Xin was yawning, but his long yawn was disturbed when a mosquito flew into his nose and made him sneeze and cough at the same time. It was really a jarring experience, and it brought tears to his eyes. “Damn these motherfucking mozzies! These greedy blood suckers!” He cursed the mosquitoes and swatted them away. “I applied the repellent cream that cost me 60 cens, but some of these mozzies are too desperate. Maybe if I wear a vampire costume, they’ll be afraid of me? Nah, the vampires in movies are probably inspired from these little buggers. ” Four black vehicles stopped by. “Mm?” Xin couldn’t see who was inside because of their shady windows. Still, he got up lazily from his seat. If he were to help them and receive a handsome tip in return, it would be good for him. He knocked on the window of the first car. “Are you looking for directions, sir?” Seconds later, the window lowered. “Is this the apartment where SFF Charles stays?” asked the big guy sitting closest to Xin. “Charle
The deaths at the apartment were reported by the news channels as the work of a psycho killer. Sofia’s agent, Roger, was also found dead in his room, and it was reported that he committed suicide. Raven had visited the places of every target and killed them, except for four. Actress Reena wasn’t home, so he couldn’t kill her. Besides, he had his own plans for her. Instead of killing her, he wanted her to make her a sex kitten and use her to satisfy the desires of the rich politicians, businessman and what not. Reena had such popularity, after all. The second target he couldn’t finish was Selena Sterling. He had gone to the Sterling villa with the intention to kill her, and he sent three men into the villa, but none of them returned. Instead of rushing in, he left the place, thinking he should find out more about the Sterlings before going after them with a greater force. The third target Raven couldn’t finish was the Myers’ family. They were too rich, and how could their daughters
The sounds the intense kissing of Raven and Sofia made stirred Carlos’ blood. He grabbed a broom and thrust it right in their faces as they were kissing. And both of them got a ‘broomful’ of filth in their mouths. An onion peel entered Sofia’s mouth, and she was so disgusted by it, she ended up vomiting, though only saliva came out. Sofia wouldn’t have kissed just any man in public. Only after researching about Raven’s identity and finding out that he was the first son of Butcher Bones, the head of Black Feathers, the mafia gang that owned the country, she made her move boldly. Raven, on the other hand, loved getting extra attention from Sofia because of Carlos’ existence. She was the defying type who would require extra persuasion to get her to kiss you or hug you. And Raven loved that kind of a woman. Moreover, she was an actress and was the daughter of a billionaire. If he were to marry her, he could not only get all the clothing for his mafia members for free, but he could use t
Carlos had ended up sleeping on the edge of the rooftop. When he woke up, he thought he was really lucky to have not fallen down, but then he realized that his arm was actually tied to an iron rod using a white scarf. “Who did this?” He found it quite shocking. How was someone able to tie a scarf to his arm and not wake him out of his sleep? It greatly worried him because he was slipping into too deep of a sleep that he wasn’t able to wake up when it was needed. The same thing happened back in the hotel when he was in Sofia’s room. Moreover, how did this person even get onto the rooftop? He untied the scarf and sniffed it. There were too many vague scents on the scarf, but the smell of the dye was dominating everything else. It was probably picked up from a store, he thought. He walked around the edge of the rooftop, looking for signs of anybody climbing onto it, but he found none. The sealing at the stairs leading to the rooftop was still intact. “Just how did they get here?” he sc
The noises of the buses, the trains, the cars, and the blazing artificial lights of the traffic prevailed through the city streets, but the sky hundreds of meters above still belonged to the birds of prey during these busy nights. There was this peculiar quietness in the sky as Charles flew through the darkness, almost feeling what the hunters of night would feel. Thanks to the pollution, the air wasn’t fresh or crisp like the wind from Spring, but more than the noises of the traffic below, he could better hear the songs the birds made with their vocals and wings. The landscapes were definitely bright below, but the joy of flying in the sable sky only lit by the moon and the stars was indescribable. It was a thousand times better than walking on a footpath. After all, he wouldn’t be knowing the darkness in a visceral way and experience a much broader world by walking on the street like any other human. The sky offered him a wholly different view. Charles himself was a selfish man. H
The next evening. “I’m sorry, Mr. Evastar,” Langdon, the governor, was speaking on a private video call. “I assure you this won’t repeat again.” “It better not, or you will never be able to recover your lost reputation, Mr. Campbell,” the guy on the screen spoke. He was in a spa, being massaged by four nude women. “It won’t end just with that, though, if that video gets leaked outside, I’m afraid. That’s just how the underworld operates.” “I’ll look into it and make sure to send him to his grave soon.” The call ended. Langdon frowned and looked at the unclear video footage recorded at the port. He could see a masked man easily killing off almost 40 men all by himself. “Where the fuck did this monster come from? What kind of tech is he using to be able to jump so high?” the footage didn’t show Charles flying, so Langdon thought he just jumped high. “I hope it’s just some freak who watched too many superhero movies. Even if he’s not, I have to find out who he is and end his life. No
Carlos had revealed himself to Victoria because he wanted her to know that he was going to make her life difficult. However, it was his life that turned for the worse, big-time. The very next day, police barged into the SGNG store. Not only did they find underage kids Bob and Charlie working, they broke their way through to the top floor and supposedly found drugs in the small room. While Bob and Charlie were sent to an orphanage, Thomas was sentenced to six months of jail time. And a few more cases were filed against Thomas. A neighbor from where Thomas used to live came forward and claimed that he had be sexually assaulting her since 12 years, and that he also extorted over 15,000 dollars from her. The SGNG store was completely closed off indefinitely, and the police were searching for the owner Carlos, the real culprit. Many cases were filed against him. From being in possession of illegal assets, money laundering cases to ED cases and over 21 different cases were put on him. C
Gregory came home that night with two briefcases holding more than 20 million dollars in his hands. When he opened the briefcases in his room, Victoria seemed impressed. “So you finally earned something significant from gambling.” “Well, I wish I did,” Gregory chortled, then sprayed perfume all over the dollar notes before putting the briefcases in the closet. “The money was actually given to me by SFF Charles.” “Ho, really?” Victoria pondered for a little while. “I guess he’s fallen for our daughter then.” “Who doesn’t fall for her? She’s got both looks and fame,” Gregory’s chest grew in size as he talked about her. “Any man would love to stand beside her.” “Indeed, but have you heard with whom she's been dating recently?” “No.” “It’s… Raven Bones.” Gregory’s eyes widened. “By Bones… you don’t mean…” Victoria nodded. “The one and only Bones family.” Gregory went silent. He didn’t know how to take this. “They are going to use our stores for their fucked-up trade. How did Sofi
