
