Jake was introduced to a lady he had not seen when he had come in here.The members of the organization had put their hoods down for him to see their faces. He could already tell that they would never do so again.This would be a one-time thing and a one-time thing only. He really couldn't be bothered about all of that though. It wasn't like he knew most of their faces anyways.The world was a wide place and the people in it were even wider. The fact that he didn't know all of them didn't faze him. The faces that he did know though, the people who owned those faces surprised him. They were all high-profile billionaires and multi-billionaires. They were worldwide philanthropists and globally recognized business tycoons.These were the people that stood at the helm of his world, but seeing them act like timid little kids in his presence made him know that they had only just been lucky enough to graze a tip of the iceberg. The power Horizon possessed was one that could not be compare
Jane stared at the package in her hands and tried to process all that was happening."You say this is from his wife?"The delivery man in front of the mansion simply nodded his head and looked away. It would be hard to get anything from him so she didn't bother with trying to get anything from him.He didn't look like someone that would have the information she wanted and she wasn't underestimating him when she said it. He looked like a simple down to earth delivery man who might have received the package just so he would be tasked with the job of delivering it and thereby get his pay at the end of the day.And it was obvious from the way he looked at her that he recognized her and had not expectedly her presence here.It was common knowledge that she and Xavier were friends. The only thing the people didn't know about was the fact that there was also someone else in there who they should be more scared of than Xavier.She felt they were silly for being scared of Xavier just because h
Con looked at the tablet in his hands and tried to see where exactly the location he was being shown was. Xavier had encountered another problem with Lisa, she did something dangerous again without thinking of the consequences, and now her father had to solve the issue. There was a lot for him to do and lot more than he wanted to doAnyways, now that Lisa was out of the scene and Xavier was occupied with getting to her, there was space for him to carry out the research he had always wanted to. There was a surprising part of Lisa's discovery about her father and his files that they had all overlooked her discovering. There was much Xavier could do with the ice core but the problem remained the fact that he didn't know where the thing had come from.Lisa also wanted to know that and so did the rest of them, but what he suspected was that Xavier knew more than he was letting on. There was no reason for him to want to hide things from his daughter but Lisa was as inquisitive as anyone c
The Aedion was something Xavier had never seen in his life and one he wished he hadn't seen now that he had seen it.Lisa was still in her digital construct and with that came the knowledge that he had failed at trying to get her out of it.So far there was little to nothing that he could do for Lisa in whatever construct she had been trapped in and so far there was little he could do to help himself too.Con was already away on another one of his missions and this time he had refused to tell anyone what that mission was about.The little he had said was that he would be back and he had stood up and left.Aside from that, there was also the fact that his wife had delivered a package right to their doorstep.The lady Con had been married to while he was Derek Aer had delivered a package containing threats right to his doorstep and what was inside that package had been nothing more than a threat.Jane had been the one who brought it up and she had been scared at the moment. She was like
Glover city was the same as Jake had left it and he smiled as the plane landed.He was still yet to figure out where Adelaide had gone but he had a good idea. If the doctor had touched her then he would kill the doctor before making her suffer. His family businesses had probably been taken over by his asshole friends. They were all assholes but he would choose being the bigger asshole any day and any time than to be subject to their wickedness. After they had helped him locate the Aliyevs and he had failed, they had refused to offer him any more help after that.They had watched him try to locate the guy that had worked at Aubrey's company and who had slapped one of his bodyguards at the time.He still didn't have a clue as to where that person was up until this day, his memory had been damaged a bit after the initiation and now he had all these thoughts that weren't his floating through his mind. It annoyed him and disturbed him to be connected to people in this way. He wanted to h
Jane and Aubrey shared joint looks as Xavier went on with his work like nothing had happened. If it was ten years ago then he would have been the first person to go after his boss, riding his car into the darkness with guns, like a knight out to save a damsel in distress. Time had truly changed them but it was not surprise that it had changed them. Ten years ago they would have both gone after Con the minute they noticed he was missing. That was what had brought them to Orion city and after the collapse of the city and Con's disappearance, they had relented for a while, but they had never given up on him. They always kept hope in their hearts that they would find him, and they did. Xavier was probably just calm because he knew where Con was. Xavier raised his head up to meet the gazes of the two women staring at him. A slight smile spread on his face as he cocked an eyebrow up. "Why the glowering?" Jane peered at him through fine and delicate lashes. "You know where Con is d
Con stared at the file in his hands and the message Xavier had sent to him.The file was much more important than the message. He had gotten it. The information he had been searching for all this while.Horizon was bigger than what he had imagined. This world they were was one of their creations and the plans they had for it was much more evil than the plans he had tried to foil.The plans that had cost him his life and the plans that had made him feel like he had not a clue what he was doing in his career. There was much to do, too much for him to ignore it and act like nothing was happening.Xavier had sent him a message detailing their recent decisions.It wasn't really a message, it was more like they were trying to convince him of something.Xavier was saying they ought to relax and see what the future held for them as individuals, not just because of them but for all the people around them too.There was nothing after them and they ought to believe it and see that nothing was i
"He's not picking up is he?"Xavier shook his head and turned to look at the two ladies watching him. Jane and Aubrey were super worried about Con, and the fact that he was acting like a dickwad and not picking up any of their calls was something that had made them come to him.How they reasoned that Con would pick up his call when he had not picked theirs up baffled him, but he agreed to call the man all the same.Now that he was calling Con over the phone he was getting the same response. Static indifference. The call would ring and ring but no one would ever pick. Con would never cut a call directly, even when he didn't want to take the call. Instead he would stay back and watch as the call rang and imagine those on the other side panicking because they could not get him.He had done it to a number of commanders while they had worked as the military defense personally hired mercenary soldiers. He had done it to members of the team and he had done far worse to his uncle, it was ju
