The Elevation Of August Steve Protection Money
Damien scanned the room before approaching one of the waiters, he seized his collar and yanked him towards his scary face. “Where is your filthy manager, Mike? He is supposed to bring protection money to us every week and he failed. Where is he?” Damien inquired angrily.The waiter was trembling, his legs were like a jelly, he panicked in fear like he was in the hands of the grim reaper. As the waiter was battling with anxiety and finding his words, Ava quickly approached.“Can I help you, gentlemen?” she asked, forcing a smile. Of course she knew who Damien and his men were, but she was now the manager of the restaurant, she had to act like one.Damien shoved the man by the side and arrogantly approached her. He noticed the tag flaunting on her chest ‘Ava Gray, Manager’. “Where is Mr Mike?” he asked with a puzzled-frown.“Mr Mike no longer works here, I’m the new manager. Can I help you?” “Mr Mike usually paid protection money to us every week so that we don’t have to come here and
The Elevation Of August Steve Break Into The Cashroom
“The Turners?!” August snorted, causing the man to frown. “Haven’t you quite learnt your lesson being an errand dog to the Turners? You should try to consider finding yourself another job, a decent one for that matter,” August added firmly.Damien’s lips tightened, “look here fool! My men and I haven’t forgotten what you did to us at Mr Doe’s office, so you better remained quiet and don’t provoke us more… Or else we will beat the hell out of you,” he threatened angrily, but in a lower tone.August scoffed, he knew Damien did not want anyone else to hear about what happened at Mr Doe’s office, where he and his men were beaten to a pulp. That would be embarrassing to his reputation, he and his men have always carried their shoulders high to the skies, claiming they are untouchable in the city.“Listen here, everyone,” August called out, attracting the trembling eyes in the room towards him. “There is something I would want to tell you about these men. Just few days ago at Mr Doe’s offic
The Elevation Of August Steve All their bills
Just as the men were about to carry out the instructions, August yelled, “Stop!” The men halted in their tracks and turned their gazes toward him. “Don’t you want to know who the new restaurant owner is before breaking into his cash room? You might get into a lot of trouble later that could be avoided if you listen to me,” August warned.“What do you mean?” Damien frowned. “I don’t care who the new owner of the restaurant is. As long as the restaurant is in this city, he would have to pay protection money to the Turners,” he spat.“Believe me, you would care if you know who it is,” August chuckled slightly.Damien’s face loosened a bit, “okay fine. Which fool owns this restaurant?” he asked ignorantly.“The Gibsons. The Gibson’s bought this restaurant from the Bensons and it now belongs to them,” August disclosed.The news sent shivers down Damien’s spine. His heart almost divided into two and he quickly let loose of his grip on Ava’s hair. “The—the Gibson’s?” He startled in disbelief
The Elevation Of August Steve Your Bill Is...
“Why won’t you afford the bills? You are the Turners henchman. You collect protection money from half of the stores in the city, the money should be a meager amount to you,” August scoffed.Damien clenched his teeth, he wanted to pick August from the ground and slam him hard against the wall, but he would not want to worsen the situation, so he swallowed the urge. “Look here, jerk, Mr Turner doesn’t play with a penny of his. He knows how much his money is supposed to be, he will cut my head off if he suspects the money is short by a dollar. There is no way I can afford to pay all these bills!” Damien objected beginning to lose his cool at August.August then turned to Ava, “very well then, since he doesn’t want to pay for the bills, I suggest you call Mr Kane and inform him about all he and his men have done here,” August said slyly.Ava reached for her phone and was about to dial a contact when Damien interjected: “Stop, please don’t call him. I’ll pay for the bills,” he said dejecte
The Elevation Of August Steve Menial Tasks
A volcano was about to erupt inside of Damien, his hands were itching to connect with August’s face.“What nonsense! Do my men and I look like cleaners to you? You must have a lot of nerves saying that. I might have agreed to pay for the bills, but my men and I will never stoop that low to do all these things!” Damien made it clear.August chuckled, “you might want to take back your statement,” he said indifferently.Damien was exasperated, “look here, big mouth, the only reason why you are still alive is because you are under this roof. I don’t want to drop a dead body in the Gibsons restaurant, but once you are out of here, you won’t last a minute. I’ll kill you and feed your corpse to the vultures,” he said coldly his eyes narrowing in anger.Ava pitied Damien, he would’ve been on his knees trembling in fear and begging for his life, if he knew who he was talking to. He dared threatened to kill the Gibson’s heir? He must be begging to be killed. She wanted to tell Damien to stop s
The Elevation Of August Steve Humiliation
Damien's frown deepened; of all the chores, washing dishes was the most demeaning, and August had assigned him just that. “No way!” Damien protested, his voice thick with disdain. “I refuse to take orders from this lowlife. It’s ridiculous!” “I’m sorry, but you’ll have to do as he said,” Ava interjected calmly. Damien and his men’s faces became pale, this has to be the worst day of their lives as henchmen! Who would believe that the almighty Damien and his men would one day be compared to fi chores in a restaurant they had been collecting protection money from?“Please leave your weapons here,” August said with a mocking tone. “It’s unsanitary to bring all these bats and metal pipes—used for violence—into the kitchen and dining area.”Damien and his men scowled. The chores were grueling, but following August’s taunts was even more infuriating. Their only solace was their already made up minds to kill him later.The men reluctantly began their chores. Two of them started sweeping and
The Elevation Of August Steve August Is Kidnapped
The call was from his boss, Mr Turner. Damien’s heart ran a mile as the phone continued to ring in his hand. He was quite aware of why his boss was calling. He quickly glanced at his wrist and the time made him to shake the more.It was already past 1:00PM, he was supposed to deliver the protection money to Mr Turner before 12:00PM, he was already an hour late. Being late was not the reason for his freight, the protection money he was supposed to take to him was the one he used in settling all the bills for the customers in the restaurant.He knew that Mr. Turner would not take kindly to any discrepancies, especially if a single penny was missing. But if Mr. Turner discovered that $215,000 was short, the consequences would be severe. If there were a punishment worse than death, Damien would surely face it.Damien stood there shaking like a leave while the phone rang in his hand. It rang for the first time and went unanswered as he could not find the courage to answer it. But he was al
The Elevation Of August Steve We Have The Target!
Damien and his men were bold enough to not even wear masks. Why would they when even the police dared not say a word. They were Mr Turner’s men after all, even if the police did arrest them, they will be released with just a phone call.In the van, the men forcibly tied August’s hands behind his back, his struggle was not enough to overcome the four thugs. They overpowered him pressing him against the vans floor as it drove on.“Look who we have here,” Damien said sarcastically a sneer curled on his lips. “Let me go, you scoundrels,” August protested, struggling to free himself from the men’s grip, but he couldn’t they were too strong.“You disappoint me,” Damien snorted. “It’s so unfortunate you don’t have the strength to match your mouth. You talk so much but can’t free yourselves from my men’s grip. Maybe you should have thought of this before asking us to do all those things,” Damien said slowly, his voice dripping with malice.“Look here Damien, you and your men should let me go

Mia Wants August Back
“Tell me, Tina,” Mia continued, her words even more accusing. "Does our friendship, the one we’ve had since childhood, mean nothing to you? How could you betray me like this?" "Mia?!" Tina’s face twisted with confusion, her chest tightening as she struggled to make sense of her friend’s words."It’s only been four months, Tina. Four months!" Mia hissed, holding up four fingers as she stepped closer, her voice barely a whisper. "And already, you’re flirting with my husband. Don’t you have any shame?"Tina’s jaw dropped with the weight of the accusation hanging in the air. She opened her mouth to speak but the words were stuck in her throat.August frowned, he was already angered enough that Mia walked in to disrupt this special moment. Accusing Tina even made him angrier. Husband? What was Mia even talking about?"Is it really so hard for you to find your own man? Why must you meddle in my marriage?" Mia’s voice rang with bitterness, each word laced with disappointment.Tina was not j
You Betray Me Tina
The atmosphere was calm and steady when a convoy of ten cars arrived and parked in the parking lot of a certain restaurant in the city.A total of thirty to forty security men dressed in sleek black suits with black glasses on emerged from the vehicles. They scanned the surroundings with sharp precision before one of them opened a car door, revealing August.Since he wasn’t hiding his identity anymore, Mr. Kane insisted he took so much security with him.The onlookers were stunned by the grandeur of the convoy, so they began to gather around, curious to see which powerful figure would emerge from the cars."Look! It's the Gibson heir!" one exclaimed, pointing towards August with wide eyes as recognition spread through the crowd. “Oh my, he’s even more handsome in person. I can’t stop blushing,” one of the women in the crowd gushed.“I need to get a picture with him. The most powerful man in the city! That’ll blow up my social media for sure,” another chimed in as he eagerly retrieved
The Offer Is Accepted
"Nice question. That’s what you should’ve asked earlier, instead of throwing insults at us," Mr. Turner sneered. He leaned back, then added calmly, "Aren’t you going to offer us a seat first? Maybe some wine? Then we can start talking." “Why should I? You are not welcome guests in my house,” Alexander snapped.“Believe me we are, you will consider us the most valuable guests in eight years after you’ve heard what we have to say”.Still frowning, Alexander hesitantly gestured towards a couch without saying a word and the men made themselves comfortable."And what about the wine? Haven’t you had your servants bring it yet?" the obese Mr. Montclair asked, his tone laced with curiosity."No one’s giving you anything—not even water," Alexander snapped, his voice edged with irritation. "Now, tell me why you’re here and leave!""Relax, Alexander," Mr. Turner interjected, trying to lighten the mood. "Don’t mind Montclair, the man’s always hungry. His wife even complains that he wakes up in t
At The Old Castle
"Of course we remember," one of the men snapped, his frustration evident. "He was disowned and banished after his father discovered he was behind the attack and framed his own brother for it. But what does that have to do with saving ourselves?""Gosh, how can you be so shortsighted?" Mr. Turner groaned, slamming his hand against his forehead. "If Mr. Wade were still here, he'd understand exactly what I mean. The rest of you are no better than children!”Mr. Turner sighed, lowering his voice to a near whisper. “We all know how obsessed Alexander has always been with becoming the heir. What if we join forces with him, convince him to reclaim what he believes is rightfully his? He’s selfish and ruthless—he’ll agree. Not only would we save ourselves, but we’d also form a powerful alliance with the new Gibson heir once he takes control.”The other three men exchanged uneasy glances, they were clearly not buying with Mr. Turner’s idea."How is that even possible?" Mr. Kingsley snapped. "No
Let's Save Ourselves
****In the living room of the Turner mansion, Mr. Turner lounged comfortably on the couch, his face hidden behind a newspaper as the television played softly in the background."These damn headlines again!" he spat, tossing the paper aside in frustration. "Six days, same nonsense. I'm done with it."He stood up, gesturing towards the television he frowned, "Even the news on TV is boring these days. I’d rather go fry in the sun than watch another second of this mind-numbing news," he muttered under his breath as he prepared to leave the room.Just as he turned to walk away, something on the television made him halt in his tracks."It's no secret to anyone in this country that the Gibson family's heir, Mr. Gibson, tragically passed away a few months ago..." Mr. Kane's voice came through the speakers."Mr. Kane? What's he doing on the news now?" Mr. Turner's brows knitted in confusion as he turned back to face the television. "At last, finally the Gibson heir has decided to unveil himse
The Gibson's Heir Is Unveiled
Boris's heart pounded in terror as he caught the burning rage in Mr. Kane’s eyes. "Him... the Gibson heir? Impossible!" he stammered, clutching his chin in disbelief.Mr. Kane, seething with fury, unleashed a brutal kick to Boris’s stomach, knocking the air from his lungs. Boris doubled over, groaning in agony. "You ignorant fool!" Kane spat, delivering another vicious kick. "You're only breathing because of the young master. How dare you disrespect him like that?"Grabbing Boris by the collar, Mr. Kane yanked him up to his feet with a rough pull. As soon as Boris stood, Kane slapped him twice across the face with resounding force."Just a few days ago, your coward of a father was on the phone with me, begging for your life, too scared to face Don Maxino himself. I refused, but the young master? He went. He's the reason you were spared that day. Frankly, he should have let you die!" Mr. Kane sneered before going ahead to slap his face a few more.While Mr. Kane continued to punish Bor
He Is Just A slump Rat
"What do you mean?" Boris frowned, his brows knitting together as he looked both offended and confused.August smiled nonchalantly and shook his head mockingly. "Despite how bad you’ve treated me, I’d be generous and tell you to escape through the backdoor before the next two minutes," he said, his smile fading."Or else what?" Boris growled, his eyes narrowing with rage."You have one minute left," August replied ignorantly, his chuckle sly.James, flushed red with fury, stormed up to August and slapped him hard across the face. "You piece of shit! Will it kill you to stop bluffing?" he spat, seething. Gesturing to one of his men, he added, "Go get the sedatives and psyche-twisters. Since he can't keep quiet, we’ll make sure he does."Boris scoffed. "Such a shame, August, you’ll not be awake to hear our pleasure moans. By the time you wake up, we'll be long gone, and you'll be surrounded by the police. Maybe you should've kept your mouth shut." With a mocking laugh, he gripped the ri
Toss A Coin
August was exasperated, despite being at the mercy of Boris and James, he didn't seem to be afraid of them. "I wouldn't threaten me if I were you!"Boris's face flushed red with rage, he frowned and slapped August two more times. "Don't test me, you filthy waiter. You are at my mercy yet you dare to speak such nonsense. With just a snap of my fingers; these men will hit you to death," Boris warned, his voice trembling with rage."Try, if you have the balls," August sneered slyly. He knew Boris and James needed him alive too well to take all the blame for what they planned to do to Tina. No matter how far he pushed Boris, all he got was a slap or two across the face."That's enough, Boris," James interjected, gripping Boris’s arm as he prepared to strike August again. "I see what he’s trying to do, but what’s the point of hitting him? He’s already in a worse position. The charge for rape and murder is death by hanging—unless the judge is feeling generous, in which case it might be life
Our Revenge
Seeing that August was no longer a threat as he was tied to a chair, a smug smile painted on Boris face."I thought you were the almighty Iron fist; you knocked me out with just a punch and look at what you did to James' face. I was beginning to think you would knock all these men down with your Iron fist. But Maybe I overrated you, you are not as strong as I thought"August seethed with rage. If he could untie just one of his hand, then he would've shown Boris just how much he deserved to be called Iron fist like he was mocking him. "I swear this time I'll make sure I knock you off for good" August growled.Boris then frowned and slapped his face hard. "You are lucky we need you alive for our plan or I would've killed you already!" Boris spat angrily yanking August's chin before slapping it again."Stop hitting him," Tina protested defensively. "Your problem is with me, right? You already have me, what do you want from him?" She asked frustratingly.James then approached Tina and ru
