They Took My Daughter. I Brought a War.

Chapter 010

After hanging up the phone with Nicolas, Junior pulled out his own phone and dialed Iris.

"Commander!" Iris answered after just one ring.

"Bring some people to clean up the club," Junior said sternly. "Also, meet me at the Maldonado Manor in three hours."

"Uh?" Iris was momentarily stunned but quickly replied, "Understood!"

After hanging up, Junior turned and headed for the door, with Timothy following behind, carrying the unconscious Omar.

Meanwhile, outside the most upscale private hospital in Qiekery, a Mercedes-Benz was parked not far from the entrance.

Inside the car were Nicolas, the Maldonado family's butler, two strong bodyguards and Laurel, who was lying unconscious in the back seat. Nicolas had just finished his call and sat in his seat, his face dark and menacing, his eyes like blades, and a murderous aura radiating from him.

It had been almost thirty years since he had been this angry. In Keklia Town, someone dared to challenge him, Nicolas! It was outrageous. He had already decided on the brutal punishment for Junior in his mind. He would ensure that Junior suffered unimaginable pain before dying, just to quench his fury!

"Sir, should we go upstairs or...?" After a while, the butler cautiously asked. He had already gleaned the gist from that call and was equally shocked.

"Head back to Keklia Town," Nicolas took a deep breath.

"Understood!" The driver responded and turned the car around, hitting the gas pedal.

"Find out who these people are immediately!" Nicolas instructed the butler.

"Sir, I have already started the investigation," the butler replied respectfully.

Ring! Ring! A moment later, the butler's phone rang.

"What is it?" he asked upon answering.

Something the person on the other end said made the butler's expression change several times.

"I understand," he said after two minutes, then looked at Nicolas. "Sir, this is complicated. It seems the other side is not to be underestimated."

"What do you mean?" Nicolas frowned deeply.

"I just got word that Clark was killed!" The butler paused, then continued, "Not just him, but his four top lieutenants and over a hundred of his men were all killed!"

"Hmm?" Nicolas's pupils contracted slightly.

He knew Clark well. Clark was personally strong, and his men were also not to be trifled with. Especially his four right hand men, each more ruthless than the last. They were significant figures in Keklia Town's underworld. And, Clark had access to some formidable weaponry.

In Keklia Town, besides his family, he couldn't think of anyone else with the guts and strength to take down Clark!

"Are you saying Clark was killed by the person who called earlier?" After a moment of thought, Nicolas took a deep breath and asked again.

"Yes," the butler nodded gravely. "He confronted Clark to find out the little girl's whereabouts."

"Did you find out how many people they had?" Nicolas demanded.

"Two, but only one of them fought," the butler replied, swallowing hard.

When he first heard this over the phone, he almost bit his tongue in disbelief. If it hadn't come from a trusted source, he would have dismissed it as nonsense. 'One person took down over a hundred of Clark's men? Who would believe that? But my source wouldn't joke about this. The Maldonado family has stirred up serious trouble this time!'

"What!?" Nicolas's pupils contracted sharply, "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely!" the butler confirmed with a serious nod.

Nicolas exhaled heavily. "Call Patel and tell him to bring everyone back from Eastoria to Keklia Town, and make sure they come armed. Also, get Master Robert to gather all our men in Keklia Town and bring them to the Maldonado Manor!"

"Got it!" the butler nodded.

"And you personally call the top three families in Keklia Town. Tell them the Maldonado family needs their help, and each should bring a hundred elite fighters to our villa immediately," Nicolas continued.

"Understood!" The butler picked up his phone and started making calls.

Nicolas then took out a cigar, lit it, and took a deep drag. After a moment's thought, he dialed his daughter's number.

"Dad, you're in Qiekery now, right? What's up?" came the voice of Celeste, the eldest daughter of the Maldonado family.

"Omar's in trouble," Nicolas said in a grave tone. After finishing the call with Celeste, he remained silent for a long time before making another call.

It was time to call in an old favor from the Nelson family in Eastoria. With their help, even if the opponent was formidable, he would be prepared.

Meanwhile, Junior and Timothy took Omar to a secluded hotel. The place was nearly empty, with no one in the lobby.

Timothy pulled out a thick stack of cash and handed it to the owner, securing the place for three hours.

Afterwards, Timothy threw Omar to the ground and slapped him awake.

Coughing up blood, Omar looked at Junior and Timothy with pure terror in his eyes. "Who...who are you guys?"

"You Maldonado family think you can do whatever you want in Keklia Town, right?" Junior asked calmly as he sat down. "You treat other children's lives like they're worthless just to get a heart transplant. This isn't the first time you've done something like this, is it?"

Junior's main concern was Laurel's safety. He didn't care how many people the Maldonado family sent after him. As the King of Westcrest, a small family like the Maldonados was nothing. If pushed, he could obliterate them at once.

"Who...who are you to her?" Omar asked, blood still trickling from his mouth.

"She's my daughter," Junior replied evenly.

"What!?" Omar exclaimed, "Impossible! We checked. She's just a bastard. Her mother doesn't even know who her father is..."

Before he could finish, Timothy kicked him hard, sending him crashing into the wall.

Blood sprayed as several of his ribs broke.

"If you don't watch your mouth, you won't last the next three hours," Timothy warned.

"You...you dare treat me like this? The Maldonado family will never let you get away with it..." Omar cried out, struggling to respond.

"Oh really? "Junior lit a cigarette and took a drag, "Do you really think the Maldonado family will exist in Keklia Town after today?"
