James looked at Diego when he asked him the question, he was really finding it hard to believe that Diego would do something like that to him.
'Did you get new goods last month?" Diego was shocked when he heard the question James asked him, he was wondering how James found out about it.
He could remember clearly that the day he brought them he made sure no one else knew about it. So he was wondering how James found out about it.
'What are you talking about?" Diego asked James, pretending not to understand what James was trying to say.
'All I want you to say is the truth." James replied Diego. He knows the trust but he wants Diego to admit the truth himself.
Diego sensed James must have found out the truth. For him to be asking him about it like this it definitely means he knows the truth. Diego cleared his throat and raised his head to look at James.
'Yes I did." James raised his head to look at Diego when he answered the question at least he knew that Diego was being honest with him now.
'What about the secret search on my brother and the witness?" Diego was shocked to hear the question James asked him. He was wondering how James is aware of everything.
James was waiting for Diego's reply.
'What's all these about James?" Diego asked James, already getting pissed at the question that James is asking him. James knew Diego was already angry but that does not answer the question he asked all he wanted to know is the truth.
Diego has been trying to stay friends with James not because he cherishes their friendship but because he wasn't done making use of him to achieve what he wants.
He planned on using James and then dump him with nothing left with him, then he can successfully be the most successful wolf lord like he has always wished.
But seeing what James is doing now is about to spoil his plans. Diego was trying not to let his anger get the best of him, he struggled to swallow the anger in so that he would not ruin his chances of getting what he wanted.
'Just answer my question!" James yelled angrily. Diego was totally over with the whole pretending thing.
'And who do you think you are?" Diego asked James angrily. James was shocked to hear the way Diego talked to him, he couldn't say anything he just stood and started staring at Diego.
'You are just a small boy that cannot think like a man." Diego said to James and laughed out aloud. James was in shock. He was trying to understand what's going on, why will Diego talk to him in such a manner.
'How dare you? Do you realize you are speaking to James Augustine?" James said to Diego angrily. Diego stopped laughing when he heard what James said then all of a sudden he started laughing again.
James was irritated at his laughter and he wanted to give Diego a punch so badly. He was wondering what's giving Diego the guts to do what he is doing.
'Who did you say you are again? James Augustine my white ass." Diego said offensively. James couldn't take it anymore so he gave Diego a punch on the face. Diego men brought out their guns immediately ready to fire a shot, James men also brought out theirs. It was about to get bloody but Diego stopped his men by raising his hand.
They lowered their guns and James man also stepped backwards. Diego started laughing again and spat out blood from his mouth, he was obviously hurt from the punch.
'How dare you speak about Augustine's I'm such manners?" James scolded Diego.
Diego couldn't stop laughing and that's what angered James the most, it made him look stupid and he hates looking stupid.
'Did you really send your men after my brother?" James asked Diego again hoping not to hear yes from him.
Diego raised his head to look at James, both of them stared at each other for a while then Diego smiled.
'Yes I did, I don't know why y'all are so stupid, from your dad actually." James could stand anything but he'll never stand it if his father is insulted by anybody.
He gave Diego another punch, Diego was expecting the punch but it came earlier than he expected, he didn't feel the pain instead he started laughing.
'You were nothing before my father, he made you this famous, how dare you call him stupid?" James asked him angrily. Diego's mood changed immediately and he gave a tight-lipped smile.
'Your dad didn't make me, I struggled to become who I am. Do you have any idea of what I did for your dad before I got here? No! So don't ever say your dad made me." Diego said to James angrily.
None of all these that he has said mattered to James, all that mattered to him is that Diego is being ungrateful. He remembered clearly that there was a time Diego went to his dad for help and within a period of time he became famous.
'I worked endlessly to get to where I am, I did a lot of evil just to get here, and I don't regret any of it."Diego said to James. James was shocked to hear everything Diego was saying, it felt to him like Diego was about to confess something to him.
'That does not change the fact that my dad once helped you when you needed one." James said to Diego angrily. Diego shared his fist angrily. He was wondering what made James feel his dad was so perfect.
'It was just once he helped me." Diego said to James almost in a whisper. 'I know what I went through just to get that help from him, you can never know because you are just a spoiled little daddy's boy." Diego added. James felt embarrassed at the fact that Diego kept calling him a little boy when he was very much aware of his age.
The whole thing was getting messy, James wanted to give Diego another punch but Diego held his hand.
'I'll not let you hit me another time." Diego said to James angrily and threw his hand away.
'Why did you choose to betray me after everything we have done together?" James asked Diego when he was already getting calm, he was sad because they have done a lot together within these few periods of time and those moments meant a lot to him.
James was beginning to see Diego as not just a friend but a brother for helping him kill the person that killed his father.
'That's why i said you are stupid." James was shocked when he heard what Diego said, James was trying to make peace and forgive Diego for trying to kill his brother without telling him about it.
'I forgive you, but I want you to withdraw and tell your men to return back and stop the search." James said to Diego trying to make peace with Diego. Diego looked at James and started laughing.
James was wondering what's making Diego laugh because he cannot remember when he said anything funny.
'What's funny!" James asked Diego when he couldn't hold the question in again. Diego stopped laughing when James asked him the question.
'Who do you think you are to tell me what to do and what not to do?" James was getting tired of the whole thing, he was wondering why Diego is trying to make the whole thing worse than it actually is already.
'I told you earlier you are a small boy that knows nothing." Diego said to James. James shared his fist and hit his chin. He was slowly getting very angry but he just controlled it so he'll not be the one to make matters worse.
'I told you to stop calling me a small boy." James said angrily to Diego. Diego started staring at him. 'I have told you let's end this here and now. Just stop the search thing. I forgive you." James added. When Diego heard what James said he was angry again because James is talking as if he is the boss.
He felt James was trying to rule him just the way his dad riled the affairs of his life.
When Diego was younger there was a time he needed money to build his business very well, the only person that was available to help him was (James) father. He went to him and begged him for help.
Through the help that was rendered to him by the wolf lord he started his own wolf lord business and built himself very well.
But that wasn't enough for him, he wanted the position of Mr Augustine being the most feared and richest wolf lord.
'You'll forgive me?" Diego asked James, to be sure if he heard James very well. James looked at him and nodded his head.
'Yes I will bite you'll have to call your men back." James said to Diego, he was already calm because he felt the whole thing was dying down already and Diego is also coming back to his senses.
'Are you sure of what you are saying?" Diego asked James again. James was wondering why Diego was asking him such a question and he looked really serious while asking the question. James was wondering what must be going on in Diego's head now.
'Yes I am, you are my friend and I cherish our friendship a lot, so yes I'll forgive you." James said to Diego trying to make Diego know that he is very aware of what he is saying and he Jean every bit of it.
A smile escaped Diego's lips when he heard what James said, he wished James knew the real truth he knew James would not say such a thing.
James noticed Diego has been smiling since he told him that he'll forgive him, James was happy the whole thing is slowly dying down. His only concern is the way Diego had been staring at him with a smile on his face.
'Are you okay?" James asked Diego, the moment James asked Diego the question Diego started laughing. The whole thing looked more like Diego was slowly going crazy.
'You were saying you forgive me, if you know the truth will you really forgive me?" Diego asked James after laughing for a while. James was calm, he was wondering what's really going on.
'What truth are you talking about?" James asked Diego, the whole thing was driving him crazy already.
Diego keeps saying this and then that, he just keeps beating around the bush.
'Please tell me what truth you are talking about?" James doesn't know why he was getting really curious to know what the truth is about but one thing he is sure of Is that he doesn't have a good feeling about the truth Diego is talking about.
Diego did not reply to James immediately, he was waiting to see how crazy James will be before he heard the truth, then when he heard the truth, 'boom he'll go crazy." Diego thought to himself and started laughing.
James was wondering why he was laughing when he just asked him an important question. The whole thing was driving James crazy but he chose to be calm.
'The truth is I killed you father." Diego broke the news to James and started another round of laughter. James was shocked to hear what Diego said to him, he cheated his ears just maybe he is not hearing right.
'What are you saying?" James asked Diego, finding it hard to believe what Diego said to him.
