Chapter 10

Artemis and Zachary left the HQ with Freddie who are tied at the back of their car, it was Zachary who was driving the car while Artemis sat on the front seat, smoking.

Artemis look at the window as she puffs out the smoke, the car is now filled with cigarette smoke. Freddie's eyes fluttered as soon as the smoke come through his nose, his nose wrinkled to the smell of the cigarette.

Artemis notice the movement through the rear-view mirror, she leaned back to the back as she reaches out her hand on his face.

Her hand touch Freddie's face, she tightly squeezed his face with a cold stare at her face.

Freddie's eye suddenly opened as he felt the pain, his vision was half covered by Artemis hand.

Before knocking him out, Artemis raise her hand then slap his face with half of her strength causing his cheek to be beet red and knocking him out.

"That was a nice slap" Zachary compliment Artemis slap as he took a glance at her. Artemis went back to her seat then look at Zachary with a smile on her face.

"You fucking bet it was" Artemis grinned at her brother as she inhales the smoke, Artemis take out the cigarette on her mouth then push the cigarette at the ash bag pouch

After driving, Artemis and Zachary arrive at their house. Zachary park the car on the garage while Artemis got out from the car while she grabs the back collar of Freddie, his body fell on the ground yet Artemis didn't care and still continue to drag him to the door as there are slightly blood trail coming on him.

The servants who pass Artemis stare at the man with hatred on their eyes while the others pity him for messing with the wrong family.

"We're back~" Artemis happily said to their family who are waiting at the living room, William who are chatting with Tom on the couch, look at Artemis and Zachary who was behind her.

"Welcome back" it was Tom who welcome the two, he looks down to see his 'Rival' getting drag by his niece. Tom smile as William stand up from the couch, "Lets go" he said as he took a glance at the trash that Artemis drag.

Audrey who gave a top student aura walk toward Artemis, "We should let him go, Astrid will let him go" she spoke as she nudges Astrid's stomach with a wide grin on her face.

"Tsk" Astrid who looks like a mischievous person, clicks her tongue, seemingly dissatisfied on Audrey's joke. "No, hitting him would be good, like his throat or his knees" Astrid stated in serious manner as he glared at her older twin, opposite from her look.

"Hey! Don't glare at me! Beside I'm sure he'll be dead when we hit him on the knees when he has injuries on his knee, how about we kill him in M-4 or M-16?" Audrey smack Astrid's back as she babbled.

"Wait, why do we have to waste the bullet when we can use the pistol! Right! Then I'll be going now, I need to prepare!" Audrey added as she chattered without letting Zachary, Artemis and Astrid speak then she run toward the hall leaving the three behind.

"She's really goofy huh?" Zachary smile as he let out a sigh, the two nodded in agreement with a wryly smile on their face. "Anyhow, where's Xander?" Artemis ask as she look around, before Astrid could answer her, they heard their father spoke "Come on! Everybody is here now"

Hearing their father's word, Artemis began to drag Freddie while the two walks beside her. "Xander is probably on his room watching some romance movies or his on the basement now" Astrid replied to Artemis's question earlier as they walk together.

---

Freddie slowly opened his eyes, he felt something was wrong when he felt he couldn't move his arms and feet, he was tied on the chair while his mouth was tied with a slightly tight rope.

He suddenly opens his eyes; his eyes widen when he saw a bunch of people at his sight sitting on the couch while the others stand and talk to the others. Only pairs of predator's eyes, looking at their prey.

At this moment, he knew he fuck up

He keeps looking around, wondering where part of their house he is in. he suddenly heard someone clapping in the room, he took a look to who was clapping, it was Emily who was clapping with Ezra beside her.

"Dad can we start now?" Emily asks her dad with a puppy eyes on her face, while Ezra look on his phone with a wide smile on his face.

"I'll go first Uncle! I prepared my Glock 18 and 19 and I also prepared my revolver! But I want to play game, like Russian roulette!" Megan began to blubbered as she took the three handguns on her pocket, Freddie wondered how the fuck that she fit those three handguns on her pocket.

"Don't shot him on the head Audrey, we still haven't played with him" Astrid spoke as hand knife her sister's head. "No! electrocute him! Ezra any suggestion?" Megan nudge Ezra's shoulder who is busy chatting with his boyfriend.

"Hm? Oh! Take all his nails and put it all on the tub of alcohol or cut his hands with my chainsaw" Ezra suggested while acting cute as he looks back to his phone. Elsie and Vania talk together in a peaceful manner while they took a dangerous glance on Freddie every five minutes.

'What. The. Fuck. is going on?! My rival just looks at me without hatred on his eyes when I kidnapped his daughter! While his nieces, nephews and his daughter happily discuss how I will be tortured?!' Freddie was utterly confused at the scene he was looking; it wasn't something he thought when he was tied up in the chair.

"Okay everyone! Before we'll start, we have to bet first okay? 1 million the minimum" William claps his hand, attracting the attention of all people in the room.

[Bam]

There was a sudden bam coming from the door, it was a man who had a calm expression opened the door, wearing a black polo and a white pants.

"Sorry I'm late, I just finished watching romance movie" Xander who had a clam expression when he walks toward the couch, his word was opposite from his look.

"Here, I bet 3 million that he will last for two hours" Xander added as he put the 3 million money on the table, Ezra, Emily and Kayla look at Xander, they wiggle their eyebrow as they look at him with a wide grin "Aw! Baby Xander doesn't like the ending of the romance~" they both said in unison as they tease Xander.

Xander's eye twitch when he heard their tease on him, he reaches out to his back then pull the Sig Sauer P320, he like this gun as because of the textured grip of Sig Sauer P320.

Xander point his gun on Kayla with a wide grin on his face, "I can't lose, can I? it's not like you guys have 1 million"

"Ha! Dude, I have 50 million on my bank account, I'll bet 5 million that he'll last for an hour" Kayla who are Emily's big sister laugh at Xander's statement as she pulls the Glock 18 on her inner legs then point the gun to Xander's face.

Seeing that the two pointed their gun to each other, Emily also too out the gun underneath the couch, she pointed the gun on her big sister. "50? I have 70 million on my account, I'll bet 10 million that he'll last for 2 hours and a half. How's that brother Xander" Emily betted her 10 million money and place a check on the table with full of stack money that Kayla and Xander betted.

Of course, Ezra wouldn't loose to them as he bet 15 million. "15 million betting that he'll last for 30 minutes" he said as he took out the gun below the table then pointed it out to Emily.

"Weak" Suddenly, Vania spoke. "I'll bet 50 million that he'll last for 5 hours" she betted with a wide innocent smile on her face, she put down her 50 million on the table that was full of piling money.

"What?! Mom! I thought I'll be the next one to bet!" Audrey yelled in shock when she heard her mother suddenly betted without her going first.

"Fine! I'll bet 60 million that he'll last for 12 hours!" Audrey slams the 60 million on the table, lucky the table are wide enough to fit all the money.

Audrey took out the gun under the pillow, she pointed it to her mother with a smug on her face. "Oh Honey~ you shouldn't point a gun on your mother~" Vania smile at Audrey, she took out the gun on her waist then point the gun at Audrey.

"Same goes to you!" Audrey responded. Suddenly there's another big pile of money was thrown on the table; it was William who throw 100 million on the table, "I'm betting 100 million that he'll last for 15 hours" he stated with a wide grin on his face, "Hehe, how's that kids!" he evilly laughs as he boasted on his bet while pointing the guns at Vania and Kayla.

Seeing that their dad and uncle betted 100 million, of course they wouldn't lose, they started betting to the point that the table was full of money that some of it fell to floor. The whole family pointed their gun to each other except for Artemis who's sitting on the couch peacefully and still hasn't betted yet.

Artemis waited for all of them to finish betting, she was satisfied when the money is now at 500 million. Artemis raised her head slightly with a smile on her face, she took a check on her pocket and right down the amount of money she wants to bet.

"500 fucking million, I'm betting he can last for a day whether he likes the shit or not" Artemis stated as she took the gun on her back and point the gun on Freddie while leisurely sitting on the couch, she throws the check on the top of the piling money.

'What the fuck?! Betting?! Do they have a fucking screw loose?!' Freddie thought as he listens to their conversation although, deep inside he wanted to join the bet to take the 1 billion.

The room was full of cheers and booing as the other's celebrate of Artemis betting 500 million while the others boo for Artemis betting a little money.

"Let's start, now shall we?" William claps his hand, attracting all of the people's attention. "Emily should go first right~?" Tom spoke with a smile on his face, Emily's eyes sparkle as soon as her father's word enter to her ears.

"Yaaay~" Emily put down her gun, she happily walks toward the other door. After a while, Emily exits the door with a wooden baseball bat on her hand and an aluminum bat on her other hand.

Freddie's eyes widen in terror, although he had done something against the law in his entire life but it's been a really long time he felt being tortured since all he'd do was order his underlings to do the killing or other thing for him.

Emily slowly walks toward him with a wide smile on her face, she put down her aluminum bat on the floor while raising her baseball bat up. On Freddie's view, he could only see her as a big predator ready to hunt her prey. He started wiggling on chair, trying to break the tight rope on his feet and hands.

"Too late Freddie Madron~" on the corner of his eyes, he saw and heard Artemis chilling word. There it was really too late when he felt massive pain on his knee.

[Bam]

Emily swings the bat vertically, hitting Freddie's knee with great impact. the sound of breaking something echoed to the whole room and was soon followed by muffled scream.

Emily soon let go the wooden bath with a [thud], she then took the aluminum bat. Emily raises the bat, she slowly hit his neck but stop as soon as it was few inches away from his neck.

Freddie's face was full of sweat as he almost wet himself, his leg that was hit by the bat kept shaking. Emily removes the bat to his neck, she raised it again before swinging it again vertically to the other knees.

Artemis felt a vibration on her pocket, she took her phone out to her pocket to see who was calling. It was her secretary from her aunt's company that will be hers in the future, Artemis answer the call with Freddie's muffle scream due to the others hitting him.

"Hello?" Artemis spoke in a cold voice; a gun shot was heard on Artemis background causing the secretary to slightly flinch on the other side of the phone.

"Good afternoon President Foster, CEO Fox has been informed me to informed you about your incoming meeting" her secretary informed Artemis as she ignores the background noises.

"Got it, move it to Tuesday 10 am" Artemis replied shortly to her secretary, her secretary could clear hear the muffled screaming and cheering on the background.

"Understood President Foster" her Secretary stated as she ignored the background noises. Artemis hang up the call, she looks at Freddie who are all beaten up with gunshots on her arm and leg.

One of the private doctors went toward him and began to wrap his leg with cloth after taking out the bullet right here in the room.

"See, he wouldn't even last for an hour! Alright I won!" it was Walter who spoke, Emily and Ezra suddenly look at Walter with disbelief in their eyes.

"What?! No! I'm going to win!" the yelled in unison, they both look at each other and gave a glare. "I'll win this" Artemis confidently stated as she stands up from the sit.

Artemis took her gun out, she pointed it to Freddie's toes. Artemis coldly look at Freddie as she walks forward towards him, Freddie was terrified to Artemis's pressure that she was releasing. So terrified that he pisses himself, "Pufft! An old man like you piss himself because of me?" Artemis let out a laugh as she mocks him as she accidentally uses British accent, her eyes narrowed in delight as she saw his terrified look.
