After discussing the plan, we returned to Lisa's mansion. Exhausted from everything and having lost my appetite after watching that creepy video, I decided to go back to my room immediately.

I lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling and thinking, "Oh God! How could someone be so cruel? I fainted just from listening to that guy's screams." I shifted positions, "Well, I guess there's no other way. If I want my revenge, I need an iron-hearted guy in our gang."

At Lisa's room:

Drake entered Lisa's room and sat on the sofa. He pulled out his phone, sent the same guy's image to his group, and asked, "If anyone sees this guy anywhere, let me know immediately."

"Huff! I wonder if he'll be able to complete this task successfully," Drake thought aloud.

"Well, there's no choice. If we want to speed up Blurb's progress, he'll have to face these kinds of challenges. And besides, even if he fails, I'm sure your underling will just finish plan B," Lisa said, emerging from the bath.

    It was raining that night in Memphis, USA. It was midnight at 00:05 on February 14th, 2022. I was doing my night job at Earnestine & Hazel's restaurant, getting orders from customers and cleaning the table while thinking about my girlfriend.I had to leave my girlfriend because of this gig because the pay was good. I decided that I’ll take her on a date at noon or evening and will give her a beautiful present as an apology.A couple was sitting beside the wall. The wall was made up of mirrors so both sides could see through it.“Excuse me! Can you get our order please?” The boy requestedI went straight to them to get the orders. They were checking on the menu again to make sure what they wanted to order.“Bring us Grit Stixs for appetizers, and then bring 1 Chili con carne, 1 Willie T's Shrimp Pasta for me and.” The boy said.“1 stoned soul picnic for me.” The girl, sitting in front of the man, ordered.“Ok! Let me recheck, you need Grit stixs then 1 chili con carne, 1 Willie T’s Shr

  • Million Dollar   Chapter 02 - Confusion

    When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying on a hospital bed all alone. No one was found. My head was aching so much because of the injury, and I got a plaster on my left leg too. After some time, a female nurse came to check on me. As soon as she saw me conscious, she called the doctor, and he checked my injuries. “You will be fit like before in the next couple of months, so rest up and take it easy.” Doctor said, I wasn’t able to talk, so I was just staring at him, hoping that he'd tell me who dropped me here. “Oh yes, a girl left you here. She said she found you on the road unconscious with this major injury, so she admitted you here. She has paid for the treatment, so don’t worry about it.” He said I was wondering if the girl was my ex-girlfriend, and afterwards I went to sleep. ** After one month, I was discharged from the hospital though my injuries weren’t healed completely but my plaster was removed. The doctor said that the girl paid for the treatment, but she didn’t

  • Million Dollar   Chapter 03 - The Meeting

    After that call, I enjoyed the whole week. I’ve already decided that whatever that mysterious girl will demand from me, I will give it to her. Even if she asks me to die, I'll do it. I stopped fearing because I had nothing to lose at that time, and thanks to her, I got to see the world I had never seen before. 7 days had passed... I drank a little more than usual that night, and I went to bed as soon as I got home. The same night, at 12 o'clock, someone knocked on the door. I was sleeping deeply on my bed. That stranger unlocked the door and came into my room. He splashed water on my mouth. I suddenly woke up. I saw a man in a black suit standing beside me. Without thinking about anything, I shouted, “Wh--who are you?" And how did you enter my room?” I tried to grab my phone, which was on the table near my bed. The man grabbed my hand and said, Don't worry, sir! I’m here to pick you up.” “Wha--What are you talking about?” I asked. I was a bit drunk, so I totally forgot about the day

  • Million Dollar   Chapter 04 - The Deal

    I glared at him. "Tsk! I guess it's none of my business." Looking away from Charlie, I addressed the girl directly, "Who are you? Why did you call me here? And why the one million dollars?""So you've come to your senses, have you?" The girl said with a sly smile. "I called you here to propose a deal. That million dollars is just a taste of what you'll gain if you accept." She returned to her seat, her composure unsettling. “As for Who I am. My name is Lisa Greynight, my occupation… you’ll know it soon enough.”"If it involves killing someone, count me out," I said, my voice hard as I met the gaze of her right-hand man."Don't worry," she said, her voice smooth as silk, "if I need someone killed, my boys here can handle it in a blink. As for you, I have a different proposition. I want you to be my dealer and become my... personal faithful dog." The last words were laced with a hint of amusement, sending a shiver down your spine.Fear coiled in your gut, but a sliver of curiosity fl

  • Million Dollar   Chapter 05 - Delivery Job

    It took me 2 hours to make a deal with them. Never in a million years had I ever imagined that a beautiful lady like Lisa was going to be my boss. Though, the way she killed that guy within a second gave me chills. I sighed, "I wonder what is going to happen to me in the future. Also come to think of it, is she really a mafia? I used to think that mafias keep their identity hidden that not even their own family members know about them. Jeez! I guess it's a concern for later." I thought about it and went to bed. The next day, I received a job proposal letter. It looked like a normal part-time delivery job at first. There was a contact number of the owner, "Well, since I have to keep my identity hidden I must need to do something so that no-one will get suspicious about me." I thought and called the number.The call was picked up by a man with a gruff voice. "Hello sir, how can I help you?""Is this the Bluffcakes restaurant? I received a job proposal letter from you today," I said."A

  • Million Dollar   Chapter 06 - Know Your Place

    Lisa's sweet voice sent shivers down my spine. "Welcome back, Blurb Grimstone," she purred, "or should I say, Jimmy Watson?""You!" I blurted, my voice laced with accusation. "Why'd you give him my fake name? Where'd you even get fake documents?"Drake, a smug grin plastered on his face, took over. "The name's not fake. This here's the real Jimmy Watson. We borrowed his documents and, well, let's just say we updated his picture."Disbelief washed over me. "What? This guy isn't a bad guy?" My voice trembled as I looked at the innocent man on the floor."Of course not!" Drake scoffed. "He just has a similar personality to you, that's all. We offered him a job, some easy money, but he refused. So, well..." he trailed off, his grin widening into a cruel smirk.Seeing red, I lunged towards Lisa, a roar erupting from my throat. "How could you do this? This is messed up!"Before I could reach her, Charlie materialized in front of me, his fist connecting with my gut with a sickening thud. T

  • Million Dollar   Chapter 07 - Drug Dealing

    When I arrived, I noticed four youngsters, approximately aged 15-17, consuming alcohol and drugs. One of them lay unconscious on the ground, two were drinking wine against the wall, and the last one, apparently the customer, greeted me, saying, "Hello sir, thank you for the delivery." He spoke with a drunken slur, "Here's the tip for ya, enjoy your life, buddy!"Surprisingly, he handed me a thousand dollars as a tip. Although it wasn't my concern, I couldn't help but wonder why intoxicated individuals would want to order food in such a place. It was all new to me. Regardless, I declined the money and began heading back to the restaurant. Suddenly, an old man intercepted me."You bastard! You're the one who ruined my child's life," he exclaimed.Perplexed, I responded, "What do you mean, sir? I just came here to deliver the meal.""Meal, you say?" The old man approached me, shouting, "So those cocaine are now a meal for you!" He punched me in the face.Stammering, I tried to explain, "

  • Million Dollar   Chapter 08 - End Up Being A Dog

    As I approached the man, I realized it was none other than Drake himself who had come to take me with him. I wondered why he had come alone to escort me to Lisa. Nonetheless, I got into the car. Inside, we didn't exchange any words; Drake drove while I silently admired the passing scenery, though I couldn't shake off the nervousness brewing within me. Having met Lisa twice already, and witnessing someone die each time because of me, left me uneasy.We arrived at our destination, which wasn't a shady abandoned place or a club this time. Instead, it was a normal restaurant named "Chez Philippe." Drake instructed me to come inside; we were ten minutes early, and Lisa had yet to arrive. I noticed there was no one else, besides the staff, in the restaurant. I queried Drake about it, and he informed me that Lisa had reserved the entire place for herself. He then ordered drinks for both of us.Curious about his methods for concealing his identity, I asked, "So, what do you do to hide your id

    Chapter 37 - Person from Dark Web

    When we reached the hacker’s home, three people were sprawled out on the ground and sofa, clearly exhausted from overwork. One of them was still sitting in front of a computer. Drake approached him, and as soon as the hacker noticed Drake, he stood up and greeted him with respect. He completely ignored me until Drake called me over. I didn’t mind; the guy looked like he could collapse at any moment. Empty energy drink cans were scattered all over his table.“Man! You sure worked all night, it seems,” I said in surprise.“Ah, yes… That guy’s phone had some tight security, and we almost got exposed once because the police were tracking his phone. So we had to track the police data as well in order to find an opening,” he explained.“So were you able to unlock his phone and get the details?” Drake asked.“About that…” the hacker said, sitting back down in front of his computer.Drake and I stood behind him as he opened a gallery folder and showed us some unusual pictures of Michel.“What

    Chapter 36 - Last warning

    Approximately fourteen people were approaching us, but after hearing Drake’s warning, five of them backed down. Perhaps it was due to his overwhelming killing aura, too powerful for a normal person to confront. The remaining nine people decided to charge at once. A big, fat guy, wielding a sharp shushikiri, attempted to attack Drake first.Drake's muscles tensed as he stepped back, then he grabbed the fat guy’s hand and started squeezing. The fat guy tried to free himself by attacking with his other hand, but that turned out to be the worst move he could have made. Everyone intending to attack stopped in their tracks when they saw their most formidable member immobilized. Drake effortlessly twisted both of the fat guy’s hands, dislocating his hand bones. The shushikiri fell from his grip, and he screamed so loudly that the others stepped back in fear. Despite this, they decided to charge him again, all at once this time. Drake remained composed, and as they attacked, he evaded and co

    Chapter 35 - We don’t need any Guards

    Drake arrived to pick me up at noon, and after having lunch, we set off together. I couldn't shake off the feeling of confusion about why I was the one escorting him. I mean, if it’s about strength, then I might be the one who would need his protection, and he’s already far sharper than me when it comes to strategy-making. “Am I developing some kind of inferiority complex?” I pondered, staring out of the window.“Is something bothering you?” Drake asked, his eyes focused on the road.“You know… Just confused as to why I'm the one escorting you. I mean, you didn’t bring any guards with you here,” I inquired, turning to face him.“Guards? Why would we need them? We're just going to meet Lucas and will come back as soon as we're done. Also, if you're wo

    Chapter 34 - Workout with Lisa

    The next day, Lisa seemed worked up for the exercise. She wore a different workout outfit and arrived at the garden before me. I approached her, “Good morning, Lisa. You're up early today, huh?”“You dare to come fifteen minutes late and then mock me by saying that I woke up early?” Lisa retorted while stretching.“No… I came on time, what are you talking about?”“Shut up! As a student, it’s your duty to arrive before your teacher.”“Fine! Fine!” I acquiesced and began my basic exercises.As I followed her lead, I pondered how I could convince her to exercise with me. I recalled Drake's advice, though I wasn’t confident it would work. “Well, there’s nothing to lose but a lot to gain. So here goes nothing,” I thought as Lisa and I finished our basic body stretching.“Alright! It’s time for you to run,” said Lisa.“It’s time for us to run,” I corrected her.“Hmm…? It’s just your second day, and you want me to run with you?”“Why? You don’t have the stamina?” I teased.Lisa laughed, “Are

    “Say what?” Lisa looked at him in shock. “How did my sister find out about this? Did you tell her?” she asked Marx.“You see the difference between you and your sister now? You might be her elder sister, but she’s way sharper than you'll ever be,” he replied.Lisa clicked her tongue and turned away, leaving the place.“My dear Athena! I wonder how much you've changed in the past few years,” Marx mused, gazing at her photo.Meanwhile, Lisa arrived at the mansion where Drake and I were still engrossed in casual conversation while a maid served us food. Lisa glanced at them before heading to her room to change. Entering the bathroom, she luxuriated in the warm water. “Ah, yes! This warm water is exactly what I needed,” she sighed with relief, though her expression soon shifted to worry.“If Athena comes to the house, it’ll be chaotic here, and the silence of this mansion will be gone,” she muttered to herself. “Well, she's going to stay here for a few days, so I guess I can deal with it.

    Chapter 32 - She’s better

    Later that day, Drake came to meet me at the Mansion. I was watching TV in the living room, and Rosa was sitting on the other sofa with Jenna. Of course, she was cursing me as usual. When I saw Drake coming towards me, I turned off the TV and stood up to greet him.“Long time no see, sir,” I greeted him and shook our hands.“It’s been a while indeed, Blurb. How’s your leg doing?” Drake asked.“My whole body’s feeling muscle cramps right now,” I said, stretching my body with a painful sound effect. “And you know the reason how.”“Haha, so she decided to train you, huh?”“She’s a demon, bro. I’ve done training before as well, but no one tried killing me with these intense workouts,” I lamented in front of Drake. I knew that Lisa wasn’t doing anything wrong, and I agreed to this willingly. But still, with Drake around, I felt like opening up.“It’s fine,” Drake told me and continued, “Believe me, you are quite lucky if Madam Lisa is training you herself. She’ll make you the person you ne

    Hearing Henry say that, Jordan got confused and asked, “What do you mean? You just said that he twisted his neck, and now you are saying that he wasn’t dead?”“Yess…” Henry answered and explained, “I received a phone call from him, and he said that he doesn't remember anything that happened last night. The only thing he knew was that we were taking a hot lady to a hotel room… just hearing his voice made all my tension and anger go away. That was the moment I realized my mistake, and now I just want to apologize to both of them. But there is one person who I don’t want to forgive at all cost.”Jordan listened to Henry and stood quietly. He finally understood what Henry and his father were trying to say to him. Jordan assured him that he respects his decision and would always be by his side, no matter if it’s about revenge or peace. Jordan also told him that he’ll do whatever he can to know about the guy who he wants to take revenge from. And then he left the cabin, leaving Henry alone

    Henry told his father and Jordan about the club incident when he got beaten up by Blurb and then how Michel came to arrest him and broke his leg at the police station. Henry also told them about that night’s event but didn’t mention killing anyone. He said, “When we were on our way to a hotel room with her, she revealed her true identity to me and then warned me that if I didn’t tell her about the person who told me to do that work, then she will destroy me. My friend was with me, and she poisoned him just to show that she wasn’t joking.”“So, was she the one who dropped you off at the hospital?” Jordan asked him.“Y- yes,” Henry replied hesitantly.Henry’s father was angry with him after he heard that he bullied someone just because someone mocked him in front of his girlfriend. “I knew you were a fool, but to think that you’d get manipulated this easily. It’s truly a shame…” he said.“I am sorry, Dad,” Henry said with a sad voice. “I promise, I won’t do this ever again.”Denial look
