"Boss, the Lees set fire to one of our clothing factories in Bayfield," Grinch reported to Newton.Newton inquired, "Any casualties?"Grinch responded, "None reported, sir. However, the entire factory and all the equipment inside were burned to the ground. They were looking for something, sir."Newton contemplated for a moment and then turned to Grinch, asking, "What do you suggest we do?"Grinch exclaimed, pounding his fist against his palm, "I think we should fight back, sir. Let's destroy five of Mr. Lee's restaurants around Bayfield."Curious, Newton questioned Grinch, "Are you certain it was the Lees?"Grinch replied, "Eyewitnesses claim to have seen the Lee boys attack the factory today after ransacking the place in search of an item, sir."Newton responded, "First, we need to ensure their responsibility. Starting a senseless gang war would be unwise. I intend to confront Mr. Lee, but not in this manner."Grinch asked, "What are your orders, sir?"Newton emphasized, "First, we ca
Realizing his pursuers were rapidly closing in, Newton knew he had to devise a plan. Leading them to his mansion would be too risky, yet he yearned to uncover their intentions and identities.Maintaining top speed on his motorcycle, Newton spotted a road ahead. He swiftly reduced his velocity, making a sharp left turn onto the street before accelerating again.The sound of the car pursuing him echoed in his ears, prompting him to glance back and confirm their presence. Through the rear window, he saw a masked man firing shots at him.Quickly refocusing his attention forward, Newton skillfully zig-zagged and abruptly veered right onto another street. The screeching tires behind him signaled that his pursuers were still hot on his trail.Bullets whizzed past him as he maneuvered through the streets, evading their relentless pursuit. Determined, Newton swiftly turned into yet another street to his right, closely followed by the unyielding car.Ensuring his Desert Eagle was within reach, N
As the lecture came to a close, the lecturer posed a question to the class. "Who knows why Allison is not in class today?"The room fell into a brief silence before one student spoke up. "No idea, sir," a voice replied.Another student chimed in, offering a possible explanation. "Maybe she is not feeling well."Tonya, who was known to be Allison's friend, caught the lecturer's attention. "Tonya, you are Allison's friend, why is your friend not in class?" the lecturer inquired.Tonya answered, "She says she is not feeling well, sir. She will be at school tomorrow."With that, the lecturer concluded the class, and students began to disperse. Moments later, Newton noticed a crowd of students gathered around Jeremiah Lee, their attention fixated on something playing on his tablet.Curiosity piqued, Newton was pleased to see his classmates engrossed in something other than ridiculing him. As he made his way towards the exit, he heard his name being called. "Newt!"Turning around, Newton saw
"Boss, look at this," Grinch called out, holding a bullet casing in his hand, catching Newton's attention.Curious, Newton walked over to Grinch to closely inspect the bullet casing.After examining it, his gaze shifted upward to the area where the bullet had hit, revealing two circular holes in the wooden barricade."There was a shooting here," Newton concluded, a serious tone in his voice.Grinch nodded in agreement, acknowledging the gravity of the situation.Curiosity piqued, Newton turned to Grinch and inquired about the CCTV footage from the camera in the vicinity."The CCTV room was destroyed, sir. The storage room suffered extensive damage, rendering the footage unrecoverable," Grinch replied, conveying the unfortunate state of the surveillance system.As Newton glanced around, he noticed a bloodstained spade lying on the ground nearby. His curiosity led him to pick it up and examine it carefully.Despite his efforts, the pieces of the puzzle still didn't fit together, leaving
Tonya inquired about Allison's absence, asking, "Allison, where have you been? You weren't in class yesterday."With a hint of curiosity, Allison responded, "Something came up, so I couldn't make it. How was class yesterday?"Tonya's eyes rolled dismissively as she replied, "Boring as usual."Excitement sparked in Allison's voice as she asked her friend, "Did you see the cool guy who single-handedly took down four bad guys?"Tonya nodded, acknowledging the sheer awesomeness of the mysterious figure. "Yeah, that guy was total badass. I'd give anything to have his skills."Teasing her friend, Tonya playfully shared a rumor, watching for a reaction. "Word on the street is that Newton was the mastermind behind that badass persona. He was the hero."Knowing Allison's dislike for Newton, Tonya aimed to provoke her.Allison joined in the banter, laughing at the joke alongside Tonya. Their laughter echoed through the classroom, drawing attention from their classmates.Nicolas, seated in the fr
"Willis, I need you to do something for me later," Newton said.Willis left the room next, leaving Grinch and Newton in the conference room."With so much time left in the day, we could use it for your training, sir," Grinch said.Newton paused to think for a moment... "Sounds like a good idea!"Newton and Grinch walked out of the conference room to the firing range.Newton held the two golden pistols in his hands, with his ear muffs on.*bang* *bang* he fired at the stationary targets."Good one, sir. You hit ten out of ten targets in nine seconds. Grinch appraised."Can you do any better?" Newton asked proudly.He had noticed the massive improvement in his timing and speed.Grinch, without saying a word...*bang* bang*.He hit eleven targets in three seconds.Newton was stunned."How?" He managed to speak.Grinch smiled. "You forgot the technique I showed you last week. You could have done better if you had used it, sir." Newton accepted the challenge and breathed in and out twice.H
*He dialed Mr. Gregory."Boss," came the reply from the other end."Are you planning on going anywhere today?" Newton asked. "Right now I'm free for the rest of the day. I'm just coming back from the only place I had to go after the meeting, sir"."...Where are you right now?" "I'm near the popular Beanie's hostel, sir. I decided to visit some friends," Mr. Gregory replied.So far so good, the man was being honest, Newton thought."A few friends?" Newton asked."Yes, I have a few Beanie friends. They help me a lot with my investigations, sir. That's why I'm able to get first-class information about underground plots before they even happen," Mr. Gregory replied calmly over the phone.It was true that Mr. Gregory had done a good job of giving the North Mafia a head start with his information. He was very good at gathering information that was passed around discreetly."What did you offer them in return? I mean the Beanies." Newton asked Mr. Gregory."Nothing, boss. I don't have to off
"Group two's project exceeded my expectations in terms of the quality of materials used and execution," the teacher announced to the class.Nicolas and Jeremiah Lee high-fived each other."We rock!" Tonya exclaimed."All members of group three will get a hundred percent." The teacher said."Someone will get a hundred percent for doing nothing," Nicolas muttered."Who did nothing?" The teacher asked."We all did nothing!" Robert interjected, knowing that Nicolas was about to point out Newton as the person who did nothing for the group.All the members of group three stared at him in disbelief. They were about to get a hundred percent and Robert was about to ruin it."Excuse me?" The teacher said. "Yes, we all did nothing. The materials we used for this project were given to us for free. We also paid for the parts to be assembled, sir. We did nothing on our own," Robert said hurriedly, without pausing.His group members stared at him scornfully.The instructor was puzzled. He shook his
