His Devious Rule



When Casper ended the call, Anya asked through her teeth, "What did he do?" Her voice was low and dark.

The man who was paranoid and scared of being caught, who was putting on an act of a patient by killing his ego and pride, who went to the extent of preparing the will and staying low was discharged that night.

Anya could make a guess a lot had happened and Alvin was keeping her in the dark, letting her enjoy the new year.

Alvin knew if he evades her again, she will dig out the truth by her means. So he revealed tugging her inside the mansion. "The two shooters and the two security men were found dead in the morning." His eyes zeroed in on her, knowing how much she loathes people who kill people to hide their crimes.

Alvin didn't care about the shooters but his staff. The dinner delivered to the house was poisoned. All four men were found dead in the morning when guards were changing shifts. 

Upon investigation, they found out that the real food delivery man was unconscious in an alleyway and the disguised man had poisoned the food. They failed to track the man.

If Casper had stooped so low to kill so many people like a monster, would he stop at this?

Even if Alvin never voiced to anybody, he cared about his staff, especially the archaeological teams who were with him from the beginning. He couldn't just do nothing and risk more lives. 

So the new year holidays were extended until he could make sure Casper would cause no harm to his innocent staff. 

He wouldn't have been so worried and protected the staff if the work was between four walls. Unfortunately, the work was in the open field. Hiring more men, and restricting the area wasn't enough. Casper could find numerous ways to harm the people.

They need to stop Casper but Casper won't stop until he (Alvin) is against Casper. It made Alvin wonder if his stubbornness, anger, and motives were worth risking so many lives.

However, will Casper be quiet if Alvin doesn't go against him?

Casper will go further to exploit them to nurse his ego. Casper's call was the war signal. Their every action against Casper will adversely affect them. 

With so many people to protect, Alvin wasn't sure what Casper would do to whom.

Killed four men?

Anya's eyes darkened after hearing Alvin. She gritted her teeth. Every nerve in her body begged her to choke Casper to death. He killed four men in a gas explosion and killed another four men. 

She had thought Harper Johnson was the criminal businessman of Narnia but the latter was behind money unlike killing people like Casper.

Their prime evidence against Casper was those two shooters. With them, the decoy number Casper used will be invalidated. Casper slipped off the law. 

Why would Casper continue the act when he managed to save his life with four more lives?

Alvin was swift to tug Anya in front of him when she turned to leave. "Where are you going?" He asked, to avoid her taking any steps in anger.

Casper was inhumane. He will continue to play with people's lives. One needs to stop him, "To squeeze out every ounce of oxygen from his body," Anya said without a hint of hesitation.

Alvin's expression softened looking at her filled with rage. He wrapped her into his arms and kissed her crown. His hand gently caressed her head, trying to calm her down.

He wanted to torture his father and make him beg for death. But he was holding his calmness to avoid walking into Casper's trap. He wouldn't let Anya walk right into it.

Anya closed her eyes and breathed long and deep to stay cool. She was sensible enough to deduce, Casper will be waiting for them to take the wrong step.

Who was going to get justice for the ones who were killed by Casper's autocracy?

Wrapping her arms around Alvin, she murmured, annoyed that they have to be careful of their actions when the criminal was fearless. "How is that creature even called a human?"

She realized why Alvin and Rob were so worked up with the party and kept eye on everything. They feared Casper harming the innocent kids and the guests. 

Alvin caressed her head. He was trying to think where he slipped. Definitely in Country A where his men weren't alert enough.

Was Casper acting in the hospital to distract them?

Anya was thinking the same. Casper was under constant monitoring. Neither doctor nor the nurses reported anything to her. None of his actions seemed suspicious in the last two days.

Then how did Casper manage out of everything?

Anya was in the thoughts of finding a loophole in Casper's plan. Alvin was thinking of reinforcements to keep everyone safe and what to do with Casper. 

In their thoughts, both soaked in the bathtub. Alvin had to help Anya to bed when she dozed off with deep frowns. But there was no hint of sleepiness in his eyes.

Alvin knew they were missing something but what? 

Even if he blindly increases the security around them, how safe could it be?

He has to know Casper's all cards if he has to defend and attack mercilessly. He would rather be bait and plan.

Making sure his wife was fast asleep, he left the Oasis mansion with Rob. Staying and spying on Casper wouldn't solve their problem. So he went to find out where they went wrong.

At the Matthews mansion,

The mansion was brightly lit but it wasn't decorated as in the past years. They used to throw a huge new year party, displaying the luxury and faking their intimacy with the family members.

The butler was hurrying the maids to serve the men who were sitting with fancy glasses of bourbon suiting their expensive taste.

The arrogant and smug smile on their face was unwavering to hide their real motives and thoughts.

Casper scoffed when he noticed the white Rolls Royce Ghost come to a halt at the front door. He glanced at the other man and snickered. He knew Alvin will fight him head-on unlike hiding behind a mobile.

The man guffawed as if it was the most humorous thing. "Chairman Matthews is never wrong." He faked his compliment.

Alvin's expression was colder than a glacier whereas Rob gritted his teeth looking at the man who helped Casper in the nick of time and ruined their smooth plan.
