Mr. Ban was in Margaret's house when he heard the news about the fire outbreaks.

Margaret was frantic.

Snake Eyes was totally on his own on this, and Mr. Ban was not aware that he had arranged to blow up Don Black's warehouse.

''I told Black! I warned Black not to hang around that loser, Greg Chase, but he refused to listen, now look at this. If this isn't Snake Eye's doing, I'll be damned,'' Mr. Ban said, out of his breath as he paced the living room in Magaret's house.

A lot had been going on in the city of recent, and she just wished that it would stop, somehow.

It was intense.

''Does all this have anything to do with you? As in, will they attack any of your franchises soon?'' Margaret asked Mr. Ban, unaware of how the hierarchy and scheme of things affected her elder brother.

If it affected Mr. Ban, then it would surely affect her and every single one of the Ban's so she was disturbed.

Mr. Ban shook his head.

''It's my faction that did the attacking, although I was not inv

    Snake Eyes did not understand how a criminal who had successfully carter away with merchandise worth hundreds of thousands of dollars will just return it as if it was nothing. He frowned. Besides, when was there ever a time that anybody reported missing merchandise? ''Did we ever have any merchandise stolen recently?'' Snake Eyes asked when he got to the targeted franchise. His men shook their heads. But there was a returned product right there in their store, and nobody could understand when they ever reported anything like that, missing. ''Who brought the product here?'' Snake Eyes asked, but nobody could trace the deliverer of the product either. It was at this point that Snake Eyes suspected that the so-called returned merchandise was fake, and a setup. Before he could alert his men to get rid of the fake merchandise, there was a sudden spark in the product. All the men around took to their heels immediately, including Snake Eyes, and then there was a loud bang in the ai

  • Greg's Dreaded Return   At The Public Hall

    Bane sat on a bench in the central sector, with the collar of his trench coat raised to conceal his identity. He cursed under his breath while waiting for Don Black to show up. If not that Don Black was acting as if he suspected him so much, nothing would have ever taken him to the public hall. That was the most public place in the city after the general market. Taking a glance at his wristwatch for the umpteenth time in five minutes, Bane was about to reach for his phone and call Don Black, when he spotted Don Black from afar. Don Black had not seen Bane yet, and Bane could see that Don Black and his guard were scanning the area, looking for Bane in the crowded central sector. Because of this, Bane reached for his phone again and called Don Black. ''Where are you? I'm at the central sector,'' Don Black said as soon as he answered Bane's call. ''Walk directly in front of you. I am sitting on the bench at the extreme,'' Bane replied with a gentle tone. He waited until he

    ''He asked you to burn my warehouse to prove yourself, and you did?'' Don Black asked Bane with surprise, anger, disappointment, and all sorts of negative emotions. Did Bane really sell him out that cheap? It was difficult to believe. Don Black was glaring at Bane, waiting for a reply. ''Black, can you just let me finish?'' Bane said with a gentle tone.''Just, try not to interrupt me again, so that I can hit the nail on the head and we can get out of this worthless public area,'' Bane added. Don Black nodded and adjusted his weight, then after thinking dramatically for a bit, he sat down beside Bane. Bane turned to look at Don Black and nodded. ''That's more like it,'' he said.''Anyway, the thing is that, when Snake Eyes came up with this suggestion, I refused at first. Of course, I cannot afford to burn your warehouse with my eyes clear, no matter what anyone offers me to do it. But, while I was in that state of mind, you know, Snake Eyes is an extremely eccentric and proud m

    {Tut}Don Black kissed his teeth. ''Let me have the damn phone. Let me talk to that scaliwag,'' he said to Bane under his breath.Bane gave Don Black a look as if asking if he was serious about what he was saying.How could Bane allow him to speak with Snake Eyes randomly like that? Of course not. Bane knew that Don Black didn't mean what he said, so he waved him off randomly and answered the phone after placing his index finger on his lips, motioning for Don Black not to utter a word. Don Black was furious. Knowing that the very man that asked for his warehouse to be burned down was on the other end of the phone line. If only Don Black could get close to this worthless man...That was what Don Black was thinking at the moment when he stared at Bane answering the call. ''I thought you would have called me by now,'' Snake Eyes immediately said to Ban over the phone.Bane muttered something incoherently that even he did not understand. ''What are you talking about?'' Snake Eyes a

    Magnet, the hacker that Barter hired to look for the person that had been occupying Alina's house and most likely killed her, had made headway with his finding.''Bart! Come to my place I have something to show you,'' Magnet said into the phone to Barter, looking at a wrist massager that he took from Alina's house. ''Say no more,'' Barter said, whispered something into Mr. Ban's ear, and waited for Mr. Ban's response.Mr. Ban raised his head to look at Barter.''Are you sure?'' He asked Barter.Barter nodded.Mr. Ban heaved a deep sigh and looked at Barter.''This is such a wrong time, you know that?'' He said to Barter.''I know, I know, boss. But I have to go now, or else, it might be too late after now. You know how it works boss...'' Barter was saying when Mr. Ban nodded and pat him to stop talking too much. ''Get one of the boys to stay with me,'' he said to Barter and went back to sitting beside Snake Eyes. Barter signaled his next in command and whispered something into his

    Magnet was staring at his computer screen as the photo and name of the owner of the fingerprint he had found in Alina's house were loading and revealing from the head to the bust.Magnet squinted, impatiently waiting to see who the person was when he heard the sound of Barter's car outside.He got up quickly to check.Indeed, it was Barter that had arrived.Magnet hurried out to show Barter in.''Welcome bro, what's good?'' Magnet asked with a cheerful tone, but Barter was not in the mood to be cheerful at all.''What's up? Where's the person? Who's the person?'' Barter asked as soon as he saw Magnet. He didn't have time for greetings at all.''Re...'' Magnet was going to tell Barter to relax but he held back.This man's sister had most likely been murdered in cold blood in one of the creepiest fashions he had ever heard of, so Barter had the right, by all means, to be paranoid, anxious, angry, and ready for war.''Alright, come in fam, let's go see it together,'' Magnet said and led

    Charles Ban was moving into his newly rented home on a windy evening. He had stopped receiving his usual monthly allocation from his elder brother Mr. Ban because Mr. Ban had asked him to return to where he was coming from before he continued to pay him monthly. ''But the money is mine! As in, it is my entitlement from our parents, so how come you are holding it back?'' Charles Ban asked his elder brother, but Mr. Ban insisted on holding onto that money. ''Your money is safe. I opened another account which I pay the money into, but I put up a standing order that the money would not be touched until twenty-four months has passed. Hopefully, by that time you would have returned to your senses and must have left the country. I don't know why you insist on risking your life,'' Mr. Ban said. Charles Ban's eyes shone in disbelief. ''Two whole years, Damien?'' He asked Mr. Ban. ''Yes. If you accept to go back, I can stop paying into that account, and then continue the drops into your

    When Barter returned to Snake Eye's franchise where he had left Mr. Ban to meet with Magnet, he didn't know what to tell Mr. Ban.How would he relate Laura to Alina, his sister? Barter had thought of blaming it on coincidence, but it was too far-fetched. But the closer he got to Mr. Ban, the more he knew that he had to come up with an explanation, something, anything. He had taken permission from Mr. Ban to check on something important that had to do with his sister, so, he definitely had to give Mr. Ban feedback.Mr. Ban was delighted when he saw Barter making his way back to him. He trusted his other bodyguards to an extent, but he only felt safe when Barter was with him. ''How did it go, old sport?'' Mr. Ban asked with a raised voice as he watched Barter walk up to him. Barter was about to open his mouth to say something to Mr. Ban when he noticed Bane.Barter frowned instantly.He frowned as if he had seen something that had a disgusting odor. He looked at Mr. Ban, asking Mr

    Greg Chase didn't know if he should laugh or cry. He stared at The Man until he was sure that The Man was serious about what he said, then he heaved a tired sigh. ''You cannot afford to do this to me. I mean...you sparingly ruined my life,'' Greg Chase complained, his eyes on The Man the entire time. ''You are the watcher, Mr. Chase. You shame me. The watcher ought to be more powerful than you are, but you are too full of yourself, so you cannot reach your full potential,'' The Man told Greg Chase. ''How powerful can I get?'' Greg Chase asked. ''Did you hear about the natural disaster that happened in the city Aklans weeks ago?'' The Man asked Greg Chase. Greg Chase nodded.''Yes, that was caused by a watcher like you. He was upset about something, and his intense anger caused a stir and an earthquake occurred. Though the government officials claim it to be solely a natural occurrence, it is a lie, and they know it...'' The Man told Greg Chase. Greg Chase was not sure he heard

    Greg Chase almost dropped dead when he heard everything. ''If you have anything to tell me, or there is an emergency, I bet you now know how to summon me. It took you two years to learn how to summon me, Greg Chase. Now, you know what pride can do to you. It can ruin you,'' The Man said as he gradually disappeared into space. Greg Chase stared in arrant shock.All this...it had to be a joke.''Boss...at least...you aware that you returned my colleagues back to our company, right?'' Scissors asked Greg Chase after The Man left. Greg Chase looked at Scissors casually and nodded. ''I have told you not to call me boss anymore,'' Greg Chase said.Scissors smiled. ''The boss is really back to himself. Boss, you have not told me that in the past two years, and I have only called you boss throughout,'' Scissors said, smiling. Greg Chase wished it could stop.Someone needed to come and tell him that all this was a dream.Ge desperately needed to hear that he had been pranked heavily. So

    ''Master!'' Greg Chase muttered. Then he blinked. The next time that Greg Chase opened his eyes, he was in his living room on earth.He was leisurely watching TV and Scissors walked by casually. Greg Chase looked at Scissors, expecting him to freak out and ask how and where he had been but Scissors acted like every other day. As if nothing happened. Or?Had he been in a trance?''Scissors, what day is it today?''Wednesday,'' Scissors said. ''Where have you been in the last twenty-four hours?'' Greg Chase asked, looking at Scissors, squinting in confusion. It was as if his brain had been formatted. Scissors turned to look at him funny.''Keeping tabs on me now, huh, boss!'' he said, taking orange juice from the fridge and heading back inside the house, to his room. Greg Chase's eyes sparkled in confusion. ''I'm not keeping tabs on you. Fuck you,'' he said under his breath.''I heard you!'' Scissors yelled from afar. Greg Chase nodded with satisfaction. The first thing that

    Call Me Master!

    ''Boss?'' Scissors called, wondering why Greg Chase was looking at him like that. ''What is growing on your head?'' Greg Chase asked Scissors. Scissors frowned.Was it because he had indicated that something was funny about Greg Chase, that Greg Chase decided to switch up on him?''Boss, are you kidding?'' Scissors asked, flashing a weak smile.Greg Chase shook his head. ''There's a radio on your head,'' Greg Chase suddenly said.''Radio!'' Scissors muttered and raised his hand to touch his head but he did not feel anything, and to Greg's shock, Greg saw Scissors' hand pass through the radio. ''Ah, boss...you are playing the pranks on me. But there is an antenna on your head anyway,'' Scissors said to Greg Chase. Without wasting time, Greg Chase raised his hand to touch his head, and he was not surprised when he could not feel anything, yet he saw Scissors gasp in shock. ''Your hand passed through it,'' Scissors said. ''Same thing that happened to you. There's a radio on your h

    ''You...I must give it to you as the watcher with the biggest ego ever...'' The Man said to Greg Chase.Greg Chase frowned. ''Are there more watchers? I thought I was the only one,'' he said to The Man as he walked towards Scissors and started to pull him up again, but just like before, an unknown force repelled Greg Chase. The Man laughed his usual mocking laugh, one that made Greg Chase upset by all means. ''Can you please release my friend? What the hell?'' he asked The Man, anger flashing evidently in his eyes.''I am not holding your friend to anything, he will get up when he wants to,'' The Man replied.''And, about your question as to if there are other watchers, of course, there are billions of watchers around the world,'' The Man said to Greg Chase. ''I thought I was the only one. Are they also up to anything as big as mine? Do they try to take down their enemies or they are solely connected to the source of wherever this watcher thing comes from?'' Greg Chase asked. ''T

    Greg Chase was beside himself, wondering why Laura had suddenly cut off from him.Yes, she might have been spotted in his house, but from the way he felt, he knew that word had not gotten to Mr. Ban about the fact that she was in his house, so why was she suddenly unavailable? Why was she no longer interested in their plan to overthrow Mr. Ban completely this time?He had his hopes on her, especially now that Don Black had looked in another direction, having found another ''young blood'' to show the ropes of the business and get acquainted with. No matter how many times Greg Chase called Laura Ban, it either did not go through, or she abruptly hung the call up on him.''Urgh, what the fuck is going on?'' Greg Chase asked himself. He felt as if everyone he knew and looked forward to helping him achieve one thing or the other, was turning their back on him. But, under what basis? What did he do, or what did they suddenly realize for them to have such a decision made overnight?''Boss

    ''What is it?'' Shadow asked, looking very interested in Barter's thoughts. Barter had been looking at him with so much intensity, he had to know what was on Barter's mind while he was looking at him. Barter looked at Shadow closely.If he told Barter what he knew, everything could take another turn for the worst, but he also wanted Laura Ban to face the repercussion of the trouble that she had doled out on others. Shadow stared at Barter, waiting for an answer. ''I was just wondering when you will ever settle down with one woman. You should be married by now, you know...'' Barter suddenly said. Shadow was surprised. ''Are you kidding me right now?'' he asked Barter.Barter shook his head. ''Nope! After you lost your ex-wife, I could understand you staying away from relationships and not wanting to commit to anyone anymore, but it's been nearly ten years since that happened. Don't you think you need someone by you to make you feel better? You know what I mean. Even gangstas nee

    Weighing The Odds

    Barter was getting frustrated, and desperate. After spending more than two decades with Mr. Ban, he was easily going to throw him, Barter to a corner just because of a loose whore he called his wife? He stared at the door of the room as if he wished that his eyes would bore a hole through. ''Preposterous,'' he muttered as he suddenly turned to leave. In the living room, when Barter stormed in angrily, he saw Shadow. Barter looked at Shadow as if he was seeing a ghost. ''Dude, where the hell have you been for nearly two weeks?'' Barter asked, shocked. Shadow rolled his eyes. ''Did you really expect me to hang around so that I will get discovered by Chase and the rest of them that I am on Ban's side?'' Shadow asked. Barter suddenly realized. There was no way Greg Chase and his cohorts would not have found out about Shadow playing both sides, the tension and pressure were too much, especially after the war. ''You are right, you would have been spotted,'' Barter said.

    ''We just had a few drinks and nothing more,'' Laura Ban said. By this time, they had arrived at the home of Mr. Ban.Mr. Ban hurried out of the car as if, if he stayed there for one more second, something will happen to him. ''Boss!'' Barter greeted him as soon as he sighted him. He had been waiting rather impatiently for Mr. Ban to return and give him a rundown of what happened at Laura Ban's house. Barter would have been the one to follow Mr. Ban to Laura Ban's family house, but his hideous face did not allow him. ''How did it go, boss?'' Barter asked. Mr. Ban glanced at Barter and rolled his eyes. Barter knew at once that Mr. Ban must have been ridiculed and insulted. The look on the man's face was so intensely upset. Barter spotted Laura Ban behind, hurrying up to meet Mr. Ban, and he obviously hissed, loudly enough so that Laura Ban would hear him. But of course, at the moment, Laura was bothered about something else, so she paid Barter no mind. She hurried towards Mr
