CHAPTER 163-THE ADOPTION "You have just one day to complete this task and nothing more. I will no longer tolerate your incompetence. You've failed me twice now, this is your last chance and you better use it wisely,"the big boss said as the line went dead."Shit, does the big boss think it's that easy to accomplish this task, this has been more difficult than he thought it would be,"Mr Richard lamented to himself.He is very tired of everything at this point and he doesn't know the best way to go about the issue. And he's not certain that the dragon squad will be able to get to Tony within the time limit. How was he going to carry on with this task now?He sat on his chair in a stud, he just wanted this to be over with as soon as possible. As he sat in his seat deep in thought he suddenly remembered he had someone who could get the job done. He couldn't put all his hope in just one basket at this point and needed to act as quickly as possible.He immediately picked his phone up and s
CHAPTER 164THE TORTURE "Hello Collins, there's no need for blood shed, I'm just going to ask you one question and I need your straight forward answer except you've decided to die for your friend. Where is your friend Tony!" Mr Richard asked as he folded his leg together patiently waiting for Collins' answer.Collins knew that the sole reason why he was kidnapped was because they couldn't locate Tony. Tony knew they were going to come for him so he asked to leave and he did without knowing what his friend was planning to do."Tony, why am I being questioned about Tony. I am neither his mother nor his family relative. So why me,"Collins asked, his voice shaking. His demeanour was filled with fear and he was visibly shaking."Is that even a question for you to ask, from my informant, you're Tony's best friend and his closest ally. He doesn't do anything without informing you about it. He also doesn't have any close relatives linked to him. So now I will ask again where Tony is,"Mr Ric
CHAPTER 165-TORTURE MEETS MONEY Mr Richard picked up the nail puller and pulled out one of Collins nails and he screamed out in excruciating pain.it felt like his bone was being yanked off his body. Never had he felt this way before in his life.Mr Richards men pinned him down stretching out his hands again on the torture table.Collins started struggling with the men to free him, he didn't want to go through that excruciating pain again but he couldn't free him, the men overpowered him and forced his hands on the table again. " Where is your friend Tony, I don't like repeating myself Collins and you've been making me do that repeatedly and I don't like it," Mr Richard said in irritation. "What is so difficult with giving away the location of your friend, it's not like he is family, so why the fuck are you providing difficult," Mr Richard thundered in anger and slam his hand on the table."What do you want me to say? You want me to lie to you, I don't know where he his, good and fin
CHAPTER 166-COLLINS DEATH"Okay fine, if you give us Tony's location, you will be credited with 5 billion dollars immediately. Don't be scared, we do not want to kill Tony, we just want him to give us the cure, that's all and everyone will be fine!"Mr Richard said and gradually Collins blinked his eyes open.Mr Richard smiles that finally he has used the language that Collins understands. Probably he should have offered him money since and he would have given him what he wanted instead of wasting his time.Collins struggled to sit up on the ground, Peter and his boys assisted him into a sitting position, his life was dried and he badly needed to quench his taste ."Water, water ,"Collins whispered, looking at his capturers, one of the boys gave him water to drink and he felt a little hydrated. Mr Richard stood patiently because he thought he had already gotten to Collins but Collins' response caught him off guard."If I knew where Tony was, why would I be hiding it, what benefit will
CHAPTER 167BROKEN “Good afternoon everyone, today the 8th of November a body was found along the Grapevine secluded road and the body was confirmed to be the body of one Mr Collins a 32-year-old. At that point, Tony turned to the TV and found Collins's pictures being displayed as the dead victim.”Tony was so heartbroken. How could they do this to Collins? He was in a state of despair, and he was so angry. His face was still focused on the TV; the graphics of Collins were displayed on the screen, and the pictures were a big blow to him.The pictures were a disaster; the media people took their time to take the images, and photographs showed his hands and fingernails that were pulled off, this was so inhumane."How could they do this to a human being? His fingers were pulled off for both his legs and hands before finally cutting off his left hand. The victim must have been in excruciating pain and must have felt helpless that there was no one to save him," the newscaster said. Her ex
CHAPTER 168-THE WAITThis is going to be one dirty, vicious battle but he was ready for anything that comes with it. Tony got up and walked to where his laptop was. He opened it and started typing away.After sometime, Tony picked up his phone and put a call across to the guy that has been helping him,"Hello Didi , we're going to change the plans now, we need to start implementing everything that we have found so far,"Tony said all in one go."Are you sure it is time for you to do this, are you really sure about this,"Didi said from his end. He heard the News about Collins passing and he knows that must have affected Tony badly, hence his decision. So he wanted to be certain that Tony knows what he's doing."This is the right time, I've been drawing back for awhile now but now it's time to go all out, I just wanted to inform you, so you can be ready,"Tony said with an air of finality, leaving no room for augment."Okay, if that's what you want, I'll do a final check and I'll be ready

Despite the rumour going around, today was a great day for the nation.The hall was arranged with 100 seats for the invited. Prominent people from all over the country were available and even common citizens were not left out from the guest list.

The air was tense and everybody was anticipating the event.Five government officials walked into the hall and took their stand on the stage facing everyone who was present for the ceremony."Good day everyon
CHAPTER 170-MR RICHARD ARREST So they instructed the assassin by sending a quick message to him to kill Tony immediately before he starts talking. The assassin upon getting the message quietly brought out his gun since everyone was distracted nobody knew what was happening. He was properly dressed and no one will suspect that he was a hired assassin. He walked to a close range to the podium and from there he fired his shot at the man on the podium.Immediately the hall scattered everybody started running for their dear life's. The security agency was already at alert, the assassin tried to escape but he didn't realise that he was being followed closely by one of the security agents and he was shot in his right leg and he fell to the ground.He tried to stand up but he wasn't fast enough and he fell back down on his feet, he tried again but the agent had already gotten to him and he was apprehended.
