Before Leader Billy could finish his words, a cool male's voice was heard.

"Wait!" Scott spoke as he raised his right hand confidently, and all eyes turned to face him in astonishment. "How about $17,000,000?" Scott questioned with a cold look on his face.

All heads turned to face Scott after hearing the words he just said, even Ramous Stormbreaker shifted his gaze towards him in disbelief.

While glancing at Scott, they all had a puzzled expression on their faces after catching a glimpse of him and failing to recognize him.

When Scott walked into the meeting hall earlier with Mr Fernando, no one paid any attention to him since all their attentions were fixed on Mr Fernando beside him, so they had no idea who he came with or who he was entirely.

His face just doesn't ring a bell.

"I'm sorry, who are you again?" Billy questioned.

"I am Scott Carden." Scott introduced in an audible tone, causing the whole crowd to become more confused.

They have never heard of a name like that, and fo

    "Scott, would you like to continue, or should we sell to Ramous?" Billy turned to face Scott who still stood there with his hands tucked in his pockets, and a confident look still evident on his face."Let me see you try offering something higher than what I just offered, Scott." Ramous Stormbreaker smirked right where he stood, and his gaze fixed on Scott.The whole crowd waited in anticipation of what Scott's final decision would be and if he would be capable of keeping it going.Scott took is hands out of his pocket and straightened his crimson T-SHIRT before responding."Thirty million dollars!" Scott spoke in a resounding tone that echoed throughout the hall. The whole jaws in the hall dropped to the floor, including that of Ramous after they all heard the words of Scott Carden."T-thirty million?" Billy blurted out in disbelief."Yes, sir. I am willing to pay thirty million for that heirloom, unless Ramous here has a higher offer for it." Scott responded with a smirk as he shift

    "I will be offering $50,000,000 for the heirloom!" Scott announced audibly, and Ramous Stormbreaker staggered backwards a bit out of shock and almost lost his balance.This time around, the whole hall became silent as Scott's words caught everyone off guard. They had thought Ramous Stormbreaker was the winner after he offered 35 million dollars since they all concluded that Scott wasn't the type of man who could afford such an amount based on his looks and young age. But to their greatest surprise, he didn't just offered something higher, but something far from what Ramous had offered. 50 million dollars.For him to be able to splash such an amount like that, meaning he was indeed loaded, and 50 million was just a drop in the bucket compared to what he had."This guy...curse you Scott Carden..curse you Fernando." Ramous Stormbreaker clenched his teeth as he glared at Scott in anger. His whole suit now drenched in his own sweat as he contemplated on just how he should get out of the s

    Somewhere else in the city...The highway was dark and empty. The sounds of frogs croaking could be heard from the sides since it was already midnight, and no one or any vehicle could be seen moving around.VROOOOMMM!!!The sound of vehicle driving at full speed resounded throughout the highway as a cop car drove through it. A man was seated inside the car, his right hand holding the wheels and his left hand making a phone call."Pick the fuck up, Robby." Chief Jim lamented as he kept driving forward, heading towards Robby's college.Part of the plan tonight was for Chief Jim to head to the college and see if Robby was there,and also keep an eye on him till day break. If he should arrive in Robby's college and he didn't find him in his dorm room,and the gang Hunter was later seen in the annual gang meeting, then Robby was most likely the Hunter.After all, a dagger was already found I his backpack, that was enough evidence, but they still wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt.A

    "Chief Jim,what are you doing here by this hour?" The headmistress questioned while buttoning her cloth, and a nervous expression evident on her face. Chief Jim ignored her question as he shifted his gaze towards the naked man that hid behind the desk.Chief Jim glanced at the man for a few seconds before he finally muttered, "I am sorry for interrupting you guys.""Ah, no, it's fine. Kent was just leaving." The headmistress responded with a nervous smile before shifting her gaze towards the man and gave him an eye signal. Receiving the signal, the man picked up his black suit and ran out of office."Isn't that the Vice Mayor?" Chief Jim questioned with a puzzled expression."Y-yes, he's the one." She stuttered nervously.Chief Jim glanced at her in bewilderment after hearing her response. Vice Mayor Kent has three wives at home and six children,and yet he's still secretly making out with the Headmistress.Chief Jim could see the nervous look on the Headmistress's face and could unde

    Chief Jim ran forward for several more minutes, until he finally arrived in the hospital and rushed inside quickly. The hospital was almost deserted, and only a few nurse's could be seen walking around here and there. Chief Jim made his way towards the receptionist sitting behind a desk."Good morning." Chief Jim greeted."Good morning, Chief. How may I help you?" The lady questioned."I was informed that my son was brought in here earlier for treatments." Chief Jim replied."Your son? What's his name?" The lady inquired as she opened her register and began to flip the pages."His name is Robby Vasquez. He was stabbed earlier and rushed in here." Chief Jim informed."Oh, that's your son? He is currently undergoing a surgery in ward 25." She announced."A surgery? Is the injury that serious?" Chief Jim blurted out in shock, and his heart racing non-stop as he felt restless."I ain't the doctor. But based on what I heard, the dagger went quite dip into his belly and also pierced some of

    "Do you have a minute, Mr Leeray?" Mr Fernando questioned as he walked towards them. Hearing the words of Mr Fernando, Mr Leeray and Ice shifted their gazes towards him,and after he caught a glimpse of Mr Fernando's face, he remembered what Miguel told him."Now I remember. He said he was going to attend a wedding at your place, Fernando." Mr Leeray spoke, glaring at Mr Fernando as he puffed out smoke.Mr Fernando went mute after hearing the words of Mr Leeray, and he contemplated on just how he should break the news to him."Mr Malcolm Fernando, is everything okay?" Ice who stood beside Mr Leeray raised a question."Y-yes, I am okay." Mr Fernando responded, his face already filled with his sweat and his heart racing."As I was saying. Miguel told me earlier that he was headed to your place to attend some wedding, and since then he hasn't returned. Any idea of what might have happened? Why he is yet to return?" Mr Leery inquired in a calm tone as he blew out another cloud of smoke fro

    Mr Fernando picked himself up and walked back into the hall and headed to his seat. He straightened his suit before sitting down beside Scott who had his gaze fixed on him, waiting for an explanation on how it went with Mr Leeray."So, how did it go, sir?" Scott inquired calmly."At least I'm still alive, that's all that matters for now." Mr Fernando responded."He believed your words and would go after Ramous instead of you?" Scott inquired."I am not sure yet. With the way he reacted I doubt if he believed a single word of mine. He said he would talk to Ramous after the meeting is over, but I doubt if that's going to change anything. I'm fucked, Scott, and it's all because of that bastard." Mr Fernando uttered as he leaned his head down and grabbed his head."Don't say that yet when it's still far from over. Besides, he said he would approach Ramous, right? There's no way Ramous would lie when a man like Mr Leeray questions him, and if he denies it there would be enough witness agai

Dawn walked through the hallway while shifting her gaze around, and after walking for a few minutes, she finally arrived in front of the room.She took a deep breath in and out before pushing the door open and walked inside. Entering the room, Dawn was expecting everyone to glare at her, question her, and even call the security, so she was fully prepared for all that.But that didn't seem to be the case. Even though she just walked inside unannounced, no one spared her a glance and all their gazes were glued to the monitor like robots.The room was quite vast and spacious, several chairs arranged in two neat rolls with a computer stationed in front, and the seats were occupied by workers who surveyed the whole area.Dawn shifted her gaze to her left hand side and caught sight of the uni

    Hearing the words of Chief Jim, Perez’s eyes widened, and his expression was a mixture of surprise and disbelief.“What in the world are you talking about, Chief?!” Perez blurted out in disbelief.“Sshhh… keep your voice down,” Chief Jim hushed, and Perez swiftly covered his mouth with both hands.“What in the world are you talking about, Chief?” he repeated his question, but this time in a hushed tone.“You heard me right, Perez. I’m breaking you all out of there,” Chief Jim affirmed.“What? How? How are you even going to do that?” Perez questioned.“I have a plan already. Don’t worry about that,” Chief Jim responded. “I just came here to fill you in and tell you to get yourselves ready.”“Okay, but why do you want to do it? Why are you so eager to get us out of here? I have a feeling it’s not because you don’t like seeing us behind bars,” Perez questioned.Chief Jim sighed heavily, then leaned his hands on the table. “The last time I came here to visit you, I told you Jordan was the

    Scott and Ali made their way out of the quiet area, and a few moments later, they found themselves back in the bustling streets of Busan. They both glanced around until they spotted a taxi waiting for passengers, and without any delay, they swiftly headed toward it."Where are you headed?" the man inquired in Korean."To the Gimhae International Airport," Scott informed audibly in the man’s language.The man glared at them from head to toe, his expression a mixture of confusion and disgust. The two men in front of him were currently clad in drenched clothes, and water was literally dripping from them. They weren’t even carrying any traveling bags."Is this some sort of prank or something?" he asked with a frown."No, sir. Don’t pay attention to our appearance—just take us to where I told you," Scott bellowed, pulling out a few notes and handing them over to the man.The man retrieved the cash and examined it with a huge grin on his face. The money Scott had just given him was a lot mo

    "The charges for using our machine is all of the money you just withdrew. And when I say all, I mean every single penny," the skinny man ordered, a mischievous grin evident on his face.Scott stood there in silence, his gaze fixated on the man, trying to figure out if he was joking or not. He waited for the man to chuckle and say it was a joke—but that never happened.This man in front of him wasn't joking.He was dead serious.He meant every word he said.Every single one of them.Scott cleared his throat and responded, "That's not gonna happen."The man's eyes widened slightly in shock after hearing those words. "What did you just say?" he blurted out."I said that's not gonna happen. I'm gonna give you a few cash, and that's it," Scott bellowed, pulling out three bundles from his pocket. The cash was in South Korea's currency, but if it were dollars, it would be at least $150,000.The skinny man glanced at the money as Scott stretched it forward. Then he turned to glance at his com

    Scott and the Arabic man walked down the deserted alleyway, making their way towards the area where they could hear the voices of people and the sounds of vehicles. Their clothes were completely drenched, but right now, that was the least of their worries. They had no idea where they had landed, and they were trying to figure it out.Scott pulled out his phone from his pocket and glanced at it. The phone was also drenched, but luckily, it was waterproof and hadn’t been damaged by the water. He switched it on while walking forward, his other hand casually tucked in his pocket."You don’t have any idea where we are, right?" the Arabic man inquired, breaking the silence."You keep asking me this exact question every two seconds," Scott muttered. "We both landed in the same ocean at the same time... how do you expect me to know the city or country we crashed in?" he added."I’m just a bit nervous," the man stuttered, his arms folded as he advanced forward.Scott shifted his gaze toward hi

  • Where are we?

    The jet hit the ocean with a violent crash, a massive splash erupting into the air as it made contact with the water’s surface. It was as if the sky itself had hurled a stone into a glassy pool. Water exploded in every direction.For a few tense seconds, the damaged aircraft floated unsteadily on the churning waves, bobbing like a wounded beast, groaning under its own weight. Then, slowly, the nose began to dip, and the jet started its final descent beneath the surface.Inside the cockpit, the dim emergency lights flickered against the rising gloom. Scott remained motionless in the pilot’s seat, his hands still clamped around the yoke as though frozen in time.Every muscle in his body trembled with fatigue and shock, and his breath came out in short, sharp bursts. Beads of cold sweat slid down his temples and jawline.Beside him, the Arabic man remained in the co-pilot seat, his eyes shut tightly as if bracing for the final impact that never came. His chest rose and fell rapidly, but

    Sullivan stood frozen in place after hearing Scott’s words—like a statue carved from fear and sweat. The black parachute bag was clenched tightly in both hands.“No… You can’t do that. That’s suicide.” Sullivan finally muttered, his voice trembling. “Let me do it instead. You get out of here.”Scott turned to him slowly, the roar of the wind outside now creeping through the fuselage like the cold fingers of death. He rested both hands on Sullivan’s shoulders, firm but gentle.“You asked about the rest of the men earlier,” Scott said, his voice lower now, almost lost in the chaos around them. “You want to know why they aren’t here with me?”Sullivan stared into his boss’s eyes, his lips parting slightly, as if dreading the answer.“They’re all dead,” Scott continued. “Every single one. I can't afford to lose another comrade.”He gave Sullivan a solid pat on the shoulder, gripping him tighter. “So stop arguing and do as I say.”Sullivan swallowed hard, emotions swelling in his chest.

    "You and I need to have a little chat before I kill you," Scott growled coldly, his gun firmly aimed at the man’s forehead.The muscular man knelt on the floor, his palm still clutching his bleeding arm, blood seeping through his fingers and dripping onto the polished metal beneath him. His face was flushed—red not just from rage, but from the searing pain radiating through his shoulder.He wanted nothing more than to leap forward and tear Scott apart, but the barrel of the gun inches from his face made that fantasy suicidal. One wrong move and Scott would blow his brains out without hesitation. No, the only card left to play now was cooperation."You're going to answer my questions," Scott said, voice as icy as a winter gale. "Every time you disobey or refuse, I'll put a bullet in a different part of your body until you bleed out and die."The man simply shrugged, grimacing in pain, but said nothing."Who are you people? And why the hell are you after me?" Scott demanded."I'm sure y

    Scott sat in the jet, wiping the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand. His breathing, which had been erratic just moments earlier, was finally beginning to stabilize. He leaned back in the seat, trying to regain composure.A moment later, the door to the cockpit slid open with a soft hiss, and Sullivan stepped out. His expression was etched with confusion and lingering shock from the attack."What the hell was that all about, boss? Who were those guys?" he asked, his voice low and cautious, still processing the chaos they had just escaped.Scott didn’t respond immediately. He let out a deep sigh, his eyes briefly closing as he ran a hand down his face."It’s a long story, and now’s not the time to tell it," he said calmly, keeping his tone composed. "Just focus on flying the jet."Sullivan nodded slowly but wasn’t entirely satisfied. “Alright, but… how do we know nothing critical got damaged? I mean, they shot at us like maniacs. What if they hit something vital?”Scott t

    Scott dropped into a seat beside the window and leaned his head against the cool glass. His eyes wandered outside, taking in the eerie stillness of the tarmac... until something abruptly caught his attention.Two black vehicles were speeding toward the private jet, closing in with alarming urgency. His eyes widened slightly as the cars tore across the asphalt and came to a sudden, screeching halt. Without hesitation, all four doors on each vehicle flung open simultaneously, and eight men emerged—each of them heavily armed.Without warning, they cocked their rifles and pointed them directly at the jet.Then all hell broke loose.BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!A deafening barrage of gunfire erupted, echoing across the open space. Scott instinctively ducked, throwing himself low and pressing against the floor. The sound of bullets tearing into the fuselage rang out like thunder.He sprang to his feet and bolted toward the cockpit, heart pounding. He shoved the cockpit door open and found Sulliv
