After checking out my status window, I decided to move on to the last target I have on my list: Ronald Oscar. I plan on making him a horror movie character. Taking out my phone, I dialled Starlet's number.“Change of plans, bring the other two to the Wardogs training room. I will also bring in Ronald Oscar as well. It's time for the world to witness a horror movie scene.”“Okay.” he replied. The click sound told me the line had been disconnected. I got everything ready and walked towards my PCJ600 powerbike.Do I really need to still find and kill these men? Yes I do.. every second they are living feels like a needle pricking my skin. Every day they are not dead feels like I'm merged into a boiling lake of lava. I have to make sure they all die an excruciating death, and I have just the perfect way to kill them.I inserted the powerbike key at the ignition interlock and startup the bike.'Time to hunt'*I stopped at Ronald's neighborhood. Taking off my helmet, I walked towards his ho
Xavier's eyes gleamed with satisfaction as he gazed out the hotel window. Two companies under his belt, and his plan was unfolding perfectly."Ding! Host, system integration complete. Company AI infrastructure online."Xavier's laptop screen flickered to life, displaying the integrated systems of Omni Defense and NovaTech."System, initiate protocol 'Eclipse.'"The AI, codenamed "Erebus," sprang to life."Protocol Eclipse initiated. Concealing company ownership and financial transactions."Xavier nodded, his mind racing with the possibilities. With Eclipse in place, his empire would remain hidden from prying eyes.The phone buzzed again. Maximus."Xavier, meet me at the usual place. We need to discuss your progress."Xavier's instincts flared. What did Maximus want now?He arrived at the designated location, a nondescript warehouse on the outskirts of town. Maximus awaited, his expression unreadable."You've made impressive strides, Xavier," Maximus said. "But there's more to be done.
Xavier's phone buzzed as he left the meeting with Sofia and Senator Morse."Xavier, Rykhard Industries' bid is just the tip of the iceberg," Maximus said, his voice low."What do you mean?" Xavier asked, his mind racing."Rykhard's CEO, Victor Rykhard, has ties to the Aethoria Empire. This is more than just a business deal."Xavier's grip on his phone tightened. "What's the connection?""Victor Rykhard's sister, Eliana, is married to the Emperor's son. This is a power play."Xavier's eyes narrowed. "We need to take down Rykhard Industries.""I agree," Maximus said. "But we'll need more than just money and influence.""What do you propose?" Xavier asked."We need someone with access to the Empire's inner circle."Xavier's thoughts turned to Frank, the former God of War from the Aethoria Empire."Frank," Xavier said, his voice firm.Maximus paused. "You think he'll help?"Xavier's determination grew. "I'll make sure he does."As Xavier ended the call, Sofia appeared beside him."Xavier,
The darkness was oppressive, the team's frantic whispers filling the air.Xavier's grip on his phone tightened. "Maximus, get the backup generators online!"Maximus's voice was laced with urgency. "Working on it, Xavier!"Frank's eyes locked onto the screens. "I'll manually override the system."Janice's gaze never left Frank. "I'll assist."Sofia's voice whispered in Xavier's ear. "Don't trust Janice."Xavier's eyes narrowed. "Why?"Sofia's smile was fleeting. "She's hiding something."As the generators hummed to life, the screens flickered back on.The hacking progress was alarming.Frank's fingers flew across the keyboard. "I've almost got it."Janice stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Frank, her eyes fixed on the screen.Xavier watched, his instincts screaming warning.Suddenly, Janice's hand brushed against Frank's.A spark of electricity seemed to pass between them.Frank's eyes locked onto Janice's.Xavier's heart sank."Frank, no!" Xavier shouted.But it was too late.Frank's exp
Xavier, Sofia, and Maximus approached Rykhard Industries' headquarters, their guns drawn. The building's sleek glass facade seemed to shimmer in the fading light, a symbol of the empire's opulence and corruption."Remember the plan," Xavier whispered. "Sofia takes the east wing, Maximus the west. I'll handle the central command center."Sofia nodded, her eyes locked on the building. "Let's move."As they entered, the lobby's silence was oppressive. The receptionist's desk was abandoned, the usual bustle replaced by an eerie stillness."Something's off," Maximus whispered.Xavier's grip on his gun tightened. "Stay alert."They split up, Xavier making his way to the central command center. The doors slid open with a soft hiss, revealing Victor Rykhard's imposing figure."Welcome, Xavier," Rykhard said, his voice dripping with malice. "I've been expecting you."Xavier's eyes locked onto Rykhard's. "It's over. Your empire is crumbling."Rykhard chuckled. "You're too late. The data's alrea
Xavier, Sofia, and Maximus stood outside the ruins of the mansion, the dust settling around them."It's done," Sofia whispered, her eyes scanning the destruction.Xavier's gaze locked onto the rubble. "The Order is dismantled."Maximus nodded. "But at what cost?"Xavier's thoughts turned to Ava, who had sacrificed herself to reveal The Archon's identity."Ava's sacrifice won't be forgotten," Xavier said.Sofia's hand found Xavier's. "We've made a difference."But amidst the triumph, Xavier's unease grew. The Archon's words echoed in his mind: "You'll never stop the Order."Suddenly, Xavier's phone buzzed – an unknown number."Xavier," a low voice said, "The Archon was just a pawn."Xavier's grip on his phone tightened. "Who is this?"The line went dead.Xavier's eyes locked onto Sofia's. "It's not over."Sofia's gaze narrowed. "What's happening?"Xavier's jaw clenched. "There's another player in the shadows."Their journey was far from over.As they walked away from the rubble, Xavier
Xavier's eyes locked onto Sofia's, his mind racing with the implications. "The Shadow Broker was just a test?" he repeated.Sofia's gaze narrowed. "Who's behind this?"Xavier's jaw clenched. "We need to find out."Maximus stepped forward. "We've got the Shadow Broker in custody. Let's interrogate him."Sofia nodded. "I'll analyze his communication records."Xavier's phone buzzed again – an unknown number. "Xavier, meet me at the old warehouse at midnight," the low voice said.Xavier's grip on his phone tightened. "Who is this?"The line went dead.Sofia's eyes locked onto Xavier's. "What's happening?"Xavier's jaw clenched. "Another meeting with an unknown contact."Maximus frowned. "Be careful."At midnight, Xavier approached the abandoned warehouse, gun drawn. A figure emerged from the shadows."You're the one who called?" Xavier asked.The figure stepped forward, revealing a hooded face. "I'm a former operative of the real enemy."Xavier's eyes widened. "Who is it?"The hooded figu
Ryker's eyes gleamed with maniacal intensity. "You're no match for The Syndicate. We've infiltrated every level of government and society."Xavier stepped forward, his gun trained on Ryker. "We'll take you down, no matter how deep you've infested."Ryker chuckled. "You're brave, Xavier. But bravery won't save you."Sofia moved to flank Ryker, her eyes locked on his. "We've exposed your operations. Your empire is crumbling."Ryker's smile faltered for a moment before he regained composure. "You think you've won? You've only just begun to play the game."Maximus charged forward, his gun blazing. "Time to end this."The team engaged in a fierce firefight, dodging bullets and taking down The Syndicate's operatives.Maya shielded Emma, her gun trained on Ryker's guards.Victor's voice echoed through their comms. "I've hacked the building's security. You've got a clear path to the exit."Xavier's eyes locked onto Ryker. "It's over."Ryker snarled, pulling out a hidden pistol.Xavier dove to
