Chapter 29

In the noise of the Dj music, Theo sat on the sofa with two sexy women on his left and right. One of his arms was wrapped around one of the women and the other was holding a drink bottle. The buttons of his shirt were open, exposing his sexy chest and stomach muscles.

Theo's eyes scanned the clubgoers. He did all this not without reason, there was someone he was currently waiting for his presence.

"Hey baby, how about tonight you two come to my penthouse," Theo said with a laugh, just like a drunk. But no, he was just pretending.

He was pretending to be a customer and waiting for an opportunity when his eyes finally found what he was looking for. A man, the owner of this club, finally appeared after a long time of searching for Davian and his mafia gang.

"Aaahh it's him. Excuse me ladies, I have a little business to attend to. We'll continue this hot night another time." Theo quickly walked over to a man who was sitting on one of the chairs in front of the bar.

Theo sat down next to the man, then pressed the gun against the man's stomach. The man was surprised when he turned his head and found Theo beside him.

"You're finally out of the cage, Mr. Zayn." Theo smiled and grinned.

A man named Zayn, who was wearing an outfit of gray shorts and a blue shirt with lots of flowers. Yes... he was the owner of a famous club in this city.

"Aaah, Mr. Theo. It's a pleasure to meet you, sir. Did my servants serve you well?" asked Zayn nervously.

"Yes, of course they were very good. I enjoyed them. But you seem to forget that I'd rather enjoy the sighs of death than the sighs of a woman in bed," Theo replied, scaring the man even more.

"Six months you tried to escape, but Davian and I did nothing. You were quite calm, weren't you? Until you finally came out, huh. So how about we make it easy. Pay your debt or..."

Theo gave the signal to pull the trigger of his gun that was attached to Zayn's stomach. One pull and the man's guts would come out.

"Fine, I'll transfer it right now," the man said fearfully. He took out his cell phone in a hurry.

"Hurry up, I don't have much time, unless you're willing to play my game," Theo threatened.

With trembling hands, Zayn started to open the phone, typed something and sent a sum of money through his phone's m-banking. When he finished, he showed it to Theo.

"Already, I've done it. Please don't kill me, please let me go. Please..." the man begged.

Theo smiled and put the gun back in his coat pocket.

"Well that's better. Don't worry, I'll fix your reputation in front of Davian. Your club will be even more securely guarded," Theo said confidently.

Theo picked up his cell phone and checked the list of people he had to find.

"Aaahhh, already seven out of 13 people I have to find. Davian should give me a bonus!" muttered Theo, before suddenly his cell phone screen changed to an incoming call from Alvin.

"Hello!" said Theo as he received the call.

"Are you done with your date?" asked Alvin.

"I'm not...! uhhhh, I told you I'm not on a date! I'm looking for people involved in the embezzlement of money belonging to Davian's Mafia Company!" argued Theo irritably.

"Yeah, well whatever! Now you should go to Dave's house, I'm on my way. Let's meet there!" said Alvin.

"But what happened..." Theo hadn't gotten an answer yet, but Alvin had already disconnected the call first. That made Theo very upset.

"Aaarkkkkhhhh, this asshole! I'll make a calculation with him later.

Aleta was still engaged in conversation with Ethan in the room. Ethan put both hands on his chest, and started talking to Aleta again.

"So you approve?" Ethan asked.

"I don't, you know, I'm confused, Ethan!" replied Aleta nervously.

"But what do you think?" Aleta asked back.

"Me? If I were you. I'd take that chance," Ethan said confidently.

"What? You'd take it for granted?" Aleta's face turned astonished.

"When else can you get such a big favor. Do you think you can avenge your parents' deaths without anyone else's help? You're no match for Davian. But Gordon, Gordon is his equal," Ethan explained excitedly.

"Why are you even more excited than I am?"

"I just feel like you're wasting your chance, Aleta!" Ethan reached for Aleta's hand, stiffly grasping it again.

"Think carefully, it's not just about your parents' lives. There are so many innocent lives at the hands of Davian Ricardo, they'll be thankful that you helped them get their revenge. And... that includes me."

"You? What about you?" asked Aleta.

"Have you forgotten? He's the one who got me locked up here. You're my friend, aren't you? You want to avenge us Aleta? The revenge of your parents' deaths, the revenge of innocent people's deaths, and mine. Think, Aleta. This is your only chance!" Ethan was really poisoning Aleta's mind.

Aleta began to think hard again. It seemed Ethan was right too. She couldn't possibly get a chance as good as this. Revenge for all the suffering she had endured.

But... did Aleta really have to kill him. Wasn't there another way?

"But why does it feel too easy? If he just died right away, what good would it do? She won't know the suffering I've been through," I grumbled.

Ethan grinned at Aleta's words.

"So you don't want to make Davian die easily, huh?" guessed Ethan.

"Yes! He should regret it and feel the pain I went through!" said Aleta.

"Then tell Gordon that you approve. Tell him you want to work with him!" ordered Ethan.

"You... you're sure?" Aleta looked at Ethan.

"Yes, I'm sure. Di will help you. And tell her you don't want Davian to die so easily. She'll know what she has to do to make it happen," Ethan explained.

Aleta nodded her head quickly.

"But I also have a request," Ethan said.

"What is it, Ethan?" asked Aleta curiously.

"I... want you to tell Gordon to release me. Because, I can help you," said Ethan with a smirk.
