It did not take long after Meghan's departure for Sophie and her mother to be paid another visit by two likely visitors. They both brushed in the office with the swave and style that they have always been used to having. Harry and his best friend, James.

Ever since the embarrassment brought upon him by Gavin in the night at the restaurant, he had carried a a little anger around him. One that was quite visible in the way he got in the office. He did not even smile when he was greeted by the two women. His friend, Harry tried his best to infact cover up his blemishes and not tried to make him seem to imposing.

"Harry!" Sophie let out a high pitched scream once she set her eyes on one of the people on the door, knocking. It was Harry, her fiance, and his best friend, James, who had taken a liken on her sister. She went ahead to hug Harry while James came inside the office and greeted Katherine.

"To what do I owe this pleasant surprise?" Katherine asked in a delightful manner. "Come, gra

    "Is that not Meghan?" James said excitedly having spotted her. Harry turned around to see what James was talking about and saw his soon to be sister-in-law seemingly trying to stop a taxi."Aw, look at her. She doesn't even have a car because she is married to that broke oaf." Harry sneered."Hey, that's my future wife you're talking about. Try to show a little bit more respect." James said inspite of himself."You're funny," Harry remarked cheekily. "What are you going to do now? Don't tell me—""Harry, I'm sorry," James apologized. "But please can you do this one thing for me? Take a cab home, or better yet, call one of your drivers to come pick you. I intend to go drop her off at her destination myself." "What? I figured you'd do this, you sly dog," noted Harry, looking really pissed at his friend wanting to abandon him for a woman."Like I said, I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you some other day, please do not get angry, even though I know you're already pissed. I need to make a n

    "Well," Meghan prepared to start her tale on what exactly was the case with her. She gripped tightly the edges of her dress, seemingly shy to say the least in bringing her problems to the young man whom she was with at the time. Her eyes were fixed to the floor.James had one eye on the road and one eye on her. He held his words, not wanting to say anything at the time that would stop her from spilling what she had already told him to be a long story."You see, my family wants me to secure a deal for them, and if I don't do so, they will—" She cut her long story short there. Any other words and it would have been a little bit too much for her to be pouring into the ears of James, someone who had already declared interest in her. Still the same someone who her husband was quite uncomfortable with. She couldn't say more."It's okay, you shouldn't tell me if it is going to be like I am forcing you to. I don't want to be that person to you." James put as much effort sounding like he care

    "And here we are, at the bank," James said, stopping the car for Meghan to alight. "Thank you," she said as she came down from the car about to go into the bank. "I really appreciate you." "It's fine," James said in a cheeky manner. "It's all good when it's about helping a beautiful woman like you." Meghan blushed at his compliment. "You ought to stop, I am a married woman," she said."Surely you don't think that a married woman doesn't deserve to be complimented and praised do you?" He asked. "Well that would be a shame.""I'm just letting you know once again, just in case you forget what I am," she said. She was a little more serious in tone this time. She looked at the watch on her wrist and she immediately got a sense of urgency, which showed on her face in a look of anxiousness."Is anything the matter?" James asked."No. Not really. I just have to go now before the bank closes." She replied him without looking up towards his face."Oh, of course," James said. "You go do that.

    In the comforts of his home, James also made his call, believing that the men he had in the bank would grant him his wish."Hello, Max," he said as the recipient of his call picked up the phone. "Yes, hello James. What exactly is the problem now?" Max asked.James chuckled, almost even laughing sporadically. "Why would you think that there is a problem?" "Because you only call me when you have a problem you want to fix, James. That is not something you can deny any more.""Okay, I admit that I might have done that before, but that doesn't mean that it is what I always do when I call you."There was no answer from Max. It was almost as if he was trying to get James to admit to the truth himself."Spill it, James," he said at once. "I really don't have time right now. I'm at work. There are a lot of customers, so I don't think I can spend any more minutes pandering to you.""Oh you have become quite stiff have you not, Max?" James said to him in a sort of mocking manner. "But fine, I

    A few minutes before James had made his call to Max, Meghan was already in the bank, the cold air from the air-conditioning system blew on her face, just as well as the pleasant looks of the workers caught her off guard."Welcome miss, how can we help you today?” A woman at the door said with a big smile stretched across her happy face. She was surprised at how friendly the woman looked and assumed that this could possibly be a good sign."Oh, can you please take me to the customer care. I would like to see them.""Okay, ma'am. I will do just that for you. You do not have to worry about it."Meghan wondered if James had already called his connections in the bank to open up a way for her to go in with minimal obstructions on her way. She silently thanked him, putting her palms together as though she was praying.The woman led her to the customer care service where a long queue was. "Now I have to get back to my post," the woman said immediately. "Just stand here and tell the custome

    It was evening, Gavin felt totally satisfied over the call he had made. For once, he thought to himself, that he had finally done something good for his wife, even though she would not really know he was the one who did it. He had been standing on his feet for a while. His eyes were glued to the gate as vehicle after vehicle passed. His job at that time was to see who the driver was, and try to know their mission in the vicinity. He had a blue card that he would give them as means of authorization to go inside. They had to return it once they came outside. That way he was able to know the amount of cars that were in the vicinity and be able to keep track of them.This was his job at the night time. At day time, he was a delivery man. It took a lot of toll and time on him, but as long as he was able to afford his daily bread, as well as a little to support his wife, he was okay.There were beads of sweat dropping from his forehead. He was really tired, but he just had to keep going.

    "I will make you pay, Gavin. Whether or not you know what you did." There was so much agony dripping from Ron's words. His eyes were reddened. There was a vein popping on his forehead. The evening sun casted shadows that frames his face to resemble that of a nightmare creature.Gavin was still standing by the gate when Ron who was supposed to be going home, walked close to him.Ron stared at Gavin's legs and thought to himself, still angry and rage driven, "Those legs of yours, the ones you use to work two jobs, I will make sure I bruise them so you will not put me to shame anymore. You will get what is coming for you." He approached Gavin slowly, and looked at the other direction to make him perceive that he was not looking at him. "Good evening sir," Gavin greeted, but his voice and words felt like that of a fly or a mosquito to Ron. It only made him feel more aggravated at the young man who was only working for his daily bread and had no awareness that his superior in office had

    Hearing Megan squeal with terror after seeing his beaten body on the floor, made him raise his head up to look at her right there at the right of the door. "I got beaten up," he answered her question. "What? Why? What happened?" Meghan moved towards him and tried to touch him, but he shrieked away at her advances. He could only feel nothing but pain as she touched him. Gavin searched his mind to answer the question, but could not find any real reason why he was beaten up. "I really don't know," he said. "But then, who did this?" She had concern written all over her face. "My superior. The Chief Security Officer. I really did not do anything and he did this?" Megan sprung back for a few seconds. Her look of concern morphed quickly into one of unbelief and shock. "Are you sure that is what happened?" She asked. "Why exactly would he want to beat you up to this state? Are you sure you did not do something?" "I am telling you that I don't know why I was beaten up, so I cann

    Chapter 516: Memory Flashes

    Megan was still very unconscious from her wound that had started bleeding out, she was taken back to her room. Gavin's guard was keeping an eye on her, and he was concerned that something bad had happened to her as a result of the amount of blood she had lost.The medical team arrived and redressed her wounds, telling the guard not to let her carry anything until her body healed. The doctor became enraged and yelled, "Who told her she could get herself dressed up? She is just too stubborn and never listens, I told her she was free to go, not free to do more work."The doctor was furious with her as he was redressing her open wounds; he told the guard that he was fortunate to have discovered her at the time he did; otherwise, she would have died because the wound that opened was directed at her vein, which carried blood, and further delays would have caused her to bleed out even more.The guard was relieved that he managed to save Meghan. If not, Gavin would have killed him as well bec

    Chapter 515: The Exchange

    In order to apprehend the fixer and save Harry at the same time, special operations had to increase their level of security both online and on the site after receiving the fixer's location.The exchange would take place simultaneously, which meant that everything would happen at the same time. Before releasing the letter, the person with the letter would need to wait for a signal from the other team that retrieved Harry to confirm that Harry was okay.Although the chairman expressed regret for the letter, he saw it as a necessary tool and hoped that, once the exchange was over, they would be able to permanently get the fixer.At Vengeance, Harry is now awake and unsure of his exact location. He saw himself in a glass box with his new uniform, and a small food tray was placed on the table for him to eat, but he was unable to do so because his first concern was the location and purpose of his visit.He started searching for Sophia and hoped she was okay when he heard a voice say, "You a

    Gavin got dressed as soon as the head of the Supreme Boss Council left his door. He also told the spy that she needed to find another way out of his apartment because it appeared that he was being watched now and they needed to be more cautious. He gave her his card to enter and exit his secret entrance, and he instructed her to put the card in his guard's pocket as punishment.Gavin left his apartment when he noticed that the spy had left his building and was low in the compound. He went to meet the head of the supreme boss council and thanked him for letting him see him so naked. The spy thanked him for protecting her, and he left as well.The head of the Supreme Boss Council said to Gavin, "I do not have a problem, intact. I should be the one apologizing for interrupting, and I am happy that you are taking my advice by not showing your weakness. Okay, so what do you mean by me? I have a flight to catch." He had urgent matters to attend to, so he needed to make sure Gavin was comfor

    “That's fine I am honourable but I can't say that for you too,” The fixer said to the chairman as a way to make fun of him and to make him uncomfortable.“Alright, I will send you the pickup address and the address to deliver my letter to, it was nice doing business with you, Chairman” The fixer also said to the chairman as he was already beaming with excitement as he saw the letter was already set for him, he ended the call after speaking with the Chairman.The fixer ended the call feeling very happy and the Chairman was also happy because they had been able to find the exact location of Vengeance but their aim priority now was to get Harry and then raid Vengeance and rescue Meghan“I am grateful that it was not all a waste,” George said to the chairman as he was relieved that this negotiation was over, he was also afraid that they had given him too much for Harry but Harry was an important person too and who his parents were they would not let the US government go easily “I am sur

    Chapter 512: The Probation

    Gavin was still disgusted by the sight he saw of the spy and the guard and he wondered when they started their affair and why they were so comfortable doing it in his office so while they begged he asked them when their affair started."It's my fault, I was horny and she noticed it and offered to help,” the guard said to Gavin and Gavin was evenly disgusted that he could not ask them further question so he forgave both of them but his guard was to serve a punishment of running round his apartment 15 times for disrespecting his space."Next time you do this, you will be dead, got that!” Gavin yelled at his guard while he was serving his punishment, the spy apologized for the discomfort and said that it was just one of her tactics to dismiss him so that he would not eavesdrop on their conversation.Gavin was impressed by how her mind worked and looked forward to working with her because he had a very good system of confidentiality which he needed, she was also not looking like a spy or e

    Chapter 511: Harry Safety??

    When the call from the fixer ended, the chairman became concerned and began to blame himself for extending the call. He also blamed the staff who had given him the idea and threatened him that if anything happened to Harry, he would be the second dead body buried.The entire station was in chaos as they attempted to reconnect the call back to the fixer, but it was not going through, and the more the phone rang and no one answered, the more concerned they became for Harry's safety.The chairman immediately summoned Agentb6 to begin searching the area for clues, figuring that even though it was a dead end, it was still a path to finding the location of vengeance, and the chip they had asked their mole to insert into the system had also downloaded some files indicating Meghan's presence at Vengeance.Agent 6 returned to the chairman to confirm that the path did indeed have an extra 8 path at a junction; it was also a pattern, as four of the routes were dead ends, while the other five had

    The fact that they were the last remaining representatives from a vast group of 1,000 delegates made the delegates extremely happy; they had never thought they would be so fortunate to get this far, but they were thankful nonetheless."We are here to congratulate you on behalf of our boss, who requested that we assist you in preparing for the final exam." As soon as the delegates entered the room where they were waiting, the marking team informed them that they were clearly taken aback to see them enter rather than Gavin."Another test?" "I was expecting a reward, but I was not hearing about another test that was still coming," one of the delegated marking team members said, expressing surprise that there was still another test for them to complete.Another delegate also blurted out to the marking team, "I thought this was the last one," because he believed that the test was finished because it was so bloody and he was not prepared to shed any more blood because the ones he had shed

    Chapter 509: Wrong or Right choice

    Meghan's decision to stay surprised the fixer because he had hoped she would change her mind because the underground network's headquarters was a dangerous place to serve, and it was because she was a worthless asset that he sent her there so that her death would not affect the company's efficiency.The fixer could not explain why he was not fully allowing her to stay, but since she chose that path, he told her he would support her. Then he asked her why Gavin gave her an emerald pendant, which surprised Meghan because she had not told anyone about it except the commander who saw it, but the news had spread quickly and now the fixer was aware of it."What exactly did he tell you the pendant was for?" The fixer inquired of Meghan to see if she remembered who Gavin was and what their relationship meant to them."No, he said it was a reward for saving his life; should I return it and hope I do not get into trouble for accepting it?" Meghan inquired with the fixer because she had been hea

    Chapter 508: The Last Test

    The other delegates who had secured their chest were overjoyed that they had finally made their countries proud, and they pitted them against the other group, who were still struggling to get their own box.They were all fascinated by the person who grabbed the last box from where it was hanging, and how the person landed without any scratches. They wondered if the person would be able to grab the last chest without being stopped by another delegate.When he landed, the marking team was all fascinated by how he was able to get the seemingly impossible box, and the fact that he landed without injury piqued their interest even more, but they, like everyone else, wanted to know if he was going to get the chest before the other delegates did.It was game on! The delegate with the box ran towards the chest, and one of the delegate who was good at archery took her bow and three arrows, aimed at him, and released the arrow at him; the arrow hit his leg and he fell down, but he continued to
