"Your wife killed Scott Carden!" Caroline informed in an audible tone.

Mrs Sheila opened her mouth to deny, but before she could utter a single word, the entrance door of the living room flung open and in came a striking young man.

He was clad in a long sleeve crimson t-shirt, black trousers, and a crimson sneakers worn on his legs. His hands was tucked in his pockets as he made his way into the living room majestically.

"Who is dead?" Scott questioned in a cool tone, his gaze fixed on Mrs Sheila who had a shocked expression on her face.

Catching sight of the man that had just walked in, both the jaws of Mrs Sheila and Louis dropped to the floor, and their eyes widened. Scott walked towards them majestically and stood beside Mr Fernando.

"You made it, son. I'm glad." Mr Fernando placed his hand on Scott's shoulder and said.

"Yeah, can't be late for something important like this one." Scott remarked in a respectful tone before shifting his gaze back to the rest of the family who kept

    "I see. No wonder why you never said anything all through the call. You remained mute until the call was ended." Mr Fernando rubbed his chin at the realization."Exactly." Scott affirmed."And what does that got to do with all these? We both know you answered the call and just pretending there as some assassin which there clearly wasn't! I didn't send any assasin to you! You know what, that's it, I am calling the security!" Mrs Sheila roared as she took out her phone and attempted to dial the security number, but Mr Fernando's voice stopped her."You will call no one." Mr Fernando ordered before shifting his gaze back to Scott. "Say more." Scott nodded as he began to speak further.."If you say I'm lying, then where did I get such injury from?" Scott muttered as he pushed his sporting black hair backwards, revealing an injury on his forehead. Mr Fernando's eyes widened after catching sight of the injury."How am I supposed to know where you got your injury from? You probably fell off

    "You three can come in now!" Scott instructed in a high pitched tone.Seconds after Scott said those words, the entrance door of the living room flung open, and three rugged looking men walked in. Mrs Sheila's heart skipped a beat after catching a glimpse of the men that had just walked in. They were all huge with bulky features, and their whole body covered in tattoos. Glancing at their faces, Mrs Sheila recognized them instantly.It was Tabulee...the same man she hired to assassinate Scott last night.Tabulee and his two comrades stepped forward and stood beside Scott. A fierce look evident on their faces. Mrs Sheila's dress was now soaked in her own sweat and her heart racing, with a nervous look evident on her faces."Who are these men, Scott? Mr Fernando inquired,his gaze fixed intently on the men that had just walked into his home."This right here is Tabulee, the man sent by your wife to assassinate me." Scott informed, and Mrs Sheila shifted her gaze to the floor afraid of ma

    FEW HOURS AGO...THE NIGHT TABULEE ATTACKED SCOTT..."You are dead meat, Scott Carden." Tabulee spoke as he picked up his dagger and began to walk towards Scott who laid down motionless on the floor with blood gushing out from his head. Before Tabulee could get close, the sound of siren caught his attention and he shifted his gaze towards the window, spotting a cop car heading towards the apartment. "Damn it, what are the cops doing here?" Tabulee huffed with a frown. "let's get out of here, guys. I can't afford getting caught and being locked up in jail." Tabulee declared as he turned around and attempted to exit through the backdoor, but the sound of phone ringing made him halt his steps and shifted his gaze towards where Scott laid down.He bent down in front of Scott and took out his phone to see just who is calling."Mr Fernando?" Tabulee blurted out with his eyes widened in shock. "This guy wasn't joking when he said he was really close to Mr Fernando?"Tabulee's hands began t

Scott smirked while glaring right into the eye of Mrs Sheila.All eyes turned to Mrs Sheila who was still sweating bucket full even though the room was as cold as North Pole. She knew that was the end, and it was impossible to bring up another lie.It this was a chess match, it would be called a checkmate."Uhm...uhm..uhm.." She stuttered, trying to figure out how to get out of this situation. The only thing she wished for right now was for the ground to open up and swallow her, because she couldn't stand the hateful glares from her husband.She has never seen him this furious before.

    "Guys?" Tabulee called out with a dumbfounded look as he glanced around he street, but they were nowhere to be found. "Where could they b-" Tabulee paused in his words as he noticed a figure few meters away from where he stood."Who are you?" Tabulee demanded. He couldn't see the face or appearance of the person, all he could see was a black figure."I AM JUSTICE!" A loud mechanical voice was heard as the figure spoke.Hearing the words of the man, a puzzled expression etched on the face of Tabulee as he struggled to figure out what me meant, and why his voice was like that of a robot."Don't make me ask again, man! Who are you, and do you have anything to do with my friends disappearance?" Tabulee demanded in a commanding tone."YOUR FRIENDS, YOU SAY? YOU MEAN THE ONES THAT HAS BEEN COMMITING ATROCITIES IN THS SOCIETY? ATROCITIES LIKE ASSASINATION, ROBBERY, VANDALISM, AND SO MANY MORE?"

    A truck drove towards the entrance gate of the venue, but three gigantic guards blocked their path and walked to the driver's seat."Show me your license." The guard requested in a deep tone.Perez nodded his head as he took out the fake ID he made earlier and handed it over to the man. The guard retrieved the card and glanced at it with a look of suspicion evident on his face.He glanced at the ID card for a few minutes before handing it back to Perez and moved towards the truck to take a closer look inside. He swept his gaze through the inside of the truck and could see a total of three individuals sitting down with fierce looks on their faces."Open the gate!" He finally ordered after examining them for few more minutes.Hearing the words of the man, the giant gate blocking their path slid open, and the truck drove into the compound of the opulent venue."That was close." Blake commented right where he sat while letting out a sigh of relief."Head to a place with less people and pa

    Oh yeah? Then why did you use it in the first place?" Blake teased with a smirk, hoping to anger the man. That worked out quite well and the man began to charge forward with his face bright red in anger, and when he arrived in striking distance, he punched out his fist towards Blake's head.The punch traveled towards his face, and the speed was quite shocking to Blake. He had not expected such a huge man to be able to move so swiftly. In the last second, he stepped to the side, and the man's fist missed his face and kept traveling forward due to the power behind it.Seizing the opportunity, Blake clenched his left fist tightly and swung it out from below towards the man's jaw. The man who had punched out earlier, was unable to retrieve his outstretched arm on time to block after catching a glimpse of Blake's fist heading towards him.Blake's fist jammed into his jaw, and the sound of teeth breaking reverberated throughout the hallway as the man's huge body got lifted off the floor and

    The night air was filled with the soft hum of luxury as a sleek, shiny Mercedes Benz S-Class pulled into the opulent venue. The car's chrome accents glinted like diamonds under the soft glow of the venue's exterior lighting, and its black paint job seemed to absorb the light around it, giving it an air of mystery and sophistication.As the Mercedes came to a stop, a long convoy of black cars followed suit, pulling up behind it in a sleek, precision-lined row. The cars were all identical, their tinted windows reflecting the vibrant lights of the venue like a row of dark mirrors.The Mercedes's driver, a impeccably dressed chauffeur with a crisp white glove, stepped out and opened the rear door with a flourish, revealing the elegantly dressed figure of Mr Fernando. Fernando's black tuxedo was immaculately tailored, and his silver hair was slicked back, revealing piercing blue eyes that seemed to gleam in the light.With a graceful smile, Mr Fernando emerged from the car, his eyes scanni

    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
