Chapter 305 – WRATH (3)
Ramon didn't even blink his eyes at all as he thrust the hot iron into Leon's thigh. No. He enjoyed every roar of pain this man let out, as if they could lessen the almost murderous rage inside him at the thought of losing Hailee.
Based on the report he had received from Pyro, it seemed that there was a rat within the bodyguard group tasked with guarding Hailee.
This was also a mistake that made Pyro feel ashamed of himself, because he had personally chosen the core bodyguard members who would protect Hailee.
But, in fact, that was precisely what happened.
This time, Pyro really couldn't lift his head to look at Ramon because of the fatal failure he had been.
As it turned out, the bodyguards who informed that Hailee had been kidnapped and pretended to pursue the people who attacked them were also on Leon's side and Mrs. Tordoff was right in their car.
Because Pyro was so panicked to hear that those people had managed to break into the Tordoff residence and take Hailee away, especially since that man was someone Pyro trusted, he didn't suspect him at all.
Another stupid mistake on Pyro's part…
"Tell me where my wife is," Ramon growled dangerously. "Or…"
Before Ramon could deliver his threat, Leon had cut him off and laughed happily. "Or what?" he challenged. "You want to kill me?" he said in a mocking tone that earned him another stab in his leg from the hot iron Ramon was holding. "Just kill me and your sweet wife will die!" roared Leon.
Ramon then threw the iron away and threw a punch at Leon's face, so hard that Leon fell from the chair that was holding him and as soon as he vomited the blood that had gathered in his mouth due to his chapped lips, he could feel one of his teeth fall out.
"FUCK!" cursed Leon. He sucked in even more force when Ramon kicked him in the stomach, causing him to bounce a few meters and the chair bound to him hit the wall and shattered, causing the bonds on his body to loosen and he was free.
However, with his body covered in wounds and Ramon's bodyguards guarding every way out possible, his chances of escaping from this basement were zero.
There was no way he would be able to fight them all when he himself couldn't stand up properly.
"Where's my wife?" Ramon asked again, his tone still the same, as if he didn't hear what Leon said earlier.
"If I die, then your wife will die too!" Leon exclaimed, between gasping for air. "She's going to die as well as your baby-to-be!"
This time Ramon grabbed the gun held by one of his bodyguards and fired a hot bullet at Leon's leg. At this rate, even if Leon could survive Ramon's wrath, there was a chance that he would end up crippled.
"Where's my wife?" Ramon repeated his previous question, like a cassette tape playing the same song over and over again.
Realizing that threats wouldn't work on Ramon, Leon changed tactics in his negotiation this time.
"I… I'll tell you on one condition," Leon said breathlessly.
Ramon then lowered his gun and glared at Leon, as if he was saying; state your terms.
Knowing the gesture, Leon then continued his sentence. "I'll tell you if you…" Leon coughed some more blood. It was long enough that all that could be heard from the empty basement was the echo of his choking voice. "…I'll tell you if you… kill yourself."
After saying that, Leon laughed really hard, as if he had just said the funniest joke he had ever said before. This was very pleasing to Leon, knowing that what he had done had left Ramon even more fuming.
He was ready to get another kick, punch, stab or even a bullet.
However, what Ramon ordered next was quite unexpected. "Call Doctor Bram and ask him to treat him."
"Eh?" The bodyguard who was closest to Ramon was taken aback. He had to make sure he didn't hear wrong. "Sorry?"
"Don't let him die," said Ramon and then turned around. He was only wasting his time here torturing Leon when the man had no hope of living anymore. Someone who no longer wants to live, is too difficult to negotiate with.
But, maybe Ramon could use something else to get him to talk…
"Oh, okay…" the bodyguard looked confused at such an order, but if David was around, he would have immediately understood what Ramon meant.
Ramon wouldn't let Leon die so quickly, because that would be too good an ending for someone like him.
"If you knew what's happening to your wife right now, you would definitely feel the pleasure I feel now!" Leon exclaimed, calling Ramon back. "Come here, I'll tell you what happened to your wife now!"
================
Aileen was taken to the second floor of the house and asked to enter a large room. Judging from the furniture there and how luxurious and grand the house was, it seemed like this was the master bedroom.
Seeing this, Aileen felt a little relieved, because she thought that she would be put in a cellar or some other terrible place.
At least this way, Aileen could conclude that Leon wouldn't be that bad at treating her.
However, in that room, Aileen met someone she didn't expect at all.
The woman stood in the middle of the room and seemed to be observing her surroundings carefully, as if she didn't even understand why she was in this room.
Aileen had met this woman just a few hours ago, so seeing her again in an unexpected place like this was truly surprising.
"Giana?" called Aileen hesitantly. She still couldn't believe what she saw, because right now the person in the question was standing with her back to the door.
It was only after the woman was slightly surprised and instinctively turned around that Aileen could see that her guess was correct. It's indeed Gianna.
"What are you doing here?" Aileen asked, her forehead furrowed and her confused expression well reflected in Giana's eyes.
"What are you doing here?" asked Giana. "Why are you here?"
The two of them didn't really have any idea about the situation they were currently facing.
Especially when they heard the sound of a door opening and a man pushing a woman into this room. A woman they both knew very well.
Hailee…
