Everyone shows off the mark on their chests. Except for the four old men of the Overseers, including Morgan Davis, don’t take off their shirts. They don’t show off the mark, because they don’t have it. Well, they are the founders, so they don’t need to declare their loyalties to the rest of the members. It’s a bit different for Reece Thompson. He is not one of the founders. He started it like the other members from lower rank, also received the same burning mark in his chest before getting to his current position as one of The Overseers. “It’s the mark of our brotherhood, and also the seal to declare your loyalty to this organization,” explains Reece Thompson. “With this, you are obliged to protect the confidentiality of all of us. And it will all tie you and us to death,” adds one of the old men, Dariel Stewart. “Which means, once you become one of us, there’s no way out of this except death. Treason means death. And in some cases, breaking the rule could also lead to some seriou
On the other hand, Miles Benet is still able to keep his composure. He always believes that Alex is a reasonable man and not a bad person. Hence, he still tries to persuade Alex to change his mind.“Like he said, they won’t harm you here,” Benet tries to reason with Alex. “But after this, they will put a bounty on your head. I’m not trying to threaten you. I’m asking as a friend, couldn’t you reconsider it again?”“Shut your trap!” Alex rebukes by thrusting the tip of the pen a bit to Benet’s neck.“Aww! That hurts!”“If you are really my friend, help me to get out of this place!”“Su, sure! If you insist!”He keeps holding Benet hostage as he approaches the exit door. Reece Thompson instructs the guards to open the door for Alex. He even informs all his men through the phone to let Alex leave.“Listen! Alexander Davis is going to come out by holding Miles Benet a hostage. Don’t ever provoke him. Let the man leave in peace.”Before getting out of that room, Alex takes the chance to le
The same dilemma also haunts Morgan Davis' mind. The old man is still treating Alex as his son. But he can’t simply leave this organization, because it will only mean a death penalty for him.“Morgan! Never think about trying to intervene with this issue,” Freedie Barker warns. “I don’t know what happened between the two of you, and why he suddenly changed his mind. But he is our enemy now. And you better not betray us.”“Don’t worry about me. Just prepare for a great loss on our side,” replies Morgan confidently.“What’s that supposed to mean?” asks Reece Thompson, reacting with a bit surprised by Morgan’s response.“That 5 million dollars you put on his head is not that big, but it’s not too small either to deter the hunters’ interest, especially the lower rank hunters. And believe me, there will be so many deaths soon, if you don’t take down that bounty from his head. Well, it would be different if you increase the reward even higher so that the small fries know how dangerous he is
Alex is thinking about waiting for the thugs to run out of bullets. But later, he finds more of them appear from the direction joining the hunt. One of them is even seen holding a shotgun.Even though Alex’s car is bulletproof, the gun shots from the thugs are still able to leave a certain level of damage on some part of the car's body and windows. With the coming of a shotgun, he even begins doubting whether the car really can sustain all the attack.“I don’t know if this car is really durable like they said. But I don’t want to take any risk by staying here. We need to get away from this street.”“But we can’t simply go to a more crowded area,” Boris reminds.Unsure that he will be able to continue running away from them, Alex insists on leaving the highway, intending to head straight to the nearest police station.The condition of that Mercedes has attracted some people’s attention. Not to mention the thugs who openly hold their firearms.However, unlike before, the thugs are start
When they reach the edge of the woods, only then does Alex begin to suspect something wrong. But it’s already too late, because that one cop is already pointing his gun at him.“I didn't think it would be this easy,” sneers the other cop on the right. “Didn’t they call him the only one worthy enough to be considered as the disciple of The Great Hermit?”“The disciple of The Great Hermit my ass! The fact they only put 5 million dollars for his head is enough to explain everything,” says the one cop who is holding the gun, belittling Alex with his arrogant smile.The man then moves his gun like telling Alex and Boris to get out of the car. They intend to lead Alex and Boris away first, not wanting to do the murder right inside that car.However, both the cops do the mistake most people do with guns. They point the guns too close to their targets.“Are you sure you’ve unlocked the safety on your gun?” Alex nonchalantly taunts the man who points the gun at him.“Don’t think about teaching
Since the beginning, Alex never likes the idea of using a kid to fix his issue with Austin. But then again, Dylan has already kidnapped Austin’s daughter.“If we are going to give the kid back, why don’t just ask them to give Elly back to us?” Boris suggests.“Then it would put me as a man who holds a kid hostage?” Alex argues. “What makes me different from them?”“I get it that I did something bad here, but it’s already done,” Dylan refutes impatiently. “I’m the one who kidnapped the kid, not you! So enough with your morals. I’ll take all the blame in front of God later. Happy now?!”Alex takes a deep breath, and makes a phone call. He himself doesn’t have Austin’s phone number. So the only thing that crosses his mind is asking Miles Benet’s help.[Mr. Davis?! Is there anything I can help?]That’s the very first thing that he gets from Benet, making Alex so sure that his judgment asking Benet’s help isn’t wrong.“You see! I have Austin’s daughter with me. And I think he also keeps my
It isn’t clear yet which part of the kid’s body got shot. One thing for sure, her clothes have also already been red by blood, either her own blood or Boris’ blood. Boris tries to shake her, but the girl doesn’t show any reaction.“Shiit!” Alex grumbles with a mad face. “This is your fault! That’s what happens when you don't follow what I told you. I said no guns, because I don’t want to put your daughter in danger. And yet…”“They are not my men,” Austin retaliates.Alex just shuts silent. And so, Austin breaks free from him and immediately gets to his daughter. He keeps crying, while the kid herself doesn’t show any response.“We need to get her to the hospital,” says Boris.However, the three cars of the thugs are still following them from behind, still launching their bullets to that minivan.“Don’t you have any guns?” asks Austin. “We need to fight them back.”“I’ve told you! We didn’t bring any guns because we didn’t want to harm your daughter,” explains Alex. “Pablo, take us to
“I met the kidnapper in the Waverley Cemetery to give the ransom money for my daughter. But I mixed the money with some useless papers. When they found out, they tried to kill me and my daughter. So I ran away, and she got shot.”“How did you get here? We got a report about some people shooting a minivan.”There he remembers that there was indeed a police car following him and Alex before. He is a bit unsure to hide Alex’s involvement any further, since it will risk his own position later on.“Yes, I left my car at the cemetery when I tried to get away from them. Someone appeared with a minivan and saved us.”“Oh, how sincere he is, taking the risk to help you in that situation. Do you know the owner of this minivan? I may need to ask him some question too.”“It’s Alexander Davis.”“Alexander Davis? What a coincidence? Wasn't his child also kidnapped before this?”“That’s it! He thought the people who kidnapped her daughter could be the same people who kidnapped mine. So, he followed
