In his office, Williams was sweating a bucket at that moment, he had received word from Markus Grey and his group to meet him at their den without fail or face his ruthless wrath, the note had simply read, 'Once upon a time, someone expired for not heeding my immediate call, could be you next. You know who' It didn't help that the person who had delivered the note had turned away immediately after giving him a warning look. From the moment Williams had received the note that was hand-delivered to him, he had felt a constant nausea and difficulty in swallowing. At the moment, he was in his office pacing like a maniac and occasionally clutching at himself, he felt an unusual cold and kept shivering, his teeth clattering despite the scorching sun and his hot room, 'I'm done for, I'm in a deep mess, what have I gotten myself into?’ He kept muttering and lamenting to himself; from the moment he had heard the rumours of the warehouse being watched, he knew he was in trouble, Markus' not
Williams paled as he stood in front of the entrance to Markus' den, he sighed dejectedly while he watched the decoy entrance, he felt numb all over and his arms were limp, He didn't know what he would find there, shuffling in his footsteps, he took small steps as he walked towards his looming doom. In as much as he tried to put on a brace face, he couldn't and so with a downcasted countenance, he made his way to Markus' chambers, “Well well well, looky who we have here brethren" Markus announced Williams’ arrival as soon as he was let in by the bodyguard, Williams could only bow his head low and didn't utter a word, "Proceed, Bates, come on in” Tipping his head back, Markus told him in a saccharine voice, giving a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, bringing down his head he narrowed his eyes on Williams, and made a fake pouty face, “Aww, is the whiny prick a little scaredy?” His gaze still narrowed completely on Williams, he clenched his jaws and commanded through gritted
Unaware of the endangerment of his family's life, Adam walked behind Adam as they walked through the doors of a hotel lobby,Adam with a creased brow darted his eyes around, wondering what they were doing in a hotel, he shrugged off the thoughts as a hotel was indeed a public place, “Please have your seat, Mr Adam"Amber calmly instructed as she waved to an available chair while sitting down herself, saying nothing in response, Adam took the seat and relaxed his back onto it.“He'll be here shortly, I've informed him about our arrival"Adam nodded his head and rested his neck on the top of the chair, staring absentmindedly at the glass-covered ceiling,A few minutes later, a man dressed in cargo pants and a nice polo shirt strolled in, his blonde hair was slicked to the back and he had a little moustache. In spite of his simple looks, Adam could tell that the man was a distinguished man and an experienced one at that,Seeing the man approach, Amber perked up in her seat and smiled at
Adam got out of the hotel and headed to the main road in search of a taxi, as he had pitched a ride with Amber, taking out his phone from his pocket he called Raul once more, who immediately picked up the call, “Young Master?" “Send one of the drivers over Raul, I'm at the SunRoom Hotel” "Right away Sir” "One more thing Raul, what do you know about these kidnappers? Have you got any information?” “I believe they were a group of five men who made the attack, sent by a man named Markus Grey…” "Thank you, Raul, that will be all” Adam immediately cut him short, he had a name and that was enough, he glanced at his wristwatch to check the time, the driver Raul was delaying him, he clutched the phone in his hand too tightly and used his free hand to comb his fingers through his hair, Needing more information about who had taken his parents hostage, he called Adrien, who immediately picked up the call as it rang, “I take it you've gotten the news?" “Yes. What do you know about a cert
“How lovely of you to grace us with your presence, Adam Sanders” With crossed arms and a jutted-out chest, Markus sneered as his eyes fell on Adam, his voice carrying a little hint of admiration, he had watched as Adam had single-handedly beat up his met and didn't bother to interfere, he subtly glanced at Adam's fingers and didn't see the ring on it, his eyes reddened at that realisation and he clenched his fist, He had been looking forward to possessing that ring, but now the idiot hadn't come along with it. One thing that perplexed him was that, though Adam was without the ring, but he had been able to skillfully beat up a total number of over a hundred and fifty men, and he wondered how he had been able to do all of that without the Maracuda Ornate ring. He lifted his eyes back to Adam and smirked, his eyes glinting with evil, spread out his arms and said, “Welcome to my lair, glad to have you join us" Despite the fight that he had gone through, Adam’s exterior and body postur
Markus immediately gulped subtly, wincing as he did. His gaze on Adam was alert, keeping strong eye contact before he nodded curtly at him, and in a steady voice, that was pitched low uttered, “Bring it in my good friend" He leered at Adam, and with his eyes still on Adam, he bent over and retrieved a dagger beneath the table he stood beside, straightening himself up, he thrust the dagger in Adam's direction, making Adam flinch back a little, at the reaction Markus smiled maniacally, “Come any further, and you'll be dead meat. I'm no coward to beg you for my life! I own my life, nobody else owns it!" With his feet planted in a wide stance, Markus focused his attention on Adam, trying to mirror Adam's movements. He knew he had to be swift and calculative to defeat Adam because Adam was like a wind you never saw coming. He stood solidly, at the ready for any form of attack from Adam, who only looked at him casually with raised eyebrows and folded arms. Adam knew that Markus would
Inside her car, Amber was unable to keep still as she kept fidgeting on her seat, her eyes moving from window to window, she hated not knowing what was happening, it didn't help that the building seemed to be soundproof hence no sound or movement came from it. She ran her hands through her hair for the umpteenth time, chewing on her lips constantly, she hoped Mr Adam was safe and sound, although she had seen him fight and take on all of those men, she didn't know if he would be able to take on all of the men in that building including Markus Grey, considering the fact that he had earlier fought a bunch of miscreants. The waiting and anxiety were killing Amber as she sat in her chair, constantly tapping on her steering wheel, Lincoln Turner and the Pilant group were child's play where Markus Grey and his group was, despite the fact that Lincoln was also a sinister being. “Damn it to hell" She exclaimed in a loud voice, before leaning underneath her chair and bringing out a silver pi
A little over a week later, Williams and Curtis got the news about Markus’ death concurrently at their different locations and the two men's reactions to the news were quite similar. It was hardly believable that the great and powerful Markus Grey was dead; murdered in fact. He had seemed like a cat with nine lives, an immortal being, yet he had died so carelessly. Fear gripped both men, at the thought that whoever it was who killed him could possibly be coming for them, No one had revealed the cause of his death, but there had been rumours that he had been murdered, Williams didn't think of the possibility that it could be Adam, on the other hand, Curtis thought it too much of a coincidence and was hoping for the same fate to not befall him, and so despite having relations with Markus Grey and his men, the two men steered clear of any news that had to do with him, and also stayed away from the group's location as well as the hideout. In celebration of Markus' death and his supposed
