2023-06-14 14:27:41"Thank you for reminding me what happened yesterday. I will never forget that incident. One punch from you means nothing to me. From now on, be prepared to receive more punches from me," Vincent challenged Edward.
"Wh-what do you mean, Vin?" Edward frowned. The man was too stupid to digest every word Vincent threw at him. He was too frightened by Vincent's threats.
Vincent flashed a mocking smile at Edward. The look in his eyes was so sharp, so vengeful that it pierced Edward's eyeballs. Vincent and Alvin didn't really care about him anymore. They immediately went to the Vice President's office.
Emma and Edward were still gawking, watching Vincent's back as he walked away from them. The two of them exchanged glances, wondering what had happened to Vincent this time.
After finding out that Vincent has full power in the company where she works, Emma now regrets that she broke off her relationship with Vincent yesterday.
"Stupid!" Emma blamed herself. She banged her forehead against the door of her office.
Arriving at the Vice President's office, Vincent was thinking of a plan to get back at Emma for betraying him. Also Edward who had dared to humiliate his pride in public. Both of them would feel the consequences.
"Young master, do you need anything?" Alvin offered.
"Bring me the profiles of the two employees. I want to see their portfolios and daily work reports," Vincent ordered.
"Yes, sir. I'll get it for you right away," Alvin complied.
Vincent sat in his oversized chair. He was looking at the huge glass window, right behind his desk. Vincent had something on his mind right now.
"It's time to pay them back for what they did to me," Vincent said with a sardonic smile.
Alvin returned to his employer's office. He handed over all the files Vincent had ordered. The files were the work reports of two of his employees, Emma and Edward. Vincent was curious about their performance. What achievements they had made for this company.
After looking through the profiles and work reports, Vincent immediately ordered Alvin to conduct a surprise inspection this afternoon. Vincent was to look directly into the workspaces of his subordinates.
"Is there something wrong with them, sir?" asked Alvin.
"I have a surprise for both of them," Vincent said.
"Surprise?" Alvin was confused.
"Just come with me later. You'll find out what I'm up to when I make a raid on these two," said Vincent. Again, he flashed his sardonic smile. This time right in front of Alvin, his secretary.
***
After lunch, Vincent, accompanied by Alvin, went round the office again. The two of them were going to conduct an 'inspection' without the knowledge of the employees.
At exactly 1pm, all employees were supposed to be at their respective workplaces, but Vincent found many employees who broke the rule. Most of them were still hanging around outside office hours.
"What the hell? Why aren't they in the office yet? Didn't break time end a few minutes ago?" Vincent was furious at Edward and Emma's empty office.
"As soon as they return, call those two people into my office! I'll give a stern warning to all undisciplined employees like them. Understood?" Vincent ordered Alvin.
"Yes, sir." Alvin immediately carried out his boss's orders. He rushed to call all the employees who had disobeyed the office hours rule.
A few minutes later, all the employees who were caught breaking the office rules had gathered in front of the Vice President's office. They looked upset, wondering what would happen to each of them after Vincent reprimanded them for their indiscipline.
It was Edward and Emma's turn to enter the Vice President's office. Vincent sat in his favourite chair with his arms crossed, watching them carefully. He was annoyed that their facial expressions looked flat. As if they were innocent.
'How annoying these two are,' Vincent thought.
"Vin, what did you call us for?" asked Emma who spoke casually. Alvin glanced at Emma. How rude! Calling her superior directly by name.
"Behave yourself, Miss!" scolded Alvin. He couldn't accept that a lowly employee like Emma dared to call his boss by name. It was unethical.
"I apologise, Mr Alvin," regretted Emma who immediately lowered her gaze. Edward smiled wryly seeing Emma, his girlfriend being reprimanded by Alvin.
"You know the rules of office hours, don't you?" Vincent asked Edward and Emma. "I don't like to see my employees who are not disciplined about time."
"We were only a few minutes late. It's also because of the traffic jam. Is that a problem?" Edward defended himself.
Edward came up with a classic excuse that only made Vincent more annoyed that the man dared to refute it.
"Of course that's a problem. Why do you have to leave the office? Can't you just take a break and have lunch at the canteen or the coffee shop around the office?" Vincent replied.
Edward was silent for a while after Vincent mentioned the coffee shop. He remembered the incident yesterday afternoon.
"That's ... because we ...." Emma tried to explain. However, Vincent interrupted her.
"I don't need your explanation. So, just shut up," Vincent interrupted. His tone of voice changed and slightly snapped at Emma.
"Rules are rules. You two can't just break the office rules for personal reasons," Vincent explained.
"Huh, so you're blaming both of us for not following the rules? Listen, Vin! We tried not to be late for work. But we didn't know that there would be problems on the way." Edward didn't accept the blame. According to him, Vincent was being too objective about his tardiness.
"Or perhaps, you deliberately want to get back at us for what we said yesterday?" Edward accused.
Vincent smiled at Edward's words. The man who had mocked Vincent was now silent. He knew the meaning of the smile on Vincent's lips.
Vincent got up from his seat. He walked over to Edward.
"You always remind me of yesterday. Should I retaliate against you now?" Vincent challenged.
Unlike Edward who fought Vincent, Emma was scared to death thinking about what sanctions she would receive after seeing Vincent get that angry with her. Especially after yesterday Emma had treated Vincent harshly.
Vincent would give Edward and Emma the punishment they deserved. He had been thinking about it for a while. The only way to get rid of a useless person like Edward who had too much behaviour and talked too much was to sack him.
"Ed! From now on you quit your job. You may leave my company," Vincent told him directly, bluntly. Without giving him a chance to correct his mistake.
"What?" Edward widened his eyes. He didn't understand Vincent's train of thought. Just because he was late for work, then Vincent sacked him outright dishonourably.

"As a leader, you've been unfair, Vin," Edward criticised."No! Don't do it, Vin!" defends Emma. Vincent only gave her a quick glance."Is there no other punishment than dismissal?" Edward was rather frightened to hear Vincent sacking him."Should I kneel down and prostrate myself before you to get forgiveness?"Edward's tone and demeanour instantly turned formal in front of the Vice President. Too late! Vincent was not easily provoked by his sycophantic ways."Go away! Scum like you don't belong in my company. The stench is too strong for me to let you hang around here," Vincent quipped as he lashed out at Edward. Emma screamed hysterically as she saw Vincent hit Edward."You saw that! Is this the loser you defended yesterday and keep comparing me to?" Vincent quipped.Emma was also shocked to hear their conversation. Alvin led Edward out of the vice president's office."Shit!"

"Don't come any closer, you bastard!" Milea half-shouted at a man who was trying to do something to her. It looked like he was going to be mean and insolent to her."What's wrong with you, sweetheart? Why are you avoiding me now?" The man continued to advance his steps, cornering Milea until she was leaning against the wall of a room."If you dare touch me, you're finished! You will die," Milea threatened.The man wasn't afraid of Milea's threat at all. Moreover, the woman seemed to be trembling as she said it."I just need your money, Milea. Give it to me quickly, otherwise I will spread your vulgar video all over the internet," the man threatened."What a loser! How dare you threaten me," Milea taunted while looking away."After your video goes viral, what will your father do to you? Maybe he'll throw you out and kick you off the family inheritance list." The man tried to provoke Milea. However, Milea was not afraid to fight him."Don't try to scare me! That video is just an edit. I

Vincent managed to find Milea in the city park. She was walking slowly and sitting on a swing near the playground where children usually play in the park. Her gaze was blank and she looked very sad. She was still thinking about the incident with her ex-boyfriend."Milea!" Vincent exclaimed as he approached her. Milea turned to him."Why can you always find me Vin?" Milea was surprised. She hurriedly wiped her tears that fell on her cheeks."Is my dad telling you to keep an eye on me now?" Milea guessed."Let's go home!" invited Vincent. He ignored Milea's question."I don't want to," Milea refused, looking away."We should go home first," Vincent persuaded. Milea did not say yes to Vincent's invitation."Your father is very worried about you, Milea," Vincent informed her. However, Milea did not take Vincent's word for it."I don't want to go home. My father has taken my place with you. Now, you are his son," Milea reasoned. However, the reasoning put forward by the spoilt child did no

Vincent was still thinking about everything Mr Eduardo had said. Suddenly a good idea came to him. He was going to redevelop his app. The one he had been working on.Vincent took another look at the microchip model he had just bought this afternoon via an online shop. He would put a microchip of his creation in Milea's mobile phone system. The microchip would function as a radar to track Milea's whereabouts.For hours, Vincent was still in front of his laptop. In fact, night had already turned into morning. Vincent hadn't slept all night. Today, he would test his microchip on Milea's mobile phone."Milea!" called Vincent. When they passed each other, Milea happened to have just come out of her room. She was about to head to the dining room to have breakfast with her father."Can I see your phone?

Why isn't Milea allowed in? She asked in surprise. Because Alvin ordered the security guards to tighten the security around the Vice President's room."Move aside!" ordered Milea rather fiercely at the two security guards standing in front of Vincent's office door."Sorry, Miss! Young Master Vincent does not allow you to enter his office," the security guards respectfully forbade in front of Milea."What did you say?" Milea was furious.

The Enemy Behind the Mask
In a dark harbour area filled with tall containers. It was raining heavily, making the ground slippery and the air filled with the smell of sea salt.Milea's quick steps echoed as she ran between the containers. Her breathing was now ragged, the black shadows of armed men looming over her every move. Her heart was racing, fear haunting every breath. However, she could handle it because she was used to being chased by criminals.Milea had a bad feeling since Vincent left home in a hurry without telling her. She knew why he left secretly. It was because Vincent didn't want Milea to get involved again.“Don't let her get away!” shouted one of his pursuers.Milea jumped over a wooden box and rolled into the back of a container. Her body was already soaking wet. She pressed her back against the metal wall, hearing the heavy steps getting closer. Quickly, she slipped further into the dark, narrow passage. She tried not to make a sound as she hid the
A Trusted Informant
Without hesitation, Ryuga burst through the burning door, even though his hands and face were beginning to burn from the overwhelming heat. His eyes were focused on only one thing-Milea.“Ryuga... hurry...!” Milea was terrified.Ryuga saw Milea falling in the corner of the room, blocked by a partially burnt table. Wasting no time, he ran towards Milea and picked her up. However, the flames were getting closer, and several burning wooden beams fell between them, blocking the way out.“Hold on a little longer, Milea! I'll get you out!”Milea, who had already lost a lot of energy, could barely hold on. Her body was shivering, her face was pale, and her eyes were starting to blur as the smoke obscured her vision. Plus, her leg was injured.Ryuga held Milea's hand, clasped it tightly, and tried to calm himself down. The smoke was getting thicker, and the sound of the raging fire was choking the air. In that very critical conditio
Key in the Dark
Milea struggled alone with all her strength. The narrow walls of the room where she was kept felt like a cold iron cage. She pushed her body towards the small window, trying to pry open the tightly fitted steel trellis, but her efforts were in vain. Her legs were still hurting, and she couldn't walk if she tried.“There must be a way out of here,” she hissed, biting her lip as frustration crept into her mind.Milea twisted her body, her eyes scanning every corner for an opening. However, the security designed by her uncle, Nakamura, was too tight. Hidden cameras watched every move, and the electronic locks on the doors were impossible to penetrate without proper access.Nakamura, a man with a cold and calculating aura, stood in the control room on the other side of the building. Beside him, Ryuga-his son and leading member of the Ryuujin-kai-was watching the monitor screen with a gaze full of turbulent emotions.“You're being too hard on
A War that Starts in the Family
Vincent's eyes widened in surprise as his tablet lit up with running codes, emitting a cold blue light in the dark room. The basement where he was hiding suddenly felt more cramped. The sound of footsteps echoed above his head-they were getting closer, he thought.“Milea, hang on!” Vincent was still trying to crack the secret code that seemed to be getting harder and harder to crack.There was a sound from the earphones in his ears. Lorenzo's heavy, hateful voice infiltrated his mind like poison.“How does it feel, Vin? Being the son of a traitor?” asked a chuckling Lorenzo on the other side of the encrypted communication.“Shut up! You know nothing about my father,” Vincent hissed, his fingers dancing over the keyboard at lightning speed. He was trying to crack the final access code that would open a way out of the digital trap Lorenzo had set.Vincent had thought that it was Ryuga who had set the trap. He was wrong, it was Lorenzo's decoy. There was a possibility that Ryuga had take
The Game of Revenge
Vincent was furious. He couldn't wait any longer to see Milea suffer being kept there.“I have to save her!” Vincent insisted.Darkness enveloped the narrow hallway as Vincent ducked into the shadows, his breath held, ears attuned to the sound of each approaching step. The sound of boots treading the concrete floor echoed in the distance. His skilful hand pressed a small button on his wrist, and a blue holographic display lit up, mapping out the security path he was travelling.Every second felt like a needle, reminding him that time was ticking and Milea was still under threat.Vincent punched the large metal door with his fingertips, hacking the lock panel with a code he had spent weeks learning. The door opened slowly, revealing a dimly lit room. The sound of humming electricity greeted him, followed by the glow of white light emanating from a row of giant monitors on the wall.On each screen, Milea's face is clearly displayed. Her eyes are open, full of fear, while her body is tie
Invisible Networks
The silent night was broken by the soft sound of fingers tapping on a keyboard. In a darkened room with only the blue light of the monitor shining on his face, Vincent focussed all his attention on the scrolling lines of code on the screen.Vincent was shocked. As it turned out, Ryuujin-kai's cyber defence system was far more sophisticated than he had ever penetrated before, full of digital traps and firewalls that seemed to be alive, trying to catch intruders.“C'mon... it's almost done,” Vincent muttered as he quickened his hand.Red dots appeared in the corner of the monitor screen of the computer Vincent was using, signalling that the system had begun to sense his presence. He didn't care. This wasn't about stealing information-it was about finding the core of the enemy's power.With bated breath, Vincent bypassed the last layer of encryption. A secret directory began to open. Inside, a folder labelled ‘Operation Ryujin-Lorenzo’ caught his eye. He typed in the command to access th
Dangerous Choice
Vincent stared intently at the old photo that Milea had just given him. He scanned the photo until it appeared on the monitor screen. His hand trembled as he touched the screen, enlarging the blurry image.Next to a faintly smiling Lorenzo, stood a man with sharp eyes and a solid jaw who was presumed to be Uncle Peter, the man who was thought to have disappeared without a trace. The small dragon tattoo on the man's wrist was an undeniable sign. Vincent's eyes blinked, as if trying to reject the reality that was laid out before him.“This is impossible,” Vincent murmured, his voice a little hoarse between the shock and fear that began to cloud his mind.Milea sat beside her husband, clasping his hand tightly, her eyes full of determination and old wounds reopened.“He's involved, Vin. Lorenzo knows something about Uncle Peter's disappearance in the past. I'm sure of it,” Milea said, her voice trembling.Vincent took a deep breath, his mind racing for a solution. With forced calm, he lo
Shadow Tracks
The last bullet hit the concrete wall next to Vincent, splattering dust that blocked his view for a moment. Quickly, he pulled Milea behind the metal container that was beginning to fill with bullet holes.“They've surrounded us,” Vincent whispered in a tense tone, his hand clutching the gun with only a few bullets left.Luckily, Vincent had anticipated this before they escaped. “Then where should we go?” asked Milea.Milea, breathing heavily, pressed on her wound that was beginning to bleed. She accidentally stepped on a piece of broken glass and hurt her left leg. All around them, the enemy's footsteps approached, a sharp Japanese voice could be heard giving execution orders.Then, in the distance, the roar of a large vehicle rumbled, followed by the sound of heavy gunfire that broke the night. An armoured truck slammed into the iron fence blocking the entrance, widening the eyes of the pursuers. The back door swung open, and out stepped several heavily armed men who opened precisio
The Faceless War
After receiving this warning, Vincent tried to protect his wife Milea with all his might. He knew she was in danger and could be their next target. For him, it was too risky.The night in Santorini, which was usually calm, now began to feel tense. There was no longer the peace of their honeymoon. The dark sky stretched above them as Vincent and Milea stood at the edge of the pier, the sea breeze carrying a salty scent that stung their noses.The flashing lights of the small town in the distance were only a faint backdrop to the shadow of menace that was beginning to creep into their lives. Milea looked at the island that was to be their honeymoon spot with a wistful gaze.“We can stay here while looking for another way....” Milea's voice was almost a whisper, as if trying to maintain the calm that was beginning to crumble.Vincent grasped his wife's hand tightly, his face full of unwavering determination. “It's too late. They know where we are now.”Milea turned to Vincent with tears
