They were all seated in the VIP room, the atmosphere was a bit tensed and serious, the atmosphere have changed from the previous one that was joyful and playful, they all have a serious expression on their face.“Um… did you just say that you want to being down that bastard, Robert?” Jay asked, his brows were furrowed, his face clearly giving him away, fear was boldly written on it.“You scared of him, Jay?” Abraham asked him. His tone sounded a bit intimidating, his face had a very cold expression on his face, the aura radiating around him this time is a dark and cold one. All eyes turned to Jay, waiting for his answer, beads of sweat were already beginning to form at his forehead, he knew what each answer to the question will lead to, there are consequences on both side. “N—No” he swallowed hard as he gave his answer to the question. “Good then” Abraham nodded his head. Deep down, they all know that Jay’s answer was a complete lie, the mention of that name and the feeling of goi
“Huh? Do you know what the fuck you are asking for?” Antonio asked wide eyed, surprised that Robert will offer something like that out of the blue. “You now know that going up against me is a very foolish move and you have accepted your position, you are also a very smart person and have a lot of experience in this field that I am offering up to you, so why won’t I offer you that position?”“You didn’t take into consideration that I can betray you?” Antonio asked, the muscles in his face which tensed up due to surprise have relaxed a bit. “I took it into consideration and that is why the deal will have rules that must not be broken and the punishment for the breaching of each rule, it’s not only betrayal I took into consideration but that tops my list though” Robert replied him. “You don’t have to rush into an answer today, you can reply me anytime you wish to” Robert added. “I will give you my reply tomorrow after signing off the deal” Antonio replied and packed the document back
“Hello” the voice from the other end of the phone said again, drawing her out of the thought of death she is buried in.“There are people at my door, I don’t know how they know, I was being so careful, I am sure I wasn’t even tailed, there are no information about me outside, there was no way anyone could have found out, so how did they…” Alice stuttered, shivering in fear, talking as fast as she can in a very low whisper, she stopped to catch her breath for a couple of milliseconds and then continued immediately, “I was sure I didn’t do any activity that will arouse any suspicion”“Calm down and repeat what you are saying, I can barely make out what you are saying” Robert said from the other end of the line, she could hear the slight chuckle he made. “Sir, this is not a laughing matter at all” she said in fear, angry that Robert could be laughing when her life is in danger like this. Another knock on her door again made her jolt in fear and she let out a loud gasp, the phone discon
Abraham and the rest of his group sat around a round table, they were all putting on the same thing, each of them was putting on a black suit on a white shirt except for Dennis who had a black shirt and a black tie under his black suit. “I expect you all to have something already planned out” Abraham began. This is the second time they are having a meeting over someone and making plans ahead to take him down, they usually just make a phone call to eliminate any potential threat but Robert Kade is the second person they have considered more than a potential threat but he is the first person they consider as severe threat. “Why not?” Jay asked rhetorically, sounding and feeling more confident, compared to the previous night where he looked a bit chickened out by the words and rumors that he have been hearing concerning him, he seemed to have thought about it through the night and came out with the best plan, the look on his eyes is like he didn’t even blink his eye the previous night
“The deal is completely signed and all the paper works have been completed, congratulations, Mr. Robert Kade” one of the board members stretched his hands for a handshake, Robert accept it, forcing a smile on his face to look as genuine as possible, he knows that at the end of the day, his cheeks are going to hurt from all the smiles that he have forced out today. The board member had a sheepish smile plastered on his face and he held onto Robert’s hand a bit longer than usual, until Robert had to force his hand off his grip. Robert have done the complete assessment of every board member here, they were all made up of stingy and selfish people who only think of themselves and nothing more, they are only after what will benefit them the most, which was one of the things that Robert hates the most, they don’t even give a damn about who they hurt to get what they want. Robert was disgusted at every one of them in the board meeting room and he didn’t fail to show it at intervals but the
"Dennis is in town" Alice said while sitting beside Liam on the couch in Robert's house, a maid came in with a bottle of wine and three cups, she placed a cup in front of the both of them and one opposite them, in front of an empty chair, she poured the red liquid contents of the wine bottle into the two cups placed in front of Liam and Alice, she poured the contents halfway of the wine glass after she saw Robert descending the staircase, she poured the same quantity into the cup that was meant for him also. "He is in town? He made his first move yesterday, I haven't got much time to deal with him, I have the maximum of a week and I can tell that he wants to wrap this up as quick as possible, because he is using the same pattern like he use to get his criminals, I can’t tell if he is toying with me or underestimating, this is the first time that I am confused about someone like this, I never knew that the FBI agents are so cool like this, he must be one of the reasons why they could
“So what is your deal with Dennis?” Lois asked as she served coffee to Robert and Liam who was sitting beside Robert on her couch in her apartment. Robert sipped a little from the coffee and placed it back on the table before him. “Turns out that Dennis is part of the circle of friends that Matt was in and they are plotting a revenge against me for putting one of them into jail” Robert said. “That’s really bad news, the FBI had trouble dealing with him, he was a real pain in the ass, but they couldn’t dispose him as at that moment because he is one of the best detectives that we have—“ Robert cut in, he had come here to learn everything that he can, about this Dennis that was hell bent on bringing him down. “What do you mean by he was a real pain in the ass?” he asked, right now he was behaving like a student in the classroom who was hell bent on learning a particular subject because it was already in a stage of do-or-die. “He likes jumping into other detectives case and solving
Dennis sat on a comfy chair, staring at the television with a glass of champagne in his right hand and his left hand holding the phone to his ear, his legs crossed on the table. He had a smile on his face that brightened his facial features, it was like a different personality had taken over now that he was talking with Lois over the phone. “You called by this time, what is it?” Dennis asked, his face slightly squeezed as he tried to think of what the reason for her phone call might be.“Robert wants to see you at Cramavings restaurant tomorrow by two o’clock at noon” She said suddenly after a while of silence. “Huh? What did he want to see me for, is he asking me out on a date?” Dennis asked her jokingly, pressing his lips into a flat line. “He is not gay, come on” she said with a soft laughter, “he looked serious though” “Was there fear on his face?” Dennis asked in a serious tone. “No, there was no fear on his face, it was once there at first but it seemed to be dead by now,
