Rise Of The Disgraced Heir - Chapter 147

The men that Emilio Reyes sent to Ian and Marco did not hold back when they beat up Manuel and his father. They didn’t stop when Manuel begged and cried.

Ian and Marco watched as the men kicked and punched their torsos.

“You really messed with the wrong person.” Marco said with a chuckle as he watched the men beat up the Juans.

Soon, Manuel was coughing up blood as his body started to show patches of black and blue on his body.

“Check him.” Ian shouted as a medic ran over to check on Manuel’s status.

“Is he still breathing?” Marco asked as he looked over to see Manuel’s condition. He was on the ground as the medic slowly lifted him to check his vitals.

“You -” Manuel’s father said as he struggled to speak. “Fucking- Assholes-.”

The older man struggled to speak as he too was now coughing up blood.

The white tiles were now red as their blood was everywhere.

Ian shook his head as he walked over to the older man and gave him a disgusted look.

“You do not have the right to say that.” Ian hissed as he glared at the man. “You have ruined more lives and this is only a fraction of what other people have suffered in your hands.”

“Asshole.” Manuel hissed as he slowly regained consciousness as he tried to get up.

Ian shook his head and laughed.

“You deserve to suffer a hundred times more than this.” Ian screamed as he glared at Manuel. “The damage you have done to the people of this world is nothing compared to his.”

Manuel’s father coughed and spat blood on the ground as he lifted his head and looked Ian in the eyes.

“We will be back, and we will never forget what you’ve done.” The man responded as he glared at Ian.

Suddenly Marco suddenly laughed behind Ian and shook his head.

He looked down at the Juans as if they were the most disgusting creatures on the face of the earth. He spat at the two men and shook his head.

“Do you really think we will allow you to get back?” Marco said as he continued to walk forward.

His next action shocked Ian, he suddenly kicked Manuel’s father in the jaw knocking the older man back.

His head hit the tile floor.

“Marco.” Ian said with a gasp as he was shocked by the older man who was knocked unconscious.

“You fear the Laurels but not the Reyeses? You are stupid.” Marco said quite bluntly as looked at Manuel who tried to get to his father as he was held back by the guards.

Ian gave Marco a look and the elder assistant gave him a shrug as a response.

“This is part of our job, Ian.” Marco said with a sigh as he looked at the father and son on the ground. “People need to learn to respect the people we work for. We need to make sure that everyone knows that so the Reyeses have one less thing to worry about.”

“You killed him!” Manuel howled as he began to cry as he tried to reach out to his father who was still lying on the cold tile floor.

Ian looked at the medic who moved from father to son.

“He isn’t dead.” Ian declared by simply observing the doctor’s reaction as he checked the older man.

“Clean them up.” Marco ordered as he looked at his watch. “Be out in the next ten minutes.”

The men nodded in response as they dragged the two men under the shower.

As Manuel’s father was doused in the cold water he suddenly woke up, kicking and screaming.

“Make sure they know to keep their mouths shut.” Marco called back to a guard, who nodded.

Ian knew that they would have their own ways of keeping the two men quiet, it would probably be a threat to the family. He couldn’t imagine what else the men would threaten the Juan’s with.

They had taken everything at this point, their wealth, their properties, their reputation, even their women. They had been stripped of almost everything that made them human, what else had the two men left to lose.

“Let’s go.” Marco told Ian in a stern tone as he walked out ahead of Ian.

Ian on the other hand snuck a final look at the father and son before finally turning his back on them and following Marco out the door.

“There are times we don’t need to see everything to the end.” Marco told Ian as they walked down the steps of the police station. “We have people to handle these things, but I won’t lie, there are certain situations where in we need to see things to the end.”

Ian nodded as he listened to the older assistant.

“These things will be too much for Camilla, not because she is a woman, but because of her past experiences.” Marco explained as they walked to their cars. “You will have to take on these tasks for the Reyes Heir some day.”

“I understand.” Ian said with a nod.

“Being the CEO’s assistant means more than just helping him with his work.” Marco told Ian as he stopped along the way. “It means making sure that everything that needs to be done is done. That you go beyond what people see in public. It requires us to work the back channels as well if needed.”

“I know.” Ian replied.

“Good.” Marco said as he smiled. “I was worried that both you and Camilla wouldn’t be able to handle this kind of life. It requires a lot of unorthodox methods.”

“I was prepared.” Ian informed Marco.

From the very beginning he knew that being the CEO’s assistant meant more than just office work, that it also required for them to handle other matters.

“All the people you will meet in this job will not just be for show.” Marco informed him. “Keep who they are in mind and make sure to remember everything about them. The Reyeses don’t like being in the dark about the people they will work with. You will need to be prepared for that.”

“Why are you giving me instructions as if you are already leaving?” Ian asked with a laugh as he gave Marco a confused look.

“Just some things that you need to learn from the very beginning.” Marco said with a shrug.

Ian wordlessly nodded as the night sounds of the city blared through the silence.

“Well, we should get going.” Marco reminded Ian as he took a look at his watch again. “We only had thirty minutes, I don’t want us to be seen by any of the police officers. We represent the Reyeses and if we are seen here people will assume that the Reyes family is involved with whatever happened here.”

Marco unlocked his car and got in.

“Drive safe!” He called out to the younger assistant who also made a move to ride his own car.

“Same to you.” Ian said with a nod as Marco started his car and drove away.

Ian did the same and found himself back at the Solaire Towers quite quickly.

He was shocked to find Camilla pacing around the lobby as Seth sat down on the couch prepared for guests.

“What are you two doing down here?” Ian asked as he entered the lobby.

“She was worried.” Seth said as he pointed at Camilla who had a very worried look on her face.

“You were gone for so long.” Camilla said as she looked at Ian. “I thought you. . .”

She was unable to finish her sentence as Ian slowly nodded.

“I came from the police station.” Marco told her.

“Are you at ease?” Seth asked his friend.

“Let’s talk about this in my apartment.” Ian told them as he gestured for his two friends to follow him to the elevator.

The ride up was silent as Ian knew that the two were quite eager to ask him questions.

When the door finally shut behind them, Ian was dragged from the door to his couch and made to sit down.

“Are you at ease?” Seth asked Ian again, this time the concern was quite evident in his face.

“I feel better, yes.” Ian said with a nod.

“You do know that the mother and daughter are with us, right?” He asked with a worried expression.

“Yes, what are you looking worried about?” It was Ian’s turn to ask the questions this time.

“I guess I just don’t want you to look at me any differently.” Seth said with a frown. “My family isn’t exactly on the right side of the law.”

“As if that’s ever bothered us.” It was Camilla that responded this time, shaking her head.

“We’ve known for days now what your family does, it doesn’t bother us.” Ian told Seth with a nod hoping to ease his friend’s worries.

“Any special requests when I deal with them?” Seth asked with a wide smile on his face.
