"Hmph," she snared at him, angrily placing her elbow on the table and supporting her jaws with her hands as though it was about to drop down from her head. Gavin's little speech had her both surprised and angered.

The both of them stared at each other for close to two minutes, both waiting for each other to speak first. Gavin moreso really wanted to know just what she would decide on it.

"So, what do you say?" He asked. "I did not come over here to come look at you only. I really need to know your decision on it so we can move along."

She laughed at the top of her voice again. In Gavin's mind, he was beginning to believe that her laughter was more or less a coping mechanism for her to deal with the rejection. She truly did not find anything funny.

"Well let's see here," she said, clasping her hands together, with fingers with red long nails on it. "You want me to help your wife and her family out of jail? The same woman and the same people who assaulted me and wanted to throw me in

    It was late in the evening when two cars came jostling down a road and stopped just right in front of the hospital. Some men came out of the car wearing ski masks, banged on the gates of the hospital, and came back to one of the cars, swiftly getting in and driving away, leaving the other one behind.The gate man came out and was moderately shocked. He had seen this happen before, and now it was happening again. He called out to the medics of the hospital. "Come see, another one just happened," he said aloud.In the car were two thoroughly beaten looking people. Harry and James. They were unconscious, wounded, scratched at all places where their skin could be seen, except their faces, which were surprisingly all clear and rid of any wounds, like the mobsters just selected those parts away from being hit by any of them.The doctors and nurses of the hospital were shocked and in some weird way found it kind of amusing to look at. Just a few days ago, this same thing happened at the ho

    "Well we know of the City Express." James frowned. "A certain rat that we know all too well, works there. We had a brief altercation with him before we landed in this mess."Ron found interesting what James was saying, and decided to tell the two men his own tale of how he ended up in his present conditions."As you should know right now, I was ambushed as well by a group of ski mask wearing men, after I had an altercation with one of the security men under me. A man named Gavin. And if you meant him when you said you were attacked after having a confrontation with a man who works in the City Express, then, I would say that I am a bit confused.""Why would you say that?" Harry and James' interest were equally peaked at what he was saying, as it made them start linking lines and seeing that the man might even be talking about the same person they were talking about."Well the person who set me up as much as I know was a man named Gavin." Ron made a fist with his hands and banged on th

    Thomas was in his room when a hole in the floor was opened up, like a round door, in the ground, and someone came out if it, wearing a large black hoodie that shielded the person's face from being seen.Thomas did not panic. He knew only three people that could access that secret passage, and apart from him and Gavin, the other person was dead.The person revealed himself, pulling the hoodie off his face, and it was Gavin. Thomas' hands were grabbing on to a Cuban cigar as he usually always was."Jesus, Thomas" Gavin exclaimed. "Do you ever just not smoke?" "Coming from the person who just came out of the floor, you really are not supposed to be the one asking questions. I am." Thomas took a large gulp of smoke in to his lungs again."Well, good you got me" said Gavin, "walking towards a chair at the corner of Thomas' desk. "There are some important things I need to discuss with you about. You know I can't be seen going to your house, lest it brings up suspicions. So I thought of

    Thomas sat up, and decided to be real with Gavin. He dropped the cigar he was smoking on the table and began to tap it with his fingers."I hope you do know that you have been asking quite a lot of favours recently? And it's been less than a week. I have granted an investment deal to your wife, on your behalf. With the help from the bank you were able to rent a Bentley for one thousand dollars per hour. You were also able to get a Rolls Royce and a chauffeur to go with it with the help from the bank.""And so, what are you trying to imply?" Gavin raised his eyebrow."I am just saying that for something that is supposed to be on the low, as the secret you keep for your grandfather, you have been a little bit flamboyant about it. It's raising a lot of dust in the air, and people who can see it are asking a lot of questions. It's drawing a lot of attention from quarters of people who we should ordinarily not want to be asking questions.""So, is that not the reason I have instructions to

    "Very well." Thomas sighed. He conceded to Gavin, as he did not want to be the person that would go against the Roman's family wishes."I need you to make the call now," Gavin said to him, as though he could not trust Thomas on whether or not he would do what he had just instructed.Thomas reached out one hand and grabbed the telephone. On his other hand, he grabbed a book. Opening the book was a list of numbers, the phone numbers to be precise. Gavin was not surprised, born shocked on this. As the kind of man that he was, it was Thomas' duty to keep a list of very important people in case he needed anything. It could be said that most of these people did not know Thomas had their numbers in wait, just Incase, but they never appeared to be too surprised. He was really a man of the underworld, complete with everything it took.He found the Chief Of Police's number and dialled on it. The man did both pick up the call at first. But with a second round of beeping, he picked up the call.

    "What, Gavin? Why would you have me do that?" Thomas asked, shocked at Gavin's prescription on how to deal with the man."You do not have to judge me like that, Thomas" Gavin replied, falling back into his chair and having his arms sprawl out over it. " Can't you hear what he is saying? He does not believe that you are Thomas Winnicks. How do you think you are going to be able to prove it to him? By calling him on the one once again? No. You have to show him that you have the power to ruin his life. From there he would know that the person who just called him, is Thomas Winnicks, and he means business."This was what Gavin was willing to do, the length he was willing to go through, just to see his wife out of jail. Thomas looked at his eyes and saw that he was really serious about getting Meghan freed."Well, fine,then" Thomas said. "If it's power he wants to see, then power he must get. You should understand this, don't you? But I certainly will not be ruining his life for anything.

    The Stallions were in the cell. It had been two days since they were put in. They had not seen James and Harry for a long time and quite frankly had gotten really hopeless and frustrated about the situation. "I knew it!" Cried out Mr. Stallion in agony. "I knew it!" James and Harry were frauds. They have abandoned us here for dead. This is why we never should have trusted them. I was right all along.""Dad it's still too early to judge," said Megan, walking up to him.""For god's sake it's been more than two days, Meghan" Mr. Stallion pointed out. "It's still too early to judge," Meghan said back to him."Meghan you should give it a rest" Sophie cut in. "Look, I love Harry, and I respect his friend James, but if I have to go through another one day, and eat another one of this prison leftover meals, I swear to God that I would lose it.""I agree with Sophie," Mrs. Stallion said. "The food is largely just rubbish here."Right in the middle of their bickering among one another, one of

    At the counter of the police station, the police kept their phones for each member of the family to come pick up as they were free to do.Meghan could not bear with the excitement anymore, she immediately reached out and grabbed for herself her phone and dialled James number."Uh-uh, I hope you are not doing what I think you are doing" Mr. Stallion was clearly not supportive of Meghan trying to call James that early."But dad, we need to do some appreciation," Meghan protested. "You said it yourself, dad. Whoever had a hand in us getting released from prison you will appreciate. Well I am just doing it first because I know exactly who helped us. You don't have to worry about anything. I always knew James would deliver on his words." She dialled his number.James was lying on his sick bed, looking as lifeless as he had been when he was first treated, when he heard his phone begin to buzz just right over head. Painfully he reached out to get hold of it. He saw that the number calling w

    Chapter 518 : Gavin's World Tour Plans

    Gavin arrived at the restroom feeling uneasy and concerned about the call to his personal line; he kept the phone hidden because he was not allowed to have a private line because they wanted to track him with his phone and monitor his conversation, but these were just standard security measures that had been in place for decades of World supreme bosses prior to him.Gavin understood the system and did not want to defile it, but he also needed his own privacy as a person, and after learning about the plots between the head of the supreme boss council and his cohort, he had to be more vigilant and cautious with everyone he interacted with.Gavin entered one of the restroom doors and sat on the toilet cover, looking around to make sure no one was watching him as he removed the phone from his outfit and responded to it. Gavin was also very clever in that he used his handkerchief to cover the phone and bent his head down so that even if he was caught, he could easily explain that he had a

    The delegates were once again in a tight spot as they were about to take their final and most unexpected test of all; the marking team instructed them to stand in front of their boxes while the moderator explained what was going to happen.The moderator stated, "In each of these boxes, there is a paper that says welcome to the team in 10 cheats, while the other 5 chests contain incentive rather than welcome to the team. Although we are aware of how some of you received the boxes, it was entirely up to your luck whether you chose the correct or incorrect box." As the moderator spoke, they all began to shake and were very concerned about what was in their box.All the delegates began to mutter among themselves because they could not believe that the chest they fought and died for might be worth nothing in the end "So, after everything that happened yesterday, I would not still join the team," one of the delegates thought to himself as he looked at his chest again and reassessed it with

    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

    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

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.
