The Revenge Quest

“Excuse me sir, we will be closing now”Hardin looks up from his empty glass of whisky which he had been staring at for the past few minutes lost in thought. His wife, Karina had suddenly asked for a divorce over he past few weeks but he had refused to sign the papers. It wasn't like he was treated well in the family but he couldn't believe the woman he had loved so hard would give up on him so easily. “Sir?”Hardin slams a rough dollar bill on the table and staggers out of the bar. It was their anniversary night and he had asked Karina to go out with him in an attempt to convince her not to divorce him but he had foolishly waited for hours and she hadn't bothered to show up. Why was he holding out on a hopeless marriage when he was constantly abused? Redemption? Maybe he could work hard and prove to his wife that he could be the rich man she had always wished she married. Tipsy, Hardin takes a cab back to his house ready to face his furious wife forcing him to sign divorce papers

Hardin had been skeptical about getting into the car with a stranger. He didn't know if he was being driven to his doom or his fortune. Either way, he was willing to take the risk. If he was going to be taken to either Karina or Dario. He would make sure he ended their life on the spot as his revenge. After what they had done to him, they were better off dead. “Master, we are here”The old man, Sebastian steps out of the car and the chauffeur opens the door for Hardin. Hardin steps out and his mouth hangs open at the huge mansion standing in front of him. Astonished, he looks over at Sebastian. Who the hell owned such a mansion? The person must be very powerful and wealthy. But what did they want with someone like him? “This way sir”Hardin is escorted into the large mansion. He is in awe at all the luxurious items that surround him. Spiral stairs, Gold Walls. Expensive paintings. It looked like a castle. “Who is this person you want me to meet?”Sebastian gestures towards a door

“No!!!!”Karina shoves the bottles of perfume on her dresser to the floor. They all smash into pieces and she stares at her disheveled state as anger coursed through her veins. “Karina! What the hell are you doing?!”Dario scolds feeling angry himself. Karina scoffs. “Didn't you see that bastard at the party! Didn't you see how well-dressed he was looking?! That damn smug look on his face! He came to daunt us I'm so mad!”Dario lets out a deep sigh as he sits on the bed silently fuming. “I can't believe he made his way into the elite society and what? Did he change his name? How could it be that he acquired all that wealth?”Karina glares at Dario. “Why didn't you figure out he was released already?! He was meant to be there for five fucking years Dario! How the hell is he out?!”Dario rises to his feet and grips Karina's shoulders. “Calm down Karina! Pull yourself together! Don't turn into a mess because of that bastard”Karina pushes him away. “Then you need to do something an

“Thank you for your help with the investors Travis”Hardin shakes hands with his childhood friend Travis whom he had grown up with at the orphanage. He was now a police officer. “It's nothing at all. I am super glad I could be of help”Travis suddenly gets a call and he gets up after it ends.“It looks like I have an emergency to take care of being a cop and all. However, you should let me know if you need help in any way. I'm here for you”Hardin smiled. He was finally getting enough Allies. A few minutes after Travis exits the office, Layla rushes in with a look of panic on her face. “Sir! There's an emergency”Hardin sighs. “Calm down and tell me what it is”Layla catches her breath.“Attorney Park was involved in an accident”Hardin gets up. “What?!”…Hardin stared at Attorney Park who lay on the hospital bed covered in bandages. Luckily he had surgery and he was alive. The doctors were focusing on his condition. Hardin receives a call. “Hello, Detective Kim?”Hardin sits

“What the hell?”Luke reads the words on the letter. ‘'TURN YOURSELF IN YOU DRUG ADDICT”Angered, he crumples the paper in his hand. What? Did Hardin start threatening him? “How dare he do this to me? I already promised I will do it”Luke scratches his hair in frustration. As if beating him up was not enough. Was Hardin also threatening him as well? Luke needed to do something before he will go down but how was he going to get any information on his sister? How could he actually betray her? A knock is heard on the door startling Luke. He takes in a deep breath and lays down still feeling intense pain all over his body. “Come in”Dario walks in with a smile on his face dressed in a suit and standing confidently as he towered over Luke. “Can you be honest with me Luke? You know I consider you like my little brother"Luke scoffs. "Don't. You already have an abandoned brother"Dario smirks and leans closer to Luke. "Did Hardin really beat you to a pulp?”Luke glares at Dario. “
