chapter 280
Dimitri had become a raging lunatic who didn’t want to hear anything. Whether or not to believe what Kira had just told him was no longer his top priority, but he wanted to attack Finn to make him understand that for something he wasn’t sure about, he had no right to kidnap Kira before he told him. he thought he’d been very kind to him and it was time he made him understand things. When Dimitri was ready, he left the room without glancing at Youri, for he had just realized that Youri didn’t want to support him for some reason he didn’t yet know, and he intended to find out why later. He still remembered the moment when this girl had arrived at the manor, and Youri had been the only one to care about her even when he was on the other side of the world, so her new behavior intrigued him so much. When he found his men in the courtyard, he asked them to get into the cars and when he too wanted to do the same, Youri appeared, shaking his head from side to side. He didn’t understand why he was telling him not to, and this wasn’t even the time for him to listen.
-You’re going to regret this, Dimitri. You’re going to regret what you’ve done and now you’re telling yourself you’re doing it for Kira, but she’s going to hate you if you do. I also know you’re underestimating Finn Martinov, but this man, I’ve already seen him in action and I know he’s already waiting for you with bated breath. he could hurt her.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
-And I’ll make him pay for it tenfold,” replied Dimitri abruptly.
-Did you think about what Kira told you? She told you that the girl Finn is looking for is his cousin and that she needs your help to find her too, so why not consider helping her instead of going to war?
-Because now you’ve got the heart of a nun, Yuri? I’d like to point out that you’re a member of the mafia and know exactly how things work here. What makes you think he didn’t force her to say that this girl is his cousin? After all, Martinov is a businessman who knows that he has enemies everywhere, and that’s why he’s learned all the mafia methods for taming his victims. I’m not going to fall into that kind of trap, believe me. It’ll be without me this time, my dear.
Even if Dimitri remained his boss, it was time he understood that even if he had always made the right decisions for the future of his network, it was time he understood that he was about to make a serious mistake. His annoyance was clearly intended to make him understand that, no matter how hard he tried, he wasn’t going to listen, but he wanted to try so he wouldn’t have any remorse when things got out of hand at Martinvo. Kira was there, and that was also the main reason why he was so determined to convince Dimitri.
-Today, you’re acting like a man in love, not like a rational man who takes the time to sort out all the pieces of the puzzle to find the missing one; the proof is that Finn Martinov is perfectly right to accuse you, and you know why. Krouto came to you for help with a certain kidnapping and you didn’t refuse. I decided to help him because you told me to judge for myself and so far, we don’t know who this person is he wanted to kidnap. our men did the job and I think it was with one of our service cars. you know Martinov knows a lot about technology and research, he managed to find that the car’s license plate belonged to you so here’s the link. you’re the one who kidnapped this girl and to pay you back, Finn kidnapped Kira and now he’s given you a limited amount of time to find this young woman who is apparently Kira’s cousin by some link I don’t yet know about. instead of going to Martinov’s house to play the strongman, I think you’d be better off rounding up your men to find those who took part in this kidnapping in order to bring the young woman back.
everything was becoming clear in Dimitri’s head now. he hadn’t thought it could be that, and going to war against him when he’d done nothing always provoked reprisals. he thanked his right-hand man inwardly for sparing him from this mistake, because otherwise he’d regret it. He could have asked Krouto in advance the reason for this abduction, because he knew the man was a DM and he knew Finn would never forgive him if Krouto had touched this girl. he had to act quickly. he asked his men that those who had done the job meet him in the hall. it was time to clear everything up.
-You helped Krouto kidnap a young woman and I’d like to know where she’s been taken.
-we don’t really know because he arranged to meet us in an alley where he put the girl in another vehicle and told his driver to leave her in the usual place, so we don’t know where. we did our part of the job and that was that.
all of a sudden, things were getting out of hand again and Dimitri had no room for error. he had to find out where Krouto’s hideout was before things got out of hand. he remembered Krouto junior, who had to be the one to lead him to his father. he motioned to Youri to follow him. Once they were settled in the car, they set off for Krouto’s son’s house. Once parked at the bottom of his building, Youri thought it would be preferable for him to be the one to get there, otherwise Dimitri might kill him before he had time to tell them what they were there for.
-I think you should go Dimitri, you could wait for me there.
-I’m coming with you because I’m the author of this story and now I’m going upstairs to sort it out, so you stay here and wait for me.
Yuri nodded, because in any case, he had no choice but to obey her. When the elevator left him on the kid’s floor, he hurried out and went to his door, where he didn’t have time to knock at all, so he gave the lock a little shot and the situation was settled. when he entered, he saw him still in the same position as last time. He didn’t have time to waste, so he made his presence felt, and when he was finally able to separate himself from the girl, Dimitri realized it wasn’t the same one he’d seen last time.
-I did everything you said, sir, I didn’t go near her and…” began Anton, his voice trembling.
-I know perfectly well that you didn’t go near him, and that’s not why I’m here. You’re going to take me to your father’s hideout, where he practices SM.
-You’re mistaken, sir, my father doesn’t do that at all and…
-One more lie and I’ll cut off your limb so you won’t have to follow in your father’s footsteps. Now I want to know where this place is, and if you’re slow about it, maybe I’ll start with you and work my way up to your father.
Anton nodded negatively as Dimitri loaded his pistol before his eyes. In the Krouto family, secrecy was something never to be betrayed, but here he had no choice but to hand his father over to the terrifying mobster.
-At first glance, it looks like a farm, but it’s not.
-you can go on doing what you were doing.
He knew that if his father returned alive, he’d die, and if his father died, he’d die too. No more Krouto power, and no more bragging on campus that I was the son of the country’s finance minister. It was all over for Anton.
