CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO “I would love to watch you try, Mr. Khan.” Marcus gave a response that the old man never expected, throwing him off balance at once. “Your son is in the Elrond Shopping Mall. That’s where you will find him.” Marcus said, and then he waved at the old man without getting rid of his wry smile. “Hurry up before your enemies find him and take him away. Bye, Mr. Khan.” He ended the call, and then he tossed the phone very close to Alfred, causing it to drop to the ground. “I think we should leave this place.” He said to Duke, and that seemed like exactly what everyone in the small room wanted to hear. Aria was the first to make a move, and then Queen followed at once. Duke didn’t seem like he was in a hurry, his eyes staring down at Alfred. “I am not sure Mr. Trevor is going to like this.” He muttered, his heart beating very fast. “Are you not leaving with us?” Marcus interrupted his thoughts, causing him to look at him at once.“I will be right behind you, Young M

“I think you should look at him before I have him punished. This won’t be the way I will return him to you.” Marcus inched closer to Alfred just to make sure that his father saw him properly. Thiago’s eyes sparked with annoyance, and he growled even though he couldn’t see Marcus.“Don’t lay your filthy hands on my son! You don’t want to know what I am capable of!” He threatened, but that didn’t seem like it was enough to deter Marcus. “I am warning you! Don’t touch my son! I will kill you!” he barked again, but Marcus scoffed, turning to the two guards who were holding Alfred down. “I want you to lay him down and flog him until I tell you to stop.” He ordered, causing the guards to arch their brows while their mouths were agape. They turned to Duke, but the old man seemed like he was also as surprised as they were as he was not expecting to get such an order from Marcus. Alfred struggled to break free, and he almost succeeded if not for the fact that the guards got a grip on them

However, Alfred didn’t seem like the only one who was shocked at that moment.The rest of the people in the room, including the guards stared at him with wide eyes, wondering what he was up to. “Found it!” Marcus chuckled softly, nodding in satisfaction. “Who saves his father’s number with just Father?” He scoffed, returning his gaze to Alfred. “That’s too simple. You made it very easy for me to find.” He taunted, leaving the middle-aged man silent. “We are going to call your father, Alfred…” Marcus continued, his voice low but sharp. “We will tell him that I have you, and that I am going to cause you the same amount of pain you inflicted on my sister. He is going to watch you shed tears. His precious son.” Alfred gasped, but yet again, he was not the only one who was shocked by what Marcus said.But the Young Master was not done speaking, returning his eyes to the screen of the phone. “Let’s call Daddy!” He sniggered, pushing the green icon. He showed the screen to the owner

CHAPTER NINETEEN Alfred’s utterance had left everyone speechless, and there was nothing to show that he was mincing his words. When he turned to the three guards, they instantly cracked their bones, waiting for the moment when he was going to tell them to grab Marcus.The tension that Queen thought was going to die down had increased, causing her to take a deep breath.She turned to Marcus, and even though he looked very calm, she couldn’t stop herself from worrying about him. “I don’t feel too good about this.” She muttered, her voice cold and slippery. Alfred was still boiling by the time she managed to return her gaze to him, but it didn’t seem as though he was going to stay calm at any moment. “Stay out of this, old man.” He growled at Duke, but the old man refused to budge, glaring back at him.“Tell your father, Khan. Tell him that he is playing with fire, Alfred. It will burn him before he knows it.” Alfred snorted, yet the old man remained still and unshaken by his demea

Queen was taken aback by the words she heard from the dangerous man.She completely understood what it meant, her eyes turning to Marcus as though she was trying to warn him against an impending danger. “What is it?” Marcus inquired, his voice barely above a whisper. “We need to find a way to get you out of here, Young Master,” Queen said with a slippery tone, slowly reaching for her phone.She turned to the guards behind them, her eyes instructing before she could say it out. Slowly, the guards dropped the chair alongside Aria, and then they began to move toward the middle-aged man and the guards with him. Alfred snorted the moment he saw the men approaching, and when his own men decided to attack, he stopped them, putting out his hands with a wry smile.“I don’t think there will be any need for violence.” He said calmly, and then he turned to Queen, still holding onto his wry smile.“I am surprised that Duke would allow you to handle something as delicate as the safety of the he

“Thank goodness you are here, Marcus!” She exclaimed with a panicked tone, her wary eyes staring at the two guards standing behind Marcus.“Who did this to you?!” Her brother asked, but she was too flustered to even say a word, staring from one guard to the other.“They are with me, Aria. It’s okay.” Marcus assured the moment he sensed the fear that was buried deep inside his sister’s eyes. The moment the two guards tried to get closer to help Aria, she fidgeted, shaking her head in fear. “They will be back, Marcus! They looked so much like them!” She tried to point at the guards, but she could only do that with her facial gesture, moving from one guard to the other. Eventually, tears began to trickle down her face again, her lips quivered violently, yet she couldn’t even utter a word. Sensing the fear that gripped her, Marcus drew much closer, holding tightly onto her.“Don’t worry, we are going to get you out of here.” He assured, but the moment he looked at the chain again, he
