''W-what is a car doing here?'' Omar frowned feeling a gravesense pf foreboding crawling over him.Constricting his eyes, he pressed a button in the car so it could avoid the strange car parked in the niddle of road.However, before the car could even yield to th new command, a missile that travelled at suoer sonic speed came from nowhere, hitting thehis front wheel.Bang!Omar's vision blurred as he got disoriented die to the sudden collision. As for the car, the missile upturned the car, flinging it several metres of the road leaving metal craps scattered on the road.The armoured speed car, having lost one of its wheels came to am abrupt stop, the top now skidding on the rough edges of the road before colliding with a small hill.''Done, Boss.'' A voice cale out from the radio receiver in Antonio's hand.He sat in his black van, watching ss everything unfold before him.He had suspected that Omar, a cockroach hard to kill woultry to pull a trick at the last moment to escape Maria's
''Are you going to open your eyes or you'll continue to pretend that you're still unconscious.'' Antonio's voice stabbed Omar's in the bead, making him wince.Squinting his eyes, Omar's face twitched, contorting to a deep frown as he eventually opened his eyes.His eyes rolled as they absorbed the new surroundings, wondering where he was.It jad already beengew hours simce Antonio brought him, allowing the medics to proceed with his first aid treatment. And now it was time for questioning.''Whete am I?'' Omar hoarse voice echoed in the dimly lit surroundings.''Where you are is of no concern to you, because today, I'm the questionnaire, and the judge.'' Antonio replied in a flat tone.Upon hearing this, Omar's stomach churnef as he couldn't help but feel a sense of dread wash over him, raising his heart.''See young friend, I don't know what you've heard, about I promise you I can explain… I'm beings honest, I can explain, just give me the chance to.'' Omar pleaded, his voice soundin
''He's vwey cautious, he nevwr revealed his identity… if not for the ten million dokkars up front he sent, I would have evwn taken bim seriously.'' Omar answered,his voice sounding dry and cracky due to all the scream his voice box had been subjectes to in the oasy few hours.Upon hearing this, Antonios frowed, narrowing his eyes in contemplation.He could tell that Omar wasn't lying, but what bothered him was the identity of the person who issued the mission. Moreover, what importance could be attached to a painting that would make someone spend a hundred million dollars in its search.Ans then the president of the States… he had always known that someone in the government was behind his downfall but he couldn't imagine why the president would even do that. As far as he could remember, he had never overstepped his blundaries befre the man previously, so why would he order for bis assasination?The more answers he got, the more questions that unfolded which made Antonio grit his teeth
Omar's agonising roar flooded the basement as Antonio walked oi of the bright,smoky, congested surroundings.Onar kept battling with the chains that pinned him to the chair, as the flames dwvoue his.skin and bone witg no mercy, yet tbere was nothing he coukd do about it.He could only yell, spasm, and cirse in excruciating pain, as buring sensation eroded hid mind.Eventually, the pain became unbearable, making him pass out, as he eventually fell ahort of oxygen.Time ticked as the starless, grim night proceeded to the early hours of predawn.Onar ha been burnd tp cinder, his charted bones and ashes being the only thing keft on the chair and the areas surrounding it.His charcoal-like corpse, glued to the chair.A once, powerful and rich politician and ruker who had his country in his palm, controlling everyone under him had just passed away in one of the most humiliating and excruciating way.The authority of the country was just about to fall in his hand yet, his preordained reality
''Umm, well, I believe so.'' King khaled fumbled revealed a wry smile.Antonio shot him one more glance with a neutral expression before glancing at his phone that just vibrated in his pocket.Retrieving the device, he saw a notification and on reading it,his expression couldn't help but waver for a second before returning to its usual neutral face.However, king khaled also felt that something was wrong,maming his brows arch.''Is everything ok?'' he asked, furrowing his eyes.''Yeah, I need to go now.'' Antonio replied, rising to his feet as he headed towards the exit.''Ah… okay, in case you need anything you can always contact me.'' King khaled also rose to hia feet, accompanying Antonio and behind.Soon enough, Antonio stepped out, slamming his car door as he sped off.King khaled watched the disappearing figure of the car, amd he couldn't help but release a long sigh, his shoulders dropping as an imaginary mountain was lifted of his head.''He sure has the oppressive atmosphere
In a dimly room, filked with simole decorations, a black brown table stood at the centre lf the room, and six chairs surrounded the chair.Three figures in black suit sat on each chairs,their silhouette, mwrgingwith the surrounding shadow as they all exchanged glances.The wall, adjacent to the black iron door had a simple mural of a black gigantic statue, clad in a black suit, and from its waist down ward, everything was covered ingold cpins as though the giant drowned in them.On the left handof the giantwas a balance scale, and on his right was a spherical, blue ball.However, due to the dimly lit surroundings, th matte finish od the mural blended with the wall, almost unnoticeable to anyone who didn't pay attention.Apart from the mural, nothing deemed significance, except for the golden chair that each person sat on, yes… each chair had been sculpted from gold, as they reflect the daek glow in the room.And in the middle of the round table, was a diamond that bounced back light.
The large blades of a chopper sent gust of wind downwards, sending dust everywhere, as it landed on the open plains.After a few moment, Antonio stepped out of the helicopter in a pair of black sunglasses, and a matching black tuxedo.He looked across the plains, adjusting his shades before walking forward all alone.The dust in the atmosphere merged with little particles of snow, turning everywhere grey while reducing visibility to some degree.Seeing no one in hia vision, Antonio pulled out his phone, as he went through the map that Gaspar sent to him.'What a weirdo.' Antonio's narrowed his eyes, returning the phone to his pocket as he asvbces south in his four o'clock direction.After covering dozens of metres, a white cottage appeared in his view. Sparse shrubs frozen in snow surrouded the cottage, akongside the mahogany door.Halting in his tracks for a few minutes, Antonio shrugged before approaching the door, inserting a small card he got at the airport prior to his arrival he
Antonio rolled on the ground immediately the door sprang open, his handgun aimed at the door.His squinted eyes glowed in the dim surroundings as he awaited who the intruders were.''Who's there?'' A feminine voice echoed in the room as teo figures appeared at the entrance.Immediately after the entered, though, they also jumped to the left just as Antonio pulled the trigger.Right after that, the three silhouettes had risen to their feet, pointing thwir guns at each other.''Identify yourself!'' The lady at the from ordered, her gun aiming at Antonio's head with menace.Antonio's gaze landed on the lady, making him narrow his eyes, ignoring her order.He couldn't help but wonder who these two ladies were, and what they could be doing in this location. Most importantly he had yet to know whether they were the culprit behind Gaspar and the lawyer's death or not.'Two against one, each attacking from different angle.' Antonio's eyes moved from left to right, analyzing his situation befo
