''Greg...'' Don Black called, but Greg Chase was lost in thoughts. ''Hey, Greg!'' Bane called this time with a higher tone.Greg darted his eyes back to look at the men. Then he adjusted himself gently. ''It's obvious that our problem is not from the Ban family then, so we would do as I have said. Contact the Shen man, and look for a way around finding out what we need to know...'' Greg Chase said to Don Black and Bane.Then he stood up and left.As soon as Greg stepped out of Don Black's office, he started to call Lucy. Lucy's phone rang so many times but she didn't pick up. Greg shook his head, feeling bad. Apparently, he felt that she was mourning the loss of her uncles. Greg knew she loved Charles Ban so much from the way she begged him to give Charles a job, and the more Greg thought about it, the worse he felt. If only he knew that everything was a lie.However, Lucy was not in on the lie about Mr. Ban being dead just yet. She was in on Charles, but the memo had not yet
Mr. Ban had mixed feelings as a result of what he had just heard from his sister. He was delighted to hear that his business was up and running, but he had warned Charles Ban of the dangers of showing himself in the city, and now he had gotten shot at. ''I have warned Charles. I warned him to stay away. What if the bullet killed him? We would have been having a different conversation by now, right? What if he died?'' Mr. Ban asked. He was angry, but because of his condition, he spoke coolly. ''Thank the stars that nothing like that happened, and the family business is back, flourishing. You should be happy about that, instead of throwing tantrums. Come on. Look on the bright side. Your brother saved this family a great deal of shame, and he put his life on the line. You should be thankful,'' Margaret Ban said to Mr. Ban with a calm tone, and sat by him, rubbing his back in a bid to coax him to take it easy on his health. Mr. Ban dilly-dallied and shot a glance at his sister, th
Charles Ban had heard the noise outside and left the study where he had been waiting for Mr. Ban to return. He had mixed feelings concerning his brother's return. Of course, he was happy that he didn't lose his brother, and he was also happy to show Mr. Ban what he had made of his business while being anonymous the entire time, but he also knew that Mr. Ban would scold him for daring to loaf about. Charles Ban took long strides out of the dark corridor so that he could meet Mr. Ban in the open, where his anger would be doused by the presence of others. ''Charles...Charles...'' Laura AKA Ramian called as she heard Charles Ban leaving the study. ''Your husband is back from the hospital. Be quiet so that you can meet his favor...'' Charles Ban advised as he walked past Laura's supposed prison room. Laura yelped with excitement. At least, even if Mr. Ban refused to allow her out of the room yet, she would start to feel safe. She lived every day with her heart in her mouth, drea
Barter grudgingly walked to Laura's room. For some familiar reason, Laura was expecting to be let out of that room sooner or later, that very day. When she wanted to visit Mr. Ban at the hospital, Barter bluntly refused, but now there was nothing he could do. Mr. Ban had returned. The same Mr. Ban that she hated, the very man that she saw as her jailer, had now become her savior. Laura was pacing the room when she heard the locks on the door start to jangle. She quickly stepped towards the door with her eyes wide in anticipation as the door opened to reveal Barter's angry face. ''Come out. Boss is asking for you!'' Barter said to Laura Ban with hate.Laura was as happy as a child that had been offered chocolate, but she dared not express her happiness in front of Barter. She was not going to spite him like that. Laura stepped out of the room and waited for Barter to shut the door, before she walked behind him, as he led her to Mr. Ban's room. It didn't take long for Laura to
''If not that I had saved a lot of money, by now I would have been recklessly poor,'' Greg Chase said to Don Black. ''I thought you sent someone to Boss Shen?'' Don Black replied, asking Greg. Greg laughed with sarcasm and shook his head. ''Need I tell you what went down?'' He asked Don Black. ''What?'' Don Black asked, wide-eyed. ''In fact, a terminator is behind this because Boss Shen could not figure it out,'' Greg Chase replied. Don black glared at Greg. ''Well, Boss Shen agreed to liaise with us to find out who this culprit is. He asked his Marcus guy, so I heard, and that one couldn't go far. Whoever the dropper was must have out smarted him and misplaced him in thin air. He's a major air head,'' Greg explained. ''Either that, or there is a terminator out there, like I said. We can't fathom him,'' Greg Chase added. Both men hissed. Tired as hell. What was Greg Chase even talking about? Why such harsh and sarcastic words against your own faction? ''Greg, maybe t
Mr. Ban had become stronger after about a week and had returned to his usual spot in the study, observing his sales charts and plotting the next moves that he would make, big or small. He could not thank Charles Ban enough for saving his business, if not, what would he have done?He would have become a pauper, and that would be thanks to Greg Chase. ''Charles, I cannot continue to allow you to use my wife to run these sales. It is dangerous,'' Mr. Ban complained. Laura was set to go out to make a drop as usual, and Mr. Ban was skeptical. 'You don't have anything to worry about. Laura does not have to see anyone directly. What she does is she drops the product at its usual location and leaves. We have someone around there that oversees the area to make sure that nobody picks up the product except the person purchasing it. The person does not see Laura at all. The person does not even see the other comrade that supervises the area. It is majorly a blind deal,'' Charles Ban explained
When Greg Chase was in jail, he had an arch-enemy called Shepherd. Shepherd was one of the inmates that were fascinated by Greg's demeanor and tried to be friends with Greg, but Greg rejected his friendship outrightly. Nobody could believe it that day, not even the prison warders.Shepherd was the president of the prison. There was hardly anybody that didn't reverence Shepherd. There was nobody that didn't reverence and respect Shepherd, apart from Greg Chase, inmate 99651. Greg was sitting alone as usual in the cafeteria when Shepherd sent his subordinates to call Greg over to his table for a friendly chat.''Make sure you don't bully him,'' Shepherd warned his boys because he knew how nasty they could get.''Sure boss!'' One of the boys had said, and then he walked over to Greg Chase's table with three other boys from his gang. They were men actually, but they behaved like boys as they lacked maturity and depended on bullying other inmates as if their lives depended on it. ''
''Laura, why did you kill that lady, Barter's sister? Didn't you know that she was his sister?'' Mr. Ban asked.Laura was silent, looking at her feet.''Laura, I am talking to you. You need to speak up. I hope you know that it is because of me you are still alive. You are smart, so I am sure you know that for a fact,'' Mr. Ban asked.Laura was still silent, but after a while, she nodded.''Good, so tell me what made you kill that lady. Because, as much as I have to protect you as your husband, I know that Barter hates you, and I cannot stand to look at the sorrow in his eyes,'' Mr. Ban added.Laura trembled.Her lips quivered, and her fingers twitched.''She...'' Laura started to speak slowly.''She was going to take me back to Barter after I ran away, and I didn't want her to do so,'' Laura managed to respond.''She was going to send you back. How did you know her in the first place? Where did you guys meet? Had she ever come here before when you tried to escape?'' Mr. Ban asked.Lau
