Marcus and Sam went to the site where his father's old project was, the building was incomplete and the place looked deserted."This is it, young master." Sam said."Yeah." Marcus dipped his hands in his pocket. "Uncle did say it was being claimed by someone else, but he never said exactly who. So what do we do next?" Marcus asked."Well you've got all the documents and proof to show the property belongs to the Blackwoods, I believe we should resume the project.""Great idea." Marcus said. He then proceeded to walk inside to get a clearer view, until a deep voice stopped him."Hey! Stand right there." A chubby looking man with a grey beard walked to them. "Who are you people?" He interrogated."I'm Marcus Blackwood.""Well I don't care." The man promoted, "what are you doing here?" He then asked."I don't understand your question. But this property belongs to my father." Marcus said."What're you blabbering about? This is Mr Wealth's property." The man corrected."Mr. Wealth? Who's
"How did you know?" Mr. Matthew asked, his curiosity piqued."That's not important. What's important is getting it back," Marcus insisted, his resolve unwavering.Mr. Matthew, however, seemed unmoved. "I'm sorry, Mr. Blackwood, but the government had to do something with the abandoned building. After all, it was just sitting there, and the Blackwoods were nowhere to be found. As the local government, we had a responsibility to take action."All Marcus could hear from his voice was his greed. "I don't care about that anymore Mr Matthew, all I want is a solution. I want that building back at all cost." Marcus kept a serious face."The building is now under Mr. Wealth's ownership," Mr. Matthew explained, his voice tinged with regret. "It might be impossible to retrieve it at this point."Marcus was determined to find a solution. "What do you mean by 'impossible'?" he pressed.Mr. Matthew sighed. "Mr. Wealth purchased the building for one billion dollars. I'm afraid it would be a very com
Maxwell was coming down from his stairs, all dressed up and ready for work. As he stepped down to the sitting room Hannah called him. "Hey Maxwell." He stopped then turned back. "What is it?" He asked."I need to speak to you about something." She proposed."About what?" He gave an daring glare.'She better not try to tell me to end this relationship. I'll make her pay me for everything I've spent on her before ever I can let her go' Maxwell said within his mind."Something I should have told you before now." Hannah stated. "It's about my family." She continued.Maxwell scoffed, what was she going to tell him about her family now? He's not interested he bet her family's just one of those poor people from the trenches that's always wanting to benefit from their inlaws."What about them? You need me to give them money? Open a business for your mun? Or maybe your dad is Ill and he needs urgent medical treatment?" Maxwell taunted, he really has no interest in his relationship with Hannah
"Please Lord Magnus, I swear I'm innocent, I didn't try to betray you." The man begged, tears pouring from his eyes, he was sweating and shaking with great fear. He was tied to a chair in a very dark room with little illumination."So you're saying Thomas is lying?" Magnus asked, his voice filled with dread."Yes Lord Magnus. He's trying to set me up, I can swear I never did what he said." The man cried and his nose became watery."Lord Magnus, Thomas is the real betrayal...you have to believe me."Magnus lowered his body to the man. "You dare accuse Thomas in front of me?" A very frightening voice escaped his lips.The man was shaking, sweating, he felt like his soul was about to leave his body.He was reported to Magnus for trying to snuggle from the drug he was sent to deliver to the overseas. And this was an act by Mr. Wealth. Aka Lord Magnus won't tolerate it.All of Magnus's men knew better than to betray him, but Thomas was the most trusted of all. He was always seen wearing a
THE BLACKWOODS MANSIONMarcus was seen in his office with Richard by his corner. They were trying to finalize the whole issue about the school property. Marcus had told Richard all the information he got from Mr. Matthew and his plans of having a meeting with Mr. Wealth to see if they could brush things up without violence, and Richard, already knowing who Mr. Wealth gives his own side of advice."You have to be super careful with whatever you do or are planning to do." Richard said."I will uncle, I believe if I talk to him with all my evidence of the property belonging to us he'll understand and even if he refuses I'll pay him back the money he used in buying it." Marcus replied."Mr. Wealth, also known as Magnus, is a devil incarnate. When I found out that the building had been claimed by him, I decided to not proceed in dragging matters with him.""Why?" Marcus asked"Because he's a mad man. He wouldn't stop in getting what he desires even if it requires killing anyone." Richard s
Marcus and Sam arrived with their car on the agreed place to meet with Magnus.An hotel. But when they arrived the place was dead quiet, not even the workers were present, except for many heavy armed men lined up at every corner, these are Magnus's followers."This doesn't look safe young master." Sam said with observation.Marcus noticed it too, but he's not intimidated enough to go back. "I know, let's just go in."They both entered the building, and Magnus sat at the head of a long table, a lavish spread of food and drink laid out before him. His men were scattered throughout the room, keeping a watchful eye on Marcus and Sam as they entered."Welcome," Magnus said, his voice full of false cheer. "I trust you had no trouble finding the place?"Sam cast a wary glance around the room. "This is quite the setup," he said, a hint of suspicion in his tone."Oh, don't worry," Magnus said, waving a dismissive hand. "I just like to be prepared for any eventuality. Hope you're okay with that
It was getting dark and Sam and Marcus were heading back home."You shouldn't have done that young master." Sam said."That guy feels too much of himself. He can't claim something that doesn't belong to him." Marcus replied."I know, but we were completely outnumbered, it was dangerous, young Master. If something had happened to you Richard won't let me live, that's if I would have survived." Sam explained."That's true. I guess I should control my temper next time." Marcus heaved a sigh.Just then Sam spotted three black cars tailing them from behind."Huhm... Young Master." He said."What?""I think we're being tailed." He announced."What?" Marcus also looked at the mirror and saw how fast the cars were coming after them. "Shit, drive faster Sam."Sam's heart began to pound as he saw the black cars bearing down on them in the rear-view mirror."I'll try my best, young master," he said, his voice tight with fear.He hit the gas, and the car shot forward, weaving in and out of traffi
Marcus and Sam ran for their lives, panting and gasping for breath as they sprinted down the street. The angry men were close behind them, their footsteps thundering on the pavement. Gunshots rang out.Marcus and Sam then hide behind a corner."Any plans?" Sam asked."I've got a few rounds left, I think we should attack." Marcus suggested."What? We're outnumbered." Sam reminded me."I know, if we don't fight back we'll end up dead." Marcus said.Sam kept wondering who taught Marcus how to use a gun, and the fact that he shows little fear in almost every situation."Alright." Sam nodded faithfully."On my count. One... Two... Three" Marcus finalized as they were about to charge at the men but then they could hear multiple gunshots which made them hide back at the corner."I think we've got more companies." Sam complained.At that moment Marcus realized the pressure on their current situation, he never imagined Magnus could be this dangerous.Just then they heard a familiar voice. "You
