CHAPTER 10

A DEATH TRAP

At Victor Kuznetsov command, Paul his assistant and the few bodyguards with him, followed him to climb up the mountain. With him are ten bodyguards,all retired special forces with incredible combat skill. None weaker than the other. Even the seemly uneasy assistant is a trained talented martial artist.

Victor Kuznetsov? Heh! He's more skilled than them. Reason why he's so calm as a lake in a deadly situation.

Up the mountain,Malcolm is seen sipping tea with a calm and calculating look. He seems to be a little bit thrilled. Lost in his thoughts. I wonder how high my rank will be when I kill Victor Kuznetsov.

All the other bosses in the organization will be envious of me. I will be wallowing in wealth by then.

Why is this arrogant Kuznetsov young master not here yet? Did he discover our plan? That is impossible,with his reputation,even if he discovered it is a trap he will still show up. Unless the rumour of his fearlessness is fake.

Ah, let's wait a little more,he thought.

But at this moment, Victor Kuznetsov and his subordinates have already made it to the top of the mountain.

"Well,well,see who we have here,the esteemed young master of the Kuznetsov family," Malcolm spoke up with an amused expression,but the coldness emanating from his eyes could not be hidden.

Victor Kuznetsov looked at him with a calm expression scanning the area with his eyes and sharp hearing. At the top of the mountain are other ancient buildings beside the hut with a vast field and different kinds of threes planted. He is quite surprised at how fertile the mountain top is. He carefully marked the area the killing intents are coming from. Five at the top of the trees,ten hidden in the buildings,and five are disguised as maids serving Malcolm. 

"Tsk...You really went to great lengths to have me here," Victor Kuznetsov couldn't help but break the silence with his words,a chuckle escaping from his lips as he sits down.

Meanwhile his subordinates are on high alert, including Paul.

They discovered all the killers at the top of the mountain are fully armed with snipers. The situation is quite tricky and it will be hard to escape without a careful planning.

Victor Kuznetsov sat down while the disguised killers served him tea. With a calm gaze he looked at Malcolm while he swirl the tea inside the cup,not taking a sip.

"What, you think I poisoned the tea? I don't kill in such a lame way. Don't be scared,take a sip, it's a good tea and this might be your last time having it," Malcolm said trying to sound friendly,but his words drips cruelty.

"Let's go straight to business," Victor Kuznetsov said with a cold tone. "I'm here because of the message you sent. According to the text,you seem to know who killed my parents. Spill it! I don't have time to waste on you chit chatting."

"You really have some balls, talking fearlessly in my turf!" Malcolm thundered with a dangerous gaze directed at Victor Kuznetsov.

But Victor Kuznetsov is unfazed by his gaze. "Old man,my time is precious to me, every minute of it. And at your age you shouldn't be someone who goes back on their words. You clearly brought me here because you want to tell me who killed my parents right?" Victor Kuznetsov uttered with a calm tone.

"Fine!"Malcolm was clearly pissed off, especially when he heard the word old man from Victor Kuznetsov lips. He was clearly just fifty and this dead young man is trying to make him look old. "Let me tell you why your parents were killed and who is behind their death,after all,you won't leave here alive!"

Victor Kuznetsov chuckled with a cold glint on his eyes but didn't say a word.

Malcolm continued,"Your parents were once members of the Red Vipers. I should say they were the founders. They founded the group with a clear goal of training assassin's to kill evil people in place of power. And the organization went on smoothly for years,eliminating evil and tyrannical men in power. Not untill when they planned to kill an evil government official,who was rumoured to be a trafficker of young girls from different countries which he uses as sex slaves for money. 

He was quite a powerful figure whom your parents underestimated. Let's say,they overestimated him and sent their second in command to kill him. But he came back with wounds all over his body and lied that he failed the mission and barely escaped. Because your parents trusted him so much they didn't see anything wrong with him. Clearly,he was bought off by that official,no one knows what deal they made . But the next day your parents were killed brutally by the man they trusted. He was able to kill them because they trusted him and loose their guard."

At this moment, Victor Kuznetsov was so angry that he clenched his fist. Seeing this,Paul quickly went ahead to give him a reassuring pat on his shoulder.

"Heh! Can't take it anymore?" Malcolm taunted,"well I'm done talking,as for who killed them, that's my boss for sure! Nobody has seen what he looks like, because he's always with a mask. How powerful my boss is,that even at the door of death you can't know who he is! 

Time up, it's time for you to die Victor Kuznetsov," Malcolm uttered in a chilling tone.

"Oslo!"

"Yes boss!" Oslo replied from the ear piece. He's clearly hiding in a corner with the ear piece as a means of communicating with the boss.

"Shoot!"Malcolm ordered his voice dripping with menace and eyes clouded with killing intents...
