Chapter 690: IT'S YOUR DADDY!
"Jayden Tordoff…" Erick said, calling his name in a scornful voice. "We haven't seen each other in a long time."
"I wish it stayed that way," Jayden retorted, for he had not at all expected to meet this man.
"Then how about we discuss this matter peacefully?" he suggested something very absurd.
"Hmm? Peacefully?" Jayden snickered when he heard those words. He tried to put his complete focus on Erick and of course it wasn't an easy feat, considering the fact that he was in a Harbor alone made Jayden feel tense.
Damn!
His trauma was really upsetting.
"Peace? Dude, you know that I like when things get suspenseful and mind-blowing, of course 'peace' was never in my dictionary." Jayden clicked his tongue. "You are so boring to actually suggest we discuss this peacefully."
On the other hand, Erick clenched his jaw tightly. He knew making an offer wouldn't make Jayden back off, especially when he had the upper hand like now.
"What do you want from me?" Erick asked in a voice that sounded very annoyed. His current position was simply unpleasant.
And again Jayden snickered, as he pulled Erick to a slightly quieter place so they wouldn't be easy to find, while he had removed the communication device he had stolen earlier and turned it off.
Jayden's mind was indeed going wild right now, because his emotions were all over the place, due to being in this place, therefore, he was a little distracted when he made the mistake.
On the other hand, Adrian was trying to read the situation around and guide their men to fall in the right places, because the ambush was already underway at this moment.
"Just say what you want from me?!" Erick growled in annoyance that he was in this position. He could already imagine the wrath of his father upon learning that he had failed this mission and he could also imagine what he would say.
It was his idea to prove himself that he was capable of becoming the successor of the Gevano family, not to mention after his failure to maintain his marriage to Alina.
Therefore, if this mission failed, not only would Erick get into trouble with his father, but it was well certain that his younger brother would take charge of the company instead.
However, things had already turned out like this and Erick wasn't sure that he would have any other way to make it right.
"Say what you want, Jayden and leave. Go back to your woman," Erick growled because he was really feeling so upset and desperate right now.
Damn!
Why did Jayden have to come to him at a time like this?! This was not within his expectation at all.
However, instead of answering his question, Jayden actually laughed when he heard this.
"Don't talk like you have more money than me. Your family can never beat the Tordoffs," Jayden said in a condescending voice. "You have nothing to offer me, so stop humiliating yourself by thinking that I will let you go or that you can offer me something to make me go."
"You really haven't changed since the old days, my brother-in-law," said Erick, he knew that these words would only irritate Jayden and his prediction was correct, because Jayden pressed harder against his temples, so that Erick could feel the cold gun digging into the skin on his forehead.
Only, he knew that Jayden wouldn't actually shoot him, because after all he wouldn't dare to do that. Besides, killing him now wouldn't be in Jayden's favour.
This was why a calculation was as important as a plan.
For now, the best option Erick had was to run away from Jayden, if he could get himself out of here, then the latter wouldn't have strong enough evidence to ensnare him with the law.
Because the people he had hired, of course, would be more than glad to refuse his involvement now.
"You're not going to kill me, Jayden, so put your gun down," Erick said in a voice that had audible traces of laughter.
Hearing that and seeing Erick's stupid smile filled with victory, as if he had done something extraordinary, made Jayden smile slyly at the man.
"Yeah, I guess you're right about me not being able to kill you," said Jayden coldly.
But, in the next second, he pushed Erick until his body was pressed into the cargo behind him, rendering him motionless, while he covered his mouth so he couldn't scream, while his other hand was still holding the gun to Erick's head.
Seeing this, Erick didn't understand what Jayden really wanted to do, but then he saw Jayden signaling Adrian to come closer.
"Cuff his hands and feet," Jayden said, to which Adrian immediately followed.
The bodyguard was prepared with two pairs of handcuffs, of which, one he used to lock Erick's hands to the cargo door, making sure he could neither move anywhere nor escape.
While the other pair of handcuffs ended up around his legs, so he couldn't kick or hurt Jayden.
More or less, Adrian had heard everything that Erick had said to Jayden and of course, he wouldn't have a good end in the hands of the Tordoff heir.
After that, Jayden sent Adrian to directly check on the ambush they were carrying out and gave his communication device to Adrian, for him to use and find out the location of Erick's other men who were still hiding.
"Now it's just the two of us," Jayden said with a smile on his face, as if he had gotten the present he had wanted for so long.
"Why? Are you happy to be alone with me?" Erick asked with a scornful smile. "Turns out the brother and sister are the same. In the past, Alina was also happy to be alone with me."
Erick wanted to make Jayden angry and waited for him to make a mistake.
But instead of getting angry, Jayden just chuckled when he heard this, although the look in his eyes was now much more dangerous than before.
"You're really funny, constantly talking about Alina, even though our current situation has absolutely nothing to do with Alina. Do you miss my sister so much?" Jayden asked, tilting his head, as if he was trying to find an answer to his own question. "You really miss my sister, don't you?"
Hearing the joke, of course Erick couldn't stay still.
This man really pissed him off and loved getting on his nerves. Erick's original intention was to tease and provoke Jayden, but seeing how calm he was talking and mocking Erick at the same time, made Erick the one who felt really annoyed with him now.
Jayden knew very well how to piss people off. After all, he had been doing it his whole life and Misha would always be his target, even though he now had Apple to practice his 'antics' on.
"Why don't you talk?" Jayden asked, smiling very sweetly when he saw Erick clenching his jaw so hard, showing the anger he had to endure.
Luckily, Jayden had a pretty calm father and he had learned from him well.
But, that didn't mean Jayden couldn't be cruel, because the next moment, he moved forward very quickly and again covered Erick's mouth, but this time, the gun in his hand was not aimed at the man's temple, because he knew that Jayden would not kill him.
But, of course, not being able to kill was completely different from the notion that he couldn't torture him.
Because that was exactly what Jayden did to Erick.
He actually pointed the gun at Erick's leg and shot one of his legs, causing the man to scream in pain, but Jayden clamped his mouth even harder, literally, banging Erick's head against the cargo so he could silence him and restrain his movements.
Meanwhile, Erick felt the pain in his leg was so agonizing as if it was going to kill him.
FUCK YOU JAYDEN!!!
Erick kept shouting those words, but of course he couldn't do anything when his legs and hands were bound like this, while Jayden pressed his head against the cargo, holding his mouth shut so he couldn't scream out loud.
Meanwhile, the corners of Jayden's lips lifted, revealing a satisfied smile when he saw the pain he had caused Erick, the man looked as if he would die from the pain.
"Why?" Jayden asked. He then stepped on Erick's foot which he had shot earlier and the man looked like he was about to pass out from the unbearable pain.
How could Jayden be so calm even after seeing his opponent like this? But then, this was the moment he had been waiting for years.
"Too bad it's you, I wish you were Theodore Gevano, so I could see the terrified look on his face." Jayden snickered when Erick gasped for breath. He was suffocated because he couldn't breath through his mouth. "You must be very happy that I always wanted to be near you. How about now? Are you happy? Should we spend more time together from now on?"
And just at that moment, the cell phone in Erick's pocket vibrated and Jayden took it.
"Oh, it's your daddy. Do you want to say hi to your dear old daddy?" He asked in his childish voice as if Erick was a five year old child.
If Apple had been here and heard the way Jayden spoke, she would have winced, because it sounded so cringey, or if Misha were here with him, his cousin would have hit him in the head because his voice was so annoying.
