THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 51 – 60
BY SIR ZACH
CHAPTER 56
At the underground parking lot, Reuben was just driving out when Maverick’s car drove in. They missed each other at the entrance. No one saw the other.
He pulled up at the space that Reuben created, got out of the car and entered the massive and luxurious hotel. He didn’t need to introduce himself before one of the staff at the reception respectfully walked him to the banquet hall, where the party was taking place.
As the staff was about to pull the doors open, Maverick grabbed the pull handle and shut his eyes for a moment to envision what his wife’s reaction might be. Obviously, he was nervous.
He let go of the door and allowed the staff to pull it open.
As the door slightly opened, what greeted them was bodies thrashing and sprawling on the floor.
“Bang!”
Maverick suddenly pulled the stupefied lady out of the way, just in time to invade the bullet flying towards them. As the bullet flew past, it hit another staff member who was coming out of one of the rooms lined on the passageway.
“Ahh!!”
The lady with Maverick was caught off guard when she was pulled and fell into Maverick’s embrace with a cry.
Maverick narrowed his eyes and pushed her off him before he grabbed her hand and ran into the hotel room the dead staff member came out from.
Not up to thirty seconds later, some men rushed out with guns.
“Where did she go…?” the person stopped talking when they saw the dead body of a female staff member on the floor.
Two of the men went to check on the body. They turned the girl over and saw the bullet hole in her chest.
“She’s dead.” One of the men said.
“Carry her into the hall to avoid suspicion. The rest of you, get someone to clean the blood,” one of them ordered.
Maverick who was standing behind the door watched everything that was happening from the pinhole on the door and after the men left, he walked back to the room.
The room had two couples on the bed. The woman was dragging the sheets to cover her chest while also trying to hide her face from Maverick.
Unfortunately, her face had been seen but that has nothing to do with the man who was exuding killing intent.
“What are the routes to get in there?” Maverick asked the staff member.
“Maverick! How dare you barge in on us?! Get out right–” The young man’s words got stuck in his throat when he saw the deadly gaze staring at him.
Maverick ignored them and turned to the staff member. He didn’t know who they were and also, he knew he was wrong for barging in on them, so he didn’t get angry over the disrespectful way the youngster spoke to him.
She immediately started speaking when those chilling gaze met hers. “The banquet hall has an emergency door that leads to another exit at the back of the building.”
“Take me there,” Maverick instructed and the staff member nodded.
However, getting to the door, Maverick could faintly hear footfalls stomping around. When he looked through the pinhole, he saw men parading the passageway. He gritted his teeth and went back into the room.
This is more serious than he thought.
He pulled out his phone and gave Rex a call but his number was unreachable. He called Code 2 but he wouldn’t pick up either. Code 10, the same thing. Maverick immediately knew something was wrong, so he called Pink.
While he was talking on the phone, he caught sight of the window and a thought crossed his mind. Maverick pulled the curtains in the room together, yet they were not enough to get them down from the last floor of the ten-story building. He looked around the room and his eyes zoomed in on the bed sheet.
He walked up to them on the bed and was about to drag the sheets from them when the man raised his voice.
“Don’t you dare touch the sheets, else I’ll tell them you’re here!!”
Maverick paused and looked at the man, then the corner of his lips stretched into a smirk, “I dare you.”
“Don’t think I’m scared of you! The living ancestors already passed judgment on you. You are no longer a part of the Lu family and you can’t use the Lu family’s name anymore! Grandfather had wanted to make the announcement but was distracted by important things, so you should know how you talk to me!!”
Madam Lu had been pinching him and giving him signs to not provoke Maverick, but the young and impulsive guy wouldn’t listen. How could this idiot anger someone who can expose their secret to the world? Why did she even let this boy’s charms get into her head? If the family finds out she is cheating with her nephew-in-law, she’d be done for!
Maverick was baffled by this guy’s words. To be fair, he had no idea who these two were until he mentioned the Lu family. At that moment when he was staring at the Young man with incredulity like he would unleash his anger on him any moment from now, the woman went on her knees and started begging. Meanwhile, the staff member was in a corner, feeling shame on behalf of the cheating duo.
“Cousin-in-law, I’m very sorry, please don’t tell my husband! I know I’m doing wrong by cheating on him with his nephew. Please forgive me, I didn’t mean to! I didn’t know what came over me! Please!”
“What are you doing?!” The guy yelled.
“Oh,” Maverick finally understood what was going on. Still, what they do with their lives has nothing to do with him, so he dragged the sheets off their body, exposing their shamelessness and went to tie it together with the rest, forming a long rope. Although it still wasn’t enough, he could manage to fall from the second floor.
He first got down using the rope he made, before the staff member followed. When Maverick got down safely, he waited to catch the lady from hitting the floor.
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 51 – 60
Finally, they are out of the hotel. The staff lady went to alert security, who in turn went to report to the management. Unfortunately, the hotel management did nothing, but was rather in search of the staff member who spread the matter.
By now, the staff member had reached the emergency entrance with Maverick behind her.
“Luckily, I have the keys.” She murmured and opened the door to allow Maverick in before she followed.
As they walked through the dark path, the lady tried to strike a conversation with Maverick several times.
“Umm…Mr. Maverick, thank you for saving me. I would have died if you hadn’t pulled me out of the way.”
“…”
“I– I didn’t mean to hug you, I was frightened and didn’t know what to do.”
“…”
“I promise, I’ll keep my mouth shut about your relative’s affairs. I won’t say a thing and though–”
“Do you have evidence of their cheating?” Maverick finally spoke.
The lady was caught off guard. She didn’t know he’d reply her.
“Y–Yes, I do. They come here every time, so their information is–”
“Get your hands on destructive evidence on their affairs and post it. You’ll get a million dollars for a good job.”
The lady was so excited like she had seen heaven. Maverick, on the other hand, didn’t utter another word until he arrived at the spot.
“You are not coming with me. Explain the route and leave.”
The lady nodded. No matter how much she finds this man hot, she didn’t want to go into the hall with him. She still loves her life, so she started to explain.
“After leaving through this door, you’ll arrive at the restroom area. From there, take the straight road ahead and you’ll arrive at the hall.”
Maverick pulled out his gun and cracked it before going in through the door. The other side of the door was the men’s restroom. Once he entered the restroom, he saw one of the men in Xu’s uniform having sex with a waitress… Rather, he was forcing himself on the lady who looked tired and worn out from screaming.
Her tired eyes were looking in his direction but when they caught sight of him, they widened slightly and she moved her hand, probably trying to seek help.
Maverick could hear people laughing and talking from outside the door, making jest of what seemed to be happening in front of him.
The rapist was too carried away by his activity to notice the grim reaper walking towards him.
As the rapist raised his head to look at the ceiling from the ecstasy, Maverick ruthlessly sent a hard blow to his cricoid cartilage.
The rapist immediately spat out blood. His limp body was about to fall on the lady when Maverick mercilessly kicked him off, sending him falling against the sink stand.
“Careful! Don’t waste her yet! We also want to go a round. Hahahaha…!” one of the guys from outside the door said when they heard a loud bang!
Maverick helped the lady up. She was naked and her legs were shaking. He looked around and saw that her dress was torn. He took off the Xu uniform from the rapist and gave it to the lady, but she refused to have anything to do with it.
When the cloth was given to her, she whimpered and hugged herself tightly. That was when it occurred to Maverick that she was traumatized. Left with no other choice, he took off his black shirt and wore it for her before carrying her in his arms to leave the restroom.
If it was some years ago, Maverick would only kill the rapist and leave the lady to fend for herself, but now, he has a wife and sisters, so he knew that, at a time like this, ladies needed nothing but a simple act of kindness, else they might commit suicide.
Getting to the door, he let the lady rest on the wall before gently opening the door to see how many guards were there. Luckily, there were only two– one wearing a face cap and smoking.
Maverick didn’t want to use his gun because it had no silencer. Since he has no idea how many men were inside and around the hall, it would be best for him to be cautious.
So he rushed out and held the nearest one in a chokehold and mercilessly kicked the face cap guy across the passageway before he applied pressure on his arm and broke his victim’s neck.
The one he kicked was just struggling to stand up when Maverick approached him and held his head before forcefully cracking his neck.
He dragged the two bodies into the restroom and wore their uniform. The raped lady started panicking when she saw Maverick wearing the same uniform.
“Hey! Listen!” He yelled. It was already bad enough that he had to show mercy and waste time when he had no idea how his family was doing inside that hall. He wasn’t in for cuddling anyone right now!
“I have no interest in your body. Better snap out of it and follow me!”
The lady slowly nodded and relaxed. Maverick carried her once more in his arms as he made his way out of the restroom.
Along the passage, he’d come across one or two men, either walking around or gossiping. Those he could kill, he sent them to hell. Those it wasn’t convenient to kill, he walked by.
As Maverick was walking by a door, he heard some people talking, so he paused.
“Why is the new master wasting time? We have them all under our control. Why not kill them all and get this over with?” the skinniest guy said, a little annoyed.
“It’s not as easy as you think. Before killing Damien, he has to receive a call from our brothers that the Yu faction has been defeated.”
“I see no point in that. Kill the leader and the members will be running like headless chickens. At least, that’s what my idol, Alpha Chaos would have done!” the skinniest guy snorted.
“That would have been possible if the Lu faction didn’t get involved!”
“What?! The Lu faction?!” the skinniest guy was alarmed.
The fattest guy nodded. “The new master received a call some time ago that the Lu faction had gone to rescue the Yu faction.”
“That’s bad!”
“Not really. It’s a good thing according to the new master.” The fattest guy objected.
“How so?”
The fattest guy lowered his voice, “I heard the new master say that he’d use Alpha Chaos’ son as collateral for our safety if things go south.”
“Has he gone out of his mind?! How dare he try to use my idol’s son?! Why the f*ck did Alpha Chaos–” the skinniest guy didn’t get to finish before a voice interrupted him, sending them into a frenzy.
“And you think he’d do that for you?” The door burst open and Maverick walked in. They were in the female restroom.
The four guys were startled but when they saw it was one of them, they breathed out.
“What do you mean?” one of them asked.
Maverick ignored them and went to the sink to wash his hands. While doing so, he was monitoring them from the mirror in front of him and by accident, he caught sight of the silent pistol one of the men placed beside him on the sink.
Maverick raised himself and pulled a tissue to wipe his hands before saying slowly and uninterestedly.
“Alpha Chaos is not one to be messed with.”
“Right? I’ve always liked that man and was planning to come to Country M to pledge allegiance to him, but unfortunately, he’s dead and I ended up getting trapped as the Xu family’s men. If only it was the Lu faction that conquered our gang.” the skinniest guy sighed with regret and anger in his tone.
The others were frightened and tried to shut him up but the guy was too emotional to listen.
Maverick leaned against the sink and lowered his cap. “You hate your master too?”
“Yes! I hate him so much… But wait, you hate him too?” The other three guards were already looking on with dread. They had no idea who this guy with a face cap was. What if he’s one of Davis’ most trusted?
“I don’t hate him…” Just after Maverick’s voice fell, the four guys took a fighting stance and pointed their guns at Maverick. But he wasn’t done talking.
“… I don’t hate people.” He slowly took his cap off. “I kill whoever annoys me.”
The four guys widened their eyes in horror. Alpha Chaos! Their hands shook as the guns fell from their holds.
“D– didn’t you die? Th– they said you were dead!” The guy stammered all through.
Maverick didn’t answer that and rather walked up to them in steady but slow steps. He bent and picked up the silent pistol.
“They assumed… Too bad,” he looked at the four and gestured with the gun for them to get up and asked. “What is the situation in the hall?”
“Mr. Davis poisoned the drinks that were served and everyone is lying powerless on the floor. He had killed a lot of people, saying that if Mr. Damien manages to survive today, he’d have a lot of powerful people to contend with.”
“What is the state of my wife and son?”
“Your wife?” the guy shook his head. “We didn’t see your wife in the crowd. But your son was not poisoned. He is held hostage by Mr. Davis.”
Maverick narrowed his eyes as his aura flared. “How many men are there?”
“Around a hundred.”
“Where exactly is Davis?” Maverick asked.
“He is in the hall, together with everyone.”
At that moment, Maverick’s phone vibrated in his pocket. He fetched it and saw it was a message from Pink.
[ They are outside the hotel. What next? ]
Maverick typed, ‘Send them in. Kill any threat along the way. Destination, banquet hall.’
He kept his phone away and started walking towards the door, but paused when he saw a silver-looking object sticking out of the ending of the cubicle door. He walked over, bent and pulled it out. Behold! It was his wife’s purse!
