The scruffy man straightened up, brushing the dirt off his torn clothes. He met Lars' gaze with a steady, determined look. "That doesn't matter," he said. "What matters is that you were warned, and you chose to ignore it. Now, your actions is going to put you at great risk."Lars took a step back, his mind was racing. He had never seen this man before, yet this man seemed to know everything about him and the secret mission they were on. His hands trembled slightly as he tried to process the situation."How do you know my name? How do you what do mean when you speak of me doing something that I was warned against huh?" Lars demanded, with his voice rising with a mix of fear and anger.The man gave a small, sad smile. "I know a lot of things, Mr. Van Der Meer. And I'm here to stop you before it's too late."Lars felt a chill run down his spine. This was no ordinary man. He took another step back, glancing around at the convoy and his men, who were now watching the scene with confusion
Inside the soundproof chamber, Lars Van Der Meer and Romeo Stormbreaker sat across from each other at a stainless metal table. The room was dimly lit, with harsh overhead lights casting sharp shadows on their faces. Surrounding them were numerous video cameras, with lenses that glinted ominously in the dim light, capturing every movement and expression.Despite the thick walls of the chamber, Lars could sense the presence of Romeo's men, whose eyes were glued to the monitors outside, vigilantly watching the silent exchange between the two former comrades.Romeo leaned forward, as his steely gaze never wavered from Lars. "Why did you do this, Lars?" he began, with a voice that was calm but laced with a hard edge. "Why did you decide to betray your country?"Lars met Romeo's eyes, putting up an unreadable expression. "I did it to provide for myself and my family after you dismissed me from the army," he said flatly.Romeo's eyes narrowed, his anger was barely contained. "You know the
Lars's eyes widened in shock as he realized what Romeo was talking about. He couldn't believe Romeo still remembered the Wrymkugel orb after all these years. The orb wasn't just any old object; it was a powerful and mysterious sphere, about the size of a grapefruit, with strange, swirling patterns on its shiny surface. It seemed to shimmer with different colors, like an oil slick in the light.The orb had a dark legend attached to it. People said that whoever held the Wrymkugel orb could cause chaos and destruction. By simply pointing their arm while holding the orb, they could unleash powerful forces, like creating explosions or tearing down walls. It was a tool of incredible power, and Lars had come across it many years ago when he was still part of a secret group that handled the country's most dangerous missions.Back then, Lars didn't fully understand what the orb could do, so he kept it hidden. He only stole the orb because it was Romeo's prized possession at the time.He th
Lars strained against the straps binding him to the chair, his muscles were tense and his veins were bulging in a desperate attempt to break free. The cold metal dug into his wrists, but the pain was nothing compared to the fear and rage boiling within him. He yelled at Romeo, with a voice that cracked with emotion, "Why involve my family? They're innocent!"Romeo's face remained impassive, though his eyes flickered with a dangerous light. "To get the truth out of you, of course," he said smoothly, with a tone that was almost mocking."I told you, I am not with your fucking orb," Lars said firmly, trying to maintain eye contact, though his voice wavered slightly.Romeo leaned in closer, scrutinizing Lars's face. He watched the subtle shifts in Lars's body, the way his eyes darted momentarily, the clenching of his jaw. It was all the confirmation Romeo needed. A cold smile spread across his face."You see, Lars, I am not afraid of ensuring that a bullet is planted in the head of each
The Harte Boers, descended from their armored vehicles with precision and swiftness. They moved like a well-oiled machine, their faces hidden behind masks and their eyes were focused and determined. As they approached the building that held Romeo and his men, they unleashed a torrent of gunfire, with their automatic weapons roaring in a chaotic symphony.Bullets shattered windows and riddled the walls, sending shards of glass and debris flying. The gunfire was intense and violent, cutting down multiple Mondosh soldiers who were caught off guard. The once-quiet base was now a battlefield, filled with the deafening sound of gunshots and the cries of the wounded.Francois Viljoen, the leader of the Harte Boers operation, stood tall amidst the chaos. His sharp eyes scanned the battlefield, taking in every detail. He barked orders to his men, with a voice that was calm but commanding. "RPGs to the main door! We need to breach it and get inside!" he shouted.A group of men quickly asse
The evening was perfect for a grand event. One of Mrs. Davidson's luxury hotels was all decked out, ready to host what could be the biggest fundraising event of the year. The entrance was lined with red carpets and beautiful flowers, while inside, the ballroom sparkled with chandeliers that lit up the room like diamonds.The event was for a billion-dollar real estate project that Mrs. Davidson was planning, and many important people that had affiliations with the Davidson group were in attendance. They arrived in fancy cars, dressed in their finest clothes. The women wore elegant dresses, and the men looked sharp in their suits and ties. As they entered the hotel, they exchanged pleasantries, shaking hands and chatting about business and the latest news.The air was filled with excitement and the soft hum of conversation.

The music grew louder, filling the ballroom with a joyful tune. The waiters swiftly moved among the guests, serving the finest dishes and the most exquisite drinks. Plates were filled with gourmet food, and glasses sparkled with bubbling champagne.

She wanted everyone to be in high spirits so that when the time came, they would feel generous and willing to donate generously to the fundraiser.Meanwhile, General Romeo Stormbreaker, now comfortably seated at the high table, was served a special meal. The chefs had prepared the best dishes, knowing how important the General's presence was. He began to dig into his meal, clearly enjoying the food. His office
General Stormbreaker turned back to Jane and said, "He plays the guitar well."Just then, a young boy walked up to Romeo, standing at attention. Romeo chuckled and said, "Hey, my good young friend, how are you?""I am good, sir," the boy answered with innocence.Before Romeo could respond further, the boy leaned close and whispered something in his ear. Romeo’s eyes widened in shock, but he quickly composed himself and smiled, "Very well, young man."The boy then pointed at Joseph Schultz. Romeo looked at Joseph Schultz who was standing a distance away from where he was sitting and nodded curtly. It didn't take long before the young boy left the place where Romeo was.General Stormbreaker had been provided with a very vital information.Jane Davidson, upon noticing the exchange, asked, "So, what do you think about your drink? Hope it suits your taste?""Oh this?" Romeo pointed at the wine. "Of course I will take it." Romeo took a generous sip from the glass, savoring the rich, velvet
