"Speak," Kent said, his voice firm, as they sat down in the private room provided by the doctor."We've already gotten the informant this morning," Anthony said, referring to Franco's capture. "We can fish out some information from him."Kevin nodded his head in agreement. "Do you think it might be him?" Eric asked, his brow furrowed Kent scoffed, his expression serious. "Who else do you think is after the Ken family except him?" he asked, his tone laced with sarcasm.“He has been trying to take us down for years. It's no surprise he's behind this." Anthony said"What about the rest of the culprits?" Kent asked, his eyes raging with fire."They're in the basement, except Alfred," Fred replied. "He's waiting for your judgment."Kent's smirk grew wider as he heard that. Now that his wife was awake and safe, he couldn't wait to unleash his wrath on Alfred."We need to be fast with the interrogation," Kent said, his brow furrowed with concern. "I don't want any of us to be hurt again."F
After chatting in the hospital for a while, Lisa stood up to leave. "I'm heading to the office to take care of some things, okay?" she said, while gathering her belongings.The guys also had their own tasks to attend to, so it was decided that Jenny would stay with August, as she was less busy. "Okay, babes," August said, smiling gratefully at her friends. "Thanks for coming". She said to them."If you need anything, just call me, okay?" Kent said softly to August, as his eyes were filled with concern."How long will you take?" August asked, pouting her lips. She didn't want him to leave."Are you missing your hubby already?" Anita asked in a teasing voice while smiling mischievously.August smiled sweetly at her and said. "Yes, I'm already missing him." She just couldn't help it.Jenny rolled her eyes and said to her friend. "So shameless."Kent chuckled and said . "Don't worry, babe, I won't be out for too long. I'll be done soon and get back to you." He squeezed her hand and assu
In the other room, Franco stared at the guys in horror, his eyes wide with fear. He was being tortured by Jack, who was no less skilled than John. Jack's expertise in torture was top-notch, which was why he was made the head of the bodyguards. Franco's body was already battered and bruised, he was already screaming in agony."Please spare me, I was just taking orders from the big boss," Franco begged, his voice barely above a whisper. He could hardly speak, but he had to try and stop the pain. His eyes pleaded with them to show mercy, but they just stared back at him with cold, hard faces."I need names," Anthony said coldly, his eyes cold. "Who was behind the plot to take down the Ken family?" He asked him.Franco gulped his saliva in fear, afraid to mention the big boss's name. But he had no choice. He was still contemplating when he felt a hot object on his body, making him scream like a pig being slaughtered. The smell of burning flesh filled the air."Any further delay means do
"How is Franco?" Kent suddenly asked,"He's still in the room," Anthony responded, "but I don't know for how long. He's pretty beaten up.""Very good, we will be needing him," Kent smirked and said, his eyes gleaming with a plan."What do you intend to do with him?" Eric asked curiously ."What is the best way to catch someone?" Kent smirked and asked Eric, who chuckled and said, "using the person close to him.""Woah, nice one, man," Fred said, impressed."But Franco is not close enough with Victor," Anthony said after much thought, his brow furrowed in concern."He doesn't need to be close to get to him," Kent chuckled, a sly grin spreading across his face. "We can use this to our advantage."Kent's eyes locked onto Jack, and he said, "Do something for me, Jack. I want you to ask Franco if he had called Victor's assistant to tell him about the accident.""Ok, sir”. Jack said and bowed before leaving the office to carry out the task.Shortly after, Jack returned, and said. "No, sir,
"What do you mean he did something unforgettable, Dad?" Kevin asked, curiosity etched on his face.Luke sighed, his eyes red from rage, and took a deep breath before responding, "He killed my mother."The guys' eyes widened in shock. "What?" they exclaimed in unison, their voices laced with disbelief.Kent's face scrunched up in confusion. "I thought Grandma died in an accident?" He remembered the day vividly, he was only ten years old when he heard the news of his grandmother's passing. The story was that she had died on the spot due to an accident."I thought Grandma had an accident," Kent repeated, his frown deepening as he stared at his father. "Why are you telling us this now?"Luke's expression turned grim. "Because you deserve to know the truth. Victor's actions have haunted me for years, and it's time you knew why I have never mentioned him to any of you".Kent was still trying to process his father’s words, when reality hit him hard. He immediately gasped and asked,"Was it a
As the guys left the ancestral mansion,they headed to the garage where their car was parked, just then Kent's phone rang. He stopped in his tracks and brought out his phone from his pocket before answering when he saw that it was his wife. "Hello, babe”. He said as soon as he picked it up.August's voice immediately came through, she asked in a whining tone . "Where are you, babe? You've been out for a long time now."Kent chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Is Mrs. Ken missing her dear husband?""Of course, babe," August replied softly.Kent knew her too well; he could almost see her pouting lips, so he said, "Don't worry, babe, I will be there soon."August quickly said, "While you are at it, can you buy food for me?"Kent's tone turned concerned and angry. "You haven't eaten since then?"August cleared her throat, and glanced at the tasteless food on the table. Jenny had brought her food, but it was bland and unappetizing. "I have eaten, but I'm still hungry," she lied.
After finishing their meal, Kent stood up to clear the dishes, his movements were smooth and tidy. Once he was done, he headed to the bathroom to wash his hands before returning to the ward."Do you want to sleep?" he asked her with a gentle voice, but August pouted her lips and put on a sad expression. "No, I've been sleeping too much since I got here. I don't like this hospital; I just want to go home." Her voice was laced with a whine, she was trying to hide her frustration, but it was not working.Kent walked closer, his eyes filled with understanding. "Come on, babe, you need to be monitored, okay? Just endure it for a little while longer." He said as he tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.August sighed, and sagged her shoulders. "I know, babe, but I just don't like it here." She took a deep breath and said to Kent.Kent's expression softened. "Just endure it for a while, babe. You'll be home soon." August nodded her head and smiled a little."Why don't you rest?" Kent
Victor exhaled a long puff of smoke from his cigarette and asked his assistant, "Any news yet?"The assistant shook his head. "No, sir. We haven't been able to reach Franco to confirm the outcome. We have tried various channels to check if it is a success, but it seems like our efforts are being blocked."Victor's face darkened, his expression disapproving. "Incompetent," he muttered, his voice so cold and he looked really angry.The assistant quickly bowed his head and apologized . "Sorry, sir."Just then, Victor's phone rang, breaking the silent atmosphere . He brought out his phone from his pocket and glanced at the screen and saw an unknown number. Without hesitation, he disconnected the call. But the caller persisted, ringing again and again. On the fourth call, he was about to disconnect it again, when he heard his boss' chilling voice. "Pick it up." Victor said coldly as he stared at his assistant.The assistant nodded his head and answered the call, putting it on speakerphon
