The Young Billionaire: "LUCAS"

Chapter 7

They brought Albert Scott to the barracks where there is a place called interrogation room. They were not going to interrogate him but what Lucas was going to do to him will be some techniques which will involve actions that would make Albert feel fear. It may be called as t*****e but Lucas and everyone of them in the barracks that they were not allowed to overdo whatever they are going to do with the poor lad. 

"Stay still if you don't wanna to hurt yourself." Lucas said firmly towards Albert who was still blindfolded. He was standing with his hands bound by a rope from above his head. "You are standing in a piece of a floor board, I can't begin to imagine how you are going to survive if you fall to that ten feet deep well below you if you make a bad move." 

Albert felt sober from all the alcohol he had, he passed out a few times on the way here and every time he woke up, he would throw up because of the head spinning speed of the bicycle he was tied to. Now he was feeling all sobered up and hearing what the guy who seemed to be the leader of these group who abducted him, he cannot hide the fear he was feeling inside of him. His body shook in fear and every one in the room saw it. They laughed at his pathetic reaction. He was actually on a flat surface. What Lucas said was just a threat to make him stay in place. But since he cannot see if what he being told was true or lie, he had to believe and obey whatever he was commanded to do.

"Now, tell me honestly. And I mean, I don't wanna hear any bullshit and lies from that filthy mouth of yours, do you understand?" Lucas' voice was normally calm but Albert can sense the heaviness of consequences if he ever failed to answer correctly.

"Ye...yes!" Albert answered loudly with his head nodding as if his words would not be enough to convince the man asking him.

"Did you do anything stupid at school during lunch time today?"

Albert was embarrassed but he was also angered as he remember how badly he felt humiliated during lunch time today. He clenched his fists which were tied on a rope above his head.

"I think he is furious, boss." Frank feigned fear as he said so. Making everyone laugh except for Albert.

"He must have felt so humiliated being defeated and laughed at by a girl and her friends." Jandy smirked. He was there during that incident that he can absolutely tell what Albert was feeling after he was easily handled by his target. 

"Did you even know who you were messing up with?" Lucas amusedly asked. Although Diana doesn't like being popular and noticed, it would still be odd for anyone in the campus not to know who she is. Aside from beauty and brain, Diana is known to be a rich girl. She cannot avoid the attentions even if she doesn't really enjoy it and so she ignore such popularity, still only about five to ten percent of school population would not recognize her. And this guy seemed to be the top lister of the ten percent of people that doesn't know Diana Marie. How bad for him to mess with the only sister Lucas has. That was unforgivable. Or unless he was taught a lesson. 

"I just wanted to ask her to have lunch with us." Albert confessed. Bowing his head in humiliation. He really feels so pathetic. He thought he was brave a nd strong enough being a street thug. But when he was defeated during lunch he was very furious, now he is being defeated again by these group of people he didn't even know their identity. One thing is clear, they are with Diana Marie. He shouldn't have bitten more than he could chew, it's too late to repent now. 

"Why dis you wanna have lunch with her?" 

"I like her a lot. She is so beautiful and she never boast around. She is so mighty yet she is not proud like other girls. I have been worshipping her as my own Goddess ever since I saw her the first time." Albert shyly answered.

"Was that the proper way to ask her?" Jandy was furious. It felt offensive for him to hear what Albert just said. He made it sound like Diana is a push over who would just agree if anyone threatens her.

"I....didn't know..." Albert stuttered. He was to embarrassed to admit the fact even to himself. "I didn't know any other way." 

"How pathetic!" Lucas roared. This kind of coward doesn't even deserve to look at his sister. How dare he tried to lay his hands to grab her by the arm. He saw that in the surveillance camera that Macky showed him. 

"I know, I am sorry. Please spare me, I will never bother her again." Albert begged. he didn't know what these guys would do to him. Nobody will look for him even if he went missing, his family is in the farthest country side form here. They don't even know he was in this city. He doesn't have real friends who would actually care if he was not seen around. 

"How do we know you will keep your words?" Lucas can feel the sincerity of Alberts pleading but he cannot let him feel so comfortable just like that.

"You know me, but I don't know you, I am sure you will have eyes on me but I won't even know who to look back to."  Albert explained pleadingly. 

"And what do you suggest I do to you if you ever break your words?" Lucas asked. Albert was right. He can always have eyes following every step he makes and they will easily know if he make a bad move, but that condition was not enough.

"You can do whatever you want. I will be satisfied to see her even from afar. I don't think I can bring my face to get near her again." 

"You can warn anybody who wants to do the same stupid things you did, never to mess up with Diana Marie or else they will suffer more than what happened to you, do you understand?" Jandy commanded after seeing Lucas nod at him, it was a sign telling Jandy that he should say what Lucas wanted to say in this situation. This had happened before so they all knew the drills. 

"I will do my best to stop them but please do not blame me if they still pursue. I don not hold their minds and I am not as powerful as you to scare them if they don't listen to my warnings." Albert tried to make himself clear. Even in his situation he was still wise to reason out. Lucas was amused at his braveness so he agreed without a fuss. 

"I will consider that. Since I will surely know if you try to make a fool out of me and you know damn well what is going to happen to you, I will consider your reasons." Lucas nonchalantly answered. He nod to Garwood. Garwood went closer to Albert to take his blindfolds off. Albert was blinded momentarily as the bright halogen lights directed to his face welcomed his eyes. He closed his eyes and bowed down. Then as he slowly turned his eyes open, he saw that he was on the flat floor, no deep well beneath him like the man said earlier. He abruptly look up to see who these guys were.

"You?!" Albert was beyond surprised to see Lucas. He knew this guy. They are in the same school at the same year level, they even have same classes few times a week.
