Chapter 26: Chapter 26

This is dedicated to all my readers out there!

Hope you like it. I have been updating for a long time because it is action-like so it needs more knowledge.

❤️❤️❤️

Suddenly the surroundings darkened and nervousness flashed at him. He immediately looked for the woman next to him but she disappeared there.

"Consuela?"

He knew he was the target of the man behind that chaos. The light came on and only men in black surrounded him. Men are ready to fight. Five against one. Does the leader underestimate the lone Antoine Dela Merced and only five against him?

He presses the button in his ear. Connected to one of the seven Racketeer. It's just that unexpectedly. He didn't expect this to happen but he had to be prepared. He pulled out the dagger that was on the side. He could do nothing but fight closely with them. He was not carrying a gun because they entered an exclusive building. Whoever planned this mess seems to have a good plan. Five rushed at him but he could see and read their every move. One's hands clasped and he eluded its move. He took the chance to handle his arms and was angrily punch and position it to a man who had a knife, he does it with the ensuing rush. The knife that the man was going to stab hit the man's heart. He grabbed it by the hair and knelt his face. It was heavy but he was able to throw it to the next man who is running in his direction. It lost its balance and hit its face on the floor. The other last man released a small knife which it threw in his direction. He was shocked when the blade touched his cheek. That the second time that happened and it was frustrating. He was so annoyed that when he approached it, he used to step on the concrete chair to kick it hard in the air.

"Antoine where are you?"

"Code BEV12."

It's just that and already cuts the line. He heard loud applause. That man is now at the top of the stage where he can see the events.

"You're really good Dela Merced. You can't defeat that easily." He knows at first that this person cannot be trusted. On another side, he also did not think that the person in front of him and the person he knew were one. Is this the one behind all the ambushes happening to him?

"Marcus"

He looks like he said that seriously. The corner of his lips lifted as he grinned.

"Still remember me Antoine or I must say, Ton Ton?"

"I don't care what you call me Marcus. Give back the woman you took. She's not involved in things that have to do with me"

"I also don't believe what you're saying. I'll kill that woman if you don't follow what I say"

Is Antoine stunned? He can't allow Consuela to be hurt but he's also not a fool to just follow him. He looked around but saw no one with him.

"I won't follow your wishes until I see Consuela was safe"

He wanted to stab her in the neck as Marcus laughed out loud like a crazy man.

"The Leader of Racketeer was in loved"

"I don't have time to laugh at you"

He was serious and stared at her intently. Eventually, he laughed again. To his annoyance, he threw the knife towards its chest but Marcus promptly caught it and threw it back at him. He dodged so that it didn't hit him.

It whistled and there were more men in there than before.

"If you want to see your woman again. You'll know which of my last men you can kill"

He even raised his hand to signal that I was leaving. He was about to follow Marcus when the men in black stopped him. There were so many of them and he was sure he couldn't just knock them down that fast. Even so, he had to keep up with the men in front of him. He wasted no more time. He will fight even if there are so many of them. All he had on his mind was to save Consuela. Six of them are knocked down when the five Racketeers arrived.

"I won't wait to knock you down until there's only one left so just now tell me where they took Consuela"

He held the neck of one of them while the others were still fighting with them. They were more numerous so they were quickly defeated. Apart from their seven, there are also several members of each Racketeer.

"On the West side of Samno Village they took the woman where the tallest abandoned building is. The boss said you're the only one who needs to go there if you're not going to be killed-"

He did not finish it and just stabbed it in the neck with a dagger. He stood up and was about to leave that place quickly when Nick called him.

"Uno, where are you going?"

"I'm just going to do something important and none of you can follow"

"But Antoine!" Matthew would have liked to protest but he looked at it badly.

"No one will follow me. I'm against it and you're out of here"

"You may not be able to cope if you are alone. We are here Antoine to help you," said Nate.

Their heads are really stubborn.

"If anyone disobeys my command to you, I will kill you myself. Do you understand?"

They are stunned. Later Pietro spoke.

"No one will follow us, Antoine. You can count on me to slit the neck of anyone who follows you."

He nodded before heading to the place where they had taken Consuela. Just seeing her hurt, he wouldn't stop himself from killing that Marcus. This is what was behind the assassination attempts on him. This time they even met and he promised to kill that asshole!

It took him two hours to reach the place indicated by Marcus' men. It was dark inside and only a part of that building was lighted. He was sure Consuela was there. He took the equipment inside the vehicle. He would do anything to save Consuela. No one even rushed him outside. It just means they are waiting for him to come.

A very heartwarming welcome!

Slowly he made his entry. He never had faith in the silence of the surroundings especially when he knew the opponent was just around. No one was rushing so he managed to walk down the hallway to the room where the light was. He grabbed his gun when he heard the woman's scream. She can't be wrong Consuela is what he hears. He quickly ran between his stand and that room.

The immense room opened up to him. The light that only gives light there will come from a very strong flame of fire.

Consuela was there but she was tied up in front of the very strong fire.

"Hey, your lover boy has arrived," Marcus spoke.

"You're a demon Marcus. Get me down here! If I only knew you had a bad temper. I wish I had poisoned you when you went home"

"When I went to your house, your parents accepted me. I just said that I was your uncle's nephew. I didn't know that they were quick to believe."

He laughed out loud again like crazy.

"You're a beast!"

Disgusted Consuela said even though it was very hard in her position tied to the air.

"Here I am Marcus. Focus on me and untie that woman"

"I want to Dela Merced. I want us to fight. I've wanted to do that for a long time. To kill you in my hands. Say goodbye to this woman as soon as possible because your life is the only substitute for her safety "

He rolled his eyes on the surroundings. He has men but they will not interfere because their actions are based on the orders of their boss. He removed the weapons he was carrying. Thrown them somewhere. He got what he wanted to happen. He wants them to fight one on one.

"Now take that woman down"

"As long as you don't beat me"

Marcus stepped in front of him. It does not hold any weapon in the body. This man plans to fight him with no weapon. within He prepared himself. This is the first rush. It unleashed a blow that he dodged. He grinned again like crazy. He shuddered at that moment so he kicked it slightly in the face because the man able to move backward. Marcus stroked the blood that came out of the wound on the edge of his lips. Marcus looks at him seriously. It doesn't seem to like what happened.

He turned to Consuela as she screamed. He was shocked when Marcus's fist hit his stomach. He backed away with a blow that followed.

Shit!

Is he saying it can't be trusted? This is a cunning one. One of his men lowered slightly the rope tied to Consuela. If he doesn't finish the fight right away, the woman will be burned alive. Courageously he approached Marcus. The fight he wants is close so he will follow the cunning man's wishes.

He approached and slammed it with a series of punches and kicks. Only one of his kicks hit its thigh. It sat down after that. His kick was polished so he knew it hurt. He didn't miss that. He approached it and pulled it by the collar and angrily punch him in the face. He knelt it on his stomach. It bleeds. He knows where the part of the body that is sensitive is. He can't just underestimate him. He grabbed his shoulder and grinned foolishly.

"Antoine!"

Consuela screamed again. He could see it almost close to the fire. It is probably getting hot because it is only a few meters away from the fire.

"Now when you move I will continue to throw your girlfriend Antoine into the fire"

He tightened his grip on his collar when a knife pierced his chest. Evil and anger were visible in the man's eyes as he stared at Marcus. Even if he wants to move, he is worried that he will continue to threaten Consuela.

He grinned and kicked her hard in the stomach. He fell and cried out in pain as it stamped hard on his chest wound. He clung to its feet but he didn't have the strength to remove it when he heard Consuela's scream again.

Two of its men approached and held him with both hands. Another carried solid wood and handed it to Marcus.

"Marcus! Don't please.. pity Antoine h..he can't fight with so many of you. He's just only one compared to all of you." Crying Consuela said. Marcus turned to it. He grabbed her by the hair and faced the woman.

"Just don't worry Consuela. I won't hurt him. We'll just play"

He then laughed as if teasing.

Her chest wound was painful but she could see that Consuela's condition was more painful. If he doesn't defeat Marcus they will surely both die. Its face was streaked with fear and pity. If it just didn't hold the woman she wouldn't be willing to jump in and beat him.

He was struck by a solid wood on his head. Blood ran down his forehead. He was depressed with pain. He could hear Consuela's scream but he no longer had the strength to move his body. He fails to add that he has lost a lot of blood because of the wound that Marcus has created in his chest. He held his breath as Marcus squeezed his wound again. Its staff still holds both his hands.

"ahhhhhrkk!" he cried out in extreme pain.

"Does Antoine hurt?"

Marcus asked laughing.

"Or maybe it hurts more?"

One of its men pointed the gun in Consuela's direction. He disappeared with all his might when the two on his side clung to him and angrily get close to Marcus. His eyes narrowed because he was still able to move in his condition.

"I let you hurt me but not that woman. I'll do what you want in exchange for that woman's safety Marcus"

"Even if you don't say that I'll kill you, Antoine. But I'll give you a chance to say goodbye to your woman lover boy"

Marcus commands his men for Consuela to come down. They immediately complied. Consuela's tie has also been removed. She ran closer to him and hugged him tightly. Marcus's men are about to stop her but Marcus just signals to them to let them go.

"Antoine ..." She cried as she wiped the blood running down his cheek and forehead.

"Consuela. Are you okay?"

He still says it seriously.

"Shhh ... you ... you're the one who's so hurt. Are you okay?"

He just nodded to say he was fine but the pain was his chest wound. He was also having trouble breathing but he just didn't want to show it because it would make him panic even more. All he had to think about was how to get out of there.

"Do what you want to do to me Marcus in exchange for this woman's safety." He repeats what he said earlier. He might change his mind and listen to him.

Marcus looked at him seriously. He was also looking to Marcus seriously.

"If that's what you want. But because I'm a cunning lover boy. It's better if he sees you're having a hard time"

The woman's embrace disappeared as she faced Marcus furiously.

"You know it doesn't matter what you look like! You're a demon Marcus. You don't have a heart! You look like Antoine before!"

She sighed at what he heard. To whom does she say those things?

"No one will love you! And I'm sure you're the only one in life because your attitude is so disappointing"

Marcus moaned at what he heard. It clings very tightly to the wooden handle.

"All I don't want are tackles like you. Maybe it's better if you and Antoine go together!"

He would angrily hit Consuela with the wood which he immediately caught. He hugged Consuela backward in Marcus's manner so he was the one hit by that solid wood. It hit the back of his head neatly. He bit the woman's shoulder so hard that it hit her back and head one after another. He thinks that Marcus was really angry. Consuela's only reaction to Marcus's apparent pain was crying. He cried and heard gunshots before he felt the numbness of his body and he completely lost consciousness.
