Stephen scoffed as he walked furiously down the street like he was chased. He was sweating profusely as everything that happened was still going on in his head and he ought to get away as he thought Harrison might appear out of thin air if he hung around the place any longer.“Hey,” One of the men suddenly called out to him, and he paused.“Yes, what is it?” Stephen asked with a deep voice, sounding like he wasn’t interested in having a conversation.“What about our pay? You don’t think we will keep following you like dogs, right?” The man responded while the other one nodded in support. Seeing this, Stephen's heart raced faster.He had no dime on him. Initially, he wanted to get some money off Caroline after toying with her, but then his plans got crushed. He thought the workers he would find there would be the same ones he knew, but everything was different. If not for the fact that he quickly walked out of the place, they might have crippled him.“Wait… don’t tell me you have no pe
“I said wait… damn it!” Stephen scoffed and quickly pulled out his phone to show them his balance. They paused in their tracks and their eyes squinted multiple times as they were glued to the screen trying to read the figures displayed.They couldn’t believe their eyes. It looked too good to be real. They wouldn’t have believed but after seeing the interface of the app they knew it was legit.“That’s two hundred thousand dollars?” The one exclaimed as he saw the staggering amount and his mouth was hung open as he then turned towards the other man.Meanwhile, Stephen kept nodding his head, getting high on himself. He was able to fool them so easily. Good thing he got the app as his backup plan, or else he would be done for. Though he wasn’t sure the app would work perfectly fine before, now it does.He got it from a reliable source that was into hacking. It was called a dummy account that could be used to forge a balance just to fool someone. Who could have thought it would be useful
With Stephen taking the lead, the group of gangsters walked down the street, heading somewhere. Nobody had questions at first but rather they were caressing the tip of their baseball bat preparing themselves for the mess they were going to do next.Nothing was as sweet as wrecking things up and still getting paid for it. After all, they were all gangsters and following the law was never fun compared to breaking it.Stephen kept leading them down the same street as he knew it was the only way leading to the company. Any vehicle that would want to go in that direction must have to go this way, so he thought about wrecking the whole thing up in the front so maybe before Caroline and the others find out about what was going on, they must have wrecked the whole thing down to chunks.“How long do we have to walk? I am yet to see any vehicle coming, or are we heading to a house?” Chen asked, unable to hold down his curiosity.“No. We will be meeting them here soon. Some vehicles will be comi
“I am not sure if you guys know what this is, but this good is meant to be transported to a company down the road. If you guys are some bandits, please you have to back down!” The truck driver tried to be as considerate as he could when explaining so that maybe they would back down, but their expression said the opposite.“What is this prick saying?” Stephen ignored him to look at his men, and they laughed out loud in mockery.“Maybe if we break some bones, he will have common sense.” Chen grinned and turned towards the truck driver. His stare alone had a burning sensation that made the man stagger backward and crash into his truck in fear.“Wrap this up, boys. Wreck everything and even the man himself.” Stephen gestured for them and they began to move. However, the other truck drivers had also ganged themselves and were walking towards them to find out what was going on. They wanted to know why the first guy suddenly called out to them saying they should stop, and for a long while
“What did you guys just do?” The voice snorted again and all of them were forced to turn and when they did, they were shocked to see it was Lucas.As for the others, they didn’t recognize him but Draco and his colleague did. Quickly, Draco walked towards Lucas and grabbed him by the collar.“Where is that prick?” He grumbled, spilling his froth all over Lucas's face and the latter was forced to close his eyes.Draco’s sudden action was surprising to him. Just when he took his time to go get one of the best suits close by, that was when Draco had to come in and spoil everything.That aside, what he was more worried about was the truck ahead of him. They were all a mess. He wouldn’t have known such a thing was going on as he got carried away intending to go back to the company quickly, but then a sound jolted him, and he was forced to look towards this direction only to see some group of gangsters doing much harm to the goods Caroline was waiting for.“I asked you a question, prick!” Dr
Draco and his colleague cracked their knuckles as they approached Lucas while Chen and his men were busy chanting praises at them, boosting their morale, and it was working.Both of them puffed their chest out and Lucas looked like a small mouse in their presence. But then one thing they failed to notice was that compared to before, Lucas was having a stern look on his face.They got the best of him because he wasn’t balanced, but now he was more than focused to take them on.“Are you ready to kiss my ass?” Draco’s colleague said first as he cracked his knuckles and walked behind Lucas staring at him like prey, but before he could circle him fully Lucas punched him in the nose and it broke.“That's payback!” He smirked right after the punch and the lad lost his balance almost stumbling to the floor with his nose dripping with blood and everyone was taken aback.Then the looks on their faces turned into anger. They suspected it must be out of luck that Lucas landed that punch and were
Chen stood amidst all these, not knowing what to say. He wouldn’t lie, Lucas exceeded his expectations. Even after taking a hit, he came back strong to attack, and also he was quite ruthless. It didn’t look like Chen was facing just a regular guy, but a mafia lord.He could feel his knees getting weak, but as he was the boss, he knew he had to stand strong. He had to prove to Lucas that he could be more ruthless since he had more hands backing up his ego while Lucas had none.“Guys, don’t panic yet!” He called out to his men, who looked like they would pee in their pants soon enough.“Boss, just who is he calling?” One of them couldn’t help but ask.“Ignore him. Against this number, there is nothing he can do. He might be trying to scare us away after the little show he put out there.” Chen explained, and then he turned to face them fully. It seemed just those few words weren’t enough to bring back their mood, so he took it upon himself to bring it back.“Besides, Draco and the other
Arriving at the scene, what Harrison saw was uncalled for. The street was in so much mess with tumbled trucks and there were a lot of junks scattered everywhere. Some houses were almost crushed while the owners locked themselves inside to save their skin.There was no way to pass through with a car as the whole mess was serving as a blockage preventing any vehicle from coming in. Seeing this, Harrison didn’t even waste more time and jumped out of the car and then started running towards the front.Anyone who watched this scene might laugh due to how funny it was. It was like someone hopped out of his car and started running away, leaving the car behind.But then in Harrison’s case, he knew he had to try his best to get over there quickly. He knew he had to aid Lucas or else something bad was going to happen.However, just as that thought wandered inside his head, he arrived at the scene, and it felt like what he pictured was what was presented before him.Similarly to how they had mad

“You must have thought you were way too smart to be dealt with. You got me so bad that I thought I was done for. I have never faced an opponent like you and for that, I’ll give you a ten. You are damn good!” Harrison said with a hint of mockery in his tone and Edward became pissed.However, he tried to think about what went wrong to make his plan fail and how it was so hard for him to figure out what was going on. In a thousand years, he would never expect someone as low as Ramon to be able to exceed him in intellectual strategy.“What? Don’t tell me you are spacing out at such times. And why weren’t you able to figure out what was going on? I mean, you have cameras watching, don't you?” Harrison said sarcastically.Edward felt pressured and it felt like the right time for Harrison to make it harder on him. After all, Harrison suffered the same fate earlier.“How did I not figure this out?” Edward finally said, scolding himself.“Because you are so dumb to notice.” Harrison fired at h
Being indoors for a long while had made their senses a bit shaken off and when they had to adjust to a sudden brightness, they couldn’t help but blink their eyes multiple times.Everyone was shocked to see someone had walked into a room. An unknown someone they didn’t know but were so desperate to see his face, yet their sight was failing to adjust to the light.However, after the figure spoke, every single effect of the sudden brightness was washed off and replaced with curiosity.Starting from the leg, everyone scanned the figure from the toe, slowly heading to his face. When they arrived at the finish point, they all nearly fell on their backs.“Ramon?” Everyone yelled seemingly as though they had seen a ghost. It had to be a ghost right, or maybe their senses were playing tricks on them? They just couldn’t figure it out as their jaws were wide open, almost dropping to the floor.“Jesus Christ! What the hell is this?” Edward yelled, shaking his head from side to side to see if ever
Back inside the small cabin in the rural area.Edward and the others were seated on the couch watching the Television. They weren’t watching the news but something else. There were some wireless connected cameras fixed in some certain place while the television displayed each of those scenes that happened in each place Furthermore, there was a remote control in Edward’s hand, and he was able to make each scene that was showing in a mini spot on the screen occupy the whole screen, so everyone could have their view of what was happening.Right there, on the screen, it was showing that Harrison just walked into the hospital ward. Not only could Edward and the others watch what was going on, but they were able to hear the conversation that was going on.Meanwhile, Larry who was seated at the far end of the room was enjoying the show the most since he was the one who delivered the flower directly to her. He played his part so well that she was unable to recognize him. Of course, he was pu
“Linda right?” Caroline asked, and the delivery man nodded at her before handing the flowers to her. She extended her hand and grabbed the vase. It was such a perfect piece as it had an ancient drawing sculptured on it. The material looked like glass, yet it was made of wood. The way it was polished alone was unique and must be a very costly piece.At once glance, Caroline took notice of it but what she was more invested about was how nice the flowers were. She couldn't resist the urge to dip her nose into it and allow the fragrance to waft into her nostrils.Bang!Just then the door was pushed open and Lucas pushed his head in. The moment he saw her with flowers he was shocked as he knew it wasn't there before and it wasn't like he saw anyone bring it in.That was when Caroline pulled out of the enjoyable feeling she was in. Her mind ran back to the lad who brought the flowers, and she wanted to thank him but after looking she noticed he was nowhere to be found. Rather, there was Lu
“Hello sis, how are you doing?” Linda's voice rang through the phone as soon as the call was picked up, and the receiver was left in shock. It took a while and there was no response. Nervously, Linda peeked glances at the phone to see if it was disconnected, but it wasn't.“Caroline? Are you there?” She called out again before a reply came through.“What do you want?” Caroline replied seemingly disgusted. “Are you calling to make more trouble? Remember I don't have that time at the moment, please.” She concluded and wanted to end the call when Linda spoke.“I am sorry.” She said and shockingly, Caroline couldn't bring herself to hang up. The words she just heard were too good to be true, yet it didn't feel like she was dreaming.Linda just apologized? Caroline started doubting her senses. She was unable to let herself fall for such a trap like before. She had witnessed too much and it was energy draining. Her stepmother pointed a gun at her and would have killed her if not for a mira
“Shit! The police department?” Whitman murmured the words out, as he would rather not be noticed by the caller. Moreover, everyone had their guard up thinking the place was surrounded by the police.There wasn’t any siren sound or any movement, so it must be an unnoticeable operation, right? Those were the thoughts that were running inside their heads as quickly Larry and Raymond took a peep at the window but there was no one outside.They felt a sigh of relief, but that didn’t quench their suspicion. They knew not to let their guard down. Never.“Yes, who am I speaking with?” Edward replied trying hard to keep his composure. He suddenly looked calm and collected like he wasn’t the same person who was nervous not long ago.Already he had speculated that whoever it was, it had to be someone who knew him. The number was private and after picking up, the caller said he was from the police department.After realizing all this, Edward wanted to laugh out loud, but he chose to play along fi
“What’s the meaning of this? Why are you pointing a gun at my head?” Whitman was shocked by the turn of events. He didn’t expect them to come to his house and threaten him.“You are his ally ain’t you? I’ve seen you a couple of times with that brat called Harrison. Who knows, maybe you are here working for him undercover.” Larry spits his suspicion while Raymond nods his head in support.“Stand down!” Edward snapped but was being ignored. “I said bring the gun down!” He said again and yet no one paid a listening ear to him.“It’s the opposite. I am working with Edward here to bring Harrison down.” Whitman explained.“What? Don’t be shitting me. You are the same person who gave out our hideout to Harrison, and you want us to believe you? You should talk fast before I put four bullets into your thick skull!” Larry threatened.The look on his face was so cold, signifying his threats wasn’t a bluff. Already, he had adjusted the gun and had his finger wrapped around the trigger button. Any
The tension became hot and it felt like air was sucked out of their lungs leaving them dry and vulnerable. That should be the time when they should bow their heads and beg for forgiveness, but the men didn’t look like they would.Though they were shocked by his words, there was no trace of fear radiating off them. It felt like they had gradually made up their minds to accept death.Noticing this, Whitman was quite stunned. He knew their loyalty was as tough as a rock, but in the face of death, anyone was supposed to shiver.Smiling, he pulled out a gun and cracked it, then pointed it at one of them.“Swear loyalty to me and I will spare your life.” He said instead as the thought of using them against Harrison would seem befitting to him.“Tch!” All the men spat at his face at once as though they were all in sync with each other. Their eyes were stern as they held nothing but disgust. If not for the fact that they were being tied, they would have lunged at him by now.“Wrap things up
