Arlan opened the car door and saw three unconscious men. Their limbs were tied tightly using clothes. Even their mouths were sealed to prevent them from shouting or making a commotion.
Arlan grabbed one of them and slapped him three times.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
"Argh!" Soon, the man groaned and slowly opened his eyes.
When he saw Arlan in front of him, the man's eyes widened in shock.
"Who sent you here?" Arlan asked in a low voice. Arlan's chilling gaze bored into the man's eyes, making him shiver unknowingly.
Arlan grabbed the cloth stuffed inside the man's mouth. "Your survival depends on your answers. I know that you are only sent by someone. If you tell me who that person is, I'll consider sparing your life."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe man stared at him hesitantly upon hearing his words. "W-Will you truly spare my life?" He was only an old member of the cartel, but he valued his life more.
Arlan's lips curved upwards as he nodded his head. "Of course."
The man took a deep breath as he gathered his thoughts. He was sweating profusely because of the intense nervousness he was feeling. He didn't know what lies ahead of him, but he knew that if he didn't say anything, the person in front of him will kill him without hesitation. Thinking about this, he lifted his head and opened his mouth. "I- I'm working for Boss Diego. He told us to capture you and bring you back to the base. There are also three more people that we need to capture, but they are only secondary targets. Our main target is you."
Arlan narrowed his eyes. "Who is this Diego that you are talking about? And who are the three secondary targets you mentioned?"
The man hesitated once again, but under Arlan's cold gaze, he could only spill everything. "Boss Diego is one of the cartel's top figures. He is mainly responsible for the drug business in Makati, Taguig, and three other cities. Sometimes, he also impersonates Boss Leandro to confuse the spies hidden in our ranks. As for the three secondary targets, they are Sofia, Loyd, and Maria."
When the man mentioned Diego, he thought about the person he met in one of their bases. That guy was wearing a mask and he was also impersonating Leandro. Arlan was 90% certain that the guy was Diego. Arlan was surprised that he was actually one of Leandro's top dogs. As for Sofia's family being targeted, he already expected it. Sofia's father was heavily guarded by the police and the drug cartel wouldn't be foolish enough to clash with them.
Arlan didn't know why Leandro was willing to go through so much trouble just to get a woman. With his means, it shouldn't be a problem for him to play with foreign beauties. 'Is there something special about Sofia?' He thought.
Arlan grabbed the man's shoulder and asked in a cold voice. "What else do you know?"
"That..." The man gritted his teeth and said. "B- Boss Diego will personally deliver a package in three days to a big client. From what I heard, the drugs that would be delivered are worth more than 200 million pesos!"
Arlan's eyes lit up when he heard this information. "Tell me more about it."
After interrogating the man, he managed to get some useful information.
According to him, the person who will be meeting Diego was actually one of Maharlika's senators, Senator Ramon Arcenal! This made him shocked because the said senator was famous for helping people in need. The top local network even made a movie that was dedicated to him! Other than information related to Senator Ramon, Arlan also asked the man about the specific details of the delivery. This included the time of delivery, the place, and the number of men that Diego would bring with him.
"Good! I like people like you..." Arlan said as he patted the man's cheeks with a big smile on his face. He then turned his head to Khalon and whispered to him. "Dispose of them. Don't let the police discover you and make sure that the job is done cleanly."
"Yes, boss!" Khalon nodded his head.
"Go with him." Arlan stared at Karl with an unreadable look on his face. The latter's face was serious, but he nodded his head after a moment of hesitation. Karl didn't want to kill again, but it was a different thing when it involved criminals. He also knew that these guys would be bailed out if they sent them to the police.
"Yes, boss!" Karl nodded his head solemnly.
The man inside the car noticed that something was amiss with their gazes. "Hey! You promised that you will let me live! Don't go back on your-"
Pa!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKhalon gave him a karate chop which instantly knocked him out. He then stuffed back the cloth in the man's mouth.
"Don't throw their guns. We will use them." Arlan muttered. It was very difficult to purchase a gun in Maharlika. The process was troublesome and there were many tests that needed to be done. As for buying illegally in the black market, it was dangerous since all sorts of people gather in such places.
Arlan gave a few more instructions before sending them off with his gaze. He had his reasons for sending Karl with Khalon. Karl was once part of the military and he might have some lingering attachments to the army. Arlan wanted to test if Karl was someone that he could trust. If he accomplished the task with Khalon, Arlan would be willing to trust him.
When he could no longer see the vehicle, he headed back upstairs to look for Krizia. He remembered that the President of Louis Vuitton was also coming today. And looking at the time on his watch, they should be here by now.
'Krizia must be dealing with a lot of things right now because I also told her to prepare for the arrival of Laurence and Morgan.' Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel guilty.
He hurriedly called Zed and asked her for Krizia's whereabouts.
"Miss Rosalez is speaking with Mr. Peter Bacari, the President of Louis Vuitton. They are in..."
"... Alright. Thanks."
After knowing where Krizia was, Arlan quickly headed to the location spoken by Zed. Soon, he found Krizia chatting with four foreigners. They appeared to be refined individuals from the way they bring themselves.
'They should be the people from Louis Vuitton and the LVMH Group.' He thought as he walked towards them.
