Serveral dignitaries troped into the large hall that Oliver had built specifically for his party. The hall was gigantic, and stood at the centre of an open space in St Lambert's City. There were several lightnings and all seemed to flicker and reflect the greed and dirt of the people inside the room.But what actually caused the whispers was that even in the hall, dressed beautifully as well, were several homeless people. They ran around eating as much as they could and that made the rich folks stare at the in disgust. None of them offered to help some of the homeless establish a better future. They all glared at them like vermin."Are you still with us on this?" Stefano asked Gerald as they drank from the expensive red wine that was in their hands. The wine tasted very nice."What do you mean If I'm still with you? I have been with you from the very beginning. Why would I back down now?" Gerald retorted. He did not like Stefano's tone."I'm sorry, Gerald. I just wanted to confirm. Pl
"What the hell do you think you're doing? Do you want to ruin my party?" Oliver barked at Gerald. The eyes of spectators were already on them, and Gerald could feel how small he was compared to Oliver. He tried to measure the worth of Oliver's outfit and he soon figured out that it was one of a kind.The suit was handmade, and it had perfect embroidery. The shoes were handmade and the leather used were from the rarest leather. It would take several hours of painstaking expertise to get it done. "She was trying to run her mouth. I had to put her in her place." Gerald said to Oliver as Oliver let go of his arm forcefully. Gerald groaned as Oliver did, and he could barely see through the mask that covered Oliver's face."It is not in your power or your place to correct my guests. If you have any issue with them, report it to me and I will handle it. Need I remind you that you are also a guest here. Do not make me fling you out." Oliver threatened. Gerald just nodded and backed down."Ar
"A toast to the wonderful things that we will be building together. A toast to rhe many great things yet to come. I know that a lot of you are here, and you want to ruin this plan. I know that some of you are not really happy. But the thing is you cannot do anything about it. It's time for a new era, so you're either in or out." Oliver said and slowly raised his glass up. He smiled as he gazed at the faces in the room."Raise your glasses if you would like to be a part of this innovation. It's your choice and you are absolutely free to do whatever you want." He said and kept gazing. Slowly, the people in the room raised their glasses. They knew that they still needed Oliver more than anything. They knew that they were at his Mercy, and so when he asked, they quickly raised them."Raise your cup." Viktor said to Elina as he slowly raised his up."But you said not to drink." She said to him."Raising the cup is not the same as drinking from it!" Viktor Grey snapped at her."Fine!" She
"What is going on?" Rebecca asked no one in particular. She quickly dropped the glass that was in her hand as more people retched. She quickly looked around, but Viktor Grey was no longer there, and so was that bitch daughter of his."Fuck! He set me up!" She gasped as she staggered back. She crashed into someone and turned to look. It was Gerald. He was as confused as she was. Suddenly, Rebecca felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She groaned as she fell. The pain continued to build as she screamed. The entire room was filled with screams."Did you know about this?" She yelled a Gerald who just froze with his own cup. First, Oliver had ruined his plan and now this? He did not know what to think anymore."Fuck!" Oh no! What the hell is happening?" He staggered back, and suddenly, his own cup fell from his hand. "No no no!" He yelled as he crashed to the ground, groaning. Rebecca was already retching and Gerald gazed in terror.Oliver froze as he watched his guests like their guts out. H
"What?!" Viktor Grey yelled. The man on the other side of the phone did not respond as Viktor drove into a fit of anger. At the side of the room, Elina watched her father carefully. She was actually curious to know what was wrong."What happened?" Viktor Grey asked the man. The man seemed to be hiding from something as he whispered his words."I managed to run outside just before Oliver shut the door. Your plan actually worked sir, but Oliver Lionheart shattered it. He managed to come up with a plan that saved everyone's life. I do not know how he managed to do it. It was like a miracle!" The man said and Viktor Grey groaned. He punched the table and shattered it immediately. Elina jumped at the act."Father!" She called out, startled beyond words. Viktor Grey tried to maintain his cool but he was seriously losing the battle. He watched as his fist bled from the wound."What are we going to do now, sir? He has ruined our plans. How are we going to get back at him?" The man asked."You
"Ah!" Stefano groaned as a tall large shadow punched him in the face. Blood suddenly splashed from his mouth. His hands were tied above his head and he was suspended in the air by a large chain mounted to the roof.The room was dark, and the only source of light was an electric bulb that constantly flickered."Wait, please... Stop. I'll give you anything. I will pay anything." Stefano muttered as he breathed heavily. The tall Shadow looked at Bill for an order, and Bill nodded.Another punch knocked out three teeth from Stefano's mouth. He sobbed, while trying to open his inflamed eyes."Do you want money? I have money. I will give you anything you want. Just stop, let me go..." He begged while the large shadow got ready to mount another attack."You should have thought about the pain before you tried to kill me." Oliver said as he walked into the room. Marv trailed behind him. The smell of blood and fear hit Oliver as he Walked closer to Stefano. He stopped, dug his hands into his po
Oliver grabbed one of the guys and broke his arm as he quickly grabbed the gun off another. As he opened fire on them, Minerva managed to crawl to the other side of the car. She tried to look at what was happening, but the bullets flying all around prevented her. Suddenly, someone grabbed her shoulder. Minerva gasped as she looked back."Are you alright, Miss Minerva?" Marv asked her. Minerva froze while she gazed at him. It was actually the first time that she was taking a closer look at him and she was really surprised to see how good-looking he was. Or was it the adrenaline?"Miss Minerva?" He called again. She quickly blinked."Um, yes, I am fine." She said as she winced at her wounds. Marv took a closer look."It's just a scratch," She found herself whispering. Marv did not respond. He tore out a piece of his clothing easily and tied it around the wound. As he did, another Lexus pulled up and more of the killers opened fire on Oliver."I will be right back." Marv said and suddenl
Pascal dialed Mia's number. It rang severally but she was not picking up. He rushed out of the cab and quickly entered into the police station. The entire city was on fire over what had happened the previous night. The people were in a state of unrest, and the public shooting that had occurred some hours ago had almost led to a riot.Pascal could hardly find a clear route as he tried to get back to work. There were several hoodlums on the streets protesting that the police had failed them. One of the hoodlums nearly destroyed Pascal's window and he had to drive out of the scene in full speed."Hey, get over here. The boss wants us, now." A tall man Pascal recognised as Evan said to him. Evan was his new partner. His former partner has been sacked. "Why do you speak to me that way?" Pascal asked Evan who froze for a moment. They exchanged cold glances until Evan burst into a fit of laughter."Oh man, you should have seen your face. I was fucking with you. I do this to anyone I've wor
