"Four girls. Four girls who you and Master Martin have vowed to protect for life are in Jared's hands. What a wonderful life!!" Shane sighed and this time, Noah could not sit still anymore. He got up and twisted the man's hand until his hand turned numb in pain and he let go of the gun.
"Bastard, let go of me." Shane howled as the pain registered in his mind.
Noah was so quick and agile that he could not even grasp when he had actually made the move. Even before he could comprehend it, he had already twisted his hand and the breaking of bones accompanied Shane's cries of pain.
"Let go of me." Shane barked unable to tolerate the pain anymore. "You bastard. You just wait what will happen to Rachel and your dear girl now. They are dead meat. I will make sure Jared destroys..."
Again, he did not get the opportunity to continue for Noah kicked him in the shin and pressed his leg on Shane's knee. Noah's eyes resembled the dark night, sinister and cold. Other than violent anger there was no other expression and for the first time, on this night, Shane was mortified.
Previously when he worked for Noah, all he had for him was respect. Even though his Boss was a terrifying man, never had he ill-treated or showed the other face which he had no idea about. Although he knew Noah's association with the Underworld, never had he witnessed this devilish face of his before.
It had always been Ronnie who accompanied Noah to deal with such dark matters while Shane had been allocated to handle the matters related to business. But that did not mean he had no idea what took place in the Underworld. Now that he had provoked this hidden beast, Shane was sure that if he did not come up with a plan by the end of the night, he would only be left with broken limbs.
"Don't you...you....ca..care about your sister?" Due to the immense pain, it become impossible for Shane to speak coherently and he stumbled over his words. Tears were leaking down his face and for the first time since he had known him, Ronnie found him to be such a wuss.
"Ronnie, ask whoever you have called to inform Joshua. He might be able to track Rachel's whereabouts."
"Boss, it was Master Martin I called. He is the one on the phone." Ronnie replied instantly and both the men stared at him in obvious surprise.
While Shane's gaze held shock and trepidation in them, Noah looked at him in appreciation. Ronnie had done exactly what he had wanted to do. If not for Shane's complete focus on him, Noah was sure he would have placed a call to the only man who could track his dear sister.
"Great, now I do not think we need this scum anymore. I was only keeping you alive in hopes that you would reveal where Rachel is."
Noah held the man by his collar and glowered at him, sending tremors down Shane's spine. He had never seen such an expression on his Boss before, not directed at him at least and he could not help but worry for his life.
"What did you say just now? You will send my Aria, the girl I love the most to Jared. How dare you even think about it? And how courageous of you to lay your hands on my sister?" Without even caring about how the men around him would view him to be, Noah twisted Shane's hands with such force that everyone heard the sound of bones breaking and they shivered in fright.
They were only fortunate that it was not them in Shane's place. Otherwise, just the consequences of betraying their Boss was enough to give them nightmares for years. It was not a hidden fact Noah hated traitors the most and he preferred people who faced him boldly rather than stabbing him from the back.
"Do you think I will not be able to save my sister? Your cheap tricks will not be able to stop me from doing what I want."
Noah had gone completely crazy in fury and desperation. While on one side his stubborn girl had gone to deal with Jared without even informing him about it, on the other hand, his sister was in his enemy's hands. Even though the situation was not in his favor, he knew that with Joshua and Ian's help, he would be able to handle things correctly.
"Ronnie, call Ian. I need his help this time. We cannot delay this matter anymore." Noah ordered, his eyes not moving away from the traitor. "Also, ask Ian to inform Daniel. Now is the time to find out if he really loves my sister or if all his feelings are shallow and superficial. I do not want such a man to be with Rachel if he is unwilling to come to her rescue."
Ronnie immediately got to work and fortunately for him, Ian was free. He discarded all other work as soon as he heard how precarious the situation was and rushed to join Joshua in this rescue operation.
"And you," Noah spat, not averting his gaze even for a moment. "Weren't you being all courageous a moment ago? Where did all your boldness go? What happened?"
"I...I..." Shane had no idea what to speak about in the situation he was in. Not only was he under Noah's mercy, he even did not know how and where he would end up at the end of the day. He already had two broken arms and a broken knee. He did not know what more would he be losing by the end of the night.
"Ahh, now the man's tongue refuses to work. You know I would have emptied all the bullets through your head for what you did to the people I love the most." Noah especially took a glance at Ronnie to emphasize his words and Ronnie was touched by this gesture of his.
His Boss was seeking revenge on his behalf and Ronnie did not know what to say in this situation. His heart was filled with warmth and gratitude for the man who had given him everything in life.
"But I will not do so. You will not get such a simple death."
Noah pushed to the man who was nearby. "Take him to the Base. I will deal with him personally. Nobody is to touch him. I want him alive and conscious by the time I return."
