Pascal clicked furiously on the computer. He was visibly tired, but he didn't want to stop. Mia had asked for his help, and he was not going to disappoint her.

"Why are you going through the old Lionheart files?" Rhea, his partner asked while looking over his shoulder. Pascal shot her a disapproving look.

"It's none of your business, Rhea. And why do you always do that, sneak up on me?" He asked, frustrated.

"Maybe I like your reaction every time. You have been working on this stuff since last night. Why don't you just go home and get some sleep?" Rhea asked him.

"Don't worry. I'm fine. Now that I think about it, you did not go home last night. Why did you stay behind?"

"I was waiting for you dummy. I wanted to make sure you do not burn yourself out. I forgot you are extremely capable, and that's why you made detective in the first place." She commented. Pascal smiled.

"But seriously, this case is like a decade ago. Why are you looking into it?" Rhea asked him. He offered her a seat

But there she was inside club Laplace, drinking to the merry and chill she had lacked for the past weeks."You should call off the wedding immediately. How could he do this to you? Gerald is such a liar and a petty man." Her friend, Rosa, scoffed as she drank from her champagne. Rosa was one of Elina's closest friend, and wore a matching green shirt as her. Love, or pretence?"To think that a company worker called you to tell you the story. That is just so sad. What are you going to do now?" Lena, another of her friends asked. Bo

They did not want to be around for whatever it was that was about to happen.Gerald walked towards one of them and grabbed her by the hair.

It has been a very long time since he had actually visited, judging by the number of things that had happened in the past."You're welcome to the Lionheart residence, sir. However we were not expecting you." The butler who stood by the door said to him. "I came here to see Isaiah Lionheart. Let him know of my arrival. I'm sure he would want to meet with me." Viktor announced. The Butler, however, was not ready to oblige to his command."I have orders not to let anyone into the residence, sir. I do hope you understand, but you need to leave now. The patreon is resting." The Butler said to him. Viktor Grey grabbed the butler by the neck and slammed him into the door.

With a bloodshot eyes, he noticed the gun Viktor was holding and immediately after their eyes met, Viktor furrowed his brow and kept it away.

Everyone that was a part of the Table.Oliver's words rang again in his ears, "How dare he try to give me money?" Viktor grunted.The shelter home was none of his concern anymore. They should all die and fragment for all he cared! It was just for public eye since the beginning. How did the masked brat know about the shelter in the first place?Viktor felt like he had better use for his money instead of taking care of vermin that were on the streets. What did they expect him to do, take care of the entire world like he was their king?"Fucking bigots!" He grunts again.Last time he heard from the shelter, he had told her he wasn’t the cause of their misfortune, and he would do whatever he can only when he wants to help."How long has it been?"

    "How is the child holding up?" Jake asked Viktor Grey over the phone while he fixed his attention on Stacy. The little child was obviously terrified, and the constant dripping of water from the leaking pipes made her even more unsettled."She is coping better than I imagined. Now all that is left is for us to kill that bastard cop and Oliver with it," Viktor Grey said to him."I know that Oliver will reach out soon. And when he does, I will be ready for him.

    "This can be a trap. Tell me why I must believe you," Oliver asked her and Beth sighed. She could not believe that she was making some sort of negotiation with Oliver."Left for me, you will be behind bars right now. But I am doing this for Steven and I am breaking my code to do it so do not make it harder than it already is," she said to him and Oliver smiled."I like you.

    "Like we said earlier, we do not allow anyone without an invitation to pass. I don't care if you are the chief of police. You are not stepping into this house," the guard repeated and that made Steven to wonder just how bad it is that the police force in Marshtown had fallen. If they could have no respect for his badge, then he just had to beat the living shit out of them"Let me pass. I will not ask you again," Steven said to the guards. One of them brought out his gun and gazed at Steven with fierce eyes."You need to leave now, mister or we will have a oribkemy," he said to Steven and just as Steven was about to make a move at them, the front door opened.. it was the judge"Let him through. He and I have some catching up to do," the judge said and the bodyguards let Steven pass. Steven followed the judge to The living room and there the judge settled himself into a chair. He even appeared to be Richer than he was some months ago."I can see that you are back from the dead, Steven.

    "Chief, what are you doing here?" Steven asked the chief as he slowly approached him. The chief paid close attention to the files that was in Steven's hands and then his eyes roamed to Steven's."Don't tell me you still plan on pursuing that case. I told you it was dangerous, Steven and you do not want to listen to me. That case will get you killed," the chief said and Steven dropped the files in his hand. He paid a closer look to the chief and for real he could see worry in the man's face."I don't understand. Why are you telling me all of this?" He asked the chief really desperate for answers. The chief sighed."When the tiger gang found out that you were following them, they planned to have you killed. They reached out to me and asked me to do the job otherwise they would kill my family. I tried to beg them but they were adamant. They would not take no for an answer. So, I made up my mind about you," the chief stopped, and then observed the dark face that Steven was wearing at that

The warmth of the place enveloped her and for a moment, she was feeling secure."I still don't understand why I'm hwre. I told you I was fine. You didn't need to go through all of this for me," she told him."Nonsense. You were lucky that day that you stepped out to get coffee while he explosion occurred. If Oliver's enemies wanted to know something about him, who do you think will be in the best position to tell them what's happening with him? Of course it's his secretary. I want to keep you safe so that no harm will come to you," he added. Avira could feel her heart melting. But she refused to admit it."Well in that case, I hope there is something to drink.

A waiter asked him and then oliver smiled."Good evening. I am looking for this table," he said and then showed her the number on the envelope. The girl smiled at him again."Please come with me sir," she said and then led him away.

He knew who they were immediately, they were part of Jake's group."In here sir," she said to him and Oliver Stepped into the room that she was pointing towards. As soon as he entered the well decorated space, he looked around.There were beautiful lighting all over the place and the large chairs

    "So you mean to tell me that that lowlife cop decided to show again in my town?" Jake asked over the phone and the chief of police sighed"I gave him explicit warnings and told him not to ever return to this town but he did not listen. I don't know how he managed to work his way back. My instructions were very clear on him sir. That cop Should never set foot in Marshtown, that was what I said." The chief of police stated and Jake laughed."It seems like he is begging to die. I suppose that I should Grant his wish then. If he wants death, who am I to say that I will not kill him?" He said to the chief of police."Give him some time sir. I am sure that I can persuade him to return to St Lambert's City. He cannot gain anything from being here. He will only make things worse. He came back and started accusing the tiger gang of being responsible of some crimes. I will take care of him myself. You do not need to worry," the chief of police stated. He wanted to save Steven's life at least.
