Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

453 Trouble at the party (7)

Davis was so angry that he flung the child against the wall, causing him to fall on a dead body. What Davis hated the most was to get compared to Rex. How dare the father and son see him as a weakling?! He took the gun from the only guard who came with him and pointed it at Valen. 1

"Your mouth got you into trouble. Blame yourself for your outcome."

"Don't you dare!" Maverick was trying to get up but his injury wouldn't allow him.

Before Davis could mock Maverick, Valen chuckled. When everyone thought he would apologize, the child went loose. "You are angry because you know it's true. Among the three great families, yours is the weakest. I heard you weren't supposed to be on the list but fortunately for you, you got your hands on ATOM... that's being..." he spelt in a low and taunting tone. "L.U.C.KY" he chuckled when he saw Davis' face had gone red. Still, the child wasn't done provoking him. "What makes you think you can be on the same level as my father? The true leader of the men? The most powerful that Country M can ever have?... hahahahahaha!"

"Enough!!! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" Davis started shooting in all directions, doing a good job of ruining everything in the room, except killing the people he should be killing.

Valen, on the other hand, was all smiles as he saw the idiot wasting all the bullets in the gun. 'What a fool, he thought.

After the last gunshot was fired, Davis asked for another gun, but the guard shook his head. He only brought one gun but his boss successfully wasted the bullets. Anyway, Maverick is now powerless, meaning, the gun is no longer needed.

The guard was still thinking when they heard a loud, bang! The guard froze and slowly looked down. Valen was holding a gun, which was pointed at him. He then looked at his body, his hand that he subconsciously placed on his stomach was filled with blood.

Before everyone in the room could awake from their shock of Valen killing someone, another loud 'bang!' was heard and the guard fell back, dead! (1)

"Valen!" Davis screamed like a madman. That was his most loyal subject!

Davis made up his mind to kill the child who was all smiles! The bastard was beaming at him!

While Valen was driving Davis crazy, Maverick was stretching himself beyond limit to get the gun that the staff lady had discreetly threw at him.

"I will kill you, Valen!" Just when Davis was about to make a move on the child, a bullet greeted his knee, then another on his shoulder.

Davis gasped and fell. He shifted his gaze and saw Maverick resting on a couch with his gun pointed at him. The two bullets came from his gun! "Maverick, you-"

"Bang!" Velen fired a bullet from his gun. "I promised you I'll be the one to kill you." The child said. Before he could shoot another, his father fired a bullet into Davis. The child smiled with glee and also

shot at Davis.

As Maverick was shooting, so was his son. The two, from different angles, riddled Davis' body with holes. Making sure they didn't kill him until their guns ran out of bullets. "Where is my mother?" Valen finally asked after throwing his gun away.

Davis, who was having a hard time catching his breath from the numerous bullet wounds on his body, managed a laugh, even though blood was trailing down his lips. "Yo-your mo-ther. Haha... pfft!" he puked blood before shifting his gaze to Maverick who was also suffering from gun wounds. "K-ill me."

"Where is my mother?!!!" Valen lurched forward and gripped his neck with his tiny hands. He wanted to choke the man, make him suffer. But unfortunately, he couldn't get the desired result, due to his little stature. For the first time, Valen felt bad about being a child.

"Reu-ben-Yu... cough! Pfft!" he spat out blood again."K-ill me, M- Mav-"

Davis didn't confess because he found Valen's hand on his throat a threat. He did so because he knew

he'd die, but didn't want to die alone.

He knew that Maverick would likely go and look for Reuben and the two would get into a fierce fight, where one must kill the other, or they both kill themselves. Either way, he wouldn't die alone. "Reuben" Maverick gritted his teeth and tried to stand up again. Seeing this, Valen went to support his father, together with the staff lady, they brought Maverick out of the room.

Just when they came out, they saw the injured Code 5 and Yellow dragging themselves over with a few other ladies from Pink's division. From the look of things, they fought a great battle because of the heavy stench of blood on them.

"Boss!" Code 5, who was hit by a bullet on his shoulder, hurried forward to support Maverick. Yellow, on the other hand, was dragging her foot on the floor because of a bullet wound.

They all looked exhausted. Including the few ladies in Lu uniform walking behind them.

"My daddy is badly hurt, send him to the hospital immediately!" Valen urged. The boy was panicking and scared but was feigning bravado.

"Yes, little young master!" Code 5 was not blind to the horrifying wound on his boss' chest and stomach, so he hurriedly took Valen's place, while another lady from Pink's girls, took the hotel staff's place as they helped their boss towards the elevator.

Valen paused and looked behind him like he just remembered something. He approached Pink and asked, "where is your gun?" (1)

"What do you need it for?"

Valen didn't respond and grabbed the gun from her waist before running back to the room they came

out from.

"Valen!" Yellow cried out and started hopping after him. She had no idea why the child was going back. When they got to the door, she finally got the idea of what the child intended to do. "There's no bullet in it," she told him.

Valen looked at the gun he was holding and hissed in annoyance.

"But there's a better way to kill him. Do you want to know?"

Valen looked on with interest. He couldn't wait to kill this man.

Davis had no strength to mind the two. He had lost a lot of blood and knows he cannot survive this. So, right now, all he wishes for was a quick death, from a reputable person like Maverick, but unfortunately, he wouldn't be dying with honour. Getting killed by an 'errand dog' like Yellow is bad but at a time like this, where he was suffering, it wouldn't be too bad to manage.

Unfortunately, the 'errant dog' had no time to kill him. "From how fast he is losing blood, If we let him bleed for another five to ten minutes, he will die. That would give him enough time to suffer from the pain of bullet wounds. What do you think?" she explained.

"I like that idea but I want to make him scream, show me that fear in his eyes. I want him to beg for mercy like I told him before now!"

Earlier when Davis hijacked the party, the little guy wanted to look for his mother but Davis' men wouldn't let him. Instead, Davis took him away and said he'd use him as a collateral.

At that moment, the child made a declaration which Davis laughed over.

"I promise, I'll kill you if I can't find my mother! I'll give you a horrifying death, where you'll beg me with horror in your eyes!"
