Hannah could feel she had caught her son's attraction so she hurriedly continued, "Let's meet up at Nirvana cafe tomorrow. I'll be free by four pm."Levi knew the cafe as it was quite popular in the city. Even though it was merely a cafe, their service was high-end thus leading to expensive prices.Levi's lips curved coldly. His mother was so rich now she wouldn't even bat an eye spending thousands on just a cup of coffee."Mhmm," He gave her a curt response and proceeded to end the call when she called out again,"Levi."His fingers paused; his expression becoming colder. However, although she clearly wanted to say something, she didn't."Never mind."A tut-tut sound followed as she disconnected the call. Levi put the phone away indifferently and turned to the PC.Valkyrie had once again left a string of messages for me.[Yo, did you go offline again?][Nevertheless, I sent several messages earlier to let you know about contests on Dark Web you could have earned from which you missed]
Ding!Levi leaned in to check the PC screen. His eyes glazed over the latest messages and he almost stepped away until he saw the last message.[I've gone through the document and done my research. Our mission is relatively easy however we have to go through a territory that is dominated by Julius]Levi's brows knitted at Eclipse's words. Who is Julius?He sat on the swiveling chair again and his fingers typed swiftly on the keyboard.[Who is Julius?]His message entered with the laments and cries of others. However, his message certainly caused an outcry.[Bro, which planet are you from?]- Muse added a confused emoji.[You really don't know Julius?][Omg, I wonder what that kingpin would say if he finds out a Merc has never heard of him. Hehe!]None of them ventured to explain but Sabre did; beating Eclipse to it.[You must have heard of Dominique right?]Levi's brows creased even more. Who is Dominique? Receiving no response from him, Sabre sent another message which made her seem l
"Where is it?" Levi asked impatiently when Hannah didn't say a word."Why don't you take a seat first?" After saying these words, she trembled slightly seeing the distant look on Levi's face.She took a deep breath to compose her emotions and turned to her handbag.Just then, a waiter came over. He dropped two plates of banana bread and milkshakes.Levi's eyes stared down at the table then darted back to Hannah only to catch her staring at him."I remember you used to enjoy my banana bread very much so I ordered some. Have a taste," she explained awkwardly.Levi's gaze grew colder. "Mrs," Hannah noted painfully how he didn't even address her as mother. "That was years ago. People change.""Besides, I'm only here to get what you mentioned over the phone. After today, you must stay away from me and my father."His voice wasn't loud but it caught the attention of the people at the tables nearby. As they murmured and pointed, Hannah was filled with shame and regret.But she hid it pretty
They could sense Levi was low-spirited so they didn't bother him or tease him.They collected the artifact which was wrapped tightly and quite large in a square shape leaving them to guess it was a painting.The mission went quite smoothly till they got to Julius' territory. Hades switched off the car's engine."From here, we have to go by foot. They will never allow unauthorized vehicles inside."Everyone got out and Levi remembered his role because he reached out to help Sabre out.However, he didn't notice how she flushed or the looks others directed at him."This is quite heavy," Muse grumbled as he lifted the artifact with a comrade.Eclipse patted him as they walked forward. "It's only a matter of time till we deliver it. We just have to get to the other end and give the artifact to the owners."They were stopped by guards at the entrance. Hades quickly presented the fake IDs Muse had arranged since he was more familiar with how the place worked.The guards observed the IDs and
"You..." The gang leader couldn't complete his sentence as he coughed. Others were alarmed to see him coughing out blood.Their leader was one of the best fighters they had and he had a stature that easily towered over most people.How could this man with a scrawny stature can do this with just a strike?"We can do this the easy way," Levi continued in a calm voice. "You let us pass and we leave never to return to your territory or we do this the hard way."Gulp!One could feel the tensed feelings from the gangsters. They were after all just a local gang and had never been against a formidable opponent like this.However, one had the nerve to ask, "What's the hard way?""Simple," Levi's lips curled up in a smile although it was hidden beneath his mask. "We deal with you and you end up begging us to leave."Gulp!"You fools!" The gang leader yelled when he saw they were hesitating. "He did this to me and you still want to let him go. None of them must step out of this place alive!""You
Switch!Levi stopped at the doorway as the lights flickered on. He didn't expect to meet Brooklyn awake with a bundle of files she had brought home on the bed stand beside her.She had been chatting with someone on the phone when he walked in."You are back," She smiled as she sat up.Her eyes slowly scrutinized his appearance, brows arching to see the all-black outfit he was wearing. Thankfully, he had removed his mask or it would have been difficult to explain."Hmnh hmm," He sat by the edge of the bed and peeled off his shoes.Brooklyn could sense something was wrong from his low tone so she moved closer and wrapped her hands around his waist.Her hair brushing against his neck as she asked, "What's wrong? Rough day at work."Actually she was a bit curious at what he did but she didn't want to pry his boundaries. When he was willing to tell her, she would be ready to listen to him."I..." Levi trailed off as he removed her arms slowly. He was sweaty right now and didn't want it to r
Seeing the stunned look on her face, Levi arched a brow. He gestured to her again and said, "Where is the chain?"Perhaps she didn't understand him the first time."Uhmm actually I didn't have my breakfast before coming here. Shall we order something first?" She smiled nervously.Levi didn't think too much of it and motioned for her to order something.When she passed the menu to him, his eyes glazed over a section where banana bread was written and they darkened."Just order for yourself."Sabre frowned and returned the menu to the waiter. She felt a bit irritated at how impatient he looked and didn't want to seem like the one delaying him.So she reached into her bag and brought out the chain. She stretched it to Levi who collected it without hesitation."It's mine," He nodded as he put it away.The waiter returned with her order and as she set the table, Levi stood, dropping a wad of dollar notes.It was obviously more than the price of what Sabre had ordered because the waiter was
"Boss lady, what about Tyson's? I do feel their proposal was quite on point and profitable so—" The director laying out his complaint to Brooklyn suddenly paused as the conference doors swung open.This was because of the men passing by who also came to a stop when the doors opened.They were more focused on the unfamiliar one with a paper bag in his hand.Levi looked at the group of people behind Brooklyn with a thoughtful look. They seemed to have just had a meeting and were apparently unsatisfied with the outcome of the meeting.Besides, if he heard clearly, the director just mentioned Tyson. Is it the same Micheal Tyson he knows?Does Brooklyn have any business transactions with that man? His eyes darkened slightly at this thought.That was the same man Zoe had cheated on him with and he wouldn't want Brooklyn to have any form of association with him."You are here?" Brooklyn's expression showed that she was both pleased and surprised to see him.The director who was about to ques
