The man doesn’t finish his words, and then glances at Joaquin with murderous eyes. It isn’t clear what kind of sinister intention he has in his mind.It sends shivers down Joaquin’s spine. He believes those two gentlemen must be the thugs Donovan hired to destroy his house, and came here to give their report to their boss.Donovan looks back at Joaquin, and suddenly scolds him. “What are you doing here? Want me to put a bullet in that numb skull of yours?”Without waiting for any response from Joaquin, the old man gets into his office by inviting the two thugs in. And Joaquin, he immediately rushes towards the elevator in a hectic way.“I’m not safe here! I need to leave this city!”He looks impatient, pressing a certain button on the elevator while glancing toward Donovan's office with a frightened face.Truth to be told, those two thugs have nothing to do with Joaquin or his family. They are actually ordered by Donovan to take care of Thomas.“Have you killed him?” asks Donovan befor
Without asking any more questions, Naomi gets down while covering her head. But that’s not enough, because Thomas doesn’t want her to see him doing anything odds. He has no choice but takes off his suit and uses it to cover Naomi’s head.“What the?” Naomi looks displeased, intending to get the suit away.But then, the mysterious men in the muscle car begin to open fire. So, Thomas simply holds Naomi’s head down and issues a specific command.“Inventory! Box No. 9!”A second later, Naomi notices the appearance of blue light. And soon…Boom!!!She is surprised by the sound of an explosion nearby and covers her head with Thomas’ suit by instinct.Moments later, she collects her courage to take a peek, and there she sees Thomas holding a grenade in his right hand, with its pin already in his teeth.“Woooaaa!!! Where did you get that thing?”Thomas simply glances at her, which of course makes her panic even more. How could she not, he has already removed the grenade pin, yet he is still hol
Naomi looks disgusted at the woman's spoiled behavior, especially after hearing what the woman say. “What do you mean by your car? And, what the hell are you doing here in my house?”“Naomi! I’m you mother, remember?” replies the woman.“What the?” Naomi’s face contorts so badly.“It’s only natural that I show a sense of ownership,” the woman continues naïvely. “Everything belongs to your father, and everything belongs to you, is mine too. Isn’t that what family means?”Naomi shrugs with a disbelieving face. “Yo! What kind of stupid logic you are bringing up here? Since when did you become a part of my family? Just because you’ve slept with my dad once or twice, doesn’t make you my mom. I bet you are not the only woman my dad has had a sex with in the last three months.”“Honey! You shouldn’t talk like that about your father!” The woman comes closer, intending to caresses Naomi’s chin.Instantly, Naomi knocks the woman's hand away and steps back. Her back shivers in horror and disgust.
Thomas stares at Adam with eyes lit with fury. He can’t help but remembers the bad treatment he received from the Gregory family two days ago.Driven by anger, he slowly clenches his hands by scratching the ground. Unlike two days ago, his two feet can support him to get up and confront Adam Saunders.“So you want to see how strong I am? Wanna test it first hand?”He doesn’t care who Adam Saunders is. There are also so many of Adam’s guards around, but he doesn’t give a damn.Adam's facial expression slightly changes at the sight of Thomas’ recklessness. This is the first time someone has the nerve to confront him this way.“Do you realize your situation, young man? Look around you!” Adam reprimands.But Thomas isn’t averting his attention away from him. He keeps staring at Adam with murderous eyes.Naomi, who has already learned a little about Thomas' character, and has seen for herself how crazy Thomas was a while ago, immediately stands in front of her father.“Thomas! Wait! That’s
Naomi responds to Thomas' words with a silly reaction. And that is enough to convince Thomas that the girl is completely ignorant of the corruption in Drada Police Department.Besides, he could tell for sure that even her father, Adam Saunders, is nothing but a clean businessman who doesn’t know much about the organized crimes in Drada.“Now I’m curious, where did your father know that woman?” he asks.“Who? That Anastasia Nixon?” replies Naomi with a bit of wrinkled face. “Don't tell me you really have an interest in her!”“Give me a break!” Thomas responds with a cringe expression.“Why? Don’t you see her attractive? Despite her toxic behavior, she is actually a former flight attendant. My father met her on a flight home from Greinia.”Thomas grimaces. “Are you sure she is a former flight attendant?”“What? You think she is not pretty enough for a flight attendant?”“That’s not it,” Thomas shakes his head. “It’s just that… You know I was being hunted down by some dangerous people las
Just a few seconds ago he talked big like a genuine main character. There’s no way he is pulling back now. So he forces to act brave like he has nine lives to spare like some mythical cat.“So what if you have a gun? What are you going to do then? Shoot me? Here? Don’t you know who I am? I’m the son of…”Thomas suddenly shoots him without a warning. The shot misses, or maybe not. But the tip of the guy’s left ear is burning hot, grazed by the bullet.Still pointing the gun at the man, Thomas asks by faking a curious expression. “Excuse me! What were you trying to say just now?”Morgan is petrified like a stuffed scaredy-kitten, and then slowly raises both hands with trembling lips. He is gulping with a blank mind, with his instinct forcing him to apologize rather than losing his life.“Ap, ap, ap, apologize, sir!” Morgan stutters.“Apologize? Oh, that’s right! Should I go out there to apologize for this lady?” Thomas asks.The dude gives an awkward smile. “Nah, it’s okay! I’ll take my
He gets inside the house, and finds Naomi sitting with Erica in front of a custom bar. Their mood seems somewhat gloomy.“Hey, where should I put this suitcase?” Thomas asks from the living room.But Naomi isn’t responding to his call. Erica simply gives him a sign to go upstairs.Thomas leaves them, and goes straight into the first room he finds on the second floor. He drops the suitcase and then stands right in front of the bed.“Inventory! Take out the items from Box no. 13, 14, and 15!”A blue light appears before him, with a few lightning sparks. Three suitcases drop from it and fall onto the bed.Feeling hungry, he goes to the kitchen to check the fridge. Unfortunately, there is nothing he can eat there. He returns to Naomi, and finds her alone, holding a glass of drink with a bottle of whiskey in front of her.“Where is your friend?” Thomas asks.“She left! Why?” Naomi replies before bringing the glass closer to her lips.Thomas immediately snatches the glass from her. Naomi gla
The gun safety has been unlocked, and he looks so ready to pull the trigger. Clearly he doesn’t hate Naomi. His face is still flat without showing any hatred.The problem now, he only knew her two days ago. It’s not long enough for him to trust the girl, and there’s no reason for him to bet his life by trusting her.However, the gun and his hand are trembling, and his face looks so mad for not being able to make the move.“Come on, Thomas! You have the reason to kill her!”He has killed so many men before this. But now, he finds it hard to pull the trigger. His mind keeps telling him to kill, yet his heart says no.Somehow, the scene where Naomi defended him against her father resurfaces in his head. That’s how much trust the girl put on him, to the point she chose him over her own father.It makes Thomas look so irritated, finding another reason not to kill Naomi.“Fuck!” He curses with a stifled voice, and lowers his gun.Only now does he feel hatred slowly growing inside his heart.
