As soon as the call dropped, Mr. Smith, bowing at Ethan's voice immediately, said, "Master, it's the leader of those who attacked earlier, and he will come back to attack again. But do not worry; we will be ready for them when they come."Ethan, nodding in agreement with Mr. Smith, said, "Of course, we already know they will come back until they get what they want. However, unfortunately, what they want is not what I can give them. Forward the number and the details of the call to the commissioner. Let him also be aware of what is about to happen.""Master Mark, the call was from a private number and cannot be traced, nor can it be forwarded. I can only tell the commissioner the details of the call by word of mouth."Hearing this, Ethan nodded again, then took a sigh before he said, "It was expected. I should get my daughter to safety first." He took his seat on one of the plush sofas in his grand living room and hence said once again, "Tell guard 3 to bring my daughter to me."As Eth
As soon as Isabella emerged from the dusty door building, she hurried in her brisk steps towards the car park where her vehicle was stationed, facing it like a magnet to metal. Upon reaching the car park, Isabella seamlessly slid into her luxurious car, as if it were a glove fitting her hand perfectly. Her thoughts returned to what she had just encountered in the dusty door building, and a quick glance at her left wrist made her sigh like a weary traveler who had taken a wrong turn on her journey.Without uttering a word, she picked up her fancy bag, which she had gently placed on the car's front seat the moment she got in, and retrieved her newly acquired pistol as smoothly as a magician conjuring a hidden trick.Hence, she heaved out a sigh once more, and her mind traveled back to about thirty minutes earlier, when she was in a dire situation, only to acquire this weapon. In this vein, she muttered this to herself, like a contemplative philosopher pondering the mysteries of the univ
"Gather all the guards; it is time I address them," Ethan declared once again. Right on cue, Mr. Smith took a second bow immediately and pressed the earpiece in his ear, announcing loudly, "This is Mr. Smith. An order from the master. Gather yourselves together and be alert. We are coming out."Mr. Smith then turned to Ethan, bowing for the third time and saying, "We are ready for you, Master Mark."At that moment, Ethan sighed, his exhale resembling the release of a heavy burden. He nodded at Mr. Smith, taking his first steps forward, with Mr. Smith following closely behind.Outside the compound, all the guards had already assembled as per Mr. Smith's response to Ethan's order. Each guard stood at attention in a straight line, forming five rows with a long line of guards in each.As soon as they spotted Ethan, they all bowed in unison and raised their heads simultaneously. In a perfectly synchronized formation, they stood with their legs spaced apart and their hands resting upon each
Everything Alexa said to Isabella made sense to her, and as such, since Alexa had already started her car, she pulled the car into a slow reverse and drove toward the road that leads to Ethan Mark's mansion.In this moment, it did not mean Isabella was too confident in the motive she was about to launch; however, it did not mean she had cold feet either. "Alexa, I think we should better start calling the f**ker’s landlord right now and pressure him to evict her," Isabella said as she drove on."You are correct, Isabella. We should call Elara’s landlord right away and pressure him to evict Elara Whitewind. If pressuring him does not work, we must threaten him. Anything that allows us to achieve our goal is what we must do. And right after, we must call the hotel she booked and make sure she was thrown out, so she will be occupied with a new problem," Alexa said."But allow me a few seconds to fetch Elara’s Whitewind landlord’s number and, of course, the hotel number she also booked nea
"Alright, alright, I will. Is that all you need me to do? Mr. Adams asked."For now, yes. You have only ten minutes to evict her, or your wife's phone will ring right now," Alexa replied."But what about the Housing Authority or the Rent Control Board? What if Elara contests it and seeks legal assistance to protect her tenant's rights? This is nearly impossible. Give me three weeks, and I will evict her!” Mr. Adams pleaded"Do I look like some sort of clown to you?" Alexa asked."No!" Mr. Adams replied instantly."I do not care about the reasons you give to the Housing Authority or the f**king Rent Control Board. All I want is for you to evict Elara. If you do not or make the eviction slow in any way, you will be in serious trouble. See the video on your phone," Alexa said.At this moment, a distant sound occurred on the car's system, indicating that the man on the other end of the call had received a notification on his phone. Immediately, Isabella heard,"How did you get this video?
Having not driven for too long, Isabella arrived at Ethan Mark’s mansion. The way she met the mansion and the gate indicated that something indeed had happened.The gate to the compound and to the mansion of Ethan Mark was heavily guarded by Ethan’s Mark security guards; hence, when she approached it with her fancy car, she was not allowed to go in.Yet, it did not mean Isabella was going to sit in her car for too long. She came out of it and approached the guard, who was standing strategically at the gate."My child, where is she? She yelled. But the gaurd said nothing, as he was not given any directive by Mr. Smith to say anything to anyone aside from gaurding the gate of Ethan Mark."Where is Ethan?” Isabella yelled again. However, it did not mean the security guard answered"Step aside, ma’am, and return to your car. The security guard said eventuallyBut this was what Isabella was not even ready to hear."I want to take a look at my daughter. Tell your boss to let me see her. I m
"Yes, Mom, I am fine," Sophia said."Where are you? Who is with you over there? Isabella asked."Miss Lisa is here, and she is taking good care of me.""Who is Miss Lisa, Isabella, and where are you? Isabella questioned."Miss Lisa is a good woman who Dad says is taking care of me, and we are in Paris, enjoying some good ice cream." Can I talk to Dad?""Has anyone tried to attack you in Paris? Isabella questioned once more, her voice in a loud whisper."No, Mom! Please give the phone to Dad," Sophia said."Great! Mommy is coming, okay? Mommy is coming to take you home, and you will be much safer, okay?""No! I am not going anywhere with you! Sophia insisted!"What?" Isabella exclaimed."I said I do not want to go anywhere with you. I will stay here with Miss Lisa. She is making sure I am safe, and I love it here.""But, Sophia, you shouldn’t be in Paris. You should be in a much safer place where you are no longer a target," Isabella said. However, if Sophia had a change of thought, it
"Are you sure of what you're saying?” Ethan asked."Do I look like I'm making this up? I saw him, and I can tell you more," Isabella said.Hence, right at this moment, Ethan said, "You can step in, Mr. Smith; this case just got interesting."Immediately as Ethan called on Mr. Smith to enter, without wasting any time, Mr. Smith answered and stood behind Ethan Mark."Isabella here has some great news for us," Ethan said, and right at this moment, he added, "Please repeat what you said to me the other time, Isabella?""The one who sent the ninjas of assassination missions to attack you is Davis John!"At the hearing of this, Mr. Smith opened his eyes wider, as if he had heard shocking news. And instantly, he took his gaze off Ethan and bowed.Ethan, understanding what this meant, said, "Not right away, Mr. Smith. Let us verify how our beautiful whistleblower came to know about Davis John being the one to send the Ninjas of assassination missions. Or is it one of her games to have us deal
