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
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.
''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
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
''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
