Charlotte had completed the task he gave her and sent every detail she could find about Limbra Inc. and Jack Harvey. Nicolas dried his muscular and ripped body with a towel and donned a luxurious black silk robe before settling down on his bed, but not before wearing his trademark gold rimmed glasses. He brought out a medicinal cigar, lit it up slowly and took a long puff before starting to read through the neat and well detailed report Charlotte sent to his e-mail. Limbra Inc was a top class business group in Stormwind City, and they were worth around $40 million. On the surface, their company dealt in legitimate and upfront business, but the report that Charlotte sent told him a crucial information that was hidden from the general public.

The Monarch's Retribution Chapter 28 - A familiar acquaintance
"And you may be?" Nicolas asked coldly as he firmly removed the stranger's grip from his shoulder before turning to face the man. He came face to face with a tall and lanky young man who looked to be around the age of 25 or lesser. He had an unremarkable face which was currently staring at Nicolas with a disdainful expression on his face. "Fred Davies." The tall and lanky man answered, and the traces of pride in his voice could not be hidden. Nicolas could easily tell that he was from a wealthy family and a based on the way he spoke and his manner of mannerisms. Nicolas noticed that the moment the lanky man announced his identity, the customers present in the barber's salon all had expressions of surprise appear on their faces. It was obvious that they were intimidated by Fred's impressive background. However, Nicolas did not care a bit about Fred's impressive background whatsoever.

Just as he was about to sneak another look, the pudgy vice president who was dutifully typing away on his expensive smartphone lazily kept his phone in his pocket before turning to stare at the only person in the elevator with him."Oh! Hello there!" Jack Harvey greeted in an amicable tone, his beady-like eyes holding a tinge of jealousy as he scanned Nicolas' handsome features.

The man looked to be in his late forties and was tall, his height easily measuring above six feet. He had brown hair which was currently cut lower than Nicolas', and equally brown eyes, which made him look pleasantly handsome. He was brown skinned and had a physique that spoke unspeakable hours of training in the gym. From his physique alone, which was partially concealed by the loose blue shirt and black slacks he wore, Nicolas surmised that he must be a gym freak. "Are you new here? I haven't seen your face around here." The man asked with a frown on his face as he studied Nicolas' extremely handsome features. "Yes, I am new here. I recently transferred f
