Chapter 093 Zeke had always been the kind of person that liked to think that drinking made him think clearer than ever. And with the truth being the most important thing, Zeke actually thought really well with little alcohol in him. Not too much, this has been discovered by Hammond and he had told Natalie, who had in turn told her then boyfriend. However, it was funny because Zeke kept forgetting the part of "little alcohol”, so he started off taking it little by little. His thinking would get faster, and his understanding would become really swift. This was like a miracle. The only problem was that, the more he took, the slower his understanding became. Zeke might have known this for a while, but he never chose to believe it. He kept watching the game as he was drinking, a glass of the finest bourbon in his hand. Zeke was still dressed in his suit from earlier on that day at work. He looked like a businessman who had come to whirl away time. The pe
Chapter 094 Zeke mostly nodded and kept on watching him. The head attendant tried to sweet talk him. In fact that was all he had done throughout the night. Trying to sweet talk him to spend more money. However, after a while of trying, the head attendant has figured something out. After a while of trying his best, he figured something out. It seemed like Zele was also a businessman. A good one at that. Though he had seen Zeke in the suit, however, a lot of people wore their suits to the casino regardless of what they did for work. However, Zeke was a real business man, and it seemed like he was really good at what he did. So, all the pleading and trying to convince Zeke to spend more money fell on deaf ears. But, after a while,the head attendant noticed something, Zeke would do what he wanted, he was slowly increasing the limits of his bets. And in the meantime, the bottle of champagne in his hand had almost been finished. When Zeke had started playi
Chapter 095 Sir, we would also not mind to keep on seeing you at the casino. Your presence surely brings a lot of light to the casino, and of course, you also get a lot of money from the casino.” Zeke was looking at the head attendant, surprised at what was happening. He understood why the head attendant looked really respectful. He understood what was going on. It was a familiar tactic he had used on several occasions as a businessman. You basically had to butter up a customer, and make them feel really special. At the end of the day, they would likely do what you wanted from them, as long as it was not too excessive. They wanted him to come back and spend a lot of money just like he had done that first day. Zeke however, did not bother. He knew for sure that the next time was going to come for sure, and of course it was going to be coming sooner or later. Zeke would soon be known by everyone in the casino and those who worked for it, and of course the own
Chapter 096 Two days later, when the information came in, he opened it up and started reading it. He was going to read it before calling the owner of the casino, just in case. It was just him being thorough. It was something that was normal for a good businessman. When he started reading it though, his eyes lit up. They were bulging, almost as if they wanted to jump out of his face. His face was a picture of excitement and disbelief. The man that was investigated seemed to be someone who was deeply related to Oscorp. They were going to need this man. He quickly stood up and ran to his boss's office. This was of utmost importance. His boss was Clement Argent, he was the first son of Maignan Argent and was a really hard working person. Even though he was the son of one of the most important persons in Oscorp, and even when he knew he did not need to work really hard, he still did. He was a young man that was really interested in business, just like his fa
Chapter 097 Everything that was said now, sounded so… cruel! But what could he do? His boss was a notorious man who was known for being wicked. He dared not say this out to his boss. Clement was notable for being really cruel and not easy to understand. He liked acting on a whim. He looked at his boss's face and saw him smiling. It was a smile that looked absolutely wicked. The young man shivered for Zeke. He suddenly felt a touch of pity for the man called Zeke. It did not seem like he would be escaping from the palms of Clement anytime soon based on this plan that has been made for him. He however did not dare show that look of pity on his face. His face just showed a look of someone who was not bothered by everything he was told. And this was the best thing to do. He knew what his boss could get. Clement was basically a terror to everyone that worked under him. Though he had been told about it, this was the first time he was going to be witnessing it l
Chapter 098 The casino owner decided to leave immediately. If he left now, he would be able to reach Oscorp Corporation before it was the closing time of the workers there. After finalizing everything with the head attendant, Andrew, he left. After half an hour or so, he got into Oscorp, and made his way over to his business partner's office. The casino owner had just asked for information on Zeke, whom he was still amazed at how the man could spend the amount of money he spent in the casino in a day. He did not want to harbor someone who would bring the police knocking on his door. Running a casino, even though legalized, was still considered as “shady business” by the police force. This was the reason he went to Oscorp the first time, and it was also the reason that had made him go back there right now. The building of Oscorp Corporation in Lagos was quite a really big one. Though it was not as big as the Krafth headquarters, it was one of the biggest ones in the city.
Chapter 099 The game had to be played in a way that the amount he was meant to win would be really high. This was meant to bait him into playing. He would not want to stop. If he was meant to win three times of the money he was going to bet, the casino owner had to make sure the money he was meant to win would be at least seven times instead of three. The only issue was that the games were going to be rigged against Zeke. He could not win any of these games. But how was Zeke to know, he could not. He would think he was playing a regular poker game. The opposite was going to be the case though.The plan was set in a way that Zeke would not be able to understand. Now, after winning for three days straight up. Zeke would have made at least three times more than the amount he had when he first started coming to the casino. This was meant to be a great confidence boost for Zeke. On the fourth day when the losing would start, Zeke would still be so sure of himself an
Chapter 100 In the meantime, while he was acting as their spy, Zeke would be given back his car, which he would use to go to his workplace everyday, but that would be all. Zeke would have to come back to the casino every night,where he would have to sleep as his house deeds would still be with them. That was the plan. The casino owner sat in silence. He was staring at the young man, who had an emotionless look on his face. “This is from higher up, way higher up, and everything must go according to the plan,” the young man said. “This is really serious, so you must not think of doing anything that would put your family in danger,” he threatened. The casino owner was also familiar with how things worked at Oscorp; he shivered after he heard the threat made against him and his family. Though he felt a little pity for Zeke, it was only for a second. He knew what he had to do, and he would do it according to the letter, without stepping a toe out of line. H
Chapter 148 Marcus looked at Belle. She was trying to hide her curiosity under her gaze but was it doing that good of a job. Marcus understood that she did not want to ask Kevin present, just in case there was something Marcus did not want him to hear. “It's alright Belle. Kevin is my lawyer and he's going to be the one representing me in my divorce case, that is happening today, and it is where I need to be first.” “How about I drop you off at work and we go on to the court and we would meet you back at the office when we are done?" Marcus asked. Deep down, he knew Belle would not choose to do this, instead she would want to follow him for support or whatever else she deemed appropriate, but she still needed to ask. “Young master, I'd like to go with you to the court, and from there we can go on to the factory when the case is over at the court,” Belle said. Marcus was right. He knew for sure this was what she would say, and he was in no mood to argue with anyon
Chapter 147 Marcus slowly drifted off to sleep, after thinking about the next day for a while. His room had a soundtrack of crashing waves that had been installed since they built the hotel. When Marcus found it some weeks ago, he had started using it, and it worked really well for him. Before, Marcus had found it quite hard to sleep off, but with the soundtrack of crashing waves sounding, he found it easy to sleep, and that was what he had started doing. Marcus slept off before he knew it. The day had not been as long as it normally was, but he needed that extra rest for tomorrow, and he was not feeling too hungry before he slept, so he just chose to go ahead to sleep. The clock in his room’s slow and consistent tick was the only reminder that time was passing really fast. The blinds in Marcus's room were so thick that it blocked off the light even during the day, not to even talk about the night. After a while, Marcus had woken up. He picked up the remote on the
Chapter 146 Marcus had just laid on his bed for a while,and had slowly started to drift off when his phone rang. He rolled his eyes in the dim lights of the room, as he moved and his shadow long and dark moved along with him. It was a mesmerizing sight for anyone who could see it. It was just that no one would have the pleasure of doing that. But that was not what was on Marcus's mind. He rolled over to the end of the bed where he had dropped the phone, picked it up and looked at the name of the person calling his phone. It was Luiz. It seemed like he had completed his task, Marcus thought. He hoped Luiz had not done too much and gotten caught. Because if he had, he would have made Dominic aware of the fact that they already knew he was a spy. The task he had given Luiz was fairly easy. He had been asked to follow Dominic from far off and not make him aware he was being followed. The key thing they needed to know was where he lived and ascertaining the presence of
Chapter 145 Marcus told them that he had a friend that was going to be staying in the hotel too. Kevin peeked from the back of Marcus and greeted the two ladies, to which both of them bowed their heads slightly. Being respectful to Marcus because of his identity also meant that they had to be respectful to his friends. Especially this kind of one that he brought to stay in the hotel with him. Mel and her partner nodded their heads. They knew what to do. So, they prepared a suite just like the one Belle was still staying in. It was the topmost grade of suite in the hotel, and only reserved for the most extremely famous people. Even if you had the money, you would not necessarily be able to get into this kind of suite in the hotel. It also had a limited amount, so it got quickly exhausted. Though Kevin was not really famous, but, since he was recommended by Marcus, the receptionists knew to give him the best type of suite they had. They promised to prepare one for h
Chapter 144 He had never mentioned anything about his father,and his friends did not ask either. Now, Dominic was back inside his house and he could not hear any sound at all. Not from his mother or even from his sister who would reasonably be loud due to the fact that her brother had gotten back from work, even when it was this late. But nothing of the sort seemed to happen. It was just silence throughout. Luiz was however satisfied with himself. His job in following Dominic was to find out where he lived. This was what Marcus had asked him to do. He did not want to be seen as doing too much, in case he got caught. Beaming with satisfaction, and after waiting for over ten minutes, he started walking back to where he had parked his car. Luiiz was walking in places where the light was not too bright. He did not want to take a game of risk regarding people in the community. He did not want them to be suspicious since they had not seen him in their neighborhood well. T
Chapter 143 However, it was just the paranoia. It made his behavioral pattern compulsory.Dominic could not take any chance. He still wanted to see his family. He hoped they would not be killed, and the only way for him to preserve their life was to do what was asked of him and not be caught. Immediately he was caught, he would be useless to the people that were using him and they would not allow his family to leave since they also were of no use to them. Dominic understood this, but this was still not something he could bear. Luiz had started getting quite impatient as Dominic had kept on stopping, and now this was their fifth stop, after going round this same neighborhood for the third time. He wanted to drive away or maybe even drive up to Dominic and ask to go to his house. But this was not the sensible thing to do. It would ruin the plan Marcus had made and would literally just be counterproductive. This was not something Luiz wanted to see happen. So,
Chapter 142 However, even when he was accosted by Burn, Dominic did not want to head in the same route as his boss and the people around him. It would not be a good thing for him, if he was caught that night and they started asking questions that might lead to him confessing. He had tried to time himself exactly well, this was why he had decided to go with Burn, to the place he had always parked before. When Burn asked him the question, he quickly feigned as if he forgot where he now parked and blamed it on forgetfulness. Burn's car was parked at the farthest side of the park, and by the time Dominic had started walking back to the place he parked his car, Burn had started his car and was already driving towards him and then outside. So, he had chosen to go with his friend Burn for now, and when both Marcus and Burn's car had left the park, he would go to get his car. He also looked around and saw two cars drive outside the factory. One of them looked like Espino
Chapter 141 Dominic took in a deep breath and exhaled. It seemed like no one had noticed him. What he did jot know however, was that Belle had noticed him, and not only Belle, in fact Marcus had noticed him. But, Marcus was really smart and sharp. Immediately he noticed it, he was sure of what he had seen, so he quickly took his eyes off him. He did not want to spook him off, so he just looked elsewhere. It was quite lucky that Dominic was more concerned with himself at the point where Marcus was looking at his expressions,so he didn't see Marcus looking at him. In fact, he believed that nobody else saw his reaction. Marcus had come to a conclusion deep down after this issue. He was now fully sure about what the unknown spy had told them. Marcus has been keeping the information the spy gave them at arm length. Even though he wanted to believe it fully, it was not that simple. What if the person was pretending to help them, and instead use this opportunity to infi
Chapter 140 Marcus did not know exactly why, but he felt safe around Kevin. It felt like Kevin was a guy he could confide in, and that was exactly what he did. He told him a lot of things he would not have otherwise told someone he was just meeting. Marcus told him about the bombing that had happened in the factory. He told him about the clues he had found, and about the person that seemed to be helping them from the inside of Oscorp. Though they did not know who exactly the person was, he was helping them regardless, and everything he had clued them on, had happened exactly how he had said it would. Marcus shared a lot of things with Kevin, and they talked till the end of the day. They did not know when time flew away and it was time to go home. It was after this discovery that they both stood up and went out of his office. Of course Belle was ready to leave. She on the other hand had been curious through the day, and had monitored the time through the day, wai
