292 Rainborite ore’s disappearance
“Calm down and talk to me, what did you say happened?” the old man frowned. He had no idea what his children had done. 1 This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Rex stood up and turned to leave. Why would he stay back to continue feeling uncomfortable in the presence of this old man that refused to die when his mates are already below his seat?
“Wait, you should drink some tea,” the old man said.
Rex didn’t look back and started walking away.
This old man is mad!‘ thought Rex.
Drink some tea from a notorious family? Over his dead body. Seating with the old man alone stirred his heart, especially when their eyes met.
It felt like the man was draining his blood. Rumor within their circle has it that one of the ancestors of the Feng family was a sorcerer and left her powers in an object in the family’s shrine.
Some said that Old Man Feng was able to gain enlightenment and became the family’s sorcerer which was why he got blind and his eyes turned white. Others said it was just a coincidence that the man was blind and still has white eyes.
Whatever the people say is not Rex’s problem. His problem and that of everyone else’s who knows the Feng family is:
How could a blind man see?
In a desert…
A few black cars were seen speeding through the desert and in no time, they stopped a few meters away from a huge dark cave–like structure.
Maverick got down from the car and strode towards the cave–like structure in large strides.
In front of the entrance were Maverick’s men, lined up to receive their boss.
“Welcome, boss,” they all bowed in greetings, but Maverick ignored them and strode in.
Inside the dimly lit dark mine that was supposed to be brightened by the rainborite ore, Maverick stood there, with his hands tucked in his pocket as he gazed around the huge hole on the wall- where the rainborite ore was supposed to be.
With his eyes fixed on the huge hole, he asked, “What happened?” his voice wasn’t loud but it sent chills down their spines.
One of the men who were stationed around the cave stepped forward and knelt on one knee beside Maverick while reporting.
“We were raided. After the fight, we found that the mine had disappeared.”
“How was the location found?” Code 10 frowned.
The head guard stayed silent for a few moments before speaking up, “I sent a few men to the town to
get us something, but they failed to watch their backs and they were traced here.”
“By who?” Code 2 asked.
“They wore masks and we couldn’t find anything on those we killed or injured. We tried to force the injured ones to talk but they committed suicide,” the headguard reported.
“How many casualties?” Maverick asked.
“Twenty men died and fifteen were injured. I’ve sent them to the facility,” the head guard replied.
“Where are the enemies‘ corpses?” Code 10 asked again.
“They are at the facility,” the head guard replied.
Maverick turned around and walked out of the mine, heading to the facility.
Inside the facility…
Maverick strode into different sections that were divided by curtains to see the injured men.
Examining them, he noticed the assaulters used blades instead of guns. The assaulters must have known that using guns would mean that their identity would be exposed, thanks to their bullets.
If they had used bullets, it would have been easy for Maverick to trace them.
With this move, it means this person is scheming, however, being scheming doesn’t mean Maverick still won’t be able to find out who these people were. It might only take some time.
Maverick watched for a while as his men were getting their injuries stitched before leaving to see the dead ones in the morgue.
Inside the morgue were the dead enemies and his men. The dead enemies had pure white faces and their eyes were bulging out. Their lips too were white and had cracks on them.
“What type of poison were they given?” Code 10 asked with a frown. He had never seen this type of poison where the person’s eyes and mouth turned pure white.
“We just sent a sample of their blood to our hospital in the city.” the doctor in charge replied.
The doctor is one of Maverick’s people and when he meant ‘our hospital, he was referring to Maverick’s hospital.
“Send one of them to Matt,” Maverick instructed before looking around one more time.
Oldest brother Feng was in his new location when he received a call from his grandfather.
He answered the call and the next thing he heard was the old man’s thunderous roar.
“Bring that lady back to her family, this instant!!”
Oldest brother Feng frowned. He told his brothers to keep this matter a secret. No one but Feng Long would open his mouth.
Thinking of that, rage built up in his heart as he took the phone off his ear.
His mind flashed back to what Brian told him inside the sub–basement:
| “Only an insecure weakling uses their fist at every altercation. It’s a shame you’re the senior son of the Feng family, no wonder the family prefers Feng Long. He is calm and collected. At the same time, calculating and would probably be the head Hahahaha..“)
Those words, “It’s a shame you’re the senior son of the Feng family, no wonder the family prefers Feng Long. He is calm and collected At the same time, calculating and would probably be the head.” rang a couple of time in Oldest brother Feng’s mind with his fist clenching and teeth grinding.
He didn’t do all he had done in the past, he didn’t sacrifice so much for the family just for a little half brother like Feng Long to steal his position. He is never going to be alive and watch that boy rule
over him, never‘
Teng Long. I warned you to keep this a secret,” this sacrifice was very crucial to his position in the organization
To the others, he wanted to kill Piper because of her mother but only he knew that he wanted to sacrifice Piper because of her unique blood.
