MAX POV

After careful planning, we traveled towards the hideout of the prime minister. I admired the speed at which Szenix's staff acted. They immediately locate where the prime minister took and hide my wife. His staff and IT were so good that in just one and a half hours we were able to find the place and plan what to do.

Caspien comes with us. Despite his condition and Szenix's disagreement on what he wants, he still comes with us. He said that we might need him and he can twist everything if the prime minister knows and questions the identity of Szenix's staff. So, we let him come with us, with the condition that he will not participate in any fight. He will just keep an eye on the secret place and come out if necessary.

As for Niel's father, he also wanted to come but I didn't let him. He said that he wanted to see the prime minister. I promise him that he will see it when we catch him. Of course, I will do it. I want to see what the prime minister's reaction will be when he sees Niel's father. Reigh also didn't want to let him go. My daughter keeps on crying especially when she accidentally sees Szenix's gun. Fortunately, Szenix calmed my daughter down, but I almost hit him. He let my daughter hold the gun. He said that it would relieve trauma. Somehow, it works. Reigh also calmed down but still, she doesn't let her grandfather go.

"No matter what happens, your job is to make sure that the king and the queen are safe. We can't pay the whole kingdom with gold if something bad happens to them." Szenix serious reminder to his six men. If I'm not mistaken, their group is called Scorpion."Yes, boss."

"What about the snipers?" He asked again with his eye focused on Mile, one of the scorpion members.

"The Keepers are already in position. They are ready to shot anytime you allow them."

"Good. What about the queens?" Szenix asked again.

"We're here already boss. Lavender is already on the move." Answered by one of Szenix's staff via our earpiece. I think she is one of the queens.

"Good," Szenix said, then, he looked at me seriously.

"You can do whatever you want. We'll clear the way for you, but let me remind you, my staff doesn't know how to stop. They will kill until they are satisfied."

"I want Barksville to be alive," I answer.

"I can't be sure but I'll beg the Keepers." I just nodded. Not even one of my staff come with us. Szenix said that it was hard to trust because we didn't know who the prime minister's staff at the palace were. He suggested that we only take his staff and I agreed.

I quietly looked out of the car. Men are scattered outside. There were scattered palace soldier too. I made sure that security was tight outside the palace, but I had a pet snake next to me. Interesting because despite my caution with the prime minister, he still managed to turn one of my staff into a snake. He is really smart. Dangerous and smart. It was scary, but he was mistaken for the person who was intimidated. He was wrong by the person who retaliated.

An hour later, we stopped at a vacant lot full of trees and thick grass. Szenix's driver hid the vehicle. From our vantage point, there is a view of the mansion perched on a vacant lot. It is surrounds by tall grass. There is no house around. The mansion looks like a wild house because there are only trees around it.

"Boss, Your Majesty." I was surprised to hear the voice of Szenix's staff on the earpiece I was wearing.

"Yes, Fleet?"

"I hacked all the cctv in the mansion. The prime minister is waiting for the king. Please come with him, and bring Shadow with you."

"How many people does he have around?"

"Five hundred."

"What ?!" I exclaimed. "Is there a war?"

Everyone laughed at the question.

"He is a coward Your Majesty."

"Only five hundred?" Szenix asked in surprise. I raised an eyebrow at his question.

"Prime minister has two thousand trained armies," Szenix informed me.

"The others are in the palace. But don't worry they are already taken down by a palace guard and a police officer led by Shin Wei." Fleet said.

I clenched my fist. One thousand five hundred. Two thousand soldiers. That's how he prepared to overthrow me.

I mentally laugh. I never thought the prime minister would think of me that way. I'm out of words.

"Good. As for the 500 men inside?"

"Let the hell keepers do their job boss." I looked at Szeniz again with a questioning look.

"No need for you to know. They're just my people."

I just shrugged. Everyone has a secret. And me, knowing a little bit secret of Szenix, I'm in a dangerous situation already. But, I don't care. If that danger will keep my family safe, I don't care.

"Shall we?" Szenix asked me.

"Mm," I responded.

"Shadow let's go." He turns to Mile.

"Keepers on position. Once we are inside the mansion, the hells key is all yours."

"Copy Death."

"Copy Death." I was horrified by the simultaneous response of Szenix's staff.

"Let's go," Szenix said to me. I just nodded. Mile opens the door. He came down to me first. I adjusted the clothes I was wearing.

A suit in this kind of situation is very much unmatched but this is what Szenix made me wear so that it is not so obvious that we are ready for whatever happens.

We quietly entered the mansion. The staff outside became alert but no one attempted to stop us. They watched. Hands are on the side, ready to pull out a gun at any time.

"Cowards." Mile whispered. "Can I shot one of them, Death?" He added.

"Barksville has staff inside, Shadow. You will have a fair share so just calm down. The five staff inside are yours." Fleet said from the earpiece.

"Five? Only five inside and then five hundred outside. What stupidity does he have?" Mile asked.

"I know. I'm not a fool so I don't know what kind of stupidity he has. Just ask later. Then inform me so I can research."

I secretly laughed at the answer. Even Szenix and Mile laugh at Fleet's answer.

We enter the mansion. No human is being inside, unlike on the outside. Two men greeted us.

"He's been waiting for you for a while, Your Majesty." A man that looks like he is in the '30s said.

"Lead the way." I seriously answer. He nodded, then, he walked in front of us. The other one position his self behind us. We quietly followed but we were alert.

"500 men are now on the way to hell. Damn it, hell is crowded again."

I was stunned by what Fleet said. I check my wristwatch. It's only been 15 minutes since I got out of the car. If I'm not mistaken we're only three minutes in here. I slowly turned to Szenix. He just grinned and shrugged. I let out a deep sigh.

Underground people ... they are the type of people who are easy to talk to. As long as you have the money, you can get their service. They are the scary ones to fight. They will kill without thinking twice.

We stopped opposite a room. I want to laugh when I see the iron door. It already spells cowardice of the person inside.

"Prime minister is inside." Said the man in front of me. I did not answer. I just stared at the steel door.

When the man opened the door, the smiling face of the prime minister immediately greeted me. Next to him was my wife. There was a gag in his mouth, his hands and feet are tied. The fear in her eyes makes my blood boil.

"You're late." The prime minister said arrogantly.

"Let's cut the chase. What do you want?" I sat in the vacant seat in front of the prime minister. My eyes are on my wife. I examine the part of her body without clothes. There was no wound, but the part that is tied to her was already red. The fear is visible on her face. Her lips are shaking. She is ready to run anytime to me if she can get out of bondage. I balled my fist beside me. His audacity to do this to Niel.

"You're in a hurry, Max. Do you want to be with your wife right away?" I clenched my fist tightly as he touched Niel's hair. My wife tries to move her head away and close her eye tightly.

"Shadow, Death." I raise my hand. The two quickly pulled out their guns. Shadow shot the head of the man standing behind my wife, while Death shot the table in front of the prime minister. My wife screamed. She closed her eyes tightly and trembled even more with fear.

The prime minister was also shocked by what happened, same his staff who remain standing. They were about to pull out a gun but Mile moved quickly. In just 30 seconds, there were only five of us breathing inside. I whistled. Headshot. I think I'll ask another favor to Szenix. The palace guard needs to be trained well. I sigh and stood up. I adjusted the suit I was wearing and approached Niel. The two move behind the prime minister and aim the gun at his head.

Niel hugged me immediately. She cries her heart out, making my blood boil more than as it is. I looked badly at the prime minister.

"I wish you could have a good conversation. After all, you are still Bai's father. She's a good daughter and a princess. She doesn't deserve you as a father. However, you are still her biological father. He lost one already and I don't want her to lose you too. However, what you did to my wife and my son, you shouldn't go through sensible conversations. " I kissed Niel. I planted a kiss on her cheeks and whisper I love you to his ears. I looked at the prime minister again.

"Hear my order, Barksville. I sentence you to death for attempting the life of the crown prince and the queen. For killing the queen's mother and brother, and for betraying the kingdom. Your death will be the day after tomorrow. You will be executed. Your head will be chop in front of my subjects."

The prime minister laughed out loud. "Do you think my allies will keep quiet?"

"They will." I quickly turned to the door. My father-in-law is standing there. The eye glazed with anger. He walked quickly towards the prime minister and punched him without saying a word. The prime minister laughed out loud.

"I didn't know the ghost was capable of punching a living person."

"I can kill you too."

"Dad no," I exclaimed as Niel's father pulled a gun from behind him. Mile hands move as fast as the wind. In a flash, he snatches the gun from Niel's father.

"Dad no. I sentence him to death."

"Good." My father said. He approached me and without warning took her daughter in my arms.

"Take him," I ordered Szenix. I went out with them first.

Finally, it is done. It was less than what I expected, but thanks to Szenix, there was not much life lost on our part. My wife is unharmed as well as my son. We are now safe. We can live peacefully.

Dad, I made it. You can rest peacefully now.
