''Elvie, is everything set over there?'' Antonio asked, passing through the main entrance of the hideout.''Yes, I've gained full access to his security network, but I can hijack it entirely, if not I'll alert his IT guys.'' Elvie's voice sounded from the phone.''Good.'' Antonio nodded, stepping foot into the open space.Starless night descended on the large space surrounding the hideout, and within the endless fold of darkness, eleven armoured vans stood erect, ready to charge into the frontline and wreak havoc.Kateb and his men stood outside, each saluting Antonio as he entered their midst.Double-checking everything once more, Antonio hopped into the van in the middle, and the others also roared to life.The vans sped into the distance, each taking a different route as they blended with the shadows of the desolate city.As for Maria, she had left through another van, after making her look like a walking corpse that would soon fall apart.With the contact lens and other biological
Several hours before Maria's arrival. Omar had received a text from Antonio, informing him that he needed to share important information with him urgently.In the text, Antonio said that the information was related to his last mission which got him badly injured as most of his men suffered fatal injuries, while some were even wasted.This had caught the attention of Omar instantly, his heart racing as he wondered what sort of mission would cause a behemoth like the Lorenzo to suffer such great loss.Not only that, but he was also implicated in the matter…Back to the present, all Omar wanted now was for Antonio to get him the information as fast as he could.The same way he wanted power was how he cherished his life.'This brat, what did he get himself into…' Omar frowned, pacing across the room, as he glued his eyes on the large projection that came from the control room.On the large screen, it showed the image of Antonio entering his mansion from the outer perimeters.As the suppose
''What's this?'' the IT expert furrowed his eyes…''What is what?'' the man next to him asked, removing his headset.''There's a problem with the code.'' The young fellow answered, pointing at a particular set of codes on the screen.''This feels like…': The man knitted his eyes.''A bug!'' Another person completed, throwing the control room into an eerie silence.''Damn, ring the alarm immediately'' The man next to the gentleman who discovered the bug yelled, jolting the others out of their reverie.Dong!Dong!Dong!The obstinate young man pressed a red button, as it activated an alarm that rang across the mansion.Bang!Omar hit the table as the news got to him that his security system had been breached.He knew it was no other person but Antonio who would do this, and the mere thought of it made him feel stupid and disgusted.''Dammit!'' He threw the cup of tea in his hands, slamming it against the floor as it shattered into pieces.'I was fooled.''I was fooled.'He repeated twice
Unfortunately I'm not getting better and I could only release another unedited stockpile. I'm really sorry please.Boom!A mini explosion rang outz throwing a dozens of Omar's men into the ajr their bodies torn apart.''Advance.'' Antonio's voice echoee in the air as he and his men dashed forward.They were currently about two miles away from Omar's mansion, as that waas the closest distance to avoid Omar's scrutiny.Hende they had to dash forward in their Armoured vans before Omar escaped or turned the situation in his favour. After all he had the home ground advantage.Inside Omar's mansion, Just as five guards entered Maria's vision, making her chest tightened.Several gunshots in ang from the pther directions, and she could only watch with raises brows as the five guards collapsed on the floor, their lifeless bodies magled and soaked in blood.From behind and the nezt corner in her right, six men in long Kurta came out, pointing thwir guns at each otherz before nodding in acknowle
Hey readers, I'm getting better now, but I have to write more than 30 chapters before the month ends to meet up to deadlines. I'll upload the unedited versions, and then I'll take my time to edit them, latest next weekend! I'm really sorry.''You can explain what?'' Maria's voice echoed in the air.''Thar you killed my husband, my child, and even sold me to a woman trafficker?'' she questioned, her voice filked wuth torrent lf emotions.''See Maria stop that bokb, I really can explain, it's not what it looks like, just give me the chance to explain.:' Omar crazed voice rang in the air, as his guards also wore wary looks, ready to gun down Maria.Yet, they all knew that it was pf mo use, sinfe they couldn't stop the bomb regardless.The best they could do was to convince Maria and see if she had a way to stop it by entering the termination passcode.Hence, everything depended on how well Onar could persuade her.''I swear to the living God that I served, it's not what it looks like Mar
Boom!!!An explosion reverbated across the entire mansion, leveling everything in its wake.All things present in the mansion and the ezternal permittees came to a stop, frozen in.the chaotid moment.Half of the Mansion collapsed, becoming debris, as the inner quarters was rendered into dust.Maria was no more, as she sacrificed herself to obliterate her enemies, or so it seemed...Until her last moment, she gave zero concern about this cruel world, letting her thought wonder in an endless maze.Both Omar's men and Antonio's ken, alongside the team from king khaled halted the crossfires as they all looked in the same direction.The great mansion that held one of the most powerful men in Middle East was now a shadow of its past.''What do you think you're doing, continue fire.'' Kateb yelled, jolting the others from their reverie, as each gunman cocked his weapon, aiming at the enemy once more.''Protect his excellency.''One of Omar's men screamed, but the chain of command had already
''W-what is a car doing here?'' Omar frowned feeling a gravesense pf foreboding crawling over him.Constricting his eyes, he pressed a button in the car so it could avoid the strange car parked in the niddle of road.However, before the car could even yield to th new command, a missile that travelled at suoer sonic speed came from nowhere, hitting thehis front wheel.Bang!Omar's vision blurred as he got disoriented die to the sudden collision. As for the car, the missile upturned the car, flinging it several metres of the road leaving metal craps scattered on the road.The armoured speed car, having lost one of its wheels came to am abrupt stop, the top now skidding on the rough edges of the road before colliding with a small hill.''Done, Boss.'' A voice cale out from the radio receiver in Antonio's hand.He sat in his black van, watching ss everything unfold before him.He had suspected that Omar, a cockroach hard to kill woultry to pull a trick at the last moment to escape Maria's
''Are you going to open your eyes or you'll continue to pretend that you're still unconscious.'' Antonio's voice stabbed Omar's in the bead, making him wince.Squinting his eyes, Omar's face twitched, contorting to a deep frown as he eventually opened his eyes.His eyes rolled as they absorbed the new surroundings, wondering where he was.It jad already beengew hours simce Antonio brought him, allowing the medics to proceed with his first aid treatment. And now it was time for questioning.''Whete am I?'' Omar hoarse voice echoed in the dimly lit surroundings.''Where you are is of no concern to you, because today, I'm the questionnaire, and the judge.'' Antonio replied in a flat tone.Upon hearing this, Omar's stomach churnef as he couldn't help but feel a sense of dread wash over him, raising his heart.''See young friend, I don't know what you've heard, about I promise you I can explain… I'm beings honest, I can explain, just give me the chance to.'' Omar pleaded, his voice soundin
Antonio watched as Alessio and Jasmin got tossed out of his mansion like dirty rags. His eyes, hiding dozens of thoughts that spammed his head.''Hey, Elvie.'' He spoke into the phone as he headed back to his bedroom.''Baby.'' Elvie's high-pitched voice that beamed with excitement rang in Antonio's ears.However, his expression didn't drop, his face remained placid, already accustomed to Elvie's crazed behaviour.''What do you think of parking some billions of dollars in one sweep,'' Antonio smirked, an evil grin plastered on his face.''I can't see you right now, but I can guess the fiendish look on your face, he-he.'' Elvie giggled. ''So tell me, who got in your black book this time around?'' ''Long clients who had stayed in my black book for way too long, and now need to be dealt with.'' Antonio shrugged, sipping from the cup of espresso in his left hand.''Uh, you mean…''''Yes.'' Antonio nodded.''Everything is yours, not interested in what I've left in the past anyway.'' He em
''Sir, some people are seeking your audience outside.'' A maidservant in a brown gown and a furry coat announced, staying outside Antonio's bedroom.''Who are they?'' Antonio asked, his body curled up in bed.''One Mr and Mrs Lopez.'' The maidservant answered with a bow, even though Antonio couldn't see her from the inside.''Lopez?'' Antonio knitted his eyes, his face momentarily flaming up before bursting into soft laughter.''Fine…'' He twisted his waist, still on the bed. ''Let them wait at the courtyard.''''Yes sir.'' The maidservant replied with another bow, before walking away.Inside the bedroom, Antonio revealed a mischievous grin, smacking his lips in amusement.'So Alessio and Jasmin are finally here?' He thought, smirking.A few days had passed since he contacted Adams. A few days of peace and silence when he didn't have to bother about anything urgently. He knew that Alessio and Jasmin at some point would come back to him, and he had been staying indoors in patience, wa
The warm incandescence that shone from the chandelier filled the large room with colours, a stark contrast to the gloomy greyish atmosphere outside.Jasmine paced from one corner of the room to another, her fists clenched, as she let out low curses occasionally.''They still won't explain the reason for their abrupt contract termination, huh?'' she shrieked.''Calm down woman,'' Alessio muttered from one corner of the room, as his fingers swiped across the keyboards.Their business had been flourishing as they expected, until their contractors and major suppliers sent an email this morning, informing them on how they'd not be able to continue business with them.Yet, all their efforts to get back to them have all proven useless. ''What do you think will happen?'' Jasmin asked, her fingers clutching her black bodycon.''I have no idea.'' Alessio furrowed his eyes, his gaze still on the screen.''D-do you think we should sell the business, and you know…'' Jasmin murmured, dragging her
The hot water from the shower drizzled down Antonio's body, relaxing every timy muscles in his body.Turning off the knob, he grabbed his towel, leaving the bathroom which exploded quth steam as he entered the master room.He had returned to his mansion here in the States, and he couldn't wait to have some cozy moments to himself.'What a hectic life are we living.' Anyone sighed, changing into a thick,white pyjamas before sinking into the bed.Right now, all he wanted was sleep, as every part of him screamed fatigue, and since he didn't haveany matter lf urgency at tge moment, he might as well sleep like a free man.'Um, well… in a real sense I'm a free man.' Antonolet out a wry smile,his eye lids already gumming to each other.However, in the middle of his grogginess, his phone buzzed which made him hiss.'Who again?' He murmured with his eyes closed while crawling on the bed.Repeating whether he should check the phone now or just drop everything and have a peaceful sleep, Antonio
The call ended with a beep as Antonio slid the phone back to his pocket.Phew.He sighed, his head tilted to the right as his eyes gazed through the window lost in thought.Silence enveloped him and the driver, the occasional horns, breaking the solemm mood.Antonio had not dropped his phone for more than a few seconds when Elvie's call came in, making him narrow his eyes, knowing that he wasn't expecting her call today.''Baby.'' Her shrikked voice ramg in his ears, making him contort his face.''What is it?'' he asked, ignoring Elvie's antics.''Hmph… can't I call because I miss your voice?'' she asked, making a fake angry tone.''Elvie what is it.'' Antonio snapped, his forehead creasing in annoyance.The conversation with Diego had already made him on edge, and her antics just felt overly jarring right now.Realizing that Antonio was probably not in the mood for some random chit chat, Elvie also fell silent, letting out a soft aigh before proceeding to speak.''I detected a malwar
The beautiful snow that came with sunset fell on Antonio's boots, and grey tuxedo, as he stepped outside of the hideout.His eyes looked into the distance, lost in reverie, as he recalled some lf the things that teanspired these past few days.As he walked towards his car, the man that came with him tagged along, opening the umbrella to shield Antonio but the kattwr waved his hand, gesturing for him to not bother.Tap!Tap!Antonio's boots sank in the snow filked ground, allowing the cold breeze to hraze his skin, alomg with the dryness of winter that rushed through his nostrils.Nearing a few inches away from the black limousine, the back door opened automatically, allowing him to enter, sinking into the back seat.Closing the door, his bodyguard entered the front seat, igniting the cat as he pressed the accelerator, speeding off the snowy road.Ring!Antonio's personal line buzzed,making him narrow his eyes, knowing that only few people had access to it.Glancing at the screen, the
''Argh.'' Agent Mike screamed, as an electric current zap through his body.His two hands were tied to a long metal bar, leaving his body dangling in mid air.Splash!The man in a bear mask drenched him in cold water as he proceeded to turn on the switch, making Alex let out an agonizing rooar.''I'd love to see how much you can continue with this stubbornness of yours.'' An icy, hoarse voice echoed in the dark room.''Who sent you here?'' The man in a bear mask asked one more time.However…Twat.Agent mike spat on his face, revealing a mocking grin.''Go rot in ya mama ass.'' He laughed, choking on his own blood and saliva.Feeling the spit land on his mask, the man gritted his teeth, as he suppressed the burning emotion that threatened to erupt out of him.Bam!The man's fist landed on Agent Mike's face, pushing it to the left, and before his head could regain its balance, he used his left fist to send the head back to its initial position.''Tsk.'' The man clicked his tongue, his
A black submarine rose from underneath the sea, as it floated to the shore coming to a stop.A few moments later, Antonio alighted from the submarine, his feet touching the soft, cold, sand at the beach.Drawing a long breath, his gaze swept across the isolated island where he hid his brother to receive his treatment.He had not been in touch that much since the network here required special rpiter to gain access, amd it wasn't always available.Hence, after he left the other island where he was supposed to meet the lawyer amd Gaspar, he had rushed here, the safest and nearest abode in his disposal.Yet, before his arrival, he received a mews that left his mouth agape.Through the special communication network that he exchange with Leonardo, he received news that one of his base im the States had been attacked.As for who the attackers were amd the reason for their actions, he had yet to find out.''Boss, you're welcome.'' His men greeted him, all of them bowling in a full swing motio
''Careful.'' Raymond muttered, his eyes squinting in doubts.''Well… I guess it's safe.'' Jexter shrugged, ignoring Raymond's warning.Creak!Jexter tried to turn the knob on the safe, but it only turned in a 360⁰ without unlocking the mini door attached to the safe.''Phew, just as expected.'' Jexter murmured, his eyes not revealing any emotions under the black mask.Pulling out a flat device from his pocket, he pressed the button, seeing the device come to live as it shone a red light from the base.Positioning the red light to the door knobof the safe, Jexter waited for the device to finish scanning the encryption on the knob, before sending it to his boss, the man in SBI.Beep! Beep!The device kept beeping as it continued reading the encrypted codes, sending it back as electronic signals to the IT experts under the nose of the operation overseer.As they stood in silence, the upper floor rumbled, drifting thwir attention upward, but everything soon became quiet.''Time is agains
