Marshall got downstairs and said to Frances, “I am not sure how late I will return tonight. So remember to lock all the doors and windows.”
Frances nodded, “Okay.”
Marshall then left with Kyle.
Both of them headed to the club owed by Kyle, while in the backyard of which there was a basement at the corner. The entrance was hard to be noticed as there placed a flower stand and piled up some flowerpots.
The backyard was dim as there wasn’t the main entrance for guests.
Nor did Kyle set a light here as it was where the basement planted. So commonly speaking, the backyard was the secret spot for something nasty.
The entrance was covered with a wooden slat, on the top of which there was a huge flowerpot. Now the flowerpot was moved aside and so was the slat. The entrance looked like a well, while on the side of which there was a rope ladder. Inside the entrance, nothing could be seen except for darkness.
Marshall showed no hesitation. He took the initiative to enter with Kyle following then.
They soon landed after descending for two meters. Marshall turned on the flashlight of his phone.
It was a spacious basement. As he moved the flashlight a bit, he saw that creep-shot guy, whose arms were tied behind. He could do nothing but to lie still on the ground.
Kyle walked over and turned on the only bulb in the basement.
But the dim light even highlighted the horrible atmosphere around.
Marshall looked around the basement and found it empty.
He walked over to lift that guy up and pinned him against the wall.
Perhaps that guy was sleeping or unconscious. He slowly opened his eyes because of the sudden move.
He squinted at as he felt the light dazzled him with his eyes closed for long.
Kyle was rendered sullen when seeing his slovenly look. He walked over to kick him, “Open your goddamn eyes! You still fancy sleeping right now?”
His kicked exactly hit his chest. That guy couldn’t help whining.
Marshall waved his hand to stop Kyle. He then patted on his shoulder, “Be a bit more gentle unless you want to kill him.”
Kyle also noticed himself that he never learned to control his rough strength. So he stepped back after consideration.
Marshall approached and squatted down. He found that this guy looked pale and awful.
Marshall asked, “Why were you tailing Katherine?”
That guy sneered, “Because she looks pretty. And I love pretty girls.”
Hearing that, Kyle kicked him hard again. But this time he went for his face.
Marshall didn’t stop him.
Then that guy’s nose started to bleed.
He turned his face aside and failed to wipe off the bleed as both his arms were tied.
Marshall looked a bit sullen, “Tell me the truth if you want to suffer less. Otherwise, I don’t think you can get out of the basement in one piece.”
But that guy still remained unspoken, looking seemingly tough.
Marshall smiled, “I have encountered a lot of tough looking guys just like you. All of them perceived that they could go through every single torture just by gritting and tolerating. How hilarious!”
Marshall then stood up and continued, “I have countless means to make you suffer and extract what I want from you. But now I would like to save my time and offer you the last chance.”
After pondering for a while, that guy turned to look at Marshall, “It was just because I liked pretty girls. So I couldn’t wait to snap some pictures of her pretty face. If you want, I can delete them all.”
Marshall sighed, “Well, since you still insist…”
He turned around to look at Kyle, who seemed to be about to beat that guy again out of irritation.
Marshall smiled, “Just hold on. I need you to get something for me. So let me handle it. I promise the worst moment in his life is coming.”
Kyle gritted and pointed at that guy, “Just wait and see.”
Marshall listed a lot of stuffs for Kyle to prepare. He was also confused, not knowing what for. But he still made his men to get prepared.
At the same time, they got out of the basement.
Marshall took out a cigarette and passed Kyle another one.
While they were smoking, those waiters started to prepare everything required by Marshall.
But they could only get most on the list as the night fell.
