The Billion-Dollar Windfall: Edwin Volvox CHAPTER 29
"You mean it? Like joining your gang?" Edwin's face lightened up in excitement in correlation to what was just said."Yes, join my gang, that's the only way you can take revenge on your enemies. You want to go against the corps right? Then you must be one of the bad guys? You must take no for an answer, to be at your best strength, show them the worst." Klaus was spilling with gripping action."You mean I should join the bad guys? Then I will have my revenge?""Yes, you will. I and my gang will go to any length just to help you. As long as you swear your loyalty to us, and you promise that you would stay glued to anything, I mean anything we say." Klaus stated.Edwin had some sort of excitement gleaming in his eyes. "I will, as long as you teach me how to use guns, fight well, and use weapons as necessary." He had the eagerness of wanting to know more and it amazed Klaus."As I said earlier on, as long as you are willing to know more, I'll definitely be of help." he paused before he s

Edwin had to pause his food immediately and then stare at them. "Alaric, Tony, Xander, Draco?! What's the problem you are speaking of?""Boss, it's Perry. We don't know how best to say this, but we do feel like he has something up his sleeves. I tracked him just like you said and then I realised that he has been talking to a particular number over and over again. And…""And!" Edwin repeated."He will be meeting with the owner of that same number tonight. But no worries boss, because I did track his number. So we can tail him wherever.""Jeez… Why didn't you guys say anything?" Edwin arched a brow in confusion."We were just celebrating one victory, boss. Bringing this immediately in, could have been quite uncomfortable, so we decided to at least wait till dinner is over." Tony reported. "But Alaric said no.. He convinced me.""Well Alaric is right, Tony. As long as we are still in this mission, there is really no rest until we hit our goals.""My apologies, boss.""No need. Now, let's

"Boss, he moved already, what do we do?" Xander asked immediately."We do nothing, just follow him. Let's see where he's heading to." "Alright biss." Xander also stepped on the gas and fired on. Tailing right behind Perry keeping a far distance so as not to be noticed.Navigating corners, accelerating speeds, just as Perry did. Just then Perry drove into an unexpected place."All along, they expected that he was going somewhere incriminating, but then he drove and stopped right in front of a bar instead.'The Lort' One of the specialty bars in Eastcliff."Boss, should we go to spy on him? He doesn't recognise us. He might have come to meet somebody, also he could be the image behind the symbol X."Edwin had thought he was the only one who saw things that way, but now that his men were saying it, he did believe that it was possible that Perry might actually be the villain."Boss, we need to act fast." The duo persuaded again and immediately he agreed. "Fine, you guys should go and ma

"Perry, meet at home right now?!" Edwin getting to know about the situation was never in the plan.Now, all thanks to the slutty Lydia, all the instructions were blown out. Perry thought briefly."I'll do that immediately, boss." His legs wobbled, not for the fear of Edwin, but for the fear of losing his family.The moment he dropped the call, he faced Lydia and said. "I shouldn't meet you here by the time I return.""Don't yell at me. I was only trying to save your fearful ass," she yelled back.Upon Perry's entry into his vehicle, he contemplated informing the gang about meeting Edwin. Perhaps they could tail him, get to Edwin and then release his own family.Perry was thrown into a pool of confusion behind the steering wheel such that he had to bury his head into the wheel and take a deep breath before he stepped on the gas."There's no harm in trying. Let me see if my boss can be of any help at all." Those were his final words before he zoomed off.Thankfully, Edwin had sent him a

"What's the plan, boss?" Everyone of them asked Edwin curiously."Well, I would deliver myself into their hands, so Perry's family can be free. They do not deserve to be pulled in the middle of this bulshit.""That's not possible. We could find some other way around this, like making someone else look like you, boss." Alaric said immediately, leaving an agitated look on the face of others as they also had things they wanted to say.Edwin changed his stance in relation to Alaric's suggestion. "Let's see to that Alaric. What if they get to kill this person in question, then his blood would be on my neck? We'd forever live with that guilt.""So which is preferable? Getting our hands soiled in blood, or I die in his place?"Everyone had a paled expression, an unsatisfied sigh filled the air. Clearly none of them was buying his idea, but his mind was made up and he would stop at nothing but to see to it that Perry's family were saved."You all shouldn't mourn me in case I die. Just make su

"That's fine then, if you don't believe me, then I guess I'll just tell my boss that the client couldn't make it. Goodnight." Let it be known that even while Perry said this, he prayed inwardly that they would at least fall for it.He was just about cutting the call when he heard the voice say. "Wait a minute. Are you sure you aren't trying to rat us out or you aren't trying to hand us over to the police? Because if you try anything funny, consider yourself and your family gone!"The word 'Gone' made a resound in Perry's ear a couple of times. Nevertheless, he stuck to the plan."By morning, just meet me at the address I would forward to you, make sure you come with my family, it's a deal yeah?!"Reluctantly, the voice responded. "You had better be right about this."Perry felt his heart thump hard against his chest the moment he dropped the call. In fear, he bolted towards the window pane, making sure everything was tightly locked and then the door.He felt those guys could be quite

“Since I work here, I am close to being the owner of the place, therefore, I wouldn't allow you to make the rules here, I will be the one making the rules.” Micheal, the waiter insisted.However, Edwin remained silent because he knew that whatever rules he set would definitely catch up with him, it definitely had no effect on Edwin at all.Edwin wasn't the only one interested, other customers had also stopped their meals, turned their heads towards their place.Some even went on to mock Edwin just as Micheal had done. “He doesn't dress rich, yet he comes here to get something rich.”“Has he forgotten that this isn't just an ordinary restaurant? It's a restaurant with five ratings and therefore anyone would do anything possible just to say they want to have a taste of the services here. So it shouldn't surprise you at all.” another person said to the one who had spoken earlier on.“I can't imagine a full grown man walking into The Loft and amongst everything that The Loft offers, he o

"Everyone, go down on the floor right away?" Gun was fired into the air, after which, three masked men, dressed in black walked in, tailing behind a woman and her two kids, holding onto pistols.Hurriedly, the whole restaurant had scattered, everyone on the floor shivering in fear.Of course, Edwin wasn't left out, to make it look convincing enough, he needed to go down as others did.Perry had given them codes as regards Edwin's dressing, so it wasn't difficult recognising where he was.The moment Perry sighted them, he lurched towards his family emotionally, but then he was prevented from touching them.One of the masked men pointed a gun at him. To his amazement, Perry raised a brow in confusion. "I have done what I was supposed to do, I've fulfilled my end of the bargain, why the opposition?""As long as we aren't done here, you have no access to your family yet. The moment we are done, you get them." The masked man rattled with no ounce of emotion.Perry was left with no option b

Edwin was immediately agitated by the knock on the door. He had called his guys to stay away from home, if they had, then who was at the door?All this he thought to himself in a daze."You have somebody at the door, man, go check." one of them teased him. He balled his fist in anger, strolling towards the door. The first thing he did was peep through the hole."Damn! Is she dumb!" he mumbled to himself, balling his fist, then opening up, he raised his voice to say. "What are you doing he…"Before he could finish, she raised a bag to him. "What else would I be doing here, if not for the fact that Mum asked me to come over with this plate of soup." Helen didn't allow him to finish his statement before she strode past him into the house."Hele…" her name hung in his mouth immediately while he watched her walk in.Upon getting into the living room, she froze to her feet when she sighted Brandon and his men, her legs turned jelly-like as well while she wondered what was happening.Howeve

CHAPTER 112
At first, Edwin paused when he heard the masculine voice call him, he was expecting a feminine voice and that of Helen to be precise, but here he was meeting another thing entirely."Kendel!" Edwin was first of all struck to the spot. No other person called him by that name except for the Meritual gang, only they addressed him by that name."Are my ears playing tricks on me, or is this reality?" he asked himself, with a creased brow for a minute. Thereafter, fastened his step towards the door.He would never make the mistake of opening the door without the loophole anymore. Helen's case had taught him a lesson.Once bitten, twice shy.He checked the loophole and there, he met the shock of his life. It was Brandon.This time, it wasn't just Brandon, but Brandon was with other members of the gang.He at first headed from peeking through the hole, brushed through his face with his palm to be sure he wasn't dreaming and then he checked but it was still the same thing."What could they be

"Alaric is something up with you?" Alaric didn’t expect Draco or anyone to come around then, so he was startled.Giggling, he forced himself to say. "It's pretty nothing, I just came here to have a drink!" he sipped from the cup again."A drink, for over three hours?""Three hours! How is that even p.." he hurriedly checked his wristwatch only to realise that Draco was indeed right.He had spent over three hours drinking and soliloquising."Is it a girl issue?" Draco took a seat to level with him. "Hmmm… could it be a girl problem?" Draco hurriedly leaned closer. "I thought your woman was back. So why brood further?" Draco was inquisitive.Staring blankly, Alaric said to him. "Maybe I want more than that. Maybe I want more than what I'm getting." he sipped another round from his cup, but then this time, Draco collected it back from him."Hey, enough of it, Alaric! Time to stop drinking." Draco repeated, taking the wine far away.Alaric sighed and leaned against the cellar table before

"Yes boss, I think we should carry them along. They deserve to know everything that's happening so they can know where to come in." Alaric advised and just immediately, Edwin dailed Mr Yen's number."Mr Yen!" "Edwin, is there a problem?" He asked immediately, even though he could at first be heard analysing some aspect of the case with Ariana which showed their dedication to the case."There is a problem, Mr Yen. And for now, I don't think there is a solution to it yet." Mr Yen was immediately agitated. "Please fill me in." be requested."The guilty in this case. Kimberly has put the life if the judge on a stake and now, Klaus the most dangerous underground warlord had declared that I look into her case. He wants dirt on her. In one word, Kimberly wants her license revoked.""This is totally against the law." Mr Yen was instantly confused about what to do. "I'm confused, Edwin. If this judge doesn't declare judgment and he is successfully able to revoke her licence to practice law,

CHAPTER 109
“Let’s elope together at least you would be free from the grasp of your old man. He would seize to have a hold over you. We can have the world to ourselves. Ciara shot him a surprised gaze and then she chuckled. Unlike her old man husband, a lot of things excited her about Draco, and she was ready to elope with him if that's what it would cost her to have a good life. At least, Draco was rich, handsome, intelligent and overall, good in bed.Then what else would she want in a man? All these she thought to herself immediately.“That's a great idea,” she leaned closer to him. “Now, tell me is this a proposal? Are you giving me a proposal?”He smiled in return. “Well, it could be whatever you call it, but honestly I want you by my side every single day and I want to grow old having access to this beautiful body and the owner of the beautiful body.” Draco responded leaning closer as well and intoxicating her with his deep masculine voice that tingled like that of an angelic tone in her e

"What problem do we have here again?" Edwin sounded frustrated."Nothing, really, boss. I'm just so concerned about the reputation of the judge. It wouldn’t be fair to see the innocent woman suffer for what she never did. That is the real law and judgement.""You are right Tony. I understand that." Edwin sighed deeply before he then continued. "You know what, let's have this discussion tonight with everyone during facetime meeting.""Alright boss. Good idea.""You would need to excuse me now Tony, I need to settle Klaus.""We will be waiting for you by nightfall, boss." The call ended immediately.***** On the other hand, Xander had being the one staying with Linda. Since the moment they had repaired their relationship, its being difficult to let her out of his sight.Nervously resting against his lap while she awaited the court results."Still nervous, yeah?" Xander was reading a book but then his other hand was utilised to brush through her brown blonde hair to calm her down."I do

"What if she doesn't have any dirt, what if she's clean?" Edwin asked Klaus he sought ways to discourage Klaus. Even though he knew it might not work, he still wanted to try."There is no harm in trying, is there? Moreover I don't intend to stain my relationship with the K5, it would go a long way to affect me…no one goes against them and remains alive. They are rulers, an unshakable power of the society." Klaus responded affirming his point of view."And if there is none, if no dirt is found, make sure to create one. It's her against us and we must win this time around." Klaus was clear enough after which he ended the call.Edwin gulped hard with the thought of how best he was going to get that done. This same lady is the only way to their salvation as well. Moreover, how would he destry her career just for the sake of some country crazy men.He shook the thought off, and then began to think of how he could accomplish his new mission. On a quick thought, the best person to do the jo

Fuming in anger, he couldn't contain it anymore, his ego had been hurt and he felt he could burn down the whole city."Mr Van, if we would be working in cooperation together I think it's best that you follow my ins…""I don't take instructions from anyone. I’ve been in the business world since you were born and I've been facing cases on cases, so if you don't know how best to defend me then I think you either shut up or get relieved from your duties.,"Despite the fact that Brawly was trying to ignite a discussion so he could help, Kimberly's ego wouldn't allow a space for such.He wanted to control everyone at his fingertips and would want everyone to worship him as well.After considering and figuring out Kimberly's behaviour, Brawly decided to keep his low."Give me the name of that disrespectful judge." Kimberly's voice thundered."What judge Mr Van?" Brawly had already turned confused so he decided to ask so he could clarify."Are you dumb? What judge did we both meet with today?

CHAPTER 105
Not until Ciara felt his arm tug at her waist, did she realise that there was trouble.She shuddered when his hands touched her, and her brows constricted from irritation.Why is he touching me? She told herself and at the same time was just about making an attempt to turn his hands off when she remembered he accused her of cheating.If she pulled herself out of his embrace, he was going to suspect her more.Deep down, she irritably said to herself. "Calm down Ciara. Accommodate him, it's all for a short time." she told herself.The following day, the court was buzzing with whispers from various people. Even Kimberly had wondered where the faces had come from.He wouldn't have told anyone except his immediate family members that he was going to undergo a trial. Looking around and seeing different faces whispering he was still confused as to where they had come from.Nevertheless, it was time he focused on the case at hand, he had to win it.One other thing was missing, the fact that h
