"Finally, I won!" Bruce cheered as he danced around, directly drinking from the wine bottle. "It wasn't easy winning against you; damn, making it 6-1."

"You were a bit lucky, if not, I could have given you a clean sheet but it seems like you buckled up not to allow such," William smiled, watching Bruce dance around childishly.

"I'll go sick for days if I can't win a single one in any of the games, but I was able to win one in this chess game." Bruce reveals his white teeth as he smiles.

For the past hours, William and Bruce have been busy playing games, challenging each other, but no matter how much Bruce tried playing, he wasn't able to win a single one in any of the games. Pool game, checker, backgammon, risk, and stratego, but he wasn't able to win except finally in the chess game after losing good six times.

"You know I'm good at these games; I have played them a lot in the past, so against you who don't have time for games, there is a probability that I'll win since I am used to

What got those two furious to go against Thomas Hidalgo?' Those questions have troubled her heart ever since she got the information. Valentina and Tony enter the elevator for quick arrival rather than using the stairs. Tony quickly inputted the floor number of Thomas Hidalgo lodge after confirming from the two men he assigned to keep a lookout for the situation and make sure the commotion wasn't noticed by any third party. *BING* Soon, the elevator movement stopped, announcing their arrival at the floor.

    Meanwhile, at the police station, everywhere was bustling with everybody busy with one or two tasks. They were all focused on their work, not even having the chance to have free talk with their colleagues except those who were working together or exchanging useful information.A young man not in uniform walked into the main hall of the police department with an ID hanging on his neck, indicating that he was a cop there.Walking inside the busy hall with a tired look on his face, his white T-shirt was soaked with sweat, a testament of the long day he had endured."Detective Deng, Captain requests you immediately report to his office when you're back," another cop said to him after they exchanged greetings.Without any hesitation, he made his way to the Captain's office.Knock! Knock! Knock!"Come in," a deep voice said from inside.Entering inside, across the table, a middle-aged man could be seen focused on the computer in front of him, his hands speedily clicking across the wide keyb

    The next morning, news of the Kensingtons being attacked by bandits was all over the news. People were surprised by this; thoughts of who dared to send these bandits to attack them filled their heads, but one thing they knew was that the Kensingtons might have offended someone or a family more wealthy and powerful than them. The public doesn't know about the current bad terms between the Hidalgos and Kensingtons. In fact, the news about Thomas being attacked in the "Luxe Fernandez Hotel" was hidden from the public and only known by a few people.On a popular TV channel known as ZeeTv, a show was airing. Three presenters were on stage, two female and one male in the middle."Strange that the cops didn't arrive on time, until twenty minutes later," the female presenter on the left side of the male said with a thoughtful expression."It seems like the attack was well-planned because it was reported that the moment these people attacked, the network suddenly went down and they couldn't

    "What the hell?... So you're telling us that your daughter disappeared into thin air?"The bandits were pissed off.Pow!One of them shot the bleeding guard, completely killing him off.Everyone gasped in fear when they saw this, terrified as they were afraid of what would happen to them. Instantly, they all caught cold, shivering at the heavy smell of blood."Do you all think we're joking here? If you don't reveal to us where Catherine is, every minute, we're going to kill one person until she is provided."The tension in the air right now was high; no one wants to die at the cold, bloody hands of these wicked souls, who were ready to kill everyone.Marianne and Bridget thought about why the bandits were even looking for Catherine. They knew the kind of person she was; she wasn't troublesome, making them wonder how she could have offended these gangsters."Ahhhhh!" Suddenly, the loud, deep voice of someone crying out in pain drifted over to the ears of everyone."What's happening up

    After Bruce came to help handle the bandits outside, William felt relief and immediately rushed off to get to the main deal. "I pray I make it in time. Please be safe and sound for me, Catherine," William silently continuously said to himself as he ran towards the back of the mansion. Checking his phone, he noticed that there was no network, the same as it was on Henry's side. Meaning it wasn't a coincidental attack but was planned for them to use the same trick here too. Unfortunately, they didn't know who they were dealing with, William wasn't the powerless weakling of before; now, he was at a higher level than anyone thought. "After this, I'll make sure I deal with the bastards involved in this," he already had two people in mind, Tony McAllister and the Hidalgos. He already knew about the Hidalgo's revenge on the Kensingtons; it was all over the news. He did some digging into the matter and discovered that the Hidalgos were the ones behind everything. But William wasn't going

William felt uncomfortable as he looked at the notification that just arrived.He quickly clicked on the notification, bringing him to a fresh page.[System alert!!! There is an emergency within your marked user location.

He secretly got access into her phone and activated a locator signal inside it.He already had the thought to do that to keep a better lookout for her; he couldn't afford for her to be in any trouble that would endanger her life.Seeing the expression on William's face, Henry a

    "Mr. Hidalgo, we're deeply sorry concerning your son. Catherine is facing the consequences for her actions," Mrs. Kensington spoke with Mr. Hidalgo over the phone, her expression unpleasant as she apologized to him.She couldn't believe that one day she would be apologizing to someone younger than her.Mrs. Kensington was senior to Mr. Hidalgo but in this world, power and wealth are what are considered, not age or seniority. Well, she had to do it, or else her family would be doomed. The Hidalgos were wealthy and influential around town and beyond, so getting other families or companies to do their bidding wasn't difficult.Reporting to the police wouldn't solve it; it would only worsen the situation."Is this all you have to say?" Mr. Hidalgo replied angrily. "Then, get out but expect more feedback from me."Mrs. Kensington frowned when she heard him. 'Catherine, I'll deal with you so much,' she cursed in her heart."Then, how about compensation?" She asked thoughtfully.There was si

    In a tall building, a muscular man lay on the floor, his eyes focused on the binoculars attached to the gun set up in front of him."There they are," he whispered to himself, smiling and chewing gum joyfully while nodding to the beat of the music playing through his earphones. "Easy mission; thought the targets would be more challenging."A minute later, he positioned himself again, getting a clear view of his target.Pow!He pulled the trigger with a smile, already envisioning success.But his smile froze as nothing happened; the bullet missed his target. Confusion clouded his face."What? How's that possible?" the attacker asked himself, confused, as he looked through the binoculars, which he could no longer see the target as they had gone into hiding after the miss."Sh*t, did I miss? No, I've been doing this for too long to miss easily," he thought, finding it strange."Wait, they suddenly went down at the last moment. How the f*ck did they know I was going to attack right at this

    "What do you need my help for? Just go ahead and tell me about it, I'll try my very best to accomplish it as long it's something within my capacity."Henry humbly spoke in respect, walking alongside William and Bruce, heading towards the mansion. Even though he knew he was older than William, he didn't allow that to get to his head and treat him harshly. He didn't know William's identity, but he was sure it was a powerful one."Help me look into the Hidalgo's companies, everything about them," William requested.Henry nodded, then called out to one of the guards around."Get to the head security and tell him to see me immediately," he dismissed the guard after instructing him.Entering the mansion, the moment they stepped inside, the door swung open, and someone came running towards them."Hey, uncles. You left unannounced, it's not fair," Anabel said with a saddened face as she expressed her disappointment at their unannounced departure."Ahhhh, come on, we left due to an emergency,"
