***Later in the afternoon,Tricia and Hudson pulled up to the driveway of a large mansion. The house belonged to Pete. Hudson and Tricia were sitting in the front seat of the car next to each other.Hudson turned to look at Tricia. "Are you sure you are ready to confront him?" Hudson asked, raising an eyebrow. He wanted to be sure that she would be able to control herself before they confronted Pete."Yes, I am sure he won’t be able to deny any of it, thanks to this evidence," Tricia responded as she raised the brown file in her hand to show Hudson.Hudson had printed the photos of Pete and his previous wives and handed them over to Tricia. They came down from the car and went into the mansion.As they arrived inside the living room, they saw Pete sitting down on a large couch with a newspaper in his hands. As soon as Pete noticed them, he stood up with a big smile as he approached Tricia. Getting closer to her, Tricia gave him a resounding slap across the face.Hudson gaped with his
"Yeah," she muttered.‘I hope Pete gets the time that he deserves and doesn’t come back into our lives. The police must have taken him into custody by now’ Hudson thought.***Meanwhile, in the magical world,Athens and the guard that was with him were standing in front of Hudson’s shop. Athens eyes were starting to close slowly as he was feeling sleepy. He was getting tired of waiting for Hudson to show up."My lord, today is almost over and there is no sign of Hudson; do you think it is wise for us to keep waiting here?" The guard asked calmly.Athens turned to look at him with an aggressive look in his eyes. "It is the king’s order that we wait here and seal up the shop. The reason I haven’t sealed the shop is because I had a little faith that Hudson might show up, but since he clearly isn’t coming here today, we are going to seal up the shop and go to sleep," Athens stated boldly."Forgive my interference, my lord," the guard replied as he did a half bow. He could tell that what h
As he looked around him he saw that he was standing inside a tight corner that was in between two buildings. The buildings were close to his shop.‘Finally let me quickly go drop this bag and then head over to Ajax’s place as soon as possible’ Hudson thought.He came out of the tight corner and walked toward his shop. As he approached the shop he saw that there was some type of field covering the entrance to his shop.His eyes opened wide. “What the hell is this!” He could clearly see that it was a magical field which must means that the spell was cast by someone. Hudson turned to look around him but saw no one in sight.He tried to walk through the field but was flung backwards in the air as he landed on his back. “Ahhh!” He screamed in a lot of pain.‘Who placed a force field around my shop!” He screamed.***Meanwhile under a tree that was about 10 feet away from Hudson’s shop. Athens and the guard were on the ground drinking water when they heard loud screams coming from a distant
“Your Majesty I went on a vacation for those days that I was not at the shop and most of my workers knows that I usually go on those types of holidays once in a while,” Hudson answered softly hoping that the king would understand his excuse.The king started stroking his chin. He thought that since Hudson went on a holiday somewhere in Magnitoz city at least he would have heard that they were looking for him.“Are you sure you went on a vacation?” Alexander asked curiously. He wanted to believe Hudson but he had to be thorough.“Your majesty pardon me, there is something I need to add!” Athens raised his hand from next to Hudson.“Go ahead,” Alexander permitted.“Your Majesty, if Hudson went on a vacation just like he said, he would have at-least heard that we were looking for him or better still not have spent as much days away as he did. Even when he came back to the shop, we didn’t see where he came from, it was like he sprung out of nowhere. I think he is lying to us,” Athens stat
Suddenly, a loud knock came from the dungeon’s door. "Open the door for me!" Athens screamed from outside. Hudson quickly recognized that it was Athens. ‘What is he doing here at this time?’ Hudson wondered. The door opened as Athens entered the dungeon with a tray containing food in his hands. He ambled over to where Hudson was as he dropped the tray on the ground and sat in front of him. "What are you doing here, and why are you bringing food for me?" Hudson asked rudely. He knew how Athens was instigating the king against him in the palace earlier. "You look pale, Hudson; are you not feeling hungry? We can’t just leave you here in this dungeon and not bring you food," Athens answered. "I know I need the food, but I didn’t expect you to bring food for me, not after everything you did in front of the king," Hudson said calmly. "And what exactly did I do in front of the king?" Athens asked softly. Hudson went quiet; he couldn’t say that Athens was trying to complicate matters for
Hudson was sitting on the ground of the dungeon with his hands chained to the ground. He was feeling a rush of different emotions flowing through his body. ‘Of course everything I said about the resort was a lie, and I don’t know how the king knows it’s a lie, but from just gazing into his eyes, I could tell that he knew it was a lie, but he still wants to investigate it and then take over all my shops. If he does that, I am sure my workers will realize that he has me locked up inside the palace. I hope Ajax realizes it too. Because I don’t see an easy way out of this and he is giving me two weeks before he poisons me to death, the time I have on my mission now is not even up to those two weeks. I will have to find a way to escape from this dungeon before then. I can’t afford to fail this mission and then be demoted down two missions, and I also need to find a way to get rid of this grip that the king now has on me. I don’t see any crime that I have committed against him that he would
He stood up and grabbed a jacket at the entrance of his house as he went out.***Ajax approached Hudson’s shop as he saw that three guards were standing in front of the shop. From their uniforms, he could tell that they belonged to King Alexander.Ajax wondered what the guards were doing in front of Hudson’s shop as he walked past it to get a clearer view of what was going on. He saw a royal seal in front of the shop that shows that the king is now the owner of the shop.‘What the hell is going on here? Why is the king claiming ownership over all Atonal franchises? Does this mean that he has killed Hudson? No, that can’t be; I don’t have to jump to conclusions; I will have to head over to a different Hudson’s shop and talk to one of his workers. Multiple thoughts ran through Ajax’s mind.Ajax quickly ran away from the shop area as he attempted to head over to one of Hudson’s nearby shop locations.***About an hour later, Ajax arrived in front of one of Hudson’s shops that had the si
Ajax's face-changing potion didn’t just change his face into a random face; it was the face of one of the top-ranked guards in the palace. The potion was designed to give him the face of anyone within a particular field that the drinker was thinking about, which in Ajax's case was a palace guard. So Ajax knew he had that to his advantage.Ajax noticed a group of guards that were all heading into the fortress. He saw that they were all carrying different items that seemed to look like food items as they were all going through the main gate. Ajax quickly snuck over to the carriage that had the food that the guards were grabbing, stood up, and picked up a bag of food that he had no idea what was inside. After that, he joined the line of guards as he slowly went into the palace.‘What is inside this bag? My best guess is wheat or rice; I don’t know, but that doesn’t matter; this must mean that all the guards that are carrying these bags are heading towards the palace food storage or kitch
