Elena was still so worried about how she was able to recognize her so easily, even though she had disguised her look.She was more worried about the fact that Sarah had found her in that current situation. She knew what Sarah was made of - Sarah was the talkative type and also had a loose tongue.Unfortunately for her, she was the type whose lies were usually more than her truths.Elena remembered that she had once told her that she was a regular customer of Cicada Hotel, then she asked her, "Why aren't you inside?"Sarah's composure changed instantly as she asked the question, and she began to feel uncomfortable. She never thought that Elena's worries could give her the chance to remember such a question.Without stressing too long, Sarah replied, "You can see that the entrance is quite crowded, so I couldn't get the opportunity to go inside.""Oh, I see," Elena said, playing along with her as though the main entrance of the hotel was truly crowded.Even though the party was a VVIP d
On the rooftop of the Cicada Hotel, the atmosphere remained elegant and looked so relaxed. It was already getting late, and the party was already coming to an end.Some of the guests were mingling with each other, having business-related talks and other interesting discussions.There were some guests taking pictures of the beautiful moment to keep the memories forever in their hearts.Then Mr. Greg walked up to the stage, feeling so fulfilled. He felt so elated that all the guests had a nice time and had enough fun too.But there was one thing remaining, one of the things that made Mr. Greg so passionate about this party and put all his effort into it.What was that? The arrival of the top VVIP customer of the hotel.Mr. Greg had been feeling so bothered that his special guest hadn't arrived. He remembered that he had agreed to visit the party; why he hadn't arrived at that time was getting him so worried.Then, while on the stage, Mr. Greg called the attention of the attendees as he
The next day began with jaw-dropping news, spreading across the city. The news was about Mr. Steven Huge and the armed robbers who were arrested on St. Paul's street.The news stated that Mr. Huge had a collaboration with the armed robbers in one way or another.Even though the armed robbers never confessed who their boss was to the police, this news broke out of nowhere and spread across Glover City.The news got to David too, and he felt a bit pleased with it. However, he expected such news to be appropriately announced through the police force's official pages and not incomplete mouth-to-ear information spreading around the city.Whatever way, the news is out already, and it's likely progress towards David's revenge journey.Just then, he began to ponder about who the people behind such a secretive matter were, spreading the information around the city so easily.Having a deep thought about it, he remembered some unexpected news had spread across the city about himself too. It wasn'
David remained startled, staring at the article over and over in his utmost shock. At that moment, his brain went so blank that he couldn't think of a thing.He was bewildered and was at a loss for words. He didn't notice that his mouth was wide open in shock, not until saliva dripped out of his mouth onto the screen of his phone.Quickly, he sucked in a cold breath, trying to bring himself back to life. The article still felt like a dream to him.Returning to reality, he exclaimed in confusion, "This is the peak of it, because what?!"David scrolled down through the article without reading a single sentence from it. The heading of the article alone had made him drown in total stupefaction.Then, he began to think deeply about who might be behind all these unexpected articles. Unfortunately, he couldn't arrive at any conclusion.He believed whoever was putting out the article must be up to something. With the look of things, the person knew about all the incidents that had happened to
Since the unexpected and shocking news spread across the city, the police force had begun their investigation immediately.Even though the police were still investigating who the boss of the armed robbers in their custody was, the very alarming news hit them again.Irrespective of the fact that Mr. Huge was a big name in Glover City and was also an underling in the underworld, the police had to proceed with their investigation.There had always been so many bad reviews about his company right from the start, and again, there was mouth-to-ear news about him recently regarding his alleged collaboration with the armed robbers in police custody.Despite all these allegations about Mr. Huge, the police still had to make a thorough investigation to find out the whole truth, as there wasn't any concrete evidence that proved him guilty.Mr. Huge had spent years in his business, so he was very good at saving himself from suspicious acts or traces that might tarnish his name.For that, the poli
Returning to the old sitting room, two of Snake's boys held the two guys at their napes, turning their faces to the floor. David was already in the sitting room too, and then he ordered, "Pin their faces to the floor!" The boys pinned their heads down more to the floor while David walked past them. He headed to the two rooms and surveyed around in a few minutes. Shortly, he returned to the sitting room, standing behind the two guys. With a few minutes of survey, he was able to confirm that he was at the right place. "Free their necks!" David ordered. Immediately, the boys freed them and moved backward, and David moved closer to Snake and whispered in his ear. Then he and his boys gently exited the sitting room, waiting for David outside. As soon as they left, David turned around to the two guys whose heads remained pinned to the floor. They were shivering and trembling with utmost shock. It was as though they had a gun pointed at their heads. David wondered why they wer
David wasn't out of a state of stupefaction at the disclosure. He had never once thought that anyone knew about the information Gerald had just disclosed.He had always thought that the only person who knew about the incident, apart from him, was the guy who threw him over the fence. Hearing this from Gerald now proved his thought wrong.With the information he heard now, it already proved that they were the ones pulling out the articles.As for Gideon, he wasn't still convinced by the narration. What would someone who was buoyant enough to gift him $15,000 be doing in Huge's custody?It didn't even end there; he was also humiliated to an unbelievable extent.Gideon needed more explanation; he was staring at David, waiting for him to say something about it.In between the puzzlement, David asked Gerald, "How did you find out about this?"He sighed as he began, "I know that you might not recognize me at Huge's custody, but I was once a victim trapped under their cruelty too.""On that
Gerald cleared his throat as he began to explain, "Some months ago, our mother was diagnosed with a kidney problem, and we were charged the sum of $300,000 for her treatment at the hospital."A deep sigh echoed in the room."Unfortunately, we couldn't afford the fee we were charged, as I was only a newly graduated student, while Gideon worked as a cab driver.""Pathetically, we were not born with a silver spoon, so we didn't have any inheritance that we could sell to have enough money to pay the bill. Neither do we have a family member who could help us out.""The only property our father left for us before he died was this house. For that, we had to come up with an idea.""We love our mother so dearly that we couldn't afford to lose her. Then, we came up with the idea to take a loan from Mr. Huge."David's eyes went so gentle in pity as he was listening to the heartbreaking story."We loaned the $300,000 for the treatment, while I was the guarantor at Huge's company. Unfortunately, a
