"Wow! So much to explore!" Rose exclaimed in excitement, not able to decide from where to begin exploring the island. She looked at Rhehan in confusion and Rhehan having read her mind already chuckled looking at her cute face.
"Why not we all soak the sun at the beach, and get a nice and beautiful tan for tomorrow's wedding?!" Rhehan exclaimed looking at everybody, studying their facial expressions. He had already planned to convince everybody, to go to the beach, so that he could start with his first step, to hunt for Augus.
"Perfect!" Xio Lee wrapped his arms happily around Elizabeth's waist, pulling her closer to him and smiling at her lovingly. Elizabeth nodded in a yes, feeling a little shy at Xio Lee's sudden public display of affection.
"This sounds like an amazing plan to kick start the wedding." Vicky looked at Stefen with gleeful eyes and Stefen gave a hesitant smile to the girl. "Ahh!! Sweetheart. I am afraid, I shall not be able to join you. The sun and the sand makes my skin go extremely itchy. Besides, the whole amount of salt in the air too makes my skin go dry and flaky. I do not want to fall sick just a day before the wedding." Stefen gave an apologetic smile to Vicky and Vicky nodded in agreement, understanding his condition. "Oh! Never mind then. You and I can go about exploring other things. Besides there are too many other options available over here."
Rhehan who was carefully hearing the conversation between the two frowned and looked at Stefen carefully. He wanted everybody to show up on the beach. What Rose had revealed to him in the plane, could only be found out on a place like that. He wanted to spot the tattoo of the snake, near the heart of the man. This was probably the quickest and easiest way for him to find out who Augus was. Offcourse, the real Augus would try to hide it away and not show up at the beach or will be dressed in complete clothes. This way he can atleast definitly rule out the suspects.
"Oh! Come on Stefen. It will be fun. I am sure you are strong enough to handle a mere sea. Just do not go inside the water." Rhehan gave a challanging smirk to the boy, looking at his hesitant face carefully. He purposely spoke the words, so that the boy's power is being questioned. The real Augus, would never tolerate his power being questioned!
"Well.... Ok." Stefen looked at Rhehan in surprise, not having the heart to refuse him.
"Ahh! Infact, I am not in a mood to go to the beach as well!" A sudden voice behind Rhehan came and Rhehan instantly turned himself completely to look at the source of voice. Kareem was standing just next to Rhehan's face now, the two sea green eyes looking at each other carefully. Rhehan gave another cunning smirk to the boy, his facial expressions changing into the one of a dangerous killer. Kareem who was completely uneffected by Rhehan's words, tilted his head a bit and gave back an equally dangerous smirk, starring constantly in Rhehan's eyes with a challanging look.
Elizabeth, Lillian and Xio Lee who were witnessing the situation looked at each other in surprise. Just when they were about to barge in, James walked upto them and nudged Kareem's shoulder. Kareem was startled immediately and turned to look at James as if he just come out of a trance. He was earlier giving such a cunning smile to Rhehan, which had sent shivers down the spine of three adults looking at the two of them.
James looked at Kareem in confusion and frowned with questioning eyes and then immediately turned to look at Rhehan and smiled. "He will definetly come brother- in -law. We all will be there for sure to soak the sun. This stupid good looking man is just too worried about his face owing to his huge girl fan following." James forced a chuckle and slapped Kareem's shoulder in a teasing way.
Kareem did not react but rather kept looking at Rhehan very carefully. Rhehan, who was aware of Kareem's constant gaze on him, was not effected or intimidated by it even slightest and smiled looking back at James. "That is amazing brother. Hope to see you both very soon!" Rhehan turned to look at Kareem with challanging eyes once again and gave him a wide grin.
"Yes! Let us all go inside." Xio Lee, looked at the two green eyed men with worried eyes, and patted their shoulders. It was the worst nightmare for the three elders to see the two brothers fighting and challanging each other's strength.
Kareem instantly turned and walked away, without speaking any further word. He entered the reception area, while the hotel staff was standing in two lines, holding in their hands several welcome drinks and eatables being served in large wooden trays.
Everyone walked inside happily, grabbing the welcome drinks and snacks. Raol started handing over the room cards, alloted to each member.
"How is the security Raol?" Rhehan walked upto Raol as he was handed over the room card.
"Sir! The rooms are bullet and explosion proof. The boundaries and water bodies are guarded with sharp shooters. Each room will have two guards, guarding it for twenty four hours. All the cctv cameras and sensors, will immediately signal us of any unexpected activity in and outside the island."
"Very good Raol. Now listen to me carefully!" Rhehan almost whispered in Raol's ear. "I want you and other few guards to keep an eye on James, Stefen and Kareem. I want to know about, whatever place they are visiting and whatever calls they are making."
"Right sir! Understood! And sir do you mind, if I ask you something?" Raol hesitated a bit looking at his boss.
"I know Raol. I know it. Do not worry. Nothing will happen to me. It is for our own good. Just keep an eye on these three people. Do not think about me. Nobody can harm me!" Rhehan smiled lovingly and patted his shoulder with his hand.
Raol sighed but then immediately spotted Stefen approaching them from Rhehan's back. "Yes sir.... The.. The arrangements are working perfectly fine. The flowers are fresh, as per your demand and we have taken special care to make the food extra delicious!" Raol instantly changed the topic and Rhehan nodded in a 'yes.' He got the hint that somebody was approaching them and he instantly acted accordingly. "Great. We can probably all have lunch at the beach itself."
"Yes sir! I have already instructed the staff to do it." Raol smiled and turned to look at Stefen.
