''How dare you?'' Laura asked angrily. ''Are you people standing there, watching him insult me like this?'' She asked Damien's bodyguards.

''Arrest the poverty-stricken numbskull. He must be out of his mind,'' Laura barked.

''Smack...Punch...Kick...''

Greg beat up all the bodyguards that attacked him in the twinkle of an eye, to Laura's surprise.

''What?'' Laura muttered and hurried to hide behind Damien in fear. She had never seen this part of Greg before. Never.

''What is he doing? What has he turned into in jail? Damien, do something,'' Laura said as she trembled like a leaf in the wind.

''Relax Laura. Don't worry, he cannot do more than he has just done. That's all he would ever be able to do. Trust me,'' Damien said with a wicked sneer as he stared at Greg devilishly.

''But. How?'' Laura asked as she peeped at Greg from behind Damien.

Damien laughed because his father was friends with the boss of the biggest mafia in the city. Sending Greg to jail was even no longer appealing to him anymore, he intended to deal with Greg another way. The mafia way.

They will break his limbs, listening to him howling in pain, then they will put him in a sack with stones, and throw him into the sea.

No one will find his body. He will be the delicious dinner of fishes.

Damien made a few phone calls and in thirty minutes, the mafia boss that he spoke of arrived with a hundred plus gangstas on his side. They were going to teach Greg a lesson on their boss' order.

“Someone is making trouble at Mr Ban’s wedding?”

In 10 minutes, the mafia boss Bane arrived with his hundred gangstas.

They were holding iron rods, machetes, and some guests even saw some gangstas leaders had guns.

No one dared to breathe out loud.

Greg smiled, “Are you going to rely on these mobs?”

“Pretend to be calm before your death? ridiculous! Seize him,'' Bane, the mafia boss ordered, and his gangstas approached Greg.

Greg raised his hand, prepared to fight with those gangsters.

But suddenly, Bane yelled. “Stop!!!”

The gangstas heard a contrary order from Bane after a few seconds, everybody was confused. Bane stared at Greg's finger in surprise and started to express fear and respect as he raised his head from the ring to look at Greg's face.

''Who is this man?'' Bane asked Damien urgently.

''I don't know. He's just some guy that messed with me. I threw him in jail three years ago now he's back for revenge,'' Damien explained.

Bane was Damien's father's friend, so he accorded Bane with the sort of respect that he would give his father.

''What prison was he at?'' Bane asked with a low tone.

Damien felt he was too important and boujee to answer that question, so he turned to look at Laura to answer for him.

''What jail was your poor boyfriend thrown into?'' Damien asked.

''Monreal Penal Colony'' Laura replied as she squirmed behind Damien because of the tone he spoke to her with. He was upset that her ex-boyfriend was insulting him, and Laura knew that Damien would take his anger out on her sooner or later.

''Monreal,'' Bane muttered and showed respect to Greg.

''Then where did you get this ring?''

At this point, Pedro, who had never seen Greg in This element, tried to stay out of sight as he watched the drama unfold. He had a faint, mischievous smile across his face because he realised that Greg had become powerful, and he planned to use that power to his advantage.

Could Greg fight for him? He had a lot of enemies that wanted to covet his late father’s estate and other properties to themselves. Pedro had tried to fight off these people in court, and had some of them show up in his house to demand for their supposed rights over his dad’s properties, but he chased them away with all his internal and external might. He was growing weary of doing this. He was getting weak.

The guest present at the wedding had clustered into a corner of the mansion because of fear. No one that saw Greg beat up Mr Ban’s bodyguards, could deny how powerful Greg was. They had made vile remarks at him when he first entered the mansion, because of how shabby he looked, now they were afraid that he heard them, and when he was done with Mr Ban’s body guards, he would attack them. Some of them even snuck out of the mansion, headed back home. What a wedding. What a violent wedding, and it was only Mr Ban that would have the reputation of having people get beaten up in a bloody way, and a hundred gangstas appear in his wedding, ready to fight and murder someone.

‘’In my life, I have never witnessed such violence at a wedding. It had to be Mr Ban and nobody else. His notoriety of violence and aggression has stuck to him up to this extent? This is unbelievable,’’ one of the guests said.

‘’My husband told me not to attend this wedding, I should have listened to him but I could not afford to miss out on the paparazzi, and the attention such an event will attract, now I can see reason with him. I see why he advised me not to come. If anything happens to me here, it would be my fault because I was warned.’’

The guests were trembling. Their eyes remained on Greg and his poise. He was alone, without anybody on his side, against more than a hundred gangstas that he seemed sure of beating up if not that Bane had ordered them to stand down.

Mr Ban was furious watching Bane show respect to Greg. That was not the reason he called him there. He didn’t call him to converse with Greg, but to beat him up and bundle his bones out of his wedding.

    Greg smiled, and it seemed that Bane knew his ring.“An old man gave me that. Any other questions?”“An old man…”Ban mumbled, “Could you tell me his name?”Greg said, ”I don’t think you’re qualified to know his name.”“Yeah…you are right.” Bane said respectfully, now he can assure that Greg was not bluffing.''I apologise. I have nothing to do for or against the organisation,'' Bane said“What are you doing, uncle Bane? Take down this garbage and throw him into the sea!” Damien yelled.Bane suddenly turned his head and stared at Damien angrily.“Shut up you idiot! I’m your uncle, not your servant! Do not order me!”Damien was frightened by Bane, he knew how cruel Bane is.“But…”“If you want to live with your money happily, then don’t offend the people you should never mess with.

    A week had passed since Greg returned from jail and Laura was already looking like a shadow of herself. ''Go and tell your mysterious gang-affiliated ex-boyfriend to come and save you from me,'' Damien would say, anytime he was humiliating her. It didn't take too much to upset Damien, and he would pounce on Laura as if she stole from him. On the other hand, Greg was trying to thrive. He was trying to get his business back on its feet. ''I'm glad you eventually came out of your dazed state,'' Pedro said one time. He was tired of having to babysit Greg. A grown man. For the number of days Greg spent in depression, it took a lot from Pedro not to kick him out to live in the streets because Pedro was the only one footing the bills in the house. Greg was incapacitated and was not doing anything to get back on his feet at the time. Now he had taken a quick job that could fend for a place for him to live for the time being. So he left Pedro's house. ''Forget about that bitch. Don't ev

    Greg spent a lot of time arranging his new apartment to the taste he wanted, and then he fell asleep. His dreams still haunted him, just like they did when he was in jail. In fact, this time it was a little bit worse because there were more factors that disturbed his mind. Ordinarily, Greg had a phobia of things going drastically wrong in his life. In his dream, he would see Damien Ban grinning scornfully as he burnt down this new house that he just rented. Damien became one of his greatest nightmares and Greg had come to realize and accept the fact. At least, accepting that sort of thing was a good place to be in for a start, rather than fight it, because Greg felt tormented enough while he slept.When he woke up, beads of nervous sweat formed on his forehead, as he got out of bed. The only thing he could think of was taking a walk to calm his mind down, and grocery shopping seemed like a good idea at the time. As had been the norm for the past couple of days, he was strolling to t

    Greg leisurely walked away from blocking Laura. He felt so disgusted concerning what was going on. He wished he could yell at her and push her into Mr. Ban's arms, but he was not interested in communicating with her at all. He hated her. ''I said, get into the car,'' Mr. Ban yelled. Laura trembled and hurried into the car, waiting for Mr. Ban to finish with Leo and dole out whatever punishment he had for her for disobeying him. But Mr. Ban would not be Mr. Ban if he did not gloat in front of Greg. ''You still miss your little miss pretty thing?'' He asked Greg with mockery obvious in his voice. Greg didn't respond, nor did he show off any facial expression other than the one Mr. Ban met him there, with. ''I thought I made it clear boy, you should not be anywhere close to her. She's mine now, as you can see,'' Mr. Ban continued to say to Greg with a wicked grin. Greg's thought was that Mr. Ban really owned Laura now, in all senses of the word, owned. Look at the way he comman

    ''Lucy,'' Greg muttered, although, she didn't hear him.Lucy arranged the grocery in the backseat of her car and then stood up to see that Greg was staring at her in disbelief.''Is everything okay?'' She asked him.''Are you seriously asking me that? Lucy. Who's car is this?'' Greg asked.''Oh,'' Lucy said in realization and laughed. ''Of course, it's mine. Whose would it be? It's with me, right?'' She replied.''Of course? I don't know. It could belong to a boyfriend or husband of yours for all I could care to think of,'' Greg replied.Lucy rolled her eyes.''I don't have a boyfriend, and I definitely do not have a husband,'' she replied, flashing her ring finger at Greg to indicate that it was bare.''Okay. A girlfriend then? Maybe?'' Greg asked mischievously.''What? No, Greg,'' Lucy replied and laughed heartily.There was a brief silence between them as Greg looked at her, expecting her to give him details on how she was able to afford this sort of luxury for herself. ''I have a

    Lucy stopped in front of Greg's house and looked at him. Her eyes showed off how much pity she felt for Greg, she could only imagine what he was going through at this time. Recuperating from spending time in jail was not easy. ''Thanks, Lucy. I have to go and sort out these groceries now. I just moved in here today,'' Greg said as he tried to step out of the car. Lucy pulled him back ''Why are you acting as if everything is alright with you? Don't you need help?'' She asked him. ''Help? What sort of help?'' Greg asked her back. He maintained his pride as a man. Ordinarily, if not for what happened to him, Lucy would not have been so much more successful than him. It would only be by a small margin if she were more successful than him. So he tried to make sure that he maintained his dignity. ''Greg. You just left jail. You definitely have been cut off from society for three years. Where do you intend to start picking your life back up from?'' Lucy asked. ''I just got a job, rig

    'Dude, what have you been doing with your life? Lucy is rich as fuck. She drives a Porsche,'' Greg said to Pedro with excitement. Pedro sat up from bed abruptly. ''A what?'' He asked Greg. ''A Porsche, bro. She just left my house from dropping my poverty-stricken ass off after grocery shopping,'' Greg replied with humor. Ayra sat up as well, wondering what made Pedro suddenly so excited. ''Is everything okay?'' She whispered to Pedro, but at the moment, Pedro could not think of anything else, other than the fact that he had just confirmed how much of a wuss he had been for the past ten years. He drove a Volkswagen, an old model for that matter, and he was hearing that a girl that used to be his classmate back in college had started to swim in luxury. ''What club are you people going to?'' He asked as he nodded at Ayra to tell her that there was no serious issue and that he was just having a conversation. ''How the fuck would I know? She said she was coming by later to pi

You won't believe it that the first time I came to this club after it was opened, they sent me out,'' Lucy said as she stood up, urging Greg to follow her to the entrance to save his friend. Greg looked at her with shock in his expression.''How? Where you not rich yet as at then?'' He asked. Lucy giggled. ''I was. But they were in their element, and I didn't come with one of their usual mafia gangsta bosses, so they were upset, I guess. Most of the females here are usually whores so seeing me on my own upset them,'' Lucy explained.Greg shook his head. ''You don't even know your job. How can you ask just anybody you see to leave? I can pay for everything here,'' Pedro exclaimed at the bouncers and threw a wad of low denomination cash at them. Before Pedro showed up at that club, he withdrew more than half of his entire savings from a nearby ATM, just in case he was met with this sort of embarrassm

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

    ''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.

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 was surprised. ''Are you kidding me right now?'' he asked Barter.Barter shook his head. ''Nope!

    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?''

    ''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
