“How could this be?” Troy wondered. The hacker began to swing his head from left to right. “No, I can’t get rid of it. This is very bad.”“You just need to remove the internet connection and turn off the computer right?” Said Benedict. Simon turned to Benedict with his eyes filled with disdain. “This will only allow me to be delayed from being tracked. If I don’t hurry up and hide my ID, the other party is going to track me here.” Immediately after Simon finished speaking, the entire computer screen turned white. While they all watched in astonishment, a few black words appeared on the screen. “FOUND YOU. ITS OVER” was the word smeared on the computer screen. Simon’s heart turned cold. *****Henry was seated in his car, drinking from a bottle of soda when his phone began to ring. He quickly picked up the phone because he had been waiting for a call from the Eye of Dark Knight but when he looked at his screen, he saw that they weren’t the ones calling him. “Hello, Uncle Nate.”“
Benedict knew that if he was one step late, Troy might sell him out. “Troy, I think I need to head to the bathroom,” Benedict said with his voice slightly shivering. “Okay.” Troy nodded. After Benedict walked out of the room, Troy plunged his hands into his pocket and turned to the door. He motioned to his bodyguards who had been standing by the door to come forward. The men made their way toward Troy. “Yes, sir.” They chorused after standing before him. “Go and keep an eye on Benedict,” Troy ordered. The men nodded in understanding and slipped out. A few minutes later, Simon was packing up and Jacob was wondering what to do with himself when the two bodyguards ran into the living room in a panic. “Sir, Benedict ran away.” One of them revealed. Troy was stunned for a moment. “Trash!” he groaned with veins popping on his forehead. He moved closer to the guards and began to vent. “How can you let him run away?”The other bodyguard who was trembling managed to speak. “It turns
Henry looked at Jacob. Guilt was hovering all over him and he couldn’t even look Henry in the eyes. “Is there something we should know?” Henry asked. After betraying his roommates, Henry was not expecting Jacob to just show up at the hotel with the rest. Jacob heaved a deep sigh. “I burned down the hotel.” He muttered under his breath but everyone heard him. “What?” Dalton screamed in disbelief.“Also, there was no 30 million dollars ransom. I lied.” Jacob confessed with his head lowered in shame.When Jacob summoned the courage to look up, everyone was staring at him with shock spread across their faces. “I didn’t intend to do all of it. It was Troy who made me do it. He caught Aida and threatened me. You can ask her. He kept her at his mansion in Springwood and then released her at the same time with Chelsea and the others.”Before Henry could say anything, Berry was already blabbering. “You betrayed Henry for your girlfriend? How dare you? You’re a son of a bitch.”Chelsea was
Henry turned to Jacob. “Just forget about it. You can leave.”Berry quickly turned around and shouted. “Wait, are you going to let him go just like that?”Jacob raised his head and looked at Henry with a shocked expression. He had not expected Henry to stop pursuing the matter. “Sir, think about it. You can’t let him go. What if he betrays you in the future?” Betty fired. “No. He won’t have the chance to betray me in the future.” Henry stated confidently. He then moved closer to Jacob and looked down at him. “Jacob, from today, our friendship has been dissolved. From today onwards, if you do anything that wrongs me, my friends or family then I will not let you off slightly.”Jacob sighed for the first time in relief. He was happy that Henry had chosen to spare him but he was also disappointed because he was going to be strangers with Henry in the future. “Thank you,” Jacob said repeatedly and stood up. “Since Henry does not want to pursue this matter then you shouldn’t be here. G
“You guys can make whatever arrangements that suit you. We leave in five minutes.” Henry said indifferently.***About twenty minutes later, Henry and his crew pulled up in front of the venue. He brought Miss Rose, June, Betty, and Tiny Tim with him to meet Troy. Miss Rose had already contacted her people so by the time she arrived with Henry and the rest, her guards from the Eye of Dark Knight had already taken control of the building both inside and outside. The door to the building was pushed open by several bodyguards and Troy walked in. One of the guards leaned toward Troy and whispered. “Sir, the area is surrounded by guards from the Eye of Dark Knight.”Troy sighed. “As expected. She didn’t even waste any time to join Henry’s side. This means that she had the intention of working with him all this while and was just playing games with me.”At that point, Troy was glad that he had stopped attacking Henry, otherwise, he’d have suffered losses in the end because If Miss Rose cho
Henry sat up. “Benedict is such a small figure. How can he ask you to attack me?” He asked. Troy sighed. “To tell you the truth, the McDonald family has something to do with this. The McDonald family and I are acquaintances and after you ruined them, I was provoked. Benedict ran to my place to seek refuge when you were after him then he began to instigate me against you.”Henry waved his hand. “Benedict is very familiar with these kinds of things. However, you used my classmate to betray me and then you burned down my hotel. I must settle this matter with you properly.”Henry was not ready to reconcile with Troy. Troy had caused so much trouble for himself and could only be spared if he managed to get on Henry’s good side. “I’ll pay. I’ll pay for all the losses as far as Mr. Parker would let me go.” Troy stammered. “How much are you going to pay?” Henry fired back. “500 million. Do you think that can cover up for the losses?” Troy asked anxiously. “Do you take me for a fool?” Hen
“Mr. Parker, I would have wanted us to become friends but considering my actions, I’ll settle as an acquaintance. I hope our families can form a sort of bond. I don’t intend to cause any harm and I hope that my past transgressions are written off. I look forward to a bright future.” Troy said respectfully with a hopeful smile. Troy was being calculative. After suffering such a huge loss, it’ll be unreasonable if he doesn’t get to form a relationship with Henry so he wants to turn their conflict into some sort of agreement. “No problem. I’ve never been stingy with my people. We’ll see whether the Smith family can become one of us or not.” Henry said politely. Regarding Troy’s statement, Henry was being careful. Although the two of them had reconciled, it was far from the extent that they could work together. Henry does not trust Troy now but if Troy performs well in the future, it is not impossible to get him on his side. “Don’t worry Mr. Parker. I’ll do whatever you ask me to do
Henry gulped his third glass of wine and began to feel dizzy.Meanwhile, Aida and Courtney were at the party. They were invited by Dalton even though Berry didn’t want Aida to attend because of what Jacob did. The girls were speaking to some of their classmates at a corner when Aida looked at the counter. She saw the way Henry pressed his eyes against each other and was rubbing his forehead vigorously. She quickly tapped Courtney on the shoulder and Courtney immediately darted her attention to Henry. “He’s drunk!” Aida pointed out. “Our chance,” Courtney replied. The girls giggled and dashed toward Henry. “Can we sit?” Aida asked. Henry sighed. “I think I need a moment but you guys can sit.”The girls rushed toward the barstools Henry’s subordinates had earlier occupied and sat on them. Although Henry didn’t like them in the past, he had come to appreciate the two of them after spending some time with them. Apart from being slutty, Henry had come to realize that Courtney and Ai
