''I have accessed everywhere. I tell you, we must go there tonight to take Barter from there. I didn't like the look on Barter's face at all. He looks like he needs all the help that he can get. He has been beaten up nearly beyond recognition,'' Shadow said to Mr. Ban as soon as he went back.''Fine. As soon as it is nightfall, you and...'' Mr. Ban started to say when he remembered something.''Wait a minute, those mercenaries that Mr. Chase hired, do they live in his house? Did you see them there?'' Mr. Ban asked.He knew that if those Mercenaries were in Greg Chase's house while they went to steal Barter, it would be difficult for them to succeed. ''I only saw one that Chase called Scissors. Apart from that, I didn't see any others. If they were in other parts of the house, I won't be able to tell because I didn't see any of them,'' Shadow explained. ''Those mercenaries are not to be messed with, we have to be as careful as we can. I wish we could just go in there stealthily, stea

Pius had his gun pointed at the chef and ensured that the cold steel touched the chef's head so that he would not do anything stupid.''I advise you to be careful and don't make any noise that would alert anyone,'' Pius said to the chef in a whisper.The chef nodded, raised his hands, and guided Pius to the room where Barter was locked.There was quiet around the house, and a few doors away from the room Barter was in, Pius could see that Greg Chase was in his study, as the door was slightly ajar.The chef whimpered and Pius pressed the gun harder on his head. The chef pointed at the door.Because Greg Chase never imagined that anyone would dare to break into his house, talk more of trying to save Greg Chase, he left the key of the door in the keyhole.''Open it. Open it quietly or else your head would blow off,'' Pius told the chef. The chef nodded and quietly started to turn the key to the door.Barter heard his door being opened and got up on alert.By now, he looked like a begga

"Don't tell anybody what you saw," Greg Chase told Scissors after he had changed form back to being a regular human being. Scissors had hurried into the living room when Greg called for him, only for him to be dazed, standing shocked on the spot as he watched his employer gradually morph into a fiery ball of fire and other elements that Scissors could not identify. "What?" Scissors muttered as Greg Chase successfully morphed completely into this unknown element. Greg Chase patted Scissors on his shoulder, trying to break him out of his daze, while Scissors just stared at Greg as if he was a ghost. In fact, Greg was a ghost as far as Scissors was concerned.Scissors considered it torture that he would not be allowed to say what he saw about Greg Chase to anyone. He just saw a watcher, for the first time in his life. Watchers were like a myth, and he just saw one, yet he was instructed to keep quiet about it? It was difficult for Scissors to keep quiet about what he saw. In fact,

''Greg!'' Laura said with a gentle voice. Greg Chase was speechless. Not Laura, certainly not Laura Ban, he was not expecting her at all. She was the last person on his mind, heck, he thought that she was dead. ''What the hell are you doing here, Laura?'' Greg Chase asked again, looking at Laura from head to toe and weighing her, noticing the obvious change that had happened to her physically. ''I came to see you, Greg. I heard you are a watcher, is it true?'' Laura asked. Greg Chase's eyes shone in disbelief.Where on earth did she get that information?He looked to his left and to his right, and then pulled Laura in when he saw that nobody was around to see them. Laura tripped and nearly fell on top of Greg as she was not expecting such a hard push from him. Then Greg shut the door and looked at Laura again.''Does your husband know that you have left the house?'' Greg asked.Laura shrugged.''He no longer restrains me like before. In fact, he no longer restrains me at all,'' s

It was not until Laura left Greg Chase's house that she realized that she had stayed out too long. She panicked. She would have accepted Greg Chase's offer to drop her off but she could not risk it. At such a time when she had started to be in Mr. Ban's good book, she wanted to spoil it already.Laura scolded herself. How could she have been carried away the way she was?Well, how could she not have been carried away the way she was?As she went home, her mind flashed back to the man she saw in the room when she was looking for Greg. Greg had said he was sleeping.Fully dressed? Staring at the ceiling? How? How possible was it? Laura thought about these so hard and deeply to the extent that she didn't know she had reached Mr. Ban's house. It was still pretty early, and everywhere was quiet apart from the incessant sound of crickets yelling. Laura paused in front of the gate and took a look around, making sure that nobody was watching her sneak in. She slid into the compound,
