A fleet of police cars screeched to a halt, encircling the area where the demonstrators stood. Then, a barrage of officers emerged and charged toward the magnificent hotel. The protesters were soon dispersed, and the officers stormed into the lobby in full force. They demanded that everyone leave hastily, eager to secure the premises.Everyone was dazed and confused as they scurried away in fear of the police.Sergeant Ronald, the leader of the police force, stood in front of the agitated mob with his megaphone. His piercing words echoed, commanding everyone to stand down, and his right hand stretched upwards as if he was an all-powerful ruler drawing a crowd’s attention. Through gritted teeth, he growled, "Done for you, Arthur Gardner. This is the end for you. I'll make sure you rot in jail, or you'll pay me a lot to make amends."A sinister grin spread across his face as his powerful baritone vibrated through the air, conveying that no matter how far Arthur ran, he would not escap

The five of them, Arthur, Alicia, Edna, Carolina, and Celine, were at the Golden Chamber's dining room early that morning. As they shared breakfast together, all eyes were on Carolina-- tonight was the night she would take part in the Southlake Dancing Contest, and it will be broadcast live on TV.Edna looked around at each of them before raising her brow to Carolina. "Lina, are you up for the challenge tonight? Do you feel ready?"Carolina nodded with absolute certainty. She had trained hard for months. She knew this was her chance to shine, and she was determined to make the most of it. "Sure," she said confidently.“I've been toiling over my rigorous training regimen for months now, firmly believing that I was ready for this moment. Tonight's competition will be mine to win, and nothing can stop me from going home with victory. At least, I can guarantee that no one here has any intention of cheating me out of a clean win.” Caroline continued.Celine then smiled warmly at Carolina,

The event was attended by many successful and wealthy young entrepreneurs. Two of the guests, seated close to one another in the corner of the room, exchanged hushed words as their eyes followed Arthur and Sylvia's every move."Look at that woman, so dazzling," said the first man with a mischievous glimmer in his eye, "I guess I'd like to have her."“Are you sure?” responded the second person. “I thought that man was her lover; they look very compatible.”But the first man only smiled smugly, shaking his head at his companion’s naivety. “Hey, who cares? Beautiful women only consider a man's property; I believe I will be able to get her." With these final words still ringing in the air, he settled back into his chair, his gaze not moving an inch from Sylvia.Sylvia felt a sudden wave of unease wash over her.“Sylvia, shall we move tables?” asked Arthur softly. His voice was level and soothing, but it did little to console Sylvia at that moment."Ah, no, boss," Sylvia replied, hoping th

Sylvia, and several of the country's important officials watched on in suspended anticipation as the operation unfolded.Anxiety rippled through the room like a wave. Seeing the tension etched into Sylvia's face, she squeezed her palms together tightly in an attempt to remain composed. But it was a futile effort; her composure crumbled bit by bit like a sandcastle against the receding tide.Occasionally Celine glanced at Arthur, who appeared unnervingly nonchalant about the entire situation and mumbled something under her breath about his confident demeanor.After what felt like an eternity of waiting and holding their collective breaths, the operation eventually came to an end, and thankfully everything had gone according to plan.Arthur beamed, his features crinkling with delight as he watched Celine's success thus far in her research. Even though this was her first experience of putting her knowledge to the test on a human subject, Arthur had faith in Celine's abilities and never d

Johan Monk had a masterful plan to capture and detain Arthur and Mr. Glitzy simultaneously, setting the stage for his grand entrance. He had ordered his five men to carry out his command at the stroke of noon.As promised, that afternoon, Johan's five men had been intently watching Arthur and the other guests since early in the morning at Lily's birthday celebration. It was almost time, and one of them finally gave the order – he was the leader of the five, after all."I guess now is the time." He declared with an air of confidence. This was it; they were about to move into action.They changed into their appointed costumes with lightning speed, some wearing clown costumes for the birthday celebration's main event. Others were already in costume, according to the plan. But a person wearing a clown costume stopped right before entering the room, a mischievous glint in his eye. He grinned confidently and said, “This will be easy.” He slowly opened the door and stepped inside, an eerily
