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
"Good afternoon Mr Marko, how are we doing today" asked Dean."It's you... it's the two of you, you're the Comet representatives?" asked Marko, baffled that he had unknowingly walked away from representatives of Comet."Yes... indeed we are Mr Marko, can we sit down?" asked Dean."Yes... of course" replied Marko, gesturing towards the two chairs he had set up.He then opened the top cabinet of a shelf behind him, to retrieved a bottle of wine and three glasses.He placed each of these glasses on the table, and filled them with wine, before then offering this wine to Dean and Carlos, before sitting back down on his chair."I'm sorry, what did you both say your names where again?" asked Marko."My name is Marcus Azna" said Dean, pointing to himself, "and his name is Jonathan Willow" added Dean, as he pointed towards Carlos."And the two of you are... agents of Comet?" Marko asked, as his suspicion of the two men k
"Everything I have ever wanted?" scoffed Marko, "how on earth could you possibly know what I want?""Oh believe me Mr Marko, we know exactly what you want... it's the exact same thing your father wanted, and the reason he sought out Comet's help in the first place" replied Dean.Marko stared at Dean sternly, he wasn't very fond of the overtly confident, and smug tone that Dean had."And what exactly did my father want, why exactly did he come to you?" asked Marko."Vengance Mr Marko, your father wanted vengeance, and he came to us seeking vengeance"Dean's words sparked Marko's attention, causing the man to lean forward slightly, so he could pay proper attention to what Dean was saying."He wanted nothing more than to punish the Warringtons for what they did to your family, his conviction was so strong that he was willing to put it before anything else, including the requisition of his wealth" explained Dean."Yeah, he m
"I refuse" replied Marko.These were the words that had echoed through the room over a minute ago, and all the while since then, the three men had basically maintained the positions, staring at each other.Dean had an especially annoyed look on his face, not beacuse he had any fear in him, but beacuse he felt that Marko was being unnecessarily stubborn."I wish... I wish to renegotiate some of the terms" stated Marko."Don't get me wrong, some terms of the deal are certainly very good for me, but there are certain aspects of it I cannot accept... so I would like to renegotiate"Dean sighed moderately, before he explained "That's truly unfortunate Mr Marko, but like I previously said, I am merely a Comet representative, I do not have the power to renegotiate the terms of this contract""Then take it back to your superiors... let me modify the terms of the contract, then you can send my modified contract to them for approval" offer
Marko did not sleep soundly the night before, in fact, he had barely gotten any sleep at all, since he stayed up late for most of the night, contemplating his next move.Even when he did fall asleep, he was so anxious that he would make up soon after, resulting in him getting only a whopping 3 hours of sleep.Marko couldn't help but pace around his house for hours after he signed the new contract.His eyes hurt, and his head was pounding due to a lack of properties sleep, but he couldn't care less.He wasn't sure what his next move should be, although one thing was certain... he had to contact his family whether he liked it or not.He needed to organise a meeting, one that every senior member of the family could join.But who exactly could he call?Aside from himself, the only senior ranking member of the family he could think of was his aunt Mirabel, but she was currently shut out from the rest of the world.But she did
"Hello Everyone, we're going to make this meeting short and simple, I don't want to waste anyone's time here, I know you all can't wait to run away from your responsibilities" began Marko.His opening remarks caused the entire sitting room to collectively scoff, as while they were all offended by his words, they understood just how their recent actions, or lack thereof, could be seen as cowardly."The Phillips security company has been sold to Comet, and with it, the Phillips security building" stated Marko."How on earth could you do something like that?... The Phillips security company, and ESPECIALLY the secrets to the Phillips security building was all we had, how could you give it away?" asked Roderick, angrily."I did not give it away, Roderick, I sold it... and you, me, and everyone else in this family will benefit from it""Could you not negotiate for a better deal Marko?, at least one that did not involve us loosing the Phillips
Dean awoke from his slumber, and lazily stepped out of the office chair.Rubbing his eyes slightly, Dean slowly made his way to a water dispenser, where he poured himself a cool glass of water.Dean absolutely hated the late nights he had to spend in the office every few months lately.Ever since Mia became the CEO of Hamilton constructions over a year ago, Dean had basically been running the company the entire time.For the most part, Mia was simply there to sign the documents, documents she usually didn't even bother to read before signing, as she had so much faith in Dean's judgment.And she had a very good reason to trust Dean's judgment, as since taking control of Hamilton constructions, the company had grown more than 10 fold, and had become a five hundred million dollar company.This caused the company to expand massively every couple of months, causing Dean to have to spend the night in the office, signing documents, deals and
