Chapter 256 - Life At Sea

Tiny was in deep thought about what recently transpired in Japan, as he sat outside the cabin door guarding Ashley. When it suddenly dawn to him tha he could contact anyone by using the satellite phone of the yacht. 

He quickly got up and called someone to replace him so he could call grandma Hanada to know any news about Tanaga.

once his replacement came, He quickly goes to the bridge of the ship. 

The Captain of the yacht was sitting on a chair while commanding a cadet. When he saw Tiny walks in, He was quick to stands up, where he seated so he could greet him.

"Sir, Tiny! Is there anything you need?" the Captain asked curiously while his head was bent to pay respect. All the crew of the yacht respect him same way as they respect Tanaga.

Tiny is the right hand of their boss, and they need to give him honor, like how they respect their boss. 

Tiny just nodded before going to the radio room. The Captain scratched his head and sat back down to his seat and continued commanding the cadet.

After what it seems to be eternity Tiny came out of the radio room with somber eyes so red and furious. The Captain almost fell on where he's seated when he's about to stand up. The cadet was just quiet, standing in front of the steering wheel of the ship. 

"Captain Garcia, listen to what I will say. Gather all the crews in the mess hall, and we'll be having a meeting." Tiny ordered then leave. 

The Captain quickly announces in the P.A. system. After that, he put the ship in the autopilot mode before leaving with the cadet. 

All of the crew are already on the mess-hall and waiting for Tiny to arrive. All are quiet and waiting for what they would talk about. 

In a few moments, Tiny finally arrived that is handling a few papers in his hand. He gives it to Captain Garcia and speaks," Distribute it to all of your crew for them to read. 

After that, I will tell you what it is and why you are all gathered here." Tiny said, in a serious face. 

Captain Garcia gave the paler to his mess-man to distribute it to all of his colleagues. Each crew immediately accepts the paper and quietly reads it. 

Minutes past and Tiny noticed that all are finished," If all of you finished reading it, sign it and bring it back to the Captain, and we'll start the meeting." Tiny wasn't seated while waiting for all of the people to sign the paper and bring it back to the Captain. 

"Alright! I think you understand what's on the paper that states the non-disclosure contract. You are all blind, mute, and deaf on what's happening in the THJ group and its family. When you got caught breaking the rules, I'll be sorry for the punishment you'll receive." He threatens them before they thought of opening their mouths for others. 

"Chairwoman Hanada ordered us to take care of the one and only inheritor of THJ group. Our life is at stake here, so right now until ma'am Ashley gives birth. All of us will live in the middle of the sea. Understood?" Tiny shouted to make sure all of the crew heard it. 

"Yes, sir!" All of the crew shouted, even captain Gacia. 

"That's good, now that it is settled, you can come back to your jobs," Tiny said while turning his attention to his left. "Captain, chief mate, and chief engineer. Come with me, and we'll be talking about the plan. 

In just moments, all of them are in the office of the Captain to talk about what ChairwomanChairwoman Hanada ordered Tiny to do. 

"Let's start the meeting. First of all, this ship will row until ma'am Ashley give birth. This will land if we need to refuel and buy needs." 

"We'll be staying in the pier for only one day, and it will be dangerous if we got tricked by the syndicate. We should be in tight security, so when we land in the Philippines, there will be ten more bodyguards that'll enter this yacht to help protect ma'am Ashley. 

"Now, about captain Garcia, he'll come home and be replaced by ma'am Ashley's brother, Captain Arthur Gusman. Also, ma'am Ashley's parents and siblings are included, so she will not be sad while we're in the sea.

"Because it'll be crowded for the meantime, when we arrive at the Philippines, the non-essential crews would come back to accompany ma'am Ashley's family. 

"At this time, ma'am will be four months pregnant. There will still be five months to wait before she gives birth, and we will wait for that whole time in the middle of the sea, where we're out of reach in the hand of the syndicate that can threaten the life of ma'am Ashley and her baby.

"The place we're planning to go is," Tiny explain to the chief engineer the places they will go on by one. "When ma'am Ashley calmed down, I'll explain the situation and the happenings. Do you understand what you'll be going to do?" 

"Yes, sir!" All of them answered Tiny. 

"If that so, then this meeting is adjourned," Tiny said, his eyes reveal his worries and sadness.

THJ Group Headquarters:

There is chaos inside the board meeting room. All of them are high officials and didn't know what to do. They heard that the Chairwoman almost got kidnapped in the hospital in such broad daylight. 

While they still don't know if CEO Jones is still alive or dead because of the car he used while going to the THJ group got ambushed. 

The last news they received is that the vehicle fell on a cliff and exploded. They don't know if their CEO and his bodyguard are saved… or not. 

All of the board members are worried about what will happen in the THJ group if, by chance, CEO Jones is found dead. Who's going to handle the company? 

They just know that they've been to talk about this, but they didn't know who would arrive and tell what was going to happen. 

"This is unbelievable! Who's that so evil that can do this to the Hanada family? That's crazy." 

"Even I can't believe when I heard what happened, even though the bodyguard of CEO Jones, how come the syndicate got through?" 

"I heard that CEO Jones sent other bodyguards to the Chairwoman. That's why this happened."

"Why does he have to do that when the chairwoman has her bodyguard?"

"I don"t know! We will know it once the person called us here arrives."

While they're all asking and talking with each other, the door suddenly opens as a person comes in.

They"re all looking at the door to know who is the person entered while holding their breaths.
