"Young man... what your name again?"

"Daniel?"

"Yeah, Daniel!. To Mrs. Potts , you aren't a commoner. No human would have ever done what you did for her."

"Why? what makes you say that?"

"I have witnessed such situations. You know I was shocked at first but later I realized few things. The poor will always want to get into the riches court and snatch from them , or go far to make the rich Court's theirs. But you , you are a rare gem.",

"Oh but sir."

"Call me Nicholas, no need for the sir."

"Ermm, alright.", Daniel felt uneasy. He needed to go back home before Dean gets suspicious about his whereabouts and he wasn't sure what Jenny was going to tell him or even his uncle if he returned.

    It was a splendid morning as the streets were already occupied and roaming with pedestrians and vehicles. A yellow taxi zoomed in sight and stopped almost immediately before a very tall skyscraper, the tall building was fenced by metal wired walls which would prevent intruders from jumping in or out because they would either die of electrocution or instead wouldn't jump. There was also a metal gate at the entrance of the building guarded by four security men dressed in what seems like cops outfits and are heavily armed with rifles and shot guns. Observing the vicinity from the taxi, they realized the vicinity of the Fortune Construction Company is also guarded by CCTV cameras. Thus, this gave the company a very high level of security even Strangler had no other choice than to reverberate his thoughts.Strangler sat at the back seat, he was dressed in a black leather jacket, white top underneath, black trouser and white boots. He also wore a black shade over his face shrouding his e

Knock!Not long, he hard the hard knock on the door. He was petrified with fear, so much fear his lives flashed before his eyes and suddenly, his whole body felt paralyzed. Unable to move not even the smallest vein and muscle in his body, he just sat on the stool breathing and sweating profusely like a sprinter that went on a marathon.Knock! Knock! Knock!Came the knocks again and this time came the elderly tone of Nicholas along Sarah. His fear suddenly depleted on hearing that and he jolted on his feet immediately running to unlock the door.

After getting to realize the whereabouts of the prison and ways out, Daniel made his way all the way from a forest outside of New York into the city just to make some findings. That's why he was dressed in what seems like a camouflage to him, shading hinself from the eyes of humanity just to avoid been seen by slightly, a kid.During the days of his fame and popularity, Daniel is by far one of the most recognised men on the planet with identity so great than the government themselves.

The building is impressively enforced with enough technology and science to a bizarre level one would compare it to be magical. Surrounding most of the landscape was a forest, either ways called a jungle with enough armed and genius security guards dressed mostly in suits and others dressed in Black jackets and trousers. There was a wide road that lapped through the island creating a one way panel into the manor deep within.

Matter of fact, he was effectively ready for Dean's next move ahead of time.As Dean drove forward like a launched missile, his stepping feet fluctuated causing a stain.
