EPISODE 85
All the men, including the leader, widened their eyes in horror. They were lost, it felt like their hearts had been separated from their bodies. They didn’t offend anyone else but Alpha Chaos?!
“Lola,” Jeslyn mumbled with Lola on her lap as she sat there on the floor, lost in her own world of hopelessness with Lola’s limp body.
She wasn’t breathing, nor was she giving signs of being alive, so Jeslyn lost hope of survival. After all, her men were surrounded and the enemies were still many, about thirty or even more.
She was just sitting there and expecting her death.
Meanwhile, the enemies were all staring at their new leader and waiting for his order. The leader shifted his gaze at Jeslyn. Her cream-colored shirt was stained with blood. He wasn’t sure if she got wounded but that’s not the problem right now.
“We’ve already offended Alpha Chaos. Even if we let her leave, he’ll still come after us. Peradventure he doesn’t come after us, the person who gave us this mission would ki|| us. So, it’s only right to ki|| her.”
“You’re making a big mistake!” Code 7 roared.
“I know. Wh@ťěver step I take, we already made a big mistake, so don’t let us waste it.” He said.
“100 million dollars!” Code 5 butted in. He was buying time.
The leader froze. After a while, he relaxed and chuckled. “I don’t do such jobs, bro. Our reputation matters most–”
Code 5 cut him off, “You have to be alive to consider reputation, right? If you ki|| Alpha Chaos’ wife, he’ll hunt you until eternity. But if you take the money and leave, he might be lenient with his punishment. Madam is a nice person, she might beg for you to be let off.”
“Hmmm, those are nice and convincing words but look, her friend is dead and a person like her whom I watched ki|| my men just a while ago would be very heartless and won’t think twice to seek revenge on me when she gets the chance… so, farewell!”
He pointed his gun at Jeslyn and a villainous smile crept into his lips. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, a loud gunshot sound rang in the alleyway followed by Code 5 and the other’s screams.
“Bang!”
“No!!!”
“f_ck you!!!”
“No!!!”
Iron heart’s finger froze on the trigger. His eyes widened. He looked down at his chest and saw a red stain on his printed white shirt with fading smoke on the area of his chest.
The gun fell from his shaking hands and he touched the wound on his chest. It was as he thought, blood!
He tried to tilt his head to see who shot him from behind but before he could turn halfway, he fell like a sack of potatoes.
Goodness was on his side because the indomitable person who shot him was walking towards him in relaxed steps while the sounds of gunshots accompanied every powerful step he took.
“Bang!
“Bang
“Bang!
“Ahh!
“Puff!
“Doom!”
Different sounds, from gunshots to screams, down to the falling of men rang in the alleyway.
Looming over Ironheart who was lying on the floor, staring at the man in black who seemed to him like a grim reaper, was Alpha Chaos!
With his gun pointed at Ironheart’s face, without words exchanged or emotions shown, his long fingers pulled the trigger and a large bullet flew straight into his face.
“Bang!”
Ironheart’s face exploded. His brain, blood, bones, and everything that was stored in his head mixed together .
It was an extremely disturbing sight but to Alpha Chaos, it was just like regular water to him. He stepped over the dead body and started walking to his wife.
Even though countless gunshot sounds were ringing behind her, Jeslyn didn’t turn nor wake up from her daze.
Maverick lowered his height and carried his wife into his arms. It was at that moment when her nose took in the familiar smell of her husband’s perfume did Jeslyn slowly awoke to see the handsome face of her dear husband.
“Ma– Mave–” her voice disappeared and a stream of tears broke onto her cheeks.
“You are fine now,” Maverick lowered his face and kissed her on the forehead.
Jeslyn shook her head fervently, “Lola…” she managed to say.
“She’ll be brought to the hospital,” Maverick said and started walking towards the entrance.
“No, Lola is dead!” Jeslyn cried out loud.
Maverick paused in his steps. He turned his head to look behind him at Lola who was being carried off the floor by Code 10. She indeed looked like a dead person.
Code 10 observed Lolita for a while and frowned when he saw a faint yellow glow at the exact place she was shot. Lolita had stopped breathing when he carried her off the floor, but now, he could feel life in her.
The situation came as a shock to him but he didn’t dare to keep his angry master waiting, so he nodded, an indication that Lolita was still breathing.
“Send her to Matt,” Maverick instructed.
“Yes, Boss,” Code 10 responded and started hurrying towards the other entrance.
“Lola died because of me,” Jeslyn had been blaming herself since. While they were fighting, she realized that she was the one the people came for. Now, her best friend is dead and it’s her fault!
“You can’t be sure until Matt says so.”
“B– but she stopped breathing,” she refused to be consoled.
“Her body might have needed to shut itself down for a few seconds to support her.”
“Maverick, she was shut in the chest!”
“There are other parts of the organs in and below the chest that aren’t the heart. The bullet might have missed her heart, which means she might have a chance of survival if an operation is carried out immediately.”
Jeslyn’s tears stopped flowing and she stared at her husband’s face for a long time. “Y– you mean…”
“You shouldn’t worry too much, she might be fine. Matt will take care of her.”
Jeslyn nodded.
Meanwhile, Jeslyn had no idea that when she held Lolita in her embrace and was crying, a faint glow left her ring and entered Lolita’s wound through the back.
….
Maverick took Jeslyn home, helped her take a warm shower, and sent her to bed. He laid on the bed with her and saw to it that she had fallen asleep before he went out.
Just after leaving the room, his phone beeped; It was a message from Code 2.
After reading it, Maverick put the phone in his pocket and went to the underground prison.
Inside a cell in the underground prison….
“Ahhhh!”
“Speak up!”
“Please, don’t!!!!!…..Ahhhhhhh!!”
Agonizing shrills of a naked man who was chained to a desk tore through the terrorizing–looking walls of the cell.
No one knows whether the dark stains dropping down, or splattered on the dark walls of the cell were blood or dried oil. However, it wasn’t a pleasant sight.
The torture instruments that were arranged on one side of the wall, made that area a terrorizing sight to behold.
Even a cold–hearted person would tremble at those objects. But Pink had no issue using a dull pair of scissors to cut off the member of the howling in pain in front of her.
Her bloodthirsty eyes shot to another young man who had gone on his knees, begging for his dear member to be spared.
“Pl– please, forgive me!”
Yellow, who was resting lazily on the bar gates with hands folded on her chest and one leg bent behind her, sighed and shook her head.
When would these guys learn that Pink doesn’t have mercy for people who beg for forgiveness? She prefers any enemy who falls into her hands to start confessing as soon as she asks questions. It is so difficult to understand? She sighed again but didn’t leave her spot.
Pink’s lips moved, “For the last time, who sent you?” she asked. Her voice wasn’t loud at all. If one didn’t listen attentively, one would miss what she said.
Unfortunately for the guy, he was begging and crying loudly, so he missed the question.
“Welcome, Master.”
Pink raised her head when she heard Yellow’s voice and saw Maverick walking into the cell in his black outfit with Code 2 and Code 10 walking behind him.
“Boss,” Pink greeted without bowing like the others did.
“Hmm,” Maverick replied. He stretched his hand to the right and Code 2 passed him pairs of black latex gloves.
Seeing Maverick was about to take action, Yellow gulped down saliva and stood erect. Pink on the other hand showed no reaction but on her exposed skin from folding up her white shirt, goosebumps were slowly crawling out.
Maverick is known for his heartlessness but in the torture room, he might compete with the devil.
While wearing the gloves, Maverick’s brown eyes lingered on the man whose severed member was oozing out blood for more than a second before he shifted his gaze to the one Pink was questioning.
He walked noiselessly and calmly to the wall and scanned some of the torture instruments before picking out a grill.
Code 2’s lips parted slightly and Code 10 took a few steps back. Pink frowned slightly before looking at the young man with a flicker of pity.
Yellow immediately stepped and yanked the guy’s head. “Speak! Who sent you!”
She was hoping the guy would speak so he could die a less painful death but the young man seemed to be a hard nut to crack.
Maverick returned with the drill and stood in front of the guy who was kneeling with his hands tied to his back.
“Please, Alpha Chaos, spare me… I promise never to do it again!”
Code 10 cut in, “The twisted drill bit for this, is about 2mm. The front edges will cut your skin open for the spiral to go in and clear out wh@ťěver is in the way.”
The guy froze. Even the other who was almost dying from the loss of blood from his roughly cut-out member, fainted after hearing that.
“Not to mention, it can drill your bones too. Guy, do you know how painful it can be?” Seeing the guy looking like someone who had lost his soul, Code 10 smiled and continued, “I also don’t know, but I tell you, it’s not pleasant at all.”
“Bzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!” The sound of the drilling tool buzzed as Maverick pressed the trigger switch.
The closer it got to the guy, the more ghostly he looked.
“I– I– I…”
“Bzzzzzzzzzz!!!!”
“Ahhhhh!!!….. I’ll say, I’ll say!” He screamed when he felt the drill bit on the central forelock of his head.
Maverick paused the drill a little above his scalp but allowed the drill bit to roughly ‘weed’ his hair out of the way, causing the guy unnecessary pain. Well, torture.
“W– we were sent by Young Master Wu’s girlfriend’s Assistant! We wouldn’t have dared to go after your wife, if– if we knew she was– she was–” the guy couldn’t finish as he was already shaking, sweating, and peeing on himself as he was now sitting on the floor due to the terror that had gripped him.
“Not a hard nut to crack, after all,” Yellow mumbled to herself.
The guy thought that now that he confessed, he would be let loose but how wrong can he be?
“Bzzzzzzzz!!!!!”
“Ahhhhhh!!!”
Maverick ruthlessly drilled a hole into the guy’s head until the guy fell and started to twitch on the floor.
He threw the drill aside and commanded. “Send them both to Old Man Wu’s doorsteps. Tell him… his son has beat the drum of war.” With that, he turned and left the cell.
“Yes,” Code 10 bowed and Yellow bowed and remained like that until Maverick left.
Yellow looked back at the blood seeping out from the guy’s head and sighed, “I tried to warn you. By the way, they’d be dead before they get to the Wu estate, right?”
“That’s the point of the message… send them as dead bodies,” Pink explained.
Maverick returned to the room to see Jeslyn sitting on the edge of the bed.
