Rohan grins and opens the case. Inside are stacks of hundred-dollar bills. “It’s more than enough, Irving.”
“Here,” he says. “James, also give you a plane ticket to get out of the country.”
“To keep track of me?” Rohan smirks. “I don’t think that’s needed.”
“He just wants to make sure.”
Rohan whistles. “But I think you will soon ask for my help.”
Irving stares at him. “What do you mean?”
A cruel look appears on Rohan’s face. “Be careful dealing with the elites, Irving. They are people you won’t be able to handle.”
“I can handle James just fine.”
Rohan guffaws. “If you say so, be happy with your partner.”
“And good luck with your plans,” Irving says before walking away.
Rohan waves at him. He has already planned his next move. He needs to take care of some other people first. And soon, he will have the first laugh.
****************
The morning is chilly, but it doesn’t bother Rohan much. Kyndra said that instead of dirtying his hands, letting other people do it is better. The thought made him laugh as he walks towards the park. Who would have thought that he will change this much after that close brush with death?
And so Rohan stays under the tree and waits. As he was researching James Yu, he discovered that no one hates James, but there are a lot who hate his mother. So much that to hurt her, they would like to hurt James as well.
After waiting for almost half an hour, he sees someone approaching. It is a woman wearing a black coat and matching pants. Her hair is tied into a ponytail, and she is wearing a pair of eyeglasses. She looks young and innocent, but something about her makes him believe otherwise.
“Hello,” he greets her. “You are Hera?” he asks. It sounds like a pseudonym.
She nods. “Yes, I am.” She looks around to see if someone is listening. “You have some information about Alice Yu for me?”
“Yes.” Rohan pulls out the envelope from his coat pocket and hands it to her. “That’s everything I found out about James Yu. Alice Yu’s only son.”
“I don’t need any information about Alice Yu’s son. That old woman is a monster. Do you think he will care about her gay child?!”
“James is her son, no matter what his sexual preference is.”
She grimaces. “Seems like you are new to this vengeance against the Yu’s.”
She is correct. However, Rohan’s target is not just the Yu’s. And so far, he is achieving results compared to these people who hated these families for a long time.
She scans through the pages quickly. “This is good work. I can use this,” she says.
Rohan smirks at her. “And? We talked that you are going to pay me for the information.”
She gives him a glare. “I’m not paying you anything until I confirm this information is true.”
Rohan chuckles. “Then hand it back to me.”
“No. You are lucky I decided to meet you in person,” Hera says. “Do you know why?”
Rohan tilts his head slightly. “Because you had no choice?”
She scoffs. “I can easily kill you now.” She takes out a knife from her pocket and points it at Rohan.
Rohan doesn’t flinch or show any fear. Instead, he guffaws. When his laughter subsides, he responds, “Is that so? You want to kill me now?“
“Yes,” she growls. “To keep your mouth shut.”
“In that way, you will lose your only information broker.”
“An expensive information broker.”
Rohan shrugs his shoulders. Then, he suddenly moves towards her. He places both his hands on her chest and pushes her backward. Before she falls, he grabs her knife and throws it aside. Hera grunts and struggles to stand again.
“Don’t bother, Hera. I am a personal trainer. And one of our physical activities is self-defense and other forms of combat.”
She tries to kick him, but he dodges them all. He uses his legs to push her down and punches her hard on her jaw. She groans. Rohan kneels beside her and smiles at her. “Do you still want to kill me?”
She glares at him. “I should have brought a gun,” she hisses.
“You are not very good at this, are you? How many years have you hated Alice Yu?”
She spits at him. “You think I’m afraid of you?”
“I don’t know, but I need the money.”
Hera stares at him with hateful eyes. Rohan gropes her body and searches for any valuable things. Only a cell phone, wallet, and a watch.
“What do you think you are doing?!”
“Is this all you have?”
“You bastard! You...” She struggles against him. Thankfully, no one’s around yet.
Rohan laughs. “You are playing a difficult game, Hera. However, the next time you ask for information, be aware that I will take a bit more from you.”
He stands up and leaves her there. Rohan thinks she will rush after him as soon as he steps away. However, she stays sprawled on the ground, looking daggers at him.

The TV blares in the background while Rohan prepares his food and beer. He sits on the couch and watches the news. The anchorperson reports how the police discovered that James Yu died of a steroid overdose. Prolonged usage has made James healthy on the outside, but unhealthy and weak on the inside. “James Yu. The sole heir of the Yu dynasty died today,” the anchor said. “It will be remembered that James Yu has a problem with—” A knock comes on the door. Rohan smirks. Just about time. Hera did a good job, huh? He stands up from the couch and opens the door, revealing a distraught Irving. “They will kill me,” he greets. “I guess it’s not a good day for you?” He glances at the TV. “You already know.” “As you can hear.” Rohan opens the door wider for him. “Come in.” Irving enters the house and looks around. “I am glad you are still here.” “Why are you here, Irving?” “I need money to get out of the country.” “Why? You have James Yu’s fortune.” “If he is alive! But if he’s dead,

Two men enter the bedroom, breaking the door open. They point their guns at Rohan, who quickly grabs his pistol and points it at them, too. One of them smiles. “So you are the helper.” He pulls out a knife from his pocket and throws it at Rohan’s chest. He tries to evade, but the blade pierces through his shirt and the first layer of skin. He falls back onto the bed, clutching his shallow wound. Still, a trickle of blood gushes out from it. “You should’ve lived your life peacefully,” one of them snarls. Rohan looks at him with contempt. He did try, and what did that do to him? He became a slave to the Waltons. Worse, they took his inheritance from him, and they even attempted to take his life! So, this pain is nothing! “Where is Irving?” Rohan asks instead. “That half of a human will die today. We are—” To surprise them, he aims his gun at them and fires several shots before allowing them to finish speaking. One of them gets shot and collapses on the floor, bleeding heavily. Anot

Besides, Rosalyn Rugge will be among the judges.And so, Rohan sits with the other hopefuls. Like him, they all look good. He is lost in thought that he almost misses it when his name is called. He quickly makes his way to the stage and greets the judges.“Mr. Hansel Crago, you are not wearing the assigned clothes,” one judge says. “Go and change your clothes. You should be in boxers.”“Oh, I am sorry. I didn’t know.”Of course, Rohan knows that. He needs it just so the judges will remember him, even if it’s the ugly type of being noticed. Besides, he will be Hansel Crago for only a while.One judge groans, “Then just leave

It is the night of the party, and as soon as Rohan steps into the room, he immediately senses the tension in the air. He glances around, noticing that the faces of the models are drawn and tight with anxiety. As he surveys the room, he pauses. A tingling sensation goes up his spine. Something is wrong, and it is definitely outside his plan.He walks towards Rosalyn, and she reaches out to him. “Welcome to your first Rugge’s party, Hansel.”“It is my pleasure, ma’am,” he answers.“Come, sit here beside me,” she offers.And Rohan did. “You will stay a little longer tonight, right?” she asks, which Rohan answers with a nod.They talk about modeling and pointers on how to improve. However, Rohan can’t help but look around. Something is amiss, and it is making him uneasy.Suddenly, a loud crash breaks the silence and everyone in the room jump.

“Let me take you home,” Rohan offers to Rosalyn when they are about to leave the chaos in the building. Rosalyn interlaces her arms in his and he smiles at her. She is his target, and she doesn’t even know the things he plans for her. Dashing out of the street, he grabs Rosalyn’s hand and makes his way to the parked car. It is a Range Rover, something that will not interest Rosalyn. However, when they enter, she realizes that it is customized, from the seats to the entertainment and even the hood. Before she can say anything, Rohan asks, “It may be insensitive of me, but may I know where your house is?” After saying her address, she settles on the seat. She seems so relaxed and harmless. No one would know that she’s previously one of the Ten Elites. She enjoyed her time there and even now, she gives massive support to them–as Kyndra had told him before. Maybe, instead of her house, Rohan can bring her somewhere he can kill her? No! He shakes his head. He is not a murderer like that

She glides across the dance floor, mesmerizing those who watch.If Rohan did not know better, her beauty and style could have transfixed him, like all the other men and women around them.“Are you just going to stand there and watch?” she asks, her voice soft and gentle as a summer breeze. “Come,” she invites, extending her hand to his.Rohan takes her hand and follows her movements.“That’s it,” she says. She guides him, her hands never leaving his body, and he knows she’s starting with her seduction.At the chorus of the song, she steps closer to him and presses her body to him. “By the way, my name is Simone.

From what Rohan learned, Simone had been living and jumping from one foster family to the next, until she was of age and could take jobs. “Here we are,” Rohan announces. The car pulls into the driveway of Rosalyn’s house. Since it’s daytime, he can easily see the luxurious mansion and its well-manicured garden. Rohan watches as Simone’s eyes widen while she takes in the beauty and grandeur of the place. The Rugge’s mansion is definitely better than his. “Lovely place, right?” he asks, smiling at her. She clears her throat before saying, “What are we doing here, Hansel?” “Like I said last night, you will take a modeling career.” “Like you? So we will be colleagues who fuck each other?” “We will become colleagues, but we will not fuck each other.” She groans before asking, “Why would I take a modeling career? That’s just a hassle,” as she looks over the Rugge’s mansion. “I want you to bond with her. This is your chance to have a better life, Simone,” he says. “You are the one w

Do you have any more witnesses or evidence to present on behalf of your client?”Gertrude’s lawyer shakes his head, knowing that there is no way to defend against the overwhelming evidence presented by Rohan and his team.The prosecutor steps forward confidently. “Your honor, we have shown with irrefutable evidence that Ms. Gertrude is involved in various illegal activities.

After a while, Tyrianne comes out of her room wearing a skimpy outfit. “Oh, I didn’t know you were awake,” she comments, lowering down the volume of the television. “Who could sleep with that kind of noise?!” he snaps, straightening from the sofa. She chuckles, unaffected by his irritation. “We might have a little too much fun.” “A little?” Rohan’s voice rises in disbelief. “That was not a little. You two were practically screaming your lungs out!” Tyrianne just shrugs nonchalantly. “Well, we can’t help it if we enjoy each other’s company,” she smirks. Rohan rolls his eyes and huffs in annoyance. “I swear, you two have no sense of decency.” “Decency?” Tyrianne repeats, raising an eyebrow at him. “You’re one to talk about decency when you are watching TV at such a loud volume.” He gives her a pointed look before turning back to the TV. He doesn’t want to admit that he was trying to drown out the scandalous sounds coming from her room. She walks over and sits beside him on the co

They spend the rest of the evening coming up with a plan to gather evidence against Gertrude. They decide that Douglas will sneak into her office during business hours and retrieve any incriminating documents or emails from her computer. The following day, Rohan watches from a safe distance as Douglas makes his move. He sees him looking around before slipping inside Gertrude’s office. Rohan can feel his heart racing with anticipation, knowing that this could make or break their case against Gertrude. Inside the office, Douglas quickly moves towards Gertrude’s computer and begins typing furiously. Rohan can see that he is nervous, but determined, as he sifts through files and folders on the computer. Then, there is a loud noise outside the office and Douglas freezes, looking around frantically for a place to hide. The door swings open, revealing Gertrude herself. Douglas hides behind the desk before Gertrude can see him. But as she heads straight for the desk, Rohan holds his breath

Rohan adjusts his tailored tuxedo jacket and straightens his silk tie as he enters the grand ballroom. “You look stunning,” he whispers to his partner, Tyrianne, as they make their way through the lavish crowd. “Thank you, darling,” Tyrianne replies with a smug grin, flaunting her designer gown that hugs her curves perfectly. “I can’t believe we blended in so well with these wealthy elites,” he chuckles, scanning the room for their target. “But I have a feeling Gertrude will stand out like a sore thumb.” Tyrianne mumbles something, her eyes already searching for their target. Rohan mimics her. They are using crystal glasses and extravagant decorations. There is also a huge chandelier above, which gives off a more opulent atmosphere that matches Gertrude’s persona. “She loves to show off her wealth and power? I guess this is a great place to do it.” As they carefully navigate through the throngs of people, Rohan and Tyrianne keep up a steady stream of discreet conversation, keepi

Chapter 072 - SafeHouse Interrogation
Rohan and Tyrianne quickly make their way towards their safe-house, the injured mercenary slung over Rohan’s shoulder. They have no time to waste, as they need answers from this man before he succumbs to his wounds. As they enter the safe-house, Rohan sets the injured man down in a chair while Tyrianne begins to prepare for the interrogation. She brings out various tools, including ropes and knives, that she knows will be effective in getting information out of someone. She also prepares medicines and bandages — another path for the mercenary if he chooses to cooperate. When the mercenary wakes up, he struggles weakly against his restraints as Rohan takes a seat across from him. His eyes flicker with fear and pain, but he remains silent. “Who hired you?” Rohan starts off calmly. The mercenary remains silent, his gaze shifting between Rohan and Tyrianne. “Are you not going to answer?” Tyrianne asks coldly, her fingers daintily touching the different tools setup for him. “I—I can’

Without a moment’s hesitation, Rohan and Tyrianne duck behind the staircase as Jackson starts firing his gun. The bullets ricochet off the walls, sending dust and debris flying in all directions. The two huddle together, trying to come up with a plan. “We need to disarm him,” Rohan whispers, his eyes darting around the area for any possible weapons they can use. Tyrianne nods in agreement. “I’ll create a diversion. You sneak up on him from behind,” she says, before dashing towards the opposite end of the hallway. Jackson’s attention turns towards her, and he starts shooting in her direction. Meanwhile, Rohan takes advantage of the distraction and stealthily moves towards him. Just as Jackson turns around, Rohan tackles him to the ground, sending both of them tumbling down the stairs. The impact knocks the wind out of Rohan, and he struggles to maintain his grip on Jackson’s gun. They wrestle on the floor. He can feel his muscles straining from the effort. “You think you can take m

Rohan and Tyrianne sit across from each other in a dimly lit room, sharing breakfast and visibly shaken. Dust fills the air and the slivers of light that sneak in from the outside illuminate the room. He shifts his gaze to her, and like him, her face is pale and drawn. He can see the worry in her expression, the same as what he is feeling now. Tyrianne breaks the silence. “How could it have been so easy?” Her voice is barely audible and there is a tremble in her voice as she speaks. Rohan shakes his head. “I don’t know,” he admits. “Do you think it’s a trap?” “But we’re still alive.” “A delayed trap, perhaps?” Still, Rohan feels like someone is laughing at him–as if he is being played around. “How safe is this place?” she asks. “You’re the only person who knows this place.” “I’m worried about my kids in the orphanage.” “I don’t think they would massacre them.” “Rohan!” she scolds, and she might not have noticed herself, but she just called him by his name. “Should I apolog

There are two places that Pablo has mentioned to Rohan where they can look for more evidence. One is in a mansion, the other one is in a derelict warehouse looming before them.“Why did Pablo even think that this warehouse has evidence?” Rohan asks as he walks inside.This place is more than abandoned. Shadows dance through the shattered windows as he and Tyrianne pick their way carefully over the debris on the floor.“He did say that Gertrude’s allies are using this place to store incriminating documents.”“Without a guard?”“We’re not yet sure of that,” she answers.Rohan keeps quiet as they delve deeper into the crumbling building.“Over here,” Tyrianne calls softly, her flashlight illuminating a stack of dusty file boxes tucked away in a corner.Rohan joins her, his pulse quickening as he opens the first box. “Look at this,” he murmurs

The following weeks are a flurry of activities. They set their plans in motion. Rohan and Pablo help gather evidence against Gertrude, while Tyrianne snakes her way into infiltrating Gertrude’s inner circle. Although, Tyrianne looks all harmless, innocent, and sincere—it belies the fact that she can ensnare anyone within her traps.The door opens, and Tyrianne comes into his office. She is wearing a purple dress that reaches half her thighs. Her hair is up in a lovely bun and her heels are at least five inches high.Sitting on a couch, she removes her heels and starts to massage her feet.“Gertrude Mendoza has her fingers in a lot of pies,” Rohan informs her.“Right,” she says. Clearly tired and annoyed by the recent social event she had just attended.“How’s everything on your side?”“Bad. I didn’t see Clint at all. No one from Gertrude’s side attended the event too.”“A waste for the get-up?”“What?” she asks, frowning.“Well, you look pretty in that dress,” he comments, almost trip
