"What do you mean we can"t go in the town? How is that possible?", he was already getting furious. Time had been wasted and now that they are already near Mansfield, they can"t even get in?"His men are guarding the routes, we tried to get in earlier but we were stopped and told that the roads are impa.s.sable.", the young man replied and Daniel"s expression grew dim.
It seemed that this Gael was really someone with power. As much as possible, Daniel didn"t want this incident to become a bloodbath unless it was the only option he had. He didn"t know if Samantha was okay or not and he was already very anxious; he was so close to not caring about innocent people and just do what he wanted to do. Clenching his teeth, he had to figure out another way to get inside.
Just as he was deep in thoughts, his phone rang; it was Lucas.
"Lucas.", Daniel answered his phone.
"I heard the situation, I"ll help you get in Mansfield town, let me call Gael"s men.", he announced over the phone.
"No, Lucas. You have already done enough by getting me here and letting me borrow your men, it will not do you good if you interfere with this. It might cause strife between your families.", Despite Daniel"s impatience to get to Samantha, he didn"t want to implicate Lucas because it was possible for the issue to become very huge to handle and might cause a war between the De Lucas and the Olsens.
"You don"t have to worry about that, this much I can handle.", Lucas replied.
"Lucas-", Daniel wanted to reason some more but then Lucas stopped him.
"Brother, being powerful isn"t about doing everything by yourself. It is about using the right resources so that you don"t have to do everything by yourself and still remain powerful. Right now, I am your resource. And it is only right that you use me well and like I said, we are family. Samantha"s my sister-in-law, I can"t allow anyone to harm any family member of mine. We"re brothers, right?", he stated.
Daniel thought about Lucas" statement. And he is right, there was no other way and Samantha"s and Becca"s lives are more important.
"You"re right. Then please help me.", Daniel no longer refused.
After their call, Daniel and Lucas" men started to move. They reached the borders of Mansfield town in 15 minutes and unlike the first time when Logan"s team tried to get in, it only took one glance from the security who was guarding the post before letting them in. Little did Daniel"s group know, Gael"s men were hiding around the perimeter just waiting for a signal to fire their guns.
A few minutes later, they arrived at a luxurious estate where the young man from Logan"s team deduced that it was where Samantha and Becca were held captive. It had a wide front lawn and there were a few black cars parked outside.
Inside the black SUV, Daniel asked the young man, "Are you sure this is the place?".
"I"m 98% sure.", he replied.
Daniel ordered the team to stay except for Logan. He didn"t think that he would need a lot of men to go with him. Logan insisted on bringing more but Daniel stopped him, nevertheless Logan signaled his team to be on standby just in case. After all, they don"t know who or what they are going to face once they step inside the mansion.
…
"Master." said one of Gael"s men as he hurriedly approached him. "There are two men outside who are looking for these two.", he gestured with his chin towards Samantha and Becca and the two of them looked at each other in confusion.
Gael"s brows scrunched up and he looked over the two women.
"Is someone here for Becca?", he thought.
Gael suddenly felt bothered that men were looking for her. Is one of them pursuing her?
He disliked the thought of it. He walked out of the bedroom and headed downstairs to greet his guests.
Daniel and Logan stood outside the door waiting for Gael to show up. A few moments later, A tall and dangerously handsome looking man sauntered towards the door confidently. Gael"s eyes settled on Daniel"s and they were staring at each other.
"Is this the man who is here to see Becca?", he asked in his thoughts.
"Good evening, gentlemen. What can I do for you?", he spoke in a polite manner, his face plastered a fake smile.
As soon as the man appeared before them, Daniel immediately knew that this was Gael in front of them.
Trying to keep his cool, Daniel replied in an expressionless manner. "I"m here to get my fiance and her friend back."
Upon hearing Daniel"s claim, Gael"s expression slightly changed. "Your fiance?"
Becca had only arrived in Country K for about two months and she already has a fiance?
Gael"s stare pierced through Daniel. He was so close in reaching for his gun and putting a bullet in his head right then and there. "How dare he stake his claim of my woman?"
Keeping his composure, he decided to add, "I think you have mistaken. We don"t have anyone else in here aside from my men."
"Really? So you are not keeping Becca against her will in here?", Daniel spoke without a hint of cowardice. "This was Becca"s ex-lover?"
Gael clenched his teeth when he heard Daniel speak Becca"s name. He was just about to open his mouth when he heard a woman yelling from upstairs.
"Daniel!!"
All of them looked up in unison to where the voice came from and Daniel saw Becca struggling to get away from one of Gael"s men. She tried to fight her way out of his grasps but they were just too strong for her.
Daniel"s eyes scanned the area very quickly in an attempt to look for his fiance but he couldn"t find her.
"Becca! Wh-", Daniel only managed to utter these words as he tried to step inside the house before he was stopped with guns pointing at him.
Gael looked at Daniel"s direction again, his expression dark. "So you are really here for Becca?"
