Elina stood beside her father as the door slowly opened. She grabbed his shirt and shuddered while Oliver stepped into the room. His eyes were not friendly, and the dark distant stare in his eyes made Viktor Grey to become downcast. He was terrified of Oliver's presence and nothing was stopping that emotional outrage."Oliver, what are you doing here? This is a surprise. I was not expecting you today," Viktor Grey said to Oliver who Just Kept glaring at them. Then his eyes rolled to Elina who shuddered and Clung to her father."Viktor, I did not come here for much. I only came here to collect a single thing," oliver told him and stepped closer. Viktor Grey let out a bothered cackle"And what could that be then? He asked Oliver and when Oliver drew a gun, Elina screamed. She fell down and whimpered. Viktor Grey tried his best to remain standing but he was starting to lose his balance."I came here for your life," he said to Viktor Grey. "and hers too" Oliver added while pointing the gu
"What a mess this is," Clara said to Steven and sighed. She gazed at the burnt car and tried not to look too hard at the skeleton that was in the driver's seat. She suddenly felt nauseous and turned away to puke."Easy there Clara, this is not the first graphic thing you have seen," he said to her and then proceeded to crouch close to the car. He did not touch anything, but he used his pen to dig out a nearly burnt purse from the ashes."Found something?" She asked him as she approached. Steven stood up and showed the purse to her. He opened it and saw some burnt cash, condoms, other things which he did not even know what they were and then finally he saw an ID card"Elina Grey," Steven voiced out. "Why does that name sound so familiar?" He asked himself."Because it is. Elina Grey is the heiress to Grey's Pharmaceuticals. She is the daughter of Viktor Grey and the sole heiress. How did she end up dead here? Something is not adding up," Clara said to herself."What's not adding up?" S
Steven zoomed through the streets like there was someone pursuing him. He kept looking at the rear mirror and kept his head steady. His heart kept thumping as he anticipated his meeting with oliver. He did not know how it would go, and something told him that it won't go well.As soon as he drove to the mansion, he sighed. The shadow at the gate gazed at the incoming car and frowned deeply."Yes? Who are you and what do you want?" He asked Steven who drove slowly toward the gate."My name is detective Steven. I want to see oliver," he said to the Shadow while showing his badge, but the shadow did not even blink. He kept gazing at Steven like he was saying nonsense."My boss gave me strict instructions not to let anyone in. I'm afraid you have to come back another day," the shadow said to Steven who scoffed."Listen there friend. I don't think you understand what is at stake here. I have a gruesome scene of a murder down the road and another report of a gunfight. I am not asking you to
"Oh you heard me Steven. I want to give you your daughter back. What was her name again? Ah yes, Stacy," Oliver said to him and Steven just froze on the spot. So many questions roamed in his head and he had no idea how Oliver knew about his daughter."How did you know about my daughter? Did you look into my profile?" He asked oliver who chuckled lightly. He then smiled at Steven."So, you really expected that I will not conduct a thorough investigation on the cop who is determined to bring me down? I am a man who learns through experiences. I once had someone like you in my life. It was a rocky friendship at first but then it got better, until it got worse again. Well, as for you, it's quite different," Oliver told him and then proceeded to drink from the bottle but when he realized that it was empty, he groaned in frustration. Steven just observed everything."Your name is Steven McComb. You were born and raised in Marshtown, perfect grades, impeccable charisma. You just could not si
The events of the previous hours sent Viktor Grey into a frenzy. He kept hearing his own breath as the cab drove him through the streets of Marshtown. Imagaes from the scene hit him again, when he dragged himself out of the car, Elina's screams as she tried to free herself when where she was stuck, the dripping of the fuel as Oliver approached, and her piercing screams while the flames ravaged her body and the car exploded."Ah!" Viktor Grey groaned. He looked around while the cab driver looked at him through the mirror."Are you alright sir?" The cabbie asked him but Viktor Grey just sighed. His eyes were red while he fought back tears. He wanted vengeance by all means and he was going to get it."Are we there yet?" He asked the cabbie who sighed."Not yet sir. The hotel of Lutz is the most monumental building in all of Marshtown. However I am curious what you are going there to do. Although it is a hotel, I heard it is an invite only kind of place. And quite frankly, you don't look
Viktor Grey nearly choked on his own saliva when he heard the words. He could not understand the logic behind what Lutz had told him just now. He tried to compose himself as best as he could for he could not afford to lose his cool in front of Lutz."I am afraid that I may have become quite deaf after my accident. My ears are deceiving me. I heard you say that you will not avenge your brothers. Is that correct?" Viktor Grey asked again and Lutz whistled a note. He got up to get himself another drink and then took the wine he was drinking and then strolled to a chair. He sighed loudly while drinking."Yeah. You heard me. I will not avenge my brothers. They are dead already. I see no reason why I should pick up a fight that they initiated with their stupidity." Lutz replied and Viktor Grey almost collapsed."What? I don't understand. The traditions of your family demands that you pick up from where they left off and then destroy their enemies. You fail to do your duty if you do not honou
"Mother? What's wrong with her?" Lutz asked Jake who stepped closer to him, sending Viktor Grey a glare that bore deep into his being."Mother just died. She passed away this evening. There was nothing I could do. The doctors said that she was terminal and money could save her no more. Not that Yi ever asked." Jake accused and they darkened Lutz's face"What the fuck does that mean? I checked up on mother every single time. I did the best that I could do for her as a son!" Lutz yelled at his brother."You did not do enough! You happened to do the very thing she hated the most, you betrayed our blood. What did you think would happen if you were to abandon the rest of us?" Jake screamed at him and Lutz jumped up. Viktor Grey saw the altercation and he just watches the brothers go at it."What are you accusing me of? Are you trying to say that I am an unfilial son? Do not make any accusations that you cannot defend. I will not take it lightly with you even if you are my brother." He said
As soon as Oliver hung up, he turned to Bill and nodded. Outside the large building that seemed like an abandoned factory, the shadows stood there. They were armed to the teeth. Oliver, not drinking at that time still ached for some wine. Grief was still new in his heart and he knew that he just had to be patient with himself."Let's go, Bill. It's their lives for my freedom," he said to him and Bill nodded."Look, boss, you know that I will always obey what you say to me, and tell me to do. But I think that this is getting out of hand. We do not attack without a just vauser, or wasn't that the deal? Why are we attacking these people?" Bill asked Oliver."The tiger gang has constantly terrorized people in Marshtown. They have been in power here for a very long time and they have done a lot of evil. They have influence everywhere, the police, the law, hospitals, to mention but a few. But then, one particular thing was of interest. The cop that managed to track me down had his entire li
