Chapter 49: Chapter 49

WARNING: VIOLENCE SCENE BELOW

~Third person's POV~

"Are we done yet?" Lexis asks taking off his Rolex wrist watch before he glances at Erica who is standing beside him. He turns away and starts to take off the jacket of his statuesque red suit while he awaits her reply.

"No underboss. He still won't say anything." She replies looking at Lexis whose expression becomes hard.

He has just returned from the meeting with his father and he's already pissed enough that he's being forced to marry someone he wants nothing to do with.

Lexis turns to her, "Where is George?"

"He is taking care of the supplies at the safehouse."

Lexis sighs, "Seems I will take care of this myself." He says as he snatches the tab from Erica's hands before scrolling through it.

He gives it back to her and dips his hands into his pockets before walking out of the room heading to the basement where he keeps his offenders.

His men stops torturing the man and quickly makes room for him as he arrives.

"You already look a mess, Jeffrey..." He calls the name of the man who has been beaten to beyond recognition. He has blood flowing from his head and his clothes are soaked in it as well.

"You psychopath!" Jeffery curses loudly as he grits his teeth, feeling deep agony in his heart. He feels the urge to punch the hell out of Lexis's face but the chains are restraining him and besides, where would he get the strength?

"Let's get this done with, shall we? I'm a very beneficient man you see." He moves closer to Jeffery him and squirts before him.

Jeffery scoffs, "Beneficient my foot! Just let me f**king go you bastard!" He yells.

Lexis's expression turns serious and he forcefully pulls Jeffery's chin up making him wince hard in pain.

"Where are the guns?" He asks with a serious tone.The new supply of guns that they bought from Jacques has been tempered with and after much investigation, he found out Jeffery is involved. Someone is trying to make him look incompetent and he's having a feeling that it's William but he needs to confirm his suspicion first. If Richard finds out that some if the guns are missing, it would look as if he's careless.

Of course he's not scared of his father. If there's even anything he fears in his life, it definitely cannot be his father. He loathes the man and would have blown off his head years ago if he wanted to but he want to punish him instead and he wants to enjoy every piece of it. So if he loses his father's favor, it would ruin his plans.

Jeffery scoffs as he looks at him with contempt. "I don't f**king know!"

"Of course you don't.." Lexis says in accord. "And that's why I'm here to help you remember."

Jeffery laughs sarcastically, "You're only wasting your time. I will not tell you shit! You can do whatever the f**k you want to do to me. I don't give a damn!" There is clear determination in his voice.

Lexis smirks but didn't say anything. He stands up and steps hard on Jeffery's injured fingers making him scream out in pain.

"Well well well. You're almost 38 years old and you don't have a family..." He shrugs as he puts more pressure on his fingers while Jeffery keeps screaming out in pain, tears coming out from the corner of his eyes.

Lexis continues, "Well, everyone has a weakness, that's my believe. And you..." He points to him. "-definitely have one. So don't worry, I know just what it is."

Jeffery stares at him in confusion.

Lexis' smirk widens before he lets out a cold laugh and snaps his fingers. Just then, Jayson is seen making his way into the basement holding a blue silver Persian cat to his chest.

Jeffrey's confident face turns into a frightful and panicking one. He swallows hard as sweat becomes visible on his forehead.

Lexis reaches out to Jayson who hands over the cat to him before going over to stand beside Erica who keeps looking at him in confusion.

"It's such an adorable kitty..." Lexis utters softly to the cat who relaxes in his hold.

Jeffery's face is already filled with sweat as he stares at Lexis. He knows very well that Lexis isn't playing. This is his cat, it's not only his pet but also his family.

"It's such a pity that it's leaving so soon." Lexis says as he gazes at Jeffery.

"Don't... Don't touch him! Don't touch him!" He cries out with obsequious terror when he sees Lexis tightens his hands around the little kitten's small neck. The little creature struggles in his hold but isn't strong enough for the hand that holds it firmly.

"Please! Stop!" Jeffery cries out again with more desperation as he tries to get out of the chains holding him back. He knows very well that Lexis would not hesitate to kill it.

Lexis loosens his grip on the cat. "Where are my f**king guns, Jeffery?" He asks again with a tauntful tone and a dark gaze. His eyes are now dark, showing no emotions. His tone is so cold that it could freeze an ocean.

"Just kill me, you piece of shit!" Jeffery curses out with his eyes still fixed on the cat in Lexis's hold. He knows that if Lexis kills him, he would no longer find the cat useless and even if he kills it, he wouldn't be alive to witness the poor creature die. It would be less painful for him that way.

Lexis scoffs, "Oh! How smart of you. You want me to kill you so you wouldn't be able to watch your cute thing die. ." He shakes his head. "Oh, how sad. Well that means l will have to dispose this little creature first." He smirks before pressing the muzzle of the gun on the cat's head.

"How about we send you on a trip, little kitty?" He says with a smile as he curls his fingers around the trigger.

Jeffery's face turns pale. "What... What're you doing?"

Lexis glances at him before focusing back on pulling the trigger. "I have nothing against cats but... It's a shame pretty kitty."He strokes the guts of the cat.

"No no no no! Please!" Jeffery cries out as Lexis is about pulling the trigger. "I'Il say everything!" He adds quickly. "So please... Please don't hurt him. He's... He's all I have."

Lexis pulls down the gun, "Start talking, I can't promise you shit."

"But.." Jeffery starts to protest but he chokes on his words as Lexis raises up the gun again. "You have to assure me that you won't hurt it!" He manages to say.

Lexis rolls his eyes with a bored expression."I said l make no f**king promises. If you aren't ready to tell me where my guns are, you can shut the f**k up so l can quickly dispose this cat in front of you."

Jeffery quickly nods, "Yes yes, okay."

Lexis signals for Jayson to come and he quickly strides over to take the cat from his sight.

"I'm listening." Lexis says to Jeffery while someone brings him a chair which he sits on crossing his right leg over the other.

Jeffery spits out blood from his mouth, "I am not with the guns."

Lexis's eyes darkens, "Are you f**king with me?!"

A huge number of muskets are no where to he found and this bastard is just annoying the hell out of him the more. It wasn't easy to get those guns and if the guns end up all over the streets, it would have a negative effect on them. It would elevate the crime rate and the police would come looking for them. He's not ready to deal with any of that shit at the moment. He would have to get the weapons back before it gets sold or he would need to keep them under control to prevent it from circulating. Any of that would stress the shit out of him.

"All I did was to give the location to Anthony."

Lexis' brows shoot up, "Anthony? You gave the location to that f**king mercenary?"

"That's all I did. I was only to give the location and get my money..."

"Shut the f**k up!" Lexis yells at him as he points the guns at his head. "You know what? Thanks for the little info, you're done here."

Jeffery's eyes widens, "You...You can't kill me."

Lexus feigns a confused look, "Why? Last I checked, you were asking me to."

"You...You can't kill me. I...I already gave you the info you need. The guns are...They have been moved by Anthony . And...And I'm sure he has someone controlling him..."

"Yeah yeah, thank you for that. You're no more useful to me, so.." He shrugs. "We dispose useless things, don't we?"

"No please, don't!"

And then, bang! He pulls the trigger, the bullet going straight for the middle of Jeffery's head.

Lexis tosses the gun over to Erica who catches it in a swift. "Dispose the body."

He starts walking away before Jayson runs to him. "Underboss...What...What do I do with the cat?"

Lexus turns to look at the cat and with a blank expression, "Feed it to my dogs at the dungeon."

He starts to walk away while Jayson stares at the cat contemplating on what to do and just as he's about to turn away, the cat jumps out of his arms and runs over to Lexis.

Lexis turns to look down and he pauses as he sees the cat staring at him with a sad expression on it's face.

He stares at it,"Do you understand human language? Seems you already know your fate."

He sighs and turns to Jayson. "Do with it whatever you want, it doesn't have to be my dogs." With that, he walks away not sparing the cat a glance.

Jayson picks up the cat and stares at it. "What do l do with this?"

Erica walks up to him, "Give it to me."

Jayson turns to her, "You like cats?"

She rolls her eyes, "Just give it to me."

Jayson shrugs and hands it over to her.

She gently carries it and starts stroking it's furs. "How cute." She smiles before turning to Jayson.

"How come you're here? We've been searching for you."

"The underboss found me. I was kinda scared to show up since l don't know my fate but of course, he found me himself. He told me about the guns and said he would give me a chance to redeem myself if I can do something useful for him..."

"And you helped him find out about Jeffrey's weakness?"

He nods, "Yes. It was not easy though."

Erica shakes his head, "I have never seen a weak capo like you before."

Jayson frowns, "But I was able to do what you couldn't."

Erica rolls her eyes and starts walking away."You know if you run away this time, the underboss would send you to hell, right?"

Jayson nods, "Of course I know that. I won't run away, okay?" He starts walking after her.

XOXO
