“Who are you?!” Margaret Tyris asked the moment the door was forcefully kicked open and then scrambled her way to the table which was closest to her and picked up a knife.She held the knife with both hands and pointed it at the person who forcefully kicked the door open.As a person who was wanted by the federal authorities and on the run, she was extremely paranoid and anxious, and when coupled with the fact that the invader forcefully kicked the door open, it was no wonder that she was on edge and picked up a knife.No matter who the person was, and regardless of their identity, whether they were with the federal authorities or not, she was not going to let herself get caught and let everything she’d worked for go down the drain!With that resolution in mind, she took a deep breath to calm her mind and her already trembling hands, then took a good look at the invader.The invader was very tall, standing at an impressive height of 190 cm, or even more. He was also very well built, a
Following the meticulous plans of Nicolas, the Tyris family completely met their ruin a few weeks later.The once-mighty Tyris family now laid in financial ruin; their business empire dismantled, their wealth evaporated, and their influence shattered.The Tyris family faced the harsh reality of their downfall.The federal authorities, after the proper investigations and thorough examinations of the activities of the Tyris family business group and companies came out with a befitting result.In a press conference, the Tyris family were pronounced guilty of all the charges levied against them, and would face the proper punishments worthy of their crime.Without any suspense, Grey Tyris, alongside with his accomplices would without a single iota of doubt face jail time in the wake of their offence.Naturally, Grey Tyris and his accomplices did not want to go down without swinging, hence they pooled their last resources and hired a top lawyer to defend them.Nevertheless, it still ended u
-The Tyris Family’s Manor In a very luxurious manor, decorative lights and chandeliers lit up the extravagant family manor. Tonight, was the 65th birthday of Grey Tyris, the Patriarch of the Tyris. As such, the whole Tyris family was in a celebratory mood. Why wouldn’t they be? This was the birthday of the most important person in the Tyris family. Less than two decades ago, the Tyris family was one of the poorest families in the city and were on the verge of going bankrupt when Grey Tyris, the Patriarch of the Tyris family scored a very lucrative deal with a noticeably big family. As a result of this, the Tyris family that were on the verge of snuffing out like a flame in the wind revived from the ashes like a phoenix. The deal gave the Tyris family a period of rapid development that was unprecedented in the city, and in less than two decades, the Tyris family was now one of the four richest families in the city, valued at over five hundred million dollars. It was no wonder tha
The entire Tyris family gaped in extreme shock! Everyone stared at the young boy now identified as Nicolas in shock, bewilderment, and surprise! Nicolas did not bring any gifts for the Patriarch of the Tyris family, not even the least one, and yet he had the audacity to ask him for five thousand dollars! Eighteen years ago, Min Tyris, the most brilliant daughter of the Tyris family ran away from her duties as a member of the Tyris family and eloped with a no name man who she fell in love with. This case caused a lot of resentment for the members of the Tyris family, as it was a slap in their face. Min Tyris was such a beautiful lady in her early years, so weeks after scoring the lucrative deal with the big family that put the Tyris family back on track, a number of powerful men sought her hand in marriage. There was no shortage of powerful characters such as the heirs of prominent families, the heads of several business groups and even the head of the second richest family in th
Nicolas rushed to hold his mother the moment he heard the Patriarch’s voice. Only when she was standing close to him did he turn his attention to the Patriarch. “Five thousand dollars?” The Patriarch, Grey Tyris asked in an even tone. “Yes Grandfather!” Nicolas answered enthusiastically. Grey Tyris didn’t say a word after Nicolas’ response; instead, he stretched his hands. Not a second later, a brown envelope was placed in his hands. The Patriarch opened the envelope and then counted five one thousand dollar notes, then brought it out. A happy expression appeared on Nicolas’ bruised face at the sight of the smooth five thousand dollar notes. With such an amount of money, he would be able to buy the supplements he needed for his mother, and as such her health would definitely improve! The Patriarch looked at Nicolas coldly for a few seconds, before throwing the five thousand dollar notes to the ground. “If you want the money so damn much, then crawl to get it!” The Patriarch sudd
Impossible.Nicolas could not believe his eyes. No; he refused to believe it.The terrible feeling that had been gnawing at his heart was not a hoax after all.It was real.“Mother…” Nicolas murmured disbelievingly. He turned around and searched desperately for his mother in the crowd, yet he couldn’t find her.“Where is my mother?” Nicolas murmured while searching frantically for her.“MOTHER!” Nicolas screamed out at the top of his voice, unable to bear it anymore.Despite how hard he tried not to believe it, he knew.His mother wasn’t here in the crowd.His mother was still in the fire.His mother was burning.Nicolas started running towards the sweltering flames, the heat reaching him even from the distance.He was ready to dive into the scorching flames to save his mother.However, how would such a thing happen?“Come back you swine!” A middle-aged guest hollered after seeing Nicolas make a mad dash for the fire and held him back with little effort.Nicolas was severely malnouris
Nicolas remained standing in front of the burnt room, which was now damp from the efforts of the fire fighters. As if to add salt to his fresh wounds, the sky rumbled, and droplets of rain started dropping from the sky. The droplets from the rain fell on Nicolas’ bruised skin, and what started as a drizzle soon turned into a heavy downpour. It was as if the sky was mourning the death of Min Tyris. Nicolas continued standing under the pelting raindrops, mourning the death of his mother. Nothing else mattered at this point. It rained as if it were the last chance for it to rain, and the intensity of the rain didn't decrease; rather, it intensified. Just like that, three hours passed in silence. By now, the whole manor was silent. It was way past bedtime after all, and unless one had something to do awake, or they were the security guards on duty, everyone should be sleeping peacefully. Nicolas, drenched by the heavy rain, turned around and started walking towards the part of the
-Jade Palace On a huge island in the middle of the ocean, sat a majestic Palace. This estate belonged to one of the most powerful business groups in the world, the Nacht Group. Inside this extremely regal palace, two people could been seen talking to each other. “Mr. Nicolas! Are you really going back to Stormwind city?” a man around the age of sixty asked in a worried tone. He was dressed in an expensive white suit, and his grey hair was combed neatly. An extremely attractive young man with glossy midnight hair and piercing blue eyes looked at the old man before letting out a gorgeous smile. He was dressed in an equally expensive black suit, with a limited edition Patek wristwatch adorning his wrist. This extremely attractive young man was Nicolas Nacht, the owner of Nacht Group, one of the largest business corporation in the world!Standing at 195 cm tall, with broad muscles and a body sculpted by the long hours spent in the gym and practicing several challenging martial arts, N
