“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
Several men in suits appeared surrounding the place and were also bowing to Harrison's presence.“Young master, what are your orders?” One of them said, and it was evident that there was pain in their eyes after seeing Lucas battered up in his arms. Lucas was their leader and even though he was a tough person he was the best leader they could ask for.Already they had read the situation and knew it was those gangsters who did this. But then, just like Lucas, each of them could offer their lives for Harrison’s cause, but at the moment if they had their way they wanted to seek vengeance.“Who said you could follow me?” Harrison thundered with bloodshot eyes, and they all shivered in fright. That was the first time they had seen such kind of intent radiating off him, that was enough to send chills down their spine.“We are sorry, young master. We couldn’t let you come here alone, knowing there might be enemies lurking around.” They all chanted in chorus showing off their respect, but th
In a short distance, on the same street, right by a corner, someone had a phone up in the air videoing. A smile curled on his lips as he watched what was happening and was thinking about the benefit the video was going to bring for him.“Who wouldn’t want to see what the new CEO is doing out there? I believe with this, all the rumors would be true and the image of sterling corporation would be tarnished.” The person said, and after recording enough, he slid his phone back into his pocket and walked away.—-“Please, don’t hurt me. I can’t even walk, yet you want to hit me?” Chen forced the words out of his swollen lips as he kept trying to get away, but he couldn’t. No matter how quickly he tried to drag himself away, Harrison would always cover the distance between them.“When you were hitting Lucas, did you think about all that trash you just said to me?” Harrison raised a brow at him as he walked further and lifted the baseball bat to land a hit, but a thought crawled into his head
Arriving at the hospital, Linda hastily walked towards the biller who was standing on the other side of the counter just around the entrance of the hospital. She was a young lady with exquisite features. Just the type of beauty to welcome anyone who walked into the place.Rachel was following behind her, dumbfounded. She wanted to ask how Linda got the money but decided to keep it to herself and watch what would happen.“Here is my card. I want to pay my grandmother's bill.” Linda pushed her card down to her, but the biller looked at her with disgust in my eyes.“You have another fake card with you, don’t you?” She replied sarcastically. Days ago, Linda had come in to pay the bills but when the biller checked, she saw the card was empty with no single cash in it.It became as though Linda intended to scam the hospital and her face was printed as a bad image to the biller. Even now, the look of disgust on her face was evident.“What did you say?” Linda grumbled at her. If she hadn’t had
At that moment, Linda knew the old woman was going to eat her up if she didn't bring something up to back up her words. Already, Grandmother had forcefully pulled herself from the IV drip which was more disturbing and if this was to drag on, then her mental health would be on the line too.“I have made us some money,” Linda said quickly but the woman didn’t move. She was still staring at her with a stone-cold gaze that meant ‘not enough’.“Look,” Linda said and brought out the platinum card as it was the only way to save herself. Everyone knew how much that card was worth, and it would certainly lighten her mood. She was sure of it.“A platinum card?” Rachel was the one who said, taking the words out of Grandmother’s mouth. She looked startled and was slowly able to connect everything in her head. Now she knew where Linda got the courage from and was able to pay the bills but then what was bothering them was where she got the card from.They were all penniless, and it wasn’t like Lin

“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
