060: Skeletons In The Hotel's Cupboard
When Levi arrived at the hospital, a nurse was wiping his father's mouth. He dropped the bag he had brought and walked to the bed."Let me do it.""Oh, good morning, Mr Lloyd," the nurse recognized him because she was the same person from the previous day."Good morning," Levi squinted when he saw the saliva dripping from the edges of his father's mouth. "How did he do today?""Sir," The nurse smiled nervously. "I learnt to go along with his words and that keeps him from reacting violently.""What do you mean?" Levi stepped away from the bed and discarded the tissue."He's been calling me Hannah since I got in. So I just smiled and nodded. Talked with him though he didn't seem to hear that. However, agreeing with his words got him to behave obediently."Levi's body stilled and his fingers slowly balled again. He looked at his sleeping father just in time to see a huge smile on his face.The nurse brought out another tissue and wiped at his mouth. "And doing that has caused him to smil

061: Need To Survive
Levi crouched down and followed the tiny trail of blood. Once he had confirmed it was indeed blood, he hurried back but those scary men from earlier had disappeared into the elevator so there was no way of him finding them.All he could do was to trace where the blood came from. However, a cleaner had already begun to mop the floor."Aunty," Levi rushed to the middle-aged woman. "Does this happen regularly?"The woman squinted at him through her wrinkly eyes without responding. Who is this young man?She is one of the longest serving staff in this hotel who has managed to survive this long but she has never seen this young man before."Aunty," Levi realized her thoughts so he smiled nervously and even helped with the cleaning."I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself first. I'm one of the newly employed concierges. Here..."The woman collected the mop stick without a friendly aura. But as she wanted to walk away, she warned him,"If you want to survive here, what you see, don't think. Wha

062: Curiosity Killed The Cat
The officers were startled to see their commander so angry and understood the young man sitting opposite him must be very important although they couldn't recognize him.However, they quickly tried to save themselves, "Sir, we are not the ones in charge of this case.""Bring the officers in charge to me immediately," The commander dismissed them with a wave of his hand.He turned to Levi with a submissive expression. "Sir, don't worry. We'll—"Levi stood abruptly, causing his words to halt. He walked to Sam whose eyes were reddened."What happened?""Levi," The man with the nerdy glass cried in a pitiful manner. "This afternoon, the guest I had served yesterday suddenly raised an alarm that the paintings he had brought were missing.""The manager was quickly informed and then they rounded up everyone the guest had found suspicious.""I was also among them because according to them, I had interacted with the guest and even knew he was here for an art exhibition."Sam shook his head, try

063: Levi In Trouble
Even in the subtle sense of danger, Levi still managed to position the recorder in the expensive suit he had gotten after realizing how fancy all exclusive members of the hotel were meant to appear and checked the black earbud hidden by his hair."Boss, are you there?" His voice was low but still reverberated in the silent elevator that was going lower."Yes," Will's voice came through after some seconds. He could be heard stifling a yawn."Are you certain of what you saw?"Levi checked for the small notepad hidden inside his jacket to see if it was still in the rightful position before replying,"I am. Don't forget sir. You have to call the cops the minute anything goes wrong.""Yes... Yes," Will sat down on a sofa with a canned beer in his hand as he rolled his eyes.He didn't expect only after two days of sending this brat to that hotel, he would actually figure something out. Is this brat really a demon?In the past, although no one knows this, NewsQuill had gotten messages to spy

064: I Am Him
Gasp!Brooklyn sat up on the bed suddenly. Her hands went round her robe as she glanced at the empty daybed restlessly.Why couldn't she sleep? She sighed and got up, heading to the balcony. The room was so empty without him.She rested on the rails of the balcony and sighed again. "Where are you?"Is he really not coming home because of their argument? What was he doing now? Was he frolicking around with some women?Brooklyn frowned at this thought. She shivered slightly as the night turned windy."Who cares if he doesn't come home or is frolicking with other women?" She frowned and turned inside."Brooklyn, you have to go to the company tomorrow. You don't want to appear so miserable with sleeping bags beneath your eyes tomorrow, do you?"She headed to the bed but on a second thought, she stripped and walked into the bathroom._____________Tut-tut!"Shit!"Levi removed the ear bud as the call disconnected. He tapped on his pocket repeatedly as the footsteps got closer.Bang!Just a

065: A Meeting With The CEO
It was past 11pm when Levi returned to the Hernandezes' family residence.He didn't expect anyone to be awake or to run into Hector especially after the latter seemed to have been away for some days.Hector was holding a glass of water and he looked dressed up like he had only just returned.He glanced at the wall clock and squinted at Levi suspiciously. "Hey, why are you sneaking in so late?"Levi didn't expect this because Hector had never been particularly keen on interacting with him but at least, he didn't show an aversion like Yolanda or Luis."How does it look like I'm sneaking in?" His brows arched as he stared at his young brother-in-law with an amused expression."Isn't it obvious? You are coming in so late after everyone has fallen asleep. Where were you? Are you cheating on my sister?"Levi actually smiled now. He took a step closer and shrugged,"Why should I report my activities to you? Because I come in so late, you assume I am trying to sneak in. What if I was really ch

066: Can You Afford It?
"The boss is in a meeting but has asked you to wait," A secretary informed Levi as she led him into the boss' office.While he looked around, she secretly ogled at him. Who didn't know him? Even if he only just joined the company, with the recent streak he's been setting, news about him had traveled far and wide.Even the boss is eager to see him."Is there anything else?" Levi suddenly caught her gaze and he didn't like it one bit. She was staring at him like he was a meal."No... No, I'll take my leave now," The secretary bit her lips sheepishly and walked out.Levi didn't pay her another glance as he turned his eyes to the interior design of the office.He noted how neatly and cluttered it was and frowned at the poor design taste although looking so extravagant.He didn't wander around and simply sat for a few minutes before the door reopened.The CEO walked in and Levi could see some employees backing away just as the door closed."Levi," The man's face wrinkled with a smile."Good

067: I'm All Yours
"Deal."Dennis' face displayed a sly smile as he nudged, "Where's your money?""Mr Dennis, all I need is a month ultimatum. Give me a month and I'll provide the money to buy this company."Dennis refrained from laughing. He gave Levi a dismissive look,"Fine. I'll indulge you this time. If within a month you are unable to provide the money, you have to sign a ten-year contract agreeing to work for us as a reporter for ten years without breach."Then he grinned cockily as he waited for Levi's response. $500,000,000 in a month? Ha! What a joke!If money was that easy to earn, he would have several branches of NewsQuill all over the world by now.He just didn't expect Levi to look more determined and concede, "I agree but I have a condition.""What is it?"Dennis had actually begun to worry that if Levi starts to get famous and prosperous, he might decide to spread his wings and go to other print media companies that would offer him better benefits.But with this current proposal, he cou

068: Rather Go Rogue
Hector's eyes narrowed suspiciously but he didn't say anything and headed to a sofa.Brooklyn heaved a sigh of relief secretly and waved her hand in an attempt to fan herself.Zelda walked forward with the files and informed her. "This is from Tyson's group. It has gone through the necessary procedures. You only need to check it and put your signature in the required places."Brooklyn nodded and collected the files. While she flipped through the pages of the files, Zelda was smiling at something on her phone."Hey!" She snapped when Hector suddenly snatched away her phone. She tried to tiptoe to get it but he was taller than her and even raised the phone."What are you smiling at so sheepishly like this? Is it from your boyfriend?""It's none of your business!" Usually, Zelda behaves respectfully but this annoying young master keeps getting on her nerves.Hector sagged in disappointment when he saw what she was staring at."A Twitter post got you smiling like this?" He shook his head a

069: A Contest On Dark Web
Ding!The PC made this sound when Levi rejected the invitation. Soon enough, he was redirected to a group chat.There were nine other members with their code names on full display and the administrator of the group who was the client.[Welcome Blackwing. Now the spots are completely taken up. I'll explain the details of the mission]The admin sent a message and Levi could see the chat boxes icon floating around but he didn't send a message.He only watched as other members sent their messages. He however noticed every other member had a wing icon with a number symbol.It was probably credits for all the previous missions they must have completed.He however was the only one that stuck out without credit and every other person probably figured out he was a newbie.However, the admin wasn't concerned about this as the page of the group chats flooded with messages.[Some unknown assailants took my brother, his wife and son hostages two days ago][Surprisingly, no ransom has been asked fo
