The conference room was dimly lit, yet the chairs cast long shadows on the walls. The faces of most of the attending members were under shadows or covered with masks. Secrecy was integral in the high-profile meeting. However, a couple of them were too proud to remain hidden."The New World Order has taken over Springfield," an old but rugged-faced man said, leaning forward. He was Lector Damone, the Chairman of Falcon Industries, the third-largest conglomerate in the world."Didn't you send your grandson to neutralize them?" Alexander Blackwell jibed with a smirk."Hold your tongue!" Lector barked. "You are a minuscule company compared to mine.""I own Carmine City," came the reply. "But you lost Springfield, the mother lode! The Rapids Project will bring an end to all our businesses. What's the point of having a big dick if you can't get it up?"Sparks flew between the two patriarchs. Tensions flared between other members of the room as well. Billionaires and mafiosos from across the
The crowd began murmuring amongst themselves in utter confusion. What was going on? Had the host gone insane? What was that about enslaving the celebrities?Nina Mendez left her seat in a temper. She was acquainted with being pampered and fawned over. Instead, the host was being disrespectful. Even as a prank, his behavior was unacceptable."What nonsense is this?" she snapped at him with an exaggerated display of her arms. "If this is a joke, it's not a funny one! Quit it, or you're fired!"The host turned to her and sucker-punched her in the gut. Nina got the breath knocked out of her. She keeled over in pain. As the beauty raised her head, the host pointed a gun at her head. "Sit down or die, bitch! Your choice."Nina gasped and staggered back to her seat. The other celebrities, including Haley and Julia, were petrified. Had terrorists hijacked the event?The host smiled fiendishly from ear to ear and turned to the crowd. "It's time to purge the useless rabble first," he declared o
Rose Atelier was in Edgar Tower in an important project-related meeting when her secretary, Joanne, barged in."What is this, Jo? I instructed you not to disturb me until the meeting is over.""Ma'am, it's very urgent," the secretary said, approaching her boss with staggered steps. She had a panic-stricken look about her."Alright, tell me. What's wrong?"Joanne quickly stooped and whispered the news into Rose's ear. The latter's eyes widened. "What? How is that even possible?"Rose immediately excused herself from the meeting and rushed into an adjoining office with Joanne. Her mind raced, and she thought it was a living nightmare."Are you serious?" Rose asked in alarm. "All the staff in all my resorts are dead? How? Who did it?"Joanne looked like she'd spiral into hysteria at any moment. But she steeled herself before her boss. She wouldn't let herself break down until Rose knew what happened."It looks like poisoning, ma'am. Customers from all resorts have been calling, reporting
Haley B’s eyes fluttered open to dimly lit surroundings. She had been blindfolded and gagged for a while. However, she realized she had been transported underground.While Haley’s vision was cut off, someone undressed her and made her wear skimpy leather clothes. When her blindfold and gag were removed, she found herself in a low hall with dim lighting. Along with other celebrities and models, she was chained to a crucifix-like stand.Haley felt severely violated. It reminded her of the time terrorists captured her in Russia. Victor saved her then, but what about now?The beauty turned to look at her captor. It was actually another female who was tightening her bonds on the crucifix.“You’re one of the island staff, aren’t you?” she whispered. “Why are you doing this?”The young female was already in tears, and apprehension clouded her face. “I’m sorry, ma’am. The terrorists are making us do this. If we don’t cooperate, they will kill us. Be rest assured, I was the one who undressed
Victor woke up in a luxurious bed in the Black Rock villa. Even though such a lavish life was not unfamiliar to him, he always felt more comfortable sleeping in his old home beside Carol. Unfortunately, Black Rock was his new headquarters.Victor picked up his phone and found over a hundred calls and messages, mainly from Maverick.“Hello? What is it, Mav? I haven’t checked the messages yet.”Maverick’s tone was one of panic. “Sir, Springfield is under attack! Top billionaires have been assassinated overnight! Their families are being wiped out; Properties, businesses, and licenses are being bought off or usurped as we speak!”Victor clenched his jaw. “It must be Monolith! The Puppetmaster has declared war on us, it seems!””That’s most likely, sir. Our agents are trying to neutralize their teams, but we have low success rates. Clive Baron is safe. What are your orders?”Victor paused for a moment, processing the chaos in his head. It couldn’t be that simple. Monolith acquiring busine
Claire drove her Lamborghini in silence with Carol by her side. The sun was rising, casting an unnatural sheen over the world. Normally she would've enjoyed the spectacle, but it looked all black and white to her right now. Especially since it was almost confirmed her parents had been brutally murdered.Carol noticed the dried tears on her cheeks and her red eyes. The beauty was trembling at times."Hey… Is everything okay?" she asked softly, touching her shoulder.Claire's lips quivered, and she shook her head slightly. "No… Nothing is okay…""I'm sorry," Carol said. "I didn't know my actions would hurt you and make you cry. I swear I thought the element's discovery was good for the company."Claire bit her lip, trying to hold back tears. "No, my sorrows aren't because of you. You did well, actually.""Then what is bothering you?" she asked, touching her affectionately. "You can tell me."The billionaire beauty inhaled painfully. "I think… My parents… May be dead…"Carol covered her
The XB-999 Valkyrie tore through the skies at Mach-3 speed—over 2000 miles per hour. It was a supersonic bomber, otherwise decommissioned from the military. The aircraft was one of the many overpriced assets of the New World Order.Krull Island was around five hundred miles from Springfield, but the Valkyrie braved the distance within fifteen minutes."Sir, we are about to reach the point above the island," the three-star pilot said over the radio. "Are you ready to drop?""I am ready," Victor replied. He was actually lying under the fuselage of the aircraft, inside a hollow bomb weighing half a ton.Fifteen minutes earlier, when the Valkyrie picked him up from Springfield, the pilot gave him a red pill in a sachet. It was the level-2 activation formulation that would remove specific limiters placed on his body.Victor's constitution contained tremendous, immeasurable power. When he retired from the NWO two years back and returned to civilian life, the Tribunal, Atticus Mars, let him
