Judas's eyes narrowed, his voice laced with accusation. "I knew deep down that you're still working for me. you met Tyler yesterday and his wife today. You completely fooled his wife, I know you're doing all that for me. Just forgive me and let's work together."Raven burst into laughter, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Who's deceiving you? I'm with his wife because I want her to bring him back to his senses and accept my help."Judas's face darkened, his skepticism evident. "What help? I know you don't do anything that doesn't benefit you financially, and I knew Tyler will never pay you to get information from you."Raven's smile grew wider, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Yeah, he won't pay me because he isn't desperate to bring you down. You're the only desperate one here, and I'm not helping Judas because of money."Judas's eyes narrowed, his voice laced with disbelief. "Why are you helping him then?"Raven's expression turned serious, her eyes locked on Judas. "My conscienc
Judas's face turned red with rage and pain, his eyes blazing with fury. "You'll regret this, Collins!" he snarled, his voice venomous. "You'll regret crossing me!"Collins's smile was cold and unforgiving. "I'm shaking in my boots, Mr," he sneered. "But I'll never regret protecting Raven from scum like you."Raven's eyes filled with tears, her voice pleading. "Collins, please! Let him go! This isn't worth it!"But Collins's grip only tightened, his eyes never leaving Judas's face. "You can't hurt my bad and expect me to just find my hands and watch. "You deserve more than I did to you."Judas's eyes flashed with anger, his face twisted in a snarl. "You'll pay for this, Collins!" he spat, his voice dripping with malice. "You'll pay for humiliating me!"With a sudden jerk, Collins released Judas's wrist, sending him stumbling backward. Raven rushed to Collins's side, her eyes wide with fear. "Collins, please! Let's just leave! He's not worth it!"Collins's eyes never left Judas's face,
Raven's eyes filled with a mix of sadness and determination as she gazed at Collins. "I told you, Collins, you can't fall for me. I'm bad news. I love you, but I can't date you. Judas is going to hurt you, and I don't want that for you." Her voice was laced with a hint of desperation, her words tumbling out in a rush.Collins's expression remained steadfast, his eyes locked onto Raven's with a fierce intensity. "I know that guy so well, Raven. He's fond of misusing his power, but you don't need to be afraid of what will happen to me. I can take care of myself." His voice was confident, his jaw set in a resolute line.Raven's eyes flashed with frustration, her hands gesturing in a helpless motion. "You don't understand, Collins. Judas has a way of getting what he wants, no matter the cost. He'll stop at nothing to destroy anyone who stands in his way. And if he finds out about us...about how I feel about you..." Her voice trailed off, her eyes filling with unshed tears.Collins's face
As they drove to the barracks, Tyler's mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and strategies. He could feel the adrenaline coursing through his veins, his heart pounding in his chest. He was determined to show them all what it meant to cross Tyler, the General.As they arrived at the barracks, Tyler could see the soldiers gathered outside, their faces tense with anticipation. He nodded to Alex, and they got out of the car, walking towards the soldiers."General Tyler has arrived!" Alex shouted, his voice carrying across the courtyard.The soldiers snapped to attention, their eyes fixed on Tyler. He walked towards them, his eyes scanning the crowd, his jaw set in a firm line."Listen up, soldiers!" Tyler barked, his voice echoing off the walls. "We have a situation on our hands. The board of directors thinks they can push me around, threaten me. But I won't be intimidated. I won't be threatened. I built this company from the ground up, and I'll be damned if I let them take it away from me!"
Tyler's eyes gleamed with triumph as he leaned back in his chair. "So, go ahead and try to take me down. Try to oust me from my position. But you'll fail. Because I have the truth on my side, and I have the support of the people who matter."The directors shifted uncomfortably in their seats, their eyes avoiding Tyler's gaze. They knew they had underestimated him, and they were starting to realize that they had made a grave mistake."You see, gentlemen," Tyler continued, his voice dripping with confidence. "I've been preparing for this moment for a long time. I've been building alliances, gathering evidence, and waiting for the perfect moment to strike. And that moment is now."Tyler's eyes narrowed as he leaned forward, his voice taking on a menacing tone. "So, go ahead and try to take me down. But be warned: I will not go down without a fight. And I will make sure that those who try to betray me will suffer the consequences."The room fell silent, the directors cowering under Tyler'
Judas's voice was laced with disbelief and concern, his words tumbling out in a rush. "What! He sacked the shareholders? Can he even manage the company himself? That's a recipe for disaster!"Alex's sigh was heavy, his frustration palpable. "I don't know, Judas. I heard the shareholders got a tip about Tyler embezzling company money. I hope you aren't the one who gave them that fake tip."There was a pause, and for a moment, Alex thought he'd lost the connection. But then Judas's voice came through, laced with a mix of defiance and guilt. "You don't need to ask, Alex. I did it. I thought it would bring him down once and for all."Alex's anger flared, his voice rising. "I told you not to do anything without informing me first! You know how dangerous Tyler is. Now you've played right into his hands!"Judas's response was barely audible, his voice laced with regret. "I have done that before you told me that, Alex. I didn't think it through. I just wanted to take him down."Alex's anger t
Judas stood up from the floor, his legs shaking with urgency as he quickly rushed to the garage. His heart raced with anticipation, his mind fixed on escape. As he burst into the garage, he saw his brother's car pulling in, the tires screeching to a halt. His brother, Matthew, leapt out of the car, his face twisted in anger.Without a word, Matthew strode towards Judas, his eyes blazing with fury. Judas froze, his eyes fixed on his brother's approaching form. Before he could react, Matthew landed a stinging slap on his face, the sound echoing through the garage. Judas's head jerked back, his eyes watering from the pain.As he struggled to recover from the first blow, Matthew struck again, his hand connecting with Judas's cheek with a loud crack. Judas's eyes widened in shock, his ears ringing from the force of the slap."I warned you to behave, I warned and begged you!" Matthew yelled, his voice hoarse with anger. "Now can you see the damage you've done to the company?"Judas's hand i
"As for Judas's fate, that will be determined by the legal system," Matthew continued. "We will not tolerate any illegal activities within our company, and we will take all necessary steps to ensure that those responsible are held accountable."The reporters nodded, their eyes gleaming with excitement. They sensed a big story brewing, and they were determined to get all the details."Mr. Matthew, can you tell us more about the investigation?" one reporter asked, her voice piercing through the din.Matthew nodded. "The authorities are conducting a thorough investigation, and we are fully cooperating with them. We will provide any information they need to ensure that justice is served."Another reporter spoke up. "How did you discover Judas's illegal activities?"Matthew's expression turned serious. "We have a robust internal compliance system in place, and our team discovered some irregularities in Judas's transactions. We immediately launched an investigation and reported our findings
Matthew's heart pounded in his chest, its rhythmic beat echoing through his entire being. A sense of trepidation washed over him, settling heavy in the pit of his stomach. The air seemed to thicken around him, heavy with an unspoken tension that threatened to suffocate him.Judas's eyes glinted with a knowing spark, a hint of mischief that made Matthew's skin crawl. His smile grew wider, his lips curling up into a sly, knowing grin. The atmosphere around them grew increasingly oppressive, weighted with an anticipation that seemed to vibrate through every molecule.The door to the room burst open, and Tyler, Sanya, and Alex stormed in, their faces set in determined expressions. The sudden intrusion caught Judas off guard, and his eyes widened in shock, his smile faltering. For a moment, he seemed frozen, his mind reeling as he realized he had been outmaneuvered.The air in the room seemed to shift, the balance of power suddenly tilting in favor of the newcomers. The tension was palpabl
"This is beyond what we thought," Alex replied, his voice filled with surprise and a hint of concern. He looked at Tyler, his eyes wide with alarm. "Judas is escalating things faster than we anticipated."Tyler's face was set in a determined expression, his eyes narrowed in thought. "We need Matthew's response," Tyler said, his voice low and muttered, as if he was thinking out loud.Alex paced around the room, his footsteps echoing off the walls. He was deep in thought, trying to process the latest development and come up with a plan to counter Judas's move. The air in the room was thick with tension, and the silence was oppressive, punctuated only by Alex's footsteps."Judas is overstepping his boundaries," Alex said, his voice firm and resolute. He stopped pacing and turned to face Tyler and Sanya. "We need to take a stand and show him that we won't be intimidated."Tyler's eyes narrowed, his expression thoughtful. He was considering Alex's words, weighing their options.But before
Tyler stood up from his seat, his eyes scanning the room as he began to pace back and forth. His mind was racing with thoughts and ideas, and he needed to move to process them. "Matthew, can you help us?" Tyler asked, his voice firm and resolute. He stopped pacing and turned to face Matthew, his eyes locked onto his.Matthew looked up, a hint of confusion on his face. "What do you mean, Tyler?" Matthew replied, his voice tinged with curiosity. He leaned forward, his elbows on his knees, as he waited for Tyler to elaborate.Tyler took a deep breath, his eyes never leaving Matthew's face. "I mean, can you use your resources to help us track down Judas and Rayna?" Tyler asked, his voice clear and concise. "We need all the help we can get if we're going to take them down."Tyler took a deep breath, his eyes locked onto Matthew's. "You have to be our bait to Judas and Rayna," Tyler answered, his voice low and serious.Sanya's eyes widened in surprise, her brow furrowed in concern. "How?" s
As they discussed, Tyler's eyes suddenly darted towards the entrance, his gaze locking onto a figure walking in. He nudged Matthew discreetly, his eyes never leaving the newcomer.Matthew followed Tyler's gaze, his eyes widening as he spotted Rayna walking towards them. Her eyes seemed to be fixed on them, a hint of a smile playing on her lips.Matthew's instincts kicked in, his mind racing with possibilities. "Could Rayna be stalking us?" he asked, his voice low and cautious.Tyler's expression turned serious, his voice steady. "Yes, she can," he replied, his eyes never leaving Rayna's face. "We need to be careful, Matthew. We don't know what she's capable of."Matthew's eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched in anger. "Let's attack her," he said, his voice low and menacing.But Tyler's expression turned cautious, his voice determined. "No, let's leave," he said, his eyes scanning the surrounding area. "This place is not safe for us. We don't know what Rayna is capable of, and we can't take
In that minute, Matthew leaned back in his chair, his eyes fixed on some point in the distance as he replayed Rayna and Judas' conversation in his mind. He was resonating with their words, his intuition picking up on the undercurrents of tension and urgency that had flowed beneath their exchange.As he wondered if he could intervene, a spark of curiosity ignited within him. But it was quickly followed by a more primal urge - a desire to take action, to insert himself into the situation and shape its outcome. Matthew's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with possibilities and scenarios.Just as he was pondering his next move, he heard Judas's voice, soft and urgent, drifting from the other room. "We must act quickly, Rayna," Judas said, his voice lowered to a whisper. Matthew's ears perked up, his interest piqued. Who was Judas talking to? And what did they need to act quickly about? Matthew's curiosity was now fully aroused, and he found himself leaning forward, his ears straining to pick
"Yes, but you heard a step," Rayna said, her voice firm, her eyes locked onto Judas's."Yes, I heard a vo...," Judas replied, but he couldn't finish his statement as they heard a loud, exploded sound. The ground shook beneath their feet, and the air was filled with the acrid smell of smoke and burning metal.Rayna and Judas were shocked, their faces pale with fear. They stumbled backward, their eyes wide with terror, as they tried to escape the spot.Judas peeped through a window, and from afar, he noticed that it was a car bomb. The vehicle was engulfed in flames, the metal twisted and charred beyond recognition. Judas's eyes widened in horror as he realized the magnitude of the explosion."What was that?" Rayna whispered, her voice trembling with fear.Judas turned to her, his face grim. "It's a car bomb," he replied, his voice low and urgent. "We need to get out of here, now."Rayna breathed heavily, her chest heaving with fear. "What is that?" Rayna asked, her voice trembling with
Matthew sat on the couch, his eyes fixed on some distant point as he became profound in his thoughts. His mind was a whirlwind of emotions, and he couldn't help but sense an unease that had been building up inside him for days. It was a feeling that had been growing in intensity, and it all centered around one person: Judas.His trusted brother, his confidant, now seemed shrouded in a veil of secrecy. Matthew had always thought of Judas as his rock, the one person he could always count on. But now, he wasn't so sure.Days turned into weeks as Matthew found himself spying on Judas's every move. He noticed the unwavering acts, the subtle changes in Judas's behavior that seemed to hint at a deeper, darker truth. Matthew's gut told him that something was off, that Judas was hiding something from him.As he sat on the couch, lost in thought, Matthew heard the sound of footsteps approaching. He looked up to see Judas standing before him, a backpack slung over his shoulder."You are ready to
"Matthew, nothing happens to the team," Judas answered, his voice steady and reassuring. He knew he had to keep Matthew calm, to prevent him from spiraling out of control."But how?" Matthew demanded, his voice rising in frustration. "They were here, and then they just vanished into thin air. It doesn't make any sense."He added, his words tumbling out in a rush. "They are not here anymore. I've searched everywhere, but there's no sign of them. It's as if they never existed."Judas's expression remained calm, but his mind was racing. He knew that Matthew was telling the truth - Tyler and his team had been taken out, and it seemed like a professional job. But who could have done it? And why?Judas hesitated, his mind racing with the implications of Matthew's words. He had to come up with a plan, a way to salvage the situation and turn the tables in their favor. He took a deep breath, his eyes locked onto Rayna's as he began to think out loud."We need to dig deeper," Judas responded, h
Rayna's eyes darted around the dimly lit surveillance room, her fingers flying across the keyboard with a soft clicking sound. The air was thick with tension as she worked to bypass the security system. Judas sat beside her, his gaze fixed intently on the screens in front of them, his eyes scanning the feeds for any sign of movement."We are almost there," Rayna whispered, her voice barely audible over the hum of the computers. Her eyes locked onto the screen, her brow furrowed in concentration. "Just a few more minutes..." she trailed off, her fingers moving swiftly over the keyboard.Judas nodded silently, his eyes never leaving the screens. He was a man of few words, but his presence was reassuring. Rayna knew she could count on him to have her back, no matter what they were up against."No, we are not winning yet, Tyler and his team escaped," Judas said, his voice filled with disappointment and frustration. His eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched in anger.Rayna's eyes widened in shoc
