“Sean, Nina, I've decided,” Eren said as soon as they were all seated in his office. “We're going to charge Malcolm and Audrey with theft of property,” Malcolm said in a meeting with Sean and Nina on how to go about their stolen company.

Sean nodded, her eyes reflected on the pain of losing her husband. “I agree, Eren. It's time they face the consequences of their actions. Eren. We can't let them get away with what they've done.” Sean

Eren handed them each a copy of the court letter he had prepared. “My lawyers will serve them with this tomorrow,” he said. “It's time to take back what's ours.”

Back in Malcolm and Audrey's sitting room, Sarah, their lawyer, seated across from them.

“I've reviewed the court letter,” Sarah said with a grave tone. “This will not be easy, but we can fight this.”

Malcolm clenched his fists, “What do we need to do?” he asked.

Sarah sighed. “The only way we can win this case is if we have the original documents from the company,” she explained. “Without them

    One guard stepped forward. “We caught him breaking into the apartment,” he explained, his words coming out in a rush. “There was a struggle, and then… he was shot.”Eren was worried. He knew that John's death would only complicate their already precarious situation. His death will make it difficult for them to know his exact mission in the building.Malcolm and Audrey received news of the failed mission through one of their allies, who had been present at the scene. At first, they were angry because his mission failed but, at the same time, happy that John had not been caught alive. “How could this have happened?

    We're here,” Malcolm Miller said as he stood in front of the metal door together with Audrey Williams.Creak! Creak! Creak! The door opened as they both walked in. The sight in front of them was a weak, thin man who looked no better than a skeleton, his spar hair clung to his face as his cheeks boned out, and his eyes sunk in. He looked like a walking dead, coupled with his hospital outfit.Audrey was endowed with beauty and grace, her small oval face donned with blue eyes and a high nose bridge, coupled with her enchanting figure and her blond hair. Malcolm stood out equally handsome but with a hint of fierceness around his handsome countenance, his light brown amber eyes had a touch of arrogance, and his Black wavy hair shined like that of volcanic glass. “Brother, l can see you are still alive, this is great, so i hope the service here is to your liking,” Malcolm said as he saw the weak man. “Malcolm, Audrey, you two traitors, forget it I will never sign that agreement, l w

    Eren signed the papers and returned the documents to Malcolm. “Let's get the hell out of here Audrey, our work here is done.,” Malcolm said as he held Audrey and they both walked out.“Eren has tried, we should give him a gift, don't you think, Audrey?” Malcolm asked Audrey as they descended the slope in their Macbeth car.“Of course, we should give him a present, what present will suit Eren more, let me think, oh ah death, we can kill him.To be honest, death will be best, Eren is a threat as long as he's alive, let's kill him now that we have milked out his value”. Audrey said as she tapped her fingers on her jaw “Wow, you always know what I am thinking. Okay, let's kill him.” Chris alerted Hanks to take him out, don't make it too painful, he is still my brother, Malcolm told the driver as if he were talking about the weather and not someone's life. “Taken sir”.......

    Chugging a bottle of water down his throat, Eren made his way to the speed boat packed some meters away from him.As soon as he touched the boat, the influx of information about how to drive a speed boat ran through his memories. Before this moment, Eren had no sailing experience whatsoever. But now his wealth of experience overshadowed that of a sailor who spent decades sailing. He could feel every part of the boat as an extension of his body. It was simply marvelous.With an excited roar, Eren started the engine as he went off to New York City, the city that never sleeps.…In one of the highest-rising buildings in Washington, DC. “Is he dead?” Malcolm asked Hanks in a bid to seek confirmation from him as he swirled the cup in his hands while walking towards the glass walls.

    "Don't worry, l will save your grandpa, Eren said somewhat emotionally.” Seeing her little face filled with tears, Eren decided to save the grandpa because he could save him, not because of a reward.As Eren knelt beside Grandpa Huo, he flicked his hands and beautiful slim silver needles appeared in his hands. Just as the crowd saw it, they began to murmur and doubt his abilities.Crowd 1: Young lady, are you sure you want him to treat your grandpa, l suggest you wait for the medical team. He may be a quack doctor.Crowd 2: Exactly he may complicate issues, he looks too young to know traditional medicine.As such voices sprang up, Yuri began to waver in her decisions. Finally, she gazed at Eren with cold eyes she began “l believe you can save my grandpa, but if you are found to be the cause of my grandpa's death, you will bear serious consequences, do you accept these conditions, if you don't, you're free to back out now”.Eren merely answered by drilling the needles beside Grandp

    “She's cute," Eren smirked as she ran away. As Eren turned to leave, the crowd automatically parted in two, providing space for Eren to pass through. Seeing this, Eren sighed “As expected, the crowd always respects the strong, if i screwed up with Mr. Huo's treatment of this group of docile people would have bitten my head off but because l succeeded l enjoy such respect, such a funny belief.” [Ding!!!

    "Manager Zhang" a coquettish voice rang out as Alissa threw herself at the bald greasy man. Manager Zhang and the other staff greeted each other in unison. Deep down, the staff hated and looked down on Alissa, she sold herself to such an old man and worked as she pleased with no manners but no one could do anything to her. Meanwhile, manager Zhang was enjoying every bit of that soft skin rubbing against him as she whined: “Baby, you have to get justice for me, I was trying to advise her to stop giving some clients excess refreshments as there are more clients, but Bella scolded me and threatened to report me to management.” Alissa complained as she squeezed tiny tears from her eyes to make her seem pitiful.Bella:(….)Customers (….) Sales consultant (…) Everyone was simply speechless, this was the life definition of calling black white, the peak of shamelessness. As expected, Manager Zhang fell for her act “Who did it, who is Bella?” Manager Zhang roared. “Sir, it's me, but I

    Chapter 48 : The Confrontation

    Eren sat alone in his office, thinking about Malcolm and Audrey's betrayal for the second time. He realized he had to act fast to reclaim what was his, if not for him, but for Sean and Nina. They need the company now more than ever. Taking the business back from Malcolm will be the best revenge they can get for Fred's sudden death.Lost in thought, he noticed when the door creaked open. He looked up to see Grandpa Huo standing in the doorway. The old man's presence brought a sense of calm to the room, his wise eyes seeming to pierce through Eren's troubled mind.“Eren, my boy,” Grandpa Huo said, “I've heard about what happened with Malcolm and Audrey. It's a tough situation you're in.”Eren nodded. “I won't let them get away with this, Grandpa,” he vowed.“That's the spirit, Eren. But remember, that like you do, Sean and Nina also require you to fight alongside them to get what is theirs. You must also consider what's best for the staff in that company because, from the information I

    Chapter 47: Confession

    In one of FAH's office cafeterias, staff members gathered in small groups, their voices low and tense as they discussed the closure of Malcolm's company and the allegations against Malcolm and Audrey.“I heard they got shut down because of some legal trouble,” whispered one employee, her eyes darting around.“Yeah, and I learned Malcolm and Audrey are being accused of stealing the company from Eren and Fred,” another added, her tone filled with disbelief.As the gossip spread like flame, John, who had been keeping a low profile, asked some staff members some strange questions about FAH. He seemed interested in FAH company's operations and its connections, rather than concentrating on his department. He asked questions about the CEO and wanted to have seen off to other staff present there.One loyal staff member, sensing something amiss, informed Eren about John's inquiries. She approached him, her heart pounding with nervousness.“Mr. Eren, I need to talk to you,” she said, her voice

    “I don't understand, Detective. Why am I being questioned? What's going on?” Malcolm demanded, with a voice filled with frustration and confusion.The detective leaned forward, his gaze piercing. “Mr. Malcolm, we have reason to believe that you and Ms. Audrey here are involved in some illegal activities regarding your company”Malcolm's heart skipped as Audrey, who was seated beside him, gasped in surprise. “But that's not true! That company is our livelihood, we would do nothing to jeopardize it,” Audrey protested.The detective raised an eyebrow skeptically. “Well, that's not what the evidence suggests. We have received a complaint from Mrs. Sean, stating the you and Ms. Audrey have stolen the company from her husband, Fred, and his friend Eren. She claims that the original documents are not in your possession.”Malcolm was shocked to receive the news. He began to woset how Sean got the balls to challenge him. He tried to make sense of the situation. Sean and Nina, behind this? It c

    Audrey took a deep breath. Her fingers were trembling as she dialed John's number. The phone rang once, twice, before John picked up.“John, it's Audrey,” she said, her voice was urgent. “We have a problem. Our investors are pulling out one after the other. Malcolm is worried sick. Have you noticed any of them at FAH?”John's voice came through the line in a calm and collected way. “I have seen none of them, but I can look into it. Do you have any information on which investors to investigate?”Audrey relayed the names of the investors who had pulled out, hoping that John could discover any connections they might have to FAH.“Got it,” John replied. “I'll start digging right away and let you know if I find anything.”Audrey hung up the phone, her mind raced with worry. If their investors were pulling out because of FAH, Malcolm's company could be on the verge of bankruptcy.She rushed to Malcolm's office, finding him pacing back and forth, his face lined with stress.“Malcolm, we need

    Malcolm's private investigator, John, stepped into the sleek, modern lobby of FAH's mining headquarters. Dressed in his best suit and armed with a crafted cover story, he was ready to dive into his new role and gather valuable intel for Malcolm and Audrey.John approached the reception desk, where a young woman with a friendly smile greeted him. “Welcome to FAH Mining. How can I assist you today?”“Good morning,” John replied, flashing his most charming smile. “I'm here for an interview for the mining technician position. My name is John Smith.”The receptionist checked her computer and nodded. “Ah, yes, Mr. Smith. Please have a seat, and someone will be with you.”As John settled into a plush chair in the waiting area, he couldn't help but feel an ache of uneasiness. This was it -the first step in his mission to penetrate FAH and discover their secrets.After a few minutes, a man in a sharp suit emerged from the hallway and approached John. “Mr. Smith, I'm Mark, the hiring manager.

What makes this village so special?” Eren leaned in, his interest piqued.Yuri shared her findings, describing how the people of Bagons were isolated but had advanced technology beyond anything they'd ever seen. Eren listened, envisioning the possibilities for FAH.“This could be huge for FAH,” Eren said, excitement clear in his voice. “We need to figure out how to connect with them and learn from their knowledge.”“I'm already working on a plan to contact Bagons. With your help, I know we can do it.” Yuri nodded, feeling grateful for Eren's support.As they discussed, their plans, Grandpa Huo joined them, as he sensed the excitement in the air.

    Chapter 42 : FAH'S Growing Threat

    In that fancy conference room in Malcolm's company, the room was filled with tension. Malcolm and his wife Audrey sat at the head of a long table. Various investors, their faces stamped with worry, filled the remaining seats. The place was heavy with anticipation as the meeting started.Mr. Rodriguez, a strict-looking man with a file in hand, spoke up first. “Malcolm, Audrey, we've been hearing disturbing rumors about your business operations. It's been said that you haven't been entirely honest with us.”Malcolm's eyebrow furrowed as he exchanged a worried glance with Audrey. “I assure you, we've always operated with integrity,” he replied, his voice tinged with concern.Mrs. Thompson, a middle-aged woman with a steely gaze, chimed in. “But I heard about the recent news of FAH. It's been making waves in the market, and it seems like our company has been crumbling because of it, and you've been keeping it a secret from us.”Audrey, her hands clasped together, spoke up in defense. “We
