"Sir, the editors told me you ordered them to stop the publication of JK's news? Why is that sir?"An upset Levi Lloyd is in front of his immediate superior, Mr Billy, trying to keep his anger in check."That is an order from above not mine," Mr Billy, a stout and bald man who is wearing a wig to cover up his embarrassing secret, strokes his hair while giving Levi a condescending look.Levi is confused and quickly reminds him, "Sir, JK has secretly been releasing toxic oils into the neighborhood river for a long time which has caused health problems for the residents.""I finally found evidence to prove they have been bribing officials to suppress the news. Why would the higher authorities stop the public from learning the truth they deserve?""Who are you to question the higher authorities?" Billy slapped his fat palm on the desk."Levi, you are just a junior reporter who would have been cast out long ago if it weren't for me keeping you by my side. Why do you insist on meddling with

"But there are no foodstuff supplies at home again and you aren't worth starving for. Get some groceries and come home to prepare dinner."Levi facepalmed; this is how she is. Nagging him endlessly while shamelessly living off his money.The only reason why Levi keeps up with her behavior is because of his wife, Zoey.He and Zoey were college sweethearts who got married as soon as they graduated.His wife is now a successful CFO and her parents, especially Grace who thinks he isn't good enough for their daughter, are not shy to express it.Levi thought back to his pitiful bank balance which had zero cents in it and scratched his hair in contemplation. He suddenly remembers the ring on his finger that he could pawn for money."Have you gone deaf?" Grace bellowed through the phone."I heard you. I'll —"Levi was once again interrupted. His father-in-law's voice came up the phone,"Boy, when you get those groceries, don't forget to pick up a brand or two of whiskey. I've run out of the la
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 003: Cheating Without Remorse
His usually modest and shy wife was held on the bed, being drilled like an animal. The man on top of her pounded away and her cries of pleasure grew louder."Aah, yes! Fuck yes, I'm going to come!" She moaned. The unknown man on her groaned to show he was also on the edge.Pow!Rage clouded Levi's sight. He charged into the room and punched the man so hard in the face that it disengaged their sexual intimacy."You fucking bastard!"In the process he even got the wild seeds spilling from the man on his body. He was so enraged and disgusted that he pounced on him."Who the hell are you?" The man managed to speak while protecting his face from Levi's punches."Levi! Get off him! You rascal! How dare you! Do you know who Micheal is?" Zoey had found a cloth to cover her nakedness and tried to pull Levi off.She was both frustrated and angry that this lowlife interrupted her when she was just on the climax and even had the nerve to hit Micheal.Micheal could buy him and his generation!Pah!
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 004: Assailed
Thinking of this, Levi remembered recently he realized the neighbors would mumble whenever he passed by with Zoey.Everyone else saw that he was being cuckolded but he was too blind! "It's nothing. It's late. You should go to bed."Before she could say anything, he already walked off. "Uncle Levi—" She called but he was far from reach.She pouted and bit her lips. She has a huge crush on Levi and has always wanted to get noticed by him but he was too focused on that cheap wife of his.She really wanted to tell him so many times how his wife brought different men home but was scared he might not believe her or worse still resent her so just like the other neighbors, she kept quiet.But Levi was standing on the walkway just now with bags of groceries. He must have had a huge fight with that bitch and this was her chance but she lost it.She stomped her feet in annoyance and walked away. ****Levi walked on the streets aimlessly with the bags of groceries in his hands. He couldn't return
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 005: Not So Worthless
Levi looked at his hand in excitement. The ring really possesses some supernatural abilities.He knows it's absurd to think of something like this but this is the only plausible explanation he can give for this situation.Pow!He dodged another hit and attacked, hitting not just one thug this time but two together."You bastard! How dare you hit our captain?" The thugs yelled in anger when they saw their colleagues falling down one after the other.They still rushed towards Levi. He took them down in a minute."Bang!""Aah!""Ow!""Crack!"Cries of pain filled the air as the men collapsed to their knees. They surrounded Levi who stood tall and exuded a superior aura.The men who had originally come to get the woman hesitated to attack. Didn't these foolish thugs say they beat up Levi badly earlier and he wouldn't last a minute?Why is it that they are the ones writhing on the floor in pain within a minute?"I'm waiting," Levi summoned them with a flick of his fingers. He looked bored a
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 006: Misunderstanding
The chauffeur left the car just then to go and have a word with the cops. Levi looked at Brooklyn's face.Now that she wasn't all flustered like earlier, she actually looked like a serene beauty with maybe a bit of haughtiness in her. Well, she's one of the Hernandez.Brooklyn's eyes narrowed when she saw him staring at her. This stranger isn't having weird thoughts, is he?But Levi shook his head, "I'm Levi. You don't have to worry about repaying me. I just did what I thought would help."Brooklyn was confused. Men would kill to have her and yet she was here asking this stranger what he wanted in repayment of his help but he's insisting on nothing.Doesn't he know who she is?"Young mistress," The chauffeur suddenly returned with a worried look."I don't know how your father found out but he seems to have gotten some news that you stood Larry up. He is enraged and demands you return home at this instant."Levi watched as Brooklyn's face darkened with anger. He wonders who this Larry i
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 007: Seize Him!
Everyone including Levi is stunned. He tried to pull his hand away but Brooklyn whispered, "Please, Mr Levi, you said you will help me."Levi was annoyed. He agreed to help rescue her grandmother, not pretend to be her boyfriend or fiance or whatever!"Brooklyn!" Her father was livid. "How dare you bring a wild man into my home?"He turned to the old man beside him. "Father, can you see your obedient granddaughter?""Grandfather," Brooklyn walked to the old man and pulled Levi along. Her grandfather wasn't as furious as her father but he didn't look pleased either.He gave Levi a cold glance. "Which family son is he?"Before Brooklyn could respond, a maid rushed into the sitting room with a pale face."The old madam is having a seizure again and the doctors think she won't survive this time."Grandfather Hernandez seemed to have aged hearing this. Everyone momentarily rushed to the master bedroom forgetting all about the drama just now.On the way, Levi asked Brooklyn, "Miss, what were

"Cough!""Cough!""Father!""Grandfather!"They panicked when grandfather Hernandez began to choke. Yolanda held his hand and together with Hector led him to sit on a chair while Luis faced his daughter who was still standing in front of the wild man without bulging.Useless child! Her own grandfather was choking but she chose to shield the unknown man instead.He was too blinded with rage to see the worry in her eyes even though she stood calmly in front of Levi without reacting."Doctor, if this wasn't the first time we are meeting, I would have thought you had something against me," Levi was taller than Brooklyn so he easily towered over her.It was amusing at first to have her protect him against her family but he didn't need it."You should watch your words before you speak. What if you cause one more person to be confined to a sick bed with your wrong information?"Davis' face twisted with annoyance at Levi's words. He snorted, "You are not qualified to speak to me. Remember your

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

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

"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

"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

"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
