"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
Newton nodded and slung a strap of his backpack over his shoulder. He turned to look at the entire class and then walked out of the classroom.He was unhappy to see his friend treated the way he was in class.Then he remembered Jeremiah's threat to Robert. Jeremiah Lee was out of class for a while, and who knows what he might have done?Fearing for his friend Robert, he immediately rushed to meet him.Newton hurried to the street and looked around for his friend, but couldn't find him. He crossed the street to the other side where Robert usually took a taxi home. He couldn't find his friend either.Newton's heart was racing. He feared the worst had happened to his friend.*He dialed Robert.The call went through, but there was no answer.He tried the call five more times, but there was no answer.Newton asked a man standing by a light pole across the street. "Have you seen a young man with a goatee, average height, dark hair, wearing black pants and a white jacket?" "Uh... Yes. I thin
Newton left class at 7:00 a.m.He sent an e-mail to Harris. And also wired him the sum of $51,000.He was early for his class, scheduled for 8:00. "Get the hall ready before noon. Also, someone will be at the Event Center this morning, his name is Willis. Give him access. He will work with your staff to get the place ready."Newton entered the classroom thirty minutes later.More students had entered the classroom by now. He looked around the class for his friend Robert, but couldn't find him. Newton began to feel a little tense. He hadn't been able to catch up with his friend the day before, even though he was about thirty seconds behind him. The words of the eyewitness, who claimed to have seen Robert at the place where he usually got a cab home, calmed Newton a bit. But his fears returned now that his friend Robert wasn't in class. Newton looked at his phone, the time was 7:55.The class was nearly full except for four students. Allison Matthews, who had recently become a regul
He put on his designer hi-fashion clothes and shoes. He opened a box, took out a diamond-encrusted necklace with a large "N" on it, and wore it around his neck."Nah." Newton changed his mind.He took off the expensive hi-fashion clothes and wore an expensive and high-quality white shirt. The shirt looked plain and had no visible brand name on it. He took his black pants and put them on. After looking in the large mirror on the wall..."I might run into people I know from somewhere else," Newton said as he took off the diamond necklace around his neck.He picked up a small gold piece and inspected it before putting it around his neck.A small silver earring was the last piece of jewelry he picked up after inspecting his entire outfit in the mirror. "All done," Newton said as he put two drops of Clive Christian's Imperial Majesty perfume on his shirt.Newton went into his garage and picked out his favorite car, his Koenigsegg.Within thirty minutes he was at the Nort Event Center.New
The cheerful laughter of students filtering through the air and the soft, melodic chirping of birds in the nearby trees created a serene and calm atmosphere at Bayfield College.For some, these sounds were a mockery of the distinct surge of emotion they felt as they glanced over their grade sheets, which were posted on the large wall in the center of the school."Thank you so much for everything you've done for me," a voice whispered next to Newton as he traced his finger along the rows.Glancing down, he returned a warm smile to the small figure with large brown eyes who stood beside him with a cheerful demeanor.He shifted his attention to the results sheets, "How were your results?" He asked.Allison Cornor hastily reached into her purse, unable to contain the broad grin that spread across her face. "Here, take a look, Newt." She handed Newton her phone, her eyes locked with his, a broad smile on her lips.Taking the phone from Allison, Newton glanced at the screen, his smile widen
To Newton's astonishment, the men in black masks fell lifeless before him, their once threatening presence reduced to mere corpses. Only Robert, Grinch, and Mrs. Elizabeth remained, fear etched on their faces.Startled, Grinch and Robert turned to see a figure with dreadlocks approaching, guns aimed directly at them. It was Drax, the man who had caused Newton so much pain and loss."Grinch, you fool. I knew you were up to no good the moment I laid my eyes on you," Drax's gruff voice boomed through the room, his gaze fixed on the trio of traitors.Confusion filled the air as Grinch questioned Drax, "What's going on, Drax? I thought you hated Mr. Norton too."Drax let out a booming laugh, finding Grinch's statement absurd. "Hate? How could I hate my Father? That man gave me a life I never had. Even you, he provided for you, but look at what you've become. You've fallen so far."Newton's mind reeled, the revelation turning his world upside down. "You killed my father, you devil! What are
The leader of the group, a diminutive figure, stepped forward, his voice laced with authority. "Newton, raise your hands where I can see them," he commanded. It was the same individual who had fled the gunfight earlier, with the Beanies in pursuit.Surprise mingled with confusion on Newton's face as he processed the situation. "How do you know my name?" he asked, his voice tinged with astonishment.Newton's gaze darted around, taking in the sight of his men, weariness etched on their faces as they stood with their hands raised in surrender. Their eyes pleaded with him, seeking guidance and a way out of this perilous predicament.The shockwaves of betrayal reverberated through Newton's being as Grinch, his trusted security leader and friend, stepped away from his side and aligned himself with the enemy. Confusion and disbelief etched deep lines on Newton's face as he stared at Grinch, his voice trembling with a mix of surprise and hurt. "What's going on, Grinch? What do you think you'r
As they approached the remnants of the factory, a scene of desolation greeted them. The charred remains of the once-thriving establishment stood as a testament to the destructive power that had befallen it. dust wisped from the ruins, carrying memories of a fiery past.In the dimly lit expanse of the factory, Willis stood at the far end, his frantic waves beckoning Newton and the team to join him. Newton quickened his pace, followed closely by Grinch and the rest of the team. As they reached Willis, they found him standing over the remnants of a destroyed gas cylinder, the charred metal a stark reminder of the fire that had consumed the area."This looks like the cause of the fire here, boss," Willis exclaimed, his voice tinged with urgency.Newton's eyes scanned the scene, memories resurfacing of their previous visit when they had investigated the Bagwells' altercation in this very place. "Yes, Willis. We have been here before. The fire was caused by a bullet hitting a gas cylinder,
With cautious steps, Newton and his men navigated the desolate ruins of what was once a thriving warehouse. The echoes of their movements mingled with the scent of smoke and dust, creating an eerie atmosphere.The small secured office stood before them, its walls scorched and crumbling from the devastating explosion. Newton's kick sent the door crashing to the ground, his eyes darting around the charred remains of the office.Grinch chuckled softly at the sight. "There goes their precious secured door," he remarked, his voice laced with a hint of satisfaction.As they entered the room, Newton's gaze shifted upward, only to find a void where the roof and air vent had once been. The blast had obliterated any trace of the trigger mechanism that would grant them access to the secret door below."How do we get down there?" Newton voiced his frustration, unsure of the next step without the means to unlock the door.One of Newton's men, his M4 rifle gripped firmly, inquired about the door's w
"Grinch, instruct the men to turn around. We're heading back home. This is not our fight," Newton firmly instructed.Grinch shifted his gaze to Newton, his expression conflicted. "I could have advised that we stay a bit longer and see who wins. Then we could annihilate the winning side since they would have been weakened."Newton shook his head, his voice resolute. "No. Instruct the men to turn around, Grinch. We're heading back!"Just as Newton spoke those words, Arturo emerged from the chaos, boldly walking toward Newton's side, showing no concern for the gunfire erupting around him from the Bagwells' side."Look at that devil!" Grinch yelled, unable to contain his anger and frustration. Before Newton could react, Grinch extended his gun from the window and fired at Arturo. The shot hit Arturo's chest, but it seemed to have little effect on him. With a wicked grin, Arturo retaliated, releasing a hail of bullets toward Newton's entourage, drawing other Beanies into the firefight.Duc
Newton lay on his bed, his eyes wide open as he stared at the exquisite chandelier that hung high in the ceiling, casting a warm glow across his room. The intricate patterns of light danced before his gaze, but his mind was preoccupied with the events that had unfolded since he became the leader of the Angels mob.Thoughts raced through Newton's mind, flashing like fragments of a vivid dream. Memories of his encounters with danger, the loss of Mr. Alfred, the battles with rival factions such as the Lees, Beanies, and Bagwells, all played out in his thoughts. Each experience had tested his mettle and forged him into a stronger and more resilient leader.As his mind meandered through the labyrinth of his memories, one question nagged at him, refusing to be silenced. "Why did Harris die? Who was responsible for his untimely demise?" Newton pondered aloud, his voice filled with a mix of confusion and frustration. The loss of his classmate still weighed heavily on his heart.A name surfac
Excitement filled the room as Newton and Grinch marveled at the key in Newton's hand. Newton swung the necklace back and forth, the key dangling from it, catching the light. Grinch couldn't contain his enthusiasm and quickly stood up from the sofa to join Newton."Guess what I've found, Grinch?" Newton asked, a wide grin spreading across his face.Grinch gasped in anticipation, his eyes widening. "Is that what I think it is?" He leaned closer to examine the key. "It's a key to the box?" he exclaimed, barely containing his excitement.Newton nodded, his smile growing even broader. "Wills never lies. He was right to trust Mr. Anon. The key was indeed with the Cornor family," he confirmed.Taking the key from Newton's hand, Grinch carefully inspected it, marveling at its intricate details. "How much did you have to pay for this piece?" he inquired, his curiosity piqued.Newton maintained his warm smile, his gaze fixed on the key. "I didn't have to pay much for it. Just a small token of ap
Allison raised her gaze to meet Newton's, her expression perplexed. "Everyone knows, Newton. How did you not know? And why is it such a big deal?"Newton's attention was drawn to a tightly strung piece around Allison's neck. His curiosity piqued, his eyes widened in surprise. "May I see your necklace?" he asked, his voice filled with a mix of urgency and intrigue.Allison, unsure of what to make of Newton's sudden shift in behavior, hesitated but eventually acquiesced. She carefully unclasped the necklace and placed it in Newton's hands.Newton's eyes widened in shock as he held the necklace—it was a key, the exact same type he had retrieved from the Lees. The realization sent a jolt of excitement through him, mingled with a sense of apprehension."How long have you had this?" Newton asked, his voice filled with a mix of curiosity and urgency, as he held the key in his hand.Allison, still trying to process the unexpected turn of events, replied, "It belonged to my grandfather. It was
