Hubby 436

Chapter 436 We Caught Beau Alive

In the gloom of the abandoned warehouse on the city's western edge, Felix groaned as pain coursed through his body.

He realized he was bound hand and foot, discarded in a dim corner of the grim space.

"Darren ..."

Felix's voice was hoarse as he scanned the shadowy interior for any sign of his friend.

Darren lay motionless by the door, still unconscious, a sight that tightened Felix's chest with worry.

"You're up early," remarked a familiar, unwelcome voice. A figure stepped into Felix's limited field of view and delivered a cruel kick with a smirk. "You are a tough one to find, kid."

It was Hubert, a known thug from the club, once under Beau's command but truly loyal to Patrick.

Beau was merely a facade, a puppet manipulated from the shadows.

Felix, despite his fear, mustered the courage to speak. "Hubert, Beau's finished, the police have him in their sights and all the charges will stick. He's done for. You don't need to follow his orders anymore. Please, let us go."

Felix's pleaded desperately.

An orphan himself, Felix had grown adept at gauging when to appeal to someone's better nature, though he harbored no illusions about the dangers he and Darren faced.

From his early years to now, Felix could count on one hand the people who had truly cared for him, and Darren was one of them. He could not let anything bad happen to him.

"You're just another unlucky orphan," Hubert sneered, his laughter echoing off the warehouse walls. "Dying alone... What a blissful family picture."

The mood shifted abruptly as Beau was dragged in, a shadow of his former self.

Beau appeared worn down, his face marred by bruises and his body so gaunt he was hardly recognizable. Yet, considering the wrongdoing he had been involved in before, this seemed like mere retribution.

Felix stared at Beau with a mix of horror and disbelief. "Beau... you ...

Hubert chuckled. "You really thought Beau was the mastermind?"

He kicked Beau, taunting, "All these years acting like you were the big shot. Let's see you act tough now." Beau had previously treated these underlings harshly, and now, they were eager to settle old scores.

"W-What are you planning?" Felix asked, fear evident in his voice.

"Here's the truth: we're going to pin everything on Beau. That's the only way our real boss can rest easy," Hubert explained, lighting a cigarette and tossing a knife to Beau. "Kill him."

They planned to frame Beau/for murder, crafting a narrative that he had killed someone, then spread the news to cement his culpability.
