Chapter 189: Lucas' Truth
"I hate you, bastard" David declared and said, "Isaac and Jack are keeping an eye outside, let's go fast, if they get caught, they won't be able to fight"
David then led the way, Chance and Lucas silently followed him as they could sense how agitated David was.
"You didn't tell me David, Isaac and Jack too are here?" Lucas excitedly asked Chance.
"Lucas, stop enjoying yourself, we are not on an adventure here, this is serious" Chance scolded him.
"Look, who's talking" David rolled his eyes, taunting him.
"Why is he sulking?" Lucas asked Chance.
"Dude, focus. I'll give all the updates later" Chance helplessly shook his head seeing his weird friend's antics.
They were almost out and with David's help they were able to safely reach the car.
Jack and Isaac were shocked to see Lucas as they were unaware of him being alive.
Earlier, when the women were about to reveal the truth of Lucas being alive, David interrupted them and signalled them to keep quiet.
He needed Jack and Isaac's help but if they will know Lucas is alive, they will be overwhelmed and won't be able to focus on the mission of rescuing the two men, who were still inside.
"Now is not the time" David seriously declared and the five men quickly entered the car.
Abigail was at the wheel waiting for them.
As soon as the five men boarded the car, she started driving in full speed.
Carol jumped on her brother and tightly hugged him, "I can't believe you are alive" She cried for a while, hugging him.
"I am so sorry, Carol, so sorry for slapping you. Elder brother didn't mean to, I had to do it to convince Flavio" Lucas emotionally explained himself.
Right now, they were all in a mini-van seated comfortably.
"Can anyone please explain, what is happening here?" Mia asked them all frustratedly as the last twenty-four hours have been a roller-coaster ride for her.
She suddenly got kidnapped, was brought to Sicily, then she finds out Chance is an assassin and see Lucas being alive.
All of this didn't make any sense to her.
"Mia, I promise, I'll answer every question of yours once we safely board the flight." Chance assured her.
"Wait, did you book the tickets?" Lucas asked them.
"We flew by my private plane" Isaac informed him.
Lucas smiled brightly, "That's why we should have super-rich friends" and winked at Isaac, who emotionally smiled as he still couldn't believe he was looking at Lucas.
"You kept your passport with you, right?" Chance asked Lucas.
"Oh fuck!! I forgot it" Lucas shouted in despair.
"Fuck, should I turn around?" Abigail asked.
"No, no, I am kidding" Lucas took out his passport and proudly showed it to them.
"Lucas" The seven people shouted at him, getting irritated.
"Dude, are you out of your fucking mind?" Jack scolded him.
"Hey, I just came out from dead, love me, don't scold me." Lucas pouted.
"You never died" David taunted him, still furious at his two friends.
"Seems like David is upset to see me alive" Lucas taunted him.
"Yeah, I am so upset that as soon as I get an opportunity, I am going to kill you" David declared.
"Like you killed that guy?" Lucas smiled brightly.
"Calm down" Isaac stroked David's back.
"By the way, we need to celebrate, David killed a man today" Lucas informed everyone.
David face-palmed himself.
"What?" The three women shouted in unison.
"Guys, let's talk after we board the flight" Chance reminded them.
After a few minutes they reached the airport, the eight people quickly passed through the security check as they had a private plane, so Isaac had a few privileges.
In the next thirty minutes, the eight people were in the air, flying back to New York.
"Can you now tell us what the fuck is going on?" Mia shouted at all the men.
"Yes" Chance then started the story from his childhood.
He informed them of how his dad started an organization for assassins and over the years built it by hiring many capable men.
Berlusconi family were their rivals and they killed his parents.
Chance then told them how he faked a phobia after killing his servant, who was hired by the Berlusconi gang to betray his parents.
Then in this same organization he met Lucas and David and the trio became good friends. During their college, they met Jack, who became another friend of theirs and Isaac was Lucas' childhood friend and that's how the five men ended up being close friends.
Later, Lucas kept provoking the Berlusconi gang as Chance promised his adopted father, he won't go after them for killing his parents.
Lucas was trying to avenge Chance's parents' death as he himself couldn't due to the promise.
Later, the Berlusconi gang offered Lucas to join them instead and he didn't, also he provoked them to an extent that they decided to kill him.
For that they hired Edwin to do this job.
The three women were shocked after knowing that Edwin was an assassin too.
Edwin killed Lucas, at least that's what he thought, but he had no idea, Lucas comes to his missions prepared and that time too, he was wearing protection and he only pretended to die, fooling Edwin.
Edwin then gave his dead body to the Berlusconi gang, using it as the proof that he indeed killed Lucas, then Edwin left from there.
After that, Lucas understood what was going on. After a few minutes, he suddenly woke up scaring the Berlusconi gang but he pretended like during Edwin's attempt to kill him, he hit his head somewhere and therefore lost his consciousness.
Flavio's parents were dead as Chance's adopted father ensured to kill them making it look like an accident to avenge his best friends' death but Flavio was not aware of it and believed his parents died in an accident.
Flavio was the sole heir of the Berlusconi gang but the problem was Flavio was not as smart as his ancestors and was not able to handle this gang well.
But when he found Lucas lost his memory, he came up with an evil plan and convinced Lucas that he is his elder brother and the eldest son of the Berlusconi family, who had been kept hidden all these years as they intended to protect him.
He gave him the name Giuseppe Berlusconi.
Lucas wanted to laugh at that fool's face but he controlled himself and pretended like he fell for his lame story and to keep himself protected he took over the role of the eldest son of the Berlusconi gang.
To make this lie look more believable, Flavio passed this information to a few people that his highly capable, elder brother, who had been kept hidden for years is finally here to take over the gang leader role.
Flavio informed Edwin too about it as he didn't wish for him to realize Lucas is alive and Flavio is using him for his own selfish reasons.
So, Edwin had no idea that he failed in killing Lucas and Giuseppe Berlusconi is Lucas himself.
Lucas had been working in this gang, pretending to be Giuseppe for almost a year.
He had been trying ways to get out of here and was also collecting proof against Berlusconi gang so that he could eliminate them permanently.
Here, on the other side, after killing Edwin, Chance promised his friends he would leave the assassin world but after talking to Samantha he decided to pursue this gang and see their end.
He already gave up on them for his adopted father but he didn't wish to do the same in Lucas' case.
During his research, Chance came across a few photos of Giuseppe, that shocked him. The resemblance of Giuseppe to Lucas was so uncanny, it didn't take a lot of time for him to realize that man is Lucas.
So, Chance researched about the dead body of Lucas that they found.
After Edwin gave Lucas' body to Flavio. They killed a man, with same body built as Lucas. Then they threw that body in the water with Lucas' car, which Edwin used to drop Lucas to them as at that time Flavio was in New York.
They pushed the body that resembled Lucas with his car in the water and they smashed the body's face before doing so.
After Lucas' friends found his body and car, they ran a DNA test between that body and Carol to confirm it is indeed Lucas or not, although the clothes on the body, its built and all implied it is indeed him.
Flavio paid the man in the lab, who was performing the DNA test to create fake reports, thus fooling everyone by making them believe that Lucas indeed died.
During Chance's research, he gathered all this information.
Although, he wanted to share this good news with everyone else, he didn't do it now as it would be overwhelming and he had to focus on safely bringing back Lucas first.
