Chapter 24: Shoot

Beryl is still weighing up Keven's offer. Although he had just recovered, but that did not mean that he was unable to duel with the enemy.

“Alright, I'll face that bastard. Eijaz you call the police once we get in there. And you guys, take care of those guards!” beryl's decision is already unanimous.

“Hahaha,” Keven chuckles.

Meanwhile, Kaif and Eijaz are relieved that the man did not act foolishly by accepting Keven's crazy offer.

“So, Uncle admitted that it turns out age affects the strength of the punch?” cibir Keven's.

“Damn it! My age can increase, but my punch can still make you all battered!” Beryl showed me her fist.

“If I face them all, then why are you here? Young people like you guys have a lot of practice!” beryl's advice.

“So, what’s the plan?” sahut Zhiggy's.

Keven took out a piece of paper from his pocket while staring at them one by one. He opened the sheet and placed it on the hood of Kaif's car. A floor plan from the old building where Alin was held.

“Here’s the plan!”

^^o^

Dashtan sits back on the couch, enjoying a serving of fried chicken in his favorite cheese sauce. Both of his eyeballs were not separated from the news broadcast on television. There has been no news of the disappearance of a woman in the park. He thought of Alin's earlier speech. Is it true that the girl has nothing to do with Beryl Monza? If it is true, then it is messed up.

Dashtan's appetite suddenly disappears imagining that his carefully crafted plan should just crumble. How foolish he was to miss out on such important information. Dashtan licks his fingers covered in cheese sauce. One bottle of alcoholic drink he swallowed up the toilet.

“Bos!” one of his confidants came to report.

“Say, any information!” said Dashtan firmly

“We're in trouble, Boss!”

Dashtan raised his head, from the sound of the burly man in front of him he suspected that there was a big problem lurking.

“What problems?”

“That girl doesn't seem like a random person!” Dashtan linked his two thick eyebrows.

“From the info I got, the Saverio family came looking for the whereabouts of the girl.”

“Saverio? You sure?” the man nodded.

Dashtan stood up, his head feeling swirling. The surname Saverio is not a common name. According to rumors circulating among nobles and high-class businessmen, the Saverio family's ancestors were former members of the mafia. In fact, some say that their predecessors still have ties with the royal family in several countries in the world. They also have a special security force called the Black Star. However, the existence of Black Star itself was still doubtful to many parties. Some people reportedly avoid problems with the Saverio family rather than later they just stay names.

“Who is the girl actually?” Dashtan massaged his temple.

Dashtan's curiosity leads him back into the room where he locks Alin. Danger threatened him if it was true that the Saverio family intervened. Once again Dashtan lamented his folly of not finding out more details about his captivity.

Alin is still in his place. His stomach was sore because he had not touched food for most of the day. He was forced to drink the water Dashtan brought to moisten the dry esophagus and soothe the moans of worms in his stomach.

Seeing Dashtan's figure from behind the door of the room that was opened made Alin feel sick. He wanted to shout loudly, but it would not bring any reinforcements to save him. That vicious man must not be a stupid human who locked him up in a densely populated location. Alin continued to chant prayers in his heart, pleading with God to send a helper angel.

Dashtan pulled the chair up to sit right next to Alin's bed. His sense of vision looked at Alin from head to toe. A small, proportioned dentist who lives with his paralysed father. His mother was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. Alin's family background was nothing special. However, the class of the Saverio family to look for its existence is quite interesting. What is so special about the girl in front of him?

“What is the relationship between you and the Saverio family?” ask Dashtan.

“Why? Don't you know more about me? Or have you started to fear being picked up by the angel of death?” Alin smiled cynically.

“Can you just answer my question?” Dashtan is getting upset.

“I told you you were wrong. Soon they will come to keep you from twitching,” taunted Alin.

Alin could breathe a sigh of relief, God listened to his prayer. His family would not stay silent when they found out he had been kidnapped.

“You won't be able to scare me!” Dashtan grunts sebal.

“I don't have to scare you! Because once they arrive at this place, your fate will be finished.”

“***!” Dashtan cursed because his captives were difficult to cooperate with. Emotions overflowed to the crown darkened the eyes of his heart.

Dashtan pressed down on Alin's neck with his hands, then slapped the girl until a drop of blood seeped into the corner of her lips. A heat lingered on Alin's cheek, making him hiss in pain.

“I will stuff your mouth so as not to carelessly talk!” Dashtan had one of his men standing in front of the room door to pick up the duct tape.

Alin was tormented feeling sore lips covered with duct tape and his tightly bound hands and feet. He can't move anywhere.

“Hah, your mouth now can no longer chirp!” Dashtan goes to let Alin be in pain alone.

Alin stopped her crying when she heard the sound from the direction of the bathroom. He took the glass on the nightstand with his hands tied. The bathroom door opened little by little almost without squeaking. A head poked out from behind the door. Alin remembered in the bathroom there was a large wind hole. Before, he was about to escape through that hole. However, he did not have any tools that could be used to open the lock.

How shocked Alin was when he saw someone coming out of the bathroom. The person she just missed. Beryliano Monza was standing right in front of him. Alin closed his eyes, afraid that this was just an illusion. Alin opened his eyes when he felt Beryl's hand touch his face.

“Alin! My God, are you okay?” alin's tears were pouring out.

Beryl untied Alin's hands and feet, as well as the duct tape that stuck to his mouth. Alin immediately rushed to hug Beryl tightly while holding back her crying voice so as not to be heard out.

“What did it do to you?” beryl asked worried about seeing Alin's condition that was not okay.

“A-I'm ta-fear,” replied Alin as he pleased.

“Sstt, calm me down here! Don't be afraid, we'll be out of here soon!” Beryl rubbed Alin's back gently draining the calmness.

The sound of applause echoed in the room. Dashtan was already standing in the doorway watching the couple Adam and Eve embrace each other as if the world belonged to both. Alin shuffled out of bed and hid behind Beryl's muscular body.

“Wow, very impressive scene!” dashtan said with a sly smile.

“Finally, you came also here Dear Mr Beryl Monza!”

“Who are you? What do you want?” beryl asked coldly.

“Who am I? Whatdoyouwant? Hmm, I want your destruction!”

Beryl did not understand the young man's intentions. However, he begins to understand that Alin is not the real target. The young man of Kaif's age targeted her and made Alin a tool to lure her.

“My destruction? I don't think we know each other, but why do you want my destruction?”

“I lost my brother, my parents even all our possessions because of you. You're the cause!”

“I really don't understand,” Beryl scrunched her forehead.

“Do not pretend to be stupid!”

“Hey, keep your manners!” Beryl was eager to beat up the brash young man, but she tried to hold back her emotions.

“My name is Dashtan Alexander. I am the younger brother of Zahdev Alexander, the father of your three nephews. Did you remember that? Or are you getting senile?”

Alin is breaking the ball into Dashtan's explanation. So, the man who had kidnapped her was still related to Mallory, Shaquille and Kishika. Beryl was still silent where she stood, she had started to guess Dashtan's intentions and goals.

“I have not forgotten the fact that Zahdev is their real father, although I am reluctant to admit it. But, what does your brother's status have to do with this incident?”

“You are the cause of my brother's death! You deliberately got rid of her, took custody of my three nieces and ignored our family. You didn't even care when my parents begged for help because of their sick condition until they died. You made me live a kara!”

“Your brother died by his own doing! He wanted to harm his own wife by damaging the car's brakes. But unfortunately, he was unable to break away from his seat belt and eventually the car they were riding in fell into a ravine. Your sister and Delana – my sister-killed instantly.”

“Omong empty!” gertak Dashtan's.

“You think I don't know all the crimes he's committed? Your brother's a crazy treasure, he even stole company money. Sold my brother's shares and transferred all assets to be on his behalf. All the treasures enjoyed by your family are stolen treasures. The illicit treasure that made you also get lost!”

“Diaaam!” Dashtan covered both his ears.

“I still have all the evidence of your brother's infamy. I could've reported it to the police if I wanted to. But, for the sake of those three innocent children I closed everything tightly until this very second. You think I'd be willing to give up their custody to your family? They will only be money-making machines for junk humans like you!” Beryl.

“Cukuuup!” dashtan shouted as he lashed out at Beryl.

Beryl brushed off the punch, then hit Dashtan with her fist. They both hit each other. Beryl's power is still strong to serve the punch and kick Dashtan. Although their age stretched far, Beryl was still able to keep up with the young man.

Dashtan who was pressed to pull Alin's body and put a gun to his head. Alin was terrified. Beryl stopped the attack.

“Let go of him!” sahut Beryl.

“I told you, you will feel the same loss as me!” Dashtan is going crazy.

“Alin, look at me! You are a very strong woman! You are smart, great, and I love you so much!” Alin looked at Beryl's shady eyes, he was so moved by the young man's words.

Alin realizes that Beryl is encouraging him not to give up, she is not a weak woman who can be trampled by crazy men like Dashtan. Alin stomped on Dashtan's feet with all his might until he slipped out of the grip of his hand. Once Alin managed to escape, Beryl immediately landed a raw bogem on Dashtan's nape. The young man fell down.

Beryl held onto Alin whose entire body was trembling. He kissed Alin's forehead so that the girl would stop crying. There was a siren of police cars approaching. Without them realizing it, Dashtan tried to grab the gun that had been thrown and stood up despite staggering. He pointed a gun right at the back of Alin's body. Beryl, who was looking swiftly, twisted Alin's body and blocked him from using his wide back.

DOORMITORY …
