Chapter 15 - The Underworld Bleeds
The dust finally settled in the ruined hallway, revealing the absolute, devastating destruction of Adrian’s perfect sanctuary.
Maya was sobbing uncontrollably on the cracked floor, her hands bleeding from desperately trying to fight the massive Russian.
Adrian finally managed to physically shatter the debris pinning his wheelchair, his incredibly strong arms burning with pure adrenaline.
He wheeled himself over to Maya, aggressively pulling her into his chest and holding her entirely against him.
"I will get her back, Maya, I completely swear to you on my own soul, I will bring her back," Adrian whispered fiercely.
He did not waste a single second grieving; he completely transformed into the most terrifying, violent force of nature New York had ever seen.
For the next twenty-four hours, the criminal underworld completely bled out onto the streets of the city.
Adrian mobilized every single enforcer, every heavily armed captain, and every loyal soldier in his massive syndicate.
They aggressively raided Russian-owned nightclubs, violently burning illegal casinos to the ground, and mercilessly interrogating every single contact.
Adrian personally oversaw the brutal, terrifying interrogation of a captured Russian lieutenant in an abandoned meatpacking warehouse.
The man was tied heavily to a metal chair, completely beaten and terrified of the paralyzed man sitting in front of him.
"Where is Viktor keeping my daughter?" Adrian asked softly, carefully cleaning the barrel of his heavy pistol.
"He will completely kill me if I tell you," the Russian lieutenant spat, trying to maintain his fake bravado.
Adrian did not completely lose his temper; he simply raised his weapon and shot the man directly in the left kneecap.
The lieutenant screamed in absolute, agonizing pain, violently thrashing against his heavy restraints.
"I am completely paralyzed from the waist down," Adrian stated entirely calmly, looking at the bleeding man.
"I know exactly how terrifying it is to lose the ability to walk, and I am entirely willing to shatter your other knee if you do not speak."
The terrified, broken man sobbed heavily, completely abandoning his loyalty to Viktor Volkov.
"The old steel mill on the northern edge of the city!" the lieutenant completely confessed through his tears.
"Viktor heavily rigged the entire warehouse with explosives, he is waiting for you to walk directly into the trap!"
Adrian nodded slowly, incredibly satisfied with the absolute terror he had successfully inflicted.
He turned his wheelchair around, signaling to his massive captains to permanently silence the crying man.
Adrian knew it was a heavily rigged, completely deadly trap, but he did not care in the absolute slightest.
