Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 069: A Contest On Dark Web
Ding!The PC made this sound when Levi rejected the invitation. Soon enough, he was redirected to a group chat.There were nine other members with their code names on full display and the administrator of the group who was the client.[Welcome Blackwing. Now the spots are completely taken up. I'll explain the details of the mission]The admin sent a message and Levi could see the chat boxes icon floating around but he didn't send a message.He only watched as other members sent their messages. He however noticed every other member had a wing icon with a number symbol.It was probably credits for all the previous missions they must have completed.He however was the only one that stuck out without credit and every other person probably figured out he was a newbie.However, the admin wasn't concerned about this as the page of the group chats flooded with messages.[Some unknown assailants took my brother, his wife and son hostages two days ago][Surprisingly, no ransom has been asked fo
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 070: Causing A Stir
When Levi got to the hospital, his father had already fallen unconscious. He walked up to the doctor attending to him."Oh Mr Lloyd, you are here. We already sedated him when he was going out of control. He'll be out for longer this time and will hopefully wake up calmer.""But I should tell you this," The doctor hung his stethoscope around his neck. "Sedating your father consecutively will have an adverse effect."Levi ran his fingers through his hair anxiously. He glanced at Thomas and asked, "Wasn't he already faring better than before? Why did this suddenly happen?""The nurse who was assigned to him had to deal with an emergency and couldn't show up so we got another temporary nurse for him," The doctor adjusted his glass frame as he focused on Levi."We didn't expect despite being in this condition, your father would notice and go hysterical while calling out for—"Levi's ears quirked when the doctor suddenly paused and looked at him with a quizzical look."Mr Lloyd, who is Hann
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 071: Going Undercover
[Loading]He looked away and reached out for a can of soda James had grabbed along. When he turned back to the laptop screen, it was displaying messages from the group chat.[I have managed to trace fund transactions from a bank account located in the mountainous area. So there must be a secret base in there]- a member Levi didn't interact with earlier with the code name, Valkyrie dropped a message.She also attached various documents of her investigations.[Good. Then we should set out tomorrow and comb the area. Hopefully, it leads to where the captives are being held]- Shadow answered quickly.Levi sat back and watched without moving his fingers. He felt like this member named Shadow liked to be dominant and in charge.[For the new members, it is essential you take only vital ammunition and tools. For this mission, you are expected to have climbing skills or you might as well back out now]- this message was written by Eclipse.[Yikes, I'm not very good at climbing]- Sabre whined w
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 072: Let's Practice Some PDA
Levi walked out in confident strides. The tuxedo felt comfortable and fitted him like a glove.Feeling the texture of the expensive clothing materials that must have been used to design the tux, it filled him with a sense of cockiness."Woah! Someone's looking dashing," Brooklyn cheered and gave him a thumbs-up.She turned to the mirror to look at her reflection again not expecting him to stand behind her.Her breath hitched as she watched him through the mirror. His stunning blue eyes shone brightly as he asked in a husky tone,"So... How do we look?"'The perfect couple,' she answered inwardly but didn't dare to say it out loud. However, she gasped when his hand suddenly snake around her waist from behind."What are you doing?" Her voice came out more of a whisper than she'd liked.Levi smiled as her face flamed. Good, he wasn't the only one feeling it. "Shouldn't we rehearse for tomorrow? You know, some PDA? For show of course."Brooklyn's cheeks instantly got two large circles of
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 073: On A Rescue Mission
They crept in silently, their feet making a stealthy shuffle against the floor and maintaining an orderly path.There seems to be this demeaning aura compelling them to follow behind Levi.Perhaps because he was walking forward calmly and more confident than the rest of them.However, he suddenly stopped, causing them to come to a stop too. His masked face looked upward."What's wrong?" Valkyrie whispered but Levi didn't respond. He simply shot a foot out and withdrew it as quickly as it was out.An action simply too fast for them to process. But red beams of lights suddenly shot out, displaying a pattern of lasers."Oh, we would have walked right into it," Hades breathed, stroking his chin while taking a step back.Infact a ray of the red light was right in front of his leg. If he had taken another step, he would have triggered an alarm and gotten all of them into trouble."I'll disable them now," Valkyrie brought out a small device she had taken along and began to work on it.Levi d
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 074: Shared A Kiss
Brooklyn resisted the urge to roll her eyes because she recognized the voice too well.Contrary to how she was feeling, she lifted her face and gave the heavily pregnant woman in front of her a beautiful smile.Outsiders hearing her speak would have thought she was a good friend of Brooklyn but in actual fact, they never got along either in college or now.Back then, Anastasia was just a poor girl who had managed to get into an Ivy League college.She hated Brooklyn to the core because she was the daughter of one of the wealthiest families in San Jose.She got everything she wanted freely because she was born with a silver spoon. A privilege Anastasia didn't get.What more? Brooklyn was smart, ranked top of classes and had guys chasing after her."Hi Anastasia, we meet again," Brooklyn felt like Anastasia wanted to rip off the smile on her face.'Steele even invited nouveau riches to his banquet too? If I had known, I wouldn't have attended today and would've just sent my gifts.'Afte
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 075: Making Them Speechless
Levi could feel Brooklyn's legs go weak as she slipped so he held her up with his hands firmly around her waist.The gasps in the background blurred as he sunk into her sweetness. His lips gently sucking hers as he invaded her senses. He only let go when she was breathless.He smiled down at the dazed look on her face, her swollen lips and the way she held his collar tightly as if she didn't want to let go."You are Brooklyn's husband?" Levi's attention was attracted by a shocked voice behind them.He looked at the heavily pregnant woman not recollecting her face. "You are?""Levi," Zoe walked forward. Her fingers left red marks on the spots they had dug on her palms.As she watched them kissing, she kept thinking, 'He never kissed me so passionately like this in the past. Has he really fallen for this woman? Who is she?'However, Micheal pulled her back. "Zoe, haven't you caused enough harm? Let's leave now."He felt he had completely lost face in front of everyone. Zoe had blatantly
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 076: Questions About The Ring
Brooklyn bade farewell to the Steele's and helped Levi out because he was tipsy and staggering.This is because the stubborn man insisted on drinking the alcoholic drinks offered to her that night. Although it warmed her heart, he still got drunk in the process.However, just as they were getting to the door, a middle-aged man obstructed their path."Good evening, Mrs Brooklyn. I have been searching for an opportunity all night to introduce myself to you."Brooklyn looked up and her face turned grim because she recognized the man.He was a nouveau riche who had tried to acquire a contract with the Hernandez's Group once.The contract was almost successful but Brooklyn's sources found out the man was involved in some kind of fraud and the materials he provided for the project were below the standards required.That was how the contract fell through."Hello Mister, you'll have to reach out some other time. As you can see, I'm leaving," Brooklyn didn't want to waste time talking with suc

235: The End II
Juan is right. He really owes Laura even in the next lifetime. She trusted him, loved him but he tore their family apart and couldn't even cherish the one person she left behind. Did he still deserve to live? __________ A few weeks later after the news of what had befallen the madam of Hernandez family broke out, Levi was in the ward speaking to his father who was about to be taken away to the Wales by Cyrus, Marie and Lincoln when a guard walked in. "Sir, the young madam's father has come for a visit. He is currently with her." Heading this, Levi brows furrowed and he stood. He looked down at his father who didn't even react like he had heard his words and sighed. "Father, be good, okay? I'll come with Brooklyn to visit you sometime when she has fully recovered. Bye." He turned to his uncle, aunt and cousin with a grateful look. They all shared a hug and he told them, "I wish you a safe trip and please tell grandfather I sent my greetings." With that, they bade farewell and h
234: The End I
Juan simply gave Luis a look that made him feel like he was a fool and walked around him, going straight to Yolanda and completely ignoring him. "Should I tell them about the aphrodisiac or you will?"When he said these words, Yolanda's eyes widened in fear and she panicked. He didn't stop there, "Or I should talk about the vitamins instead. I'm sure my brother will like to learn more about Andy."Yolanda's knees turned weak and she almost collapsed if it weren't for the cops holding her. Seeing her reaction, Luis walked up to them. "What are you talking about?"Juan finally gave him attention and pointed at him, "You are such a fool. I can't believe you cheated with this thing on Laura. You should atone for your sins at her grave for the rest of your life!"Luis gritted angrily and his fingers balled into fists but he knew he stood no chance against Juan if he attempted to strike."That's enough Juan," Grandfather Hernandez stepped in. "What's all this fuss about? Ask the cops to l
233: Game Over II
"Here are records of her purchasing many illegal drugs from this black market trader. They managed to track her transactions and realized that besides purchasing a potent poison within different time frames and a few other drugs yet to be identified, she also purchased a strong aphrodisiac that has been banned for years."Levi's expression turned rigid upon hearing this. Aphrodisiac? He looked at the hospital bed where Brooklyn was sleeping peacefully wrapped in bandages and suddenly remembered the first time he had met her.She had run down the street trying to escape from Larry. He could still remember how strong he had felt the scent of the aphrodisiac from her.All those times, he used to think Larry was the one behind the aphrodisiac but what if he had an accomplice.Larry might have wrongfully listed after Brooklyn but Levi knew he was too chickenhearted to purchase that contraband himself.So it must have been someone who gave it to him and that person could be Yolanda."Uncle,
232: Game Over
Gunshots suddenly rang out in the warehouse and the guns in the thugs hands began to fall to the ground one after the other as they cried in pain,"Argh!""Ah!!!!""Argh!!!!""Ow!!!"Noah's eyes almost bulged out of their sockets as he watched all his men fall to the floor and writhe in pain. "You bastard!" He yelled into the microphone as he watched cops emerge. "Are you so foolish? Do you think your wife will go Scot free now? Just a word from me and her mutilated body parts will be sent to your doorstep!"Levi's eyes darkened at his words. He looked around because he knew Noah could see him. "Do you know what has become of your accomplice, Billy? Just surrender now or your term will be worse."Noah laughed and the warehouse echoed with his laughter. "That was all my plan, you fool! He was after my ring too so how could I let him remain with me?! He is no longer useful so I tossed him out.""You have gone against me and I can see you value the ring more than your wife. That is w
231: Come Get It
As the chaos subsided, Juan received a call and stepped away from the gathering. He found a quiet place and answered the call just before it was disconnected."Hello, did you find out anything?" He was a bit anxious about what the other person was going to say. If Luis is really declared guilty, he won't spare him."Sir, we tracked his call records and his bank records even deleted transactions but found nothing unusual."Juan didn't know why he released a sigh of relief. He wasn't wrong after all. Luis might be temperamental and easily pissed off but he won't do anything to hurt his own family. Then who tampered with the vitamins? Because Juan had a bit of knowledge in medicine, he knew the vitamins were manufactured by a popular pharmaceutical company and they were original products.Which means someone must have tampered with the vitamins after they were purchased? He had almost forgotten that he was on a call until the person spoke again."Sir, we also checked the call records of
230: Lloyd's of Wales
"She's missing," Hector announced as he walked into the sitting room where the cops were handling Billy and the bloody mess he had causedLevi was on a sofa with an oppressive expression that showed one shouldn't come closer to him."Oh no! Our poor Brooke! She only just got released and she's gone again!" Yolanda was on the other side of the room crying her eyes out.This sound made Levi's fingers clench with every passing second. Why act like she cares?"Mr Lloyd, do you know who could be behind this?" A cop was asking Levi for the umpteenth time yet was receiving no response.Luis walked up to them furiously and pointed at him. "How dare you act nonchalant?! Officer, hold him responsible if anything happens to my daughter!"Levi's face hardened but he refused to say a word and just sat there listening to Luis' rants. Images of Brooklyn's current state kept on running through his mind and he almost couldn't breathe."Levi!" The door the cops were entering and leaving through suddenl
229: End Of You
Brooklyn was walking down the hallway to her room when she felt someone sprinted across the hallway. She didn't think too much about it as she was still upset about what had happened in the sitting room.She has never seen her father so angry and that too at his own brother. These days, she feels her father is gradually turning into someone they all don't know anymore.Not to mention the cold war he has been engaging with these days.Tap!She halted when she saw the shadow of the person sprinting across the hallway again. She was suddenly scared and called out, "Who is there?!"No one answered her and she turned around. The hallway was silent. "Maybe I'm just being paranoid," She mumbled to herself.No one could get into this house anyway. But as she shook her thoughts away and took another step, someone suddenly strangled her from behind."Ah—" Her shout was muffled as a cloth was put over her nose. Her body went paralyzed with fear as she realized what was happening.She wanted to s
228: Don't Dare Me
"This wasn't what we both agreed to. I don't agree to this," Billy kicked a chair as he flared.Noah Lloyd didn't bat an eye at his actions. He simply said, "If you want to get Levi, this will be your only way.""Why do I have to go in there and get his wife himself? You have so many men they could easily carry out the job. Why me? It feels like you are sending me straight to the enemy's trap."Billy hated to admit it but he was a bit scared about facing Levi. Now he has to find a way to sneak into the Hernandez family residence himself, knock Brooklyn out and find a way to sneak her out.Noah's plan didn't sound feasible to him and he wasn't a fool. No way will he do that.Noah smiled craftily. He knew it. Billy wasn't as foolish as he thinks so there was no way he could keep him now. He just has to get rid of him.Besides, the dumbo also wants his ring. All the more reason for him not to survive but first he had to convince the fool."Your first attempt at the hospital was a complet
227: Familial Ties
"I'm certainly not a tour guide now."Levi chuckled at Juan's words but waited for him to continue. He relished the taste of the first food he grabbed and wondered if Brooklyn had her dinner yet."I think... I should keep what I do as a secret but it has nothing to do with our family's business.""That's not fair uncle. What's with the suspense?" Levi frowned and Juan laughed.The former was quite curious about this eldest son of Hernandez's family that has managed to evade the discerning eyes of paparazzi for years.Although Juan was estranged from the family, he appeared to be living better than his younger brother, Luis.Heck if they were to stand together one wouldn't be able to judge who was the younger one or the older one."Let's keep that aside now. Maybe someday... What I just want to say is whatever my brother does, just know he means no harm. He is ambitious and all but doesn't take it to heart. Go easy on him."Levi paused and swallowed the food in his mouth. One would hav
