Chapter 30: rescue



Chapter 30: rescue

FINN and Ruby at this time were running non-stop. They just got out of a restaurant building where the underground dungeon they were kept in was located. Getting out of the restaurant was quite easy. There wasn't much security and they could mix in with the ordinary customers. Finn suspected that the restaurant was probably a camouflage for the underground auction.

What was really hard was trying to get out of the underground dungeon. They were not stopped by one or two men but almost a dozen. Finn almost thought that they've probably gone the wrong way. But of course they wouldn't just stand there and let those men take them back. So the two of them didn't hesitate to use their Gifts.

It was the first time the both of them used their Gifts with the intention of causing major damage to a person. It didn't bother them much while they were fighting. But once they were out, they felt the full effect of what happened. They injured people, probably even killed some. Finn was not psychologically prepared for that. Even his vivacious sister hadn't spoken since they got out.

But Finn didn't have time to ponder over their psychological health because there's a more important thing he needed to worry over. And that's if Argent and Aurum managed to go out or if they're being auctioned at this very moment. That's why Finn needed to contact their uncle quickly. So he could rescue the twins. But Finn needed to find a safe place first before that. It wouldn't do them any good if those good-for-nothing bastards found them and took them back.

So Finn continued to pull Ruby until they reached a very busy street. Then he pulled Ruby inside a clothing store. He turned to the first person he saw inside - a middle-aged woman.

"Excuse me, madam. But may I know where this is?" he asked.

The woman was obviously surprise by his question, then she noticed that the two kids were alone. "Are you two lost?"

"Yes, madam," Finn answered not bothering to deny what the woman said. "If you could be so kind to tell us where this is, then we could contact our family."

"Of course. You're in the business district of Kirst City."

Kirst City? That's just next to Warrshaw. Good. That meant once Uncle Jax knew where they were, he could come here much faster. "Thank you, madam."

"You're welcome. But be sure not to separate with your parents next time." The woman smiled and left.

Finn took the defaro crystal from his pocket. He took it from one of the men who attack them earlier. He put his Mana into it and visualized his Uncle. A few seconds passed and Uncle Jax' image appeared inside the crystal.

"Finn? Are you okay? Where's Ruby? And the twins?" Jaxon asked continuously, his handsome face full of worry.

"Ruby and I are fine. But the twins-- Uncle Jax, please listen," Finn told him everything that happened as quick as he could. "The underground auction was located at a restaurant called Mirage. Please hurry, Uncle."

"You did well, Finn. Stay where you are. I'll send my secretary to get you."

Then the connection ended.

"Brother, Argent and that brat, will they be okay?" Ruby asked.

"They will be." They must.

----------

Jaxon opened the curtain of the carriage he's in and told the coachman to fly faster. He's currently in a carriage being pulled by gryphons. When he received the news that the kids might have possibly been kidnapped, he immediately mobilized his intelligence group to find their whereabouts. He already received a report earlier that the person who kidnapped the kids took them to Kirst City. But that was it. They didn't know where in the city he took the kids. So Finn's call shorten their search by leaps and bounds.

Jaxon called his secretary and told him to fetch Finn and Ruby. Then he called his men to go straight to that Mirage restaurant.

He clenched his fists. He couldn't believe that someone in the family would really dare to do this. Do they really think that he's some kind of soft persimmon? That he would turn a blind eye and just let them try to kill his nephew? He sneered. Looks like he needed to do a major family clean up.

Just fifteen minutes later, the carriage landed. Jaxon got off the carriage and saw the Mirage restaurant not far away. He walked towards it and one of his men immediately approached him.

"What's the situation?" he asked.

"We already surrounded the perimeter and took hold of the employees inside, Master."

"The twins?"

"We're still searching for them."

Just after he said that, another of his men came out of the restaurant building and strode towards them.

"Have you found them?" Jaxon immediately asked.

A complicated expression appeared on the man's face. "About that- Master, I think you should see it for yourself."

What he said just confused Jaxon. "Just lead the way."

When they reached their destination, Jaxon immediately understood what he meant. They were in some kind of fighting pit. In front of them was a total bloodbath. Dead men drowning in their own blood. And in the middle of it all were two children hugging each other. The sight of Argent and Aurum woke Jaxon from his reverie. He immediately ran towards the two.

"Are you okay?" Jaxon eyes widened when he saw Agent's wounds.

"Silly question," Argent said sarcastically. She winced when she tried to move. Aurum was still hugging her like a koala. Good thing she managed to put a spare bracelet on Aurum before Jaxon and his men came. Or else, their brains may have exploded by now. "Just get us out of here."

----------

Viper crushed the defaro crystal in his hand. He just received a report from the spy he put in the McAllister household. He put the person there so he could know whatever Argent was doing whenever he's not with him. That way he wouldn't miss any events in Argent's life. If he didn't do that, he might have not known what happened today.

"That lizard, I'll fucking kill him!"

"You know it's forbidden in our organization to kill a member with a code name," a sultry voice suddenly said.

Viper turned around and saw a woman with long black hair that almost reached the floor. She has delicate white skin and a pair of seductive blue eyes. She has that kind of beauty that could tempt almost anyone.

Viper narrowed his eyes. "Vixen, who told you to eavesdrop?"

Vixen smiled. If the man in front of her was not Viper, then he would be probably starting to offer his love to her by now. "I was just passing by. It's your fault you didn't take your call to a more private location. So, are you really going to kill Gecko?"

"Not that it's any of your business, but yes, I will," Viper said, completely annoyed.

"You'll be punished, you know."

"I don't care. It will be totally worth it."

Vixen stared at him. "All this just for a boy? Will that really be worth it?"

"If it's for him, then yes, it will."

"May I ask why?" Vixen asked, totally not understanding what Viper was saying.

"Because when I'm with him, I don't feel like such a monster."

Then Viper passed by her, thinking of a thousand way he would kill a certain lizard.
