Inside a Rolls-Royce, Ramon sat just beside his men after ordering them to prepare their guns and wait for a signal from Caroline. Though he told her he was going to lie low, he changed his mind. He wouldn't make a mistake to let the man who abducted Harrison go away. Even if the exchange goes successfully, he had sworn to make whosoever it was, pay for what he had done. It would be inevitable to run away from his wrath. He would make sure of that.Ring! Ring!The chip he put in his ears formed a connection with that of Caroline, and her voice came through. Ramon quickly signaled his men to accelerate faster while he listened to what she had to say.“Hello, are you there?” Caroline said, trying to test if the chip was connected and was going to convey her message.“Yes, I am here. Is it a trick? Do you need me to send in my men?” Ramon said restlessly.“No! It's the cab man. He is refusing to drive into the VIP section where I will meet the man” Caroline complained.“Wait what? How d
Boom! The cab man who was speedily driving away from everything, as soon as he was outside the hotel, a few meters away, the car blew up. The massive explosion resonated the place as fire spread out leaving the car burnt to ashes.“What the heck is that?” Ramon jumped to his feet after witnessing what just happened. He was watching from a long distance with his men waiting for the right time to lunge an attack when everything turned chaotic.The cab man blew up, and it has to be that the mastermind behind this was the same person who was holding Harrison hostage.“Did he do that to cover his traces or what? That man was innocent” Lucas grunted.“This is becoming dangerous. I hate to think that Caroline is in danger now. We have to spread out and jump in” Ramon said.“I swear to god, I am going to kill that man for doing all this. What the heck?” Lucas grumbled. He was still feeling angry about what happened, as he was the same person who threatened the man, forcing him into the VIP s
Caroline was frozen in shock by how quickly the man was able to figure out she was having a chip in her ear. It was so tiny that it fit right inside her earbud, yet this man could see it.The man used his fingers to drag it out and placed it in his palm, then brought it to her eyes.“You are working with Ramon?” The man jumped to a conclusion after examining the chip and figuring out whom it must be from.Instantly, Caroline almost jumped to her feet as all that she and Ramon planned would go to waste. None of it would happen and who knows, it must have worsened the situation she was in.She could tell as the frown etched on the man's face had gone deeper, and his aura was terrifying enough.“Answer my question, woman, or else I will put a bullet into your skull” the man growled.“Yes, he lent me the money, so I can save my husband” Caroline quickly said, and the man turned offensive. He grabbed her by the neck and started choking her. The worst of the situation was that he had a smil
“What do I want? I want you to hand over that woman to me and when I am out of here safely, I will let her go” the man said, smiling. After sweating profusely for a long time, he was now calm, seeming to have the situation under control.Caroline, who heard this, shivered in fright. No words could come out of her mouth as all she could do was hide behind Lucas to save herself.“What the heck are you saying? You want us to give her to you?” Lucas picked offense.“Yes. I can't guarantee you guys will let me go, so it's better to take preventive measures. The moment I am out of here, I will let her go!” the man replied.“How sure can we be that you won't just kidnap her anyway? And how about Harrison? How sure can we be that you will let him go too?” Ramon asked.The situation was turning complicated and both sides were not ready to back down for the other. Each side thought the other was trying to use the opportunity to advantage, making things worse.From Ramon's perspective, he figure
“Huh? What did you say?” The guard replied, daring Harrison to repeat what he said.“I said you are such a prick. The only good you can do is guarding. I think you must be so weak that your boss decided to get rid of you!” Harrison repeated, aiming to rile it up, and it was working.The guard gritted his teeth tight and with his fingers balled into a fist as he glared daggers at Harrison.“He didn’t get rid of me. I just have to guard a dunce like you!” the guard sneered.“Guard? Did you just say, guard? That’s only what you are good at? I bet you don’t even know how to throw punches or use a gun,” Harrison taunted, enjoying every bit of it.“What the fuck did you just say? Or do you want me to try some punches on you?” The guard asked, daring Harrison. He was feeling pushed to the edge and wanted to prove it by breaking some of Harrison’s bones. In his head, he had started imagining it already.“Yes. It’s not like you can do shit! Why don’t you get me out of these chains, then we see
“I won’t tell you shit! I won’t sell out my boss. Never!” The guard yelled. Even though he was still shivering from Harrison’s wrath, his loyalty seemed to be firm, but Harrison thought he needed to break him to spill what he wanted.“Even in the face of death, you still want to defend your boss?” Harrison sneered.“What you can do to me can’t be compared to that of my boss. So whatever you have in mind, get it over with” the man said, admitting defeat as he saw no way to break free from Harrison.“Are you sure about that? You know, I am going to kill you!” Harrison threatened again and started choking him but didn’t press harder to make him tremble and spill what he wanted, but the man refused to.It seemed it wasn’t out of loyalty alone but more of fear. Harrison could tell endless torture would be waiting for the man if he gave out his boss.But then, Harrison wasn’t the type who would kill someone irrespective of their offense unless they had gone beyond boundaries. To him, this m
“We won’t make it! Duck!” Lucas yelled and grabbed Caroline, forcing her to lie down on the floor. The others who were running quickly lay down on the floor to avoid getting caught in the blast.Already, their fast legs had got them almost out of the hotel when the blast happened. But then they weren’t saved. The impact swept them off the floor and crashed into cars that were in their front.Lucas quickly used his body to shield Caroline while the others could handle themselves. Bang!The high-pitched sound echoed after they collided with the cars. Windows broke and glass shattered to the floor, bruising some of them. However, the reason the impact of the explosion didn’t do much damage to them was the fact that the material they were wearing was made with Kelva. It was a strong and lightweight material used even in bulletproof. Having their suits made with that for preventive measures saved lives.That was the reason why Lucas was quick to shield Caroline with his body since he wa
The CT scan started as Harrison was slid into a large donut-shaped machine called a gantry. The gantry emits a narrow beam of X-rays that rotates around his body, scanning it.As the X-rays passed through his body, they were detected by a series of detectors that were located on the other side of the gantry. The doctor paid attention as the machine started working while waiting to get a result from it. His eyes kept darting from the gantry down to a computer that would process the information and give out a result.Meanwhile, Whitman was escorted out of the unit so the doctor and others could have a proper time to examine Harrison properly. But then, Whitman stood outside watching through the wall that was made from glass.Meanwhile, the doctor kept on doing what he could to the best of his knowledge. The first thing he tried to check was if Harrison had a Brain turmoil. With all the blood dripping from his head and after he was blasted with a rod, the doctor could only come up with s

“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
