“Yes, Boss. We will make absolution if this ultimatum.” Alan Butch was down on his hands and knees as fear gripped his heart.“Boss, we swear to you that we won’t fail you this time,” Spencer spoke as well, mimicking Alan’s posture of subservience.Billy Light was the last to join them in bowing to Miles. “From now on, our life as shameless thugs is over. We will return to keeping the underworld under our control. Whenever you need its channel, it will be accessible to you, Sir.”Miles was finally convinced that these fools had truly learned their lesson. Their body not only carry respect for him, but their faces also unveil their fear of him. They wouldn’t dare mess around like this ever again. “Wait, what the hell are you guys doing?!” Lucas was losing his mind. He felt ignored and belittled as all three men and Miles had treated him like he didn’t matter. “You!” He pointed an accusing finger at Miles. “What are you going to do to my family’s supermarket?!”Miles raised an eyebrow.
The next day, Miles met up with Janet Bean, who turned out to be a very beautiful woman. They had a chat over breakfast at a café, and Miles was quite pleased with her intellect.They then headed to the location where they had the intention of building the huge park for the city. “I have to admit that this land isn’t bad at all.” Miles nodded his head with approval. He and Janet had spent a bit over an hour scouting through any problems this land might have, not just physically but also on an economic scale. It’s the reason Janet was made out to be the best candidate for this inspection. “I also agree that this land is perfect. Plus, once the project is completed and its indeed function in the city commends, it will do well to cover up for the absence of Eckre Empire Headquarters.”At this moment, Miles could see the sadness on the woman’s face. He could definitely understand her. She, along with many other employees, will definitely miss Eckre Empire Headquarters. Still, life waits
Caleb Autumn was getting pissed off by Miles’s words, but he decided to act his class. “Lemme guess, your company is fairly new and you’re just about to start its construction, right?” “Yes, actually. The project I’ll be using this land for is fairly new. Do you have a problem with that?” Miles sneered at the pompous man in front of him.The man raised in a mocking show of surrender. “Oh, definitely not! Having a problem with someone like you would mean I’m stooping low to your level.” The man chuckled with an air of arrogance. “I definitely won’t do that, seeing as you’re far beneath me.”Janet Bean was a bit moody about Caleb Autumn’s words against Miles. Even though she didn’t know Miles’s background, she was instructed to provide her best aid to Miles by the CEO of Eckre Empire Headquarters. That means that Miles was no small fish by any means.Miles remained intrigued as he watched Caleb Autumn swaggering off with the woman in glasses. “That was an interesting encounter, wasn’t
Miles smiled at this. This was the reason that he gave the position to Eden Raven. No one had skin as tough as that guy. He knew that, unlike the former head of security guards, Eden wouldn’t stoop low to being controlled by someone else to do terrible things to other workers.Eden sighed. “William, I actually called to talk to you about Bruce. I think the guy might be in great danger.”Miles frowned when he heard this. “Wait, what do you, men? Did you see something?”“Yeah, I did,” Eden spoke with a calm voice. “Miles, I saw him going into a club with Jacobs Briggs.”Miles’s eyes widened. “Jacobs Briggs?! Wait, isn’t the former vice of Daniels back when he was still working for me?”Eden sighed. “I wouldn’t know. Don’t forget that I had no idea you and Bruce were leading a double life back then. It was just recently that I found out that he used to be your subordinate in this city, handling underground work for you.”Miles looked around the house. He was currently in the living room.
Miles ended the hug with Eden and they nodded at each other before walking to the club's main entrance. There they found six bouncers standing guard.One of the bouncers put his hand forward, stopping the two from entering. “The club is off to all low-tier customers. It doesn’t matter if you’re regular either. The club is still close off to you.”Miles stared up at the bouncers, seeing an air of arrogance and violence on his face. He then glanced at the other bouncers as well and saw that they all had the same temperament. At this point, Miles could tell that these men were definitely not ordinary bouncers. Miles turned to Eden, giving him a signal to have a private chat.Eden saw this secret message and he almost broke into a warm smile. These secret gestures were something they created when they were friends those years ago. He was pleasantly surprised that Miles still remembered it.The two turned around and went a few distance before they stopped.Eden grinned at his best friend.
“Got it.” Eden felt far more comfortable doing that. He was more of a muscle guy than a brain guy.The two approached the table and Miles arrogantly took a seat, fitting right in with the other occupants who also had expressions of arrogance on their faces.Miles glanced around the table and pointed at the man seated opposite him. “I’d like to challenge you. You have a million dollars in chips. I have a feeling that playing with you will be fun.”The man laughed. “Game on then.” The man was about to start when he noticed that Miles’s table was empty of any dice. “What the fuck are you on about? There’s no chip on your table? You wish to play with me because you think I’m a worthy opponent, but have you thought to ask yourself if you’re worthy to be my opponent?”Miles raised his hands with a smile. “Relax; I just haven’t purchased my chips yet.” Eden understood what he was supposed to do, so he summoned a male waiter and instructed him to bring chips.The waiter smiled at both Eden a
The man decided to turn the tables. “You! You must have cheated! Cheater!! I’m not going to pay you a dime!”Miles’s face became cold. Sister, what did you just say?!” He couldn’t believe that this older man was going to pull such a cheap trick to get out of paying that one billion dollars.Eden’s body tensed as he became pissed as well. Just like Miles, he could tell that this man was shamelessly blaming Miles so he wouldn’t have to pay the one billion dollars he owed his best friend. His fist tightened as he could tell that a fight was coming. If there was one thing he knew, it was that Miles hated being cheated on, especially when the reason is a bile and wicked one. This man had accepted Miles's challenge and even won more than $100 million from him. If the game had ended there, this man would have definitely collected his money from Miles, even if he had to beat it out of Miles. Yet, Miles had won instead and this disgraceful mistake for a human being had suddenly created an accu
In this special room, Bruce Daniels was Heidi up by iron chains while he was shirtless. His body was riddled with whip marks. These marks were quite brutal, and the exhausted state that Bruce was in was proof of how much torture he had been enduring for Lord knows how long.A man in a fitting two-piece suit approached Bruce and began punching him. Bruce’s swollen eyes shot open and he screamed out in sheer pain. It seemed that every single part of his body was currently hurting at the slightest touch. He couldn’t help but let out agony as Jacobs Briggs wouldn’t stop punching him.This torture went on for five minutes. By then, Jacobs Briggs was out of breath and he had to stop, or at least take a break.“Please, Jacobs, stop this. You can’t keep holding on to the past.” Bruce could only speak so weakly.“You want me to let go of the past?” Jacobs sneered as he wiped away the sweat that he was now soaked in. “You mean the same past where I have lost my brother because of you and your c
