Alexander opened his palms before his managers. “I have not offended anyone recently so why would anybody want to sabotage my company?”One of the managers walked up to Alexander and lowered the pitch of her voice. “Chairman, I think Benedict offended someone recently. You know that he’s currently with the Smith family so I believe he’s seeking refuge there. What if this was all his fault?”Alexander pondered for a moment. It made sense to him. Benedict had been out of town for days and it was unlike his son to get away from home. He wrapped his hand around his neck and groaned and then he began to mumble curses.The woman who linked Benedict’s interference with the situation was a subordinate of the Red family aside from being a manager of one of the company’s departments.“Get out. All of you!” Alexander dismissed the managers. He yanked off his tie and quickly reached for his phone on the table.His secretary quietly leaped out of the office.Alexander dialed Benedict’s phone numbe
“Troy!” Benedict called out the moment his call was responded to. “Are you alright over there.”“Not at all. If you have something to say, better say it quickly.” Troy flared up. Benedict swallowed the lump that had suddenly developed in his throat after Troy’s outburst. Troy was not polite to Benedict because the production lines of the land armor industry were all turned into scrap metals. What troubled him the most was how to complete the customer’s orders. As for the small orders, it wasn’t a problem for Troy because he relied on his family’s influence to complete the orders. However, the large orders he had received were the deadliest. The client Troy was bothered about was the Warren family. This was not just about compensation. He was so worried that he felt as if his head was about to fall off. Benedict heaved a sigh and began. “Troy, I understand what you’re going through and at this point, there’s nothing you can do but if you can’t salvage the situation then you should
Wayne went on eating as he pondered on the situation before him. He gritted his teeth several times, sighed, and ate more pancakes. In the end, the temptation of a hundred thousand dollars won over reasoning. Meanwhile, Henry had asked June to drive back to the hotel. June drove the car to the VIP parking lot and pulled it to a halt.Star Moon was back in business. “Sir, do you think Wayne would come?” June demanded the moment they stepped out of the car. Henry glanced at his wristwatch and made his way into the hotel while June followed. It had been twenty-five minutes since June contacted Wayne. Henry was counting on Wayne to show up in 30 minutes.The duo made their way to one of the VIP lounges on the top floor while Mr. Cross went to welcome Betty and Tiny Tim. A waitress quickly appeared with a bottle of wine. Henry uncovered his glass and the waitress poured some wine into his glass. He turned to June who was picking grapes from a plate. “I wouldn’t want to force anyone. I
“You’re from the Parker family.” Wayne spat.In this world, only the Parker family was cruel to their children to make them stronger. Wayne knew that those who were of age were chased out of the house to live outside on their abilities.Wayne looked up at Henry and let out a gasp. This meant that he was standing before the direct descendant of the Parker family. Wayne was speechless and he began to tremble. He was looking forward to meeting a rich man when the guards picked him up but he didn’t expect it to be the direct heir of the Parker family. No wonder his pancakes were paid for with a gift of 100,000 dollars.Cold sweat began to flow down from Wayne’s head. This meant that the young man sitting in front of him could be in charge of the Parker family in the future. He knew that the power and influence of Henry gave him access to the toughest and best guards so what does he want from him?Wayne saw that June had bee
Troy quickly pulled out his phone and placed a call to Miss Rose from the Eye of Dark Knight.“Hello, Miss Rose.”“Troy, What can I do for you?” she asked frantically.After seeing the phone call from Troy, Miss Rose was alarmed. She had been paying attention to the conflict between Henry and Troy. She knew that Troy had used his power to shut down the starmoon hotel for a while but Henry’s shocking revenge on the production line was a big one. Miss Rose didn’t want to offend Troy but she won’t dare to offend Henry either. The battle between the two of them was the battle between two beasts. The Eye of Dark Knight was just like the grass beneath them. If the grass is caught up in a battle between two beasts, it will only be crushed.Now that Troy had contacted her, Miss Rose was at a loss for what to say.“What do you know about Henry?” Troy went straight to the point.
In his room at the Villa of Springwood Garden, Troy had created a mess. He went on a rampage after his call with Miss Rose. Troy was destroying all the appliances, paintings, and artifacts in his room. As the heir to the Smith family, Troy felt like he had been reduced to nothing. Now that he was in this situation, he felt hopeless. Troy was respected wherever he went and now, even the Eye of Dark Knight which he considers mere did not seem to respect him.The only way Troy could vent his anger was by ruining the things in his room. He grabbed a stool and smashed it against his dressing mirror. Benedict walked into the villa and was on his way to Troy’s room when he heard the shattering of glasses. Benedict fastened his steps toward Troy’s room. The door to Troy’s room was wide open so Benedict caught a glimpse at the mess from a distance. “What is wrong with you Troy? Why are you ruining things?” Benedict cried out. Troy was standing by the window with clenched fists. His lips
Henry also knew that he was asking too much from Steven. No matter how skilled Steven was, it was impossible to use his tracking skills in an area dominated by trees and rocks.Steven raised an index finger. “What if I can connect their facial recognition to all the monitoring systems.”“Is that even possible?” Henry asked.“As long as they appear from the mountains, I think there’s a chance of finding them,” Steven replied. He tossed his food to the side and faced the computer.Henry nodded hopelessly. “Just do your thing and please, hurry up.”Steven needed to expose Chelsea and the others under surveillance before he could find them. If Troy was being meticulous, he could cover their faces or keep them inside a car.Henry was about to step out of Steven’s office when Mr. Cross ran over.“Sir, all the security officers are gathered.”“Let’s go immediately. We don’t have time to spare.” Henry replied.“Yes, sir.”“I hope the three of them are safe,” Henry muttered under his breath.H
On the helicopter, Henry kept dialing Steven’s number but it took a while before the call was responded to. Henry’s heart skipped a beat when Steven responded to the call. “Steven. Is that you? How are you? Are you okay? Where are you?” Henry asked anxiously. The sound of the helicopter was so loud that Henry was shouting at the top of his voice. Steven coughed. “Henry, I’m right here. I’m fine. I’m trying to fix the hotel’s automatic stimulating fire system.” He said and went on coughing. Although the fire had not spread to the floor where Steven was, the smoke was already getting to him. Steven had been using a wet towel to cover his mouth and nose but he was still choking on smoke. “The situation is already messed up. Why are you suffering yourself? You need to be evacuated immediately. I’m currently coming in a helicopter. I need you to stand by the window and try as much as you can to get away from the smoke.” Henry said. Henry was in a panic. He had already seen the video s
