"What will we do?" Sean asked Riley, who sat without any sign of concern. "Won't you say anything? The boss is in danger right now." "And why should I care? Should we sacrifice ourselves for him? I'm sure he will find a way to save himself," she said nonchalantly. Sean groaned in anger as the door flung open and Baroan entered. Sean quickly explained things to her. "Then we have to swing into action, Riley," Allison called to her. She didn't reply. "She said it's none of her concern. We have to find a way out by ourselves." "Why was he abducted?" Allison asked. "In front of his house," he said. "I'm sure you can track them with the nearby CCTV. I will call a reliable police officer for backup." Sean nods, "Okay, I will." Riley stood up and was about to walk out. Allison held her. "What happened? Why are you doing this?" "That jerk dared to cheat on me. After numerous times I overlooked it for him, he let that woman sleep over in her house," she yelled. Allison was surpr

Tom's pov.I pushed her away slightly, feeling the weight of my words, "We shouldn't be doing this," I said, but my voice betrayed the turmoil within me.Araina moved closer, her eyes pleading. "Why deny it, Tom? I love you. I want to be with you.""It's impossible. I'm already in love with someone else.""Are you sure you love her, Tom? I can sense your feelings," she insisted, drawing nearer. Pushing me gently onto the sofa, she kissed me. This time, I couldn't resist. As we kissed, I felt myself betraying Riley, every second eroding my loyalty."Get rid of the footage now," Max's voice boomed with urgency."Why, babe? It's is safe in my hand," she sneered."What are you saving it for ? What's the real purpose?" Max demanded, his tone edged with concern.She smirked, "As assurance.""Assurance for what?" he pressed."That you won't leave me. That you'll stay, no matter what," she stated, her eyes fixed on him.Max sighed deeply, feeling the weight of the situation. He knows it's dan

Tom's POV:We kept walking for a few minutes without talking to each other. Ariana seemed to have something on her mind, but she remained silent. Finally, she spoke, "I accepted your offer." I wondered what offer she was referring to and what we needed to discuss. It was as if she could read my thoughts when she continued, "About the house, I would like to move out from that house." "Oh, that... it's a great idea. I'll get you an apartment," I said. "Thanks," she replied, but she still hadn't voiced what was really on her mind. "What do you really want to say?" I asked. She stopped and faced me, her voice trembling, "Tom... can you..." "What is it?" I asked. "Can we go back to how things were?" she finally uttered. I was shocked, startled, and at the same time, my heart melted as she said it. ******* Max and Jeremy watched the body, blood splattered around it, a gruesome sight. Max wanted to rush up and see who the killer was. "You don't have to... he wouldn't be there anym

Max arrived at the destination the man gave her, an unfinished building likely intended for a factory. He stood on the rooftop, feeling uneasy as the chilly wind sent shivers down his spine. He wished he could escape this situation."You're a man of time," a voice suddenly came from behind him, and when he turned around, he saw the old man. The old man had orchestrated that blind encounter perfectly."Where is it?" the old man asked.Max let out a sharp exhale, "You should have pretended you didn't see anything.""Why would I pretend when I've seen it all? I can't believe the son of the most prestigious family could do this," the old man replied with a smirk."I should have let him kill you," Max lamented."Anyway, where is the money?" the old man demanded."That's a lot. I'll give you one million," Max bargained.The man burst into laughter. "I'm not here for that. So, you don't have the exact money?""Consider this an opportunity. There's no evidence," Max said, his voice icy cold.

After two weeks, Jeremy finally secured his release with some help from influential contacts, but the staggering $200 million fine weighed heavily on their shoulders.Mr. Ray expressed his concern, "We can't even sell the company for that amount. How could we come up with such money?"Jeremy reassured him, "We'll be okay. All we need to do is sell the company, and I'll do my best to make the auction successful."Aiden chimed in, worried about paying off Mr. Gabriel, "But how will we deal with Uncle?"Jeremy replied confidently, "I'll meet with him myself."Mr. Ray intervened, concerned for Jeremy's safety, "No, you won't. I can't lose another child."Jeremy remained determined, "You're not losing anyone. I'll negotiate with him, and if necessary, we can use him against Tom."Mr. Ray asked cautiously, "Can you make that happen?"Jeremy nodded.****The other light was off while the spotlight was on Jeremy as he presented the company, trying to hide their desperation.But people knew th

"Where the hell is Max?" Mr. Ray hauled as he threw his phone away.His wife trembled beside him, not knowing what to do, while his two sons knelt in front of him."How the hell do you even manage to get hacked through?" he yelled at them.With a quiet voice, Aiden replied, "Dad, we don't even know. This person doing this is really a professional.""Is that all you have to say? Is that it? So you mean you recruited a bunch of unprofessionals in security?" He bowed his head in embarrassment."Why did you even do that malicious act?" Jeremy spat at him.Aiden shot him a hot glare; it was believed that all prestigious companies always found their way around tax paying, even Mr. Ray wouldn't blame him for that."That doesn't matter. What matters now is what's next," Mr. Ray said."It's just a matter of time. The prosecutor will soon be here for an invitation," Jeremy uttered."So, who is going to go with them?" Mr. Ray inquired.They all fell silent, debating who should take responsibilit

In the midst of the desolate wilderness, the group stood, baffled by the sudden cessation of the eerie aura surrounding the stick they held. Scott voiced his concern, "Where is the demon? Why did it stop here in the middle of nowhere?"Their attention was diverted as a powerful wind gathered, swirling into a tornado that churned up a cloud of dust. "What on earth is that? What's happening?" James exclaimed, fear evident in his voice. Gradually, the wind subsided, revealing the enigmatic figure of a woman before them.Clad in a luminous white gown, with cascading locks of hair and skin that seemed to radiate like the sun, she was a mesmerizing sight. The group braced themselves for a potential confrontation, and Officer Stephen boldly asked, "Who are you?"The woman's eyes gleamed as she responded, "You can call me the Pathfinder." Intrigued and perplexed, they inquired further. "You seek to destroy Typhoon, don't you?" she inquired, her laughter echoing eerily, "It's an impossible

As they appeared, they vanished back to the boat. Sandra raised the sword high, calling for the so-called siren to appear from the river."Bring us our friend," she demanded. The demon crawled closer, snarling at their bravery. Sandra scared it off with the sword's radiant light.Scott, preparing to fight, asked,"Where is Peter? We brought the sword as you instructed, now fulfill your promise." Suddenly the river rumbled, and Peter emerged from it, unconscious, dropped into the boat."Now, the sword," the siren demanded, and Sandra handed it over. She let out a hysterical laugh, revealing her demonic teeth. They looked at her with confusion."Why do you think I sent you to bring the sword? You never reasoned it; you will be hunted down one after the other until you get wiped out," the demon said.Kira bravely stepped forward, her sword sparkling."What do you mean?" she asked."The sword's owner forbids anyone from taking it. It has the power of invisibility, and anyone who takes i

They all step back in astonishment as they see her. She glares at them and shouts, "Human! Despicable human!" They prepare to fight, but Kira intervenes, saying, "She is not here to fight." Sarah questions, "Then what is she here for?" The creature replies, "A test." Flying closer to them, she warns, "None of you shall pass unless you pass my test. Fail it, and you will turn to stone."They exchange glances, and Scott expresses his concerns, "I have a bad feeling about this." Officer Stephen agrees, "I don't think we can answer her question; it's better if we fight her." Kira urges them to reconsider, saying, "Fighting her means suicide. We have to undergo her test." She leans in and whispers, "I have an idea of the questions she might ask, and it's the same question she is well known for asking."They listen to what she has to say and then the creature presents her question, "Which beast has four legs, then two legs, then three legs but has one head?" They look at each other, waiting

They stood in horror, trying to process the recent events as the sounds ceased. "Where is Peter?" Sandra inquired, though she already knew the answer. They rushed to the boat's edge, scanning the river, but there was no sign of him; he must have sunk. "Can someone please inform me of Peter's whereabouts?" Sandra asked again, struggling to accept the reality."What are those creatures, and where did they take Peter?" James asked. "They are called sirens. They possess the power to lure people with their voices," Kira explained. Overwhelmed by the situation, Sandra exclaimed, "What should we do now? We're unaware of their capabilities!" Scott reassured her, "Please calm down, Sandra. We will find a solution."Ignoring the warnings, Sandra impulsively leaped into the river, and the others quickly pulled her back. "Sandra, what are you thinking? Let's think this through," Sarah urged, holding her firmly. Suddenly, Officer Stephen transformed into a hellhound and discharged all his power in

The morning began with a refreshing breeze, and Peter felt excited about the day ahead. With no school to attend, Peter was determined to do something extraordinary. So, he decided to go jogging, which was quite out of the ordinary for him. He pushed himself to jog with all his might, thoroughly enjoying the experience. But to his surprise, he somehow ended up in the Hoodman cave."Oh, no, not again," Peter muttered, unsure of what he had stumbled into this time. Much to his amazement, all his friends were there, including the formidable Hellhound. "We just had a tough fight yesterday; I hope we're not here to face another bullshot demon," he uttered, remembering the recent encounter.The Hoodman stepped forward and unleashed what he called the "Typhoon." Confused and intrigued, the hellhound officer couldn't help but asked, "What is that?" Seeking an answer, he turned to the officer who happened to be present. "Officer..." James hesitated momentarily, trying to recall the name. "Step

they explained to the girls what they had faced. Mike and Owen, unaware of the events from the day before, were also present at the school. Derek smiled at them, but Scott felt an urge to knock the teeth out of him. "Okay, what should we do before the chaos engulfs the whole world?" Kira asked. They couldn't find any solutions at the moment. "Even the Hoodman hasn't found a solution yet," Scott said. In a desperate attempt, they decided to talk to Derek, hoping they could reason with him. "Derek, you need to stop! Your actions are causing chaos in the world," Peter said, trying to reason with him, but Derek just laughed. "You took my powers away, and you think I'll sit idle?" Derek snarled at them. "If you keep doing this, we'll have no choice but to fight you," Peter warned. "Then come on," Derek challenged, rising to his feet and facing Peter. "Let's fight." Although Peter felt tempted to fight, the others managed to hold him back. "Let's meet the Hoodman; there must be a way out o
