His family had been kidnapped on Friday. On that same day, he had gone around, trying to look for them. Somehow, he had noticed one of the gangsters that he had seen together with Harry, and followed him here.
It was just by coincidence that he overheard the gangsters talking. They were talking about the two people that they had kidnapped, and were being kept at a basement.
When he thought of that, he immediately looked for a person who was living in this neighborhood. He questioned him about the layout of this bar. With that, he got information about the bar.
But just to make sure, he went ahead and asked yet another person. The information that he got was more or less the same. That was the way that he knew that there was actually a basement inside this bar.
But of course, he understood that it was going to be difficult for him to be able to get his family out of this place by himself. After all, just by counting, he had managed to count more than 15 gangsters.
If he was alone, he could definitely manage to break away from them, even if he was ganged on. But it was different if he was having his mother and sister. It was difficult for him to be able to protect them in such a chaotic situation.
It was then that someone suggested a solution to him. This person was among the group that Harry led back in school. It was just that the relationship between that guy and himself was quite good.
It could be said that In the entire group, only this guy and Alfie talked with each other, and so far, Alfie came to know that the other party was not that much involved with these shady things.
In fact, he had only joined Harry's group, because he was not capable of joining Scarlet's. It was due to this reason that when a suggestion was given, Alfie considered it.
That guy had told him that if it was just one person, it was definitely impossible to be able to rescue his family. But if he could get Scarlet to help him, since she was strong enough, it should not be that difficult.
Thinking that what had been said actually made sense, he did not hesitate to go and look for Scarlet. But of course, it was impossible for him to be able to find her on Friday, as she was not in school. And on Saturday and Sunday, since it was on weekend, nobody was in the campus, apart from those that lived inside the campus hostels.
But just as he was getting desperate, Scarlet came to the campus on this day. The moment that he was informed, he went looking for her.
Of course, he was relieved after she agreed. But now, he realized that he had not only put his own family in danger, instead, he had even gone ahead to involve two people that were not supposed to be in this at all.
"Harry, it is me that you want. Why don't you let my family and these two leave?" Alfie spoke up. He did not want Jaden and Scarlet to be involved in this, and neither did he want his family to suffer.
Even though he did not understand the reason why his mother and sister had been within the basement, but nobody had done anything to them, no torture or anything else, he did not want to risk anything.
Harry looked at him before finally speaking, "Of course, the business between you and I is still there. I have another deal that I would like you to help me with. It is because of this deal that you can see that your family has not been harmed.
Other than not being able to see the sun, they were provided with everything that they needed to survive. It can be said that the past 3 days were the best for them."
Alfie squinted his eyes as he looked at Harry. He could tell that Harry was actually talking the truth about not harming his family. As for the deal, Alfie did not want to think about it.
In any case, he did not want to be involved with Harry at all. Previously, he had no choice, considering that he had borrowed money from loan sharks that were related to Harry.
After Harry came to know that Alfie was a good fighter, he decided that he was going to recruit him. Of course, Alfie refused. But he was given another option, that was to help Harry secure the position of the president of the fighting club, and the debt would be written off.
But it was impossible for him to be able to win against Scarlet. And in the end, Harry was furious about it, and had even threatened that if he did not repay the debt, he would target his family.
Alfie had gone ahead to work, and even on Friday when his family was kidnapped, he was doing odd jobs in order to get money to repay the debt. But now, here they were.
He had not expected that the kidnapping of his family was actually a plan that Harry was having in order to get Jaden and Scarlet here. If he had known, he would have definitely not listened to the other party.
Since Harry was not surprised by Jaden's and Scarlet's presence here, it was clear that the one that had given him the idea was instigated by Harry. All along, it was clear that the other party was affiliated with Harry, but he had been trying to show that he was not, so that he could win Alfie's trust.

"That is the business between you and me. It does not involve them." Alfie stated as calmly as he could, even though he was furious. After all, he was not happy about being schemed against, especially being used in order to be able to get other people in a trap. Stay connected with m-v l|e'm,p| y- r
"That's actually true. I'm only concerned with you. As for Scarlet and that guy over there, I don't really care about them. This is none of my business. So, if you want them to be released from here, you will have to ask Lucas about it." Harry shrugged his shoulders as he pointed at Lucas once again as he spoke.
Alfie wanted to say something, but when he looked at Lucas, he understood that it was impossible for him to be able to convince Lucas to leave Scarlet and Jaden alone. After all, from the looks of it, there was a conflict between them.
Previously, Alfie understood that Lucas and Scarlet were in the same group. But from the looks of it, it seemed that the two of them were enemies of life and death.
Even though he did not know what had happened, he understood that it was impossible for him to be able to convince this guy to allow Scarlet and Jaden to leave. After all, the other party did not even care about his own family.
"Okay. Lucas, the stage is all yours. I am leaving, you will find me at the bar." Harry stated. Then, he looked at Alfie and said, "You can come with me. Oh by the way, ask your family to come as well. That way, we can negotiate quite well about the next deal."
Alfie of course did not want to leave. But, he wanted his family to get out of this place safely. So, he was not sure on what to do. On one side, he did not want to abandon Jaden and Scarlet, considering that he was the one that had brought them here, but he wanted to leave as well, considering that he would be able to take his family away from here.
"You can just go. You don't have to worry about us. We can take care of ourselves." Scarlet suddenly spoke up, surprising him.
As she spoke to him, Alfie did not detect any form of anger coming from her. After all, he was the one who had put them in this situation, but Scarlet was not blaming him.
Alfie looked at Jaden, only to realize that Jaden did not have a change in his expression at all. It was difficult for him to tell if Jaden was angry at him or not.
"But-" Alfie wanted to claim that it was going to be difficult for them to be able to break out of this situation, when suddenly, Scarlet pointed towards the door that had been broken.
It was then that Alfie was reminded about the instance where Jaden had broken the door with just a single kick. Even though the door was not destroyed to the hinges that were holding it, but the area that was used to lock the door was broken.
Alfie gulped as he looked at Jaden. At the same time, he turned to look at the group of gangsters that were still glaring at them with fierce expressions.
At this moment, he lamented for them. If Jaden was capable of destroying the door with just a single kick, it was clear that it was going to be quite easy for him to be able to handle this group of gangsters.
So, after hesitating again, he called for his mother and sister. Then, he began climbing the stairs. His mother and sister were following behind him, as Alfie was not sure if this group of gangsters was going to change their mind and attacking the moment that he got there.
But it seemed that his worries were unwarranted. After all, the moment that they got in front of the group of gangsters, the gangsters opened the path for them, and Alfie and his family were allowed to leave.
Of course, the one that was leading the way was none other than Harry. It seemed that he did not care much about what was going to happen here.
After Harry, Alfie and his family had left, Lucas finally looked at Jaden and Scarlet. Not wanting to hold back anymore, he pointed towards them and said, "Attack them. Beat them down to the ground, and allow me finish them off with the punishment of my own."
The moment that he said those words, the group of gangsters charged towards Jaden and Scarlet in a chaotic manner.
