"Don't worry. I told him that this was a mortal battle, and the war has started now It could be dangerous, messy, or even… bloody," he said with a very tough face, making Lucas stare at him, surprised. Norton was turning into a psycho, he thought. "What are you planning on doing, Norton? Don't tell me you're trying to deceive our boss," he asked. "I'm not trying to deceive anybody. I really want to use my brain in this and get what I want. If that is called deceit, then I guess I'm doing that. You are right anyway, I want to let him make a fool of himself. He will then realize that I have not someone he should play with." "Okay. If that's what you're going to do, then I have to step back now. It seems revenge has gotten into your head so much that you want to do anything to get it. You're not even concerned about your own well-being and you are ready to risk everything for your revenge," Lucas said. "Of course, revenge must have gotten into my head for me to think of robbing you
"Today, he will know who is the boss. He will understand why you should never play with the Wright Empire. He wants to rip us off, but he won't succeed. He's going down," Alaric said. "What do you mean sir?" "Time to involve my family and use my power in this," Alaric said and smiled. "Do you think that's the best thing to do, young master? Are you seriously going to involve the madam and sir in this?" Steve asked. "This has gotten beyond what you think, Steve. Since the criminal wants to act like a personal enemy of mine, then I suggest I should give it to him as he wants it. That involves using everything to my advantage. Therefore I have to inform my parents about it," Alaric said. "Both of your parents could be worried about you, young master. I know how madam is. She's always worried about you and thinking of you constantly. She can never have a day without calling to ask me about you," Steve said. "I know that my mother is constantly worrying about me. What has that got
"Thanks, mom. Your contribution just made everything easier. Now I'm truly sure that the criminal will regret wanting to mess with us. He will know that he got the wrong people. Now is the time for the plan. Mom, hope everything is clear?" "Everything is clear. I understand what you said," Mrs. Wright said. "Great. Now, let the game begin," Alaric stated firmly. Mrs. Wright, who was at home, smiled. She didn't know what was going on but was really happy to help her son. She wanted Alaric to fight any battle and win and was willing to give her full help and support. "So how will I get in touch with you, son? Do I have to start coming now?" She asked Alaric. "Wait for a little while. When it is time will take action, I will call you. First, you have to get prepared and make sure to assemble your guards who will follow you to this place. I will send you my current location so that you can come here. I and Steve will be waiting," Alaric said. "Make sure to take good care of yoursel
Steve started smiling, leaving Alaric baffled. He didn't know why he was smiling so suddenly. "Why are you smiling, Steve?" He asked. "There's no way that criminal is escaping, young master," he replied. Alaric was surprised by how confident Steve was. "What do you mean by that, Steve? How sure are you of this?" He asked Steve. "I know the A-V squad, sir. I think you should know them too," Steve said. "I don't know them. It was my first time hearing the name, and I was really curious to know about them. I have only heard my mother talk about them, and from her speech, I think they are some kind of special guards," he said. "They're no ordinary guards, sir. They're not just any kind of special guards either. They are the best that we have now. Each member of the squad has a background, and the Wright Empire only chose them because they came from very tough backgrounds, and have had severe training. Each of these is really great in their work, and I can confidently say that they
A woman in laced boots stepped out, and he stared at who it was. It was his mother. He had finally seen her. Emotions immediately consumed him, and he was overwhelmed. “Mom? You're here…” he muttered to himself, unable to take a step. As she neared, Alaric couldn't contain his emotions. He was beginning to tear up very quickly as he was very emotional. He hadn't seen his mother in a very long time and had missed her very much. He had been so busy dealing with the company, and Norton for the past few days, that he didn't even almost remember what his mother's face was like. Mrs. Wright was no different. She had missed Alaric so much, even though she made sure she asked about him every day. “Son…” she uttered and removed her glasses. She couldn't contain her emotions, and Alaric quickly went to her. He bowed respectfully and then enveloped her in a tight embrace. "Mother, I've missed you. How have you been?" Alaric inquired, genuine concern etched across his face. “I've been
His mother turned to the guards behind her, and the ones in the front turned around to listen to her. “This is Alaric Wright, the son of the Wright family and the sole heir of the Wright Empire!” She proclaimed. All of the guards, stretching their right arms, stomped their right feet, and greeted him “Hail! The young master of the Wright family! Hail!” They chorused in unison. Alaric was surprised by the sudden action, their voices trembling and sending buzzes to the ground. He strolled alongside his mother. The air was filled with a subtle hum of anticipation, and Alaric couldn't help but notice the hushed whispers that followed his every step. He watched as all the members of the A-V squad bowed and greeted in unison. The synchronized display caught him off guard, and a flush of surprise colored his cheeks. People passing by turned their heads, curious about the spectacle unfolding on the roadside. Turning to his mother, Alaric asked, "Why are they doing that? It feels a
“Well…” his mother said. “Whether it's a setup or not, we have to act. Quick. Fast. And most important of all, very actively,” she said, with a very serious expression on her face. “I know that we have to act really fast, Mom. This is the reason why I don't want to delay any further. Any wrong move we make could be really consequential, but we still can't deny the peculiarity of this situation,” he said. “Have you thought about calling the office to ask about her? Maybe they could have some information that you don't know about. We need to get as much information about this as we can,” Mrs. Wright said. “I didn't bother calling the office to ask. This could be a very good idea, Mom. But I'm not sure they'd know anything about it. If they didn't know when Evelyn was kidnapped, how would they have anything to tell me?” Alaric asked. “I think you have a point, son. But I really think you should make a call to the office and ask about how Evelyn is doing” she said. “If they really ha
“I have never heard of Gouplex Road before, son. I don't even know where Marina Close is. Is this an apartment, or…” “No Mom. It's an abandoned building. That was the address he sent for me. At the end of the message, he quoted that the address was an abandoned building,” Alaric said, leaving his mother startled. “What? An abandoned house?!” she said, with an expression of shock on her face. "Yes, Mom. The address is an abandoned house. That is where he said I should come to get Evelyn. I don't know why the house is abandoned but that was the address in the message," Alaric explained. "Did you ask him why he chose an abandoned house to meet with you of all places?" His mother asked. "I haven't said anything to him after receiving the message. I planned on going directly to save Evelyn's life before he thought of doing anything to her. H e sounds really crazy and I was really afraid that he would do something to her, so I had to make a quick move," Alaric said. "I'm not so sure ab
