Chapter 323: Dante abducted.

Max walked towards Ace fallen figure and smirked. He then looked around and saw his comrades marching inside the room after handling the guards outside.

"Everything clear?" he asked one of the men and watched him bob his head.

After tracking the Jaguar base, Ace and his team sneaked into the property secretly and reached the main office where they found Dante. They had their movements cautious but somehow Ace found their trap.

"Let’s get out of here" he instructed and they quickly left taking Dante along.

Meanwhile Ace regained consciousness. Though he was injured and bleeding, he pushed himself up and looked around only to find Dante being taken by them.

Pulling out his phone, he made a call to someone and dragged his frame out of the office before wrapping his bleeding hand with a handkerchief.

[Sticker Secret hideout]

Alphonse’s eyes darkened at the sight of Dante’s unconscious figure being tied to the wooden chair. His men finally got his target and now he wanted to torture him until he begs him to end his life.

Gabriel who stood next to his father eyed the old man for a few seconds and then looked away.

"I don’t think my presence is needed here anymore," he said and was about to leave when Alphonse stopped.

"Don’t you want to witness how I kill my enemy" Gabriel stopped and watched his father with an unexplainable emotion.

’Was he ready to see all this’ he thought to himself.

Alphonse smirked when he didn’t see Gabriel retreat and he continued. "If you have to keep yourself safe, you have to let go of humanity. There is no place for kindness in this field"

Stretching his hand towards Max, he took the small knife from him and walked towards Dante with the help of the stick.

"You have to be cruel enough to watch your prey scream in pain. You know soothing that crying can be" smiling like a maniac he then brought the tip of the knife close to Dante’s face and slowly started to trace it.

Gabriel who watched his father play with the unconscious man felt uneasy but before he could move his eyes away, Alphonse pierced his cheeks with that pointed thing and started laughing like a madman.

"Ah..." Dante hissed in pain but was unable to move because of his helpless state.

Blood started streaming down his cheeks and the sight of redness made Gabriel feel a wave of nausea pass through his body.

Without holding back he turned and dashed out of the room as he couldn’t watch his father torture a man who wasn’t even in the right state.

Reaching his room Gabriel barged into the washroom and puked everything out. He wasn’t used to this thing and now he regretted helping his father. He was blinded by his hate that he didn’t realize what he was trying to get into.

He wasn’t a heartless man like his father and now he felt bad for that old man who he planned to give to his father.

Sliding down the wall next to the sink, Gabriel kneeled and pulled his hair in frustration. He wasn’t able to distinguish between right and wrong. His mind told him to avenge them but his heart stopped him from doing so.

He just wanted to escape but he couldn’t because now his father needed him. He tried to brush off those emotions and follow his father’s words but he couldn’t.

His thoughts were in chaos and he just wanted to stay alone. "Why does it have to be like this" he muttered helplessly as he recalled his happy moments with his friends.

"They all fooled me" Gabriel was so tired that he kept blaming everyone for his situation. He thought he had genuine friends whom he could trust and rely on, but they all approached him with ulterior motives.

Rubbing his face, he pushed himself up and rushed out of his room. He wanted to clear his mind and for that, he had to get out of this place.

Without informing anyone Gabriel left the base, aware of the cops still looking for them, but he didn’t care.

Getting inside the car, he drove away from there. He kept on driving without any destination and right after an hour of speeding, he finally stopped his vehicle.

Holding the steering wheel firmly he looked out of the window and started at Sandra’s house. He remembered stalking her like a secret lover. Her face would calm his anxiousness within a second.

He waited there for so long but didn’t see anyone coming or entering the house and that kind of felt strange to him. He looked at the wristwatch in his hand and frowned.

"Sandra is supposed to bring Tori from school" he mumbled as he looked at the road but found no one and his frown deepened.

Gabriel waited for another ten minutes hoping she must be late but even after the time passed he didn’t see any of them and that was when he decided to check them.

He knew it would be an awkward situation for both of them but he wanted to see Sandra for the last time. He had this feeling that after today, there won’t be a day when he would be able to see her.

Unclutching his seatbelt, Gabriel was about to step out of the car when the door of the house opened and an unknown lady stepped out to dump the garbage in her hand.

"Who is she?" he asked himself and immediately stopped from hopping out of the car.

He wasn’t aware of the fact that Sandra was in prison for killing one of her classmates whereas her family was thrown out of the house by their landlord.

Unable to hold back his curiosity, Gabriel stepped out of the car but now before covering his half face, and rushed to the other side of the road.

Before the woman could get into the house, he stopped her. There was confusion marred on her face watching his covered face but Gabriel chose to ignore it and started asking her about Sandra and her family.

He remembered, they still lived with her when he had last picked her up for her birthday party. The thought itself was depressing but he pushed back his hurt and waited for the woman to speak.

She looked a little skeptical as there had been many people who came looking for the family and she thought the man is also one of them.

Gabriel was shocked when he found Sandra had killed Alexa due to some personal grudge but she had no clue where her sister and mother go.

She even informed him that he wasn’t the only one who came looking for them. There had been few before him too.

Gabriel was still in denial when his eyes caught the sight of a few cops at the corner of the street. Without wasting any second he turned and walked back to his car before driving away from that neighborhood.

After Dante got abducted Ace informed Tristan and he immediately rushed to the base along with Karl and Noah.

Tristan’s eyes watched the surveillance footage and he was surprised at how skillfully Alphonse’s men entered the base and took his grandfather away.

They used some kind of smoke to faint the guards before they executed their plan.

"They had pre-planned everything," Noah said as he watched them easily assassinate their plan.

"What about that spy? Did he open his mouth to speak the truth" Karl asked.

Ace shook his head in disappointment." Before I could interrogate him once again, someone had already killed him" his voice sounded helpless but he still stood strong shoving back his fear.

Ace by now was treated for the wound he received from the gunshot. Ignoring his pain, he was now back with the boys to find his boss. He devoted his life to Dante because the man had helped him out of a mess he thought he wouldn’t be able to get rid of.

Their attention then turned to Tristan who haven’t uttered a word until now, but they very well knew his silence was just a mask to hide the thoughts he had been running in his mind.

For them, Tristan was like a mystery. He appeared like a calm and compose boy but when provoked, he would change into a different person whom no one will be able to understand.

Taping his finger on the surface of the table in front of him Tristan was already scheming on how he would get his grandfather back to them but for that, he had to get a hint.

Buzz...

His fingers stopped moving and his eyes turned to the phone next to his hand. Without any second thought, he answered the call and the moment he heard the person on the other end speak, his lips curled up into a smile.

"Just wait there for me" his voice was void of any emotion and the smile gave everyone around a creepy feeling which lead to confusing them on what was exactly happening.
