Chapter Three
"Why the hell are you so afraid of him? Why are you apologizing to him as if he's an important person?" The butler raised his brows as he looked around with confusion obviously washed over his face. "Why do you feel the need to do that?" he asked, his eyes darting about for answers.There was silence as tension consumed the atmosphere, until one of the guards cleared his throat quietly and spoke."Butler Leo" the guard called. "This man isn't someone you would want to talk to in such manner, I'd watch my tone if I were you" he advised, hinting on the importance and authority of Tyler.The guard's advise doesn't seem to sit well with the butler, and instead of heeding the advise, he lashed out on the guard."Just shut up, you swine!" he chided the guard. "He is nothing but a liar. I don't know what you've heard about him, but trust me on this, he isn't who you people think he is. Whatever it was that you heard about him are nothing but lies. He is just some poor idiot who has let his pride cloud his sense of reality," Butler Leo says defiantly.Hearing butler Leo's words, Tyler couldn't contain his anger anymore, he clinched his fist angrily, then stormed closer to Butler Leo, and grabbed him by his collar before landing a punch on his face.The room fell into shocked and silence as the altercation unfolded."You said I am a liar?" Tyler growled lowly. "Isn't that what you just said? Do I look like a liar to you?" Although his voice was low, but frustration and anger were dripping off each words that proceeded out of his mouth."And do you think I am a common man? You will surely regret doing this to a member of the Wilson's family. I'm sure you're just a commoner who doesn't know who the Wilson's family is. Because if you know about the Wilson's family, you wouldn't be behaving like an arrogant bastard," Butler Leo spat back to Tyler, with a tone of superiority and arrogance, looking down on Tyler.Tyler narrowed his eyes and scoffed, then stared challengingly in butler Leo's eyes. "Tell me something I don't know," he said.Butler Leo was baffled by Tyler's confidence, he couldn't help but wonder where a pauper like himself (Tyler) would get so much arrogance and confidence from."I can forgive you on one condition: I'll forgive you if you lick your spit and apologize for what you did. Apologize for claiming what you aren't, and I'll set you free. If you don't do that, you're not going to leave here alive. You and the riffraff you brought here aren't going to leave here alive," the butler says menacingly.Tyler chuckled dryly before stepping back from him, and stood in a defending stance."Ouch! I'm a little scared," Tyler said, feigning the expression of a frightened child."Yes, you should be. I'm not someone you can toy with," Butler Leo replied in a 'matter of fact' tone.While he was being so full of himself, Tyler caught him off guard by landing another punch on his face and he staggered back - almost losing his balance. Butler Leo glared maliciously at Tyler, before proceeding to complete his speech."If you don't shut your mouth, I'll help you shut it. I'm not going to punch you now; I'm going to break all your ribs for talking back at me," Butler Leo gritted out, holding his stomach in pain and clenching his other hand tightly, pain clearly showing in his red eyes .Right at that moment, his phone rang loudly, and he quickly fetched it out from his pocket. Staring at the screen, he realized the call was from the young son of the Wilson's family.He quickly clicks on the answer button before taking the phone closer to his ear."Good morning, Master," he greeted promptly, his aggressive tone drastically changed to a more respectful and attentive tone.The young master's urgent voice filled the air from the other side, "Where are you? Why haven't you found the girl? I need you to find that girl right now and remove her cornea. I need a clean job, and I am sure I can trust you on this,"Butler Leo nods his head in acknowledgment, his expression reflecting his understanding of the seriousness."Yes, Master!" Butler Leo responds immediately, realizing that the young master cannot see him."Make sure you make a video of the girl's body. I want to see the recording of how they conduct the operation, and I want to see every single details" the young master commands with urgency."All right, Master, I'll do just that," Butler Leo said in a composed manner.Tyler bursts into laughter, unable to believe what he has just heard. He heard everything the young master had said because Butler Leo had purposely put the call on speaker phone."He wants you to record her body? He wants you to forcefully remove her cornea?" Tyler questions in disbelief."Leo, who the hell is that?" The young master yells from the other end - the call was still ongoing."Oh, don't worry about him, young master. He is just a nobody who wants to be a hero and he thinks he can start his heroic acts by rescuing the girl," Butler Leo briefly explained the situation to the young master."Alright, I thought it was someone of importance," the young master replied."I'm no one of importance, but here's a little advice for you, lad. You should start worrying about yourself now and start counting your time, because I swear on every evil thing in existence, your life and that of your family will soon be over," Tyler threatened menacingly.Meanwhile, Tyler's boys doesn't like how butler Leo has been talking and downgrading Tyler. They were impatiently waiting on Tyler's order, and when he wasn't giving any orders yet, one of them was forced to speak."General, he is being so disrespectful to you. Do you want us to teach him a lesson?" He asked but Tyler shook his head in refusal."You guys will start when I give the order!" Tyler said, and the young master burst into laughter from the other end when he heard those words."You must really think you're something?" he (the young master) said amidst laughter. "Order? I wish I could see your face. Do you even know who you're talking to on the phone?" The young master's voice held a tone of smug confidence. "I'm very sure you don't know. You'd be crawling on your knees right now if you knew who I am," he continued, his words dripping with arrogance."I warned you" butler Leo said smugly. "You think you can talk to the young master the same way you've been talking to me? It's obvious you don't value your life or the lives of the people you brought here,"Tyler chuckled, unfazed by the confrontation."You should prepare to go meet your ancestors, young master, or whatever name they've given you," Tyler said coldly.The young master laughed at Tyler's threat."What can a lowlife like you do to me? Huh?" the young master sighed. "You're a lowlife because I don't see any tangible reason you'd value that useless girl's life. The girl in question whom you're risking your life to rescue is just a lowlife bitch" he sighed again. "You know what they say, only a lowlife would know and value a lowlife "Tyler clenched his fist angrily, wishing the young master were present so he could choke him to death. Unfortunately, Tyler didn't know the young master's whereabouts."I would have loved and appreciate it if you were here in person, so I can show you the kind of lowlife person I am," Tyler said."You're a nobody, I'm sure you're one of those jobless, starving guys who have a crush on her. So I understand if you saw this as an opportunity to make money off of her" the young master said.His words got to Tyler and he (Tyler) couldn't hide it, he clenched his jaw as he grind on his teeth, with his tongue clicking his inner cheeks to keep him calm."Tell me if you need anything. Do you need money? Is this about the money you'll make off of her? You must be really starving, poor boy," the young master's spat.Tyler inhaled deeply, and exhaled slowly while staring hard at the butler."I have no more words to exchange with you. All I have to say to you is, her cornea is not available for your use, and I'll ensure that you and your family are unable to find any donor either. Mark my words" Tyler stated firmly."Come on, I know that whoever is willing to save that girl is lowly and poor. I won't waste my time arguing with someone of your caliber. Just wait and see how we will utilize her cornea. I'll return for you once we have finished with the girl. You'll beg on your knees until your knees are scarred," the young master's callous words echoed through the conversation. Tyler couldn't help but let out a smirk."This is indeed intriguing. I enjoy challenges as intriguing as this. Let's see who will be the one begging in the end."

I’m with you

He was resonating with their words, his intuition picking up on the undercurrents of tension and urgency that had flowed beneath their exchange.As he wondered if he could intervene, a spark of curiosity ignited within him.

You’re tense
"Yes, but you heard a step," Rayna said, her voice firm, her eyes locked onto Judas's."Yes, I heard a vo...," Judas replied, but he couldn't finish his statement as they heard a loud, exploded sound. The ground shook beneath their feet, and the air was filled with the acrid smell of smoke and burning metal.Rayna and Judas were shocked, their faces pale with fear.
