"Relax Mr Lionheart. You do not need to take my head for it." Barnabas said to Oliver as he managed to get free from Oliver's grasp. He coughed while he tried to adjust his tie. Oliver frowned as he looks at the man. He had no time for further nonsense."Speak! Where did you get the necklace?" Oliver asked. "Many years ago, I found it in an accident Scene. It was tested by fire but yet, the large emerald in the center remained as perfect as it was. There was some blood stains on it but I had to clean them off..." Barnabas stopped and looked at Oliver who was frowning."I believe this belonged to your mother." He said to Oliver. "I kept it safe all these years. But now you have to pay for it." He added."How much?" Oliver asked him. Barnabas smiled."Now we're talking business. You see, I've done a lot of work trying to keep it safe...""How much!" Oliver Barked."One hundred million dollars." Barnabas said to him."Fine. Bring me that necklace immediately." Oliver said to him."Not w
Oliver sat down quietly on the sofa. He tried to be calm, but the adrenaline coursing through his vein defeated this motive. He slowly took a glass of wine and sipped from it, and when he heard footsteps approaching from behind, he decked hus head a little in response."Mr Lionheart, you called for me?" Rebecca asked as she came into view. She was dressed in a short blue gress which was rather revealing. She wore extra makeup, and wore a very big smile. She felt wierd smiling when Oliver kept a poker face, but she did not relent."Sit down." Oliver said calmly. Rebecca giggled as she took her seat. She watched Oliver carefully when he stood up and started pacing around."When I brought you here what did I tell you? I said that I would protect you, did I not? I would keep you safe. I even saved you from that bastard husband of yours...""Yes, and I am most grateful..." Rebecca cut him off but Oliver shot her a glare."I was not finished." He interrupted. Rebecca was taken aback. She co
The collector quickly packed his bags and rushed to the car. His business in the city was done and as agreed, Viktor Grey has sent the money. He smiled as he threw his stuff into the bunk of the car. It was sure nice to be a collector. "Three hundred million!" He gasped as he thought about the money. He could not believe that he was that rich."Perhaps I might finally get that retirement Afterall." He said and smirked. The collector quickly dashed into his car, wore his seat belt and tried to drive off, but then he noticed that his keys were not with him."Looking for these?" Oliver asked from the back seat and dangled the keys. The collector gasped when he saw Oliver. He immediately tried to get out but Marv showed himself and held a gun at hand."Mr Lionheart, I didn't expect to see you today. Is anything the matter?" The collector asked as he chuckled nervously. Oliver did not smile."Where the necklace, Barnabas?" Oliver asked. The collector smiled but his heart was racing."I, u
Rebecca sighed as she sat on the roadside. She chuckled when she thought of how miserable her life was. How dare Oliver send her out? Rebecca felt a wave of anger come upon her and she was not going to let Oliver defeat her. She picked up a phone and dialed a number. The number rang, and someone picked up the call."Yes?" She heard Viktor Grey's voice say from the other side. "I'm stranded. I need a place to stay." She said to Viktor who did not say a thing. Rebecca counted her breath through the silence before she scoffed."Won't you even say anything?" She asked Viktor Grey."I am not in the mood to entertain a visitor tonight. You can find somewhere else to stay. I'll speak with you in the morning." Viktor added."A visitor? I am your daughter. I am your own flesh and blood. How can you call me a visitor?" Rebecca's voice was starting to break. What was happening? She felt the world collapsing on her."So you claim. I am yet to verify your facts my own way." Viktor told her."Wow.
The collector dashed into Viktor Grey's office despite the guard's effort to keep him out. He breathed hard and fast as Viktor observed him, arms crossed across his chest."Yes? What are you doing here Barnabas?" Viktor asked the collector but the man stood transfixed. He whispered something that Viktor could not make out before he suddenly lunged at Viktor's table."The necklace. I need the necklace. Give it to me!" The collector yelled but Viktor Grey remained perfectly still. He just kept looking at the collector."What do you mean? We already have an agreement and I have paid for the necklace. I cannot give it to you. You should leave." Viktor said but the collector was not ready to relent. He scratched his head eagerly before he started pacing around the room."He came to me. Oliver Lionheart. That bastard. He came to me and he took all of my money. I cannot live like this. I want to give him the necklace and perhaps he will forgive me if I do. So, please, give it to me." The col
Viktor Grey rushed out of the office as he tried to beat time. He had a very important meeting that could not afford to delay any longer. He quickly stepped out and headed straight for his car, but before he could get inside, he saw three SUVs approaching them in High speed.Viktor Grey frowned. Who the hell would be so stupid to try and get that much of attention? He just kept looking at the SUV while they parked in front of Grey Pharmaceuticals, and as soon as Oliver stepped down from one of them, Viktor frowned."Either you're a fool, or you're just disrespectful. Which is it?" Viktor asked Oliver as Oliver stepped closer to him, a word not escaping his mouth in reply at first. He took a good look at Viktor's men and chuckled."I wonder how it is that you have so much wealth, and yet manage to employ the worst people. These guys cannot protect you if things go wrong. So, you'd better be careful about how you speak to me." Oliver stated and Viktor shook."How dare you speak to me i
The door opened slowly and Rebecca walked in. Viktor Grey was still panting, and when Rebecca saw the dead bodyguard on the ground, she covered her mouth to stop herself from retching. The room oozed of blood and death. How was Viktor still standing there, she wondered."What happened here?" She asked as she settled herself. Viktor Grey turned around, saw her and frowned."Where the hell have you been? Why did you not send in some sort of report or get over here as soon as possible?" He asked her and eh scoffed."I did not realize that I was under your employment. I have the freedom to do whatever I chose to do and you cannot dictate that for me. I am not some worker of yours." She shot back. Viktor Grey slowly touched his gun and her eyes caught it. She smiled as she looked at him."Really gonna shoot me, huh? Well, do it. You have no regard for morals, you said that yourself. Kill me and you will never get to hear what I have to say." She stated, and Viktor arched a brow."What do y
"Boss, she's here." Marv said to Oliver as he sat down in his office. He looked up and gazed at Marv for a moment, and thought about his option for a moment. Then he sighed and nodded."Send her in." He said to Marv who nodded and walked away. Olives gazed at the door as he heard voices from behind the door. He watched carefully, until the door opened and a tall, young woman walked into the room. She wore a beautiful black dress that exposed most of her thighs, and breasts, and she was bald. She smiled when she saw Oliver."Mr Lionheart. It is a please to finally meet you in person.", She said to Oliver and approached. Oliver smiled."Minerva. You look even more stunning in real life." Oliver commented and she blushed. "Don't flatter me, Mr Lionheart. We both know who it is that owns the streets these days. How you find me?" She asked Oliver and shook hands with him. Then she slowly sat down, looked around the office and focused her gaze on Oliver again."I did my research. I had to
"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.
