" Were you not warned not to run your mouth anyhow?" Edward was asked after he had been subjected to degrading torture.
After he was kidnapped from the hospital,he was taking to the kidnappers hideout and after he was tied to a chair,they started the torture on him trying to find out what he revealed to Ven.
The attendant was a spy deliberately planted around him as they have been in charge of his upkeep since he left Brown Empire courtesy of the people behind it.
He was given a befitting house, and made to enjoy a comfortable life. He was however warned not to reveal the secret to anybody and since they didn't really trust him, someone was planted close to him to report his daily activities.
They had been keeping an eye on him since the day he collapsed after it was reported that someone came to visit him and when it was learnt that the person came visiting again,they decided to eliminate him since he's not of any use to them again.
They only needed to confirm what he revealed and the identity of the person before carrying out his elimination.
" I don't understand what you're saying." Edward said breathing heavily,he already knows that he can't survive it.
" You want to tell us that you and the person that visited you didn't discuss anything?" One of the kidnappers asked angrily.
" Ohhh!! Are you talking about the person that visited me? He only came for some advice as he said he's aspiring to become a gallant bodyguard." Edward said lying without battling an eye, since he knows the effect.
"If you really want your life to be spared,why not consider saying the truth and be released." One of the men said calmly.
" That is the only truth I know of. I don't really know what you're expecting me to say apart from this." Edward said, he knows the person who sent them. There's no way he was leaving that place alive, that he knows.
If he knew his death was going to be early,he could have just revealed to Ven what he was concealing,who knows it might be germane to his mission.
...
Ven began trailing the vehicle that kidnapped Edward after he recovered from the shock. He wondered why someone like him should be kidnapped when it's not that he has something they need.
He had to go home first and borrowed Alex's car for the task as boarding a taxi might be dangerous for the driver.
Luckily for him, when they were still having the discussion,he slipped a tracking device into Edward's pocket unannounced. He felt uncomfortable with his advice especially when he was taking about a powerful force behind it and he had to put it there in order to always be aware of his whereabouts especially if he's meeting a strange person.
" I'm sure he didn't talk as expected or did he?" a voice said entering the hideout.
" No Sir,he remained adamant emphasizing that there's nothing to say." The head of the kidnappers said. Obviously the person that entered was not an ordinary person.
" Edward why are you doing this to yourself? There's a way you can save yourself and go back to the quiet life you've been enjoying for years." The voice said calmly with a sound of threat within.
" I don't really know what is happening. Just like you said I have been living my life in peace and I have been quiet all this while,why will I try and ruin it?" Edward asked.
" It seems you really have decided not to say anything. But you should know I will found it even if you die trying to protect it with your life." He said grinning in amusement.
" I might have failed in achieving that and standing on my feet then, but that won't happen again. I might have failed as a bodyguard but this should wash away some of my sins." He said with full conviction."
" You did that because of money. You were in dire need of money and you didn't care less to do that. Then now, you believe you're in a better position to talk. Eliminate him!!" The Man said and left the hideout.
The journey in search of Edward was not really as smooth as Ven expected as the hideout was at the outskirt of Kandon. He got down from the Car and ran after spotting a hideout he assumed might be the one since the tracking device directed him to the area. He ran in haste to the hideout to rescue Edward as fast as possible.
On getting there,there were just about to eliminate him as ordered to his surprise. You kidnapped a man from the hospital to kill him,who does that? Ven wondered.
" What are you doing here?" They asked in surprise. They were sure that they moved in discreet as that has been their den ever since. It's not even a place you can just discover definitely he's related to Edward.
" Just hand over that Man to me. I don't have business with you fools." Ven said in anger while trying to scan the environment.
" I don't think you're in a position to say that. Boys, eliminate him!!" Their leader said and moved back for them to attack.
The boys attacked uniformly though they underestimated Ven and that land them in trouble.He knocked them down after a tough time remaining only their boss.
It was not easy fighting with him because the boss is also very strong. He's able to push him and after his head made contact with the wall,he collapsed.
" Are you okay?" Ven asked as he tried to untie the rope they used in glueing his legs together and his hands also.
" I'm okay but how did you find me?" He asked surprisingly.
" I put something in your pocket to track you and that was what helped me." He said and then assisted him to stand up.
" Okay, I have something I need to tell you now before it's too late." Edward said with a tone of seriousness.
" Let's get out of here first." Ven said but Edward pulled him back.
" If I don't say it now, I might not be able to say it. Listen carefully,I don't really know your identity just as you also don't know it. Years ago, I was asked to burn down the former Chairman Mansion and since I needed money to pay for my wife's hospital bill I accepted and did just that unfortunately she later died.
" At that time, the two Kelvin were on duty and were positioned to the former Chairman's house to guard,I carried out the task as ordered." Edward said sadly,he never thought he would reveal it to anybody but he felt at ease after doing that.
" You mean you burned down the whole house? So, who was behind it?" Ven questioned with mixed feelings.
" It was Davis...." He stuttered and died." Someone shot him immediately using a silencer Gun. The person then aimed at Ven and shot the gun....
