Is this destiny?

Chapter 1388 - Found A New Base For The Army Of Chaos

Aiden hit Akmal's pressure points so that he can't move or talk and put him into a seated position so that he can watch what is going on in the room. Watching helplessly without being able to do anything is a fitting punishment for this scoundrel.

Meili watched with her eyes open wide as Aiden handled Akmal like a chicken, moving him around without much effort.

"What is going to happen to me?" Meili asked in a shaky voice.

Aiden's moves and display of strength made Maili nervous. If he can toss Akmal like that, he can hurt her as well. 

Sarah understood that Meili is anxious. Considering what she went through, it's no wonder that the girl is petrified.

Sarah took the light blanket from the bed and wrapped it around Meili while answering: "First, we will get you out of here. And then we will figure out the rest. For now, sit and try to stay calm."

"Are you going to save the other girls?", Meili asked timidly.

Sarah was surprised that even though Meili is scared, she is thinking about others. As much as Sarah would like to go down and storm the place, if they do it without a plan, they are risking that the girls (or them) will be hurt. "We need to ensure that this place is safe. By morning, they will be free. Do you know how many girls are down there?"

Meili shook her head helplessly, indicating that she does not know. "It's more than one room. I was with eleven others."

"Don't worry about it. Eleven or a hundred. We will save them all.", Sarah assured her.

Sarah contacted the base of the army of Chaos in Las Vegas and spoke with Ernesto, the corporal who is in charge of the Las Vegas unit. She requested all available members to come, ready for an attack. The mission is to seize the area, and it will involve engaging armed hostile units and a hostage situation.

Ernesto was audibly excited when he heard that Nyx and Erebus are taking part in this mission. He never worked with the Gods so far!

Akmal listened to Sarah's conversation with a mix of fear and disgust. How dares that woman talk about taking over the area? Akmal's blood froze for a moment when he heard Sarah's words: "…Remind everyone who is coming of our rules in battle: If they flee, let them go. If they resist, break their limbs. If they attack, kill…"

She was about to end her talk with Ernesto, when she remembered. "Bring two sets of clothes and two masks. One for me and one for Erebus."

When Aiden heard this, he smiled and nodded in approval. He can't wait for Sarah to get out of the clothes another man was wearing.

Next, Sarah called Noah and instructed him to send thirty men to the Akmal's mansion.

Akmal frowned when he heard Sarah say that members who arrive from the main base (in Los Angeles) need to bring their things and supplies because they got a location with living quarters, and it will become one of their permanent bases.

Akmal could not believe this. First, seizing the area, and now they are bringing personal belongings and supplies? Are they planning to stay here? This is his mansion!

Sarah didn't pay attention to Akmal. She was busy talking to Noah: "...I expect them to be here in three hours. Send now people who are ready to switch bases, and at a later time, you can swap them if you believe that someone else is more suitable. The mansion will need staff as well. I will leave arrangements to you…"

While Sarah spoke with Ernesto and Noah, Aiden was vigilant. He was watching the bodyguards' movements, ensuring that they are not discovered by accident. Their current location is safe because Akmal's bodyguards believe that their boss is having his way with Meili in this room, and they don't want to disturb him, but you can never be too careful.

Meili curled up on the sofa and observed Sarah and Aiden in silence while trying to understand her current situation. The fact that Akmal is in the same room made her uncomfortable.

"How many people is Ernesto sending?" Aiden asked Sarah when she ended the call with Noah.

"Fifteen people and ten drones."

Aiden approved. "That will be enough. They can take care of the outside, and we will handle inside…"

Akmal was unable to move or talk, but he could see and hear everything. He does not know who these two are or how they got here, but the most important thing for him was to get out of his predicament. The fact that Sarah and Aiden are openly talking about taking over his mansion and using it as a base is unsettling. It can mean one of the two: either they are bluffing, or they have no intention of letting him out of here alive. A second later, Akmal was confident that they are bluffing. How can these two overpower all his men?

Akmal was furious that he is facing a woman. Based on everything he saw, Sarah is in charge, and that fact is unbearable for Akmal, who believes that women are below men.

Sarah turned to Akmal, who is glaring at her. "It seems that you have something you want to say…"

Aiden got Sarah's hint and tapped Akmal at the base of his throat.

As soon as Akmal realized that he could talk again, he asked angrily: "What do you think you are doing?"

"You heard me talk to my people. Do I need to repeat?", Sarah responded smugly.

"You can't take my villa."

"Dead people don't need a place to stay." Sarah's crazed gaze directed at Akmal told him that she is not joking. 

Akmal looked at Sarah and Aiden. "Who are you, people?"

Sarah turned to Aiden with a pout. "It seems that our reputation is not strong enough, so he does not know."

"We are not dressed for the occasion.", Aiden reminded Sarah that they are not wearing their uniforms, so even if Akmal knows about the Army of Chaos, he would not know that Sarah and Aiden are connected to it.

Sarah agreed with Aiden and turned to Akmal. "You don't need to know who we are, but you should know that you messed with the wrong people."

"How did I mess with you?" Akmal hissed. He might be unable to move, but the hatred in his eyes is there whenever he looks at Sarah.

"Do you remember a poker tournament a year ago? Many good things slipped through your fingers… including a Bugatti Divo. And you were so angry about losing that you decided to get your henchmen and to ambush the girl who won it all…"

Sarah saw that Akmal's eyes widened, and he looked at her in disbelief.

"It was you?" Akmal said under his breath. It took him a few seconds to recover. "You would not dare hurt me. Do you think that these men are all that I have? If anything happens to me, there will be consequences…"

Sarah hit him at the base of his throat to stop him from talking. She could not listen anymore. "Keep your mouth shut. You will get your chance to talk later."

Sarah plans to secure the area, release the girls, and then to interrogate Akmal and anyone with rank from Akmal's security with the help of the truth serum. Only like that, she can have confidence that Akmal is not playing tricks on her. And whatever Akmal has of any value, they will keep it. That is how the Army of Chaos works.

Sarah saw that Meili is curled up on the sofa and nervously clutching the blanket Sarah draped around her shoulders previously. Sarah went to sit next to her. "Our men will be here in fifteen minutes. There will be some commotion, but after that, it will be over."

"Will you stay with me?" Meili asked.

As much as Sarah wants to stay with Meili, there is no way she is letting Aiden go down there by himself. They will have drones, and the reinforcements from the Army of Chaos will arrive as well, but if there is one thing Sarah is not willing to risk, that is Aiden's safety. Sarah was too close to losing Aiden, and she is not ready to go through that again, and she never will be.

"No. I need to save others. Until we are back, don't leave this room. You can watch over him.", Sarah gestured toward Akmal. "He can't move or talk, so he can't hurt you…"

Meili's gaze moved toward Aiden. She wanted to ask if he will stay with her, but she stopped herself because she already knew the answer.

Aiden saw that Meili is watching him and he didn't show any visible reaction. He cleared his throat to get Sarah's attention. "Other than our troops arriving soon, he also mentioned two buyers."

"Oh, I forgot about that.", Sarah admitted. She was thinking to give the truth serum to Akmal right away, but then she got another idea… "Let's check his phone. If he has customers, there must be an appointment."
