Chapter 580 Redemption



Day Sixty-Five...

~~*****~~

Axel was on his way to catch Joker. He wouldn't let him escape this time. He had some score to settle with him. How could he hurt Chantha? Axel was glad since Nathan finally made a move. He was the one who tracked Joker's current location.

Through the GPS signal, he could see that he was near Joker. They were heading to the east port. Joker chose to leave the country by sea. He anticipated that the security and surveillance airport was tighter than the seaport.

Joker was wearing a disguise. But little did he know, no matter what disguise he would use, Axel could still pinpoint him through the chip. Joker would use a ship that smuggled weapons as his transport going to Country J.

He arrived at the port, looking for the truck where he would hide himself. Joker was walking around, cautious about his surroundings. When he thought that no one was following him and there was no presence of Syphiruz Mafia, Joker heaved a sigh of relief.

Joker talked to his dealer and paid him cash. The dealer guided him to his truck. He let Joker in and locked the container truck. Joker had complicated emotions when he settled down inside. He won't be back for good.

Until now, he was still questioning his decision. Betraying the Syphiruz Mafia felt so wrong. Joker was lost in his own thoughts when suddenly the back door was pulled open. Joker was stunned the moment he saw Axel.

Before he could react, Axel pointed a gun at him, his eyes looking daggers at Joker. "Don't move, or else I shoot." He warned him.

Joker could only raise his hands. 'How did he find me?' He couldn't believe it. He thought his escape plan was guaranteed.

"Surrender now," Axel's cold voice echoed inside the truck. At that certain moment, Joker knew that he was doomed.

'Should I fight back? Or should I surrender?' Joker contemplated for a moment. He had a gun hiding from behind. He wondered how fast Axel was when pulling the trigger. Should he risk his life just to find out?

"Don't do something reckless. I won't spare you. You hurt our comrade and betrayed our leader. You deserve severe punishment."

"Is Chantha alright?" Joker asked him worriedly.

But Axel didn't buy it. His concern was no longer believable. Surprisingly, Joker decided to surrender. He willingly walked toward Axel as he dropped all his weapons.

When he jumped off the truck, Axel punched him right on his cheek.

Thud!

Not yet satisfied, Axel threw two more punches– one on his stomach and one on his right jaw. Joker groaned in pain but he didn't fight back. He could feel Axel's anger.

Nathan and Axel exchanged glances with one another. "So Marco is a member of the King Stallion Mafia."

Nathan's expression turned dark at the mention of King Stallion Mafia. Jane was looking for their leader.

"Do you know him? The leader of King Stallion?" Nathan asked him with so much intrigue. He felt the need to find the King since Jane was so desperate to see him.

Joker shook his head. "I only talked to him on the phone. But I haven't met him yet in person. Just like you, Supreme Leader, he is very mysterious. He won't show his real face in public."

Nathan and Axel fell silent. They didn't have much information about the King Stallion and its operation.

"Is Veronica related to King Stallion as well?" Nathan asked him.

"I don't think so, Supreme Leader. He just asked me to get Marco out. Marco is the one who requested me to bring Veronica with us. I have the address of his hideout where I brought Marco and Veronica."

"Supreme Leader, don't believe him. This might be a trap. He is a traitor!" Axel reminded Nathan.

Nathan glanced at Joker for a long moment, not saying a word. "Do you want to redeem yourself?"

Both Joker and Axel were surprised when they heard that. It was so unusual for Nathan to give a traitor a second chance. Axel wanted to object but Nathan motioned for him to leave.

"Supreme Leader! You must not listen to him. A traitor will always be a traitor."

Nathan smirked at Axel meaningfully and said, "I know. That's why I'm giving him this last chance to prove himself."

Both Axel and Joker were looking at him in confusion. "Axel, I know you hate Joker for hurting Chantha. I agree he deserves severe punishment. If you don't trust him, then trust me."

Axel could only sigh in defeat.

"I'll do anything for you, Supreme Leader. Please give me this second chance!" Joker butted in. He would grab this opportunity to right how wrong. Yes! He wanted to redeem himself. And he was glad because Nathan, the Supreme Leader, was giving him this rare chance.

"If you want to get more intel about the King Stallion Mafia, I can do that for you, Supreme Leader. He was asking me to join his organization but I refused. But I can take my words back. I will be your spy."

Nathan's lips curled up in a satisfied smile. This was what he was thinking– Using Joker to get more information about King Stallion Mafia and its leader.

"Good. Then I'll give you this mission. If you fail, you will pay with your life. The moment you think of betraying me again, I will kill not only you but the most important person in your life. You know that I'm capable of doing that." Nathan threatened him.

"Yes, Supreme Leader. I understand. I won't betray you again."
