By the time Kyra came home, she was surprised to see Regan talking with her mom.“Cyber attack, you say…” Charlotte looked surprised.“Yes, I have enough evidence to prove it to you, if you want,” Regan told her. “Our government wants to control my game. We both know that, but that’s only a part of their plan. Their main goal has always been to regulate the internet of our country and the world and rule the digital era. For that, they’ll launch a cyber attack which affects many sectors, including the banking sector. With that as an excuse, they’ll pass new bills that’ll remove the dollar and bring the crypto currency on board. Even the global internet will become highly regulated with every user given a specific digital ID. That means, only those they allow will be able to play my game or even open your banking system portal.”“That sounds a big stretch, Mr. Regan,” Kyra opined as she sat next to her mother, not closely but a foot away. “You’re talking about the government monitoring

A family of five it was, and all five of them did not like each other, which made living together a literal hell for them.The father was a plumber. Recently, they lost their house because he was unable to pay the mortgage, and so they moved to this hotel. Since then, the wife was never polite with her husband. And the teenage daughters were too busy fighting for the mobile that they couldn’t care less about their parents’ quarrels.Their son, Bosner, was about nine years old. And he would look at others as if they were to be blamed for his hardships.Currently, Bosner was sitting next to an adult stranger in the cafeteria built on the southern side of the hotel. He gave gooseberries to this man and asked for his mobile for playing a game. The adult gave his mobile. Bosner played the online game, challenged his sisters and defeated them and got a good laugh out of it.“Can I take this mobile?” Bosner asked the adult man.“You want to take what?” The adult man was shocked. “You’re stil

Benjamin stopped at a small house to deliver the pizza. The young lady that was standing outside took the pizza but began to walk into her house without paying.“Excuse me, you didn’t pay yet, ma’am,” Benjamin reminded her.“I know,” she said, turning back. “But a few weeks ago, I was walking down the road, talking with a friend on my mobile. Some guy riding a scooter came in my way and then snatched the mobile from me and left quickly.”“So?” Benjamin looked confused. “What does that have to do with paying for the pizza?”“It has everything to do with it because you also came on a two-wheeler and reminded me of that terrible experience I had,” she blurted. “So, for compensation, I took the pizza for free. To be honest, this isn’t enough for compensation, but I’ll settle with it.”“Ma’am, everything you just said is being recorded with the camera in my helmet,” Benjamin said. “If I go to court with this, you’ll be forced to pay a few thousand dollars for wasting my time and effort.”“

Gage was adding new fish to the aquarium in Regan’s office. “When are you going to tell Russell, Boss? You are going back and forth on this decision these past few days. It hurts me to see you struggle so much for everything even at your age.” He said these words, knowing just how many pills Regan was taking everyday just to keep his old body going. “Though I don’t believe Russell is capable of succeeding you, he’s still your grandson. He’s got your blood in him, so I will give him my full support no matter what.”“You’ve got your father’s loyalty in you, Gage,” Regan sipped on some wine. “I appreciate that, even though I don’t say it to you directly. You know that, don’t you?”“I do,” Gage softly said.Regan looked at the fish in the aquarium which kept opening their mouths as widely as they could. “Look at those fish, trying to breathe oxygen, working so hard to keep their little lives going in that small aquarium. If those meager fish got so much tenacity, then how much determinati

Gage began to look for Russell without Regan’s knowing. And it took him only two hours to find out the hotel where Russell was staying at with his mother. Surprisingly, this hotel was not far from the school both him and Russell studied at. Russell brought his mother to the school to show her around. He looked very happy because his mother never came to the school and only saw it through pictures. They met the principal, who was still the same guy. And he didn’t give them more than a minute. He didn’t even give them coffee or anything, but they weren’t offended by it because Russell knew what kind of a man the principal was, and he already warned her mother beforehand. Had Russell been a bright student back in school days, he would have received a different treatment from the principal now, but Russell was a forgettable student. The principal just didn’t want to waste his time on them. Because it was a working day, Russell couldn’t show her all the classes, but he was happy with wh
