The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 260

I wondered who the kidnappers were and how they reached him.

He was a significant man in the north, and taking his son was a strong move.

I did not know his family very well, so I made a mental note to better get to know the Alphas and their family members.

"How did they reach you?" I asked him, and he took out his phone, checked some things, and handed it over to me.

"That is how," he said, and I was stunned.

It was video footage of Liam Bricks, the same Liam Bricks I had extradited from the west and had locked up in a dungeon at the estate. The very Liam Bricks working for the uprising. The same man that accepted the money transfer that I could trace. The bloody traitor.

In this footage, he was tied to the chair in silver chains. I could tell it was silver because his wound was bleeding.

"So they sent you this footage?" I asked him, and he nodded.

"What did they tell you they would do?" I asked, and he took his phone from me and showed me an email.

"If you do not raise and support that petition, we won't only kill him, but we will come for the rest of your family," it read, and I was surprised.

"Did they take your wife?" I asked him, and he shook his head.

"Those people were different. They just wanted money," He said, and I realised he had to choose between his wife and his son, but I knew that the video of his son was acted out because his son was one of them.

I planned on keeping that information to myself.

The group was a lot worse than I thought.

Picking Gezel up was very important now. I needed to drill Liam to know how deep he was in the organisation.

"So you had to choose between your mate and your son," I asked, and he shook his head.

"I could come up with that money they asked for, but I realised I was a traitor when I spoke to you at the game. You do not deserve what they wanted to do to you, and my colleagues could not come up with their ransoms. I decided to gamble and let Liam go for the sake of peace," He said, and I could see the resolve in his eyes.

I could also feel his loyalty and the depth of his determination. He must have thought about it hard before making up his mind.

"You have done well because your son is part of a criminal group planning an uprising. Their headquarters is in Gad, and we are trying to trace him because he received a huge sum of money a few weeks ago," I told him, not wanting him to know I had him in custody.

The man gasped in disbelief, and so did Inkabod and the other alphas.

"How are you sure?" He asked me, and I checked my phone to pull up the email with Liam's ID. I showed him, and he was speechless.

"You are the lead Alpha of the north; it was the best and fastest way to push their agenda," I told him and collected my phone.

The man had tears in his eyes.

"Liam Bricks?" He said in disbelief, and I knew there was more to the story because his last name wasn't Bricks.

"The petition stated that the council leader would be head of the council, which is the only seat that would not be decided via election. Could it be that the council leader is involved? Because I found that clause baffling," Christain asked; I smiled and shook my head.

"It is a norm. In the case of democracy, the council will vote for who will occupy the top seat, and they will have to choose the top five families. The Volkovs, Sidorovs, Orlovs, Balyaevs and Lawrences. It can be either of us. The current council leader might not be the leader in the end. I think they are after something and need us out of the way. Right now, everything goes through me. Imagine what would happen in that type of setting," I said, and his eyes showed understanding.

"Well, Kappa Levi is on the case, and your mates will be found and returned to you; meanwhile, when I catch your son, I will let you know so you can question him. I won't release him to you because he has committed treason. Am I clear?" I asked him, and he nodded.

"His ID says he is twenty-two. How old is he?" I asked him, knowing there was no way Christain would have a twenty-two-year-old son, and that guy did not look it.

"He is seventeen, my lord; he just turned seventeen," Christian said. I could not believe the organisation was recruiting minors. Whoever was running this thing was desperate. Somehow I believe the arrest of Gezel would shed some light on the matter.
