Chapter 718: The Mastermind

Six and Fourth entered the interrogation room, dragging a man with them. The man who was being restrained by them was surprised to see Bishop.

He didn't expect that his leader would be caught like this. He thought they were busy doing the other mission assigned to them by Mr. Miller.

That expression didn't escape from the observant eyes of Uno. He could tell that the two men knew each other.

'It seems that young master Tristan is right. The incidents that happened to his wife and his brother were connected. Same mastermind," Uno thought to himself, observing Bishop and his underling.

"Fourth, bring the man to one of our underground prisons," Uno commanded him.

Fourth nodded as a response before following his order. Six assisted Fourth as they escorted the man to the underground prison where the other culprits were being detained.

In the interrogation room, the truth serum finally took effect. Bishop already lost his focus and his vision became blurry. 

He was in a state between falling asleep and staying awake. His thinking process slowed down a little bit.

Dos tapped Uno when he noticed that Bishop was already in his twilight zone, halfway between conscious and unconscious. Soon, Bishop became more chatty and disinhibited.

Uno started throwing several questions to Bishop, wherein he answered every question.

"Who hired you to kidnap Andrew Davis and Alveena Sy? Why did you do it? What are your plans?"

Bishop started answering Uno without thinking. He was not in his clear mind to hide the truth. Dos and Fifth smiled triumphantly as his newly developed truth serum was very effective.

"The Millers… he is our Big Boss. He wanted to avenge his daughter. Andrew betrayed his daughter and now she is suffering in the hospital while Andrew Davis is enjoying his life together with his new girl, Alveena Sy."

Uno was taken aback when he heard that. He was aware that the Davis Family and the Miller Family ended their longtime friendship recently. 

But he didn't expect that Mr. Miller would resort to this kind of thing just to get even at Andrew.

"We were ordered to kidnap them and ask for ransom money. 2 Billion in exchange for these two. Our Boss wanted to use the money as company funds for Miller's company. The Millers suffered financially when Heavenly Star pulled out their investments."

"If that is your purpose, then why did you try to rape Alveena Sy?" Fifth asked Bishop. He loathed men who were forcing themselves on women, taking advantage of them.

"You even tried to record it!" He added, showing him the video recorder he found inside the warehouse.

Fifth learned what happened inside the warehouse. He watched the first part of the recording. He saw how they tried to rape Alveena and record it using the video cam.

Fifth had the urge to beat Bishop but he tried to control himself. Uno ordered them not to touch them because the Davis Brothers, Tristan and Andrew, were the ones to decide about the fate of those men.

"Alveena Sy, she's an alluring woman. Of course, who would not like to touch and taste someone like her?" Bishop said truthfully.

Fifth was about to punch him when Dos grabbed his hand, thus stopping him. Uno also signaled Fifth to behave. He could only step back and clenched his fists in annoyance.

'I hope Young Master Tristan and Andrew will punish you later once they come here.'

"Mr. Miller especially ordered us to do it and ruin that woman's reputation by taking advantage of her in front of Andrew. With that, both of them would have suffered not only physically but also emotionally and mentally," Bishop confessed to them.

Uno narrowed his eyes upon hearing that. They were indeed evil and despicable to do that. 

'The Davis family will not forgive the Millers for this,' Uno mumbled to himself. He could already imagine Grandpa Lu's reaction including his grandsons' reaction once they learned this truth.

"Are you also responsible for the accident that happened to Tristan's wife, Lillie Davis?" Uno asked him again.

Bishop didn't deny it. He admitted it right away, informing them that they tampered with the brake of Zhen-Zhen's car that day.

He also informed that Mr. Miller wanted to kill Zhen-Zhen and her unborn twins, creating an accident that would cause a miscarriage.

Uno also learned something about Mr. Miller's involvement with the underworld organizations. He also had some illegal activities, dealing with the other syndicates to support his company and increase their family's wealth.

Uno asked Tres to investigate further and gather information about Mr. Miller's past. Uno was satisfied since he got every answer he wanted.

Now, he summoned the other members in the conference room. He already came up with a plan in mind on how they would deal with Mr. Miller. He also considered Tristan's suggestion.

Every member of the Fiery Eagles was now gathered in the conference room except Zero. They were now having a team meeting at this hour. It was already 3:30 am and they were supposed to be sleeping by now but they had to wrap this up quickly.

"Here is the plan…"

Everyone's attention was focused on him.

"Six and Fourth, we need you to reenact the scene. Fifth will record it and Tres will enhance the video by editing it. We will make it look like those scumbags succeeded in their mission."

"Tres, make sure to copy Bishop's voice. We will use it as we contact Mr. Miller. We will pretend that we are the kidnappers as well, asking the Sy Family for ransom money."

"Through this, Mr. Miller will believe that his plan succeeded. After that, we will wait for Master Lu, and his grandsons' decision about what they want to do against the Miller Family."

The rest of the team agreed with the plan. They already prepared everything. Six and Fourth prepared the room and the props they needed. They would deceive Mr. Miller by sending him a fake video.

With Tres's ability, she could easily edit the video, changing their faces and creating some effects, making it look like a real thing that happened.

"Damn! Our Leader really has a unique idea. I feel like we are shooting a film. Haha, we are the main characters in the movie!" Fifth couldn't help but blurt out in excitement.

Among the members of the Fiery Eagles, Fifth was the most talkative. Dos could only shake his head helplessly.

It did not take long when the members of the Fiery Eagle reenacted the scene that happened in the warehouse. Uno recorded it and Tres stayed awake just editing the video.

It was already 5:00 in the morning when she was done with her task. She yawned and stretched her hands before clicking the send button.

Tres sent the video to Mr. Miller using his phone number. She put a special security system along with the video so that other people would not be able to see and access it, aside from Mr. Miller. She would make sure to delete the video after they were done with it.

Her lips curled up into a satisfied smile when the video was sent successfully.

"Hmm, Now… It's my turn to sleep," Tres mumbled before shutting down her laptop and proceeding to her room.

~ At the Miller's Residence ~

Mr. Miller woke up at around 6:00 am. His wife stayed at the hospital, watching over Hannah.

He picked up his phone at his bedside table. He wondered why Bishop didn't give him any update last night. 

He was about to get his burner phone inside his drawer when he noticed that he had a message on his mobile phone.

He frowned when he saw an unregistered number. When he opened the message he learned that the number was owned by Bishop, his right-hand man.

[ Boss, this is me, Bishop. Attached here is the copy of the video you asked me to do. We will contact the Sy and the Davis Family today and demand for money. My phone got destroyed when Andrew tried to fight us last night. You can contact me through this number. ]

Mr. Miller finally smiled after reading the content of the message. He thought it came from Bishop, but in fact, it was from Tres.

Mr. Miller excitedly clicked the video to see what happened last night.

In the video, he saw Andrew being tied down in the chair while Alveena was being pinned down on the table. Two men were restraining her hands.

Andrew was screaming, telling Bishops and his comrade not to touch Alveena.

"I will kill you! I will kill you! Don't you dare touch her!"

But Bishop just ignored Andrew as he began tearing Alveena's clothes.

"No! Go away! Go away! Don't touch me!" Alveena was trying to struggle in the video, also screaming.

Mr. Miller was smiling triumphantly after watching the whole video. He felt like he already got his revenge for his beloved daughter.
