His Devious Rule

Chapter 551 Deceived

At the Secret Service office,

After being suppressed, Axel struggled when the masked three dragged him to the fifth floor. They pushed him inside and dusted their hands.

Axel, who balanced himself from the impact, was flabbergasted when Anya twirled on her swivel chair, looking calm and bored. The others took their seats throwing their masks.

Jason spat at his officers for including him in their surprise attack, "I'm late now." He had identified his officers when Melvin pulled his Black Glock. And breaking into the building wasn't as easy as it looks.

Anya innocently shrugged. She hadn't asked them to include Jason. The latter had tortured them with surprise attacks numerous times when they were new. It was to judge the attentiveness of the officer. They have to be on high alert. She had once broken the nose of a person Jason had sent.

Luna: "Lesson number one: Fighting isn't always the solution."

One has to take a step back to study the situation. Or hide, or even run before planning to attack.

Senon: "Number two: De-weapon the attacker."

When the attacker is at arm's length, de-weaponizing is the best choice while dodging the attack. Axel fought hard physically with the three but failed to de-weaponize Melvin.

Paxton: "Use anything and everything at your reach as your weapon."

There were many things at Axel's reach. Instead of struggling with them, he could have smashed those things on them. Property damage is unavoidable when fighting to save ourselves or others.

Jason rolled his eyes and walked away. His officers didn't bother teaching Axel prior because he was in a special task force. Axel will have to make some changes to what he taught at his previous work and adapt to new ways.

Melvin tossed the temporary access card toward Axel and resumed work. Anya added, waving her hand to bid him farewell for the day, "It was a sample."

Axel was speechless half of the time. He honestly thought the criminal organization caught up with them when Senon was cursing them in a faint country F accent.

His fighting skills were from the boxing ring and using firearms. It fell short in front of these members. Instead of being offended, he was curious about their full strength. He bid them and left the building, over-sensitive about the surrounding if they were going to attack him again.

The pleasant silence had enveloped the office when Senon shortly broke the silence, "Skye…." He continued after he heard her response, "Your today's stalkers aren't from any media company."

He turned around and looked at Anya's side profile, "They work for Alaric De Michèle." He wondered when this businessman got involved in their cases. "Does he ring a bell?"

Anya leaned back on the chair hearing the name. Anything and everything was crucial during her current mission. She couldn't underestimate the criminal organization as they could put everyone around her in danger. Hence she had asked Senon to take a look into them once.

Is Alaric De Michèle an agent for that organization?

She flashed a faint smile at Senon, "Thank you Senon, I will take forward from here." She was about to tie her hair, to dig into the man's information, Senon added, "He has been in your mansion since morning, Skye." There was a warning in his tone.

And that was enough to turn her cool gray eyes into icy sharp blizzards. Alaric De Michèle wasn't a business associate of Alvin as far as she knows. He sent his men behind her and went to the Oasis mansion. His intentions weren't looking healthy.

She grabbed her leather thigh belt with her handgun. She wouldn't have bothered so much about him if he hadn't reached the mansion. The place that was supposed to be safest from every threat.

Senon watched her tie the belt around her things and sighed. Anya used to live a bland, uneventful life till Alvin appeared in her life. Now it had turned into an adventurous show - The Matthews drama, her dangerous missions, and threats knocking on the door of her home.

Checking the time, he voluntarily took the job in case Alaric was harmful. They could have a backup to clean up the mess. "I will send his details to you."

Anya's response barely reached their ears when she hurried out. She dialed Alvin when she got in the taxi.

At Oasis Mansion,

Rob entered the dining hall with deep scowls. He was itching to throw every outsider out of the estate including Alaric. Anyway, he paused when he noticed an annoyed Zane striding towards the hallway, pursing his lips and frowning hard.

"Alvin F**…"

Before more words drilled into the little man's ear, Alvin smoothly scooped him into his arms. He placed his hand on one of his ears and pressed the little head on his chest

"Alvin F**king Matthews, where the f**k are you hiding?" The person screamed at the top of his tongue.

Alvin merely met Rob's gaze. Simply indicating, whoever the freak the man was, silence him right away.

Rob disappeared into the hallway while Zane struggled in Alvin's arms, "Chipmunk Monster… Let me go." Just like how he was protective of Anya, he was instinctively reacting to protect his father.

Between Zane's words, he and Owen couple missed hearing the loud gasps and muffled noise from the hallway.

Alvin shushed the little man to coax him, "Shhh…" When the fury blazed in his eyes, his voice was mild and his embrace was protective. "I will take a look, Little Chipmunk. Go upstairs with Grandpa." His unyielding voice carried the unsaid command for the three.

Zane stared at his father's aloof face before he reluctantly left with his grandparents by the elevator to avoid the hallway.

Alvin waited for a few seconds before commanding the man who watched everything like a movie playing on a screen, "Get the f**k out, Mr. Mitchell. I don't babysit anyone but my son."

Walking through the hallway, Alvin entered the simple office room which was generally used by Rob. His eyes narrowed at the three.

Lilian was worried about the man who was whimpering on the floor. Liam looked troubled, pinching his nose bridge.

Rob was hiding his revulsion at Liam who couldn't handle any shit. He discerned why Casper wasn't daring to hand over the company to Liam.

Rob briefed the reason behind the commotion for Alvin. "Mr. Abraham is at the wrong place to demand justice for his brother-in-law." He scorned, glancing at the man on the floor.

Shouldn't Abraham go to Casper instead of Alvin?

Security had escorted Lilian's brother to the outhouse. He was there to confirm if the news was true. Although it was news for the couple too, they weren't bothered about it.

He was incensed that his sister and her husband weren't getting anything. He had stormed into the mansion assuming that Alvin played dirty to get everything, after all, a bastard covets things.

Alvin sat on the black leather chair and crossed his legs looking disdainfully at the well-groomed man, flushed red in pain. His eyes shifted to the couple. If not the stranger, the two knew well Zane will be home on the weekend and downstairs at lunchtime.

Instead of slapping the man across his face as soon as he spouted inappropriate words, they followed him inside. He didn't care if Lilian or Liam wanted company shares but he revealed a piece of truth.

"I. Deceived. Casper Matthews to. Will his company to. My son." He accepted in his dark cold voice, emphasizing 'deceive' and 'my son.'

Initially, Alvin had no plans to have anything to do with the Matthews family. Neither Casper nor Gianna respected it. He drew the whole plan on the day Gianna titled his son as 'Bastard's Bastard.'

He began smoothly. He presented his son in front of Casper in his office. Dropped the news of Zane to the old lady, Cordelia, of the house. Gianna burned in her ego.

But Casper failed to see through Alvin's plan. He believed the small actions and fell into a carefully woven scheme. Alvin sold 10 percent of the Matthews shares and brought foreign men to speak with shareholders to panic Casper. In turn, Alvin was getting 56 percent of company shares.

Well, Linus will be the one who will be taking the throne of the Matthews empire. Hence Alvin kept Anya away from the twisted plans and Casper's useless attack. She will freak out, she will be restless thinking of Zane. Nevertheless, he was there to take care of her.

Alvin questioned the man, "What is your brilliant plan to bring justice for your brother-in-law?" Because it was too late for Casper to take back his media attack.

Casper either has to watch his company drown or keep his dignity to the world but lose to Alvin.
