Chapter 96 Play

I felt my anger turned to curiosity.

He looked up to face me once again "If not, he will kill my brother."

From then, curiosity for his brother crept on me that at first, I didn't care about. "Tell me about your brother and how did Marco get him," I ordered.

He smiled sadly "I was Eleven years old the last time I saw him... he was Nine, the saddest part was our parents separated us because of debt and my little brother was the payment. I worked for Marco because of my family's debt and then I discovered he was still alive, Marco told me that my brother is also working for him and the punishment of my mistake will be his life..." A tear fall from his eyes. "I don't want my little brother to pay my own mistake... That's why... kill me instead."

"Why don't you work for me... this time for real. I can help you find your brother." He shook his head which made my forehead furrowed.

He laughs but not the real one "This life is not for me Xenon. Maybe, in the next life, I can be with my brother." Then his face turned serious "Marco put a tracking device inside me and not long after they will be here. You can't take me anywhere... they will find you."

My body hardened, Denn was used his whole life... and he has no escape whatever he does, death already put him under leash.

"What do you want me to do?" I asked.

"Kill me... it's the only way. If you won't, he will think I went on your side and punish my brother instead. Marco will kill me either way. I haven't seen my brother... but I know... he is alive, I can feel it. If you would ever meet my brother tell him... I love him... I love him so much." He stated with tears falling from his eyes.

"I can't kill you. It's either you find a way or do it your way." I turned to see Lucas "Untie him."

He nodded and walked towards Denn, untying him.

"Xen, we need to go they are coming," Coby stated.

I nod and walked faster towards the door followed by the rest.

"If you won't kill me, I'll kill you instead. He will surely give me a prize." I heard Denn said grinning and I can feel him pulling the trigger. Where did this bastard get his gun!?

I quickly turned my body but before I fired my gun someone already did it for me.

*bang!*

I looked to see Martin holding a gun that was pointed at Denn who is now lying down with a caliber gun in his hand. Martin killed him on the spot.

"A traitor will always be a traitor." He murmured.

"Faster! I can hear cars coming on this way!" Adrian shouted from the door.

We run faster towards it while Martin is limping on his way, Coby went towards him for support.

We get inside the car and I drive it fast but we're not that far from the warehouse when we saw cars running towards it from the opposite side. So I hide the car not visible from that place.

We saw armed men coming out of their cars and the last man was Marco, encircled by a number of men. I felt my blood boiling out of anger.

"That fucking devil! He is really good at using people." Adrian murmured but his voice was hard.

"His existence brings people to no good. He should be, gone." Coby stated.

"He will surely get what he's looking for. Death." Martin followed.

"We need to go Xen, or they'll find us here," Lucas stated.

He is right. From here, I used the other way around not to be noticed by Marco's men.

"How did it go?" Claire asked the moment we came home.

Girls were gathered around waiting for us and I'm happy to see her just after opening the door of my house.

Sighing, I said, "I can't tell."

Denn died and before Marco came we already got away but I can't tell if it's good. We just killed a man who was also used by that devil.

She nodded in understanding. I breathed deeply, my nerves calmed by just having her beside me.

*****

We were in the living room gathered to fix the problem of losing our weapons but the door suddenly burst open. We immediately turned to look at it.

Venice Claire's POV

I was leaning on the wall here in the living room while watching the boys gathered to fix their problem when the door suddenly burst open, we turned to look at it and see Bryan panting.

"Xen! I heard what happened. I'm sorry, I didn't know." Bryan said apologetically while walking towards them.

"It's fine. Things already happened and we can't do anything to change it." Xenon stated in his total serious mode.

Things turn out good when they're away but something bad happened. What could it be? They won't tell us the truth.

"D-did you killed him?" Bryan stuttered asking.

Xenon looked in front, guilty of what happened.

I suddenly turned to look at Bryan the moment I sensed anger radiated from him. My eyebrow furrowed in confusion.

"We have no choice. We kill him or-" Martin tried to explain but he was cut off.

"Things already happened and we can't do anything to change it." Bryan mimicked Xenon's words. "So, what is your plan now?" He asked while taking a seat on the couch opposite to Xenon.

I have this sudden gut feeling, and my instincts never failed me.

"We need to ask for help, we can't handle this after losing many weapons," Lucas stated.

"And with the number of his people. We can't defeat him, we need more people Xen." Adrian added.

"Then, anyone we can ask for help?" Bryan asked.

They looked at each other while Xenon is looking straight to the wall, thinking in silence.

"I don't know anyone that we could ask for help especially when it comes to weapons," Coby stated leaning on the couch.

"I am an expert with weapons but I don't have friends of the same field like mine." Martin defended when he felt the others staring at him.

I know Xenon has someone in mind, but he wouldn't blurt it out. And so I did.

Standing straight, I intervened "I know who..." and they all turned to look at me with confusion filling them.

"Who?" Coby asked impatiently.

"The Blue Fire Gang," I answered.

Shock all over their faces and I sense Xenon stiffened.
