Revenge with The Strongest System

"Honey, help me!" A woman's voice from the phone line made Arthur gasp for a few moments. It was the voice of Eve, his fiancée.

"Eve? What's wrong with you?" asked Arthur as he frowned.

"Help!" Eve was heard whimpering in pain.

"Eve! Tell me, what's wrong with you, where are you right now?" Arthur instantly became anxious.

Eve didn't answer. She could be heard screaming in a stifled voice, as if someone was smothering her mouth.

"Your fiancé is with me, Brother. He's been so scared all day. In fact, I didn't do anything. Just playing around a bit." This time a male voice answered from the other side.

"Dave?" Arthur muttered. Of course he recognized who was speaking. The voice on the other end of the line belonged to none other than Dave, his greedy half-brother who was always jealous of him.

"Yes, that's right, I'm Dave. It's so nice of you to call my name after so long." Dave said.

"What did you do to Eve?" asked Arthur under his breath.

"Nothing, I was just playing around. Your beautiful fiancée is now sitting near me. Since she kept giving me trouble, I tied her legs and hands. I also accidentally slapped her because she kept yelling." Dave replied casually.

"How dare you do that to Eve! Are you tired of living, huh?" Arthur shouted angrily.

Dave laughed.

"Gosh, brother. You've always had a bad temper, haven't you?" The man joked, unfazed by Arthur's anger.

"Tell me where you are now, Dave!" Arthur exclaimed.

"Not so fast, big brother. I'm not done playing with my beautiful future sister-in-law. You should see her face, it's adorable." Dave laughed again.

"Dave! I'm warning you, don't you dare touch Eve!" Arthur exclaimed again.

Dave laughed for the umpteenth time. He also changed the phone call to a video call so that Arthur could clearly see how Eve was doing.

"Eve? Oh my God, Eve!" Arthur's eyes widened at the sight of his fiancée's condition. Eve was sitting with her legs and hands tied. Her mouth was also gagged with something so she could only whimper pitifully.

Again Dave laughed when he saw the expression on Arthur's face. Dave then stroked Eve's face and hair using the blunt side of a knife.

"Dave! Have you lost your mind?" Arthur shouted angrily.

"If I paint your fiancé's face a little bit, it will definitely be prettier, sis. But a permanent painting, of course," Dave said casually.

"Don't do that if you don't want to regret it." Arthur said quickly.

Dave's laughter died down. His facial expression suddenly turned serious.

"Come and save her if you can," Dave said as he stroked Eve's frightened face again.

The video call cut off, leaving Arthur momentarily stunned. After a moment, Arthur knew where to go to save Eve.

At a villa in the mountainous area of Arshen city, Arthur found where Dave was keeping Eve. Already anxious, he came alone without any preparation. Didn't even tell anyone else.

Dave greeted Arthur's arrival with a happy face. He knew that his brother would act impulsively when it came to Eve. The bait had been well eaten by Arthur, according to his plan.

"Let go of Eve!" Arthur exclaimed with bated breath.

Hearing that, Dave laughed. With a single gesture from him, the room was suddenly filled with big men with fierce faces, Dave's men who were ready to finish Arthur off. In that moment, Arthur realized that he had acted foolishly.

"Knock him out and tie him up!" Dave ordered his hired men to grab Arthur.

Of course Arthur fought back. He was a pretty good fighter. But a shot with a tranquilizer needle made him fall unconscious. And when he woke up, Arthur was already in a bound position like Eve.

"Gosh, you slept so well, brother." Dave's sickening words were heard as soon as Arthur opened his eyes.

Eve was again heard screaming and whimpering. A group of men could be seen surrounding her, making her hysterical with fear.

"What are you doing to Eve? Let her go, you bastard!" Arthur shouted angrily.

"Hahaha, don't get carried away, bro. My men just want a little taste of her body. When he's done, I'll return him to you."

"Bastard! Stop everything!" Arthur struggled, but the bonds on his body were too strong and his efforts were in vain.

"Or if you're no longer willing to accept her after my men are done playing, maybe I'll have them throw your fiancée's body off a cliff." Dave grinned.

Arthur's eyes widened at Dave's words. He knew very well that Dave was a crazy bastard who could do anything. That means, Eve's life is really in danger right now.

"Let Eve go, Dave. I'll do whatever you want, but let Eve go. Let her go," Arthur finally said in a lower tone. He couldn't let the woman he loved go through such a terrible thing because of him.

"Would you really do anything for her?" asked Dave with a sly grin.

"Yes, but get rid of your men. Eve is scared." Arthur replied. Although he was reluctant, but he had to give in this time.

Dave signaled his men to get out of Eve's way. After that, he thrust a piece of document in front of Arthur.

"Sign this if you want her to live." Dave ordered.

One of Dave's men untied Arthur's hands and handed him a pen.

Arthur took the pen reluctantly. Without even reading it, he knew that the document in front of him was the transfer of all his assets to Dave.

"I only have one minute. If you don't sign it too, then this woman will serve all my men in front of you, then I will throw her body into the ravine." Dave threatened with a gruesome face.

Eve cried even more at Dave's threat. It made Arthur unable to think rationally anymore. Arthur finally signed the document without any consideration.

"Good, very good. Love can make people stupid!" Dave took the document with a satisfied laugh. He then removed Eve's gag and untied her body.

"You did your job perfectly, darling." Dave said as he kissed Eve on the lips. Unexpectedly, Eve kissed back so hotly as if Dave was her lover.

Arthur's eyes widened at the sight.

"What are you doing?" asked Arthur with an angry and confused expression.

"Thank you for your cooperation, my dear brother. You ate the bait I set very well." Dave smiled as he put his arm around Eve's waist. Eve herself smiled as she hugged Dave in a spoiled way.

"You guys--" Arthur didn't have time to continue his sentence because a wooden beam hit the back of his head mercilessly.

Arthur was still semi-conscious when Dave's men dragged his body. He also heard Dave and Eve laughing at his stupidity, as well as Dave's order to throw him into the ravine.

At the edge of the ravine, Arthur was again beaten with wooden beams, before finally being thrown unceremoniously into the ravine. The cold river water at the bottom of the ravine immediately greeted his helpless body.

"Am I really going to die like this?" Arthur asked himself as he stood between life and death.

Arthur was dying and out of breath, but then he felt his body float into the air as a beam of light came.

"Oh my God, am I on my way to the afterlife now? If I were given one more chance, I want to make things right. I want to treat my mother better and make reckoning with those who used me deceitfully." Arthur used his last wish.
