“What do you mean?" Gaius knew Bright wouldn't say anything good.“I mean you could have been a journalist; why did you choose to be a businessman? You have wasted your talent,” Bright shook his head in disappointment."Hahaha,” they all burst into laughter. Gaius glared at Bright fiercely.….At the village…The leader of Jerome's men had been living in the village for three months. One day he was passing by at night when he saw six men chasing a young man.The man was good at running; he dodged them and hid in the bush. “He has been wounded and can't go far,” one of the men said."Let's split up." Another suggested. They all agreed and split into two.The leader stood there and analyzed the situation, “Did you see any young man wearing white trousers with a black shirt?" One of the group asked.“Yes, he went this way," the leader pointed straight to the road ahead of him."Thank you very much.” The man thanked him and left.After the group left, the leader of Jerome's men said in a s
“Boss, what do we do with the man Hayford rescued?"“Save him. He is still important to us. Since Tisha or whatever her name is will do anything to eliminate him, we will use him as bait," Jerome replied coldly. He will make sure he destroys the gang beyond repair. How dare they kidnap his grandfather.“What do we do next, boss?”“We will take action next week since it is the first Friday of the month."“But boss, if we are going to take action, why must we use the man as bait?"“She might not be the only person who has power in the organization. You can destroy a tree completely if you uproot it.”"I see. Right, till now we still haven't been able to identify the man who was tailing you at the restaurant.”"What! Is he a ghost? Bright, when did you become incompetent?” Jerome's tone was cold.“I'm sorry, boss. I will do my best to know more about him."“You should do it fast. I don't want any problems."“Yes, boss." After a short conversation, Bright said goodbye to Jerome and was abo
Finally, the due time has arrived. Bright met with the gang members. We are going to group ourselves into four; the first group will surround the village, and the second group will await at the entrance. Although some members might be with Tisha, I'm sure she will be short of manpower, and her only option would be to flee to the headquarters. Make sure to trace and find where the headquarters is,” Bright instructed."Alright, Boss," they all answered in unison.The gang members took three vans. The first group waited somewhere until 2:00 before surrounding the village.The second group didn't join the first group; they were waiting for the first group to signal them first.The last group remained in the hotel and didn't go out.... At Tisha's organization…"Tisha, everything is settled. We have one hour to go to the village.""Have you found the man?""No, it is like he has vanished into thin air with no traces of him.""That man shouldn't be kept alive. I will search for him myself i
“You can't intimidate us with your power. We gave you that power." The elders were not happy with her behavior.“Even though you gave me that power, my father founded this gang,” Tisha retorted."Do you think this gang would have reached this level if not for our support? Little girl, you are not the final boss here. We only accepted you to be our lady because of your father's final wish."When Tisha was five years old, her mother was brutally murdered by a rival gang. Her father took her to the gang and started training her. When she was ten years old, they were attacked by a different organization, and her father died while trying to save them.The organization did all they could to save him after the battle had ended, but it was too late. On his deathbed, he asked the elders to protect his daughter. He also told them she would succeed him after he passed away. This made her grow early, and she learned how to protect herself.Tisha clenched her fist hard. She had been working tirele
“Jasmine, please be fine," Eleanor pleaded."It's alright, we will find her. Eleanor. You will scare the little child," Jerome reassured.They received another call from Hayford. "Sir, we have been able to trace the car. The car was abandoned on the outskirts of Los Angeles. We are trying to search the surroundings.""Are there any uncompleted buildings?" Jerome inquired."No, sir, there isn't. I think they took another car and left this one behind. The car left behind was stolen. The owner reported to the police three days ago that his car was missing," Hayford reported."Hmm, inform the police. Tell them to do their best to find her. Try every possible means to locate her," Jerome commanded."Yes, boss," Hayford replied and hung up."What did he say?" Eleanor asked curiously."They were able to trace the car, but it was empty. It is obvious that the car has been changed.""Jasmine, where are you?" Eleanor mumbled.In an uncompleted building, Jasmine woke up to find herself tied to a
"Of course, to teach you a lesson. What else can I do?” Jerome chuckled."Will you talk?”"You can do your worst. I won't talk,” he said through gritted teeth.“Alright. It's been a while since I had fun. Be my entertainer tonight." He said and picked up the acid that was in a small plastic carboy, pouring a small amount onto his left hand – about one spoonful.“Ahahaha!!" The man screamed in horror. "You are a devil," he cursed.“Of course, I know I'm a devil." Jerome wore a sinister grin on his lips.“I'm honored to be called a devil," Jerome continued, pouring a small portion onto his left leg."Ahahaha, please kill me. Please kill me,” the man pleaded, unable to bear the pain.“Are you going to speak or not?" Jerome asked. He enjoyed his miserable cry. The man, though in intense pain, decided to endure it. He gritted his teeth but said nothing.“This game is really fun. Since you're not ready to talk, let me continue with my game," Jerome said coolly. "I need pepper," he ordered.
In the early morning, one of the security men rang the bell. Jerome, a light sleeper, woke up, clearly annoyed.“My wife is asleep; why are you ringing the doorbell at this hour? It's 5:00 a.m.”“I'm sorry, boss, but I need to show you something. Miss Jasmine…” the leader was still in shock."What happened to Jasmine?" Jerome thought she was found."At the entrance," he pointed. Jerome walked to the entrance and saw Jasmine's lifeless body lying on the floor. "Hurry, and call the doctor." Jerome wanted to get her out before his wife saw her.“Boss, she is already dead,” the bodyguard said.“Shut up!” He roared.“What's going on here?” They heard Eleanor's sleepy voice. Startled, Eleanor had been sleeping lightly since Jasmine went missing.“No…” Jerome tried to say something. The bodyguard quickly blocked her view, but one person couldn't block the view of a grown woman. She saw the leg of the lady. Before they could stop her, she had already walked to the body.“Jasmine, no, Jasmine.
Jerome sighed. The old woman was right. What if…, no,” he shook his head. He would do anything to protect his child and Eleanor.Jerome called one of the men who were on duty that night. “What were you doing when this happened? I told you to guard the house, and you all fell asleep.The bodyguard lowered his head and responded, "We all fell asleep after the food we ate.”Jerome didn't expect this answer. “ If what you are saying is true, then it means the person has infiltrated the camp. He knows all our moves.”"Yes, boss. That was what I thought.”"I see. You can leave." Jerome didn't blame them. Since the food was drugged, it was inevitable. He felt deeply in thought. After thinking deeply, he called Bright. “I need you to make a thorough investigation of all the cooks. Find out about the background of each of the cooks. I need it now.” His eyes were cold as he clenched his fist tightly to the phone.“Alright, boss." The information had already reached Bright, so he didn't ask. Aft
