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
Chapter 034- Compliance at Gun Point "No, you don't need to go anywhere. Get Eliza out of the trunk. She's our bait," Logan ordered."No, she's not our bait, Young Master. Are you seriously willing to put her life in danger?" Rowe challenged, locking eyes with Logan, who shot back a defiant stare."I couldn't care less, Cody. Stop questioning me and just get her out of the trunk," Logan retorted, unmoved by Rowe's concern.Rowe's "Huh" escaped in a tense whisper. "I hope this doesn't end the wrong way," he murmured before bravely flinging the trunk open.Inside, Rowe's heart skipped a beat at the sight of Eliza lying still with her eyes closed. "She's dead!" he gasped.Logan and Cody rushed to join him by the trunk."Is she really dead?" Logan fretted, but Cody pushed past him."Let me check. We can't jump to conclusions," Cody said, hovering over the motionless figure and holding his finger close to her nose."She's still breathing... completely normal," Cody announced with relief.
Chapter 035- Logan meets Wendell ''The same way I've been killing unwise people like you both for more than a decade.'’The atmosphere suddenly tensed as Logan and Eliza whipped around, startled to find a mysterious figure standing at the entrance. The stranger, dressed in a striking red suit and black sunglasses, held a gun in his hand, casting a menacing shadow in the dimly lit room."Who are you?" Logan demanded, his eyes fixed on the imposing figure."Why the silence? Show yourself, you coward," Eliza challenged, her voice trembling with a mix of fear and defiance.With the stranger's silence lingering in the air, Logan reached for the gun he took from Rowe, but before he could act, Eliza forcefully pushed his hand down."What are you doing?" she whispered urgently, her gaze unwavering as they faced the enigmatic intruder.Logan was on the verge of protesting when the enigmatic figure burst into laughter. "You should have let him pull the trigger, haha."As the laughter subsided,
Chapter 036- Yvonne to the rescue Logan's wide grin faded as he asked with a hint of skepticism, "So, what's this little test all about? Are we back in college or something?’’ "Wait, This one's supposed to be simple. Simple compared to what? a rocket science exam!" Wendell sneered as he casually tossed a small, menacing-looking device at Logan's feet. Logan froze, eyeing the device warily but making no move to pick it up. "Why don't you pick it up, kid? Scared it'll bite you?" Wendell taunted. Logan's frustration boiled over. "How does this thing have anything to do with getting my mother back and letting me go? What am I supposed to do with a device that looks like a Nokia from the 90s?" "Haha, did you just call it a Nokia? Oh boy," Wendell chuckled. "It's a bomb defuser device, not some antique phone keypad." Logan's eyes widened in horror. "A bomb defuser? What the hell?" "That's right, son. There's a bomb ticking away in the old warehouse down the street. You defuse
