"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
"I think it's the target, but I can't go out to check for myself. I can't send you out there either, because he might see you. Go and hide with the goons in the backyard. Make sure to come through that door," Norton said, pointing."Got it. But when are we going to come out?" He asked."When I tell you to. Make sure to sneak in, and without him knowing, use the stick to hit his head from behind, before you start the beat down," Norton said."Okay. I will keep that in mind. But remember to give us a good signal if you want us to come out and attack," he said."Yes. I definitely will. Now go," he ordered them, and they left. Norton smiled, sensing that something good was about to happen. He could already see himself becoming a millionaire again, and he couldn't wait to go and tell his father and mother what happened. He was already impatient to go and tell his older brother how good his act was and shave the money directly at him. Meanwhile, Alaric was talking with the commander thro
Norton, who was standing still, waiting for someone to appear at the door, was going impatient with every passing second. The more he waited, the more the urge was for him to go and see who it was."Who the heck in the world opened the door without coming in?" He said with disdain, muttering to himself. Alaric listened so that he could hear something but he didn't get anything."Nothing. I hear nothing. No one is inside the house, I think. I'm not sure if the criminal has come. What do you think I do now? I don't know if there is anybody inside or not, but I cannot hear any sound. Do you think that this could be something?”“I think you should go inside, young master. I'm sure that if the criminal wanted to attack you, then he wouldn't have used a cheap trick to do that. Maybe she's inside the house waiting patiently,” the commander said.“Okay, I'll do that,” Alaric said, deactivating the system. He looked at the wide open door and tried to peer inside, but he couldn't see anybod
Alaric smiled. “That is over, Norton. You have no right to insult me now,” he said.“When did anybody require rights to insult you? I can insult you whenever I want and nothing will happen to me. I know you are hurt because that is the truth and you don't like to admit it. I don't care what anyone says. I will do as I say,” he said. Alaric was beginning to wonder if Norton was even making any sense. He was looking at him with an expensive suit and was still asking stupid questions.“In case you don't know, I can buy you and your family,” he responded, to the surprise of Norton.“What? What did you just say to me right now? Repeat what you just said if you have the guts and watch how I will put you in your place now,” he said, already wanting a fight.“Don't worry, Norton. I'm not a coward anymore. Gone are the days when you wanted a fight and I refused to give it to you. Today is the day everything ends and I will prove to you that you are nothing,” he said. I think we have lots of
“Who are you? Who do you think you are to feel rich, eh? What do you do? Nothing. Aren't you poor? Aren't you the one who has to depend on college to pay your fees, while you play for them? Huh? Is that not who you are? What else? You are made up of nothing but crap, and I'm very sure that you're happy living a fake life,” Norton said.“I am not who you think I am. I am someone different – different from what you used to see, and that's because I have been elevated!” Alaric said.“What? Elevated? What do you…”“I am the CEO of the Wright Empire!” Those were the only words that Alaric needed to say to keep Norton's mouth right that instant. Norton's eyes widened as Alaric's words hung in the air. The room seemed to shrink, the walls closing in on him as if the revelation had physical weight. He couldn't tear his gaze away from Alaric, who stood there with an air of quiet confidence, as though dropping bombshells were a daily routine. A pregnant pause enveloped them, the silence ec
“Listen to me very carefully, Norton. The life I am living now is something you will never be able to attend. It's not a warning. It's a spoiler because I can definitely see into your future and I know that it won't be long before you get completely destroyed,” he said. Norton smirked. “Destroyed? Me? I'm like a robot who never gets tired, whose battery is always fully charged, and the purpose of my life is to plan evil, and that's the only thing I do. No one will ever be able to destroy me. Not in the world, or eternity,” Norton said.“I love this. How about me? I will destroy you completely,” Alaric said, issuing a challenge. Norton's eyes widened in disbelief as Alaric's words hung in the air, a heavy revelation echoing through his mind. The room seemed to warp around him, and Norton struggled to process the weight of what he had just heard. Alaric's unexpected statement left him stunned, frozen in a moment of sheer surprise. His eyebrows furrowed, and Norton couldn't fathom w
Norton's stern voice cut through the tension, "Hurry, Alaric, or I might change my mind about showing you Evelyn." Alaric nodded, a knot of anxiety tightening in his stomach. He turned around, uncertainty clouding his thoughts. Seeing Evelyn was his priority, a reassurance he needed, but Norton's shrewdness hinted at potential risks. Outside, Alaric paced towards his car, contemplating his next move. He needed those briefcases of money. Inside the vehicle, he pressed the button on the communication chip, establishing a connection with the commander. The familiar voice crackled through, assuring Alaric that he was readable."Can you read me?""Yes sir! What's the situation, young master?" the commander inquired, cutting straight to the chase. Alaric hesitated, unsure of how to navigate this precarious scenario. "The criminal wants the money first," he explained, a tinge of frustration in his voice. "He said he needed to see the money."The commander, ever composed, responded, "Have yo
