Mr. Kingsman looked at Nordej perplexed, he was shocked, and he could not believe what he heard right now. He did not want to believe what he heard right now. The map and the texts written on it were the work of his life, he was young, but this map took a large part of his life and a lot of effort.
"We are in 202_, the computers do almost everything for us. We only need a lot of translated tests from that time and the computer will decipher every new language." Nordej laughed while looking at Mr. Kingsman. He was very pleased right now, everything was going according to his plan.
In the back of the circle, Maria and the others were sitting together, and they were all nervous after seeing the turn up of the situation. They had hope as they heard that the man needed Mr. Kingsman, but now after what they saw, they knew that they were in big troubles.
"Maria, hear me." James said silently to Maria, she was right next to him and the nearest to him. He was trying to be so silent as possible.
"What?" Maria replied silently too.
"Look, around my left ankle is a little SOS device. Press the button!" he said seriously, but still whispering, because if they were caught, then they would be in even bigger trouble.
Maria looked at him and then at the left ankle of James, she quickly moved her ass, so that she could get a bit near to him, but without moving too fast.
Luckily, no one noticed the two and Maria reached the ankle of James, then with her little hands which were chained, she clicked the little button when she saw the little device.
It looked like a bracelet, but it was very thin, and the button looked like a decoration.
When she clicked the button, Nordej got a signal from a smartphone like device, he looked at it and then he smiled.
"It seems like there are some rats here, who was the one that tried to send a message? Did you thought that I will not bring a signal blocker?" Nordej said in a serious tone while smiling, he really looked like a monster.
"But I have to say that the device used is also very advanced, to not be detected at first and that it was not broken due to the magnetic field created by the anti-signal device. The one who tried to send a signal should come out, if not then I will kill one person every minute. Time starts now!"
Everyone was getting crazy, this sudden death sentence was too heavy, one person every minute? And on top of that aleatory? Everyone began to look at each other, but nobody knew who did it.
"Why did you send a signal? The one who did it should come out!" A mercenary could not hold anymore after 30 seconds passed and he was getting nervous and anxious, what made him not think clear.
30…29…28…27…
15…14…13…
"The time is almost up, if you do not come out right now, then I will start to kill and believe me it will not be a kind kill."
The seconds were flying when Maria and James were looking at each other and not knowing what to do, but then James became resolute and then he stood up.
"It was me!" James stood up and said loudly. He looked very peaceful, even in this situation. It was incredible that a young man can stand up in front of people that could easily kill him.
"Hohoho, it is James Rockefeller! Since when are the Rockefeller so straight? I thought you were like your father and ancestors, the greatest foxes on the planet." Nordej said joking, but at the same time it was not a joke, because what he said was right.
The Rockefeller is not any big family, but one of the top 5 families in the world with a wealth and power that could suppress even the biggest countries and make them act as they pleased. But that was only possible if the family members were intelligent and could act like foxes or wolves in every situation. For a Rockefeller to stand up and risk his live for a someone that was not even his family member was very uncommon.
"What do you want to do? Did you think we will sit and do nothing?" James replied.
"No, I was waiting for someone to do something, but not from a Rockefeller. I like you boy!" Nordej said and then continued: "Come here!"
James approached Nordej and then looked him with angry eyes: "Do not think that you will achieve what you want. Your Black Snake Sect is nothing in the eyes of my family. You're only a small band of assassins, if you think you will escape then you are wrong."
Pam!
Nordej slapped the face of James and sent him flying away. He did not like the words of James, because it was true. Even if the Sect had powerful assassins and connections in the whole planet, they still were inferior to the top five families of the earth and they could only attack them in the darkness.
"JAMES! Are you alright?" Richard tried to stand up and run to James, but he was stopped by the soldiers and pressed in the ground.
The others tried the same too, but the same happened too.
"You coward, if you use your strength, then use it with people in your level not to bully the weak!" Maria shout to Nordej with a red face as if she would explode any time.
"The little girl is really shouting to daddy. I do not like young girls, but I will make an exception for you." Nordej said and then walked to Maria.
"Stop!"
