Wild Romance Series 3: Fornax Reeze Maddox

Chapter 19:

"AYAW niya talaga magsalita." Thorne expressed dismay while he continued to observe the assassin inflicting torment upon the man securely bound to a chair. "Their agents have received exceptional training," he remarked.

Nanatiling tahimik lamang si Fornax habang pinagmamasdan ang paghihirap ng lalaki. Pikit-mata na lamang niya tinatanggap ang bawat daing ng biktima.

The assassin, responsible for tormenting the restrained man in the chair, approached Fornax and Thorne. A sense of dismay was also evident in his gaze.

"He wouldn't utter a single word, Your Lordship," the assassin reported the situation. He had put forth his utmost effort, employing various methods to torment the man, but the man appeared resolute in keeping his silence.

Fornax shifted his gaze to Thorne, concern evident in his expression. "How can this man assist us in locating my son?" He questioned the effectiveness of the torture, as they had yet to uncover any leads from the man. "Are we certain he's the correct individual?"

Thorne disclosed the tied-up man's identity: "His name is Dale Ashford. He is affiliated with the National Secret Group of Agents for Security and Protection." Thorne continued, "He possesses exceptional hacking skills and the ability to locate individuals through various systems. It's believed that he may hold information about your son."

Fornax directed his gaze at Dale, a sense of familiarity tugging at the edges of his memory. He was convinced he had encountered Dale somewhere before, though he couldn't quite place where that might have been.

"Wala na ba talaga tayo magagawa para magsalita siya?" Fornax turned to Thorne, his urgency apparent. Every passing minute weighed heavily on him, as it felt like each moment spent torturing Dale was akin to losing another precious minute in the search for Cree.

"Matitigas talaga ang mga taong kagaya niyan." Thorne expressed admiration for Dale's unwavering loyalty to his organization, even when faced with potential harm. "Let's proceed with the transfer," he instructed the assassin who stood before them.

The assassin nodded in acknowledgment and promptly returned to Dale. With a quick injection to his shoulder, Dale's strength diminished further. The assassin then blindfolded him with a black cloth and proceeded to carry him away.

"Where are we transporting him?" Fornax inquired of Thorne. Naguguluhan at kinakabahan rin siya sa ginagawa ng pinsan niya. This was an entirely novel experience for him. He had never before witnessed another man enduring such suffering at their hands.

Thorne reassuringly tapped Fornax's shoulder, signifying that they had a plan and asking for his trust. "We're going to take him to the farm," he explained. "I know someone there who can extract the information we need."

Fornax simply nodded in acknowledgment, placing his trust in his cousin's approach. After all, every action they were taking was in pursuit of finding Cree.

After an hour of travel towards the Farm, they concealed Dale within an ordinary-looking house. The farm had an outward appearance of a typical agricultural setting, complete with chickens, pigs, and cows. It was a testament to the hidden secrets that the world held. Who would have imagined that this seemingly regular farm had connections to an underground organization?

"Welcome!" Another middle-aged man, adorned with a silver mask, greeted Fornax and Thorne. He appeared to be one of Thorne's trusted allies. "Pasensya na kayo dahil medyo magulo pa ang farm. Hindi ko kasi inaasahan ang pagbisita ninyo."

"Code A," Thorne whispered to the man who had welcomed them, signaling their hidden agenda. "Please, lead the way," he requested, indicating their readiness to proceed.
