Tristan and Matthew were brought by the Bermuda Gang inside an abandoned warehouse at the outskirt of the City of Empire.
This was a perfect place to do something illegal and no one would know. Tristan and Matthew were facing a serious problem right now.
Their hands were tied by rope. It would not be easy to fight several men without using their hands. The members of the Bermuda Gang looked bulky and strong. And they were outnumbered.
They wondered if there was a way to escape this troublesome situation they were in. Tristan and Matthew understood the danger and risk but they would try their best to negotiate with them.
Aside from that, the two men agreed that they would try to gather information with these men regarding the person behind this.
One man removed their blindfolds. Tristan and Matthew blinked their eyes, clearing their visions. They were still surrounded by members of the Bermuda Gang.
They frowned seeing the baseball bats they were holding in their hands. It looked like they were going to get beaten by these men.
"Who are you? Why did you bring us here? Did we offend your organization or something?" Tristan asked them.
"I think we can talk about this. Do you want money? We can give you cash. Just tell us the reason why you brought us here," He added, trying to negotiate with them.
The leader of the gang just laughed dryly after hearing Tristan's offer. They were the Bermuda Gang and they were loyal to their clients.
Even if Tristan would offer them a higher amount than the payment they received for this task, Bermuda Gang would never accept it. So there would be no more negotiation now.
"Wow, as expected to the CEO of the Heavenly Star Enterprise. Do you think you can buy our loyalty with money? No way!" the Gang Leader responded to him.
Of course, Tristan had no plan of giving them money. He just wanted to gather information about the mastermind. They might spill it accidentally if they continue talking.
Tristan wanted to punish these people and giving them money was not an option.
'Just you wait! Once we escape here safely then that will be the end of your gang,' Tristan thought to himself.
Tristan and Matthew were still calm. They were not afraid compared to before when Zhen-Zhen and Sophia were still with them. They thought the girls were already safe.
"Okay, if we can't buy your loyalty, at least tell us the reason we are here," Tristan asked him again.
As the leader of the gang and Tristan continued talking, Matthew was very silent, trying his best to loosen the rope that was restraining his hands. Tristan was buying him time.
When the gang leader heard that question again, he just chuckled before signaling his underlings to bring the camera. They would try to record what would happen to Tristan and Matthew in that warehouse.
This one was to show their clients that they accomplished their mission. John Bancroft was the one who talked to them.
But unknown to John, Mark and Daniel would just use him as a scapegoat if something wrong would happen in this mission.
The two cousins specifically asked the leader of this gang to make Tristan and Matthew beg for their life. With that, they suggested to the leader of the Bermuda Gang to record this. They would make this video as memorabilia.
"Honestly, you didn't offend our organization. This is just business. We received an order from a client and now we are here to fulfill the end of the deal."
Tristan smiled inwardly. Based on his answer, he just confirmed that someone was behind this.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Davis, but we are not allowed to disclose any information about our client. Just refresh your mind and think about the person who holds grudges against you. Maybe by doing that, you might find the answer you are looking for." The leader added, his voice filled with sarcasm.
Tristan just smirked at him. As of now, he couldn't think of someone who would do this to them.
"Oh, one more thing, Mr. Davis and Mr. Wilkins… please endure this. After we are done playing, we will make sure that you will still look handsome in the video while you are both begging on your knees."
After saying those words, the leader and his underlings laughed sardonically while giving Matthew and Tristan a mocking look.
Then the leader turned to his underlings, giving them command.
"Camera roll!"
"Okay men, let's begin the show. Beat them! Until they beg for their life! Hahaha!"
The ten men who were holding baseball bats started to charge in their direction. That was also the time Matthew succeeded in removing the rope in his hands.
Matthew protected Tristan against the first five attackers. The fight between them had finally begun. Two versus ten men. The Leader just watched them on the sideline together with the two men who were recording this.
Matthew and Tristan were watching each other's back. Tristan could only dodge and use his legs to defend and attack his opponents.
'Damn! My hands are still tied. It's so hard to fight like this.' Tristan lamented to himself.
Matthew had already removed his suit. He was the one receiving lots of hits just to protect Tristan. Though they were outnumbered, both Tristan and Matthew could still put up a fight against those men.
Several minutes had passed but the fight continued. Tristan and Matthew were already bathing with their own sweat and blood. The leader already joined them, beating Matthew and Tristan.
Matthew's and Tristan's bodies were now covered with bruises. They could barely stand now as their opponents targeted their legs.
Now, Mr. Davis and Mr. Wilkins, the only thing you have to do now is beg… beg now… and we will let them go. Oh, how about you both kiss my shoes! Hahahaha." The leader of the Bermuda Gang started mocking them.
But Tristan and Matthew refused to beg. They would not lower their pride for the likes of them.
"Boss, what should we do now? They don't want to beg. They refuse to listen." One man asked the leader, feeling impatient.
Then another man butted in. "Boss, if we continue beating them like this, they might end up dead. Our clients said that they are not allowed to die!"
The gang leader fell silent for a moment. He rubbed his chin while he was thinking. He had to thank his underlings for reminding him that. If not for him, then he would continue beating them.
Tristan and Matthew were in bad condition now. Their heads and mouths were already bleeding but they were still putting up a brave front. He hated it because they didn't want to eat their men's pride.
Their simple begging would solve this situation right away. They would be sent to the hospital right after. So why did they have to be so stubborn?
It did not take long when the gang leader remembered something. "Oh, right. I almost forgot. We also brought two special audiences here."
"Why don't we invite them in? Maybe once they see the audience, these two brave men here will start begging on their knees while kissing my shoes! Hahahahaha."
"That's right, boss! We forgot about them. Maye the ladies got bored just staying inside our van!"
Tristan and Matthew exchanged glances with one another. They had a bad feeling about this.
"Don't tell me you bring Sophia and Lillie here?!!" Matthew said through his gritted teeth. He tried to stand up but he couldn't. His legs already felt numb.
"Don't you dare touch them! I will kill you!" A cold glint flashed through Tristan's hazel eyes.
The thought of Zhen-Zhen being there right now made him furious. They thought they released them already.
One man was about to leave and get Sophia and Zhen-Zhen inside when suddenly they saw two people already standing at the entrance of the warehouse.
"Oh, they are here!" the man said in excitement.
Matthew: "Sophia..."
Tristan: "Wifey…"
Tristan and Matthew had complicated emotions right now after seeing the two ladies. They didn't want them to see them like that. They were covered by bruises and bleeding. They looked like sh*t right now.
Aside from that, they were worried about their safety.
After a while, the gang leader noticed something. "Eh, where are the two men who are watching over them? Don't tell me they let the girls go."
Only Sophia and Zhen-Zhen were standing there. Sophia gasped in horror after seeing the current state of Tristan and Matthew. They were beaten so badly.
"Oh, noh! What they have done to both of you…" Sophia had the urge to cry. But she was also furious right now.
But aside from Sophia, there was one person who didn't like what she was seeing right now. Zhen-Zhen was now emanating a dangerous aura around her.
Her hands were balled into fists while looking daggers at the men who were surrounding Tristan and Matthew.
"WHY? WHY? WHY. DID. YOU. HURT. THEM?"
Zhen-Zhen had finally lost it. Her blue eyes had already turned red… she was freaking mad right now.
