Chapter 108: Tortured

It's been over thirty minutes since Adrian has been sitting outside, waiting for Charles to come out so that they can start heading back home. Meanwhile, in order to keep himself busy, he took his phone and started going through his social media handles while smoking his cigarettes. After smoking up the third stick of cigarettes, he checked the time on his phone, only to see that it was almost midnight.  'Damnit, what the hell have they been discussing since then? Adrian muttered inwardly before standing up from where he was sitting and walking inside. Once he got inside, he saw his father sitting alone, smoking his cigarette, while Charles and his men were absent. "Hey old man, where the hell is Charles?" Adrian asked the old man. "Hey young man, mind how you address words to me; don't forget that I'm still your father," the old man thundered angrily at him. "Ooh, so you have finally agreed that I'm your son?" I thought my father was dead a very long time ago," Adrian said to him with a sarcastic tone. "Adrian!!" The old man called out to him, choking on the cigarette at the same time, but instead of going to his help, Adrian stood where he was looking at him, as he was busy coughing. "Where is Charles?" Adrian asked him when he finished. "In the torture room," the old man said to him with a smirk. "What!!! What is he doing in the torture room?" Adrian asked him with an angry. "I'm teaching him never to forget about his mission again," the old man said to Adrian. "How dare you do that to him? Damn you," Adrian said to him. He was about to run in the direction of the torture room when the voice of the old man interrupted him. "Don't you dare move an inch, young man, unless you want to be next." The old man said to Adrian, and immediately he stopped and turned towards the old man, who was puffing the smoke of his cigarette in the air. "You won't dare torture your own son, would you?" Adrian asked him with a wicked smirk. "Don't dare me, young man; you are my son; that doesn't make you special. You go against me, and I will torture the hell out of you, and even though I don't want to torture you, I will simply ruin your relationship with Adrian by telling him that you were the one who informed me that he's falling in love with Sarah," the old man said to Adrian, but he remained silent while glaring angrily at him. "Come to think of it, I was even supposed to punish you because you failed in your mission, which is to support Charles in accomplishing his mission. If you had been with him, then he wouldn't have gotten himself into the huge mess he got himself into," the old man said, Adrian. "The same mess I still got him out of," Adrian said to the old man. "Yes, and that's the reason why I'm not punishing you," the old man said to Adrian, who shook his head in disbelief. "I can't believe that you are ready to go to the extent of torturing your own son just because of some damn properties you want to steal from Sarah," Adrian said to the old man, and immediately he banged his hand on the table angrily. "Mind your words, young man. I have told you this, and I will tell it to you again. Just because you are my son doesn't mean you are special, and for your information, I'm not trying to steal anything from your cousin; I'm only claiming back what rightfully belongs to me. If my brother had shared our father's properties among us who are his brothers instead of willing everything to his daughter, then we wouldn't be here today, so since he wasn't ready to share it when he was alive, I'm now going to take it by force now that he's dead. After all, what is Sarah doing with all her father's wealth if she is not wasting it on herself and Richard?" The old man sneered angrily. "And what are you going to do with all the wealth when you finally get them? Mind that you are already fifty and you might be dying anytime soon, so why don't you concentrate on your own wealth and forget that of Sarah?" Adrian asked the old man. "Never!!" The old man said this to Adrian before banging on the table angrily. "And for your information, I'm not dying anytime soon, and I'm not going to stop until I snatch all Sarah's properties away from her. If my brother had shared the properties among us, your mother wouldn't have died back then because we didn't have money to pay for her operation, and even though I die after getting all her properties, I will die a satisfied man, and the properties will be yours; so instead of questioning my every action, be a good boy and support me in reaching my goals," the old man said to Adrian. "How I wish Mom was around to see what you have become since she passed away. I'm going to get Charles, and you better warn your man to stay off my road, unless you want blood to rain down here," Adrian said to his father before walking away and heading to the torture room.  On getting to the torture room, he saw Charles tied to a chair while the men were busy electrocuting him. "That's enough," his voice sounded from behind, and immediately the men stopped and looked at him for some seconds, and without uttering a word to him, they continued with what they were doing. "Smirking sinisterly, he brought out a knife from the side pocket of his suit, and from where he was standing, he threw it at the man that was electrocuting Charles. Before the others could warn him about the knife, it had already sank into his neck from behind, and with that, the man collapsed on the floor with blood gushing out from his neck. "How dare you?" One of the men who seemed close to the dead man thundered angrily at Adrian before rushing towards him, but before he could reach him, Adrian caught him in the mid air, and without adding any effort, he snapped his neck, and immediately the man collapsed on the floor with his eyes wide open in horror. "Who's next?" Adrian asked them, and without uttering a word, they all ran out of the room. "Sighing heavily, Adrian walked to Charles and started untying him. "I hope you have learned a lesson from this; next time you might do well to listen to me," Adrian said to Charles while untying him. To be continued...
