"Stop!" Arlan said as he leaned on his chair.
The soldiers immediately stopped beating the two after hearing his command.
"Mr. President, do you know what happened to Donnyl?" Arlan crossed his legs.
The president didn't say anything and just looked at him in fear. He felt that the person in front of him wasn't afraid of the law. He was terrified just thinking about that.
"We smeared his body with honey and we watched as thousands of ants slowly bit off his flesh! That guy is quite tenacious so I believe that he is still alive right now..." Arlan laughed while telling them this.
Ken and the president felt a chill in their spine when they heard this. They couldn't imagine what kind of suffering Donnyl was going through at this moment.
"M-Mr. Roa! P-Please spare me! I know m-my mistakes! I will c-confess my crimes to the p-police! I beg you! Just d-don't kill me!" President Maracas didn't want to go through the ordeal that Donnyl had been subjected to. Just the thought of it made him shake in fear.
"That's not up to you, Mr. President. You see, I already prepared the tools to end your life. Show it to him." Arlan smiled evilly.
The soldiers behind him dragged a wooden casket and placed it in front of the president.
"W-What are you planning to do?! Please don't kill me! Please spare me! Ahhhh!!!" The president broke down into tears when he saw the coffin.
"According to the information we gathered, you love burying your enemies alive so I thought, what if I let him experience the same? Sounds good, right? I also placed a little camera inside the coffin because I wanted to see how you struggle. Hahaha!" Arlan's laughter sounded like the devil's voice.
"Ahhhhhh!!!! Helpppp!!!" The president screamed like a pig on slaughter and tried to break free, but the constant movement only caused him to suffer a burning sensation.
Arlan frowned when he saw the president acting like this. "Make him shut up." He said to the soldier standing beside him.
"Yes, boss." The soldier nodded his head. He then walked towards the president and pasted a duct tape into his mouth.
Ken stared at the gun strapped on the soldier's leg. Numerous thoughts flashed in his mind, but a voice suddenly drifted into his ears. "Are you planning to grab his gun? I know that the rope in your arms is slowly loosening, but do you think my soldiers didn't notice anything?"
Ken flinched when he heard Arlan's words. He then noticed that the soldiers were looking at him with mocking smiles.
"Kill me!" He muttered coldly.
Arlan smiled at Ken and said. "No wonder Conrad said that you are an interesting fellow. Don't worry. You haven't done anything wrong. We investigated everyone around the president and we know that most of his new security personnel are clean. That's also why I commanded my men not to kill your subordinates."
"You mean my subordinates are still alive? Where are they?" Ken's expression brightened upon hearing this. His men were good people and he didn't want them to die.
"That's right, but you have to wait if you want to see them." Arlan nodded his head. "For now, you should follow us and watch the president suffer in his own game. What do you think?"
Ken hesitated for a moment. He stared at Arlan and then towards the president who was furiously shaking his head. After a moment of thought, Ken nodded his head. "Alright..."
"Good!" Arlan clapped his hands. "Let's go!" He stood up and left the chamber together with Conrad. The other soldiers followed him, while a few soldiers grabbed the three hostages.
***
It was already evening and Arlan brought them to a faraway mountain with no one in sight.
Ken saw a group of soldiers digging through the earth. The pit they dug was about ten feet deep.
Arlan squatted in front of the president and asked in a playful voice. "Mr. President, do you like your final resting spot?"
"Mmnnnn!!!! Mmnnn!!' Errrgggghh!!!" The president cried while furiously shaking his head.
"Everyone in the country will see your final moments. Don't worry." Arlan chuckled. "Put him inside the coffin." He said to the soldiers.
At this moment, the president's wife was already awake, but she didn't dare say anything. She was afraid that these people would do the same to her if she complained. She just watched as the soldiers put her struggling husband inside the coffin. The scene made her feel horrified.
The soldiers removed the tape on the president's face.
"Heeelllppp!!! Don't kill me!!!! Ahhhh!!!"
The soldiers ignored the president's screams and closed the lid of the coffin. They then slowly lowered it into the pit.
"Is it live on TV now?" Ken heard Arlan asking this to the soldiers.
"Yes, boss. It's now live on TV." A soldier replied while showing him a livestream of the situation inside the coffin.
"Winter, make sure that he won't speak our names." Arlan communicated with Winter over the communication device.
"You don't need to remind me. The live broadcast is delayed for ten seconds, I will mute his words if he says anything about us." Winter replied in a cold voice.
"That's good." Arlan smiled as he turned his gaze towards the live broadcast. He could see what the president was doing inside the coffin. He could also hear his frightened screams.
***
Once again, the citizens of Maharlika were shocked when they saw a live broadcast of the president being buried alive.
The government and the authorities were alerted by the news. They tried to track the whereabouts of the president, but they didn't find any traces of him.
Inside the Taguig City Police Station, Zenny watched the live broadcast with a hesitant expression on her face. She knew the culprit of this incident, but she didn't want to get involved in it. 'Arlan, I will pretend that I don't know about your involvement in this matter.' She muttered in her heart.
