Later that night, the men awakened to find their hands tied behind their backs. They seemed to be held captive in some sort of warehouse.
The two men suddenly realized, and subconsciously tried to struggle themselves free, but to no avail.
Then, a cool breezy voice came from the door.
“I see that you’re awake.”
Storm then appeared in the doorway.
He looked at the two men on the floor and slowly walked up to them.
Behind him, was a crowd of men in black attire.
Very quickly, the old warehouse was filled with men.
One of them put a chair in front of Storm, and dusted the dirt off the seat. “Please have a seat, Mr. Storm.”
Storm adjusted his clothes, and sat down.
The two men looked at the cool and intimidating demeanor of Storm and his subordinates, their bodies shaking with fear.
Mr. Storm? Who was he?
Mr. Maddox then spoke with his raspy voice, in a very impolite tone.
“Who are you fellas? What are you doing holding us hostage here? Don’t you know who we are?”
Storm listened to his yelling indifferently. He was too lazy to pick a fight with him, so he shot a look at his few subordinates.
His men understood his signal immediately, and rushed up to the two to give them a good beating.
The two men couldn’t fight back as their hands were tied up. They could only shrink into balls and endure their punches and kicks.
“Alright, stop.” Storm ordered after a while.
The men then stopped and returned to their original positions, just like standing guards.
“Tell me, what’s the main reason for you two following Alfonso all the way here? What kind of deal has Alfonso and the black market made?”
Mr. Maddox and Mr. Mason were beat up so bad that their faces bruised and swelled, their eyes full of stars.
They could only respond after a while. They were stunned by Storm’s question.
How was this man exactly?
And how did he know so much?
Little Tony spat out a mouthful of blood, and even a single tooth.
He acted very tough, unwilling to share any information. Instead, he gave Storm a warning.
“Who are you to dare ask about the black market! I’m telling you, if anything were to happen to us, you and your men better find a place to hide, ‘cause your heads will be chopped off! Don’t believe me? Then just wait and see!”
Storm raised an eyebrow, his eyes were a bit playful.
“I haven’t heard of such a ridiculous threat in a long time, right, boys? Then get ready to take more punches then. I’m not going to ask them to stop until you tell me.” He said with a breeze. His men then immediately rushed forward and beat them up again.
At first, the two men were tough, unwilling to open their mouths.
But gradually, they were too afraid of getting hit. They could tell that Storm and his men couldn’t care less about whether they lived or died, so they eventually gave in.
“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you! Stop hitting me, I beg of you!”
Storm glared at them with narrowed eyes.
“Tell me honestly, if there are any lies or untruths, I will cut off your limbs and feed them to the dogs!”
Mr. Maddox and Mr. Mason were bruised all over, there wasn’t a spot on their bodies which didn’t hurt. They didn’t dare to lie.
“Al- Alfonso borrowed a sum of money and used his own life and his parent’s lives as collateral. He asked for the black market’s help to seize the management rights of the ANXIN Group. He promised that after the completion of the matter, he would… He would surrender half of it to the black market…”
After listening to them, Storm finally understood why the black market would be willing to loan money to the trashbag that was Alfonso Garcia.
He wasn’t very capable, but he was courageous enough to plot such a big conspiracy scheme!
“Such big ambitions… Well too bad you guys aren’t lucky enough to share it.” Storm sneered.
He then got up, and ordered his subordinates to take the two men away.
…
The next morning, Jean and Neera got out of bed and took the triplets downstairs. They then spotted Storm in the living room.
Storm had always been in the dark within the past few days, he had never met Neera face to face until now.
“Oh, when did you get here?” Neera asked curiously.
Storm glanced at Jean, and answered honestly. “Good morning, Ms. Garcia. I have been here for the past few days, but I was busy with some stuff.”
“I see…” Neera then continued: “Are you here to report on some urgent matters? Do you want to join us for breakfast first?”
Storm was flattered, and shook his head. “It’s alright, Ms. Garcia. I actually have some things to tell you and Mr. Beauvort.”
“I can listen in too?” Neera was surprised.
Jean nodded his head. She had some guesses regarding what the matter was about. She let the triplets head to the dining area, and stayed in the living room with Jean.
Jean pulled her to sit down on the couch with him, and looked at Storm. “What is it?”
Storm answered immediately. “We found out the reason why Alfonso is here…”
