Jordan finally found his way in. Parking at the parking lot, he looked at Ana and Mariela, who was trembling with fear of what lay ahead of her after screwing things up. “Get down," he ordered.Ana got out through the same door with Mariela, keeping watch on her. Now that she knew Mariela had ruined everything, Ana was afraid that she might try to escape them. She walked close to her as they made their way to Jordan. “What do we do with this one?” Ana implored.Jordan looked at Mariel with rage and contempt, while Mariela evaded their gazes as she waited for her case to be decided. Her ears were paying close attention to Jordan as his words made their way to her ears despite the commotion in the busy place. “Nothing, for now. We will keep her beside us until the end of today. I think she needs to see what we do to our enemies so that she can prepare herself for her own punishment.”A cold jounce of fear skint down Mariela’s spine, almost paralyzing her. It seemed that a stark punishme

Jordan looked at the men before him with a flat expression, denoting neither danger nor appreciation of what the men were implying. No word was said, but with a single slight eye gesture, Jordan’s men shut the opposing men down, pulling their bodies to the corner. The move was swift and silent, with the help of the silencers.Jordan signaled some of the men to stand guard outside the entrance, their eyes darting all over the area. He forged forward with Major, the two ladies, and a group of ready-for-war soldiers. Each step Jorda took was fueled by the desire to slit the throats of those people. He forged with long, silent strides, his eyes resembling those of a predator as he crept inside the villa and along the dimly lit hallways. A hint of merriment could be heard within, with the faint sounds of faraway laughter and clinking glasses.They reached the door, and since there were only men left, they took him out in a snap. The door was held open for him.His heartbeat quickened as he

“Boss? What do we do? I think we should get out of here right this minute before the corpses trace us." The major said.Jordan nodded. He knew that was the right thing to do. They had been compromised, and each passing second counted a lot. “Well, I also do not want to be caught. So, can we put this charade aside and leave this place before we all end up behind bars? I am sure, Mr. Rivers, you do not want to go to jail this soon before you complete your mission.” Mr. Dominick chipped in, sampling a ray of hope for his survival. In his mind, he thought he had a chance to escape Jordan’s wrath now that the police had been notified. And hearing them agree about leaving stroked his glee.Jordan turned to the oblivious man, and until Dominick saw the look in Jordan’s eyes, he didn’t know how wrong he was to think that he had even just a slim chance to live. He froze as Jordan pointed a gun at his head. His breath was cut short as he looked at the weapon that was about to send him to the ne

The senior scoffed. “Like I said, I am not in agreement with how he is going around all this. But I also cannot cloak the amazement at how keen he is to take out his foes.” He noted.Mario’s brows furrowed. He shook his head slightly. “I am lost, sir. What are you talking about?” Mario asked.“In these two bloody scenes, there have been a lot of people around his targets. But not even a single innocent person has been hurt. You saw him evacuate the civilians in his first murder that went viral days ago, right? He is only focused on his prime targets. The man is even protecting the daughter of De’Luka, the same man he sent to jail and took everything from him. He is like a lion with a human heart.” The senior explained, his face denoting just how much he was moved by Jordan’s actions.The junior, Mario, could not overlook that idea either. I mean, they had encountered ruthless and careless criminals who ended up hurting even innocent people, and in some cases, things got so messy. Jord

“Jordan?” Ana approached Jordan, and she pulled him aside. “I need to ask you something.” And she added when she had Jordan where she wanted. A distant place where their voices could not reach a third eye.“Are you okay? What bothers you?” Jordan’s voice melted at Ana's. It does. The girl had all the charms to lure any male gender. Unless you were not strong.Ana motioned to Jordan, asking him to follow her gaze, and he obeyed. In a corner far from the crowd sat a lone figure. Sore eyes and lost in thoughts. Mariela was dying of anticipation of her fate and when the auspicious time would come for Jordan to finally do to her what he did to traitors. Remembering the two bloody incidents she witnessed in Jordan's actions, she feared for her dear self. “What do you plan to do with her?” Ana asked.Jordan looked at the woman for a while. She looked miserable and pitiful. It was like she could sniff her head from so close, and the beardown fear that came with that sense was killing her slow
