Chapter 152: CH 152: A considerable plan
It was only just a few minutes after Tyler had shouted for Bob to go find the two missing kids, he had soon return, claiming to have found them. Or more accurately, they had came here themselves.
Tyler’s curiosity had been piqued, and he had requested that the two kids be brought before him. Bob, ever the obedient servant, had instantly gone ahead to fetch the kids, bringing them to kneel before Tyler and the rest of the group. The kids’ eyes were cast downward, their faces a mixture of fear and anticipation.
Tyler’s gaze bore into them, his voice firm as he asked, "Where have you guys been for the past two days?" The kids exchanged a nervous glance before beginning to explain their story.
They spoke of how they had been ambushed along with the group they had gone with, and the people that had ambushed had killed everyone else except from them two. It was a lie, but they were making it up so they could get back at Anthony and the rest who had tortured them the first day they arrived there.
He also wanted to show them just how strong the master tyler he talked about was. They didn’t believe his words when he said it, but if they were to see just how strong their master was, they’ll come to realize that he was saying the truth.
Afterwards, they continued their story by revealing how they had been spared and taken to a casino base, where many survivors were staying. They were tortured greatly and were starved for days. Their voices trembled as they recounted their experiences, but they spoke clearly and concisely.
As they reached the part about their escape, one of the kids mentioned the mysterious figure who had helped them. "Someone among the people had helped us escape," they said, "He offered to help us out in return for joining your faction."
Tyler’s interest was piqued, and he leaned forward, his eyes locked on the kids. "What is the name of this person?" he asked, his voice low and intense.
The kids hesitated for a moment before responding in unison, "Ajax." Tyler’s expression remained neutral, but his mind was racing with possibilities.
The kids continued to explain, revealing the details of Ajax’s plan. "He’s willing to do anything for you," they said, "and he had even given us the details about the people who had captured us, they are known as the executives."
The kids’ words spilled out in a rush, as if they were eager to prove their loyalty. "He also said that him and his mother were humiliated by the leader of the base and by these executive people. That he wants payback on them, while we can also take revenge on them, a win-win for both of us." The kid’s words echoed Ajax’s exact phrase, and Tyler’s eyes narrowed, his mind whirling with the implications of this new alliance.
"Surprising," Tyler said, a hint of amusement dancing in his voice. "Someone who is willing to do anything for me." He leaned back in his chair, steepling his fingers together as he pondered the possibilities.
