Eric was taken aback by Christopher's sudden call.
It hadn't even been 30 minutes since he started calling members of his family, and Christopher had already called him.
"What the hell are you talking about Christopher... is this one of your threats?" asked Eric, annoyed.
"Threats?, Oh is that why you believed that you could do this, that you could make a deal with Comet, BEHIND MY BACK?!" yelled Christopher.
"How on earth do you know about that Christopher, are you... ARE YOU SPYING ON MY FAMILY?!" asked Eric, now getting enraged.
"Don't you dare change the subject Eric, you took something that was supposed to be mine, and gave it someone else... you will pay for that"
"You have no right to call my family's possessions yours, Eric, no right at all" iterated Eric.
"We might not be what we used to be, but we will never be beholden to you, not why you wo
Eric Phillips stood a few meters away from the entrance to the Phillips family hall room.He did this so that each and everyone of his family members, at least the best that came to this occasion, would have a chance to greet him.He felt that perhaps if members of the family see his cheerful, smiling face, those who were having seconds thought about everything, would at least least be slightly put at easy by his smile.Being so close to the hallroom door also allowed Eric a chance to see who exactly was attending the event.Turns out that this knowledge was a very useful to him, as he was able to see that many high ranking members of the Phillips family were in attendance.After hanging around the hallroom entrance for over half an hour, Eric would return to the hallroom to witness the events that were taking place.The tone this occasion was celebratory, ch
The hallroom of the Phillips family was silent for over a minute, this was how long it took Eric Phillips to gather his wit. He had to tell them the truth, no sugar coatings or lies. He would be direct with them, and could only hope that they would be able to understand his point of view. "What do you mean by you have made an enemy out of Christopher Newton, Dad" asked Eric's second son Jonathan, his voice filled with dread. "That's not even the real question here, the real question is what do you mean when you tell us you we will need to leave Reville?" asked Marko, his first son. "It means exactly what I said, Marko, Christopher Newton is no longer an ally of this family, and he seeks to destroy us" reiterated Eric, with a subdued sigh. "I don't understand... the Newton family have been allied with us for decades, you were best friends with Karl Newton... what on earth did you do that turned them
The entirety of the Phillips family couldn't believe what they had just heard."And they agreed to this, really?" asked Micheal Phillips in complete disbelief."Yes they definitely did, infact... based on the call I had with Comet's CEO, Jason Starfire, you would think that perhaps even Comet had problems with them" replied Eric, confidently.The entire hallroom remained silent for a while after this, as if everyone present was trying to properly process the information that they had been given.If this was true then it would change everything about their family's fortunes.The hall room was filled with looks of enthusiasm, skepticism, and new found excitement."What else does the Comet contract say?" Cillian finally asked, breaking the hallroom out of its thinking cycle."Well, the rest of the contract is not a very a complicated one, it simply states that for the first initial stages of our partnership, Comet will grant the Phillips security company a loan, allowing us to continue p
"Who... WHO ARE YOU!?" asked Eric Phillips, in a panicked voice.Dean did not answer this question, he merely turned to look at the other members of the Phillips family that were all hurdled at the other end of the hall room.All of them were just as visibly confused as Eric was, although at this point, Eric's mind had virtually been scrambled by all that had happened."Did he... did this man fall from the damn ceiling?" Eric asked himself as he looked at the ceiling, the massive hole that started back at him answered that question, this ominous man did infact fall from the ceiling.Before Eric could even bring himself to ask how a human being could fall from his house's 30 foot tall celing, he drew a gun from his jacket and attempted to point it at the intruder.However, before the gun was close to facing Dean's direction, he moved at sonic speeds to grab Eric's hand and snap it.This forced the gun out of Eric's hand, and caused him to yell out in pain, and the Phillips family to co
Dean was completely caught off guard by what had just happened.He was left so stunned by the sudden intrusion, that he was unable to move for several seconds, as the hall room was slowly engulfed in tear gas.But eventually he would regain his composure, and both he and Carlos would shoot each other stern looks, before slightly noding in their respective directions, and disappearing into the rising smoke screen.While Dean didn't know what was going on, he sure as hell wasn't about to let it get the better of him.Soon, agents wearing doing gas masks, wearing full armour, and carrying millitary grade weapons began entering the hall room through every avaliable entrance.They came in through the broken windows, they burst in through the hall room door, and they even let down grapple ropes through the hole in the ceiling that Dean had created, and the same heavily armed men slid down from them.Once these men where on the ground, they began shooting indiscriminately, attempting to hit
Dean and Carlos hurried away from the Phillips family house, and seemed to pick up the pace the farther away they got from the house.They had no idea how long it would take for the Reville police to discover that they had been hacked, and then rush to the scene.Earlier, before they arrived at the Hamilton family house, as usual Dean had hacked into the network of the Reville police department.There he turned off all their communications, and then redirecting the network to a server that was owned by Comet.The purpose of this server was to serve as a normal server for the police department, except for when any mention of the Phillips family was made through the server.The server was made using an artificial intelligence model, which was made to convert every mention of the Phillips family, or the Phillips family residence into another location.This way, if any members of the Phillips family made a call to the police, the dispatch would instead redirect them to another location, b
Marko Phillips clasped his together as his father's coffin was lowered into the ground.A single tear rolled down his eyes as the grave was slowly covered in dirt.His father was an old man, but he in no way expected him to die in such a way.He looked around the cemetery at the five other graves that were being covered up by dirt.That's right, the Phillips family was burying give people that day, five very high ranking members of the family.He was the only one left that could even be considered a high ranking member of the family anymore.His aunt Mirabel, who survived the initial attack had gone into a deep depression, choosing to seclude herself within her house.One weeks after the attack on the family, Mirabel had only left her house briefly to attend the funeral of her brothers daughter Anabelle, a woman she had been very close with.The attack on the Phillips family had shaken the entire city of Reville, and to an extent, the entire nation of Orzan to its core.The death of E
Soon after Marko returned to his house, he went into the bathroom to take a very long shower.Once he was done with this, he headed over to a large, personal vending machine which was located at the end of the house's hallway.There, he grabbed a can of beer and headed over to his personal office within the house.There he sat, opened the can of beer, and began to think of a way forward.But before he could even start to do that, he decided to make a rather important phone call.Retrieving his phone from his pocket, he dialed in a sequence of numbers, and once the phone began to ring, he placed the device on his ear, awaiting a response from the other side of the call.Eventually, that response would finally come, and once Marko confirmed this, he asked to confirm the answerer of the call "Micheal... is this you?""Yeah... it's me" replied Michael."What the fuck happened Michael, the funerals were today... where the hell were you?", asked Marko, his voice was furious."Death and des
