Chapter 11 Acceptance
As Oscar punched Ethan crossed the face, he flinched in pain. He couldn’t believe that such a thing had happened to her, and thinking about it was kind of frustrating. As he let his guards down, Oscar gave him another blow that landed directly on his head, causing him to flinch.
“Please, let go of me, Don Oscar, I am innocent, and as well, I can explain what I meant,” Ethan blurted out afraid that receiving the constant blows from his master will make a tooth come out of his mouth. He dreaded it so much, and as he tried dodging the blows, he couldn’t do more than that because if he even dares to touch the man, then, it will be his fault to be blamed.
Oscar was bitter in his spirit, Deep down in him, he did not want to believe that such a thing might have happened to him, but then, that is not the case. He just finds it abnormal that the young man had fooled him. Hearing Ethan plead for mercy right now, he allowed his hands to slid around his neck, freeing him. .” You have one minute to explain yourself, and I warn you, it should be clear because I plan on terminating your life right now,” he threatened.
Hearing this, Ethan’s heart tripped so much. What he wanted was just to express his idea, but now, it is something that had become a talk-or-die affair. She is not even serious about these things, they are so aching, and thinking about it makes his head hurt. To know that he is the boss, and there is nothing he can do to him makes Ethan said if it was on an ordinary day Ethan would have fought with this young man, but now, he just seems so helpless that there is nothing he can do about it. Thinking about it makes Ethan sad, and as he cleared his throat, he prepares to speak his mind out.
“Don Oscar, I do not mean what I am saying, Sir, the issue is that I was just thinking that maybe Xavier might have played a nasty trick on us. He made us believe that he had his mind on obtaining the Governor’s post, but then, that was far from the reality he had in mind, instead, he was trying his best to make things work towards his favor. This explains why he is applying for the president’s post too,” Ethan explained.
As he said this, Oscar had a weird look, his eyes were weak and round with shock. He couldn’t believe what Ethan had just said, well, to an extent, he thought this wasn’t real, but then, he had to take it seriously. He just needed to take this issue seriously because of he doesn’t, then everything he had ever had to work for over the years will just crash in front of him, and this is something that he doesn’t it to happen.
Ethan who thought this to be bizarrely asked in a shaky voice as he had his hand around his neck from support, gently choking lightly to maintain his words.
“What I do not get is the fact that the state will allow him to run the president’s office even after knowing that he won the Governor’s office. Is that even possible?” Ethan asked in confusion.
His head kind of spin around as he thought about the possible reply for his problem, it didn’t seem to be easy, but then, he glared at Don Oscar expecting a reply.
Instead of replying to him immediately, Oscar walked towards the couch and sat on it. It happens that his silence wasn’t voluntary, it was as a result of the fact that realization had just dawned on him, it is more than anything that they have ever got to see in their entire life, reasoning it makes Oscar’s mind blow up.
“Xavier Barley is a dickhead, I can’t believe he played over my intelligence, now, things have become clear in my head, and I wish I can just put a clear bullet on the idiot’s head. He deserves it. In fact, more than it, and unless I punish him I wouldn’t be well,” Don Oscar spat out furiously.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
As he sat on the couch, all his body had sloped on the chair, and the way he was, occupying the entire bed made Ethan think that he was a pig, and all his grease was finding some space on the couch to squeeze on. Well, they would have had enough space if Oscar wasn’t sitting so close to the edge of the couch. It is kind of annoying to even see that happen, so he tried his best to about his eye contact.
That didn’t mean anything to Oscar, his mind was filled with several things, and no matter what he thinks about right now, only the image of Xavier, bold, intimidating played in his mind. He knows the game that the young man had played right now, and there is nothing that he is going to do that will make him happy now, especially when Xavier’s plan is to eliminate them.
Lifting his head, Oscar forced himself to glare at Ethan, and as he met his wide eyes, he allowed his words to flow out freely from her mouth.
“There is only one explanation for what Xavier just did, leave his newfound as a Governor to pursue his dream of being the president. This means that it is either he wins the Presidential post, or he is going to lose everything. This is quite a crazy wish but then, it is worth it, more than everything I have ever wished for in my entire life,” Don Oscar spat out.
He was so damn serious about what he said, it means a lot to me, and even though he wanted to say something else, the words seemed to be ripped to his throat, which stands out as an unfortunate circumstance to him at this point in his life.
Ethan listened to everything his master just said, and realization dawned in his mind. There is no doubt that he actually needed something to talk to, more than anything on earth, but more than, what he actually desires is for this situation should be thrashed out, and the sooner it is done, the better it wi be for the rest of them, nothing more nothing less.
As Ethan delayed to console the Don, this caused Oscar to swirl his head around, staring as if things are bad and he was going to beat him up, Oscar rather chose to speak to Ethan about his problem. This is way better than he was thinking to tell his private assassin his mind.
“Ethan, can you please do a favor for me?” he inquired raising a brow at them.
Sighing, Ethan kind of brushed his mind aside, there is nothing worth more than Don Oscar, he needs to render him all his services, and be as good as possible. These things weren’t hard, he didn’t just want to do them, and this is what caused a dangerous problem to all of them.
“Yes, Don Oscar?” he answered bowing his head in respect.
Even though there are several lazy stuff that the young nan dies all the time, the only thing sure is that he makes up his mind to obey and respect Don Oscar as much as he can. Staring at him now, Oscar tried talking to him.
“I want you to do something for me, will that be possible?” he inquired raising his brows at him.
The moment Ethan heard this, he didn’t waste any time to reply, instead, his voice was clean and neat as he responded quickly.
“Of course, I will do everything that is in my might to help you, I promise you that, just shoot your problem to me, Don Iscar, I promise that It would be the best part of me you’ve ever got to try so far,” he murmured.
That is kind of insane, the moment Ethan finished his loving speech to please the Don, he instantly regretted it. Like seriously, she didn’t know what had gotten over her, it Is really abnormal to have possibly said all those things, and yet, they had come out from his mouth. What did he do? nothing, instead, what he knows how to do is to add his problems on more. It is kind of weird that he doesn’t believe everything that he had said, even when he tries brushing his mind away from it, that wouldn’t change the fact that those were his words and Don Oscar had heard him so clearly.
Slightly jerking his head up, Oscar pulled out a wry smile, it was as if he was trying to show his victory over the fact that he used his psychology to okay over his worker’s own. This is the best joy for being wise and he praises himself that he had done this. He knew that it would never have been possible if he just stays there basically doing nothing at all.
As if he had done all these things for Oscar, he kind of brought out his last card to defeat him.
“Ethan, what I want you to do for me is to kill Xavier. I do not know how you are going to do it, but please you just have to do it. I will give some money to hold on to you while this task is going on, you can work with the number of men you know will help in making your finish the work earlier, all I want is for Xavier to crumble. If you want, you can bring him here alive, or just kill him to save yourself from the stress. There only thing is, please, wipe all the pieces of evidence, no one should ever know that it is you that have done the job, or more try to trace you to this place. All the pieces of evidence should be cleared out please,” Oscar blurted out.
Ethan’s mouth dropped open immediately, it is kind of frustrating that all these things had happened it was weird, but then, he needs to do it with immediate effect. Even if Ethan’s mind was against him going on the mission, he couldn’t just help himself from being loyal to the old man who had helped him so much. Thinking about this, the memories swiftly played in his mind, it is like nothing he has ever seen before, and it was kind of frustrating to even know that someone had done so.
Sighing, he brushed that away from his mind as he focused on Oscar. When Oscar on his side noticed Ethan’s heart-wrecking silence, he decided to talk about It. This seemed to be the cruelest act he could ever do, in fact, just thinking about it made him sad. Well, one thing Don Oscar hates is to beg his workers to do something for him, but then, this is Ethan Smith and although he had made him what he is today, it will forever remain Ethan’s choice to do what he wants and when he wants it. Well, Oscar is the one who needs an enemy to be cleared away from his side, and no matter what he does, nothing will make him glad if he accepts to do his bidings, nothing at all.
Clearing his throat, he allowed the words to leave his throat as if they mean nothing to him.
“Please, Ethan Smith, I want you to assassinate Xavier Barley. You can bill me as you want it, and I will pay, hug please, all I need is work that should be well done. At least, that wouldn’t be too difficult for you, huh?” Oscar asked raising his brows.
Well, he was sincere with what he wanted, and as such needed to lay the task so that Ethan will do his bidding. At this point when the presidential election is coming, Xavier needs to be cleared out of the way.
Nodding, Ethan said, “Alright, you can count on me,”
