After what felt like an eternity, Romeo stirred as cold water splashed onto his face.

His eyelids fluttered, and he slowly regained consciousness. Blinking against the harsh light, he found two men standing over him, their hands were dripping from the water they had just used to rouse him.

As his senses returned, Romeo's confusion turned to shock. He looked down and saw that his tailored suit had been replaced with tattered rags.

How could this be?

To what end was this?

Who had been responsible for putting Romeo into such a terrible state?

His wrists were bound tightly to the arms of a heavy wooden chair. Panic surged through him, and he struggled against his restraints, but it was futile.

Lifting his gaze, Romeo was met with a surreal and unsettling sight. He was in the center of a grand, opulent hall, filled with elegantly dressed people. Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting a glittering light over the crowd. The air was thick with the scent of expensive perfumes and

    Romeo's head throbbed, and his vision blurred as Roscoe's command echoed through the hall. "Untie him and let's give the audience what they want."The men who had doused Romeo with water stepped forward and began untying his restraints. His limbs felt heavy and weak, and his muscles ached from the struggle. His mind swirled with confusion and fear as he tried to comprehend his situation.Roscoe, with a gleam of sadistic pleasure in his eyes, began to unbutton his shirt, revealing a muscular build that made him even more intimidating. He tossed his shirt aside and flexed his muscles, coupled with that, a menacing grin spread across his face.The crowd's anticipation grew as they sensed the impending violence. The laughter and whispers gave way to a charged silence, with all eyes fixed on Roscoe and the helpless Romeo.As the last strap was removed, Romeo slumped forward, barely able to keep himself upright. His legs felt like jelly, and his head spun from the disorientation and terr

    Roscoe still exuded confidence and dominance as he rushed toward Romeo with a fist that was clenched and aimed to deliver a heavy, deadly punch. The crowd's cheers grew louder, anticipating the final blow. Roscoe's eyes were filled with the thrill of victory, his movements were brimming with the assurance of his impending triumph.I will destroy this useless church rat and gain great and better rewards from Mrs Davidson and Mr Andrew Baines.

He waited for the perfect moment, as every second kept stretching out like an eternity.Then, with lightning speed and precision, Romeo executed a simple yet shocking kung fu move. He sidestepped Roscoe's punch effortlessly and, in one fluid motion, delivered a swift strike to a pressure point on left let which Romeo considered to be a weakness and then to Roscoe's sid

    Two days later, Roscoe lay in a hospital bed, looking far different from the confident and dominant man he had been. The room was quiet except for the steady beeping of the machines monitoring his condition. A drip set was attached to his arm, slowly delivering fluids and medication to help him recover.Roscoe’s face was pale, and every movement seemed to cause him pain. He winced as he shifted slightly, trying to find a more comfortable position. The sharp pain in his side was a constant reminder of Romeo’s unexpected skill, the surprising blow that didn't only knocked him out, but partially paralyzed him. He couldn’t stop thinking about how easily he had been defeated.A doctor entered the room, wearing a reassuring smile. "Mr. Roscoe, how are you feeling today?" he asked, checking the monitors and adjusting the drip.Roscoe grunted in response. "Better, I guess," he said through gritted teeth. The pain was still intense, but he tried not to show it. He didn’t want to appear wea

    The next day, Romeo felt a sudden pang of hunger, however he decided to head to a nearby snack shop for a sandwich.The snack shop was busy with the lunchtime crowd. Now inside the shop, Romeo joined the line, the smell of fresh bread and sizzling meats momentarily distracted him from his dark thoughts.As he reached the counter, he ordered a turkey sandwich. Just as he was about to pay, an arrogant-looking man in a crisp t shirt shoved him aside, cutting in front of him. The man's disdainful sneer was infuriating."Hey!" Romeo barked, as his hand instinctively twitched towards his pocket. The man's rudeness had ignited a spark of anger in him, and his muscles began tensing up as he prepared to retaliate.But then, Romeo paused. He thought of the task ahead, the larger battles he had to fight, especially how had to tackle with the calamity that Lord Baines had brought upon the country's GDP.Taking a deep breath, he stepped back, deciding not to escalate the situation."You are very

    Romeo squared his shoulders, staring down at the two hefty men. "You two think that you can get away with insulting me, huh?" he challenged with a voice that was steady and defiant.The first man snorted and stepped closer, with a face that was twisted with anger. "Shut up and leave the road, you idiot," he growled. "You’re blocking our way."The second man folded his arms, his biceps began to bulg under his shirt. "Get lost, Romeo, or we'll make you regret it," he threatened.Ignoring their words, Romeo took out his phone. He quickly began the process of sending a text message. His focus never left the two men as his eyes began to shift from the men to his phone.The first man slapped the phone out of his hand. "You think we're joking?" he snarled. "Leave now, or something worse will happen to you."Romeo picked up his phone, and with an unfazed expression, he said. "I’m not going anywhere," he said calmly. "Do what you want to do."The second man cracked his knuckles. "You’re really

    A soldier named Corporal Jenkins sprinted towards General Romeo Stormbreaker's office, holding a tablet tightly in his hands. His face was red, and he was sweating as he ran through the busy hallways of the headquarters.When he reached the large wooden door with the general's insignia, he didn't hesitate. Jenkins burst into the office, making the door slam against the wall. He stood up straight, saluted, and stamped his feet. "Sir!" he said loudly, showing both urgency and respect.Romeo, who was reviewing some plans at his desk, looked up, surprised. His eyes narrowed as he saw the soldier's worried expression. "Good day, Corporal. What's your report?" he asked calmly.Corporal Jenkins' hands were shaking as he handed the tablet to Romeo. "Sir, we have a problem," he said nervously. "Look for yourself, sir."Romeo took the tablet and started watching a video. His expression darkened as he saw a group of mean-looking soldiers waving the Harte Boer flag. In front of them were sever

    He slumped back in his chair, his eyes were fixed on the shattered remains of the tablet. The realization hit him like a ton of bricks: Kriel was no ordinary adversary. This was not the same as facing Colonel Van Der Merwe. Kriel's methods were more sophisticated, his strategies more cunning. He had outsmarted them all.How did Kriel manage to stay ahead of the Mondosh forces this whole time?What were Kriel's next moves, and how can he anticipate them?What crucial piece of information was Romeo missing about Kriel?What possible way could he adopt a strategy to counter Kriel's sophistication now that it seemed like he had the advantage over his army?Could there be anyone within our ranks feeding Kriel information?"I…I…"Before Romeo could reply Corporal Jenkins question, he was interrupted by a knock on the door. He looked up to see Lieutenant Sanders standing there, putting up a face that was etched with concern. "General, is everything alright?"Romeo took a deep breath, tryin

    Romeo strode purposefully down the corridor of the headquarters flanked by Lieutenant General Thompson and Lieutenant Jenkins. There was severe tension in the air but Romeo's newfound resolve radiated from him."Your Majesty, this strategy from the Codex... it’s revolutionary," Thompson marveled, glancing sideways at Romeo. "The idea of using small, mobile units to harass and demoralize Kriel’s forces—it's ingenious."Jenkins nodded in agreement. "I must admit, sir, I’ve never seen anything like it. The unpredictability, the psychological warfare—it could truly turn the tide."Romeo gave a small smile, as the corners of his mouth began lifting with confidence. "I trust my instincts, Jenkins. This move won’t fail us. Kriel may be cunning, but he's not invincible. We’ll exploit his weaknesses and strike fear into his ranks.""But do you think this will be effective against Major Kriel?" Thompson asked, as his brow was furrowed with concern. "He's proven to be more than a match for us s

He had promised to call general Stormbreaker at this time.Romeo knew this conversation would be crucial for rebuilding the Davidson Group."General Stormbreaker speaking," Romeo said in his calm, strong voice."My prince... I’ve heard about what happened with Mrs. Davidson. The illegal deals, the money laundering, the killings... It’s a mess," Mr. Richards replied. "Why should I trust Davidson Hospitality group with my money now? That group is full of ambitious suckers who would do anything for money."Romeo remained composed.

    Romeo sat beside Linda, who lay on the hospital bed, with a drip connected to her arm. Her eyes were red from crying, and her voice was weak."So my mother really killed our daughter?" she asked, her lips were trembling."Yes, love," Romeo answered softly. "She hated the fact that a broke man like me was living in her house, married to her most beautiful daughter."Linda’s face twisted in pain. "She…she’s so cruel. How could she ensure that a newborn baby—her own grandchild—was brutally killed? My baby..." Her voice broke as tears streamed down her cheeks.Romeo gently wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. "It’s okay, love. Don’t worry about that now," he whispered, trying to soothe her. "It’s over. We’ll get through this."She let out soft sobs, but after a while, Romeo’s comforting touch calmed her. Her crying slowed, and she rested her head on his chest."If my mother hadn’t taken her own life, I would have strangled the life out of her myself," Linda fumed. "How could sh

    Joseph Schultz took a deep breath before continuing his testimony, the weight of his words heavy in the silent courtroom. “However, Your Honor,” he began, “that is not her only sin. Mrs. Davidson was also responsible for the cyber attack on NovaTech, which caused the company to lose billions of dollars. This attack led to the tragic death of Miss Chen, the CEO of NovaTech, who took her own life after the collapse of her business.” Gasps filled the room as the people listened in shock. The judge leaned forward slightly. “What evidence do you have to prove this, Mr. Schultz?” Joseph reached into his pocket and pulled out a small flash drive. “I have a voice recording, Your Honor. This recording captures Mrs. Davidson speaking with the computer experts who carried out the heist.” “Can we hear it?” the judge asked, his voice calm but firm. Joseph nodded and handed the flash drive to a court officer, who inserted it into a laptop. Moments later, the sound of Mrs. Davidson’s voice fill

    It was trial day for Mrs Davidson and in the courtroom, Mrs. Davidson stood before the judge, and her face was tight with tension. The air was heavy as the judge looked down at her from his high seat. His voice was firm and clear."Mrs. Davidson," the judge began, "you are charged with corruption, murder, and coercion. ?"Mrs. Davidson raised her head, and her voice was strong. "Not guilty, Your Honor. I deny all these charges."Mrs. Davidson’s eyes flashed with anger as she raised her voice, refusing to stay calm in this matter. Her hands were clenched at the sides of the podium, her knuckles were white with tension."These accusations are absurd!" she spat, her voice was venomous. "I have worked my whole life to build my company from the ground up. I would never stoop to murder, corruption, or coercion! This is nothing but a disgusting attempt to ruin my reputation!"Her words echoed through the courtroom, and people shifted in their seats, taken aback by her sudden aggression."Y

    Two black bullet proof SUV vehicles pulled up in front of the hospital were Helen was. The doors opened, and General Romeo Stormbreaker stepped out. He didn’t wait for his security detail. His mind was only on Helen. He rushed toward the emergency department, with his military boots hitting the ground fast and hard.Without his usual moustache, the citizens nearby didn’t recognize him. Some glanced at him, confused by his familiar face, but they didn’t know who he was. Romeo ignored them and hurried through the hospital’s front doors, his eyes were scanning the area.“Where is the emergency department?” he asked the receptionist, his voice was tense.“Down the hall, first door to the left,” she quickly replied.Romeo followed her directions, walking fast. As he reached the entrance of the ward, he saw Helen’s mother, father, and sister waiting in the corner. They looked nervous, pacing back and forth. But when they saw him—dressed in his general's uniform—their eyes widened in shoc

    General Romeo Stormbreaker’s eyes narrowed as he looked down at Linda, who had fainted on the floor. He pointed to the soldiers near him.“Take her to the hospital,” he ordered, as his voice was sharp. “Make sure she receives the best treatment.”Without hesitation, two soldiers rushed to Linda’s side. They carefully lifted her from the ground and carried her out of the hall, moving quickly yet gently, as the crowd looked on in tense silence.The atmosphere in the room thickened. Every person in the hall felt the weight of the moment. Romeo Stormbreaker—once thought to be a humble and poor ex-husband—was now revealed as not just a powerful man, but as the most dangerous man in Mondosh. The tension was almost unbearable.As the soldiers left with Linda, Romeo slowly turned his gaze towards Mrs. Davidson, who stood frozen in the corner of the room. His eyes were filled with years of anger, hatred, and the promise of revenge.Mrs. Davidson’s face paled even more as his eyes locked onto

    A quiet knock interrupted Linda’s thoughts. She turned her head towards the door and sighed.“Come in,” she called, expecting maybe a servant or a guest looking for a quiet moment.To her surprise, two men in military uniforms stepped inside. Linda’s eyebrows furrowed, her eyes were questioning their sudden appearance.“Madam Linda,” one of the soldiers said firmly, “your presence is needed in the celebration hall.”Her confusion deepened. “What happened? Why is my presence needed? I just left there a few moments ago.”The soldier straightened. “Those are General Stormbreaker’s orders.”Linda’s eyes widened in disbelief. “General Stormbreaker?” she repeated, her heart skipping a beat.“Yes, madam. General Stormbreaker,” confirmed the soldier.Without a word, Linda stood up, her legs started feeling heavier with each step as she moved towards the door. The two soldiers flanked her as they walked down the long hallway towards the celebration hall. Her thoughts raced—General Stormbreak

    Joseph Schultz gave a nervous laugh and quickly waved his hands. “Come on, boss. Don’t give me that look, I’m just kidding.”Mrs. Davidson frowned. “Are you mocking me?” she asked sharply, as her eyes narrowed.“No, no,” Joseph replied, shaking his head. “Come on, Mrs. Davidson, don’t take this too seriously. There’s no way that trash ex-son-in-law of yours is anything important, now or in the future.”Mrs. Davidson's gaze softened slightly, but her voice remained cold. “You’re very lucky you’re not mocking me,” she warned, as her tone was full of danger. “If you were, you’d be met with bitter consequences.”She brushed past him and moved toward the crowd, who were once again celebrating as if nothing had happened.Meanwhile, Linda slipped away quietly, her mind was spinning after everything that had happened. She headed up the stairs to her room, still inside the mansion, her footsteps were slow and heavy.When she reached her room, she closed the door behind her and leaned against i

    Mrs. Davidson stared at Romeo for a moment, her lips started twitching. Then, she suddenly burst out laughing. The sound echoed in the hall, it was loud and mocking. Her laughter was high-pitched and cruel, and soon, some of the people in the crowd began to join in, chuckling and whispering to each other."General Romeo Stormbreaker?" Mrs. Davidson said between fits of laughter, wiping away fake tears from her eyes. "Oh, this is just priceless! Do you hear him, everyone? He thinks he the prince and heir to the throne of the kingdom now!"The crowd murmured and giggled, casting amused glances at Romeo. One man in the back chuckled and said to his friend, "Isn't that Linda’s ex husband? The guy from the streets? He must have lost his mind!"Another woman shook her head and whispered to her companion, "Poor Romeo. He’s always been a troublemaker. Now he’s making up stories to sound important."Mrs. Davidson stepped closer to Romeo, her eyes were gleaming with cruel delight. "Oh, Romeo,
