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
[Your USD acct ending with 4983 has received a credit alert of $30,00,000][[Your USD Acct Balance: *****]Levi's eyes flickered as he scrolled to check who sent him thirty million dollars out of the blue.His brows creased when he saw the name of the sender and he turned around."Grandfather," He called out helplessly as he burst into the old madam's room but he was shushed."Shh, keep it down son. She just fell asleep," Diego walked away from the bed."Grandfather, I told you not to bother about the payment. I'm offering services to my wife's grandmother free of charge. If you continue doing this, I'll feel like we are not family," Levi complained in a hush tone.Diego's eyes wrinkled with a smile and he shook his head. "The money is not from me. It's from her."Levi was puzzled. Huh?"You see, she regrets the fact she didn't witness Brooklyn tying the knot and she wasn't there to give you a wedding gift. That is her first gift to you."Levi went silent. Thirty million dollars just
Levi kept the property deed away and powered on the PC again.Putting away the astonishing thoughts of how he had just inherited a property worth hundreds of millions, he quickly navigated the system back to the mercenary webpage.Just as he logged into the web, a notification popped up.[Sabre sent a request to be your comrade]He chuckled at the use of the word 'comrade' instead of friend and clicked on the notification. That was when he saw that others including Hades, Valkyrie and so on had sent requests too.As soon as he accepted all the requests, Sabre sent a message with a link attached to it.[Blackwing, I'm inviting you to a mission]Levi arched a brow. He didn't know one could be invited to a mission. He clicked on the link and was redirected to a webpage.The mission was only just posted a few minutes ago and didn't have many members who already indicated interest.[Infiltrate a well guarded rival company to retrieve some data][Reward: 1000$][Three spots taken. Four left
Later that evening as Levi left the old madam's room, he bumped into Luis. His path was obstructed as it was clear Luis didn't want to be the one to back away.Levi sighed inwardly and stepped aside. He didn't want to get involved with this man or his wife but somehow, they keep getting entangled.Luis didn't appreciate this sense of respect instead he turned to Levi with a grim expression and asked,"Are you always this idle?""Huh?" Levi was puzzled. This was the second time Luis will try to interact with him since Brooklyn brought him into the house."I mean, you never leave this house. You are always here. Everywhere... Do you really have nothing better to do?" Luis' lips curled up with repugnance.He tried to investigate Levi's background but couldn't find anything.It was clear someone powerful was keeping away his bio details from being known and the only person he can suspect is Brooklyn.But why? He really couldn't understand why his daughter would stoop so low to be with a m
[Now that everyone is present, I'll begin. I hope everyone will pay rapt attention to my messages and ensure the connection from your side is strong so as not to be logged out during the discussion]Levi could feel the anxiousness of the other party as he sat back and watched the screen.No wonder the time duration was short. It's quite an urgent mission.[Below are the documents I have attached as proof to what I am saying. The rival company stole some important data of our company's software which is yet to be released][Yes, we could easily report for plagiarism to the appropriate authority but we'll have to gather up a lot of evidence to prove our claim and the process could take a lot of time][Which is what we don't have as our software is due to go public in a few days. If we postpone the date now, it will incur a lot of losses on our side likewise if the rival company releases theirs before ours]Levi stroked his chin and opened the can of energy drink he had placed on the des
"Like how?" Levi stood, strapped her designer bag on his shoulder, stroked his hair and gave her a lopsided grin."Haha!" Brooklyn burst into laughter at how weird he looked, standing with her bag."Hey, it's not funny," Levi faked a frown and returned her bag.Brooklyn's laugh ceased but she bent to hide her smile as she undid her heels.As if remembering something, she looked up and asked him, "Levi, are you familiar with Mr Russell?"Levi's frown turned real as he tried to recollect the name. It felt like he had heard it before but he couldn't remember where so he shook his head."No. Why do you ask?""He was the host of the banquet I attended that other time. Larry was also present and I ended up drunk. Remember?""Oh, what about him?""You know, you never really told me what happened to Larry," Brooklyn stood. After removing her heels, she was inches shorter than Levi and had to look up at him."Why did he end up at the hospital battered? How did his friends end up at the city cen
"Welcome," The security guards at CJ Inc's entrance seemed friendly and welcoming. Hades was the only one that bothered to answer them with a carefree smile.Levi held up the tool box in his hand and adjusted his cap so it was covering his face.The security gave him weird gazes as they used a metal detector machine on all of them after checking their bodies manually. Levi was the last to get searched.A security guard felt the compartments of his uniform but found nothing then they used the metal detector on his body first before using it on the tool box he was carrying.Bee-hop!The security guard's eyes turned cold when the metal detector machine beeped continuously, detecting something in the tool box."What have you got there?"The group tried not to give themselves away as they were filled with anxiousness.Only Levi was calm and raised his head to meet the eyes of the security guard.The latter seemed taken aback by the rare color of his electrifying eyes."Just a bunch of tools
Bang!Levi's eyes darted to the door when he heard the loud 'bang' sound again. Valkyrie looked a little bit anxious as she stared at the system.[80%... 85%....90%]As the files continued transferring, they could hear loud footsteps headed in that direction."Copied," Valkyrie announced just as some guards got to the door.Bang!They knocked and twisted the door knob but the door didn't give way. "What are you doing, you fools? Break in! Spare no one!" Levi could hear an angry yell just as some of the guards began to ram into the door.But the door was metallic and didn't easily budge so they had to call for backup to bring tools which would enable them to pry the door open."Oh no, we are trapped," Valkyrie murmured with a dark look as she removed the chip and destroyed the system she had copied the data from."What do we do now?" She was panicking.Levi looked around the room trying to think fast.Cling!The sound of metals clashing with metals caused them to cringe. The guards had
