Nicolas looked at the dining table, which was filled with a variety of meals, and the pretty young lady who was standing beside it.He kept on staring at the meals and back at Mirabel, and although the scent of the meat was very enticing and sweet-smelling, he did not feel like eating one bit.“What is going on here?” He asked in his icy tone, and although Mirabel knew that was his tone of speaking, it did not stop her from flinching in fear at his words."I thought you might be hungry, so I made something for you to eat.” Mirabel replied meekly, unable to maintain eye contact with Nicolas as she spoke.Nicolas looked at the young lady as if she were retarded.How could he eat her food?She was a stranger for crying out loud. They had only known each other for less than 48 hours. With how many enemies he had, it was a risk he could not take, not until he was 100% sure of her motive.He did not say another word to the lady, and he went back to his room.His villa was more than big enou
Lex Argos was a very proud man.As he, Lex Argos, stood ramrod still on the elevated platform, his beady and menacing snake-like eyes scanned through the crowd of new recruits his Argos Organisation welcomed.Of course, the presence of hundreds of people in the luxurious hall was not merely for show.It was a welcome seminar where the new recruits of the underworld organisation would see their boss once in a blue moon. After this, only the talented among the lot would be able to work their way into a meeting with the boss.As Lex Argos stood still on the elevated platform, his aura that had formed naturally from his position as a leader of the underworld organisation was on full display, and although the recruits were still bowing slightly with their heads raised up, he could tell that they were very impressed by his appearance.‘Good.’‘That’s what I was aiming for.’ He thought proudly of himself, reaffirming his endless pride that he was still the feared leader of the Argos Organisa
Lex Argos could not believe his ears.He could not bring himself to believe the words that escaped the mouth of Fred, his most trusted right hand man.He almost thought that his right hand man was playing a prank on him, but the very thought of Fred pranking him was as absurd as the sun suddenly becoming two; therefore the information he received was as true as it got, no matter how much he didn’t want to believe it.“Zeth was beaten brutally and sent to the hospital?” Lex Argos asked coldly, and this time, his full intimidating factor was out in display.Fred felt the icy anger emanating from his boss, and felt the temperature of the room becoming colder with each passing second.“According to the reports I received, yes he is.” Fred replied, but his voice was no longer as stoic as it was.Lex Argos was furious.His beloved son was beaten brutally and sent to the hospital.How bold!How impudent!How insulting!He could hardly believe that despite the ruthless and tyrant like reputat
It was a damp Monday morning, and the huge metropolitan city of Stormwind was very quiet, with very few cars plying the major roads. The pedestrians’ walkway was also quite empty, with only a handful of people walking down the pedestrian walkway.It was a raining slightly, with the drops of water falling and making the roads wet. It was a Monday as well, so it was an uncommon sight to see.Despite the inconvenient rainy weather conditions, it was very unusual for the metropolitan city of Stormwind to be this quiet and discreet. One should keep in mind that the city of Stormwind was home to the headquarters of majority of the top business companies in the country, so the fact that the street was so quiet and hollow was very much unusual.Moreover, this was a Monday, the very first day of the week. It was a very rare situation yet utterly ridiculous sight to see.Of course, the reason why such a sight could be seen was none other than because of the fact that the highly anticipated S-ti
While sitting on the plush leather seats of his limousine, Mr. Russell took a moment to rest, and in a lazy manner as well.There was a wine chamber within his hand reach, and obviously, the bottle of wines that was contained within the wine chamber was of the greatest possible grade.He brought out a bottle of wine and then took a sip of the wine after he had popped the cover open, poured the contents of the bottle into a glass cup, and then popped the cover back on.A light but pleasant sensation ran through his body as he completely liked the experience of the wine as it touched his tongue and travelled down his throat. He was thoroughly enjoying the sensation of the wine permeating throughout his entire body.Not only was it a very wonderful sensation, but it was also one that he could not possibly get bored of.It should come as no surprise that this individual was none other than Killian Russell, the recently appointed leader of the Russell family. He was also the one who called
The Dome; located in Stormwind City.The sky was cloudy, and the raindrops were mildly falling, which caused the streets of the city to become somewhat damp.That being said, in spite of the fact that it was raining in the city, there was a sizable swarm of people gathered around a building that was rather magnificent.At a single glance, it was immediately apparent to the observer that the building was created using materials of the highest possible quality (construction materials).Stormwind City was one of the largest and most developed cities in the country. Its population was easily dominated by wealthy individuals, and as a result, it was not difficult to find buildings that were both expensive and magnificent. With just a short stroll, an average individual would be able to immediately spot a building that is both elegant and stunning.However, in spite of this, the structure in which a large number of people had congregated was absolutely unique and stood head and shoulders ab
It was impossible for the reporters and correspondents to contain their excitement when the fourth overlord of Stormwind City made his arrival.Although commonly acknowledged as the least powerful of the four overlords of Stormwind City, the Tyris family still held the title of overlords.It should not have come as a surprise that the appearance of the Grey Tyris, the patriarch of the Tyris family, would result in such a spectacle because their stature was not something that regular reporters and journalists could ever expect to see as easily as they did today.The citizens of Stormwind City who were able to witness the arrival event live streamed by the various reporters from the convenience of their own homes were just as delighted as the reporters themselves.As a result of the fact that the S-tier meeting was an extremely uncommon occurrence, it was not every day that they had the opportunity to glance upon the head of an overlord family as frequently as they would today.Nonethel
Mr. George, Killian Russell's devoted chauffeur, hurried over to open the door of the limousine after gracefully exiting the luxurious limousine.As he hurried over to the door of the vehicle, he walked with the grace that one would anticipate from someone who was the butler and chauffeur of such a high-ranking member of the powerful and renowned Russell family. His every stride was filled with grace.The moment the reporters and journalists who were present got sight of the limousine, they all rushed to the location where the luxurious vehicle was parked. After all, they all flocked to the S-tier conference with the aim of securing an interview with the influential figures, including a prominent member of the Russell family who was in attendance.The NW security personnel did everything in their power to prevent them from wreaking havoc, but the fervour of the reporters was not something that could be easily culled.Fortunately, due to the fact that the NW security people were except
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
“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
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
The Tyris family manor, Stormwind City.It was quite late into the afternoon when Nicolas arrived at the Tyris manor. He, of course, drove his sleek Lamborghini Aventador to the manor as usual.As he stood outside the Tyris manor, his heart beat rapidly in a mix of anticipation and resolve.He had come alone, as he was driven by the desire to see the outcome of his actions firsthand, as well as closure from it.This moment had been years in the making, a meticulously crafted plan to bring down the family that had tormented him for so long.The once-grand estate now mirrored the desolation that had marked Nicolas's childhood—a fitting backdrop for the culmination of his vengeance.The large manor which sat atop a large amount of acres was once vibrant with the bustle of high society. However, it now felt like a mausoleum, as if echoing the emptiness of its occupants' fortunes.The Tyris manor which was once a symbol of opulence and power for the Tyris family, now stood as a dismal remin
The moment the VITA Group which was the main and fundamental pillar of the Tyris family was acquired by Nicolas, the doom of the Tyris family was set in stone.In less than 48 hours, Nicolas had acquired the VITA Group, the Tyris family main pillar. What more could be said for the small business companies and corporations that were part of the VITA Group or under their banner?In less than 36 hours, every single business company that was controlled by the VITA Group switched owners and were now owned by Nicolas.Naturally, they tried to resist, but it was of no use at all. Nicolas was too damn authoritative and aggressive. Most of all, he had the money. No matter what their price were, he was wealthy enough to double it.Not even a day had passed after Nicolas had purchased the small business, and a restructuring was set in progress.The name of the business group was changed from VITA to Zenith Capital, and of course, Nicolas let his trusted Charlotte Clinton handle the rest.Majorit
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
Naturally, with the scale and gravity of what happened, there was no way such a thing could have been kept under wraps.Without any suspense, it didn’t take long for the entire city of Stormwind, including the parts of Stormwind City were the major residents were the poor, to be completely abuzz with the scandal surrounding the Tyris Family.As news outlets continued to broadcast the shocking revelations of unethical practices within the wealthy family, public outrage grew louder by the hour. Across the city, people gathered in coffee shops, offices, their houses and many other gathering spots reserved for the public, expressing their disbelief and anger over the scandalous and unethical actions of the Tyris Family.*On a bustling street corner, a reporter from The City Chronicles, one of the ten media companies that received Charlotte’s $1 million and were on her payroll, held a microphone up to a middle-aged woman, her face flushed with indignation.The middle-aged woman was a resi
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
