Chapter 177"Let him speak." Henry advised from the background as he heard her speak. She was sounding hurt but that shouldn't make her discard her only surviving relative at least that was the only person he knew. Being with him didn't mean that she should automatically lose her sense of self or lose her relationships. It was surely going to end in disaster because he feared that a day would come that she would resent him for making her lose the people she had known since she was little. His eyes scanned the screen hoping to get a glance of Adrien, to judge if he was truly sorry or it was all a joke from him after not being allowed access to luxury like before."This is not what you think."Adrien said, trying to convince his sister whose eyes blazed with anger. Clara scoffed and dropped the phone, placing her hands akimbo, she wondered how she managed to end up being related to this ingrate, that only showed the type of person he was. What if after everything she was doing just for
Chapter 178"What the hell are you doing around the area? Who would have thought that you of all people would be calling me? What happened to staying dead?" Caine fired the questions at him. It was very surprising to hear from Anthony. Most importantly, he was surprised that his new number was tracked."So, you are still in your tracking operation?" Caine inquired tactically. He wouldn't have thought it possible that he would ever speak to Anthony again after the way they had split. "Where are you right now?" He inquired. He has another assignment but he could spare a few minutes. Moreover, the person who he was going to meet had not yet arrived.Anthony stroked his cheek while watching Caine from the computer. It was a ploy to annihilate him but he didn't know. "Oh, I'm in the area but I don't think that you can see me." He replied and took a look at his boss who was busy puffing his smoke in the distance. He did just know why he was very emotional and felt so pained over people's is
Chapter 179Henry couldn't believe his ears when heard the words, "Do you mean that Greg is dead? Is that what you are saying?" He repeated to make sure that he was hearing correctly."I can boldly say that we are making headway, it's very amazing what we have managed to achieve in the span of a few minutes, all thanks to my friend Anthony." Henry's head was reeling in surprise, as he stared at the blank wall in front of him."Wait a minute, what are you doing? What are you trying to say? Is Greg dead or not?" He inquired."He's safely where he belongs and he's not getting out anytime soon. I need you to give me the address to Liam's house so that I can come there right now. I don't trust all of them, there are still a lot of people working for Greg and they would surely want to retaliate." Caine answered. None of what this man was saying was making sense to him. It was either he was dead or not. Hehad come to realize that the man was like a blood sucking viper that refused to die, or
Chapter 180Henry cocked his head, good, he could talk about business that sounded like a very good option to take his mind off stuff. "Alright, so can you forward the details to my email. I guess I can't get much done because of my phone limitation but we can still work around it. How is he doing?" Clara glanced at Pops who was still lying with his eyes shut tightly. "He has not moved since that time but I think we should be optimistic as the doctor had promised us. We'll soon be out of here." She replied cheerfully.A thought flashed across her mind,"Have you gotten something to eat?" Her stomach rumbled giving him the answer and she smiled sheepishly. "What are you doing to yourself by not eating? It's past noon." He scolded her, then made his tone soft, "You've been working tirelessly and I don't want you to break down. You need food as a fuel to get many things done. We don't want you hospitalized." Clara rolled her eyes at his overly concern. Of course he was going to sugges
Chapter 181The door split open with a bang startling Henry and he quickly rose from the chair. His eyes widened in horror as he saw a group of men in masks pointing guns at them.What happened to the door being bulletproof and anti breakable? He wondered as he moved backwards. His eyes went to the revolver that lay on the table he was resting his leg a few minutes ago. This is insane. He thought as he made a move to reach for it.A loud shot moved the gun backward, crashing it on the floor and George went on his knees. This was the end, there was nothing that they could do to help themselves. Where was Liam? Henry wondered. Surely he must have heard the bang. "It's great to see you here isn't it?" One of the men asked sarcastically and they stared at him. He walked forward, looking like the leader of the gang. Why the hell was he wearing a mask? Henty thought but moved stylishly towards the direction of the gun. He wasn't going down without a fight.His racing heart increased per m
Liam sat at the foot of the stairs and stared at the people in front of him. They were delusional if they thought that he'd want to have any conversation with them."Why can't you unveil yourself?" He replied instead and the leader chuckled. This was a ploy to make him reveal his identity. If he did, then everyone would be able to figure out where exactly he came from."I don't think that's appropriate or what do you think?" Liam counted slowly, his friends should be arriving anytime soon so if he could just keep them busy for the next few minutes, reinforcement would have appeared. "I don't think I want to have any discussion with you right now because that could be a slap on my face and intelligence." He responded rudely.The leader's eyes turned grim at the statement. Liam sure did have guts but the problem was that it wasn't going to take him anywhere. "I don't know why people tend to misbehave when they are in dire situations. What should we call this? Bravery or sheer stupidit
Chapter 183Clara didn't know how best to reply to that question. If he was truly a friend of Henry then he should know what was going on. " Oh, I think he's fine, getting better, but still unconscious though." She lied. Actually, that was one of the reasons she called Henry back apart from the loud bang she heard. Pops had woken up just a few minutes earlier. The doctor had come to check up on him and he was certified okay."Oh, is that so?" Ryan sounded genuinely perplexed and according to what he heard, they said he was dead. " Yeah, didn't Henry tell you? I thought you are his friend." She said, whatever he said now was going to be a litmus test right now. She knew the way these things worked and was trying to stall. After all, Henry would soon be out of the toilet. " Or aren't you close friends?" "We are, I guess he didn't want me to be worried about him" "I don't know him too well, but I know that he was a good man. Unfortunately, some set of stupid people are trying to sabot
Chapter 184Henry didn't waste time in locating the person who fired the shots. It was no one but Jess and he was shocked to his bone that she could even attempt to save them."I love you baby!" Liam jumped up immediately and pulled the trigger at Ryan causing him to stumble and almost hit the ground.George, sensing potential freedom, rose from his position and bundled towards Ryan who was rubbing his sore legs. It was a double bullet. He didn't wait till he recovered before falling atop him. Ryan was utterly shocked when he saw that the tables had turned. "Get off me, you oaf." He grunted from beneath George and tried to shake him off but found it hard to do that so he bit him.George, who was stubborn, persisted in making sure that he didn't leave.Henry also joined the party by knocking the gun out of his hands. Ryan was pretty helpless at this point, he bit George on the hand again, this time almost removing the chunk of flesh that surrounded his hand but George made sure that h
