Chapter 408 - Account Adjustment — mdfour
Roland
Victoria was sleeping in her room, she had been treated and sedated. Veronica stayed by her side, as did Liam, who was applying ointments to her bruises. Every time the cream dried, he reapplied it. It made him very angry and he had to explain that a bad man did it, that there are very bad men who hit. He is very smart, but certain behaviors are hard for him to understand.
Dante and Enrique sat next to me on the couch in my daughter's room.
"Thank you, son, you saved us."
"It was the team, Dad." I hugged them.
"Dad, I've been answering your work emails."
"Thanks, Enrique. Adrenaline isn't your thing."
"Not in the same way as Dante."
"But that doesn't exempt you from the punishment I've had reserved for years, although you still have five years left."
"A punishment saved for so many years?" I looked at my eldest son and nodded.
"That's right," I said, "and everyone is involved, remember?"
"I thought you had forgotten." Now I looked at Enrique.
"Few things are forgotten."
Hours passed, Rino examined them and they were just bruises that needed care and rest. Guadalupe was in the room; she didn't want to stay at the clinic for anything in the world, so she would be under Rino's observation. It was already eight in the evening, and Victoria was having some broth my mom made. Veronica was feeding her, we didn't want to leave her room.
There was a knock on the door and it was Rata. Seeing him, I knew we had the assignment here, it was time to settle the score.
"I'll be back."
I kissed my princess on the forehead and my wife on the lips, kissed Liam on the forehead, and put my hands on the shoulders of my two older sons. As I went down the stairs, my team was already there.
"They're going to find out."
Cereza said. We saw a car stop in front of my ranch and Cooper got out.
"Hello, this could cost me my career."
"You'll take him back. We just want to give him a couple of love taps on the face."
"There are a lot of people here and we can't show our faces," Gustavo said now.
"You're right, if Veronica finds out, she won't let us do anything and I'll beat that son of a bitch to a pulp. Cereza, go in through the paddock exit." It was the escape route. "The rest of you have ten minutes to fool your wives, we'll meet at the headquarters to show someone who the Boss is."

I saw my mom a bit nervous, I know it must be because of that assignment and I know exactly what they mean, so when Dad left the room, I left a minute later and locked myself in the bathroom on the second floor. I turned on my computer, activated some of the nano robots, three is enough, so I know what they're planning. Something tells me I have to do something, but I don't know what...
But Dante must know. I saved the evidence, paused the video for him to see it. I went to Victoria's room, knocked, but still went in. My aunt was finishing giving her the soup. Liam was with his brothers.
"Dante..." We went out, in his room I showed him everything. Our parents were no longer there.
"Do you think they're going to kill him?"
"From what we've investigated about them, Uncle can't do it, he swore and we know he has absolute faith in God."
"Yes."
"What do you plan to do?"
"Do you know the code to enter the headquarters?"
"Who do you think you're dealing with, dear cousin?" I saw him smile, he kissed me on the forehead.
"Send the code to Liam's phone."
"What do you plan to do?"
"This is something I'll do with my brothers. I'll tell you later."
I nodded, saw him leave, and after sending the code to my cousin, I left. And I ran into that idiot Isaac, the shameless one just stared at me.
"Is Andrea okay?"
"Yes, thanks for asking."
"She's my cousin." And he kept walking. Someday I'll make you eat the words you said, idiot.

We have Jhon beaten to a pulp, only Arnold, Rata, and I are hitting him. The rest are just watching. We've already told him he's ruined, that for his crimes he'll get three life sentences.
"Did you think you could beat me, you bastard? Did you forget who I am?"
Rata and Arnold had already beaten him, now it was my turn, it looks like he has some broken ribs. Once we take out our anger by beating him, Rino will give him first aid and then Cooper will take him back to justice.
"Evil will never end," he said.
"Maybe, but there will always be the checkmate organization to stand in the way."
I continued with a relentless beating of fists, it was like I was practicing boxing, but Liam's arms and body got in the way and he hugged me tight.
"Dad, bad men hit." A shudder ran through me, my son clung to me. "You told me, and you're not bad." A cold chill ran through my body, the shame of Liam's words.
"Son."
"No, Dad."
Cooper and the guys took Jhon's body away while I stayed with my three sons, Arnold, and Simon. Facing them.
"Justice will lock them up," Dante said.
"I know."
"Then why were you hitting him?"
I looked at Enrique. At that moment, I understood that revenge is never justified. I felt ashamed of myself. "Lord God, thank you." My son Liam, with that pure innocence of love.
"I'm sorry."
There was nothing more to say. Just bow my head to my arrogance, anger, and power, I had renounced that long ago, and that look in my youngest son's eyes reminded me.
"Thank you."
"Dante brought us, Dad." I looked at my eldest son.
"It's just a reminder, Dad, to remember who you are now." I hugged all three of them.
"Thank you."
