_Flashback_Tristan had just left the president's house after a brief meeting with him and his son Neo. They invited him for lunch after the new spread that Tristan Coleman had sent the assassin to save Neo from the hands of those who had kidnapped him and were ready to kill him...Both the president and his son expressed their gratitude, but things took an unexpected turn as soon as Tristan left the house. "I do not like this man," Neo announced without looking at his father, the president who occupied the seat next to him. Surprised, his father asked,"That's the man who saved your life. What do you hold against him?" "I hold nothing against him, I just fear what he might become in a few years, this man you see is keeping a lot of secrets from the public, he has much more power than he shows to people," Neo replied, pushing his empty plate away from him."I don't understand," His father said with a raised brow."Tristan wasn't the person who rescued me. He sent an assassin, and t
"Wow," Tristan exclaimed after hearing his wholesome tale about the event,"So because you hate me, you came after my life and all the people I loved?" he asked and Neo let out a chuckle."First it was Marie, and then the rest of your family, you were just impossible, Coleman but I am so glad that you brought yourself to me, now I can deal with you, stress-free." "Wait, what were you thinking?" Neo asked him. "That I will show up unprepared?""I'm sorry, Neo, but that assumption was from you," Tristan replied, and before Neo could utter another word, all of Tristan's men came out of their hiding places.They rushed in for the attacks, each one taking on one or two minions at a time. Tristan on the other hand, using the system's strength, knocked out both minions that held onto his arm."I can't believe you were proud of yourselves. " He chucked."System sends the recording of his tale to Detective Briggs. " Tristan instructed, while looking around in all directions, wondering where
Max walked up the stairs along with him, keeping an eye out for whoever might attack his boss from behind. Tristan on the other hand walked as fast as he could, his blood boil from inside, and he couldn't wait to get his hand on Neo.As soon as Tristan opened the door to the office where the system had shown him, Tristan was surprised to see Neo, holding unto a box that had a big red bottom on the surface."Take just one step towards be, Tristan and I will blow this place up!" He threatened, his finger hovering over the red button.Tristan chucked, he found it amusing that everyone one of them assumed that he cared so much about the building. It could burn down for all he cares, because he had the money to restore it to its former glory and make it even better."Go ahead," Tristan told him, "Do it, and between the both of us, we'll know who will survive a bomb blast." Tristan laughed and gently closed the distance between them, taking it one step at a time, but Neo kept on pointing
"It's about time!" Neo mumbled amidst the excruciating pain, he tried to get on his feet while keeping an eye on Tristan who's legs as bleeding profusely from the gunshot.The man who has shot the gun approached Tristan, kicked the young trillionaire on the face, and muttered,"idioit. You think you can die huh? that you were are so invincible? Well you may have survived other bullets, but not mine." "Are you okay sir?" He turned to Neo after kicking Tristan once again."Do I look fine to you?" Neo frowned, showing off the cuts and bruises he sustained."You are late, you ought to be here thirty minutes ago." "I'm sorry sir," The man apologized, whilst helping Neo get to his feet,"I was delayed at the headquarters, they insisted on knowing my reasons for taking on of these," He explained and showed Neo the gun and bullet he had used on Tristan."At this rate, his leg is long gone, I want to see how this fool Will run away now," He laughed and kicked Tristan again on the side, knock
"Hey man, are you alright?" Harry's voice resounds over again in Tristan's ears as he has just woken up after being knocked out for nearly five hours."Good," Tristan replied trying to sit up on the hospital bed, but Tristan stopped him,"No, man, relax, don't stand up yet. I saw the news, why didn't you tell me that something was going on? I would have called the cops earlier and could have even gotten there by myself." Harry grumbled."Don't even say anything," He uttered,"What matters is that you are okay, and not dead, I'll be back in a few minutes, the doctor needs to speak to me .""Alright man," Tristan uttered with his voice barely audible. As soon as Harry walked out of the room, the system lit up with a notification./Final task complete!/ /As a gift from the system to you.../Healing process begins....10%/50%//70%//100%//Healing complete//Task complete!// Host is currently a quintillionaire//Congratulations!/"Thanks, system, for the healing too... the nurse will
"Do you think she will like it?" Tristan asked as he stared at the hall that had been decorated for more than a million dollars."It looks great, don't worry, she will like it." His mother tapped his back with a smile. "By the way, when does she get back from the hospital?" she asked."5 pm, " Tristan answered, and suddenly noticed that he wasn't seeing his cake."Where is the cake?" He asked."Her cake?" his mom asked and he nodded,"I don't know, but it can't be here by now, it'll melt before she even shows up, it's just noon. I want to go get my nails done, and it's going to be a grad party." His mother excitedly walked out of the hall."I'll go with Mom, don't worry brother, she will love it," Ariana hugged him before running out of the hall after her mother, she also wanted to get her nails done.Tristan drew a chair from the set-up, and sat down with a sigh, he couldn't believe that it had been four years since the system left, and it had been four years since he met Claudia.
“Sleeping?” Claudia smiled as she walked into the room and gazed upon her handsome man on the bed. Her entrance had disturbed his sleep but he didn’t mind.“Welcome back,” Tristan greeted her while running his finger over his sleepy eyes. He quickly stole a glance at the clock to ensure that he hadn’t slept past the time he wanted to, unfortunately he had. But he didn't panic so much, Claudia had gotten back an hour earlier, so all he needed to was to get ready and urge her to get dressed too."How was work?" He inquired, trying to keep the conversation simple because he had told her nothing about the party."Stressful, as always," She sat next to him on the bed, she placed a kiss on his cheek and stood up immediately, she wanted to take shower before anything."I told you not to go to work on your birthdays, it is not that big of a deal, if your boss as much as threatens to fire you, I'll buy the hospital and make you the owner." Tristan flaunted with a smirk as he threw his head b
"Holy shit," Claudia exclaimed as she walked into the venue accompanied by Tristan, her hands over he mouth. Not only was it a pleasant surprise but it was in that she never anticipated.As soon as her eyes met her mothers, Claudia's heart melted, she quickly turned to Tristan and asked,"How did you get all of them here?" "I'll never tell," Tristan smirked before being enveloped in a warm hug from her, "Thank you so much," she uttered with tears in the corner of her eyes, after which she vanished into the crowd and began greeting everyone she met.Firstly, her mother. It has been nearly two years since they last met in person, her father was also present and she couldn't use words to express how grateful she was to them for showing up.Next was Tristan's mother, even since she moved to LA with Tristan, she barely saw the lady, and she was more than happy to meet her again. Ariana on the other hand was so grown and almost unrecognisable, that she hugged the young woman before procee
