"What a scumbag! Does he even know how much the suit cost?"

"Bet he doesn't. Look at what he's wearing. Neat clothes, actually but they are probably cheap and imitation. Besides, look at his feet?"

More comments came flying from all angles.

The waitress shivered the more. She knew that it was the end for her. Perhaps she would lose her only means of livelihood as well. If the manager hears about it, she will definitely be in more trouble.

"If you know what is best for you, let's go!" The man muttered.

Brad scoffed but let him go nevertheless.

Please, I'm sorry," She muttered, almost in tears.

"What the heck is happening here?" A deep baritone voice boomed out suddenly.

The waitress looked up and gasped aloud. It was the manager!

The manager was a feared man. He doesn't like workers that lazy around. So, the other waiters and waitresses who were starting to gather around walked away at the sight of him.

"Good!" The arrogant man grinned. "Thank God the manager is here!" He sounded happy

The lawyers also arrived yesterday night.Brad picked up the phone and looked at the message. The business-oriented group has also arrived. The whole crux was complete. The party was going to go according to plan.Brad slept peacefully that Saturday. And well, he woke up very late. It was important anyway because Ava had informed him that the party might extend towards the night.They had to keep it secret because of Fernandez.A loud knock sounded on the door suddenly. "Brad, are you awake? We are going to grab something on the street. Will you come along?" Kevin asked."Oh, no. Don't worry about it. I will handle myself," Brad responded."Alright," Kevin uttered.

    Brad couldn't believe it. "Really?" He moved closer and felt the skin.The car was designed for the eyes, its features delicate. Brad couldn't get over the beauty, he was mesmerized."But where did you get this? New York?" He asked anxiously. "No, It was sold on behalf of Mercedes-Benz at a private auction held at the carmaker's museum in Stuttgart, Germany. Actually, the second of its prototypes has been made but it's in Mercedes' keeping," Leonardo explained further, with a smile. "And mind you, It's the most expensive car ever sold at auction," he added quickly.Brad turned to look at Leonardo again. "Auction?"Leonardo gathered his brows amazingly. "You've never been there?""No. Though, I've heard a lot about it.""Well, it's time you start going. There's one happening in New York by the end of the month. You should show up," Lorenzo told him. "But for now, we have a party to go." He muttered and glanced at the men standing like stature few feet away. "These are the men that wil

    Brad closed his eyes for a moment, as he thought about it. He needed to make a decision. There are a lot of people counting on him.He opened his eyes and looked at Leonardo. "If you are my ghost, you need to stay hidden too. We don't want to have Fernandez on your tail."Leonardo nodded once. "So, what do you suppose we do?""We need to make sure the group is clear. Whoever killed one of the members could be on the ship. So, we have to be careful. That means_" he hesitated. "You and I will be wearing a mask.""A mask?" Maxwell raised a brow. "That means your men won't know you now," It was a statement, not a question. "But that's not so good.""Well, that's the only way out for now or we could be walking into a trap. I will call another meet-up after I'm sure the group is all clean up but for now, we will stick to this plan," He said in a voice that left no room for more words. He turned to Ava. "Can you get any mask now? Black preferably."Ava nodded once. "I could order it.""You d

    Brad smiled. "Get up," He said softly. Liam shivered with fear and tried to stand but his legs went against his head. He couldn't imagine the consequences of what he had done. The boss could decide to kill him and nothing else would happen. Besides, he had disrespected the boss. He deserved whatever punishment he meted out for him. "I deserve to die but please forgive me. Forgive me for not recognizing you!" Liam pleaded. "Get up, Liam," Brad said in a slightly thick voice. The voice oozed the command that Liam's leg responded to at once. But yet, he still couldn't look at Brad in the face and he couldn't stop shivering. Lorenzo and Maxwell entered at this point, with the elders one after the other. There were so many that the room was filled up. Only a seat was empty, and Brad already knew who it belonged to. "I will get back to you, Liam but I have a job for you. No one leaves the party ground until I'm done. Watch out for whoever has escaped or is planning to." Liam released

    The door opened after a few minutes and Brad quickly took his mask. He covered his face with it before he looked up again, only to realise Lorenzo was doing the same as well.Liam pushed a man inside. The man was covered with bruises already."I found him wanting to leave the ship. The other one has been caught but he's dead," Liam explained.Brad stood up. He moved closer to them. "What's your name?"No reply.Liam grabbed him by the neck. "You will answer the president!" He yelled.The man sucked in breath. "Ryan.""Where were you going, Ryan?" Brad asked softly."Who do you work for?" Nikolai yelled from behind."Is it Fernandez?" Bruce attacked.Ryan looked up quickly and shook his head briefly. "I work for no one. I was merely looking around. I wasn't going anywhere. If you don't believe me, you can kill me."Brad nodded once as if he believed him. "Liam, take him and have his legs off one after the other," He said suddenly, schooling Ryan. "If he doesn't talk, take off his ten f

    Brad looked at Liam. "Have him secured until further order," He ordered.Liam bowed slightly and walked Ryan out of the room.Brad turned to the members. "You can all return to your countries. I will contact you if there's a need to. Maxwell, Lorenzo, and I will do the rest," He muttered.They all nodded in agreement."So, does that mean tomorrow morning's get -together will be cancelled?" Ava asked suddenly.Brad nodded once. "For now, I won't be able to show anyone what I look like until further notice. If at all I will see anyone, it will be in private, and after I've confirmed that none of them works for Fernandez or any of our opponents," he explained.Ava nodded once. "Alright boss."The members stood up at once. "We will leave then. I do hope we can celebrate this more anyway," Martin said with a smile."Soon," Brad muttered with a smile as well. "There will be time for more of this. The doctors should stay behind. I have something to discuss with you."The other members stood

    Liam went on one knee immediately with fear. "I wouldn't dare boss!""What did you do two nights ago?" Maxwell inquired.Liam hesitated, unsure of how to proceed.Brad moved closer to Maxwell and slightly patted him. "It's not something to be worried about. It's all part of the plan. I just want to make it look real.""But I don't dare turn against you, if it's real or not. It's against the rules."Brad let out a sigh. "Stand, Liam," He said softly.Liam complied slowly."I make the rules, Liam. I say what I want and what you have to do is follow it. Understood?"Liam bowed slightly. "Yes, boss. What do you want me to do exactly?""Get your men and make sure you cause trouble like you did two nights ago. Just that, the venue will change. I will be at Douglas' club by 9. Attack by that time.""And what will be Ryan's role in all this?" Lorenzo inquired curiously."Ryan will return tomorrow. He should show up at the club tomorrow because he's leading me to the underground meeting," he e

    Everyone was shocked.There was no way it would be Brad. Brad was poor and Amazing Fighter was right. It was two different personalities.“What! Brad is Amazing Fighter?” Kelvin asked, even more surprised.David couldn't talk. Shock kept him motionless and speechless for a long time.“No! No way!” Someone said suddenly amidst the silence. “Brad can never be Amazing Fighter. It's not possible!”“Yes, it's not!” Someone else chimed in. “There's a mistake somewhere!”And soon, everyone was already shouting about it.Suddenly, their phones beeped. They all stopped what they were doing and started pulling out their phones.It was a notification from Amazing Fighter. He just uploaded his picture.Everyone clicked on it and the picture that showed up on their screen made them shocked for another minute. It was still Brad.“Wait, are you saying that Brad pretended to be poor? And that was why Amazing Fighter has been hiding? Because we would have known it was Brad if he had shown his face ear

    Brad pulled into the parking lot while Sophia was on a call.“Alright,” Sophia hung up and looked at Brad. “I have to go see my friends,” she announced, with a smile.Brad nodded once. “I will pick you up later then.”Sophia reciprocated his smile and proceeded to open the door. She stopped and turned to Brad again. “There's actually something I want to tell you.”Brad gave her full attention. “Yes, what's it about?”“Well, the thing is I won the princess of the year due to Amazing Fighter help. So, I didn't want you to think I kept it away from you when you heard the announcement,” she explained.Brad smiled. He already knew anyway. But he appreciates her talking.“I knew you would get it actually. You are the best candidate for you.”Sophia smiled again, feeling impressed with herself. She leaned forward and captured Brad's lips in a quick kiss.Then, she rushed out without waiting for him to talk.Brad was shocked because he didn't expect her to kiss him, especially since he didn'

    Sophia hummed as she went about with getting ready for school. She was so happy that everything was over. She was even overjoyed that Brad was picking her up. She loved to be around him. If it wasn't for the fact that it would look even weirder, she could have concluded that she had feelings for him.But she didn't want that to disrupt their friendship. So, she was going to push it to the back of her mind.She got herself a black short gown that accentuated her curves. She was going to be proclaimed the princess of the year anyway, so she needed to dress very well.Aside, she wanted Brad to notice how beautiful she looked.If not anything, he should at least acknowledge her. She loved it whenever he did.Within less than an hour, she was already applying makeup on her face.She picked up her phone when she was done and dialled Brad’s number. He picked it up immediately.“Hello, Sophia.”“I'm ready actually. You can come over now.”“Alright,” It felt like Brad smiled. “I will be ther

    Sophia entered the room, with a big smile on her face. She has never felt so happy since all her born days. To even say she would be alive that day to see all the good news was an understatement.But she was happy and that was all that matters. Really!Exam is over! And she would soon be a graduate. What a nice day! Besides, all her problems were gone. Ned was gone, Vincenzo left already.Though, she was still bothered. He could come back but she wouldn't be in the city by then. Sophia would have been done with everything. She has a lot of money now and she could even continue as a creator. She has a lot of fans already.There just was nothing else she was supposed to be bothered about. Everything was good now!“No, don't eat like that!” Her mother was softly correcting little Lancelot.Sophia regarded them for a moment and the smile on her face got even wider.“No_ eat!” He murmured.The doctors said it was normal since Lancelot hasn't even spoken for so long. Even Though he still ha

    Some students walked out of the exam hall, stretching. "Damn, those questions were a shock!" One of the students said while the other clapped him on the back, laughing. "What will be will be." Brad, David and Kevin also stepped out of the exam hall, their writing materials in their hands. They had smiles on their faces and you could easily tell that the exam was turned out well for them.Rose also stepped out alone the moment Brad and his friends came out. When she saw them, she couldn't help but stare at Brad longer than usual, wondering, "could it be true ?"Ever since Cliare told her, she had been wondering, thinking non stop about it. She kept wondering if this random looking guy can really be as rich as Claire had told her. Gosh. He doesn't even look it."Rise?"one of Rose's colleagues called but she didn't hear she was too absorbed inher thoughts about Brad and his wealth."Is that Brad you're staring at?" Her friend got infront of her face and laughed..Rise fkushed and sta

    Rose quickly freshened up, changed into more casual wear, and headed for Rose's school.In a few minutes, she was at the school. It felt weird being in a school she wasn't schooled in. She almost felt like a mom.She laughed at her silliness and proceeded into the school. She had no idea where she would find either Brad or Rose but she kept going anyway. She was determined to meet with them, in fact, she would like to meet with both of them and have a serious talk with them.As she entered a hallway in the school, her eyes scanned the bunch of students who were rushing out of a class, and her gaze easily fell on Rose. Almost immediately, she spotted her too. With a big smile, she waved at her and Rose just rolled her eyes. She muttered something to the two girls she was walking with and sashayed her hips toward her."Now what are you doing here? I said I want you out of my life!" Rose greeted Claire hotly.Claire smiled and playfully nudged Rose on her shoulders, "Relax, cousin. Come

    "But how do I make someone who hates my guts, my friend? I can't even get myself acquainted with him talkless of making him my friend," Gary said angrily."But- " Gary hesitated, still thinking about all she had. Found out and all that Dylan just explained to him. He was still confused as to how all of these were possible.His brows creased as he looked at Dylan, "If what you're saying is all true then Brad Harrier isn't just a rich man…" he trailed off and paused, " He is actually the head, " he broke off again, his sentences coming out distorted. His heart beats quickened as he started to grasp the real situation he was in, "That means Brad Harrier is a mafia lord," his heart skipped a beat, "one that had the power and had every legal right to take my life if he felt the need and the government would do nothing about it?"Dylan nodded tentatively, feeling sorry for his friend."Holy shit!" Gary had thought the walk calmed his nerves and made it easier for him to think straight but i

    Gary was just reaching the restaurant at the same time Dylan arrived too. He shook his head as Dylan suddenly stopped walking and squinted at him.As Dylan approached the restaurant, he scanned the area of Gary's car but couldn't find it. He's late? He wondered, surprised, Claire was never late to their meet up here since he always came with his car. His thoughts trailed off when he saw someone who looked like his friend in the distance, hands buried in his pockets as she swaggered toward the entrance of the restaurant, his gaze already on him.At first, Dylan squinted at him, not believing his eyes. Gary shook his head as Dylan wouldn't stop staring. Then he left him outside and went inside the restaurant. Almost immediately, Dylan joined him across the table."Bro! Did you just trek?"Gary shrugged, "I told you I needed to clear my head, didn't I?""Wow. This is new," Dylan muttered to himself. He was about to start throwing questions at Gary when the waiter arrived and Gary immed

    "Hey man," Gary literally sighed in his response after he answered the call."Man," the caller, Dylan, drawled. "You don't sound good, "What's up? How far have you gone with the search for your man? Did the chick tell you who he is?"Since Dylan was the one who arranged the men he used to get Claire, he knew about it.On a normal day when Gary was his normal self, if he had been asked so many questions at once, he would have lashed out at whoever dared to try it but this time, he didn't. He only knew his friend was talking, he couldn't process his excessive words."Man, I need to talk," he pinched the space between his forehead, squeezed his eyes shut, and opened it again. "I need to clear my head." "Are you okay, Gary?" Dylan asked worried."I might lose my job soon, I can't be fine," he answered Dylan's irritating question. "What do you say we meet at the usual restaurant in…" he trailed off and his gaze slid to his desktop screen to check the time. "I'm about an hour?"Dylan had
