Loretta watched as the men sent everyone out.The workers ran out of their offices in terror. Not even the security team could do anything to stop Douglas and his men.Olivia and the thugs she sent also stood and watched Douglas' men in action.They were excited that they didn't even have to lift a finger as Douglas and his men far outnumbered the security men at Lopez Conglomerate both in skill and in number.Ethan's phone suddenly began to ring, it was General Cage calling.“Are you all right, Sir?” General Cage asked Ethan after getting wind of what was going on at Lopez Conglomerate.“Yes General, I'm fine. Don't worry about me,” Ethan assured the General quickly, not wanting his men to come as they were no match for Douglas and the rest of the Kings' highly skilled men.A powerful sounding engine soon roared from outside the building and a few seconds later, Ariella and Jay strolled in like they were coming to a place of amusement.She swiveled the keys to the new Ferrari in her
The 7 grotesque-looking men suddenly regained themselves. Everything that happened to Douglas' men appeared so surreal to them.They were going to watch the show and possibly join Douglas' men in beating up Ethan but now the task fell on their shoulders alone.They clenched their fists as they prepared to attack Ethan.Ariella's mood picked up again as she heard Olivia giving her men the order to attack Ethan. Her previous disappointment instantly vanished.“Hahaha, you may have escaped those men somehow but you won't be so lucky this time! Let's see how you escape these thugs!” She laughed disdainfully at Ethan.“Yeah, don't spare him. Tear him to pieces. I'll even double whatever Olivia offered you!” Jay announced to Olivia's men.He had just won his father's approval, which meant he had more money at his disposal.The aura surrounding him was frightening but Olivia's men suddenly had more motivation!Jay had offered to double the generous sum that Olivia was paying them!They had d
Ethan's menacing demeanor caused Jay and Ariella to step back.Loretta stood watching the whole scene. It all felt so surreal.How can anyone take out several men without even moving? Was that even possible?Her eyes followed Ethan who was now a few meters away from both Jay and Ariella.Before Ethan could say anything else, the couple fell to their knees with their heads facing down.“Please let us go. We were stupid to have come here.”Their pleas surprised Ethan.But he wasn't letting them off the hook so easily.“You have both wronged me greatly!”“Ariella, you and your family had only one task while I was in jail. To the care of my sick mother! But what did you do? You let her die!”“We tried to help her..” Ariella attempted to defend herself but Ethan cut her off.“Zip it! Do you think you are talking to a fool?” Ethan had uncovered everything that Ariella’s family had done to him and his mother but he didn't say anything about it.A part of him wanted to just snap their necks a
Zack was filled with shock as he looked around. He tried to imagine what had happened but the image in his mind terrified him greatly.He stared at the janitors as they worked. As the last drop of blood was wiped off the floor, Ethan spoke to him, “No they are not.”“Don't you recognize them?” Ethan's question caused Zack to look beyond their blood-stained faces.A glint suddenly appeared in his eyes.“Are those not the thugs that just escaped from jail?” Zack asked excitedly.“Calm down, my amiable officer!” Ethan smiled.He perfectly understood Zack's excitement. It was not easy for one officer to arrest even a single thug, yet Ethan was handing over 7 thugs who had just escaped from jail. So it was a big deal for Zack.“I had to knock them out so they won't give you any trouble on your way to the police department,” Ethan patted Zack's shoulders.“You are welcome by the way.”Zack didn't know what to say.He owed Ethan so much.Since they had become friends, he had quickly risen t
Ethan sat comfortably in his seat the moment they got into his office.Loretta's expression told him there was a lot on her mind.The ambiance in his office turned slightly dull as he watched her take a seat opposite him.She wanted to ask him how he had attacked those men without even moving but for some reason, she didn't.“What are you not telling me about Dahlia Kings? Why are they suddenly after you? Do I need to be concerned?” She asked him several questions at once without waiting for an answer to the previous one.“Why did you burn their car?” She went on.“Okay, one question at a time,” Ethan's response softened her face a little but it did nothing to calm her fears.“I have something they want real bad and today showed me just how desperate they are to get it back.”Loretta's eyes widened at Ethan's revelation.“If these people are desperate, then that makes them even more dangerous than they already are! Are you certain you want to do this?” Her concern was quite touching b
Shock was written all over Dahlia's face the moment she stepped into the living room.Douglas and the rest of the special bodyguards he had left with all looked like they had just fought a civil war.Their once sparkling outfits were stained with blood and their ears were five times their normal sizes.“Who did this to you? Were you involved in an accident?” She asked in confusion.Her eyes soon fell on Davis who was glaring at his phone in fury.Something on his phone's screen drew her attention and she moved closer to have a better look.Her emotions instantly spiked as she saw 6 Rolls-Royce with the Kings' custom plate numbers being torched.Everything happening at that instant felt so surreal and she almost lost her balance.They had not only failed to eliminate Silvia, but they had also failed to deliver a stern warning to the man who was responsible for that.It was also obvious that Ethan was sending them a message of his own!Simon also strolled into the living room at that in
A towering apartment stood before Ethan with some guards standing in front of it.Ethan pulled out his Daytona wristwatch and glanced at the time.He let out a soft sigh as he remembered that every day brought him closer to his mother's funeral.The remodeling project of his mother's home had finally been completed.He spared no expense in the project. Only the best materials had been used, making him spend an additional 50 million dollars outside the initial sum.He approached the entrance to the apartment and the moment the guards saw him they bowed respectfully and hurriedly opened the door to let him in, not daring to lift their faces until he was inside.The guards heaved sighs of relief as soon as he entered inside.They stared at each other with a slight tinge of fear in their eyes.It wasn't every day that they got to meet their leader…..the esteemed leader of the black axe.The inside of the apartment was tastefully furnished. An upgrade had been carried out only recently at
Ethan tilted his chin to the roof in disbelief as he heard everything that Silvia revealed to him.“So the evidence you talked about, where is it?” He asked after carefully listening to her.“I…I have it hidden in my apartment on Broadway Street! That is the only copy left. I was grabbed by Dahlia's bodyguards while I was trying to deposit a copy at the bank,’’ she explained to Ethan.“And you are just telling me this now?” He asked her with a frown.“I'm sorry, I haven't exactly been myself since the incident,” she apologized sincerely.Ethan clenched his fists.What if he was too late? What if Dahlia's bodyguards had already found it?“I don't mean to be hard on you but do you realize the repercussions of you not telling me? It means your sacrifice might have been for nothing because no one would believe a word you say and Dahlia would still come after you!”Silvia gasped, covering her mouth with her hands.“Dear Lord! What do we do?” She exclaimed as everything Ethan just told her
