At this time, Sett was feeling groggy as he slowly lifted his head away from the bed of his father, Charles, who was sleeping soundly. Sett stretched out his limbs, then he scratched his left cheek. Yesterday, he had volunteered that he would be right beside his parents, as there had to be someone to accompany his father while he was recovering his muscles that had gone stiff after months of not moving. Now that he thought about it, little Nini was persistent as she too wanted to accompany her dad. But to her disappointment, she was instead sternly reprimanded by her father, Charles, telling her that she still had to go to school and that she could only visit him at the weekend or after school.With that being said, Sett let out a breath. "Oh son, your leaving?"Sett nodded as he prepared some of his stuff while making small talk with his father, Charles. It could be seen that their father-son relationship was great."Son, be careful on your way," Charles said as he smiled, feeling
Sheila tilted her head in confusion, but then she noticed something was wrong. She was alarmed, especially when those men in masks got out of the black wing van and aggressively approached her with unkind eyes that showed hostility. That's when it finally hit her; her watery eyes widened in fright.However, just as she was about to cry out for help before she could do so, one of the men sprayed Sheila's face with a sleeping reagent. 'No..." Sheila struggled for a moment, dropping her handbag and spilling the plastic bag that was full of fruit. It didn't take long as she passed out.Everything was done professionally... And not a single soul in the vicinity noticed a young girl's disappearance. On top of that, the way the hospital's complex building walls were at bad angles and the positioning of the black wing van made it nearly impossible for anyone to spot that a young lady was just taken by unknown men. And the black wing van didn't even have a plate number.It was past sunset, a
There was unrest in the city, and the local police were dispatched by a certain powerful individual to conduct an investigation on a much larger scale. The media and the news stations had spread Sheila's portrait throughout the city. There was also news that one of the wealthiest individuals in the city, who owned the famous winery, issued a reward that shocked the whole city of Darian. After all, whoever had information about Sheila would get at least ten percent of the said twenty billion dollars!And indeed, there were numerous individuals calling themselves witnesses, but that too ended up in total failure. It was a dead end. Why? Because these people were merely after the money. Although they knew how to grill the witness, he ended up as a suspect instead.Presently, at the plaza, Sett could be seen sitting on the wooden bench while a dog kept barking at him as he watched the blue sky with his dark eyes. Suddenly, the man with the brown coat put down his hat, showing his bald
Sheila was wallowing in her thoughts as she gritted her teeth, preparing herself for Don Alfonso, this old pervert, to do his worse, but against all her expectations, Don Alfonso let out a burst of laughter. He wiped his tears away. It was quite rare to see a ruthless person like Don Alfonso laugh so hard. Then, he spoke slowly. "How fierce! I like that. Has anyone ever told you that you are the perfect hostage?"Don Alfonso's sudden mood swings made her puzzled. She had always thought he was the type of guy who did not show emotion. But it didn't seem to be the case. She was really unable to read his thoughts.Don Alfonso sat on the bed beside Sheila. He smiled at the nervous Sheila, then he intimately scattered Sheila's hair, despite her trying to avoid being touched, by his filthy hand!It was unfortunate that she was bound, unable to fight back. Don Alfonso took advantage of this as he caressed Sheila's cheeks, something that only a couple would do. Don Alfonso grins widely wh
On the pathway toward the Ratherfords' mansion, Sett and two other men could be seen.Sett was following behind the two tall figures in front of him. They were Ivan Pushkin and Koji Shindo. They were his grandfather Mark's old subordinates, seasoned veterans of war.They were also there at the casino and helped him win against Master Marco. Presently, Ivan and Koji were being confronted by the guards, and on their shirts was a unique insignia indicating that they were members of the Ratherford family.As to why they were in Ratherfords territory, actually, it was pretty evident when Sett had received some information from that greedy FBI detective. Only after he gave him some cash did he cooperate.He immediately spilled the beans that a similar car was seen entering the outskirts of the Ratherford territory, although it wasn't enough to assume that the Ratherford were responsible, to Sett, that was all he needed to confirm that those abductors had something to do with them.At that m
There was a brief stillness in the air and everyone could feel it. Just then, Don Alfonso makes his appearance as he steps forward, breaking the silence."Now, now everyone should calm down first, and not trouble one another." Don Alfonso flashed a smile at his men, although he appeared to be genuinely concerned and his men believed him. Unfortunately, not everyone was having the same game as him."Where is my wife?" Sett solemnly spoke, while still clenching the left side of his head. He wasn't planning on beating around the bush."What are you talking about?" Don Alfonso replied, feigning ignorance. He even turned to one of the elders and said. "Did you see his wife?""Family head, it is unfortunate, but we don't know anything about his wife." The first elder said, bowing to Don Alfonso as he retreated."See, I told you we don't know anything about your wife." Don Alfonso told Sett, with a big smile glued on his face. His acting was just too good that even Ivan doubted for a second
No one would have thought that despite the two young masters fighting against a single unknown individual, they would still lose. Every member of the Ratherford family was stunned and speechless.At the same time, they were also disappointed by the result. After all, it was their young master that was beaten up. One was injured while the other was being held, hostage.However, Don Alfonso and the elderly had gloomy expressions on their faces. That was to be expected, as they were the ones that had given approval for the fight, and it ended up being catastrophic.But there was something that had been bothering them about how the Crossword family managed to train a monster like Sett. Wasn't that family supposed to be a third-rate family? A family that could barely maintain their position by sucking up to others? How in the world did they create a genius...."Don't make me repeat myself, Don Alfonso, because... I'm losing it." Sett spoke in a frightening tone. He could barely hold himsel
Seeing Glenn and his men suddenly blocking his path made Sett standstill; nevertheless, he didn't take off his unfeeling eyes at Don Alfonso, who was on the ground, appearing miserable. This would make one wonder if he was still the hero of the City of Darian that everyone knew and respected. "...." Sett maintained his silence without any hint of expression on his face.Glenn could be seen clicking his tongue. It was beyond him that his uncle, who was a military man, would be pushed this far by a mere nobody! This was getting on his nerves. Should he just ask his guards to kill him? That shouldn't be difficult with their strength, right?Just then..."!" Glenn was surprised as he caught a glimpse of the dead bodies behind Sett, and they were mostly elderly members of the Ratherford family. But what really caught his attention was the grey-robed elder who was lying beside Sett. It was the second elder!Is this b*stard still human? How could he get rid of the second elder on top of a
