A convoy left Jordan’s home in the morning, taking less than ten minutes to ascend. Some guards were left behind to guard the house. In the first car, Jordan, Ana, and Mariela sat at the back with Jordan’s personal driver, who was none other than the major behind the wheel.The drive was quiet. No tension at all. It was like something was whispering to them that fate had laid the table of their victory before them.After about twenty minutes, things turned from cool in Jordan’s car to restlessness. Mariela just noticed that no one was asking her for directions. What was worse, the car had veered off in the opposite direction from what she expected. “We missed the direction, guys. This is not the way to boss Elias’ mansion. It is the other route that we have left.” Mariela spoke with restlessness and confusion.“We are on the right route. Keep driving, Major!” Jordan said it
Jordan finally found his way in. Parking at the parking lot, he looked at Ana and Mariela, who was trembling with fear of what lay ahead of her after screwing things up. “Get down," he ordered.Ana got out through the same door with Mariela, keeping watch on her. Now that she knew Mariela had ruined everything, Ana was afraid that she might try to escape them. She walked close to her as they made their way to Jordan. “What do we do with this one?” Ana implored.Jordan looked at Mariel with rage and contempt, while Mariela evaded their gazes as she waited for her case to be decided. Her ears were paying close attention to Jordan as his words made their way to her ears despite the commotion in the busy place. “Nothing, for now. We will keep her beside us until the end of today. I think she needs to see what we do to our enemies so that she can prepare herself for her own punishment.”A cold jounce of fear skint down Mariela’s spine, almost paralyzing her. It seemed that a stark punishme
Jordan turned to Major. “What is the state of your boys?” He asked.“Boss, they said they were able to get in. I just directed them here.” The major responded.Jordan nodded, turning to the officer. “we…” He was just about to speak when a loud noise was heard—screams coming from the direction of the entrance. Immediately, they saw a convoy of speeding cars approaching. They were being driven so recklessly that people had to jump out of the way, causing a very big mess and a loud commotion that disrupted the tranquility of the whole place. Some people even fell into the pools as they feared for their lives.“And here comes the governor himself.” The officer said“What a mannerless moron! The batard does not even have respect for the commoners. How can they drive at such a speed and up to the door of the hotel? What happened to the VVIP parking that he had to endanger people’s lives like this?” Jordan was fuming mad, riled by the reckless actions of the governor.Just then, Jordan’s bo
Jordan looked at the men before him with a flat expression, denoting neither danger nor appreciation of what the men were implying. No word was said, but with a single slight eye gesture, Jordan’s men shut the opposing men down, pulling their bodies to the corner. The move was swift and silent, with the help of the silencers.Jordan signaled some of the men to stand guard outside the entrance, their eyes darting all over the area. He forged forward with Major, the two ladies, and a group of ready-for-war soldiers. Each step Jorda took was fueled by the desire to slit the throats of those people. He forged with long, silent strides, his eyes resembling those of a predator as he crept inside the villa and along the dimly lit hallways. A hint of merriment could be heard within, with the faint sounds of faraway laughter and clinking glasses.They reached the door, and since there were only men left, they took him out in a snap. The door was held open for him.His heartbeat quickened as he
“I am.” Jordan gave a very simple and straight answer.The governor froze beside Mr. Dominick. He had seen the video and heard the horrifying emerging stories about the most-feared rising man. What he did not know was that he was bound to come face-to-face with the man, and that too, that soon. Now, as he faced Jordan, whose expression was too cool to be trusted, he wondered what fate held for him. Would all his dirty laundry be exposed, and he would be left to face public humiliation, disrespect, impeachment, and finally jail?“Governor? You seem too worried." Jordan spoke as he massaged his gun, his eyes searching the governors.The governor took a deep breath and knelt before Jordan; his hands collapsed into prayer mode. “Look,” he began, his voice so faint as he pleaded for his life. “I have absolutely nothing to do with your vengeance. I was not there when these people killed your family and...“So, you knew what they did, huh?” Jordan cut him, and the governor felt a ripple of f
“Boss? What do we do? I think we should get out of here right this minute before the corpses trace us." The major said.Jordan nodded. He knew that was the right thing to do. They had been compromised, and each passing second counted a lot. “Well, I also do not want to be caught. So, can we put this charade aside and leave this place before we all end up behind bars? I am sure, Mr. Rivers, you do not want to go to jail this soon before you complete your mission.” Mr. Dominick chipped in, sampling a ray of hope for his survival. In his mind, he thought he had a chance to escape Jordan’s wrath now that the police had been notified. And hearing them agree about leaving stroked his glee.Jordan turned to the oblivious man, and until Dominick saw the look in Jordan’s eyes, he didn’t know how wrong he was to think that he had even just a slim chance to live. He froze as Jordan pointed a gun at his head. His breath was cut short as he looked at the weapon that was about to send him to the ne
The night air was harsh and chilly as Jordan and his men stepped out. Jordan's demeanor was determined as he led his crew away from the chaotic scene while navigating through the shadows. His expression stayed unwavering, and the icy determination driving his chase was reflected in his gaze.Police sirens sounded in the background, getting louder as they got closer to the site. “Jordan? What the heck happened? Why are the police here?” Officer Adamson, after hearing the police sirens, met Jordan at the entrance. He looked worried, just like anyone in his shoes would be. He had summoned all his team and some of Jordan’s men who were outside.“I will explain later. Right now, we need to get out of here ASAP! They cannot catch us.” Jordan responded in a low-key voice.Officer Adamson thought for a second. Then, oblivious to his identity being compromised, he spoke. “You guys leave through the back. I will distract them when they get here so that you can escape. But be fast.”“I am afraid
The senior scoffed. “Like I said, I am not in agreement with how he is going around all this. But I also cannot cloak the amazement at how keen he is to take out his foes.” He noted.Mario’s brows furrowed. He shook his head slightly. “I am lost, sir. What are you talking about?” Mario asked.“In these two bloody scenes, there have been a lot of people around his targets. But not even a single innocent person has been hurt. You saw him evacuate the civilians in his first murder that went viral days ago, right? He is only focused on his prime targets. The man is even protecting the daughter of De’Luka, the same man he sent to jail and took everything from him. He is like a lion with a human heart.” The senior explained, his face denoting just how much he was moved by Jordan’s actions.The junior, Mario, could not overlook that idea either. I mean, they had encountered ruthless and careless criminals who ended up hurting even innocent people, and in some cases, things got so messy. Jord
