"You mean I was asleep for two days?!" Scott blurted out in shock.

"Yes, Scott. You got all of us worried including your wife, Caroline. I'm really glad you are awake and well." Mr. Fernando remarked.

Scot sat there in silence after hearing the words of Mr. Fernando. He was supposed to gave a meeting with Jordan and Chief Jim a day after his wedding, however, now that he was in coma for days, he has missed the meeting and he couldn't imagine how they would be feeling right now.

"A lot has happened in those two days you were asleep. Caroline's name has been signed under my properties, meaning she would be the one to inherit everything if I pass away. Also, Ice informed us that Mr. Leeray's amunition and weapons shipment has been postponed till Saturday which is in three days time. So we all need to be ready until then." Mr. Fernando informed in a calm tone, and Scott responded with a nod.

Caroline already got what she wanted, now she has no use for Scott.

    Esmeralda froze after hearing the words of the Hunter, and her heart skipped a beat.Chief Jim noticed the frightful expression on her face and decided to raise a question."What's the matter? Who's that?" Esmeralda shifted her gaze towards him and whispered."The Hunter." Chief Jim's eyes widened in disbelief and he swiftly snatched the phone away from her, "End the broadcast now." He ordered Esmeralda, and before she could take a step forward the Hunter's voice was heard once again."IF YOU TRY TO END THIS LIVE BROADCAST I ALREADY HAVE A FEW OF MY GUYS STATIONED THERE AND THEY WILL SLIT THE THROATS OF YOUR CO-WORKERS." The hunter informed in the same deep and mechanical tone that resembles a robot."What do you want?" Chief Jim questioned."YOU GUYS WERE TALKING ABOUT ME, WEREN'T YOU? DON'T YOU THINK THE MAIN TOPIC OF THE DAY SHOULD BE PRESENT IN THE DISCUSSION?" The Hunter remarked."I WANT YOU TO CONNECT THIS PHONE CALL TO THE SOUNDSYSTEM SO THE WHOLE CITY CAN HEAR ME LOUD AND C

    The sun began to set and the day gradually become dark. The sound of thunder rumbling could be heard and also wind howling. It was obvious rain was about to fall heavily.Scott got off the bed and stretched his body. The pain he felt earlier has reduced and he was now able to move around without any stress.He walked towards the outfit already prepared for him by Mr. Fernando. It was a long black trenchcoat and a black trousers. Without wasting anytime, Scott wore the coat and trousers and began to make his way towards the exit door.He pushed the door open and stepped outside. Arriving outside the room, he caught a glimpse of the same beautiful nurse from earlier walking towards him."What are you doing, Mr. Carden?" The nurse questioned."What do you mean?" Scott responded with a question."Where are you going?" She asked."I'm leaving this place." Scott responded."No, you can't leave. You are still yet to recover fully so please go back inside and rest." The nurse countered."Look

    Blake charged towards Jordan, his face bright red in anger, and when he arrived within striking distance he shoved Jordan to the floor and began to strangle him. "Hey, get off him!" Perez voiced out as he darted forward and pushed Blake off Jordan, making him release his neck. "You all need the calm down! Take a chill pill!" Perez voiced."Calm down?! This guy has been accusing me ever since we got back from the meeting venue. No matter how hard I try to prove my innocence it doesn't seem to work. Why are we the only ones getting suspected? Because we are new? We decided to join you all to stop another gang warfare from happening because the last one destroyed our lives! What other proof do you need!" Blake shouted, anger evident in his voice."If you can suspect us for being new in the team then you should as well suspect yourselves for being old. After all we don't know what you all have been cooking before we joined." Blake added."Relax, man, Jordan is a bit...on the edge. What h

  • Trillionaire they never noticed   Publish

    Scott stepped forward and headed towards the computer. He pulled the chair backwards before sitting down and stretched his fingers."So, this is the image you want me to publish, eh?" Scott questioned."Yeah. The image contains information about Gang lords coming to the fighting arena tomorrow and it would be hosted by them. If people see it, including the hunter, the whole place would be crowded, making it easier for us to blend him and take down the Hunter when he arrives." Jordan responded."All right. I'll publish it on every single social media platforms to make sure it catches the attention of everyone just like you want." Scott remarked as he began to type away with his eyes glued to the screen in front of him.The whole place fell silent as Scott began to work, and the only sound that could be heard was the sound of Scott's fingers hitting the keyboard every now and then.A few minutes passed and Scott was still on it. He had managed to publish it in three different platforms

    Scott stepped into the living room and took off his coat that was drenched and hung it on a hanger by the corner before making his way forward."Good evening, sir." Scott greeted after catching sight of Mr. Fernando sitting across the living room, blowing smoke, and sipping tequila."The doctors finally discharged you?" Mr. Fernando inquired with smoke oozing out of his mouth."Actually they didn't. But I feel fine so I decided to leave the place." Scott responded."I knew you wouldn't just lie in there doing nothing. That's one thing I like about you, you are always determined no matter how tired or injured you might be. During your fight against Harry, after you got stabbed, I thought you would step back and sound and alarm for us to intervene...but no, you still chose to fight your way out of it." Mr. Fernando commented, pride evident in his eyes as he glanced at Scott."I appreciate the kind words, sir. I thought since I was feeling well I should leave the hospital because I might

    Scott glanced at Caroline's face for a few moments after hearing the words she spoke before walking past her with an emotionless look evident on his face."I see. You finally got what you wanted, eh? Your father has finally made you his next of kin." Scott uttered, his expression calm and collected as he walked forward slowly while glancing around the room. "So what's your plan now? Oh, wait, don't tell me. You are going to kill me to make sure I don't spill your secret, and then kill your father to inherit his properties. Eh?" Scott added."That's pretty much it. However, I can't kill my father now because because he currently has a lot of enemies and if I should take over his Empire his enemies will automatically become my enemies. I'll have to wait for him to take care of those enemies before proceeding with my plan." Caroline responded cunningly."You mean proceed to killing him?" Scot chimed in."Yes. Once all his enemies are gone I'll have to kill him to get all his properties."

    The morning sun rose, and the rays flickered into the room and shone brightly into the eyes of Scott, causing him to wake up from his slumber. He got off the bed and stretched his body while yawning.After making sure he was fully awake he went down and completed fifty pushups in the span of five minutes before heading into the bathroom to prepare for work.A few moments later, Scott exited the bathroom and exited the guest room to go get his clothes from Caroline's room. He pushed the door open and stepped inside.Walking into the room, Scott saw Caroline fully dressed and prepared to leave. He paid no attention to her as he walked straight yo his wardrobe to get his clothes and prepare for work."Tonight is the birthday party of Fredrick. He has invited all the affluent families in this city, and our family was among those that was invited. So you will have to come with me tonight." Caroline informed whole applying lipstick to her lips."I'm not interested. I have things to do tonig

    Hearing the words of Jordan,Chief Jim swiftly made his way towards him and glanced at the computer. "Take a look at this. Your name is all over today's headline, chief." Jordan spoke while pointing at the computer screen. Chief Jim took a closer look at the screen and could see protesters carrying banners with his name written boldly on it and some were also holding his photo with an "X" sign on it. "They want me to give up my position as the chief?" Chief Jim blurted out in shock. "But why?" "Probably because of what happened at the Television station. The whole city saw it, Chief. They saw how you just stood there and watched the worker get killed. They are probably putting the blame on you because it is your job to keep them safe." Jordan remarked. "What should I have done? If had attempted something he wild have killed everyone there. Doing nothing was the right thing to do." Chief Jim voiced out with looks of disbelief. "I don't think it's all because of what happened

    Meanwhile… Elsewhere on Scott’s estate…In a quiet, deserted section of the property, four guards sat in a loose circle on wooden chairs, their flashlights clutched in their left hands while their rifles hung over their shoulders. The air was cool and thick with silence, broken only by the occasional rustle of leaves or the chirping of distant insects.They were stationed near the outer boundary of the estate—a less-traveled area that bordered dense woods. "I can't believe boss is back, man." One of the guards said, raising his plastic and sipping the gin he held in his right hand."I can't believe that after all these months he finally returned. Many said he was dead, some said he abandoned the empire because of all the responsibilities. But he's finally back." Another guard spoke up, and a joyful expression evident on his face."I'm really glad he's back. Even though I haven't met him or see him, I know he's a good and generous man. He increases our salary every month back then. No

  • Position

    Scott walked up the staircase, ascending toward his room with slow, deliberate steps. When he reached the door, he paused for a moment before pushing it open. Scott stood silently at the threshold, his eyes sweeping across the space as a distant, unreadable expression settled on his face.The room was exactly as he had left it months ago. Not a single thing seemed out of place. There were no cobwebs in the corners, no dust blanketing the surfaces—clear evidence that the maids had continued tending to it regularly. They must have believed he would one day return, and they had kept it in perfect shape, almost as if time had stopped here."At least he didn't touch my room," Scott murmured to himself, stepping inside and gently closing the door behind him.He moved toward the bed and sat down heavily, leaning his elbows on his knees, his back hunched and his mind consumed with thought. His face remained expressionless, but his eyes told a different story—one of confusion, disappointment,

  • Welcome back, boss!

    Scott ran his fingers through his sleek black hair and paced back and forth on the raised platform. The things he was hearing now were vastly different from how things had been just months ago. It felt like everything had changed completely—as if he had been gone for years—yet it hadn't even been a full year since his departure."You mean Sandro never used the money I sent him to support the companies?" Scott finally questioned, his voice edged with disbelief."No, he didn’t," Kael replied audibly. "Whenever I told him the company was running low on cash, he would say we should manage because you hadn’t been answering your calls. The company was slowly going bankrupt because there was no money to sustain it. That’s why I took those loans.""Sandro?" Scott echoed bitterly. "How could he do this to me? I trusted him.""I don’t think now is the time for you to worry about that, boss. You literally just got back home after months. You should’ve told me you were coming—I would have—""What

  • Everything's changed

    Kael stood motionless on the raised platform, a puzzled expression evident on his face as his eyes locked onto the sleek black car slowly driving onto the green field. The murmuring of the crowd faded into a tense silence as all heads turned to watch the vehicle approach. A thick wave of curiosity and unease swept through them, each person wondering who could possibly be inside.They all recognized the vehicle. It wasn’t just any car—it was a limousine reserved exclusively for the highest-ranking members of the empire. But all known high-ranking figures were already present on the field. The presence of this particular car raised an immediate and unsettling question: who else could it be?Down on the wooden platform, Jude Gallagher remained on his knees, his wrists still bound. He squinted at the advancing limousine, his breath caught in his throat. Then, slowly, a wide grin crept across his bruised face.“He’s… back,” he muttered softly, the words barely a whisper, yet somehow still

  • Public execution

    The sleek black limousine kept driving through the street, and after what seemed like forever, they finally arrived inside an estate. This estate belonged to Scott, and tall mansions could be seen here and there. Scott sat in the car, examining the whole estate through the window."How I've missed this place," he mused with a smile, and the Limo kept driving forward. But Scott noticed something was wrong."Where is everyone?" he asked, raising a brow."They're all at the green field. Kael is going to execute Jude Gallagher today. The man betrayed the empire, and today is the day he will be judged," Jerry responded."Jude Gallagher? The accountant?" Scott questioned."Yes, sir. Kael recently discovered that Jude has been stealing money from the company. He’s been using the funds he stole to build a gang. Kael found his little territory where he kept his weapons—guns, daggers, machetes... and other ammunition. He’s also been using the money to hire men to work for him. Kael says he's be

  • Acting leader?

    Elsewhere...Scott had already booked the flight and successfully paid all the bills. Now, he sat inside the plane after waiting for several minutes. He was seated by the window, and beside him was Ali. Ali had his head down, cold sweat trickling down his face as he muttered prayers under his breath.It felt like he was right back in Scott's jet, and it was crashing all over again. He hadn’t recovered from the shock and fear he felt during that incident, so right now, he was freaking out while sitting there.Scott, on the other hand, remained silent. His arms were folded, and his back leaned against the seat. His head was filled with thoughts, wondering how his home would look when he returned. It had been close to a year since he left, and he couldn't help but wonder how much had changed while he was away.He knew one thing for sure—things wouldn’t be the same. A lot must have changed, and many people might have even forgotten him.Scott pondered for several minutes, and when the pil

  • Head ripped off

    Mr. Leeray grabbed the wooden table with a single hand and lifted it into the air, and he instantly spotted the man hiding under it. He tossed the table to the side of the room and shifted his gaze back to Joe. Joe's heart raced, his eyes filled with terror, and cold sweat trickled down his face. "What's the matter? Come on, rise up," Mr. Leeray gestured, and Joe hesitated. "I said rise up, man. You have no reason to be scared. As long as you do exactly what I tell you to do, we won't have a problem," Mr. Leeray added. Joe hesitated for a few seconds before rising up slowly. Before he could rise fully, Mr. Leeray grabbed him by the collar and picked him up aggressively. He moved swiftly to the wall and pinned him against it. "Please... don't kill me. I haven't wronged you in any way," Joe whimpered, and tears gathered in his eyes. "I won't kill you if you tell me what I need to know," Mr. Leeray spat, and his gaze fixed intently on Joe. "Where are my weapons?!" he questioned in

  • Blood Venom gang

    The officer marched into the office, his expression fierce and unrelenting, his hands tightly gripping his AK-47. He scanned the room for a few tense moments before speaking.“Time’s up. Back to your cell,” he said, his voice deep and firm.“Remember what I told you. I’ll be back in two days,” Chief Jim whispered just as the officer approached Perez, grabbed him by the arm, and lifted him from his seat. Perez gave a silent nod, then exited the room alongside the officer.Shortly after they left, Chief Jim let out a heavy sigh and rose to his feet. He adjusted his shirt, smoothing out the creases with steady hands, before walking out of the room. As he stepped outside the station, the cool air met his face. He headed straight to his car, pulled the door open, got in, started the engine, and drove off without hesitation.---Somewhere else in the city…Inside the lavish living room of an opulent mansion, a towering man stood with commanding presence. His body was thick with muscle, his

  • Convince

    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
