There was silence on the table for some minutes while Mr Russell gave Levi a scrutinizing gaze.The latter looked calm and unruffled as he reached out to pour himself a cup of water while waiting for the man to ponder over his words."But this makes no sense," A conflicted Mr Russell slapped his palm on the table."Levi, I know the CEO of Synergy personally. He is so wealthy... Why does he still need to scam people like this?"Levi didn't have an answer to this but he drained the cup of water and gave Mr Russell a sharp gaze."Just two weeks.""Huh, what are you trying to say?" Mr Russell didn't understand his words so he explained clearly,"Uncle, delay the investment for two weeks. Wait and watch for just two weeks to see what happens. If there is no news by then, I'll bow in front of you and apologize for the misleading information.""And then, you can proceed with the investment."Mr Russell thought of it and then nodded. His face broke into a smile as he raised a cup for a toast.

Ding!Levi leaned in to check the PC screen. His eyes glazed over the latest messages and he almost stepped away until he saw the last message.[I've gone through the document and done my research. Our mission is relatively easy however we have to go through a territory that is dominated by Julius]Levi's brows knitted at Eclipse's words. Who is Julius?He sat on the swiveling chair again and his fingers typed swiftly on the keyboard.[Who is Julius?]His message entered with the laments and cries of others. However, his message certainly caused an outcry.[Bro, which planet are you from?]- Muse added a confused emoji.[You really don't know Julius?][Omg, I wonder what that kingpin would say if he finds out a Merc has never heard of him. Hehe!]None of them ventured to explain but Sabre did; beating Eclipse to it.[You must have heard of Dominique right?]Levi's brows creased even more. Who is Dominique? Receiving no response from him, Sabre sent another message which made her seem l

They could sense Levi was low-spirited so they didn't bother him or tease him.They collected the artifact which was wrapped tightly and quite large in a square shape leaving them to guess it was a painting.The mission went quite smoothly till they got to Julius' territory. Hades switched off the car's engine."From here, we have to go by foot. They will never allow unauthorized vehicles inside."Everyone got out and Levi remembered his role because he reached out to help Sabre out.However, he didn't notice how she flushed or the looks others directed at him."This is quite heavy," Muse grumbled as he lifted the artifact with a comrade.Eclipse patted him as they walked forward. "It's only a matter of time till we deliver it. We just have to get to the other end and give the artifact to the owners."They were stopped by guards at the entrance. Hades quickly presented the fake IDs Muse had arranged since he was more familiar with how the place worked.The guards observed the IDs and

Switch!Levi stopped at the doorway as the lights flickered on. He didn't expect to meet Brooklyn awake with a bundle of files she had brought home on the bed stand beside her.She had been chatting with someone on the phone when he walked in."You are back," She smiled as she sat up.Her eyes slowly scrutinized his appearance, brows arching to see the all-black outfit he was wearing. Thankfully, he had removed his mask or it would have been difficult to explain."Hmnh hmm," He sat by the edge of the bed and peeled off his shoes.Brooklyn could sense something was wrong from his low tone so she moved closer and wrapped her hands around his waist.Her hair brushing against his neck as she asked, "What's wrong? Rough day at work."Actually she was a bit curious at what he did but she didn't want to pry his boundaries. When he was willing to tell her, she would be ready to listen to him."I..." Levi trailed off as he removed her arms slowly. He was sweaty right now and didn't want it to r

"Boss lady, what about Tyson's? I do feel their proposal was quite on point and profitable so—" The director laying out his complaint to Brooklyn suddenly paused as the conference doors swung open.This was because of the men passing by who also came to a stop when the doors opened.They were more focused on the unfamiliar one with a paper bag in his hand.Levi looked at the group of people behind Brooklyn with a thoughtful look. They seemed to have just had a meeting and were apparently unsatisfied with the outcome of the meeting.Besides, if he heard clearly, the director just mentioned Tyson. Is it the same Micheal Tyson he knows?Does Brooklyn have any business transactions with that man? His eyes darkened slightly at this thought.That was the same man Zoe had cheated on him with and he wouldn't want Brooklyn to have any form of association with him."You are here?" Brooklyn's expression showed that she was both pleased and surprised to see him.The director who was about to ques
