Kapitel 103: Chapter 103
Almost an hour had passed and the darkness suddenly dissipated as Alex walked towards the only man who stood.
He was a tall, handsome man with grey hair which made him look better instead of old, making him seem wise beyond his years.
Seeing the short kid walking towards him nonchalantly had ticked him off but the moment he noticed all the bodies that were sprawled on the floor. He didn't even have to think about it as he instinctively knew that the person responsible for it was the kid in front of him.
"Why are you targeting us?"
"Nyeta. I'm here for her husband."
"Oh…. OH! My brother. Will you let me go if I bring him to you?"
"Nah… take me to him and I'll let you go."
"Oh, okay. Sure."
Alex nodded and motioned him to go ahead and the man followed his gesture and led him to the basement where a lot of people were locked up. Large dirty cells were filled with filth which made him wonder how the people inside even lived there.
The last cell was relatively clean but the smell was something that couldn't be blocked. The man inside was handsome and young like a hot Italian movie star.
"So… you're Nyeta's husband?"
The man looked up and nodded before looking back down at the ground. Alex looked at the grey-haired man and patted him on his back.
"Kill your brother and I will let you live."
"Wh- what?"
"Kill your brother and I will let you live."
"But why? I thought you wanted him alive." He said, drops of sweat dripping off of his forehead as he tried to fight back his nausea. After all, he had never climbed down into the basement in his whole life.
"If I take bring him with me, I will have to kill you. Pick one uncle. Your life or your brother's life. You have two minutes so stand back while I check his memories."
He took two steps back as Alex bent the iron bars without even using his wand. He walked inside and touched Nyeta's husband's forehead with the tip of his wand and pulled out a silvery string before touching it with his free hand.
"Hmm…. Looks like she wasn't lying. Nice…. You don't have to stay alive anymore but I'll let your fate be decided by your brother."
The frail man simply stared at the ground, saying nothing while Alex walked back out and looked at his brother.
"So? Did you decide already?"
The man nodded and pulled out his wand and pointed it at his brother. He stayed in the same position for a few seconds before putting the wand back in his pocket.
"I- I will do it. I just don't know a spell that can kill….", he said hurriedly as Alex raised his wand. He then took out a knife from his pocket to show that he had a weapon that could help him.
He stepped forward trying his best to keep his food in his stomach as he got closer to his younger brother.
"…. I simply wanted to erase the disgrace you had fun with. I never expected this to happen, Luke… I'm sorry I treated you like this. I'm really sorry."
He hugged his younger brother and bawled his eyes out while Alex simply waited, calmly watching the show.
After a few minutes, he separated from his brother and readied his mind.
"I hope you forgive me, Luke.", he said for the last time but the response he received was nothing but surprising.
"Ptui!", Luke spit on his face and grinned, "You're just a pathetic coward. That's the reason why our father wanted me to inherit his position in the family. You are a pathetic lose-"
The knife effortlessly pierced through the neck, slicing through thick arteries, muscles, and bones.
"Fuck you, Luke.", he muttered as he turned around to see Alex staring at him.
"He's not wrong though, your brother. You are quite pathetic."
"Haha. As you say, sir. Could I please leave now? I did what you asked me to.", he said, grinning widely.
Alex smiled in return, "Of course.", 'Avada Kadavra'
The soulless body fell and Alex simply left the place, 'Well… that was quite boring.'
*********
Nyeta and Helen were happily playing with the twins when Alex and Toffy appeared in the room.
Nyeta stood up and stared at the two of them as a very bad sensation enveloped her heart. It felt like something had gripped her heart and was squeezing it.
Breathing heavily, she asked, "Where…. Where is my Luke?"
"I'm sorry but he was killed by his brother. I didn't know what to do so I killed his brother for you."
"You're lying… you're lying. You're lying!!! You…. You're lying…", she broke down at the end as her legs gave way.
Helen took both the kids outside while Alex sighed and sat beside her.
"Luke told me to give you something before he died… but he told me that it isn't for you but instead, it's for his son. Lucio is the heir of his family or something."
Nyeta didn't respond and simply continued crying while Alex said nothing more, waiting for her to calm down.
It took her almost half an hour to calm down but she still looked like she would break down any moment. With bloodshot eyes, she held his hand and placed it on hers, cupping it.
"Promise me that you didn't kill my husband. If you lie, your whole bloodline will be cursed at the expense of my life!"
"... I promise."
Nyeta continued to hold his hand for a few more seconds and when she felt nothing, he broke down again, this time hugging his torso and wiping all of her tears on his clothes.
Alex let her do whatever she wanted as he needed her for his own safety. To fulfill a role in the time cycle he had to create through a web of lies.
