Far off from the bustling Axel City, where wealth and power thrive, lies a lowly desolate community of barely one thousand people whose lives depend solely on how much they can find. Driving into this place was like driving into a scene after an apocalypse, the buildings were not exactly what a person would call a home, rather bits of metals patched together with one on top as a roof. Most of which wasn't even large enough to contain a family of two people. The streets were covered in fifth, old papers, sweet wraps, rags, and dead animals. Stinking drainage and whatnot? it's just sad that there are people who call this place home. "Why does he live here?" Oscar wondered again as they drove past the street. Thanks to the kind of car they drove, all attention was drawn to them, people standing in awe, some in envy while others stared with sheer hatred for the rich people who lived in the same city but did not care about them. Looking out the window, Oscar could see a few abandon
"This was expected sir," Tom said, "Let it not surprise you, I already told you sir that they hate rich people, kids are no exception because it was taught to them that rich men are the reason why their life is the way it is. We can continue, since Wades Street is not so far away from here." Tom concluded and began walking back to the car. It took Oscar a few seconds to take his eyes off the boy, mostly because it reminded him of his younger days in the orphanage where there was barely enough to eat for everyone and poor medical support. He recalled how he was constantly bullied for his poor stature, wounded and unable to fight back. Unfortunately, he had no choice but to accept the ingratitude and move on, after all, Wade was the reason he came here in the first place. Now he knows, and can visit here a lot more often, "These people need help," He mumbled as he got back into the car. He took off his suit jacket which was stained by the boy's blood and dirt, leaving him in hi
Outside the gate. Tom called the attention of one of those men who had been around watching them, and a young man, in his early twenties walked up to them...His gaze upon Tom was suspicious, but this was no surprise considering that they were holding lots of guns. "Hey man, what's up?" Tom asked, intending to keep the dialogue simple and his tone a little less threatening. "I'm okay," The man replied to which Tom nodded and proceeded to ask his next question. "Do you have any idea who lives here?" He asked, and the man nodded. "Yes," He said, "Wade Sylvester, he is very popular here." "Oh, how come?" Tom inquired, the more information he acquired, the better. "He goes out, and brings back a lot of things for us here, food, clothes, and many other things he was more like our hero or so to say." The man explained the look on his face gave away how much Wade's absence must have affected them. "What happened to him?" Oscar finally asked the question that had been on his m
7 a.m Axel City Saturday It had been three days since they had gone to the ghetto in search of Wade, yet the young man was nowhere to be found, and he didn't report to work throughout the rest of the week. All police units that were contacted claimed not to have him in their custody, leaving Oscar concerned. However, that is not the only thing that has been giving him concerns lately, the doctor had told him that Amy wasn't showing signs of recovery. He went to see her every day and spent hours in the ward with his mother hoping and praying that she would survive. The search for Jordan Henstridge remains mysterious, as though they were looking for a person who did not exist, and Oscar was no longer settled with all this. Jade was reported to have died the following day due to severe lung and liver damage due to her continuous drug intake. And as for Raj and the other two who had been arrested, they remained in custody, with Raj at the verge of going to jail because even
Aiden watched as tons of cops tropped into the Slytherin mansion as if they had come out of thin air, along with them was the lawyer, who so far has not revealed herself to anyone outside Oscar and will not until the time is due. Those bodyguards who have come along with Aiden were immediately alerted, they abandoned their searches and clouded their master like a protective shield, each one raising their guns as a defense mechanism. One of them quickly grabbed onto Oscar, and pointed a gun directly at his head, while signaling the cops to stay back. Tom being agitated wanted to hurry up to his master, but the police chief tapped his hand, signaling him to stay put and not make matters worse. "A setup up huh?" Aiden asked, he lowered his head and chuckled mockingly. "Mr. Aiden Slytherin," the police chief tried to close the distance between them, "You are under arrest, on charges of attempted murder and financial embezzlement. You have the right to remain silent, or whatever
It felt like a military war zone down there, but without the sound of a single gunshot. There were mostly physical combats and furniture damage. The cops were doing all that they could to keep these men at bay, whilst trying not to break anything, but that was far from reality. These men used all that they could lay their hands on as weapons, especially since most of their guns had been seized or knocked out of their hands. Aiden attempted to hide from the chaos but sat underneath the staircase, unaware that he was the first person Tom noticed as soon as he got down the stairs. Looking behind him, Tom almost chuckled at the coward who had come along with an army to fight them. At first, he wanted to assist the cops since they were not so large but then realised that if he had their leader, then they would compose themselves so that his life would be spared. "Hey!" Tom waved at Aiden, startling the old man to a point where he almost fell to the ground. "I used to respect you so mu
Oscar was quite impatient to get back to the Slytherin Empire to declare that he had regained his position as the CEO, he couldn't wait to see the look on John Carter's face, and how shocked Micheal would be when he learned that Oscar was back. But thinking of Micheal once again, Oscar couldn't help but sigh in disappointment, the young man never seemed to learn his lesson, and he thought maybe he wasn't doing enough. Oscar felt the need to push this to the next level, but he'd have to think about it for a while, before putting it to the test. Once he got dressed and ready to work, staring at the full mirror in the hallway, an idea came to his mind, an awful one. He was shocked as to how he could come up with such a dubious plot and commended himself for a job well done. "Just to execute it," He mumbled with a chuckle, only for his celebration to be cut short by Leo's voice. "Are you ready sir?" He asked. "Yes, very well," Oscar nodded in agreement and followed Leo downst
Without warning, Oscar, accompanied by all these escorts, walked into the building, with everyone stepping out of the way as they had no idea what was going to happen. Seeing Leo along with Oscar, John already guessed that the young man had betrayed them, "That's why you don't trust loyal people," He thought to himself with a disgusted look. He never imagined in his head that the cops were here for him, rather he thought that Oscar had come with the cops to kick Aiden Slytherin out of position. But to his greatest surprise, two cops approached him, and the next thing he knew, there was a handcuff on his wrists, and the cop said their usual words, "You have the right to remain silent or whatever you say will be used against you in the court of law." "What is the meaning of this?" He asked, "What have I done, all this is nonsense, you have no right or evidence to arrest me, Oscar, what is the meaning of this?" He asked and Oscar let out a slight chuckle. "Your boss is at
