Shadow kept on glancing at Barter worriedly. ''Are you okay? You seem to be greatly moved by what I have said,'' Shadow said to Barter. Barter blinked furiously and returned his gaze to Shadow.Then he waved it aside.''It's nothing. I am just wondering how to lay hands on your debtor. I know I would be at least five million dollars richer if I provide the culprit to you,'' Barter said to Shadow. Shadow shook his head defiantly. ''Ten, Barter. You will be ten million dollars richer if you provide the culprit to me,'' Shadow told Barter. Barter swallowed hard. Ten million dollars. Laura Ban! She must provide that money or else, this time he would kill her. Barter nervously tapped on the surface of the desk he was leaning on.''Tell me, do you know this person? This Alina of a girl, do you know her?'' Shadow asked. Barter swallowed hard.He was about to deny his sister, and it didn't feel right, but he knew that he didn't really have a choice, so he replied. ''No. But the cit
Shadow didn't take Barter seriously anyway.How and where on earth was Barter going to find Alina? He was talking about a ruthless hacker here. She could hack into anything, so finding her would be the hardest since she could hack herself into becoming invisible while standing in front of you. But, if only Shadow knew. However, forgetting about the money seemed like the sensible thing to do. That sort of thing would only bother his mind and make him worry forever if he continued to think about it, so he decided to let it go. If Barter came with any viable information, then, fine. If not, he had to let it go. Moving forward, Shadow was interested in joining Greg Chase's gang. ''If only he would accept me this time,'' Shadow said while thinking of the possibility. Shadow could recall using several means to get at Greg when they were in jail, including bullying him. Greg didn't like the bullying aspect at all and reacted aggressively to Shadow when he tried it. It was when Shadow
Don Black had been looking for a way around how to get to Shadow, and he had almost forgotten about it. Besides, Greg Chase was skeptical, the entire time he was envisaging Shadow not agreeing to join their faction because Greg Chase ignored him during their time in jail. Greg hated to be in this position.He wanted to stay above the local gangstas in the city, and that was why he mercenaries with a lot of money, but with the issues that he faced, he needed local gangstas that knew the terrain to handle the business. At least he needed them to find out who this faceless idiot was that was playing crazy games with them like this. Greg Chase was getting frustrated if he were, to be honest. He could not help but wish that Scissors caught up with whoever that lady was that did the drop that day. "A lady?!" Greg Chase said as he relaxed into his chair, shocked by all standards that a darn woman was making him fidget like this. Meanwhile, Shadow met with Don Black, and Don Black could
Laura Ban could not concentrate on anything else anymore.Barter had somehow found out about the huge amount of money that was in Alina's position before she died, and now the fury in Barter's eyes was intense.He was like a dog wanting to attack someone, but only being held back by it's owner.Anywhere and time he saw Laura, he glared at her like a menaced man.Laura had all that money at her disposal?No wonder her confidence grew over a hundred percent.It was because of Laura's new found confidence that Mr. Ban started acting differently towards her.Barter started to understand everything clearly.If only he could tell Shadow that he knew where his money is, it would be easier to get it out of Laura, but with Barter's greed, he didn't want to tell Shadown anything.If he could get that money from Laura, that would mean that?He would be a billionaire.He didn't care if he was a couple of millions away from hitting the billion dollar mark, a billionaire is a billionaire, right?Th
Shadow looked forward to meeting Greg Chase, the man he had admired while in jail.When Shadow struggled with Greg Chase in jail and discovered that there was something about Greg, he wished the day would come when they would meet under normal circumstances, like being allies.Finally, the day had come.Don Black took Shadow to Greg Chase's house.When Shadow saw Greg's house, he remembered the money that Alina "stole" and he felt a bit disgruntled.However, he was quick to shove the feeling aside, knowing how sensitive Greg Chase was, and the fact that he could sniff out the least weird scent of unconventional behavior.When Don Black informed Greg Chase that Shadow was going to pay him a visit, he was apprehensive.Knowing what had happened between Shadow and himself while they were locked up, he thought the visit would be awkward, and he couldn't wait to get over this first meeting."Mr, Chase, sir, you have guests!" Greg Chase's bodyguard informed him respectfully.Greg was alread
"Honey, Barter scares me a lot," Laura Ban dared to tell Mr. Ban this one day. The fact that he had found out about Alina's money made her feel nothing but dread. Heavy dread. Now, he was more desperate than ever.Mr. Ban, who was sleeping with his back turned Laura, turned and faced her. "What are you talking about?" He asked with tiredness in his voice. "I mean Barter, he scares me. Don't you see the way he looks at me?" Laura Ban asked her husband. Mr. Ban smiled as he stared at his non-so- innocent anymore wife, Laura Ban. "You killed his sister, Laura. What do you expect?" Mr. Ban asked. Laura snacked her lips nervously."I've never denied doing anything like that, but the thing is that it's passed, yet he glares at me as if he would kill me the next moment," Laura Ban said to Mr. Ban."He's just angry, he's not going to do anything that would hurt you in the long run, okay?" Mr. Ban assured Laura, patting her and drawing her close to him. Laura Ban snuggled into Mr. Ban
"Someone has to place an order for supplies. I heard that Boss Shen has been kicked out after the faceless person almost got spotted..." Bane told Don Black, Shadow, and Greg Chase.Shadow and Bane had not exactly kicked it off yet as allies.Frequently, they could be seen eyeing each other, and their egos often clashed.Of course, Shadow did not see himself as the last person in that room, he was a multi-millionaire, if not that someone had stolen his money.Even at that! One robbery could change his reality in thirteen and a half minutes if all things went according to his plan and arrangement.So, Bane could not tell him shit, although, he respected Don Black exclusively to an extent.As for Greg.They had fought before and Greg beat him, so why not leave him be?"A new client springing out soon after Boss Shen had been gotten rid of would definitely be suspicious..."Shadow said proudly, happy to be able to have an opinion in the sphere of power.Before Shadow went to jail, he and
''If Barter proves to be difficult, I will shoot him. I cannot afford to lose anything after coming this far,'' Laura said to herself. Barter could not stop shooting her very angry stares anytime he saw her. Both of them were like ticking bombs, waiting to explode on each other. Laura had not been able to access the money that Alina had. The money that Barter was talking about was in Alina's crypto wallet, and Laura had tried everything she could to unlock the wallet and access the money, but nothing worked. It was pathetic at this point. Or should she just tell Barter what the problem was? That seemed like a better idea than for her to let him do something extreme to her for no reason. She had not even spent a dime of the money.Maybe both of them could share it.Will Barter agree to share the money with her though? After she had killed his sister, now she wanted to share her belongings with Barter.Laura thought carefully about this.Or maybe she should just give the money t
