THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 61 – 70
BY SIR ZACH
CHAPTER 64
Meanwhile, at the mystery forest, Damien, Randy, and another guard were able to make it out of the forest. The rest of the men were feasted on by wild animals. But that didn’t mean that those who survived didn’t do so without severe injuries.
Damien was stabbed in the side of his stomach by a horn, Randy got lots of bruises, and the other guy was blinded in one eye with a few cracked bones.
Sitting under a tree while overlooking Reuben’s villa that was a few meters away, which was illuminated by security lights, Randy voiced out.
“We are finally out. Now, how do we fight in this condition?”
Damien, who was frowning from the severe pain in his rib, replied through gritted teeth.
“Who said we are fighting?”
“Then why are we here?” Randy couldn’t believe it. Did they risk their lives for sight–seeing?!
“His wife got kidnapped at my party and the bastard must be thinking I’m incompetent. So, we came here simply to find Reuben’s hideout and get Maverick to fight his own battle. Why else did you think I came here?”
“Wow. Master, you’ll never change. We could have easily told him where the hideout is without sacrificing our own men.”
“What other way do you think is best to get rid of disloyal subjects? They had the effrontery to give my enemies information about the party!”
Randy didn’t speak further. He thought Damien had become less evil after not seeing daylight for two months plus.
“And this one?” Randy glanced at the last guard while taking off his blue shirt to tie Damien’s wound.
The guard who was looking frightened, stared dumbly at his master with his heart in his throat. He hoped that Damien wouldn’t find out he was one of those who betrayed him.
“He has two options. Either he chooses to protect me with his life, or return to the forest and get devoured. The choice is his.”
“Master, please, forgive me, I’m sorry! I didn’t know what came over me!” The guard knelt down and started begging fervently for his life.
The five of them were paid by Davis to make things easy for them to enter the party. They thought that Damien wouldn’t find out, but unfortunately, he did. He brought the five of them to the forest and let them be devoured by beasts, except him that thought he was lucky enough to survive with one eye. If he had known that this would happen, he would have allowed himself to be killed by those animals!
“Randy, get the phone and call Maverick.” Damien ignored the guard.
Seeing this, the guard stood up and attempted to run. Damien can’t chase him, neither can Randy because both of them are severely injured.
Randy glanced and clicked his tongue “Where do you think you’ll find shelter?” he snorted and dug his hand into his pocket to fetch the phone but touched an empty pocket.
The guard thought back to the experience at the forest and shook his head, then he made up his mind and started running towards Reuben’s villa.
Randy was about to stop him but Damien waved his hand.
“Let him go.”
“But he’d tell your brother we are here!”
“Reuben is paranoid right now. He won’t allow him near… Argh!” He covered his bleeding wound.
“Boss, you are losing a lot of blood. I think we should go to your brother, there are doctors–”
“Stop talking… call Maverick,” Damien gritted his teeth to suppress the pain.
Randy was worried for him and at the same time, was at a loss for what to do.
“The phone is missing,” he said softly.
“You piece of shit!” Damien hissed. It was already dark, how are they supposed to get Maverick here without a phone? Secondly, without Maverick coming here today, they’d be dead for sure.
Glancing back at the forest surrounding them to, Randy couldn’t stop wondering how Reuben was living well without any of the animals attacking him.
“Find a way to get Maverick here. I’m not ready to die,” Damien gripped Randy’s hand tightly as he dressed his wound.
“Bang, bang!!”
Two gunshots were heard from Reuben’s home.
“That bastard has a gun,” Damien frowned deeply from the agonizing pain.
No matter what Randy did to stop the bleeding, nothing worked. Anxiety was killing him, but there was nothing he could do. The guy refused to watch Damien die, so he made up his mind.
“Master, I’m sorry, I have to take you to him. I’m sure he won’t kill you because you’re very weak.”
Without waiting for Damien to object, he carried him on his back and started hurrying towards the villa.
“Didn’t you hear gun shots? He has a freaking gun!”
“Thanks to you, we wasted all our bullets killing animals. Why didn’t you just shoot the betrayers? Now see, you’ve tasted your own medicine.”
“Are you mocking me? Randy, if I die because of you… my ghost won’t let you live in peace.” He said weakly while his eyes were losing focus.
“Your ghost doesn’t have to torment me. If you die here today, I’ll come with you. In our next life, if there is one, I’ll be your Master and will take revenge for all you’ve done to me.”
“Haha, cough, cough!”
“Master, please hold on tightly, we are almost there, don’t die on me, I won’t forgive you!” Randy hastened his steps as worry and fear laced his face.
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 61 – 70
After about twenty minutes of hasting down the road, Randy finally saw the dead body of the guard that was killed.
Just after he hurried past the dead body, he hit a transparent barrier.
“Shit!” He cried out.
“Wh–what?”
“I think there’s a barrier.”
“No wonder–”
No wonder the beast hasn’t torn him apart yet.
“Bang! Bang!!”
Gunshots came from nowhere. The first one hit Randy on the shoulder but he managed to dodge the other by coincidence.
Inside the Villa, Reuben was watching what was going on outside on his laptop.
“Well, well, well, look who we have here.” He chuckled before pressing a button, then started speaking into a small speaker he attached to the laptop.
“What brings you to seek death?!”
His voice came out as loudly as it could be.
“Greetings, My master’s chopper malfunctioned and we had no choice but to land but had no idea we would come in contact with beasts. My master was wounded and we coincidentally found this place. Please, render us help and my master won’t forget the favor!”
“Hm, you learned well!!”
“Please, benefactor save my master!”
Randy wanted to pretend as if they were just strangers who needed help. At least it would be better if Reuben didn’t think that they tracked his chopper here.
“Alright. On one condition. Only one person gets to enter and the other person’s life will be the payment. Who would that be?”
Randy frowned. He looked at the building and then looked at his dying master, then gritted his teeth while his knuckles turned white from his clenched fist.
“Fine, my master will enter.” He slowly shut his eyes and spread his arms to welcome all the bullets.
“Randy, I don’t– permit you to die!” Damien said through haggard breathing. He couldn’t open his eyes clearly but he heard everything.
“Master, you must be well. Madam is awaiting your return.” Randy said without opening his eyes.
“That, that bastard is only, is only playing, playing– argh!”
He hurried back to Damien and made him lean on him. “Please, stop talking!”
“Aw, what a loving relationship. It’s been ages since I last saw this play. You know what, continue. I want to watch.”
“Reuben!!!!!” Randy roared. “You bastard! If Damien dies, I will make sure you–”
“Hm, this is very entertaining. Go ahead and scream your lungs out. Hahaha!”
At that moment, the sound of a chopper was heard. Uncertain who was inside the chopper, Randy looked up, while Reuben was observing it from his laptop.
The chopper lowered itself above house level. The people in it threw down ropes to climb down with.
Seeing they were Maverick’s people, Reuben’s lips stretched into a villainous smile.
“You found me,” he said and started typing away on the laptop. In less than two minutes, he launched a small missile. The dome parted for the missile to fly past before closing back.
It took less than a minute before the chopper was blown into smithereens.
“Bullseyes!”
Reuben chuckled like a maniac as the chopper exploded.
Just when he was preparing to launch another attack at the second chopper that had gotten into sight, his laptop was interrupted and a video of a dark cell sprung out.
Reuben froze when he saw the image of his favourite old man getting electrocuted, while his most beloved cousin was hung on a ceiling fan!
The fan was rolling at its lowest speed!
“F*ck you, Maverick!!!” He roared.
He had never made it known that he loved anyone because he didn’t want anyone to start using that against him. How the heck did Maverick know about them? Even Damien had no idea that he had a soft spot for those people.
The video changed to reveal Maverick’s face. “Open the dome and they live.”
Reuben smiled, “Dream on!”
The video changed to the cell again. Right under Reuben’s eyes, the old man died in the electrocution chair and the fan’s speed was increased.
As the fan rolled, the girl, whose hands were tied to it, also rolled along with it. Her scream was so piercing that Reuben closed the laptop.
After a few minutes, he opened the laptop again to see the same scene.
“Maverick! You monster, take her down right now!!”
Maverick’s face appeared on the screen again but this time he didn’t speak. What he wanted for her freedom was alreafy communicated, so he had no time to waste repeating himself.
Reuben, who was fuming with rage, started typing on the laptop and a few moments later, the dome was deactivated.
Once that happened, Randy immediately took Damien in.
As for Maverick, his chopper slowly appeared. While the chopper was descending, the video of Reuben’s cousin was still playing.
“Haven’t I done what you wanted? Take her down!”
No matter how many times Reuben yelled, Maverick didn’t take the girl down until his chopper landed safely.
Code 2, 5, 10, and Yellow got out of the chopper before Maverick did.
The man in his full glory took dominant steps without haste as he moved in one direction— the entrance.
The others followed behind in silence, but the deadly aura surrounding them would make one pee on themselves out of fear.
Randy immediately carried his master who had long lost consciousness and started following behind the crew.
Maverick stepped into the house and met Reuben sitting by his bar and drinking with his laptop beside him. He looked calm and collected, like he wasn’t the one losing control a while ago.
“Go look for her,” Maverick instructed.
Yellow bowed and diverted from the crew.
“I didn’t give you permission to explore my house.” Reuben moved his gaze to Yellow. With his index finger, he gestured for her to return to the line.
However, Yellow ignored him and continued moving forward.
“Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
The next minute, a loud gunshot was heard.
“Bang!”
Yellow missed the opportunity to dodge the bullet, so it hit her on the thigh.
“Ahh!” She bent over to hold her thigh while Code 5 and Code 10 went to bring her back to the crew.
“I warned you,” Reuben paused to drink from his glass and slammed it down before he continued.
“Maverick, oh Maverick, how stupid could you be to come down here? Did you think I wouldn’t prepare something for you?”
Just when he said that, one of the doors opened and huge men, around thirty of them, ran out with guns pointed at Maverick and the others.
“Well, it seems I should leave you all here. My pregnant fiance needs me… meanwhile, there’s no escape for any of you. The barrier has been activated now.” He smiled, got up and left.
Before leaving, he instructed, “Finish them!”
