"I'm fully aware that this is all just business so call your account number and the amount," Anthony said, squatting and passing his phone to Britney which once she looked at the screen she saw Mr. Rose Dana's name. Her mind didn’t automatically register that it was The Mr. Rose Dana of Dana Airlines that was on the other end of the call. How could it though, when she was under these stressful conditions?She took the phone and pressed it against her ear. The call had already been answered so all she had to do is just speak into the mouthpiece and call the figures she had in mind then it’ll all be over, at least that’s according to what Anthony said."Any amount? What if I lie about what it is and say something you possibly cannot afford to pay?" Britney asked and Anthony blinked slowly to show how unfazed he was.There was no figure that Britney could call for Anthony and Mr. Rose Dana that could easily go into her bank account which would dampen both men's moods. Mr. Rose Dana is w
Outside the brothel building, Anthony thanked the men Mr. Rose Dana had sent to help him with this issue as they walked past him and got into their Jeeps.After that, he put out a call to Mr. Rose Dana while at the same time he helped Tessa's siblings get on his motorcycle.Tessa's little brother was at the back while his younger sister was in front of him and from how they spaced themselves, once Anthony gets on the motorcycle, he was going to sit in between them.Anthony trusted Tessa's younger brother to be able to hold on tight to him once the ride starts and he wasn't going to fall off. This assurance and trust came from the way Anthony saw him act back at the brothel headquarters.As for the little girl, Anthony was going to make sure that he keeps her safe in front so she doesn't fall."Did you get all you needed for the next phase, Mr. Dana?" Anthony asked, raising his head and looking directly at the headquarters from the ground down below.["Yes I did Master Anthony, and I'v
"Sorry sir but we're closed for business until further notice. There was some issue here early this evening and they destroyed my place. If you want something then please go somewhat else or come back when we decide to open" the bar owner said.Anthony looked at the kids on his motorcycle then he pulled the owner to the side and talked to him.At first, the bar owner didn't agree with what Anthony told him but after looking at the kids himself the bar owner conceded and gave Anthony his way to do what he had planned."Come this way, kids" The bar owner went to get Joseph and Josephine."??" Joseph who was hesitant about trusting him decided to do so because Anthony was involved. Joseph came down from the motorcycle and then he helped his sister do the same.They both followed the bar owner into a separate section of the bar which had tables and chairs to sit on.That was the restaurant part of the bar where people can eat and it was only half occupied with chairs and tables because th
“Hmm?” Anthony grunted with his head still facing the top floor but his eyes flicked to his side where he saw two black vans parked close to the garage.“It makes sense that the Busboys are here too” Anthony mumbled.On sight, he already knew what those vans being here meant and which set of people came here in them. It was a dispatch team from an organization known as The Busboys.The Busboys are an independent organization in charge of doing clean-up for the underground crime world and that means all types of cleaning up which mostly leans toward the illegal side of things.The three groups they clean up for include The Mob and the two others.Aside from that, as a neutral party unaffiliated to any of the three groups, The Busboys are also in charge of looking after The Untitled Hotel and now that it was back to running because room 30 had been occupied, they are here to do their jobs.They were supposed to have done all of this for Anthony when he first came and they were in the pr
A minute ago, the moment the elevator doors opened and the last floor was exposed to Anthony, Joseph, and Josephine, an elated Josephine was the first one to skip out of the metal box, innocently playing around the corridor while the other two watched her.She was very happy that they were just a few feet away from meeting their sister, Tessa while Joseph who also felt that way at the same time had the meeting with the Busboys dispatch team's supervisor playing over and over in his head.He couldn't help but imagine himself being dressed just like one of The Busboys, especially the man he talked to."Which room is yours, uncle?" Josephine asked, looking confused as she changed which room she was pointing at one after the other."Is it that one?" She said pointing at the last room out of all of them and looking at which room she was pointing Anthony creased his forehead and pursed his lips. "No, that room belongs to someone else and I would advise both of you not to go near it," Antho
Inside his hotel room's kitchen which is where he had been for the past half an hour, Anthony had his phone out, rhythmically tapping on the contact profile of the Faller's home landline while contemplating if he should call them or not.He was apprehensive because the last time he spoke with a member of the Faller family it was Samuel who relayed his mother's message which was a warning for him to stay away from all of them and as an extension Amanda as well.Even though Amanda's biological father had helped Anthony in the past which is the reason he feels protective over the little girl, she is still the adopted daughter of the Fallers and as such, whatever her adoptive mother says, goes."It's been over a month now, probably should have been enough time for her to heal since the surgery, right?" Anthony mumbled with a creased forehead while scratching his hair.Suddenly, he smacked his tongue and stuffed his phone into his pocket.He grunted "Whatever, I'll just go to the hospital
{"Young Master, HE has her, I saw it, I saw her, Laur-- is still al—"} the words Anthony watched Franklin struggle to say with his dying breath.{"Wait Franklin, I don't understand! What are you trying to say—?!"} Anthony asked, reaching a hand out to Franklin and the man tried to reach out too but...Just as he was about to make contact, suddenly the sound of his alarm going off echoed in Anthony's head, filling him with confusion as he knew what that sound was but at the same time, it seemed unnatural to be hearing it.The next thing he knew, everything he was seeing became pitch black and he could feel like he was back in the realm where he interacted with his grandfather, Valestein Midnight but at the same time had a feeling that he could be wrong.{"Where am I— Grandfather? What are you doing here?"} Anthony asked when out of nowhere he blinked and saw Valestein there with him.The sight of his grandfather made his initial feeling seem more credible now and so as he looked around
Anthony walked through the hospital's sliding entrance doors and immediately he was greeted with the sight of a differently designed interior than what he was used to seeing the last couple of times he came here.From how the place looks, it was obvious that the changes were made as a response to the chaos he and Franklin had caused a month ago.It was now optimized to ensure that the patients and their visitors are safe from being involved in any possible conflicts in the future.Yes, the possibility of a fight breaking out in a hospital is low but in the little chance that it does happen then they wanted to make sure that everyone was safe and clear from being involved.There were also emergency phones on the walls so that anyone can call the paramedics for help instead of having to get through to them using the landline on the counter. Those few seconds could be a life saver and that's the main goal."Hmm!?" Anthony mumbled when he stopped by the entrance doors and could hear a lit
