As the effects of the sleeping darts began to wear off, Zaco and his men slowly stirred, groggy and disoriented. The night air carried the residue of tension as they regained consciousness. Zaco looked around and saw that the shipment was gone. " Damn it!" he said silently, murmuring some words.Zaco, fueled by both anger and determination, rose first. His eyes scanned the surroundings, realizing the betrayal that had unfolded. The quiet darkness around him only intensified his rage. In a swift motion, he gestured to his men to get up, and they all stumbled to their feet. Most of Zaco's men were still drowsy from the sleeping Draft, Eddy had zapped them with.Dino, still in a deep slumber, was dragged by Zaco towards Zico's penthouse. Zaco's grip on Dino's arm was tight, a silent threat that spoke of impending consequences.The journey through the silent corridors was filled with a heavy atmosphere. Zaco's mind was ablaze with fury, and Dino, once a trusted ally, was now a liability.
Max, Darius, and Eddy arrived back at Max's mansion, a mixture of relief and accomplishment washing over them. The cargo they secured proved to be a game-changer, and the message from the mysterious system left them intrigued yet satisfied. As they stepped into the familiar surroundings, Max couldn't contain his excitement. Amy and Irrisia came out of the house at the sound of the car entering the mansion. " Where were you guys? You made us worried." Irrisia said hugging Max and kissing him. " There is nothing to worry about, we boys just went out to have a little bit of fun," Darius told Irrisia. They had planned to have their lips sealed and not tell them anything. Irrisia might get scared of revenge and it wasn't good for her at the moment."Let's celebrate this victory!" Max exclaimed, a wide grin on his face. Amy looked at Darius and she knew something was going on. But since they didn't say much, she kept quiet. Max immediately decided to throw a party, inviting all his coworker
The music pulsated through the air as Max hurriedly followed Irrisia into the main building. The dimly lit corridor echoed with the fading sounds of the party, now drowned by the urgency in Max's footsteps. Irrisia continued walking briskly, her emotions a tumultuous mix of hurt and betrayal. She heard Max call her name several times but she refused to wait."Wait, Irrisia, please! Let me explain," Max pleaded, trying to catch up with her. He could see the hurt in her eyes, and the weight of the night's revelations bore down on him.Irrisia halted, her back still turned to Max. "Explain? How could you keep such secrets from me, Max? I thought we were a team," she said, her voice tinged with disappointment.Max took a deep breath, regret and sincerity in his eyes. "Iris, I had to protect you. The less you knew, the safer you were. I never meant to hurt you. Everything I did was to keep you safe."Irrisia turned to face Max, her eyes searching for truth. "Safe? Max, secrets don't make m
Zico's presence sent a shiver through the corridor as Max and his crew faced the unexpected revelation. The air grew tense, the silence broken only by the distant echo of the fading party music.Max stepped forward, his gaze unwavering despite the newfound knowledge. "Zico, or should I say Zaco's twin? We know your secret. Your game ends here. So who should we say cursed the accident of my girlfriend? I am finding this amusing" Max said, as he let out a wide grin.Zico chuckled, the sound muffled by his mask. "Ah, the truth finally comes to light. But knowing is one thing, stopping us is another. You're too late to change the course of events." he removed his mask.Darius clenched his fists, his anger palpable. "What are you planning, Zico? Why go to such lengths, hiding behind a mask and manipulating everyone?"Zico paced slowly, his gaze flickering over Max's crew. "The world is full of chaos, Darius. I seek order and control. Our plan involves reshaping the balance of power, and sa
Dino was happy to be back on Max's crew. He would always make sure he had their back no matter what, just to get Max's attention. One day Max sat down to relax when Dino drove into the compound. Irrisia wasn't home as she had gone to the convenience store to get groceries. " Hey buddy," Dino said getting out of his car. " Dino, I wasn't expecting you today. Besides, we are on the weekend. Why are you here? Is anything the problem?" Max asked, looking at Dino under the shade he was seated. Dino approached him with a smile " I was feeling bored and I just wanted to have some fun. Why don't we head out? We can just go clubbing." Dino said looking at Max.Max looked at his watch " Clubbing? At this time? Besides, I can't head out now. Irrisia is not home and it won't be polite without dropping her a message that I would be heading out. Why don't we wait till she is back, she might even want to tag along with us." Max replied offering Dino a seat. " Well, the more the merrier."The two ch
" Who is Tiffany?" Dino asked, looking at both men. " You will meet her soonest," Zico replied, and just as they were about parting ways they heard the sound of a car driving into the compound. Zaco peeped and smiled, " Speaking of the devil." he said with a smile on his face.Tiffany stepped out of the sleek black car, her entrance marked by an air of confidence. Zaco's plan to use her as bait for Max was unfolding. As she approached the group, it was evident that her facial surgery had been a success. The transformation was striking—her features were refined, and her beauty radiated a newfound allure.Zico couldn't help but smirk at the sight of Tiffany's changed appearance. "Well, well, Zaco. Looks like our little investment paid off quite handsomely," he remarked, sipping his drink.Dino, who was still unaware of the plan, marveled at Tiffany's beauty. "Who's this enchanting lady?" he asked, clearly captivated by her presence.Zaco introduced her with a subtle grin, "Dino, meet Ti
Tiffany looked at Max and frowned " I thought you would be glad to see me. This is a mere coincidence. It was not as if I planned to meet with you right here. Besides, we are adults now. I thought we had passed all these grudges." Tiffany replied, taking her seat beside him. Zico and Zaco were on the lookout, trying to figure out what was going on between the two. " Well, I have moved past that and all are in the past but I can't shake off the feeling that you are not telling me the truth. What do you need from me? We ain't a thing anymore. So, what's going on?" Max asked.Tiffany looked at Max and smiled, "Well, I do want a lot from you. I would want us to go back to the way things were before, I loved you and I want us to be back together." Tiffany said softly, placing her hands on Max's shoulder. All this while Max kept quiet following her gaze as she moved back and forth trying to show off her beauty. " I think you should reconsider having me as a girlfriend rather than your rob
" Who the hell is Scarlett?" Dino asked, " Well, in my own opinion, I believe we should give Tiffany a chance. And if it doesn't pan out, we can then use Scarlett or whatever you just called her name." Zico replied.Tiffany came out of her room looking astonished. " I wonder why Max isn't falling for this?" Zaco smiled dragging Tiffany to his lap and kissing her gently." He is just playing hard to get. Am sure when we meet once again we will have a lot to talk about." Tiffany replied, kissing Zaco intensively. " You two should get a room," Dino said walking out of the house while Zico followed behind. Tiffany gîggled as both men left the house for the two lover birds. **********Max went over to see Darius and discuss some issues with him, on his way his phone rang and he saw an alert of the previous task given to him by the system. He was used to it but a sign of happiness showed on his face. It was more money for him. Max got to Darius gym and both men greeted. " How is business g
