Chapter 139: Letting a Spy Escape
Alex was not the least bit happy when Chad walked through the doors of Diana’s penthouse. Even more so, when the man started acting like he owned the place. Chad was, of course, stunned to find so many beautiful women all gathered in one place, and immediately became internally jealous of Alex.
Though he did not let it show. Perhaps the most shocked person of all to see Chad enter the room, was none other than Jade who immediately jumped out of her chair and shouted at the man with a wall the anger she could possibly muster .
“What is that asshole doing here? Alex, are you friend with this prick?”
Jade began having a mini meltdown almost as if her worst fears had suddenly become realized, and Alex was just using her for one giant prank. Alex, however, immediately calmed the young woman down with a voice that was filled with complete and utter contempt. He spoke before Chad could do so, letting his true feelings out as he did so.
“Am I friends with this asshole? No fucking way! If I had it my way, he would be left to the wolves to fend for himself! But unfortunately, you all forced me to let him in. Just know, you little prick, that I am watching you, and if you even think about harming me or my girls, I will toss your corpse off the fucking balcony!”
The moment Alex said these words, Chad frowned and gritted his teeth. He always hated the way Alex spoke to him and was just about to say something when Mimi reprimanded Alex for his exceptionally foul language.
“Alex! No potty words!”
The young idol was pouting in a way that was so adorable that Alex could only sigh and shake his head before dragging her into his arms and petting her bubblegum pink hair.
“Alright, I’m sorry Mimi, I’ll try not to speak to this... Jerk... With such words again....”
Though Alex said this, he flashed a murderous gaze towards Chad, which essentially told the man to go kill himself. Chad, of course, chuckled when he saw that Alex was being tamed by a girl, and looked at the man with mocking eyes. He then sat down on a sofa, and motioned for Emily to come join him, as if he were the king of this castle.
“Emily, come here!”
Emily, of course, did the exact opposite, and scurried to Alex’s unoccupied side, hiding behind his broad chest, as she shot Chad a furious gaze. Seeing this as a chance to taunt Chad, Alex used this opportunity to grope Emily, who, despite glaring at Alex as if she were about to eat his liver, did nothing to stop the man’s shameless actions.
Upon seeing another man grope his girlfriend, Chad was about to jump up out of his seat and challenge Alex to a fight, when Shannon spoke up with an almost hate filled tone in her voice.
“Why are you here, Chad?”
This forced Chad to remain calm, as he apologized to both her and Emily, before giving them a sob story that he thought would allow him to stay.
“Listen, I’m sorry for the way I behaved towards both you and Emily, but I swear to God my life is in danger! Some shady characters have been following me lately, and just earlier today, when I was getting out of football practice, I was jumped in the parking lot by some hooded thugs.
They tried to kidnap me. Luckily, I am such a badass that I managed to knock the fuckers out and drive away! I heard about what happened to Emily and figured that she would be staying here for safety! Please don’t send me back out there. If you do, I’m as good as dead!”
This sob story may have worked on Alex’s girls from Korea who had no idea who Chad was, or what his character was like. But Alex and the others from Vegas felt this story was a load of bullshit. It was not until Alex broke out into laughter and called the man on his fabricated story that the others began to see the crack in his façade.
“You knocked out multiple men? You? A football player? Chad, you don’t even know how to properly throw a fucking punch! And you expect me to believe that you knocked out multiple men, who I presume were armed, and got away just fine? What kind of bullshit is this? If you can’t give me an honest explanation about why you are here, then I’m going to assume you are working for the assassins, and if that’s the case...”
Alex reached into his waistband and pulled out his heavily modified Glock 19 from its holster before placing it on the table. He then reached under the throw pillow and pulled out a suppressor, which he threaded to the barrel. With an incredibly menacing look in his eyes as he did so.
Once the suppressor was attached, Alex racked the slide, ensuring that a round was chambered, before placing the gun back down on the table, with its barrel facing where Chad was sitting. His intent was clear: if Chad was working for the assassins that were after both Alex and his mother, then the man was as good as dead. Alex finally finished his sentence after making the threatening gesture.
“I don’t need to tell you exactly what will happen, now do I?”
Chad gulped when he saw a loaded firearm facing him. Unlike Alex, he was not raised with guns. After all, his parents were quite liberal. They were the type of people who wanted all firearms banned and confiscated. Until now, Chad had never actually even seen an actual gun.
But Alex seemed quite accustomed to how they worked, which only added to the dread that Chad felt in that moment, as he tried to lie his way to survival. After all, he was indeed working with one of the assassins who was trying to kill Alex. Thus he spoke, with almost a bit of panic in his tone, as he tried to defend himself.
“Honest to god, that’s what happened. Hand on my chest! I swear on my grandmother’s grave!”
Alex, however, was not convinced. After all, it was most often liars who tried to emphasize how much their word was worth through such pointless exaggerations. Just when Alex was about to call the man on his bluff, Mimi spoke up, offering to entertain the house guest with some proper hospitality.
“Well Chad, now that you’re here, would you like some tea?”
Chad, being the culturally insensitive douche that he was, immediately scoffed at the idea of tea, before insulting Mimi for her offer.
“Tea? Who the fuck drinks tea? Get me a beer!”
“Chun-Hei, step aside... This asshole has been taking photos of the penthouse, and the security measures we have taken to ensure our own safety. He has been sending them to an unknown contact, who I suspect is a professional assassin, hired to kill me and my mother. I won’t allow the man to leave this place alive. He is now officially a threat to me and my loved ones. Surely you can understand the necessity of getting rid of such a threat?
Chun-Hei’s expression sank when she heard this. This was indeed a grave accusation that Alex was making, and if true. It meant that Chad was associated with an attempted murder. Such a thing complicated this matter, and made her understand where Alex was coming from.
However, before the young detective could come up with a rational solution to this problem, Emily spoke up from among the crowd of beautiful women. There was a desperate look on her face, and a pleading tone in her voice as she did so.
“Chad... Don’t tell me you actually are spying on us for an assassin? How could you? I know you hate Alex, but this... This is wrong Chad! It’s not just Alex’s life that is at stake, but his mother’s as well! And Diana is innocent! Not to mention all of us others here who could potentially be killed if the Assassin were to attack! Please... Don’t tell me Alex is right about you....”
Chad did not look the least bit guilty. Instead, he stood up from his seat, almost as if he were now completely unafraid of Alex’s threat. Because of this, he wore a smug smirk while outright admitting that he had indeed been providing intel about the penthouse and its security to a professional hitman.
“So what if I did? Alex deserves to die after everything he has done to me! My life was perfect before that bastard came back to Korea! I had you! I had Shannon! And I was on my way to becoming the greatest quarterback to ever live!
But ever since that prick came back to Vegas, he has poisoned you and Shannon against me! I was offered 2.5 million dollars to provide information that would allow a professional to kill this motherfucker! Of course I took it! Can you honestly blame me after everything Alex has put me through? This isn’t my fault, it’s his! How can you not see that!?!”
Emily and Shannon both looked at Chad with nothing but disgust after his sudden outburst. Because of what he had admitted to, Emily’s affection for the man dropping to critical levels.
[Emily is disgusted with Chad’s heinous actions!}
[-4 Affection from Emily to Chad! If she loses one more affection point for the man, he will never be able to conquer her!]
[Emily’s Affection for Chad: 1/100]
Before Alex could Mozambique Chad’s ass, Emily shouted at him, and told him to get lost before Alex killed him. The only thing preventing her from considering the man absolutely dead to her was the lingering feelings she still had for the man he used to be.
“Chad! Just go! Get the hell out of here and never show your face again! Go before Alex loses his shit and actually murders your pathetic ass!”
Chad could tell that Emily was truly upset with him, and thus he walked to the door, using this opportunity that the woman had given him to escape from this hostile situation with his life. However, before he left, he made it clear that things were not over between him and Alex.
“This isn’t over! This will never be over until one of us is buried and gone! Make no mistake, you fucking asshole, I will be back!”
After saying this, Chad ran out of Alex’s sight before the man could take a shot at him. And once he was gone, Alex lowered his weapon and sighed heavily before admonishing both Emily and Chun-Hei for letting a potential threat to his and his mother’s life escape.
“Emily, Chun-Hei... you shouldn’t have done that... You heard the man. He is going to keep coming after me until I am dead. I should have finished this here and now!”
However, Emily looked at Alex with a pleading gaze, before commenting on Alex’s bloodstained hands.
“Alex... I know you have killed before.... But that was self defense... This? This would have been murder! And you’re not a murderer! Besides, do you really want to kill a man in front of all of these women?”
Alex then took a look around, and saw that almost all of his women, except for Chun-Hei, were shaking in fear over what had just happened. Ultimately, Chun-Hei did, in fact, speak up over her thoughts on the matter.
“Alex... I know you hate this man, and I know that he does pose a threat to you... But now was not the time and place to end your feud with the man. Still, the threat he made as he fled it is concerning. You are absolutely right that this needs to be taken care of. But I can’t condone you to commit murder, especially because you are the man I love.
I refuse to watch as you get put away behind bars for life when this dispute could have been settled peacefully! I suggest we contact the police, after all, the man outright admitting to being an accessory to attempted murder. Now I will admit that I don’t know what the laws are like here in the United States, but surely he could face several years for committing such a crime?”
Alex, however, unthreaded the suppressor from the barrel of his handgun before stashing it away in its holster. He then shook his head before refusing Chun-Hei’s suggestion.
“No... That’s the last thing we need to do. If I know Chad, then he is about to go scurrying back to the assassin who hired him. This gives me a golden opportunity to capture the bitch and interrogate her until she gives up whoever is behind this bounty on our heads.
Once I know the identity of the mastermind, I will finish this once and for all. You’re right, Emily... Chad is not a threat... Not really. No matter how much he tries to kill me, he will never succeed. My real target should be the dick who put out the contracted on my head to begin with!”
Chun-Hei was deeply worried about Alex’s safety and freedom. Because of this, she immediately stepped forward and begged Alex not to do what he was thinking of doing.
“Alex... Please don’t tell me you are about to do something incredibly stupid!”
Yet Alex did not respond to this question, and instead gave an order to his girls, before heading out from the casino altogether.
“You girls stay here where you’re safe... I’m going to go handle this matter....”
