Everyone was surprised to see Scarlett the so-called devil in person. Scarlett sauntered forward, her crimson hair glinting in the dim light. "I must say, Max, you've become quite the puzzle for everyone involved. The Nexus is eager to get their hands on that device, and Dino here seems to have his agenda."Dino caught between conflicting loyalties, glanced at Scarlett with uncertainty. "Scarlett, this isn't what I signed up for. I just want Irrisia back."Scarlett chuckled, a cold, calculating sound. "Oh, Dino, you're always one for sentimentality. But you should know better than anyone that sentimentality won't change the game we're all playing."Max, still surrounded by mercenaries, eyed Scarlett warily. "What's your game in all of this, Scarlett? From what I heard, you were hired by Zaco and Zico and only god knows who the hell they are working for. I can pass you double what they are offering or what Neux is offering to give." Scarlett smirked, reveling in the chaos she had unle

Irrisia ran into the warehouse and was shocked to see how Max was tied down by Zaco. "Jez, you will release him right now or I swear to god I will." Zaco cut her short " You will what?" he said walking closer to Irrisia." Get out of here, Irrisia. I can handle this." Max said, as he was scared of what Zaco might do to her. As Zaco approached Irrisia, Max groaned in pain as he tried to struggle to free himself from the shackles he was in. Irrisia was transfixed to a spot. She was scared out of her wit. Darius was outside with Eddy as they tried to survey the surroundings. " We need to take it slowly, we don't know who might be in the warehouse. Eddy, I will try going in now but I want you to be on the lookout for any intruder." Darius said walking into the building. As he was about to get in, his phone ting.[Ting!][ Task: Rescue Max and Irrisia; Reward: $50,000] Darius looked at his phone and grinned " Why can't they help when they know he is in danger. I guess they have just be

As Max and Darius ran up the stair walls, Eddy followed behind them. He entered and met them on the system. " What is going on?" Eddy asked, confused. " I think you need to check it out, man. I think we just got a message from the system." Max replied.The trio sat down while Max and Darius left the system for Eddy to do his thing. " Well, it ain't much but the system is giving us a task. With a whopping sum of $1,000,000." Eddy replied with a smile on his face. "That's a lot of money dude. What is this task all about?" Darius asked shifting his gaze from the system and fixing them on Eddy at the talk of the heavy money that was involved in the completion of the task. " Well, it is telling us to find a secret hideout in Zaco. The system is not being specific so we would have to do the hard work ourselves." " No wonder the cash prize was a lot. At least it would have given us a lead on the case."" Let's talk tomorrow," Darius replied and walked out of the room. As Max walked behin

Scarlett observed what was transpiring between both gangs as she lurked in the shadow. She was waiting for the rightful moment to come into the limelight. She went ahead to try and dig up Max's past but each time she was up to some crucial lead, she would be automatically blocked. " I wonder what the hell is going on." Scarlett began to suspect Max was being backed by a powerful force that was unknown to Zaco and Zico. Scarlett reached out to Eclipse for some help regarding Max but they couldn't dig up much about Max's past." We need to know who our enemy is before we can win this battle. Max knows what it is to know about us giving him the upper hand to attack us. It will do us a lot of good if we can find out about him and his crew members." Scarlet said, looking at Eclipse." Don't worry, I will find out more and get back to you. Just give me a few weeks." Scarlet looked back as she was going " Make it one week. We don't have time in the whole world." she replied not looking back

As Zaco kept a tab on Max, he still couldn't get what he wanted. He decided to reach out to Scarlet. " Hello Scarlet, I need you to dig up something for me. And I would be needing it as soon as possible." Zaco said over the phone. It almost looked like Scarlet was Zaco's underdog. Scarlet looked at her phone again, surprised to see how Zaco was talking to her. " Zaco, you do realize I am not your servant and neither do you pay my bills? I would advise you to talk to me politely and ask for my help with respect when you need it." Scarlet replied over the phone.Zaco smirked " Am sorry, that was rude of me. Where are my manners? Can you help me out?" he asked again. Scarlett explained they had equally tried to dig up information about Max but to no avail. " We are not giving up though, there are other ways we can do it. But first, we need to know who his friends are, especially Darius. He seems to be always ready to assist Max whenever he is in trouble and he is also a good fighter. I
