Chapter 285 - 117: Lewis's Death(3)

Morgana arrived at the top floor of the house, the big boss private office, she opened the door to the office and found that the private office is empty. Morgana look around looking for a sign or an opening but she couldn't find any. She then asks the system to scan the whole place to look for the secret door forgetting that she has a telex-eyes that she can use to find any hidden opening or door.

Ding,... Host, there is an opening on that wall near the sofa, you can open it by lifting the flower pot beside it. The system said guiding Morgana on how to open the secret door.

Morgana walked over to the said flower pot and lifted it up, a part of the wall opened up revealing a small secret room. Inside, the big boss is standing watching the news on the television. He looks at Morgana calmly as if he was expecting her to come.

The big boss of the dark organization: You came..... Are you the one sent by my superior to kill me??? Lewis asks looking at Morgana.

Lewis, an old man who worked for the government almost his entire life, serving the country. He is not trained to kill, he only uses his brain to lead his people and command them to do as it pleases him, he is not a bad guy, he used to be an honest man serving his country. But when his wife and his son died, he loses everything, he became a ruthless person. His wife and son died in a car accident instigated by people who are jealous of him, he is the one who supposed to die in that car accident, that time, he is supposed to drive the car that his wife and his son used to go to the clinic for his wife and son's monthly check-up but something came up, with no other choice his wife drive the car to the clinic, on their way there the car explodes killing his wife and his son on the spot. Fortunately, his daughter, Gretchen was with nanny Maria in the park that day and didn't go with her wife to the clinic, if not, even his daughter would have died that day with his wife and his son.

The case of the death of his wife and son remained frozen until this day, the FBI officials released a report that the caused of the car's explosion is caused by a C-4 bomb and the terrorists are responsible for it. Lewis thought otherwise, he knows that someone in the Parliament causes his wife and his son's death. That person is aiming to kill him, sadly, the plan to eliminate him failed, instead, it kills both his wife and son.

Since then, Lewis becomes the puppet of that person, because he wanted to avenge the death of his wife and son and make the government pay for not helping him put the person behind it in jail.

***************

Morgana: yes, I am the one who was sent by your superior to kill you, but I didn't have a plan to do it. Instead, I am going to help you get away from here, so, please cooperate with me if you don't want to die. Morgana said acknowledging the man's question.

Lewis: but why??? Why would you help me??? If you save me, you will be haunted by the members of the dark forces, you won't be able to get your money and it will put your life in danger. What good is it to you??? Did someone paid you a much better price??? Even so, saving me will not do you good.

Ah, I don't care about money, I just want to save you. The reason why is not irrelevant right now, I must save you first before I tell you the reason. Morgana said as she took a puppet mask inside her backpack and handed it to Lewis.

What's this??? A mask??? Do you think it can really help me??? Lewis said looking at the puppet masks in his hand.

Just wear it and you will see, hurry up they are coming up now. Morgana said urging Lewis to wear the puppet masks and to hurry up so that they can leave the place before the soldiers and the men from the dark forces arrived.

Lewis put the masks on without bothering to look at himself in the mirror, he then follows Morgana out of the room to his private office. Once they were out of his private office and was about to go to the private lift at the end corner of the hall, the lift at the other end open, there came out Alexander and his men. They saw Morgana and Lewis whom they didn't recognize because of the puppet masks that he is wearing.

Hey, you!!! Stop!!! Where are you going??? and where is Lewis??? Alexander asks as he and his men pointed his gun at Lewis and Morgana who are both standing near the door to the private office.

Lewis frowned hearing Alexander's words, he touched his face with his hand and was shocked to find that the contour of his face change. His face and his body's transformation was so great that no one recognized him.

Seeing his reactions, Morgana smiled and put Lewis behind her as she said to Lewis.

Be careful, that guy is here to kill you. He is the one who is going to replace you once you are dead. Morgana said to Lewis's ears in a low voice.

What??? Lewis said, feeling dazed. He felt horrible thinking that the man he trusted with his secret is the one who is going to kill and replace him. Alexander is willing to forget everything that he did for him to get to where he is right now just to have his position in the dark organization.

Beside him, Morgana lifted the gun in her hand as she back away from Alexander and his men with Lewis behind her. They both move to step backward to the waiting elevator while Morgana holds her gun and pointed it on Alexander and his men.

Alexander and his men can't move to attack Lewis and Morgana seeing that Morgana is holding a high caliber Remington gun and aiming it at them.

Wait up, where is Lewis? I don't have bad blood with you, so why are you pointing your Remington gun at us??? Alexander said feeling a bit pressured and annoyed at Morgana's actions.

Why???? You're the one who pointed your gun at me first??? I only acted on the impulse to protect myself and my cousin. Morgana said lying through her teeth.

Where is Lewis??? You can leave here as long as you tell me where Lewis is???? Alexander retorted still looking at Morgana and her Remington gun.
