Chapter 026- Minutes Before Tragedy "Really? This boy now knows how to throw money around," Madame Amelia mused as she settled onto a sofa with a remote control in hand. *Alaxar Clinic* "Hey Heiress, you're still here. You should head home - there's no point in sticking around," Dr. Vanessa said, peeling off her medical gloves. Her hands were as white as snow from the glove's powder fillings. Diane felt a surge of frustration at the doctor's words, but she held her composure. "What do you mean I should go home, Doctor? I won't leave here until I see my grandfather and take him home!" She exclaimed. "Heiress Diane," Dr. Vanessa said with a mischievous grin, placing a comforting hand on Diane's shoulder. "I've already explained that you can't enter the ward right now. Your grandfather is improving, and I urge you to trust us and leave so we can continue our work.'' "And ain't we supposed to know what happened to him? He couldn't have just passed out without a reason," Tempête
Chapter 027- Tragedy "Who are you!? Get your hands away from me!" he yelled.Both Vanessa and Amelia stumbled back in disbelief, their hands tightening around the tray to prevent the tranquilizers from spilling."I swear, that old man must have nine lives," muttered Eliza. "Eliza!" Grandpa Dominic blinked rapidly, trying to comprehend if this was all just a dream."Can you believe it? My own daughter-in-law tried to poison me with insecticide spray," Grandpa Dominic exclaimed in shock.Before Eliza ignited the gas cooker to start the fire at the Reed estate, she cunningly sprayed Grandpa Dominic's room with insecticide, disguising it as an air freshener. She knew that Grandpa Dominic, being elderly, wouldn't be able to move quickly and intended for the insecticide to render him unconscious, potentially leading to a tragic end in the ensuing fire.''Oh, you finally get to know it's an insecticide spray and not a perfume. Anyways you're going down today….I mean, right now.'' Eliza bar
Chapter 028- Late Reunion "You're Eliza Reed!?" he exclaimed, shooting a dangerous, dreadful stare at the woman. Eliza defiantly declared, "Yes, I am Eliza Reed. Does that explain why you pushed me to the wall?" She winced, rubbing her aching back. Logan's eyes widened in concern. "Oh my! I hope you haven't done anything to my grandfather?" he exclaimed, turning to the men behind him. "Stay here with her till I return. I want to check on Grandpa Dom. She must not move an inch," Logan commanded firmly. Logan sprinted at top speed to the VIP ward, following his urgent command. Eliza was taken aback and puzzled by the sudden rush, so she glanced at Rowe and Cody. "Where's he off to? Is he Log..." She was abruptly interrupted by Cody before she could finish her sentence. ''Will you keep shut or I step on your head, wicked soul.'' Cody barked. *VIP Ward* Logan's eyes widened in disbelief as he took in the sight of multiple unconscious bodies scattered across the ward fl
Chapter 029- Wendell Disastrous Visit"The president's son?" Logan interjected, clearly intrigued."Yes, that's the president's son? And where's the security guard?" Rowe asked as they pulled up to the hotel, feeling the tension in the air as they parked the car.Looking at Logan, who was clearly affected by his grandfather's passing, Rowe inquired, "What should we do with Lady Eliza? Should we leave her here in the trunk until morning?''Logan's expression hardened as he nodded. "Yes. She stays in the trunk. We'll deal with her later."As they stepped into the hotel reception, they were confronted with a startling scene. The receptionist, Katherine, was bound and gagged, her eyes wide with fear. Muffled sounds escaped her mouth as she struggled to talk.Cody hurried to her side. "What happened, Ms. Katherine? Who did this to you?''Logan observed Katherine's situation and said, "Mr. Cody, do you think she can talk with her mouth bound?"Quickly, Cody removed the gag from Katherine's
Chapter 030- A Visit To The Local Motel Logan quickly put the call on loudspeaker for everyone to hear, and gestured for silence, his heart pounding as they waited for the caller's next move.The room was so quiet that you could almost hear a pin drop. Both sides seemed to be locked in a battle of wills, waiting for the other to break the silence.Finally, the caller broke the tension. "I'm not surprised you're being rude, Mr. Logan Reed. Waiting for your elders to speak first, are you?" The voice on the other end had a mocking lilt to it."What do you want?" Logan's voice was like ice."You're the impatient type, aren't you?" the caller teased. "Aren't you going to ask who you're speaking with?""I've never cared about people's personalities, and I don't plan on starting now," Logan retorted with unwavering resolve."Even if you don't ask, I'll make it known anyway. I am Wendell Luther, son of Heralzia's President George Luther," the caller declared, sounding like he relished his ow
Chapter 031- A Face-off At The Motel"Hey big man," he called out, "We're looking for a guy named Thomas. We heard he might be around here."The thug sneered, taking a slow drag from his cigarette. "Yeah, he's the boss here. Why should I help you? What’s in it for me?"Logan, catching the hint, pulled out a few hundred-dollar bills and flashed them. "We’re willing to give you more.''The thug's eyes widened with greed at the sight of the cash. He shot a furtive glance at his companions before focusing back on Cody. "Alright, I might know where he is. But it's going to cost you more if you're looking to find him quickly."Logan nodded resolutely and handed over the money. "Just tell us where we can find him."With a sly smirk, the thug pocketed the cash and pointed toward a dingy room at the far end of the motel. "He's in there. But be careful, he's not exactly the friendly type.""Thanks, we know." Cody said, shooting a determined look at Logan and Rowe. "Let's go.''The trio navigate
Chapter 032- Two Versus FourAfter a moment, he relented, gesturing to the thugs with a wicked sigh. "Do as you wish with them!''The air crackled with tension as the thugs caught each other's eyes, brimming with a dangerous mix of surprise and anticipation. It was clear they were itching for a fight with Logan, Rowe, and Cody, who tensed in readiness. In a heartbeat, the burly thug with a menacing scar made his move, his fists poised for a brutal strike. Logan reacted with lightning speed, narrowly evading the incoming blow. "Stay away from the Young Master!" Rowe bellowed, launching himself at the thug closing in on Logan.The thug staggered, but his determination blazed fiercely. "You should make me stay away from him," he snarled, launching into a wild, reckless attack."Okay, wait and see!" Rowe said as he ducked and dodged, using his agility to evade the blows and land a series of rapid, strategic strikes to the thug’s torso, causing him to stagger backward.Meanwhile, Cody fo
The Gun OfferLogan leaned forward, his voice dropping to a whisper. "The president's son."Thomas couldn't believe it when he heard Logan mention the President's son. He quickly glanced around to make sure no one was listening. "Mr. Wendell?" Thomas repeated, feeling a bit anxious.''Yes, Wendell. He kidnapped my mother and I need to rescue her then I need to teach him a lesson.''''Huh?'' Thomas scoffed. ''Don’t be fooled, Logan. You don't have the mind to confront Mr Wendell, k!lling people is nothing to him.''"Unfortunately, he's not going to k!ll us," Cody chimed in."I feel sorry for all of you. There's no way you can touch Mr. Wendell. You'll just have to leave him to God, if he's up there," Thomas declared, making it clear to them."All we need is for you to sneak us in without raising any suspicion. You're well-known in those areas, so it won't seem out of the ordinary for you to be there," Logan insisted."Just because I'm well-known, does that mean I have to put my life o
