Devil's vow novel Chapter 5

Waylon Palace

Brazil

"MOVE DOWNNN! " his voice boomed just seconds before the blast was heard.

The guards surrounded him after the golden falcon erected on the mansion's top was blasted. Smoke, fire and uncertainty surrounded the atmosphere.

Surprisingly even though the marble of roof turned into cribbles the falcon didn't fell but instead caught fire. High flames surrounded it, a new emblem created - a phoenix, the bird of flames. The insignia of resurrection.

He motioned the guards aside at once, who parted like sea to give him way. He was taking in the view of once spotless, magnanimous mansion's walls turning dark with ash.

Such a pity, he wasn't scared with this child's play they called 'threatning'.

His eyes held a glint of amusement, indicating it was not a great surprise for him, but they soon turned steely cold when he turned towards his force of men.

"Halt! CEASE!" the army stiffened, alarmed.

"Lucas you will accompany me to Russia I my flight." his voice called and soon a short bald man in black with various guns securing his waist stepped forward. He seemed tense, his form shivering.

"Yes sir" with that he followed him to the jet stepping aside for his boss to step in.

"You are the pilot for the day Lucas, step inside or do you thought you will sit like a king beside me and enjoy wine?" Ajax drawled, his voice seemed extremely calm which forced every guard to secure their post. He was a hunter and right now it seems like he was hunting.

A drop of water fell on Lucas's arm- sweat. He didn't knew what was better, to sit in the helicopter and blast himself from the same explosive he had planned for Ajax or to accept that he was a traitor and face him, the first option seemed more merciful and less painful if he was to be honest.

But either way he was going to be doomed .Ajax will drag him down half bloodied, half dead and then start interrogation. Either way....It was not going to end well for him.

"Sir" he wailed coming on his kness.

"I am loyal to you my Lord, I was threatened-" Ajax pulled him to stand harshly with his collar.

"You were bribed, you think you will escape my clutches with your petty scheme" he roared.

Before Lucas could react ,he was slammed harshly against the jet with hands locked around his throat.

"B-Boss I-I can explain, j-just give a chance."

"Don't worry we have all the time in the world." the voice drawled smoothly like they were talking about the weather. With that he was blindfolded roughly and dragged along the way by two bulky guards.

                  --------------------------

Lucas could not fully comprehend the situation, his hands were tied above his head and as someone harshly removed his blindfold he was blinded by the direct light for the time being.

He fluttered his eyes shut reopening them to observe his surrounding .

Holy shit! he was tied to the fancy mast of a large luxurious ship and the sun was at it's peak.

"Tell me Lucas are you a good dog?" Ajax played with a dagger twisting it between his fingers, his eyes cast down focusing on the beautiful pattern on the weapon.

The man nodded his head furiously but couldn't find a voice to speak.

"You have five seconds to speak truth.Who planted you in my army? "
