"Enough with the lies Viktor. It does not look good on you. We both know that there is nothing you could possibly give to me. You just want to chase a dream into nothingness. The table will never be reinstated and that is final." Oliver told him "You can't just decide to do that. I built the table with my sweat. I put in a lot of effort to see that it worked. I had to do terrible things to make sure I become the head the table deserved and you just appeared out of nowhere and you start causing trouble. I will incite a war against you, Oliver. Do not think that I will just sit tight and watch you destroy everything that I have built." He said to Oliver."I have destroyed it already. You are a bit late in your mission. What is done is done." Oliver old him and hung up the phone. He could not believe the guts Viktor Grey had. He just dropped the phone and typed furiously on his computer.Then the door opened, and Marv walked inside. He held some files in his hand and presented them to O
Pascal could not shake off the strange words that Evan had spoken to him. Why was the man acting so distant? He sighed and shrugged it off. Pascal Checked his time. It was already far spent. He sighed as he took his phone to call Mia. It was supposed to be their dinner but ever since, things had been falling apart. He wanted to call her but he did not know what to say. So, Pascal just sighed and dropped the phone on the table. But then, the phone rang. It was Mia."Speak of the devil and she shall appear," he said and chuckled."Were you thinking about me?" She asked him and he sighed."I was. I wanted to invite you to dinner. I'm sorry for the way I left the other day. I was just caught up with work and I could not wait any longer. So, what do you say? I want to treat you." He told her and she smiled on the other side of the phone."You were a real dick last time though. I was scared of you for a moment. It was my first time seeing the detective side of you and for some strange reas
Pascal groaned as he opened his eyes. He was placed in the center of a large room with very dim lightning. The room was well ventilated, and from the way it seemed, it was like an abandoned hotel. Pascal tried to move from his sitting position but he soon saw that he was strapped to a chair. Where was he exactly? He asked himself."Hello, cop. We did not want to ruin your sleep earlier so we had to let you have the best time of your life. But now that you are awake, I guess it is time to get straight to business," Veronika said to him without a smile on her face. She walked closer and that was when Pascal saw the rest of the women gazing at him. "Where am I? Who are you people?" He asked. Veronika approached him and gazed into his eyes."We are people who you do not need to concern yourself with when we are done with our business. All we ask is that you cooperate and everything will be just fine. Now, where is she?" Veronika asked."Where is who?" Pascal asked back."The matron. Ivy.
Chapter 92Pascal slowly opened his eyes and sighed. The monitor kept beeping, and he rolled his head to the side of the hospital room. There was no one there at the moment, and the room was quite cold. He sighed again, and groaned as he tried to stand up from the bed, but the pain he felt nearly ended him. He crashed back on to the bed."I would not do that if I were you," he hears Oliver say as he stepped into the room. Oliver took a seat and sat down opposite Pascal's bed. He looked at the young man keenly, and slowly folded his arms. Pascal's eyes roamed to the side of the room to find hua gun, but he did not find it anywhere in sight."Looking for this?" Oliver asked as he brought out Pascal's gun. Pascal frowned when he saw the weapon in Oliver's hand. He tried to stand up again and still, failed miserably."Where's Mia?" Pascal asked Oliver."She is resting. I sent her home. She does not need to be here." Oliver responded."And where is here, exactly? Did you kidnap an officer
"Oliver Lionheart, have you come to mock me?. because if you have, then you have failed. I am more optimistic than ever." Ivy shot back at Oliver who just smiled. She frowned as she gazed upon him. Oliver walked closer to the bars keeping her in and placed his hands on them."Ivy. Former matron of one of the most fierce families out there, a Mastermind, and a poison's powerhouse. What happened to you, Ivy? Did you fall from grace?" Oliver asked her and laughed. She yelled at him and punched the wall."Why don't you come in here and I'll show you just how much I've fallen. Tell me, Mr Lionheart, did you lock me in here? " she shot back."No, and that is no way for a lady to behave, especially towards someone who might have the answers to your problem.""I do not want anything from you. There is nothing you could possibly offer that would change just how low and dirty you are. You disgust me, Oliver Lionheart. You think that you are better than anyone else, you think you are stronger, w
Viktor Grey drove his car to another part of the city, almost in the suburbs. He could see the vast area of land lying there just waiting to be used, and he immediately had ideas and plans to steak it from the owners. He was a billionaire, no one would dare stand up against him.He drove further until he got to a little house in the left side of a tiny street. The house was built with wood, quite large and very beautiful. Viktor Grey stepped down from the car and pulled a face cap on. He slowly approached the house and kept looking around for some sort of attack. He got to the door, rang the doorbell and waited for a moment.Then, the door opened."Hello, Jonathan," Viktor said and smiled at the man that opened the door. The man froze when he saw Viktor Grey."What are you doing here?" He asked Viktor who scoffed."What? You're not gonna let me in?" He asked, but the man frowned even more."I want you out of this house, now. You are not welcome here. Leave now!" Jon said to Viktor Gre
The court buzzed as the large armoured truck drove towards the court. Reporters and journalists rushed to the truck with their recording devices ready. As soon as the truck was opened and Ivy stepped out, they began to throw questions at her. The police just led her through the crowd and took her inside. On her way in, she saw Oliver and smiled at him. Oliver just gazed at her, and the terrible noises coming from the reporters made him sigh."Do you think it is a good idea, making a deal with her?" Mia asked him. Oliver just kept gazing at the Crowd."It is the only option i have for now if I want to catch the one that tried to murder me." He told her."Ivy is a very dangerous person. She is not someone you're even supposed to meddle with. I pray it all goes well today," she said and sighed, and then looked over her shoulders."Waiting for someone?" Oliver asked her. She exhaled and brushed her hand on her hair."Yes, there are some new interns that I must access today. I do not know
"Stay here. Wait for me," Oliver told Mia who looked around in surprise. "Where are you going?" She asked him, unsure of what to do. It was mayhem around them and they really should stick together."I have to check something out. Wait for me and don't go anywhere." He told her and dashed out of the scene in pursuit of the strange man. Oliver crossed the road quickly and followed the man who walked faster than he should."Boss, I could not find anyone. It seems like the person is a ghost," Marv said over the the comms."He's not a ghost, Marv. I think I have eyes on him right now." Oliver said as he kept walking. He kept a good distance so that the man would not notice on time. "Do you need assistance, sir?" Marv asked Oliver."Don't worry. Go take care of Mia. She is in the court. Make sure no harm comes to her." He commanded."Yes, boss." Marv said and hung up. Oliver did not relent in his chase. He followed the man as the man took a stride into another street, but by then, he noti
"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. You have dozens of my men to guard you there. You will be fine," Jake told Viktor Grey and then hung up. As soon as he did, Viktor returned his attention to Stacy.She whimpered and dragged herself back as he approached her..he had a wicked laugh on his face."Don't be afraid little one. I will not hurt you. I just want to hurt your daddy and the man he works with. You see, I used to have a daughter like you. Her name was Elina. She was very beautiful and she was brilliant. But the man your daddy works with killed her and so, I wa
"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. Come with me," he told her and then led her to his study. Miranda was there clicking furiously on the systems there.. when Beth approached, she stopped what she was doing and then gazed at Beth for a while."Miranda, meet Beth, Beth Miranda. She's our eyses in the sky. I have a feeling that you'll both be friends. Beth, tell me where you think Stacy is," Oliver asked."Somewhere in St Lambert's City. The tiger gang has a secret hideout in St Lambert's that they use for various dangerous activities. My best guess would be that they brought her here to avoid suspicion from the cops. Besides, it was probably a diversi
"Heard what?" Oliver could feel his anger rising. The heat in the room suddenly increased and when he approachd Pascal, Pascal jerked back to avoid the possible punch that was coming his way "I did not know about Mia. I am really sorry Oliver. I am broken beyond what you can imagine. And I am furious! I am so furious that I wan to vent my anger on someone and I don't know who," Pascal said to him."And why are you here then? To vent your anger on me?" Oliver asked while raising his eyebrow. Pascal sighed defeated as his shoulders dropped."No, not at all. I just came here to help you in your mission.. I know that you will not sit tight and watch those who killed her be at peace. I know that you will destroy them. So I want to join you. Please Oliver forgive me. I need your forgiveness. I know that I do not deserve it but I just want you to please forgive me," he said to oliver. Oliver did not feel his anger subside, not even for a moment. He gazed at Pascal again and Wondered what mi
"No, fuck! This cannot he happening to me!" Steven tried to breath as the words found their way out of his mouth but he just could not fathom the degree of pain that he was feeling. Anger would not help him at that time he thought. Jake had decided to Target his family and the only way that he was getting his family back was if met Jake's forces with one that was equal to the task, or if he surrenders.Steven quickly took the phone. He dialed Oliver's number and waited for him to pick up the phone."Steven," Oliver said as soon as he picked us up."Oliver. He has my daughter. That bastard has taken my daughter and I do not know what to do. He said he'll send me a location to meet with him and I have to decide whether or not I'll give my life for her," Steven blurted out."Take it easy Steven. Nothing will happen to your daughter or to you. I will ensure it," Oliver told him."But what can you do? Jake said that you cannot help me. My only option is to die for my daughter to live. I ha
"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
"Come in, you will be safe here," Bill said to Avira. She gazed into the well furnished apartment before she stepped inside. 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. Where are we exactly?" She asked him."This is my house. I come here sometimes to relax for a moment and then focus my thoughts." He told her."You are really loyal to Oliver. You literally forget to live
Oliver drove his car to the address on the envelope. It was an expensive restaurant, one that he had planned to visit with Mia after their honeymoon. He shoved back the painful thoughts and then stepped down from the car. Oliver gazed the entrance one more time and then stepped into the restaurant."Good evening sir, how may I be of assistance?" 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. Oliver followed her closely, and as they walked through the scanty place, he could feel the eyes of some people on him. 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.
