“Impossible! This is total bullshit!” Don Pedro growled, his eyes sparking with rage as he looked at the screen of the iPad. “How was he able to do this?!” He almost cracked the screen with his vibrating thumb, his eyes moving from one end to the other. He lifted his face after a few seconds, turning to Travis who stood in front of him like a branchless tree.“How did this happen?! I thought that silly Detective was supposed to handle Brian!”As usual, Travis had nothing to say.He looked away, his eyes staring at the table at his right. “Clegane was supposed to have him locked up, Grandpa…” Travis tried to keep his voice stable, but the fierceness he saw in the old man’s eyes wouldn’t let him.It was menacing; the kind of countenance that could make anyone have a heart attack. “I knew we couldn’t trust him, Grandpa.” Travis tried to shift the focus, gnashing his teeth as he approached silently.“I knew that Clegane was going to do something like this. He couldn’t just ha

While Travis voiced out his rage, he felt the relief that sprang into his body from the moment he saw the old man crushing the device. “Now that your evidence has been destroyed, what other weapon do you have for your little quest? I am sure you didn’t think it through, Brian. Walking into this place with your little self to try to blackmail us.” He snorted, clenching his fists and ready to throw a punch.But he was still a coward, once and always. Don Pedro cleared his throat, drawing the attention of everyone.But he wanted Brian to look at him before he could speak, staring silently until he finally did. “How did Arya even get married to such an idiot like you? How unintelligent can you be?” He grunted, his eyes sparking with contempt. “My daughter married a bingo, and now my Granddaughter has gotten married to a worse breed of animal. What kind of curse is this?” He gnashed his teeth, glaring at Brian. Then he was able to see clearly; the wry smile that had refused to

“Where is Arya? Where is my daughter?!” She was desperate for an answer, still moving her eyes until she saw Travis still curled up on the couch. “Travis?” She drew closer to him, a concerned look on her face.“What’s wrong? Why are you in tears?” She sat next to him, grabbed and pulled him closer.“Who did this to you?” She asked the moment she saw the blood, turning to the old man as though she already knew the answer.Don Pedro’s scowl confirmed her thought, but she needed to be sure, returning her gaze to her son. Travis sniffled, then he lifted his head.“I didn’t do it, Mum! This bastard must have hacked into my phone and posted it!” He turned to Brian, breathing heavily. “What are you talking about?” Jemima turned to Brian, bemusement etched on her face.“What’s going on, Brian? What’s Travis talking about?” She asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Brian sighed heavily, then he moved his eyes to the phone. Jemima understood the gesture, turning to her left.

“Oh, they are your cousins!” The middle-aged man snorted, transferring the same aggression to Brian.“This makes it even more interesting!” He nodded, gnashing his teeth. “Maybe I will roast you as well. You look like you will take a while before you burn to ashes.” He stated, observing Brian from the little space between them. The next second, the sinister smile on his face vanished, replaced by a scowl. “Your little cousins made a terrible mistake the moment they touched my precious child. My only child!” He clenched his fists, showing his white knuckles. His eyes were still on Brian, but only for two extra seconds. “Get the gallon and pour the fuel! Take this one too and throw him into the house!” The man ordered, pointing to Brian.One of his men grabbed the gallon while two others moved to grab Brian just as their boss had instructed. The two were in a hurry, approaching with snarls on their faces. Brian didn’t look at them, his attention was drawn to their cohort

“If that is how you want it, so be it.” Brian nodded, a wry smile on his face. “I hope your daughter wouldn’t be in so much pain when she sees you on the floor.” “What did you just say to me?” Kai growled, then he freed himself from his daughter’s grip, marching forward to Brian. His eyes were still glittering with rage, his right fist clenched while he reached for his jacket pocket with his other hand.“Here is what you have asked for.” He said quietly, showing the key he had taken out, his teeth grinding against each other. “Come get it, if you can.” He dared Brian, fury sparking in his eyes.His vigor was palpable, like stagnant water that was never going to run dry.His eyes flashed with disdain, his teeth still grinding as though they were about to crush Brian between them.Silently, his daughter hailed him from the back, already celebrating her father’s victory before it could happen.She turned to Brian, and her smug smile vanished for a second, replaced by contemp
