As those men in military surrounded him, the old man was appalled.
"You betrayed me!", he shouted at Arsenio. But his anger was overridden by fear of what rested ahead. And what rested ahead was his sure death.
"We were never accomplices to begin with", he coldly said as the men neared him and pointed their guns at him to make him raise his hands in air.
"I will ruin you!", the old man said desperately, "Let me go or else I would tell the whole world about the horrible things you've done!"
Arsenio laughed coldly. That man was simply a moron.
"You wouldn't live to that"
The old man eyes widened in horror. He was so scared that he pissed his pants. He was trembling wildly.
"Y-You wouldn't! T-There is military..."
"This is exactly what is going to happen", Andrian explained slowly, "Big Boss informed military about your whereabouts. You tried to run and military men had to shot you to stop you. Unfortunately they missed and you hit in your head and died. This is how the whole world would know how you died"
This was the power of that man-Arsenio Ishiko?
He even had his control deep in military? Just what kind of power the man had?
Arsenio had always kept a low profile so the world didn't know that he was the real man playing all the cards under the closed door. Carter family had a vague idea that he held unusual power but never in their wildest dream could they have guessed that he was that powerful!
At this point, Arsenio stood up and neared him.
"You can blame that on messing with certain someone whom you planned to torture to death with your own hands"
In the last moment, his face paled further. He recalled the whole incident. Was it that girl that his good-for-nothing grandson messed up with? That was all his fault! Yes! If his grandson hadn't messed with her, their whole family wouldn't fall into this predicament.
He would curse him to hell.
But the man didn't realize that his own turn to head for hell had arrived.
One of the solider raised his gun and shoot him in the head.
When Andrian and Adam faces turned to an ugly shade, Arsenio face didn't show any hint of mercy or pity for the man who squirmed on the floor and died.
Ruthlessness.
It was what that was required to live in this world and move on. If one should mercy and weakness, he would only become a stepping stone for others. That was the motto that had kept Arsenio alive and successful so far.
****************************************************************
Christin checked his laptop. The information his program sent was perfectly normal. No more, there was anything like a big map with a red circle at a point.
He had speculated that Angelize might have tempered with his program but then dismissed the idea considering he had hidden it well. Christin admitted that Angeline was good with fighting but with computer and programs, he still held him in higher regards compared to her.
So he didn't believe she could have fooled him.
But now he had kind of lost his motivation to further investigate her. He felt it was wrong to look into her past when she didn't allow it. He himself didn't know why was he feeling that way. Considering his prior experiments, he was always shameless when it came to investigate his suspect.
Maybe because he was now worried about her due to Zayden threat.
Or maybe he was kind of considering her as a friend in his heart.
As Christin was in deep conflict, he heard Noah cursing.
"Holy sh*t!"
Christin looked back from the seat in front of computer to his cousin who was sitting on his bed holding a laptop and having a very amazed rather delighted look on his face.
"What happened?", Christin couldn't help asking.
"I think you should see this"
Christin walked to the bed and grabbed his laptop to have a look.
Carter family. Carter family. The whole net was full of them. Even the international media was covering them!
There were only these headlines.
Carter family went down.
The whole Carter family was executed.
The Elder Carter was found shot dead by militia when he tried to avoid being arrested.
The eldest son Zayden Carter was found severely injured. So he avoided arrest.
"Is this real?", Christin asked dumbfounded. His voice sounded a little scared.
Christin hated Zayden. He despised his family for having anything to do with mafia groups. But he was never that cruel to think of such a horrible end for someone-even if it was his own enemy. Christin was a kind soul. At least a kind one when we put Angelize in comparison.
But that was not the case for Noah.
"Yes!", Noah exclaimed.
"Why you sound happy?"
"No, I don't!", Noah denied with a wide smile.
"Yeah, sure you don't", he said slowly and withdrew his gaze from his stupid cousin and browsed the web.
Eric Davidson-the name popped up in front lines.
After reading his history, Christin learnt about his past enmity against Carter family and now it made sense to him. But he alone couldn't accomplish that. He must have been supported by someone. As Christin looked further, he found that there was no report on the support behind him.
Christin had always kept a close eye on the people in upper circle.
He was aware of the name Arsenio Ishiko. He even had an idea of his importance in underground world. That was the result of his prying and curious nature. So when he found about that Carter elder was shot in his building, he couldn't help but feel suspicious of that mysterious man.
