George tightened his grip on the facilitator, ordering him to tell him where Daniel was. He was certain the artifact had been used, especially since the Facilitator smelled something burning. There was no time to lose, He needed to see Daniel right away.He and his son were so preoccupied with attempting to sabotage the device that he had failed to notice the type of impossible device that Daniel had pulled off."Where is Daniel? Take me to him?" Where is he?" George yelled. He was now grabbing the facilitator by the collar, desperation evident on his face.The facilitator tried to pull away, but George held on tighter, ordering him to be taken to where Daniel was."What on earth is going on here?" Josh yelled from behind the two.The facilitator looked at Josh, puzzled.

Inside the building, Daniel had noticed Kendall leave the room, and as soon as the delegates walked out, he excused himself and went looking for her. He grabbed his phone and dialed her number, hoping she wasn't with the Meyers.Fortunately, he noticed her walking back into the hall. He couldn't help but notice she looked panicked as she approached him.Michael and Shelly were not far behind. They appeared to be on the hunt for Kendall. Daniel quickened his pace. He didn't have to be close to her to realize they were following her.However, an alarm going off stopped him in his tracks. As security began to stand on all entry and exit doors and closing all doors much to the shock of all the members.Everyone in the hall started looking around, terrified of what was going on.

Despite the fact that the air conditioning was perfectly adequate, Daniel could feel the room becoming a little stuffy. He took a look around. He could see some of the guards glancing in his direction, so he went on pretending as if he was talking to someone on the other end of the line."What kind of danger do you mean?" He only whispered for his ears to hear.The Relic described how its energy would be detected by the machine outside. whether or not it was activated. George and his partners had always used the machine to scan for the foreign energy.Daniel began to panic for the first time. He began walking backward slowly, his heartbeat clearly audible."We have to hide you," he said quietly. "Even if you HID ME, THE ENERGY WILL BE DETECTED, Especially FROM INSULIN INFUSER," explained the Relic.Daniel paused, he now understood what George was up to. He was initially puzzled as to why he would draw such attention to something he had been looking for in private. The target was the

Outside, George had noticed the break in the line and some guards running back into the building.He quickly dialed one of the officer's lines, asking what was going on."A fight? What do you mean?" He yelled"Your son and the target got into a fight," the officer went on to explain."A fight?" George's eyes puffed out of his socket. He was confused, but then it quickly clicked. "It was a diversion," he screamed as he got out of the car. The stupid boy was trying to avoid the scanner. He quickly ran into the building and found a crowd gathered around Daniel, who had blood all over his shirt.His friend was trying to bandage the cut, but he was refusing. George looked around and noticed the shattered glass on the floor. He then looked up at his son and Shelly, who were standing in the corner.Daniel finally felt the relic stop sucking on him."YOUR MACHINE IS IN THE BACKSTAGE. YOU HAVE TO MOVE NEAR THERE FOR ME TO REMOVE ANY TRACES ENERGY," the Relic informed him.Daniel looked around.

George listened attentively as his partner thanked him for his service and ordered him to stop pursuing the artifact. He was getting released from the contract and all support was being withdrawn."No, no, give me more chance," George begged. He was sure and could bet his life that Daniel had the artifact and used it on the machine, though he could not explain how he had erased the energy.The partner, however, had already made up his mind. Ten years ago, he was sure George would pull off the task as he was a very ambitious man, but to his disappointment, the man did not live up to his expectations.So he was letting him go and pulling out of funding him and ordered him to stop pursuing the boy.Before George could further protest, the phone was cut off. He looked at the phone in disbelief as he tried to dial the line again, but he was blocked. He tried again but to no avail.He looked around shocked. He had just lost millions of dollars worth of support and it was all thanks to the s

Daniel's muscles stiffened as his mouth thinned with displeasure. There was no need for the voice to reveal who it was, as he already knew it was George Meyers behind the kidnapping. Even in her unconscious state, George kept harassing his aunt.The old fool had crossed the line and he was going to make sure he paid for it. The voice on the other side hung up while Zain kept inquiring who was on the other end."Daniel, talk to me. Who is that?" He kept asking. "What were they referring to?" he asked.Daniel did not want to put his friend in danger, so he had no choice but to lie. "The Gold," he replied."What but why play with your aunt's life over stupid gold?" he replied. "Who are they?""I will talk to you later," Daniel replied, hanging up the phone.He tried to stay calm, but his tense jaw betrayed his deep frustration. George was stupid if he thought he was going to hand him the relic just like that.His phone beeped and it was Zain. He tried to ignore the call but Zain kept cal

George checked on his men to make sure everything was going as planned. Carol was where he wanted her to be, and his men had taken advantage of Daniel stepping outside of his apartment to plant cameras and surveillance.As things stood, George was quite certain he had the upper hand. The sewer rat was not going to have any option other than to hand over the relic to him.He was supposed to be popping champagne as he waited for the boy to call back, but to his disappointment, he did not feel at ease. He felt like something was going to go wrong, just like what happened at the Melvin project.Out of patience, he decided to go to the hospital and lead the exchange himself. Getting updates over the phone was only increasing his anxiety.Meanwhile, Daniel had given a lot of thought to Zain's idea. It was not that bad and he would not lose anything. However, he did not trust Josh and still had no idea what type of man he was.What he did not want was another bioengineering finding about the

Daniel waited for news patiently; an hour had passed with no word about his aunt or a phone call from Kendall's uncle. Kendall kept assuring him that everything was fine, but he was beginning to regret trusting them.Just as he was about to get up and go and face George himself, Josh Hamilton walked in.Daniel quickly approached him and was ordered to follow him to his study. Kendall followed from behind, but her uncle told her to stay outside.Daniel's heartbeat became extremely rapid. Daniel was ordered to close the door behind him as they entered the study room."What happened? Where is my aunt?" Daniel frantically asked."Your aunt is safe; we managed to get her out without any bloodshed," Josh replied.Daniel closed his eyes, relieved."The good part is that George does not know that it was me, but I have a question: why is that man hell-bent on destroying your life?" He asked. "I have no idea why," Daniel replied. "The man is not okay upstairs," he added.Josh looked at him di

Josh cleared his throat, knowing the old man was planning his next move and biding his time."With the last strand of dignity, please find your way out of my house, or I will have you thrown out," he warnedGeorge was left with no choice but to retreat. If Daniel was in Josh's mansion, he was going to come out soon or later. He had no choice but to come out, whether he liked it or not. He needed to get back to school and the Melvin project was waiting for him.But, while he was waiting for the rat to come out and play, he called his son and ordered him to expose all of Kendall's videos.Michael was taken aback; his father did not appear to be in good health. And, taking into account what happened the day before, he began thinking the man was going crazy.However, he did not want to get on the receiving end of his father's wrath, so he went directly into uploading the videos. He clicked on his video files but found no sex video of Kendall. He remembered saving it under a certain name b

Somewhere, high on the tenth floor, tucked in his usual expensive luxury suit, Daniel Lane sipped on his coffee as he kept staring at the opposite building. Five years had passed since he was forced to flee his own country without saying goodbye to those who were like family to him.He was now back in the states, but I was still not that excited about his return. Israel has been so good to him, and the environment has allowed him to succeed beyond his expectations.He chuckled, remembering the day he made the bald decision to pack everything and trust Josh Hamilton. It was a calculated risk that paid off but in the early days, he had doubted.He spent five years in Israel, a foreign country with a different language and a different culture. A country George would never have bothered to look for him because it was so unrelated to the new world and type of business he had chosen. He graduated top of his new university just like his aunt dreamed for him and was able to launch the insuli
