Chapter 249 - 249: Inquest
Genius 249
After waiting for hours at the port, Ken finally lost his patience. Evan was not answering his call while Peyton couldn"t reach Daniella as was well.
They were on the ship, waiting for them. While he was impatient, Patrick on the other side was chatting and laughing talking to the Queen of Galla.
"Hey I think we should go back," he said worriedly. Something wasn"t right, he could feel it.
He gripped the phone in his hand. He was so worried.
His mind deep thinking about Daniella and Evan"s whereabouts was disturbed when his phone rang. He picked it up with rush only to be disappointed upon hearing Glen"s voice.
"Evan is being taken for killing Kim and Daniella is meeting with Jared. I will be there in an hour, can you check on Evan, Daniella is very worried about him."
Ken"s heart thumped uncontrollably. He knew it, something was definitely wrong.
With that, he rushed to Peyton and explained the situation.

Meanwhile. Evan was starting to worry about Daniella. He was in the police station for an inquest.
Sitting on the cold and rusty metal chair, Evan blew out a sigh. He seemed to be in the bas.e.m.e.nt of the police station. There was a white bulb up ahead while his cuffed wrists were on the wooden table.
Opposite of him was an empty chair. After arriving at the police station, he was brought to the bas.e.m.e.nt with no one to talk too.
The place was cold while his wrists were slightly hurt and swollen.
Then, the door creaked open. Evan turned his head and found the chief of police walking towards him holding a baseball bat.
He was not a gangster but with just one look, he knew that the chief was a part of one.
"Get up!" the man said.
Evan blew out a sigh, "I won"t talk until my lawyer arrived," he knew his right and he was certain that they won"t hurt him.
"That is if your lawyer will see you alive."
Hearing his vicious tone, Evan"s eyes narrowed. Now he was certain that he was not the chief of police even though he was wearing a chief of police uniform.
He got up and took a few steps back while his wrists were still tied up.
"There"s nowhere to go Evan Su. You killed our boss so you deserve to be punished."
Saying that, the man swayed the baseball bat in the air towards Evan He quickly dodged it, but the man kept on swaying the bat until it crashed his shoulder.
The pressure was too much and so as the pain.
Evan"s knee weakened but he stayed standing and balanced his body.
He squared his shoulders and prepared himself. He only needed some time before Glen arrived to get him out.
The man once again attacked him but suddenly, he stopped in his track when the door opened.
Evan turned, a little hope rose in his chest.
But the hope faded when he noticed that two men who had just entered the room and locked the door were holding a baseball bat and a whip made of bob wire.
He gulped hard. There"s no way he can fight them all, especially with his tied arms.
"How long are you going to keep him alive?" one of the men holding a whip spoke. A smile of excitement and vicious on his lips.
"This man is good in dodging" the first man replied.
Evan took a step back until his body b.u.mped on the cold and rough wall.
"I didn"t kill him," he said with a rough voice.
The second man sneered, "they found your fingerprint in the crime scene so there"s no way it isn"t you."
Evan couldn"t do anything anymore when the two men held each of his arms and pushed him down on the table.
He knew what was going to happen and he was prepared for it.
Pang!
Evan felt as if his skin has been torn apart. He felt the p.r.i.c.kles of the bob wire on his skin when the man pulled it out, a loud groan roared from his lips.
He heard the men laughing.
"You messed up with the wrong man." one of the men spoke and once again whipped his back.
There was so much pain than his mind could handle. As he accepted and endure the pain from the whip, Evan had only one person in his mind and that was Daniella.
Despite the pain, he was glad that he didn"t let them get Daniella. He just couldn"t imagine her in this place, getting this kind of pain.

After receiving a call from Peyton, Robert quickly grabbed Scott from Jenna"s apartment and rushed to Macao to help Daniella.
They tried tracking her but none of her tracking shown where she was. Everything showed offline.
Scott nervously focused on the sky. He was flying the private plane, after flying for almost an hour, he received a message asking for their flight information.
He gave the details over the radio and landed on the airport carefully. Before leaving, they filled their bags with guns and went to the port where Peyton was waiting.
"Any news?" Robert asked Peyton as soon as they arrived.
"Hey! Isn"t that the albino gorilla that you and Daniella saved?" Scott said upon seeing the gorilla in the cage.
Robert threw it a glance and nodded. Nothing really mattered to him right now other than Daniella.
"Why did you leave her Peyton!" he yelled at her, "how stupid are you to leave her alone?"
Peyton"s scoffed by the anger flaring around Robert, "why are you blaming me? She asked me to leave so I left. Why aren"t you two with her?"
Robert"s nose wrinkled, his hands balled into fists, "What are you trying to imply?"
The bitter smile on Peyton"s lips widened, "why did you think she asked for my help and not you?" she said giving them a judgy look.
"It"s because you judge her. That woman was broken when she went to my place because she knew that she will be judged if she asked for your help," she said those words so loudly and full of emotion, tears wet her eyes as well but they didn"t dare to fall down.
Robert turned mute. Peyton has a point, if Daniella came to him with swollen and red eyes, he would scold her for giving up too much.
