I watched the CCTV footages as I sat in my office, not of the club Ryan was killed in, but of the cars and people arriving and leaving in that specific time when my little brother was killed.

I gave the screen a smirk.

No doubt he did a good job by getting rid of all the evidence inside the club but the street footages belong to the government.

"I knew it could only be him." My eyes travelled to my half-sister while she stood near the window, "No one else could ever be this bold." She looked at me, "You're going to retaliate aren't you? He killed our brother."

I nodded my head and picked up my phone from the desk to dial a number, "Send me someone." I asked my secretary, Nia, "I need to send him out."

"Where to?" 

"He won't be coming back."

"... Okay. I'll send someone in." I looked at Liana, "Happy?"

She smirked, "Very"

It was quite amusing to know that the slaves Arius had were not actually slaves and one of them turned into his lover.

But now that we had attacked his woman. 

It meant that we had declared war on them.

After all, it would look real stupid if we let the other party run free after they've killed a family member.

We will be ones who will be mocked.

By the time night falls, we'll be prepared for the attack.

"Send out the east gate gang for the first attack."

I ordered my men.

Darkness had consumed the sky and it was time for a hellish show.

A clash between two families like ours could never be stopped by anyone, not the police, not the people and well the government doesn't even count because we're provind for them.

After short intervals I received news about the fights and how the enemy was invading in.

Unlike fights in the past, killing off people in modern area is too easy. Precisely the reason why you lose so many people.

When I heard about the deaths I suddenly thought about the whole thing all over again.

In the back of my mind I knew Ryan was at fault but I couldn't just let things be, not after Arius killed him.

As midnight struck Liana came running in my room.

"Derulo!!" She was pale and terrified, "Eren's gone!!"

It felt as if someone swapped out the floor beneath, "What do you mean Eren's gone?!! Everyone was in one room heavily guarded."

"All the guards are dead!!"

"What…?"

"I don't know what happened!? I-I" I noticed someone right behind her.

"Who are you?!" I glared at him. Liana shot her head back too.

He was a sturdy looking man, sharp eyes and defined features.

"The Alucard wants to bargain." He said.

"Excuse me? With what possible thing can he bargain?!" I quietly grabbed my gun.

"Your son."

"Eren?" How can Arius have Eren? That's impossible.

I flinched when my phone suddenly started ringing. I glanced at it.

A video call from Arius?

I shot my eyes back at the man standing in the doorframe.

"Pick it up. I will not move."

"Hi dad!" It was Eren, sitting on Arius's lap, unaware of the danger he was in.

"Hey!" I tried my best to sound enthusiastic.

Arius moved the camera to himself, "May I ask for some of your precious time?"

He was being sarcastic.

I gritted my teeth but sat down, "Go ahead."
