Chapter 96After a few more minutes of a little talk between the three, Mr. Jones led them towards the elevator and they all got in. Instead of going upwards, the elevator went downwards, making Liam wonder where they were headed but he didn't say anything since no one else reacted to the reversal. On arrival at their destination, the door dinged and then slid open for them to step out which they did without hesitation. “To avoid publicity, I opted for an underground gym.” Mr. Jones was in front of them as he looked around the fully equipped underground gym. This wasn't the first time he was coming here and so he was familiar with every fit and fixture. Liam on the other hand was overwhelmed with the amount of equipment that was present. He had been to several gyms but this was different from others. It looked like a world class gym as it was fully equipped. They were still at the entrance of the gum when a door creaked open and a man stepped out. With a smile etched on the side
Chapter 97The next morning, Liam was still lying in bed when his phone beeped. Thinking it was a text from his mom or Mr. Jones, he quickly reached out for his phone only to toss it and then let out a grunt of frustration. The text turned out to be from his service provider and he didn't even bother to read through it since he was pissed. Shutting his eyes tightly, he cranked his head to he side before taking his back off the bed. With his legs now on the fluffy rug that covered the floor of his room, he bent his head and then began to study the patterns that were spread out. While doing this, the only thing that was ringing in his head was the mission. He had trained for the physical part of the mission but not the technical part that involves his skills. He felt he should at least have a hint of what to expect and then he would be able to prepare adequately for it but no one said a word concerning it leaving him perturbed. Since this was somewhat like a national mission, he di
Chapter 98When Liam arrived at the family mansion, the first person he came across was Nathan who was on his way out. Immediately Nathan realized he was the one approaching him, he halted and with his hands wrapped across his chest, said, “I thought you wanted to move, what are you still doing here?” “I want to thank granny for granting my wish.” Liam replied with a smirk, watching the blood on Nathan's face drying up at his words. “Okay.” He nodded and then stepped aside, creating room for passage. Just when Liam was about to grab the handle of the door, he cleared his throat to get his attention and immediately he got it, with a hoarse voice, he said, “According to Naya, you guys are moving into a duplex of high taste, how were you able to get the money.” “I worked my ass off.” He didn't wait to hear more of his talks, instead he pushed the door in, ushering himself into the living room. Fortunately for him, he didn't have to request Granny Elena's presence since she was in t
Chapter 99Pressing his lips tightly together into a thin line, Liam shook his head sideways before attempting to wriggle from her grip but surprisingly, her grip was strong on him. “Get off already.” He chided but she didn't let go of his hand, rather, she pulled herself up, smiling like she just won a lottery.“Why do you keep pushing me away?” She groaned and then burped. “You're drunk, please get some rest.” He tried to make her lie on the bed but she wouldn't agree. She kept on leaning towards him until their skin was brushing against the other. “Please… stop pushing me away, it hurts.” She groaned. Staring down at her, Liam pushed his free hand into his hair and then let out a low grunt of frustration. With Lily, it was different since he had invested his time and everything he had in him into their three years relationship only to get heartbroken. Being intimate with her back then wasn't a hassle. Whenever she initiated it, he always responded to it but with Naya it was d
Chapter 100Now seated behind a table in the cafeteria for dinner, Liam, who had been pondering on how Dave was able to come up with an idea on how to crush their opponent was picking on his food as he cast Dave frequent stares. When he couldn't keep his question to himself anymore, he leaned forward and with his hands clasped in front of him, asked, “Is there something I need to know?”“I already said I was a black hat hacker, I wasn't bluffing.” Dave replied, not bothering to take his eyes off his plate of food. Deep down, he was mad at himself for being unable to keep his identity a secret. He never wanted anyone to know about his hacking skills but since the situation needed it, he had no choice but to help. “Whoa! I thought you were bluffing back there.” Sam chuckled lightly. Suddenly, he pushed his hand forward and with a grin plastered on his face, he said, “You guys are cool. I'm the only one who isn't cool here.” He said the last part with a huff and then pushed a piece of
Chapter 101Immediately he finished speaking with his mother, Liam returned to the rest of the team who were waiting for him to finish up. “I'm sorry, I needed to receive they call.” He said, taking his position beside Dave who was looking around the vicinity. While Sam chattered, talking about his experience at somewhere he had paid a visit to, Liam was staring intently at Dave. Nudging him after a while, he said, “Are you this quiet?” “Uhm… do you want me to speak with you?” Dave asked, giving him a quick glance before kicking a stone and sending it into the air. “Not really.” Liam chuckled. Pushing his hand into his hair, he tugged on it for a while before saying, “You see, I'm not really a fan of quiet people. Their silence makes me so uncomfortable and…” “You think I'm brewing something evil in my head.” He interrupted, giving him a brief look. “Come on, that's not it.” Still chuckling, Liam placed his hand around his neck, “Even at that, I'm scared of you.” He replied, sm
Chapter 102Now seated on the couch with his legs across the other, Mr. Jones was staring at Dave. Just like Liam had a mixed feeling about his presence in the team, he too developed those feelings but after a little research, all his worries went into the thin air. The reason he had provided them with vague information was because he didn't want to get too involved; otherwise, all the praises would be ascribed to him and not the boys who had worked so hard to see to the success of the mission. “You seem versatile and so you're the best person to handle this job.” he said, giving Dave a thumbs up which he didn't react to. Seconds later, Sam was standing in front of Dave and with his hands wrapped across his chest, he parted his lips in a bid to start speaking but he didn't get the chance. “Are you good at stalking?” Dave asked, brushing past him. “Stalking?” “Yeah. You're going to stalk Tyler Moore… just in case, he has a black belt in taekwondo, swift and slippery.” “What?”
Chapter 103Instead of the manager letting Dave go like Kaiser had wanted, he pulled him to his office and after yelling at him, asked him to take the night off. Falling on his knees, Dave placed his hand together, “Pardon me, this won't repeat itself, I promise.” He cried, making the manager's head burst with pride. “Fine, you can stay but avoid serving those guys.” He said and after giving his shoulder a friendly pat, he asked him to leave. Now outside the casino, Sam who had been notified of the failed mission immediately pulled him to the side. “Are you alright?” He asked, concern written all over his face as he peered into his eyes. “Yeah.” Dave nodded, digging his hand into his hair. Feeling bad for Dave who was at the verge of breakthrough, Sam pulled him into a hug only to receive a punch on his chin. “Have you lost it?” Rubbing his aching cheeks with a scowl on his face, Sam yelled, “I was trying to comfort you. I know what it feels to be a loser.” “Discard those clo
