George's eyes darted around, checking to see if everyone else was seeing what he was. When Daniel had vanished, he used to have hallucinations of Daniel in places where he was not. His obsession had become extremely harmful to his health.

Daniel smiled at him as he looked up the stairs, where Micheal and Shelly were standing.

Michael was also struck numb; Daniel was the last person he expected to see again. He used to wish his father had murdered him in secret and was only pretending to be obsessed with finding him.

But there he was, all polished and looked loaded from the expensive suit and watch he had on.

Shelly, on the other hand, had her mouth open in shock, as if she had seen a ghost, and her eyes darted back and forth between Kendall and Daniel.

Kendall was elegantly dressed in a pink gown that showed every inch of her curves. Her hair was neatly tied in a pink bole that showed every inch of her curves with curls flowing over her shoulder. She looked like royalty, and most of t

    As soon as they were out of the door, Daniel quickly walked to his car, almost dragging Kendall behind him.Kendall motioned for Daniel to hold up but he had no time to waste. From the quick scan of the house, he could tell George was taken to the room on his left. If the old man had recovered from his shock, he wanted to hear every word of his conversation with his son.They quickly got into the car, and he drove to the east side of the mansion and stopped the car in alignment with the room George was taken to. Kendall looked around, perplexed; the way to her house or to any place where they could hang out was in the opposite direction."Where are we going?" She askedDaniel grabbed his phone, pretending to be on call as he listened in on the Meyers. "Just a second, and we will be on our way," he replied. "Let me just make this call."Back inside the house, Shelly quickly called the assistant and ordered him to send everyone home.The assistant looked at Shelly, disappointed. They

    Daniel glanced at his watch before looking up at Josh. He wasn't in the mood for the man. He wanted to see Zain and give him his new assignment."I asked you a question; are you two stupid?" Josh yelled again."What's up, Uncle?" Kendall asked."Go in the house now!" Josh yelled at Daniel and demanded that he got out of the car."I'm a little busy; we can talk tomorrow," Daniel politely replied."This will not take minutes," Josh insisted.Daniel checked his watch once more, but he got out of his car out of respect for the man. Josh turned and led the way to the gardens as Daniel followed from behind.Kendall could only watch; her uncle looked very pissed. However, she could not follow them; she had no choice but to obey her uncle and go inside the house.In the gardens, Josh stopped and turned to face Daniel."Before you say anything, I...""Storming George's party to insult him? Is that your kindergarten plan?" Josh mocked. "Is this the grand plan and reason you abandoned the empir

    Daniel awoke excited about Zain's progress. He sat in his hidden apartment going through social media posts. The fundraising party was a disaster, and everyone was still talking about him crashing it and throwing the money at George's feet.He read the messages with a smirk on his face. He could only assume it had taken a lot of pills to get the old fool through his sleep. However, he wanted to put him in a condition that would prevent the pills from working.Then there was Shelly, who dared him. The useless thing still thought she was mighty but he was going to teach her a lesson that she was going to live to remember.He quickly called Zain's line and asked for Lidigo documents that contained Shelly's signature. According to her files, she was in charge of management which seemed odd given that she was a bioengineer.He quickly ordered the Relic to duplicate the signature and electronically sign it on loan documents worth millions.There was silence."Rexa, is there a problem?"

    George, on the other side, woke up with a banging headache. He had hoped to get to work on capturing Daniel and finding out where the boy was hiding the relic, but the pain was so intense to even move.He quickly called Michael and requested that he work on the sewer rat. He wanted him to drop everything he was doing and concentrate on locating Daniel.Michael had not slept; he had spent the entire night thinking about the relic. His father's claims made sense, especially when he thought of all the interesting machines that Daniel used to come up with.The machines were a work of genius, and only his father's explanation of the artifact made sense. An alien object of immense power capable of fusing with the human mind and machine. If such a powerful object existed, it would be a game changer.He glanced at his father. It also made sense as to why he was so obsessed with Daniel that he nearly lost his mind."Michael!" George yelled at him, finally grabbing his attention."Let me find y

    As they both laughed, Daniel tossed Zain's glass of wine. He checked his watch; it was nearly six o'clock in the evening, and it was clear that the Meyers' minds were racing as they tried to figure out who got the loan on their behalf.Daniel referred to it as a work of art, and it was one of many plans he had hatched over the course of five years."I'm not sure how you got the bank to give them such a large sum of money in such a short period of time." Zain enquired."I've got my own people in the bank," Daniel lied.Zain stared at his glass.Daniel noticed and smiled, "I thought you liked spy movies?" He made a joke. "This operation is a puzzle and each team member is only supposed to know a piece of the puzzle to avoid spilling out information once caught," Daniel explained.Zain smiled as he took a sip of his wine, he had a lot of questions but chose to keep them to himself."So what's next?" Zain asked."Start printing out invitations to the launch of my new company," Daniel re

    Meanwhile, Daniel was about to call it a night when Zain called, informing him about George's condition. He did not have all the details, but all he knew was that an ambulance had arrived and taken the old man to the hospital."Find out what's wrong with him and keep me updated," Daniel snarled.He had only begun his vengeance and was yet at the pick. George Meyers was yet to feel his wrath, so the idiot was supposed to live.He stood up and began pacing the room; without George, there would be no vengeance, and without vengeance, his purpose for returning to America or running away was meaningless.He looked at his watch waiting for Zain's call. The old man needed to be alive, he was tempted to call the hospital but quickly talked himself out of it. The anxiety was killing him, he wanted to know the fate. He quickly grabbed his car keys and ran out of the apartment. He was at the hospital in an hour. He packed his car in the hospital car park and called Zain but his friend still

    "No, no, it should be the other way around; the stupid bank tried to launder the money using our company!" The lawyer yelled.Shelly was shaking, for the first time, she was caught tongue-tied. It was her signature that was all over the papers, not Michael's or George's. And the only name she could think of that would frame her was George. It had to be George; she could not think of anyone else but the fool was not that stupid to ruin his company over her."I was expecting to find George, and as a loyal customer, we wanted to find a root cause before the FBI swooped in," the manager explained.Michael quickly snapped out of his horror and explained his father's situation."But please explain to me how someone can launder money through a loan; this does not make sense?" He asked.Before the manager could explain, the secretary quickly stormed in without knocking."Mr. Meyers, the FBI is here, and they are grabbing things," she cried out.Michael quickly got up and glared at the manager

    Meanwhile, Josh Hamilton sat in his favorite restaurant in the VIP section, away from any prying eyes. He had walked into the restaurant using the back door, and the guest he was waiting for was instructed to use the same back door. He sat, patiently waiting as he ate his favorite salad.After an hour, Zain walked in. He was fully endowed in black, had a black hood over his head, and wore huge dark sunglasses. He removed them the second he sat down and apologized for being late.Josh went straight to the point: "Are you the one that framed Lidigo with the money laundering?" He asked."I only set up the partnership with CADEX; I have no idea how Daniel pulled out the rest," he replied."I thought your job was to keep an eye on him and record all of his actions and doings!" Josh replied.Zain kept quiet."Remember this is for his own benefit, and we have to protect him, but we can't if we do not know what he is up to," Josh explained.Zain nodded in agreement; he knew he was betraying D

    Daniel placed both the heart and the brain in different cooler boxes, took two long trips to different parts of the country, and buried them both in different locations.His wish was for the old man to never see the sun or daylight again and for the stories of his existence to be a mere myth and forgotten with time.Once he was done, he instructed Rexa to delete the memory of the location in his head. Even Rexa went for it and deleted hers too si that Daniel's future generation would never locate the two organsHe went back for his body and burnt it while Max and his mother's bodies were taken back to the underground lab for the police to find, and the cause of death was ruled as lead poisoning from the leakage from the mine due to the blackout. By the time he headed home, it was morning, and all he wanted was to get some good sleep. He went straight to his mansion and found Aunt Carol on her feet, training her legs."It's over now, we can now pop that champagne," he announced.Aunt

    "If you want to live, stay calm and answer her questions!" Daniel warned them.He knew he was no longer in control, and Rexa was controlling everything using her own mind.Max tried to move his aching body across the room. Everything hurt; he felt like he had been tossed by an elephant on thorny rocks.Daniel moved closer to the bed, curious to see what Rexa was earlier calling a non-living thing."Move away from him!" Angela yelled at him.But he ignored her and was meant with a greyish-blackish tone of mass. It was human from the shape of the head and body, but the skin looked like it was about to rot but paused.He gulped as if he were about to vomit; it was not smelling, but the sight was nauseating."How dare you?" The old man yelled at him."What the fuck is this?" Daniel asked, looking in Angela's direction, but she looked away."A MAN THAT REFUSED TO DIE," Rexa popped up, "AND I THINK HIS CONDITION HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH WHAT HE TOOK ON THAT SHIP," she added."Shit, I guess

    "What did you just say?" Daniel asked."RODRICK IGRAM IS ALIVE, YOUR GREAT, GREAT, GREAT GRANDFATHER'S FRIEND, THE ONE THAT DIED," Rexa replied.Daniel shook his head, "That's impossible, how old was my grandfather when he first found you?" "18 YEARS OLD, SAME AGE AS RODRICK.""So that means Rodrick was born in 1807, and that would make him over 200 years old.""DANIEL, YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS; HE HAS TENS OF NEEDLES STICKING OUT OF HIS BODY, IT'S HIM; I KNOW IT'S HIM," Rexa replied.Inside the lab, Max called for backup and tried to get the magnates working, but without electricity, they were useless."She is here," his grandfather whispered."Who?""The relic, she is here," he replied with glittering eyes.Max quickly checked his camera footage and asked his men to search for Daniel, but they could not find anything."That's impossible, Daniel is nowhere near here.""She can manipulate sound or any form of matter, so do not expect to see Daniel near here," his grandfather laughed.Max

    "Anyone try to touch those guns and I swear, I will blow off their heads!" He warned on top of his voice.Rachel stared at him, shocked, while Cathy and Craig held each other's hands and moved to the other corner.Daniel removed his phone and made a call, instructing someone to come and guard the house. He ended the call and looked in Rachel's direction."Please stay in this house, and I will deal with everything," he assured her."You have no right to threaten me," she finally replied. "Actually I do, or maybe you want me to snap Mateo back into reality, and believe me, he still has men outside prison who he can hire and take you out!" Daniel warned.Rachel began biting her lips as all her words disappeared from her lips. Daniel just threatened her, he threatened her in front of her children."Mom, just do what Daniel is asking you to," Cathy finally spoke."Quiet!" Rachel yelled, breathing heavily."Watch what will come out of your mouth, because I am ready to make you sleep until

    When morning came and news of George Meyers' arrest was all over the news. Daniel, who had not slept because of the tunnel below Max's hospital, sat next to his aunt, who was in tears.Finally, the day she had always hoped for came after her five years in a coma, but it was worth the sleep. She held her nephew's hand with tears in her eyes."You did it," she whispered. "Your parents are looking down happily on their son."Daniel smiled at her."I will pop the wine after I get the head behind the order," he replied."Did you talk to Max?" She asked.Daniel analyzed her question, "Did you know about his real parents?" He asked."He confessed when I was in my coma," she replied. "I hope you understand he is just a victim of his family's greed.""I know we talked, though I had to kidnap him in order to make him talk," he confessed."What? Please tell me you did not hurt him." "Of course not; he is fine," Daniel assured her.Cathy, who was taking a shower, finished up and joined them."Gr

    Daniel slowly took a seat, trying to process everything. His best friend was Max's half-brother. He stared long and hard at him. There was a little resemblance physically and even in the way they carried themselves with the "I do not care" attitude, though Max was a total jerk if one did not know him personally.Zain was a more free type compared to Max, who always seemed to be above others. It was only after some time that he eventually warmed up. He wondered if that was part of the plan so that he could not suspect anything.He had a lot of questions in his head and a lot of memories kept popping up, but he could not comprehend the fact that the partner was around him all this time and neither George nor Josh or Gabriel suspected anything."Are you the one that shut down power at the Jerk's hospital?" Zain asked, trying to snap him out of his thoughts."Yeah, there is a private elevator in the hospital that leads underground, right?" Daniel asked."Tell me where Kendall is, and I wi

    Craig's heart began beating fast, and he was not sure how to react. The old man was sick in the head. He had held the man in high esteem, but knowing the man personally, made him want to vomit.First, he forced his niece to have sex against her will, and when that was not enough, he even went further and stole sperm from the man he drugged her with."Are we together?" Josh asked.Craig cleared his throat."Does Daniel know about this sperm?" Craig finally asked."No…," Josh replied. "This is about freeing your sister, but if you want, you can tell Daniel and ruin your chances.""This is betraying Daniel!" Craig raised his voice. "What kind of person are you?""Does Daniel know about the contract you signed with the partner?" Josh asked with a smile.Craig looked away."So what you are doing is not betraying, but what I am doing is betraying?" He asked. "If I am not correct, I would guess that you are going to allow Daniel to have a child that will be owned by the partner?" He asked.

    Daniel clenched his shaking hand, realizing how deep the betrayal was. A voice deep inside of him told him to go upstairs and confront them, but another voice told him to stay calm and use his head."WE FOUND THE PARTNER, DANIEL," Rexa whispered in excitement. "THIS EXPLAINS HOW ZAIN KNEW ABOUT THE RELIC FROM CHILDHOOD," she added.Daniel closed his eyes; he was not as excited as she was. He was somehow disappointed and not impressed that it turned out to be Max's family.But he was going to give credit where it was due. They hid perfectly in plain sight and knew when to show their faces. "WHAT'S THE PLAN?" Rexa asked, eager to take Max down."Shut down the building!" Daniel replied"WHAT?" Rexa was a bit confused."Electricity, Internet, I mean everything, shut it down!" He ordered"DANIEL, THIS IS A HOSPITAL, AND PEOPLE WILL DIE," Rexa warned."That's where generators come in," he replied, his tone a bit shaky. "DANIEL, WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO PLAY WITH LIVES," Rexa warned.Daniel
