Chapter 623 - Sudden Attack to Alice (1/2)
A Certain Place
In a dark room, two people were staying inside. One of them was holding a metal pipe, ready to attack if it was needed. As for the other one, he was tied to a chair with a battered face.
”You should just speak, where is James Doha?” the man, who held the metal pipe, asked with annoyance.
The man on the chair, Charlie Doha, raised his head listlessly. His eyes stared hollowly to the man before him, not caring in the slightest about the question thrown to him.
”Go to hell.”
The man's face contorted. He swung the metal bat on his arm towards Charlie's stomach, hitting the man with a large force once more.
Charlie nearly yelled because of the pain, but he stayed quiet. This was not the first time he faced assassination. As the young master of Doha Family, he was taught ever since young how to face assassination. Because he had abandoned his name for years, his skill has grown rusty. However, he would never show this man whatever he wanted to see in him.
Raising his head, he glared back at the man. His eyes seemed to dance with flame as he looked with unwavering determination.
”He's like a c.o.c.kroach,” the man muttered in annoyance.
Kreet (the sound of door open)
”Ayres, how much longer do you want to torture that man? We have another mission soon after this,” from behind the door, Jeff walked inside.
Charlie glanced at the two of them with a hardened expression. He didn't really care about his wellbeing as he knew that there was no one who could save him. The government has made their move as swift as possible. Trying to win against them was practically useless.
”He's stubborn, Jeff,” Ayres replied.
Jeff shook his head. ”Iris has already seen the future. She found James.”
Hearing that, Charlie's face paled considerably. All these times, he didn't know the location of Taro and James because the two hid from him. The only thing that he received from them was a single letter, telling him that they were alright. He has always felt reassured whenever he thought that they were safe.
If these two were killed, he would never be able to forgive himself.
”Ah, that's good,” Ayres's mouth curled up to make a smile. ”Where are they?”
”Ryukalin Clan,” Jeff replied.
”Oh, he seeks refuge in that clan. It's not a bad decision,” Ayres nodded his head approvingly.
”We're not going there.”
”Where will we go?”
”We'll make a diversion,” Jeff smirked. ”Let's go.”
”Wait you bastard!” Charlie yelled in rage. ”Don't you dare to touch my brother and nephew!”
Bang!
Ayres swung his metal bat once more, hitting Charlie's stomach once more. From the pain that seemed to creep from his stomach, Charlie got the urge to vomit. It was so painful that he felt he would die.
Jeff looked at Charlie with crossed arms. ”You're using too much strength. That man is going to die.”
”Who cares? They didn't specify us to keep him alive,” Ayres threw the metal bat aside. ”As long as they don't tell us to keep him alive, there's no need to be considerate.”
The door was closed and all Charlie could hear was his own heartbeat. Pain filled his entire body as he gazed at the floor, which has been dyed red out of his blood.
