Regan and Charlotte met in the Creed Tech company building. There were also other shareholders and board of directors that were there in the hall, but most of them were listening to these two talk.“If you take away the interest factor, you’re also taking away the most profitable stream of income for my bank,” Charlotte said. “How the eff do you expect me to proceed with this sudden change that robs me of my profits? This isn’t fair. I’m never going to accept it.”“I pretty much knew you’d say that, so I prepared something that’s almost as profitable as your interest scam, ahem, I mean, interest scheme,” Regan said.“Krgh, what is it?” Charlotte reluctantly asked.“Just like interest, we’ll go for a multidimensional scheme,” Regan said. “Taxes.”Charlotte raised her brow. “And how are you going to do that? By putting taxes on the gaming gear and so on? That wouldn’t be anywhere near enough.”“We’ll put tax on every transaction,” Regan kept his composure. “When a player deposits a hund

“What’s your name?” Karensa asked him, flipping her hair back.“Why is my name necessary?” he asked back. “Didn’t you tell me to eat and get the hell out of your sight?”“I did, but…” Karensa maintained a straight face, “it’s just a name. Why are you playing tough to get? Usually, I’m the one that does that to the guys that approach me.”Russell somewhat smiled. “My name is, unfortunately, named after a snake.”“A snake?” Karensa thought for a second. “Is your name Viper? Racer? Draco?”He kept shaking his head. “Damn, I didn’t know there were so many names that are also used for snakes.”“You can just tell me your name.”“Aren’t you quite impatient?”“Huh,” Karensa smiled a bit angrily. “You’re the one making me impatient. You’re eating my food. Don’t you think you should at least have the courtesy to tell me your name?”“Then what about your courtesy? Isn’t it rude to ask someone’s name without telling yours first?” Russell retorted.The left eyebrow of Karensa jerked a little. “My

Karensa was traveling in a car, while reading a file that had information about a particular someone. “Russell Bennett… as expected, he’s from a mediocre family. Only these poor people complain about how society works, but he’s not all wrong, though. My dad’s salary as a senate member wouldn’t exceed 200,000 dollars a year, but he earns tens of millions illegally every year just by using his position as a senate member. And 99.9% percent politicians are just like him, busy making money and filling their pockets deep with everything they can.” She kept reading the file with interest. “He’s not that good at studies, either, huh,” she smirked. “At least there’s one thing we have in common. He’s dated someone called Natasha for a few months until she rejected his proposal because he didn’t have a job. Can’t blame her for that. Mm?” Just then, she noticed a name. “Kyra Lynn?” she rubbed her eyes once and looked again. Her eyes slowly but surely widened. “W-What the hell? He married Kyra

William came to Tom’s house. He knocked multiple times on the door, but nobody opened it.“I know someone’s inside,” William said. “Either you open the door, or I’ll break it open for you.”“Who are you?” Tom shouted from the inside. “Did my shitty son send you?”“No. Why don’t you open the door?”“Unless you tell me what you want, I won’t open anything, mate,” Tom confidently said. “I advise you to not force me to put my guns to use.”William didn’t flinch even at the mention of guns. “Where’s Russell?”Tom’s expression changed. “Russell? Who’s that?”William forced out a smile. “I’m a good friend of Russell, sir. I mean no harm.”“Didn’t you just say you might break open the door for me?” Tom snorted. “Your words clearly don’t add up, mate. Why don’t you turn your sour little ass and get the hell out of my property? Unless, you want me to call the cops, of course.”William looked everywhere on the floor. “I don’t see any footwear other than a pair of old shoes. Can I take it tha Rus

The verbal battle between Ross and Liam continued for a long time, longer than the time they were allowed to.Both of them kept shooting arrows at each other.What Russell noticed was that Ross was targeting mostly personal things related to Liam, whereas Liam was targeting the business and professional career of Ross and how he was receiving millions of dollars of funds from the foreign country every year, especially the current year as the elections were nearing.Even though it was Ross who was mostly asking questions, he didn’t get many answers as Liam replied to him with another question most of the time.Normally, one wouldn’t be allowed to speak this way in the senate because most people who would get interrogated would be guilty and so struggle to answer, but Liam was an exception. He was giving straightforward answers when it was necessary. At other times, he showed the audience who he was by asking them questions they had no answers to.In the end, Ross once again targeted Li
