Shadow looked forward to meeting Greg Chase, the man he had admired while in jail.When Shadow struggled with Greg Chase in jail and discovered that there was something about Greg, he wished the day would come when they would meet under normal circumstances, like being allies.Finally, the day had come.Don Black took Shadow to Greg Chase's house.When Shadow saw Greg's house, he remembered the money that Alina "stole" and he felt a bit disgruntled.However, he was quick to shove the feeling aside, knowing how sensitive Greg Chase was, and the fact that he could sniff out the least weird scent of unconventional behavior.When Don Black informed Greg Chase that Shadow was going to pay him a visit, he was apprehensive.Knowing what had happened between Shadow and himself while they were locked up, he thought the visit would be awkward, and he couldn't wait to get over this first meeting."Mr, Chase, sir, you have guests!" Greg Chase's bodyguard informed him respectfully.Greg was alread

"Someone has to place an order for supplies. I heard that Boss Shen has been kicked out after the faceless person almost got spotted..." Bane told Don Black, Shadow, and Greg Chase.Shadow and Bane had not exactly kicked it off yet as allies.Frequently, they could be seen eyeing each other, and their egos often clashed.Of course, Shadow did not see himself as the last person in that room, he was a multi-millionaire, if not that someone had stolen his money.Even at that! One robbery could change his reality in thirteen and a half minutes if all things went according to his plan and arrangement.So, Bane could not tell him shit, although, he respected Don Black exclusively to an extent.As for Greg.They had fought before and Greg beat him, so why not leave him be?"A new client springing out soon after Boss Shen had been gotten rid of would definitely be suspicious..."Shadow said proudly, happy to be able to have an opinion in the sphere of power.Before Shadow went to jail, he and

Since Greg Chase's faction was stalling the faceless intruder, not much was going on in the city. Everyone was waiting for the right time to strike. Boss Shen had indicated an interest in seeing Don Black.''What does he want from me?'' Don Black asked the messenger that Boss Shen sent to set up a meeting.''I wouldn't know boss, the don sir. I am only a messenger,'' the messenger replied. ''Because I asked him for a favor which he didn't even succeed in, now he fixes meetings with me as if we are counterparts,'' Don Black murmured, but the messenger heard him loud and clear, and adjusted uncomfortably. Hearing someone insult his boss could not go past him without him reacting in whichever way, subtle or not. ''Tell him I will be here in my company over the next three hours. If he cannot see me within this time, he should forget about it, and spare me,'' Don Black told the messenger with a disrespectful and dismissive tone. The messenger bowed respectfully and hurriedly turn to le

Mr. Ban knew that it was only a matter of time before things got out of hand. For how long would he continue hiding? For how long would Barter be able to stay away from hurting Laura? For how long would Margaret Ban and Lucy continue to pay them secret visits? For how long would Charles Ban be able to stay without seeing other people and... ''Wait a minute!'' Mr. Ban suddenly said to himself. He counted the number of days that they had spent hiding indoors, pretending to be dead. ''Six weeks! For six weeks Charles has not had sex?'' Mr. Ban said to himself, although loudly enough for Laura to hear him. Laura's eyes opened instantly from the little nap she was taking beside Mr. Ban. She was the only female in that house as Mr. Ban had asked Barter to dismiss every single domestic worker. They could not risk any worker mistakenly revealing their secret out of excitement, so they would rather be without domestic workers. It was tough, but they got used to it pretty quickly. While M

''Austin, make sure you do not get too involved with her, okay? Just keep everything on the surface, and deliver the information that we have asked of you. That's literally all you have to do,'' Don Black told his son as he gave him a narration of the task ahead.Austin Black looked at his father with a mischievous grin.''But dad, what if she's pretty? I might want to go further down the road of a pretty woman, you cannot just restrict me to getting out information from her...'' Austin Black was saying this when his father interrupted him.''I said, stay on the surface son! What part of staying on the surface don't you understand?'' Don Black asked angrily.Austin Black got a hold of his bickering and raised his hands showing that he had heard his father loud and clear, and would do as he was told.''Where does she live? Where does she hang out at? How do I get her?'' Austin Black asked.''We are working on it. A partner of mine knows her, and would try and make her come out to a spo
