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
