Chapter 202 - Confidence

Immediately Shane returned from his meeting with Hannah, and was heading home; his car got crossed by a black SUV which belonged to the government people who are looking for him.

Shane remained calm as 10 agents stepped out of the vehicle with their vest on.

He wondered if he's supposed to be scared by them or what. Actually, he's glad they came. They should take him to where they kept his wife.

The agents thought he's gonna use violence, but had no idea he's short on men, and couldn't dare risk the lives of the ones he has now.

He also stepped down, feigning ignorance. He acted like he had no idea why they stopped him.

Without wasting time with him, they informed him that he was suspected for attempt murder on Alex.

He narrowed his eyes and smiled in return, while his boys remained in the car on his order. He didn't place any importance on these people before him.

The word government doesn't give him a scare, why? because they are to abide by the law.

And yeah, he's right. As long as he kept being gentle like this, these people won't use violence as well.

Shane adjusted his pullover well, the fluffy cat-like fur tickling the lower part of his face that was covered up.

He spoke up, "attempt murder? says who?" he questioned.

"You have no right to question here. We've been looking for you for a while now. If you didn't manage to get hold of a newspaper and see what transpired in your absence; you will get to see it soon and understand better." A female agent spoke up, holding the urge to punch his face with the facade he had on.

Shane scoffed at her words, "so rude!" he complained.

"Mind what you say Mr." she retorts.

Shane sighed, "fine! I planned to just go home and be with my wife, but since I'm summoned based on an assumption of attempt murder case without evidence, what can I say? I need to respect your uniforms I presume."  He said sarcastically.

He pretended as if he had no idea that Stella has been taken by them. This way, he could seek justice for arresting his wife because someone accused him without evidence.

Not waiting for them to digest his words, he turned back and asked his boys to return home and contact Michael to get his lawyer on standby.

He has planned everything before returning to town. He contacted his people in the dirty business and made them understood everything is under control, stating that things turned this way because he was nearly assassinated.

After speaking with them with so much confidence and lots of assurance, they decided to provide him a capable lawyer to get out of the mess, which he thanked them for.

They also made him understand that there have been some new people abducted as usual and took away for training. The males will be trained as assassins and got distributed between them for their use, while the females with attractive bodies were sold.

The females who seem to fit in the categories of fighters were spared from being sold. While those who voluntarily sacrifice themselves, probably because it's their siblings that was about to be taken, before they chose to go in their places; those types of females were given the opportunity to chose to be a fighter or got sold to god knows where and serves only god knows purposes.

Those were how they got their loyalist. Most were threatened, as they were taken from towns that were struggling to survive without much government to give them protection.

The technology has advanced now and most of them couldn't get through and planned attack to revenge like the batches who killed Shane's father.

Some were kids about 15 to 16 years of age, who were homeless and taken away, without no one to look for them. They will be brought up and trained and get distributed accordingly.

They also lend their men to some powerful people in some cases and get a hefty amount of money, which they distributed among themselves.

There were many other dirty works, which Ethan has managed to get hold of as well.

Those assurance boosted Shane's confidence, making him act mighty and all. The agents looked at him as he talked with his boys and sneered in their head.

It's nice of him to take them as idiots. They knew he wanted Stella back, based on what Alex told them.

If his so called lawyer is damn good and got him out of the web, he will want to ask about Stella, which Alex has informed them that, he should be told that Stella was released, as she claimed that she has also been trying to leave Shane's cage of a home for a while.

Even though Stella didn't say anything, it was planned to be stated that Stella testified against him. If he object to all Stella said, which wasn't recorded on Stella's order of not wanting her face and voice in all these mess.

If he said Stella lied, then she will be searched for and prosecuted for lying to the law. After Stella's talk with Alex on the day she returned back to her senses, he decided to use the so called love he had for Stella against him.

They wondered if he will admit to everything, or asked for Stella to be punished by law. They could claim Stella said all that to get freed.

If things turned out like that, he will be confused that Stella has ran away and will try to find her at all costs, which will also limited his assumptions on Alex taking her in.

They didn't understand why they couldn't just take off their uniform and shot the bastard right now and going through all this, but seeing how confidence and arrogant he appeared to be, they couldn't wait for the fun as well.

After instructing his boys on what to do with some eye signals and all, Shane turned around and followed them with confidence.
