At Lesley Krait’s mansion, Quin remained seated inside the car for a while after he had turned off the engine.“Is everything alright? Why are we still in the car?” Viola asked after seeing that Quin had been inside the car for so long without making a move or even saying anything.“I cant believe that I have a son.” Quin said with a voice that almost sounded like a whisper.“Who could have thought?” He sighed softly, turning to face Viola who had nothing to say to him at that moment. “What’s his name?” Quin asked, getting rid of the silence that had endured for a while.“Cole, his name is Cole,” Viola said and Quin chuckled softly.“That’s the name we said we were going to give our son if we got married.” “Yeah. You remembered.” Viola smiled, but her smile didn’t last for so long.“There!” She pointed at the four men walking out of the mansion. “Lesley…” Quin grunted the moment he set his eyes on the man they had come to see.“We need to hurry, Quin. He is on his way out!” Viola w

Lesley was furious and apprehensive at that moment. He looked around him, and when he saw that Quin was not ready to leave, he turned to face the two men who were eager to fight for him.“Get him!” He ordered and they nodded. “I asked you to leave, Quin. But you are too stubborn. You have always been this way, that’s why you ruined things for me seven years ago!”“Well, I am glad that you still remember, Lesley. And I am about to ruin something else for you. Let’s be quick about this, tell me what you injected into the boy and we will be out of here.” Quin was gradually losing his patience. But even though Quin could see it clearly, he believed that the two men could be able to handle him.“I am tired of hearing his voice! Get him!” The men nodded, and then they moved to grab Quin while Viola stayed out of the way in fear.Quin took out the men like they were little children, and when the third man tried to attack him when he thought he wasn’t looking, Quin grabbed him by the neck

Quin was filled with several thoughts by the time he woke up the next morning. In an attempt to get rid of some of the thoughts that left him restless the previous day, he picked up the little box and opened it. Then he took out the black stone and began to carefully look at it again.“What are you?” He asked with a whisper without expecting any response. After several minutes of trying to figure out what the stone was for, he returned it to the box and kept the box safe.Then a call came on his phone, and he picked up the device and answered. “Quin? I need you!” Lady Xerxes’ voice resonated from the other end of the line.“Are you okay? Is everything alright?” Quin asked, sensing the nervousness from the sound of the voice.“I can’t tell, Quin! I need you to come to the house. Please!” Lady Xerxes replied with an apprehensive tone, and then the call ended. Quin was confused. He looked at the phone without knowing if he was to call back or hurry to the Lincoln Villa where he knew

Quin saw the two phone numbers boldly written with blue ink on the back of the picture, but she didn’t know what they were meant for. “Those are the numbers of the men who were calling Owen to threaten him before he was arrested. He left that picture somewhere safe for me, and I found it and kept it.” Lady Bianca said to get rid of the curiosity in Quin’s mind.“I think they should help.” She added, staring Quin right in the eyes. Quin looked at the numbers at the back of the picture for the umpteenth time, and then he sighed.“Fine. We will call them, and I hope they answer.” Quin grabbed his phone from his pocket and dialed the first number he saw. “Is it ringing?” Lady Bianca asked anxiously, and he shook his head at once, causing her worry to increase.“Maybe you should try the other one.” She said, but Quin decided to try the number one more time before moving to the other one.“It’s ringing…” He said after a few seconds, and Lady Bianca drew closer while she waited anxiously
CH-75
Quin looked at the screen of the phone as soon as the call ended, but he wasn’t certain of what to think about the situation.“Something is off. Why would she be sounding that way?” He asked himself, but he couldn’t figure out anything.Then he decided to leave at once for the Lincoln Villa.“Where are you going?” Viola asked as soon as she saw him dressing up and picking up the key to one of his cars.“A friend seems to be in trouble. But I will be back as soon as I can.”“A friend?” Viola didn’t seem to like what Quin said to her, but it didn’t look like she had any other choice.“Call me if you need anything. Aunty?” Quin turned to face Lady Bianca with a smile on his face. “I will be back as early as I can, I promise.” He pecked her on her left cheek, waved at his son, and hurried out of the mansion. He drove to the Lincoln in his blue Bentley, and from a distance, he could already sense the emptiness in the house. Before getting into the mansion, he dialed Xerxes’ number, but

As soon as Quin fell to the ground, Austin hurriedly grabbed the file from him, got into his car, and sped, thinking that he had killed him. Quin pushed himself up from the ground, and then he looked at his back and saw the bullet where it was plunged into the wall. Austin didn’t know that he had dodged it. He got into his car as well, and went after Austin, accelerating as fast as he could. But he made sure that he kept a far distance behind him so that he could go unnoticed. Unaware that he was being trailed, Austin drove to another mansion that was down the hill. He parked right in front of the luxurious building and got out with the file he was holding onto.Quin stopped his car, and then he looked into the premises of the mansion and saw that Austin was not standing alone. With him were three other men, and they seemed to have been waiting for his arrival for a long time. “Those idiots, they never learn,” Quin grunted as soon as he recognized two of the men Austin was with,

There was silence, but the two men could hear their heartbeats, and it seemed like it was in unison with the thudding sound of Quin’s steps. “No! You stay where you are! Stay right there!” Stan tried to gather his courage, but he couldn’t. The fear that had gotten into him already told him that Quin was not going to stop until he got what he wanted.“Let’s start with you.” Quin grabbed Ivan by his neck, and then he slammed the statue on his right thigh, causing him to let out a scream, and then he fell to the ground and began to whimper in pain.“My leg! Y leg, you idiot!” He grabbed his leg with both hands, but he had to let go almost immediately when he realized that holding onto it was causing him more pain. “I need you to let me go, Quin! I will give you anything you want! Just let me go, man!” Stan pleaded, but Quin was not ready to listen to him.“Your turn,” Quin growled at him, and while Ivan was still grunting in pain, he grabbed Stan by the neck and slammed his head on the

“Get up!” Quin grabbed Austin with both hands and then he pushed him against the car beside him, causing him to grunt in pain. “I am only going to ask once, Austin. Where is your sister?” He asked, but Austin refused to speak. He was upset, but he still decided to give him one more chance to tell him what he wanted to hear. “Where is your sister, Damn it?!”“I don’t know! I haven’t seen her since two days!”“That’s a lie!” Quin grabbed Austin’s head with both hands and broke the side mirror of the car with it.“My head! My head! It’s bleeding!” Austin cried, placing his hand on the wound on his forehead. “I am not going to ask again, Austin. I am just going to continue hitting you until you decide to tell me where your sister is.” Quin lifted his hand to hit Austin, and he held up his hand to stop him at once.“Stop! Stop, okay?!” Austin was afraid, but he was still not ready to speak. “Are you ready to speak now?” Quin asked and he nodded in response. “Good.” Quin let go of him

Quin’s steps were very slow as he made his way through the back of the safe house. The stench of hard drugs and alcohol attacked his nostrils, but he kept his mind focused as he scoured in search of Lady Xerxes. He moved around slowly, making sure that his feet made little or no sound, but there was still no trace of her.Then he heard the sound of metal by the right corner of the hallway where he stood, causing him to turn at once.He saw two huge men with axes, but before he could take cover they had already seen him with their eyes red, their teeth snarling and their boots thudding as they marched aggressively to attack him.“I am just here to search for my friend, guys. She is pretty and about this tall with long hair and lovely eyes. I am sure she must have been putting on a very nice outfit before you guys took her.” Quin said with a smirk on his face, but the men didn’t care to listen to him.“Did you hear what I said? I just told you guys that I am here in search of my friend

While Hailey moved away, stepping backward into the darkness, Quin tried to see if he could know where she was heading, but some of the men blocked his view, making it impossible to see where she had gone.“What the hell?!” He grunted in annoyance, and then he snarled at the man standing right in front of him with a long rod in his hands.“I see you are going to be the first to fall.” Quin scoffed at him, and because the man thought that he was going to be able to beat Quin up, he attacked without any warning, attempting to hit Quin on the neck. Quin grabbed his rod and held onto it in the air, and then he gave him a head-butt. Some of his cohorts tried to grab Quin, but they all got sent sprawling by kicks and punches to their faces, causing them to whimper in pain.Quin continued throwing punches and kicks at the others until there was no single man left. He walked in the middle of the men on the ground, and then he attempted to locate the exact place Hailey went to. He saw two d
