Chapter 185: MORON
The both of them walked till they entered Viper’s office. When they were both seated, viper called,
"Mamba, get the briefcase filled with the money and bring it here."
Instantly, Mamba arrived with the briefcase and left but not before glaring at Adrian as well. He had been in the business serving Viper for a very long time but Adrian suddenly came not quite long and took the position of the right-hand man. He detested him.
Viper opened the briefcase and loads of cash occupied the spaces in the briefcase.
"Guess who’d finally made his payment," Viper asked Adrian to guess.
"Who?"
"Mr Gonzales," Viper replied. Adrian held a frown on his face before he remembered that Mr Gonzales was the same man whose shoulder had been stabbed by Viper the day he’d been called by him to come to their hideout.
Staring at the fat money in the briefcase, Adrian wondered why the man would choose to go through that much torture all in the name of saving the money that he would still end up paying. The whole thing could have been avoided but he ended up choosing to be tortured first.
"That man is complicated. He could have just paid the money and his fingers and shoulders wouldn’t have to be stabbed," Adrian expressed his thoughts. As he stared at the cash, he felt he had missed his chance of getting a few amounts for himself.
"That’s not my problem," said Viper. He closed the briefcase and kept it aside before asking Adrian a question that had been on his mind for a long time. "I would like to ask you why you don’t care for your son?"
Staring at Viper with questionable eyes, "What do you mean boss?"
"It’s just something that I’ve noticed but ever since you had your ex-wife back, you rarely spent time with your son. You said that you wanted to spend some time with your son since you found out that he was your flesh and you only carry him once in a while," Viper expressed his thoughts.
Adrian contemplated for a while before he realized that it was true. He had been spending time thinking of how to make Erika fall in love with him. He regretted his actions but he didn’t feel too much guilt at all.
"I will think of something boss," he replied and they listed the number of people that were owing money and the ones that have paid.
In the middle of their conversation, a knock came on the door and Mamba opened the door for the people to walk inside.
Two grown men walked inside and quickly greeted Viper.
"What do you want?" Viper questioned them.
"Boss, we just lost all of our money and we are hoping you could lend us some," said one of the men.
Adrian could only sigh when he heard them. He wondered if the people in this place had gone dumb and couldn’t hold themselves back.
As expected, Viper agreed to lend them some money and added interest for when they will pay.
Outside the club, the brothers watched the club and when the sign said open, they got out of their car and walked inside.
The club was slightly full which made them wonder when those people had entered. Were they also VIPs who could go in and come out whenever they wanted?
Not knowing where to start, they simply looked around but couldn’t see Adrian or anything suspicious in the club. Common things like men drinking while ladies entertained them were the only thing they could see.
"Where should we start from?" Daniel asked Felix.
"I’m not sure," replied Felix.
After staring for a while and still couldn’t spot Adrian anywhere, they wondered if he’d already left but they didn’t see him leave the club.
Walking towards the bartender, Felix questioned him, "Do you know of any Adrian Hart that comes to the club daily."
From the way that they were dressed, the bartender could guess that they were rich but he couldn’t expose the names of any of the gambling members because they never know when a cop would arrive and find out about the illegal business.
"No sir, a lot of people come here every day and I don’t ask for their names," the bartender replied.
Both Daniel and Felix released a sigh before they both took a seat with an angle that could permit them to see almost everything that went on in the club, the brothers ordered a drink and monitored everyone with keen eyes.
After spending some more time in the club, they saw Adrian coming out from an elevator and headed towards the exits. Immediately, they also stood up from their seats and followed him.
Adrian got into the car that the same man wearing a red suit came out from and they realized that they could have arrived in the same car.
Quickly they got into their car as well and they followed him to wherever his location was.
"That bastard could be heading to where he has kept Erika," said Daniel.
"Possibly," said Felix.
After following Adrian for a while, taking a lot of turns, and making some unnecessary stops, they ended up losing him.
"Where did he go?" Daniel asked when they couldn’t see Adrian’s car on the street anymore.
"We have underestimated Adrian. He has suddenly become smart and he was able to detect a car following him," Felix remarked.
Adrian on the other hand released a triumphant laugh when he couldn’t find the car that was following him anymore.
"Whoever those people should try their luck next time," he said out loud. Due to Felix’s car which was also heavily tinted, he couldn’t see the people inside but he could already guess who was following. "I need to go back and see my Erika," he added and drove off.
He arrived at the mansion and called for the maid to call Erika for him but after a second thought, he decided to go see her himself.
When he got to her room, she was still awake.
"Erika sweety, have you had dinner yet?" He asked her sweetly. As much as she wanted to pretend to still be in love with Adrian, his presence alone made her want to puke.
