"So, you are connected to council but my granddaughter is not" Elder Valdez sighed in relief.
It will be a huge risk only if a person belongs to Valdez family… Scott scratched his head again. He just knew that Sophia Valdez is not in good terms with Braxton's. But he is not aware of Valdez's three generations history….
"Ahh...no grandfather. It is actually Jean who is in trouble….I am trying my best to protect her from this Johann. I was not in country A but country B" Scott explained.
Her grandfather's heart sank down into deep abyss. This is something he never expected to happen. This is the same reason he raised Jeff far from these. He didn't want his children or grandchildren connected to military or something related to it like.
But little he knew that his own daughter is the legendary founder of it…
"What is your rank in council" Elder Valdez asked all in sudden. Though he don't know much about this council he is aware of how it works….Scott is shocked once more.
To normal civilians this council and other stuff like it are just fantasy….But, it looks like his grandfather is not a simple civilian. He should be having deep connections to know about this.
"Well we both are council members." Scott replied. After listening this Elder Valdez clutched his heart. So his granddaughter is really into this council If Braxton's will find out that Jean is Sophia's daughter it will not be safe for Jean. His daughter really messed up with them that they really feared her…
"Scott, you have to explain everything to me after you come here. There is something very serious I wanted to talk with you and Jean." Elder Valdez said.
He wanted to ask more but his granddaughter just woke up and started rushing to washroom to puke again..…
As his wife went downstairs to prepare Jean's midnight juice and his grandson is fast asleep, he is only one who left to help his granddaughter.
Scott who is not aware of what is happening there just agreed and asked Elder Valdez for permission to monitor the cameras and security around the house.After that both of them ended the call and got engrossed in their respective works...
The next morning dawned in blink of the eye and Scott is already in Michaelson's corporations.
He is currently in his meeting but his mind is elsewhere. As like always his first thought is always his wife. She denied to answer his call again and all he got to know is that his pregnant wife didn't sleep well without him.
He already booked his flight at evening. As his team will continue their stay he decided to let his private jet stay in the country B itself.
But as soon as he return back, he is very determined to punish his stubborn and irrational wife for thinking ever about him like that.
And soon his long and boring meeting came to an end.
After he is done with the everything, Scott exited the room just to see his brother in law Raymond and his directors preparing for their next meeting.
As Raymond's second important branch is country B it is very common for him to come and go…..so he didn't find anything suspicious about it. But he is yet to know that Raymond is also a council leader….
However, Scott didn't let Raymond see him let alone talk with him. What if his darling wife find out that he is in country B.
She will surely kick him out of the room…..
He could stay without food but not without her..
Meanwhile…..When Scott is pretending to be in business trip just to distract the enemies in case they are following him, his team is busy in surrounding the team that escaped.
After four hours from his meeting, his team successfully captured the Johann's team that escaped. They are now prisoned in one of Council's safe house. They decided to keep them alive and lure other people of Johann.
At least some of them would be aware of Johann's real identity.
This team is nothing but a bait Scott is using, at least to the outsiders it is like that. But for Scott, this team is the only way for Johann to know about the relationship between Jean and Valdez's.....
The main leader of the team is chained to the chair and his body is full of bloody bruises and cuts. His forehead has a big and deep scar from his left eyebrow to top of right temple and the blood is oozing out from almost every inch of his body .
But the medical team has been continuously working on him. They are applying medicine and are bandaging it….Once the blood stopped bleeding out, he is once again tortured till he fainted.
But again he was brought back to hell by constant supply of blood from blood bag. So he would not die with blood loss.
This cycle continued till Scott felt content with his petty payback.
Just like how his wife suffered they were also tortured in same way.
A scar on the forehead(Jean's scar already faded but according to Scott it still exists till all the members who are responsible for this faces the same pain), The cut on the arm, The pain of loosing blood….
Everything just bounced back with twenty folds higher than how much his wife suffered….
"You are very lucky that nothing happened to my wife. Otherwise it would be have been the end of your miserable life." Scott laughed slightly but it was enough to send shivers down their spine..
"Wait till we take you back to country X" Scott roughly lifted that person's chin with a sharp knife which accidently' had cut through that person's skin.
He whimpered with pain as it slowly yet very effectively skimmed down his throat along the shoulder, leaving the light cut on its path.
It might be a light cut but it is a poisoned knife and made that person shriek with pain as a burned sensation invaded his body.
"It is so painful right. Aren't you feeling it is better to die rather than facing this pain. This is the same torture I suffered when my wife slept continuously for half month….every time I saw her like that I felt as if my soul is ripped off."
"Enjoy the pain. Until unless you reveal about Johann you have to face this torture every second of your life." Scott said as the knife trailed from his shoulder back to the ear.
He screamed in pain as he sensed his ear getting cut…
"I really don't know how my boss look. We just follow his orders" he shrieked as the warm blood from his ear reached the corner of his lips.
"Well, it is none of my business" Scott smirked as he continued playing with knife…
And it is only when a red alert started to ring across the safe house…..A signal of invasion…
