The Legend Of Rayden Arsenio Chapter 20: Deciding On An Agreement
Upon Rayden's contemplation about what they had discussed last night with Boss Joe, he found himself wrestling with a difficult decision. The sight of the captives being mistreated at the mining site had stirred a deep sense of compassion within him.He couldn't bear to watch their suffering any longer. However, Boss Joe's proposition lingered in his mind, tempting him with the promise of freedom for himself and some of the captives if he succeeded in targeting Madam Lara's wealth.As Rayden toiled away at the construction site later that afternoon, his eyes kept drifting towards the captives, their shoulders slumped under the weight of their burdens.He yearned to intervene, to stand up against the injustices being inflicted upon them. But in that moment, Boss Joe's voice cut through the air, breaking his train of thought."You can help your fellow captives if you follow my deal," Boss Joe said with a sly smile. "While there's still time, you must decide. Watch them suffer here, or t

He had always held a healthy dose of fear for this woman, fully aware of her vast network of connections, especially with high-ranking government officials.Madam Lara's decision to collaborate with him was solely driven by her desire to work alongside Boss Joe, a fact that both intimidated and fascinated him."Ah, Madam Lara, it brings me great pleasure to have you here," Boss Joe greeted her, a hint of nervousness evident in his voice.

Isabelle still haunted his thoughts, and he couldn't help but feel a lingering affection for the young lady."It seems like you've been discreetly watching that singer for a while now, huh? Do you have feelings for her?" Madam Lara asked with a mischievous grin, holding a champagne glass."Sorry...I just need to excuse myself," Rayden quickly stood up from his seat."Where are you going?" Madam Lara asked inquisitively.Rayden paused and glanced back at her. "To the comfort room," he replied before making his way there."Are you feeling unwell?"Rayden heard her question but didn't respond. He simply continued to the r

Rayden admitted to Madam Lara that the girl was his former sweetheart. She supposedly divorced him since he was only a fisherman and Isabelle stood to gain nothing from him."Is that so? Poor you. So you want to go abroad because you want to rise in life?" questioned the madam."That's right." Rayden bent down, as if he detested Isabelle's affection."But what's worse is that Rosalinda caught you. She brought you to Joe's power to make you a slave. You were really unlucky, Rayden. You were already caught by the syndicate..." Madam Lara laughed, but it changed when she remembered something: "We're in the same place right now."Rayden's head dropped back as he asked, "What do you mean we're in the same place?""We're in the same situation because I'm alone in this mansion; I'm lonely and have no companion; my only hobby is going to bars and playing casino games." The champagne glass was passed to the little table, and tequila was added.Rayden scoffed," I just now know that the cool Mad

Renante was astonished when his friend stopped him. It frowned. He stared at his companion with curiosity."Is there a problem, Rayden?" Renante inquired."Let's not do it. I feel a little guilty for Madam," Rayden replied gently."What about the captives? Are you just going to let them die at the hands of that broken boss Joe?" determined Renante's language.Rayden breathed a sigh of relief, "maybe there's another way? Let's talk to Boss Joe again about making us do something different? Maybe he'll understand.""Rayden, Boss Joe isn't like that. He's not the guy you think you're going to beg for. That lump looks like money." Renante promised definitely.A moment of quiet engulfed the surroundings."What are you afraid of, ah? Madam's guards aren't here inside the house...""Renante, I feel sorry for Madam. She is not the person we think is bad. She is different. She is sophisticated when she acts and speaks but she also has feelings. Can you imagine that, huh?" Rayden's words to a bu

"Alright, I'm willing," Madam Lara responded."Thank you very much, Madam. But, will you give us the jewels?" asked Rayden.Madam thought before responding."I'll take care of it…"Renante inquired, "So, what are we going to do, Rayden?"Before moving on, they exchanged glances. Rayden and Renante are currently outside Madam Lara's residence. It was past eleven o'clock at night, so there were very few automobiles on the road passingby.They strolled a few meters away from Madam Lara's house and came to a stop at a corner. Renante seemed uneasy."Buddy, what are you looking at there, huh? Are you looking for something?" Rayden inquired.Renante continued to stare into the horizon, "I'm just waiting for someone.""Who?""Boss Joe's car. The driver who delivered me said he would only return to me by midnight.""Are they still coming?""They will come. I'm sure..."The two waited on the Bermuda Grass, waiting for someone to pick them up. They looked up, and the notes unfolded in front of

After opening the door, Boss Joe entered his office with two staff members. He signaled for them to just stand in the corner near the door. He drew Rayden close and sat down."Come on, you two." He motioned to them.Renante was hesitant to sit, so Rayden sat first."What, are you going to sit down or not?" Boss Joe scoffed at Renante.Renante sat down, saying, "Yes, that's it.""What is going on with you, and why are you so worried?" the boss asked, his eyes narrowing."Ah… Nothing.""It's like you saw a ghost, huh?"Renante didn't respond and instead gazed at Rayden. Rayden briefly approached employer Joe, telling him about the jewelry he and Renante had received."That's what you've been waiting for," Rayden remarked."Good, let's see." Boss Joe handed over the bag containing the jewelry.His eyes widened when he noticed them. He took a piece. He first took the necklace with white pearls and a diamond at the end."Wow," he said, "this is so beautiful. Do you think it would suit my b
