chapter 62

***
Flying Dragon poured a half of cold bottle water on Fred's face and he woke up. He almost screamed when he saw Miss Lola's condition, but he has seen more in his life to make a fuss about this one, just that he pities the girl and he feels guilty for putting her in that condition.
Mr Smith brought his face closer to Fred's to mock him, but the arrogant young man spat on his face.
"You animal!" Mr Smith howled and struck Fred on his head.
"Why don't you go on and kill me! I dare you to do that!!" Fred screamed. He was tied to a chair, so he rocked the chair around like an angry lion.
"This man doesn't understand, someone help me teach him how to be humble and respect his elders!" Mr Smith said and gave room for Lee to hit Fred.
Lee lifted the iron cane he has been heating on the fire, it was all red colored and spared only the handle that he held it. He flogged Fred with it on his bare back and made sure each of the flogs ripped off his skin.
"Aaaaaaahhhh!" Fred cried whenever the twine touched his body.
Lee didn't stop until he was ordered to by Mr Smith and that came after twelve lash of the cane on his body.
Fred thought he was going to die immediately, he even wished for death because the pains were unbearable, but he remembered that he made a promise to Angelina.
He wasn't able to look up at his enemy again as if he is the sinner, blood oozed out of his mouth and nose.
What came into his mind at that very moment was Angelina and his kids. Fate wanted to have mercy on him when he tried starting all over again to make sure he stays with his family, but what did he do?
He pushed Angelina's happinnes aside and threw away everything they have shared for years and even his adorable children to fight on a case that doesn't concern him in anyway! Isn't he an asshole?
"I'm a scum bag, please, forgive me, Angela" he muttered.
"Tell me, who sent you? Why are you digging an already closed and forgotten case? Why? Talk to me now or I will peel off your skin bit by bit and give you to eat!" Mr Smith barked.
"What are you waiting for? Cut off my head and do whatever you want with me, but you will never get any information from me! I have already sent screenshots of the documents to all the American attorneys I know and you know there's no way you will get to all of them and stop them from spreading the news until you get caught except by me. It is useless killing me, you know that," Fred laughed.
Well, that is a good lie, an act of deception to get the man at seat's edge and know if he will be spared, but the truth will still surface because he had dropped by his friend's house and left his briefcase at his place before coming to the hotel.
He has spied many criminals and dug many dangerous or scandalous cases for a greater part of his life to know what to do and say at times like this. He only hopes this tactic works for him because he can't can't bear to see Angelina hurt.
She will probably die if the news of his demise is broken to her and she will find it really hard to try and convince their kids that Daddy is not coming back ever again.
"You think so? Flying Dragon, plug the electric iron to heat. Lee, take him to the tank, now!" Mr Smith commanded and his men set to work immediately.
Flying Dragon got busy with heating the electric iron and fixing other cables that will be used to torture the man and force the truth out of his mouth.
Lee untied him from the chair and tied only his hands to his back and dragged him to the tank full of stinky water at a farther end of the enormous storage room.
"Let us see how long you will last, Mr. Frederick! Dip!!" He mocked and ordered Lee to dip Fred's head into the tank full of stinky water.
Lee pushed Fred's head into the water and held him still as he struggled to get away. Flying Dragon had to come help pin him down when he almost pushed Lee off him.
"Release!" Mr. Smith said after thirty minutes. "Are you willing to talk or suffer because of a piece of information that doesn't have anything to do with you?!" He demanded.
"Go to hell! F?ck you!!" Fred grasped.

Franko and Greg exchanged looks as they watched Molly and her friends coming into the school premises. They stayed together last night after listening to their friend confess his feelings for Molly and planned how to humiliate the girl to show Tyler that she is no match for him.
They even followed Tyler last night as he drove around like a homeless person, he ended up stopping right in front of Molly's house and kept staring at her window even though there was no sign that the girl is still awake.
They went online too to search for a better way to deal with the girl and they found just enough to feed her for a day and make her weep for the rest of her life that she won't even think about accepting any rich guy especially their own best friend if he eventually proposes relationship to her.
They stood up immediately and walked towards the three girls who are chanting like mockingbirds as they joined other students to class that early morning.
"Hello, Miss taxi driver's daughter" Franko smirked and blocked their path.
They need not make more noise before creating a big scene so that little attitude drew as much attention as possible.
That was a slap on Molly's face, but so many people already knows that her father is a taxi driver, but they feed well and he even sent her to this expensive school with the help of her older siblings who are working and supporting them, so she simply turned to leave through another entrance, but Greg came to stand right before her.
"What do you guys want from me this early morning? I have already quit�� yeah, I understand I am no match for you guys so I don't want to fight with anyone again even when you guys look for my trouble, what exactly do you two want now?" Molly said trying hard not to sound rude, she really doesn't want to get angry and fight back.
