Everyone's end was pretty much fast approaching. Greg Chase had not gotten what he wanted and was still pretty hell-bent on Don Black's neck for a final strike at Mr. Ban. "This one would eventually hand me the city,'' Greg Chase had said to Don Black. But Don Black had established works with the new Shen boss so much that he was really not interested in any other ventures. Technically speaking, he had cut off from Greg Chase, and Bane. Well, Bane's case was different because if he was still interested in continuing with Don Black, he could, but the bottom line was that Don Black was done with Greg Chase. "Ah, Greg. I was going to tell you sooner or later anyway. You see, I am not getting any younger so I have been thinking deeply about a lot. I have to give up this Ban conquest. Already, I have lost a lot as a result of these wars...I just want to build my peace back, you know..." Don Black said nervously. Build his peace back...What did he mean by building his peace back? Di
Greg Chase sat in his living room, staring into space.He couldn't imagine how everything had suddenly gone left. He was alone. Everyone seemed to have moved on from him. It was at this point that Greg Chase realized that he was the only one really concerned with bringing Mr. Ban down. Very likely, Don Black was on his own agenda.Greg Chase chuckled at the realization. So he was being used? By Don Black. Holding a fancy pen between his fingers, he flickered it nervously as he stared ahead of him. For some reason, Greg Chase had held on to the mercenaries, he had not yet returned them, and also for some reason, he had enough money to keep them with him. Mercenaries were not easy to come by. They were crazy expensive, so anyone who had them was considered different from the rest. He decided that he will still hold on to them. Even if it meant him going after Mr. Ban alone, he will do it alone. Mr. Ban had to pay for everything that he had done to Greg Chase. Mr. Ban had done
It took Laura Ban days of spending time in the room of Mr. Ban to know that she had returned back to her previous life. But this grounding was going to be cut short because of the visit that Mr. Ban had planned with her family. The day had come for Mr. Ban to meet Laura Ban's family, and everyone got ready for it. Barter was not driving Mr. Ban this time.Already, Laura Ban's family was suspicious of Mr. Ban, so if he dared to take Barter, a sworn enemy with him, her parents will most definitely lose their minds. Mr. Ban wore a stunning french suit over straight pants that fit him as if the clothing was sewn right on top of his body. Looking sharp and dashing, he gracefully walked out of the house while Laura Ban followed him behind, looking very beautiful.Of course, Mr. Ban had done everything possible for Laura Ban to look the way she did. There was no way he was going to visit her family with her looking like a rape victim. They got in Mr. Ban's favorite car. A futuristic B
Laura's mother spotted Mr. Ban from afar and her eyes gleamed with anger. ''Eh, Peter, the devil just stepped in,'' she announced, alerting her husband. Peter, Laura Ban's dad hit his cane on the floor and supported his waist as he hurried towards the living room. Apparently, he had been waiting to unleash his venomous anger on Mr. Ban. ''Where is it? Where is the devil?'' Peter asked as he showed up. Laura Ban's mother pointed at Mr. Ban with her fingers trembling midair. Mr. Ban remained unphased by this show off of detest towards him because he was already expecting to be treated that way. He walked in tall, with his head held high as he looked at Pater struggling towards him with a cane.The old man, if only he could relax.Mr. Ban looked at Peter with his eyes wide in shock.''You don't have to be in such a hurry, take it easy,'' Mr. Ban said with a soft voice. ''Eh, I didn't ask you to care for me, killer,'' Peter said to Mr. Ban as he arrived in front of him and pointed
Laura Ban was the first to react. ''We didn't get through with the divorce, pa, and ma, we are still husband and wife, we have not divorced yet,'' she explained. ''Yes, that's good. You had better stay married. Since you want to disgrace the family, you might as well carry on with what you have started, but don't just add any more to what you have already done,'' Peter scolded. Mr. Ban started to shake his head. ''No...I insist on the divorce. You do not expect me to be able to live free with someone that does not regard me. In her mind, she has already divorced me, hasn't she? I ought to let her go,'' Mr. Ban said defiantly. Peter's face was so ugly. How the hell was he going to position himself to beg the very man he hated to have been married to his daughter, not to divorce his daughter?It didn't make any sense. Peter hated Mr. Ban the more.He was the devil indeed. ''You are hell-bent on sending my daughter to hell, aren't you? Watching her do all the wrong things, I mean
Mr. Ban had been trying to ignore Jeffery's comments, but they were becoming unbearable, so he started to fidget. At the mention of Mr. Ban being a devil by Jeffery, Mr. Ban glared at Jeffery.''Mr. Jeff, if I am correct...please I will not condone any disrespect from you...I can stomach anything from your parents but not from you,'' Mr. Ban said to Jeffery who had already started snarling, ready to bicker Mr. Ban into oblivion.''You should be worried about other things. Me calling you a devil is the least of your worries, you should be concerned with what's in front of you, and the fact that your drug empire is about to be snatched from you by better players,'' Jefferey said. Mr. Ban was furious, but he held his cool, staring at Jeffrey angrily. If not that Jeffrey was his brother-in-law, would he be able to talk to Mr. Ban like this?Jeffrey knew that there was little to nothing that Mr. Ban could do about him being insulted, so he made sure to use his chance effectively. ''Wha
Mr. Ban smiled at Peter. A fake and broad smile spread across his face as he looked at Peter, and then at Peter's wife, Laura's mother. ''I hope that when we meet another time, it is on a pleasant basis and not this chaos,'' Mr. Ban said and started to enter his car. ''Another time? Does that mean that you will no longer divorce her?'' Peter asked Mr. Ban. Mr. Ban glanced at the man. The desperation on Peter's face not to fall short of the expectations that religion had placed on him was annoying to look at. Did the man not care about his daughter? Mr. Ban did not say anything else, instead, he entered his car fully, urging Laura to do the same. Laura turned around to hug her father and mother but they gave her a cold shoulder, however, her brother, Jeffery grabbed her. ''Take care of yourself for me and text me this man's house address right now. I wonder how on earth we were able to leave you alone with him all by yourself the entire time. We didn't do well...'' Jeffrey
''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
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
''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
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!''
