"Very good, Steve. I told you to the executive secretly and you did it perfectly as planned," he said. Steve smiled and nodded. "If not for the ransom, you would have probably taken 10 grand." "Don't worry, young master. I don't need all that to do my job well. I'm happy with whatever I have, and I will stick to the Wright Empire till the end," he said. "Good. Now, put it back. I will drive to the place to go and see that dumbfuck. Today, he'd know the power of $1 million," Alaric said, with strong determination obvious in his eyes. Steve was actually surprised by the amount of intensity he could read in Alaric. He expected Alaric to be the downcast one, but that was not how the case would be. "So how are you going to take the money inside? Someone could see you and suspect that you have something going on in the briefcase. Are you just going to walk to the building?" Steve asked. "I'm going to drive my car inside that street. I've been there before so I know my way around here. T
"What the fuck! Why hasn't he come yet? What the hell is wrong with this guy called CEO? He is supposed to be here by now but he hasn't come. I really want to know the truth about everything and dig this up till the last thick of the matter," Norton yelled in frustration. He took a plank of wood, which was the decimated part of an old chair, and threw it to the wall. The impact made the ceiling shake a little bit, and Norton couldn't help but be annoyed by how weak everything was inside the house. He took out his phone and called Lucas. Lucas, who had escaped really quickly from the company before anyone would suspect him, and was at home going through some documents of the past, saw his call. "What? Norton is calling me? Already?" He said to himself, assuming that Norton had already gotten the million dollars. "I think I will have to pick up this call. Do I smell good news?" He said, excitedly. He picked up his phone on the center table and answered the call. "What happened,
Norton gasped, realizing the possibilities of the assumptions they were making. The matter was urgent, and they needed to know the truth. "That could be right. Maybe he has already figured it out. But how do we know that this is right?" He asked. "I don't know, Norton, but if this is true, then you should leave that place immediately because you're in big danger," Lucas said, with anxiety in his voice. Norton was lost for words. You didn't know what to do at that point. He just froze, having many thoughts flowing in and out of his head, and assuming things. "No way," he muttered to himself. "That shouldn't happen. If it does, then I'm in big trouble," he said, acknowledging the fact. For the first time, he admitted that he was really scared, and Lucas was surprised. "So many things could escalate quickly if you don't leave that place immediately. Go from that place before anyone catches you there because if the boss sees you there, they are definitely going to serve your time for
Norton was about to reciprocate when he heard some sound. He didn't know what it was and wanted to check whether someone was around, so he went to the door of the house, slightly opened it, and was shocked by who he saw. Not who he was expecting. Now, he could be in real trouble. He stared at who it was for about some seconds, before finally being able to speak. "Are you getting here just now? Do you know how long I have been waiting for you? I told you to come really fast, if not, you wouldn't like what I will do because I'm not a man of patience, and you still have the audacity to come by this time?" He said with a raised voice. "I'm sorry. I had to arrange for things to be done so that nothing would go wrong. I hope I have what I came here for, and give you what you want," the person, who was a man, said. "This is the only time I will be merciful and forgive you. You should always be at my service whenever I need you, and nowhere else. Does anybody ever pay you like I do?
"I don't care about what losers you got in the past. Who do I need to attack?" The goon asked. "A young dude. I'm sure he's not as big as you, and he's smaller. But, there is a plan," Norton said. "A plan?" He asked. "Yes, a plan. We have to use a special method to get to him, or else, everything will go to ruin," Norton said. The man nodded. "Come in," he ordered, and what happened next was enough to leave Norton speechless. Some other men with a similar build like the man who was standing in front of him came inside the house. They were looking all jacked and stood still. "These are all the people I brought with me. They are about 5 or 6, and they will be with me on guard till when you order us to attack," he said. "You have really done a good job. I thought I was the one who would enlighten you on what to do, but it seems like you know everything about this. You are a pro in this," Norton said. "You don't need to praise me for anything. We have been doing things long en
"Here, have the money. I've given you the money before the work because I want you guys to do a very good job, and so I am trusting all of you. Do as I say okay?" There was no response from any of the goons. The head goon he gave the money to, began counting the money. "What are you doing? I can't trick you. The money is complete," he said. The goon nodded. "Indeed. Now tell us what we have to do. Kill him?" He asked, with intensity in his eyes. Norton knew that these goons were best for business and they knew exactly what to do, and he really appreciated that he had found men who could actually take on a mission. They hadn't done anything yet, but he was already finding it in his heart to trust them. "No no no!" He said. "You are not going to kill him. The only thing you need to do is beat him up so that he will learn a lesson. However, if the beating is not required then you will have to give me back my money and get away from here," he said. "Why would you call me for a j
"So are we going to hide in the backyard now?" The head goon asked, ready to take action. "Wait. Not now. He has taken a very long time, and I don't know if he's coming. I suspect that he is coming, but there is an urgent situation at hand that makes me believe that he might not come. If that happens, then you return my money." "So what happens if he comes?" He asked. "You all will go and hide, and when the time is right, I will call out for you all. Then, at that point, you beat him till he passes out," Norton said, with an evil smirk etching across his face. "So what do you want us to do right now?" He asked. "You always have to wait here with me, while I search and investigate whether he's going to come or not," he said. "Just wait with you?!" He growled. "Yes. Wait here with me. What else do you expect?" "Do you think we are here to waste our own time? I don't have time to wait. I hate it when I'm waiting and doing nothing. I am well aware that there are so many opportunit
All the other men were looking and waiting patiently to see what he would say, and Norton thought about it deeply. He tried to remember what it sounded like, how the sound was, the pitch, and what kind of objects could make the sound, and the conclusion was shocking. A sudden thought popped into his head, and his mouth fell open as he thought of what it could have been. "That was definitely the sound of… an engine. A car? Maybe… the target is here!" Norton said, with a sense of urgency. "What do you mean? I thought you said the target wasn't coming. What target are you now talking about?" The goon asked. "Are you crazy?! The CEO of the company is here. Think about it very well. Nobody lives around here and nobody even visits. If there is anyone around, then I will definitely know about it. If that is the case, then who do you think will have driven a car?" He asked. "Who? Maybe someone who lives around?" "You're such a fool. I told you that no one lives around here and you still
