The Monarch's Retribution Chapter 36 - Decryption
Jack Harvey's office was well furnished, with various expensive furniture and lavish decoration spread in various parts of the office, giving it an aesthetically pleasing look.Various portraits of several influential figures in Stormwind City were hung on the white walls of the office, and without any surprise, the portrait of Grey Tyris, the patriarch of the Tyris family, was also hung on the walls of the office.'As expected.' Nicolas cursed vehemently, an expression of disgust evidently visible on his face as he stared at the portrait of his grandfather displayed proudly on the wall of the office.On the large ebony mahongany desk in the office, an exquisite glass plaque with the words 'Vice President' written intricately on it was arranged neatly on the desk, displaying the power that Jack Harvey wielded in Limbra Inc.Nicolas hastily glanced around the well-furnished office before making his way to the large mahogany desk.'This is not the time for me to observe that bastard's o
The Monarch's Retribution Chapter 37 - Reactions
The drive back to his Blue Diamond Villa in Onyx Palace was uneventful and smooth, and after driving skillfully for over 2 hours and 30 minutes, Nicolas arrived safely at his destination.Of course, Nicolas was smart enough to avoid any major roads and traffic, as he was sure that the Mercedes Benz C300 he used with his false identity as Seth Kaysen would surely be traced during the investigation to see if he was the arsonist that set Limbra Inc. on fire, so he decided to follow a route he mapped out earlier to avoid bringing any attention to himself.This was also why it took him much longer to reach his villa. A journey that would have taken him at most 1 hour and thirty minutes took him a whopping 2 hours and 30 minutes to complete. This made his journey an extra hour long, but Nicolas didn't mind it. As long as he was able to complete his mission while keeping his real identity a secret, he was fine with the extra time spent.It was way past 3 p.m. when Nicolas finally arrived at
The Monarch's Retribution Chapter 38 - Enlisting help
Nicolas opened the drawer of his large mahogany desk and brought out a sleek black laptop. He also brought out a black notebook and a ballpoint pen and dropped them neatly on the mahogany desk before turning his attention back to the hard disk drive and cellphone he took from the hidden compartment in Jack Harvey's office.He took a white USB cord that he had used before and connected the hard disk drive to his sleek black laptop. He then switched on his laptop and crossed his hands; his now-blue irises narrowed as he waited for his laptop to turn on.He didn't have to wait long, as in less than a minute, his laptop was switched on and ready for use. He swiftly operated his laptop and navigated to the section where the hard disk drive icon was showing on his laptop.He double-clicked on the hard disk drive icon, half expecting it to open and grant him access to the contents of the hard disk drive. Alas, those were merely wishful thoughts on his part. It turned out that the hard disk d
The Monarch's Retribution Chapter 39 - Panic
Meanwhile, while Nicolas was waiting for Joel to bypass the secured passcodes on the hard disk drive and cellphone, Jack Harvey was fuming seriously in his office."The origin of the fire is far from ordinary!" Jack Harvey cursed venomously as he looked at the empty, hidden compartment on the wall of his office.Some hours earlier, Jack Harvey was in a very important business meeting with the upper echelon of Limbra Inc. It was disguised as a business meeting, but deep down, every one of them who attended the meeting knew that it was far from that.Rather than being a business meeting, it was a meeting that was meant for them to fight for their own selfish interests.None of the upper echelon at Limbra Inc. were innocent and naive. Instead, they were quite the opposite—ssly and greedy.This was to be expected, as none of them would have climbed to the top of Limbra Inc. if they were kind and naive.It was during the meeting that they heard the fire alarm ring throughout the entire bui
The Monarch's Retribution Chapter 40 - Evidence Acquired!
While Jack Harvey was currently fuming and panicking at the loss of his safeguarded items, the culprit, Nicolas, was leisurely watching a soap opera drama on his TV as he waited for both Joel to hack the hard disk drive and cellphone and Charlotte to arrive.Nicolas watched the soap opera drama with a bored expression on his face. He was not interested in the drama at all and was simply waiting for one of his two current plans to be successful. Fortunately, he did not have to watch the soap opera drama for long, as twenty minutes after Nicolas made the phone call to Charlotte, she finally arrived at his Blue Diamond Villa."Mr. Nicolas." Charlotte greeted politely in her elegant voice, and traces of reverence could be heard in her voice.She was dressed in a beautiful black gown that was laced with different expensive jewels. That gown was a bit short, coming to a halt on her knees, showing off her beautiful and milky white long legs and thighs.The gorgeous black gown was also skin t
The Monarch's Retribution Chapter 41 - New Lead
Nicolas was beside himself with joy at the pleasant discovery he had just made. He had expected something of the sort to be contained in the hard disk drive, but he did not expect it to be this detailed. He had to give it to Jack Harvey; he really was a meticulous man.'If the hard disk drive can contain such a comprehensive list, what would the contents of the cellphone be? Nicolas thought, a curious expression appearing on his extremely handsome face.Naturally, Nicolas did not forget what Detective Oliver told him about Jack Harvey. He knew that there was a very high possibility that Jack Harvey was involved in his mother's death; therefore, he was determined to find the truth.He closed the detailed list of financial crimes on his laptop and grabbed the cellphone on his desk. Without any hesitation and a lot of anticipation on his extremely handsome face, he unlocked the cellphone and started going through it.Ten minutes later, Nicolas was frowning as he stared at the cellphone i
The Monarch's Retribution Chapter 42 - Strike
Despite the joy Nicolas had after finally getting a new lead on his mother's death, he chose not to act immediately on it yet, despite the fear that the trail might go cold if left unchecked.He decided to set his mind to completing the unfinished matters he had on his hands first before delving into the new lead he discovered. Moreover, there was still the matter of Victor, who was supposedly meant to be in prison. However, not only was he roaming the streets of Stormwind City without serving the punishment meted out to him, he was also seen at Limbra Inc., the same company where he worked as a false junior accountant.The whole situation had been weighing on his mind. He could not bear the fact that someone who had committed a lot of heinous crimes with Patrick Schick was now roaming freely.Not to mention the fact that Victor came to Limbra Inc. a couple of times. Nicolas was not naive and did not believe for once that Victor's appearance there was harmless.'There's something more
The Monarch's Retribution Chapter 43 - Iil Group
Nicolas' drive to the Iil Group Headquarters was both smooth and uneventful. He drove his Lamborghini to the Iil Group headquarters, so his journey was also considerably quick. In less than thirty minutes, he had arrived at the Iil Group headquarters. He parked his Lamborghini Aventador neatly in the parking lot before making his way to the main building of his current enemy.The Iil Group was among the top business groups in Stormwind City, so its net worth was well over $300 million. Looking at the building in front of him, he could easily tell that a significant amount of money had been put into constructing the building.The area surrounding the building was very wide, spanning 2 acres of land. There were a lot of trees and greenery as far as Nicolas eyes could see, indicating that Isaac Iil, the chairman of Iil Group, was most likely a fan of greenery.The main building stood as tall as a castle amidst the expansive greenery. Nicolas could not accurately guess the height of the b

“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.

Leyland Hotel, Stormwind City.[11:34 p.m.]The Leyland Hotel could not be classified as a five star hotel in Stormwind city, neither could it be classified as a four star hotel. The best it could be called was a three star hotel, after all, it was located well in the outskirts of Stormwind city.Everything in the hotel, from the exterior of the building to the rooms in the building could be described as third class at best.The exterior of the hotel which was once stood beautifully under the reflection of the bright sun was now somewhat rundown, and completely unattractive to most of the passer-byes who considered spending the night there.The receptionist who sat at the front desk in the hotel was the perfect example of bored and disinterested, with her desk being cluttered with outdated brochures and a ringing bell that had long lost its shine.Every other facility in the hotel could be described as third class at best.The rooms were very unpleasant for a customer with uncomfortab

Less than 24 hours had passed since Grey Tyris hosted a press conference regarding the exposure of his VITA Group insider secrets and crimes, as well as their corruption.While his press conference was a swift response, which was expected from a top business veteran like Grey Tyris, it was only going to delay the inevitable.The secrets were out in the open, and whatever they did would end up being utterly hopeless.Majority of the shareholders, investors and business partners no longer had any trust in the Tyris family following the exposure of their crimes, and even the minority that still maintained their shares in the Tyris family’s VITA Group were already skeptical about riding a sinking ship.They were investors, therefore their sense of belonging was null and void when their money was involved. The moment they found a way to cut costs and regain their losses, they would jump ship immediately.There were no friends in the business world; only interests.*Mercury Penthouse, West

The next day was undoubtedly bound to be a very busy one for the members of the Tyris family, as well as the executives and upper echelon of the VITA Group.*Grey Tyris sat in his vintage study room which was located at the top floor of the Tyris manor.Dressed in an immaculate white suit, his aged body stood ramrod still with his hands crossed behind his back while his piercing blue eyes gazed out at the well-kept and neat garden below.His study room, which was usually his place of calm and control, was now filled with a palpable tension.His assistant and butler who had been with him for more than three decades hurried in, and his aged face which was always calm was now pale with anxiety."Mr. Tyris, you need to see this." He said anxiously, handing him a stack of freshly printed newspaper articles and an expensive tablet displaying various news websites.Grey Tyris collected the items from his butler, took a deep breath and scanned the headlines:“Unmasking the Titans: Tyris Fami

Chapter 152 - The Unmasking
Vine Lane, Stormwind City.Vine Lane was one of the numerous middle class areas in Stormwind City, with well-built houses and apartment which were also pleasantly looking occupying the neat streets of the neighborhood.There were of course several middle end cars plying the traffic regulated highway, with the residents heading to their various destinations.The walkway reserved for the pedestrians were as empty as it could be, with only a very few passerby walking occasionally across the well paved ground.The weather was a little bit sunny, but considering the fact that it was 10:21 a.m., it was nothing too serious. Moreover, from the relaxed expression on the faces of the few pedestrians, as well as the residents in the various relaxing buildings like cafés and several restaurants, this wasn’t a one-time occurrence for them, so they were pretty much used to it.The fact that it was a Saturday, which was a weekend also contributed to the calm, serene and scanty environment.Tyrese Mi
