CHAPTER 119 Jack had only ten men left and about fifty of Bethany’s men were still lodged inside the mansion. She knew she had Jack outgunned and outnumbered and there was nothing Jack could do to get himself out of the fix he just got himself into. Bethany had gotten someone willing to do her bidding regarding the AI weapon she was planning to build through Alicia’s software but she had learnt about Jack’s trouble with the Carters and chaos was where she got her bread and butter. “It’s quite an impressive show you have put on Jack Bolton but it ends right here, right now,” She said, chuckling and applauding as she came out of the house. Jack immediately recognized her as the woman who had complimented him and Alicia that day as a couple and later defended him against those armed men. He remembered asking Alicia to look into her and never getting any feedback. Could they have been working together? Now that he thought about it, it was unlike Alicia to not carry out his request wit
CHAPTER 120Bethany had learned about Jack’s issue with the Island from Alicia and she had done her own work to see what it was all about and a way that she could profit from the chaos. She knew Jack was at a crossroads and the promise of possibly getting a part of the treasure was luring to her.Once she found a russian investor to fund Alicia’s project under her own terms, her next move was to make an ally out of Jack and make money for herself from him by baiting him with help on the Island and his treasure, provided she got something in return. If Jack disagreed, her next move was to capture and torture him to death, so he doesnt pose more problems for her.“Let me ask you a question Jack. What is more important to you right now? A woman who lied to and used you or your new Island and the treasure hidden deep beneath its caves?” Bethany asked with a mischievous smile on her face, stepping down from the veranda and walking slowly towards Jack.Jack frowned when he heard her words, t
CHAPTER 121The glow around Jack’s feet continued to grow and spread all around him. Some of Bethany’s men stood in awe of what their eyes were witnessing and fear gripped a majority of them. “What are you standing and looking at him for? Kill him! Kill him!” Bethany yelled in subtle fear and vivid astonishment. She could not believe what her eyes were seeing. She had heard of humans having mystical and magical powers but in all her years of reigning supreme over the crime world, she had never come in contact with one.She pushed one of her men who was watching as Jack’s body turned into a full glow and took his gun from him, yelling and shooting at him frantically. “Die. Die. Die. Die, you son of a bitch!”Jack’s eyes turned fully black. He felt an odd sensation rise from the sole of his feet to the crown of his head. He felt light, almost like he was floating mid air but a surge of power, great and electryfying power was corsing through every cell in his body, he could feel it in ev
CHAPTER 122Alicia scoffed in Bethany’s face. A defiant and rebellious look etched deep in her eyes. “You think I’m scared to die? I would gladly welcome it with open arms. Do it. Kill me. Kill me, except you are fucking coward hiding behind a fake mask of bravery. Do itt, I dare you,” The tone of her voice was even more rebellious than the look in her eyesBethany frowned deeply. Alicia was her cash cow. She was the one person whose life Bethany probably valued more than hers. Even earlier when she threatens to kill her in front of Jack, it was a bluff to get Jack to back off.“I will kill you but for now, I just need you quiet,” Bethany said, about to smash Alicia’s head with the side of her gun to render her unconscious when a hand suddenly grabbed her and threw her three feet away from Alicia, sending her crashing into the wall behind her and making her lose the gun and the remote detonator she was holding.Eagle smirked. “I would have enjoyed killing you but for some reason, the
CHAPTER 123Through the pain, Bethany chuckled sinisterly. “You are going to have to do more than this to break me, Jack Bolton. I’ve endured worse,” She spat out in a venomous tone.Jack walked closer to her. With the way she was suspended and her toes barely grazing the floor, their heights were almost on par. Jack looked deeply into her eyes and came to the shocking realisation that they had such similar eyes and the nudging feeling that he knew her somewhere returned but he needed the information she had more than he cared about such sentiments.“You will tell me what I need to know or you will suffer, painfully and slowly,” Jack said in a low and menacingly frightening tone.“And I thought you were a man with morals, with principles, but look at you, gloating in my face about torturing a wo-”Her voice was cut short as she yelled in pain when Eagle pressed another button and electric current zapped through her unexpectedly. Jack scoffed as Bethany winced in pain but still lookin
CHAPTER 124A very big grin contorted Jack’s lips and his eyes lit up with mischievousness before they turned cold again. “I was hoping you would say something like that. Let’s begin. Shall we?”Eagle returned with Jack’s six clip revolver and handed it to him with the bullets in a pack.“Bring her down and strap her to a chair,” Jack ordered, as he began to unbox the bullet pack and took one out, placing it inside the gun and closing it.Eagle swiftly did as he was told and in a few seconds, Jack was sitting cross legged and leaning back into a chair watching Bethany’s electrocuted, bloodied and weakened frame in front of him and he felt no pity for her whatsoever. Maybe two or three days ago, Jack would have taken into consideration the fact that she was a woman but he was far from that mindset now. She would have killed him mercilessly that night and her minion, Alicia, was a woman. One that warmed her way into his heart only to cold heartedly betray him and leave him in pain, alt
CHAPTER 125 Alice had been wanting to visit her children for a while now but because of obvious reasons, Jack had been finding one excuse or the other to stop her from coming but that night when Jack hit another level of his power, Alice felt it and she knew it was important that she see him and be sure of what she suspected. Not telling anyone what she was up to, she took her private jet and flew straight to Coral city to meet her kids. It was when she landed at the airport that she called Mildred to pick her up with specific instructions not to tell Jack anything as she wanted to surprise him. “Where’s your brother? I can’t find him in his room and he’s not in his study either. I thought you said he was home,” Alice asked Mildred when they got home and one of the guards carelessly answered before Mildred could think of a way to stall and alert Jack of her presence in the house. “He’s in the special room.” “He has a special room, what makes it so special?” Alice asked with her ey
CHAPTER 126“Your scar, how did you get it?” Alice asked Bethany, sipping from her cup and pointing it towards the mark. She was curious to know more. If there was even a slight chance that this woman was Jack’s birth mother, she wanted to find out. She wondered how such a revelation would affect the dynamic of the whole situation, both from Jack and Bethany’s end.“I would have an answer for you if it was a damn scar,” Bethany replied harshly, her eyes fixed on the musical video playing on the TV as she slowly bobbed her heard to the rythm of the tune. Bethany couldn’t care less about what Alicia was asking her such a question for. In her head, she just wanted the damn woman to be as far away from her as posible. The only reason she had in fact not attacked her was because she knew she was being watched and a slight misstep may lead to her ultimately losing her life again.The dark abyss she was sucked into after Jack blew her brains out was more torment and torture than she could ev
