Scott kept banging the door, trying to get the attention of the officer, but his words all fell on deaf ears as the officer walked away.

"Give it a rest, man. They won't listen. Once you're brought here you can only leave when you are found innocent, and that's near impossible because you are not allowed to contact your lawyer or anyone that might be able to help you."

A voice sounded from behind, causing Scott to turn around slowly but couldn't see anyone.

"Who's talking?" Scott questioned while glancing around.

"Psst.. over here."

Scott heard the voice again, and when he shifted his gaze to the side he saw a small hole on the wall. He walked towards the wall and dropped to his knees.

"I see. You are in the other cell." Scott stated.

"Yeah. I'm Caleb by the way." The man introduced.

"Scott." Scott replied.

"That's cool. I guess we are both neighbors now." Caleb said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

Scott sat down on the floor with his back leaned against the wall and his arms rested

    The whole crowd in the courtroom began to celebrate when Scott was sentenced. They were all glad that after many months justice was finally being served.Scott, on the other hand, just sat there in silence with an expressionless look on his face. After Caleb told him those words yesterday he already prepared himself for this, so he wasn't disappointed."I'm sorry. I did my best." The attorney, who defended Scott, muttered. Scott paid no attention to him as he just sat there in silence, and his gaze fixed on the floor.Officers approached him and grabbed his arms, accompanying him back to the truck."You are lucky it wasn't a death penalty!" A man among the crowd spat, his voice filled with disdain."This bastard should be killed!" A woman voiced out."Life imprisonment isn't bad though. At least he won't get to see the outside world for the rest of his life!"Scott kept walking back to the truck with the officers beside him, ignoring the words of the people around him. He stepped into

    "Whatever we are discussing is none of your business." Scott spoke up, causing Santos to shift his gaze towards him, and the eyes of Caleb widened slightly.Hearing the words of Scott, Santos shifted his gaze towards him with a surprise expression. Even the rest of the prisoners in the cafeteria were also shocked because no one talked back to Santos."What did you just say, lad?" Santos asked softly, his gaze fixed intently on Scott who wasn't even sparing him a glance."I'm sure you heard me, man." Scott stated coldly, and everyone in the cafeteria gasped in shock."I haven't seen your face here before. You must be new. Well, I guess that explains the confidence. Incase you don't know, I run shit here, so mind the way you talk to me if you don't want me to fuck you up." Santos leaned down and whispered into the ears of Scott, his tone was cold and menacing. Scott just sat there with an emotionless look, totally unfazed by his words."By the way, why are you here? What did you do?" S

He needs immediate medical care!" The officer declared after examining Scott.Two more officers rushed towards Scott and they both lifted him off the floor and began to head towards the clinic. They ran hastily through the hallway, and a few moments later they finally arrived there.The door was pushed open and they stepped inside the clinic. Angela was already prepared to leave after finishing up, and when she saw the officers bring in a patient she swiftly prepared a bed and they gently placed him on it."What happened to him?" Angela asked, her gaze fixed intently on Scott who laid down there with his eyes closed."He got into a fight with other inmates." The officer informed."I see. You are free to leave, I'll take care of him." Angela stated.The officers nodded as they turned around and exited the place. Wit

    "Don't worry, boss, you can always count on me. You know I'll never fail you." Sandro stated."Alright, you'll receive the number now." Scott said before disconnecting the call.After the call was disconnected, Scott opened his mouth widely and placed his right hand inside. He moved the hand around the mouth before he finally pulled out a small black business card. The card he got from Cheng's right-hand man.Scott hid the card in the mouth because of a time like this. That's why he refused to eat earlier. Not because he wasn't hungry, he was in fact starving... But he chose not to eat because of what's in his mouth."I knew this would be useful in the future. It's a good thing I brought it along." Scott mused as he typed the phone number name written on it before sending it to Sandro.Scott also sent some other texts, reminding him of the plan, and a few seconds later the phone shuts down as the battery dies.Scott sighed as he got off the bed and walked towards Angela's drawer.

    "Freeze." Sid halted his steps swiftly after catching sight of the officer standing before him. "What the hell are you doing here and why aren't you in your cell?" The officer questioned, his pistol still pointed at Sid who now had beads of sweat on his forehead, and a tensed look evident on his face."Are you deaf?!" The officer voiced out, causing Sid to flinch out of fear. "What key is that in your hand?"Sid just stood there in silence. He had no idea how he would answer those questions. He told Officer Danny to order all officers to evacuate this particular area, but for some reason this particular officer was still here.The officer in front of him was a very strict officer who doesn't smile with the inmates and was always serious with his job. He once shot an inmate who refused to return back to his cell after the order was given out.The only thing that can save him right now was a miracle because he had no idea how to explain himself."What's going on here?"Officer Danny's

    Sid remained there on his knees with his back facing Scott."Answer my question. Who the hell are you and what do you want?" Scott repeated his question after receiving nothing but silence from the other. "Were you sent by that bastard? Are you one of his minio-"Before Scott could finish his words, Adonis spun around and slashed out his dagger towards Scott's legs. Scott's reflex kicked in, and he swiftly reacted by leaping backwards, making Adonis cut nothing but thin air.Adonis ceased the opportunity and rose to his feet."I am here to kill you!" Adonis spat, gripping his dagger tightly."If your goal is to kill me then you are at the back of a long line." Scott responded, his expression calm and collected as he glared at Sid."Screw you!" Adonis spat as he charged forward with his blood boiling in anger. In less than a second, he closed in on Scott, and without warning he swung out his shiny dagger towards his chest.Scott saw the dagger heading towards his chest with full force,

    Scott swiftly countered by clenching his right fist and delivered a powerful uppercut. Impaff was made, and Adonis was lifted a few meters into the air and was sent crashing backwards.Adonis crashed on a bed a few meters away and landed on the floor. He clenched his teeth as he felt pains all over his body. He tried standing up but his body was refusing to listen. As much as he hates to admit he knew he had lost. Scott defeated him.And based on how Scott fought he could tell that he wasn't taking the fight seriously and he was actually holding back. If Scott held back and still defeated him, imagine what would happen if he fought with all his might.Scott walked towards Adonis who was slowly picking himself up."I know you don't believe me, but I didn't kill your father.

  • 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

  • The ocean

    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

  • Bringing a gun to a fistfight?

    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

  • Really close

    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

    "Attacking the Head? Now that's a serious crime," Scott bellowed, his voice echoing through the vast hall. "And if I remember correctly, you said anyone who breaks the rules should be killed."Zhang Yang, who lay sprawled on the cold marble floor, swallowed hard at Scott’s words. His hands trembled slightly, and a visible sheen of sweat covered his forehead."Please... have mercy," he stammered, barely able to lift his head. "I don't know what came over me. I... I didn't mean to attack you." His voice was drenched in fear, and his heart thudded violently against his ribs.Scott’s expression hardened. He stood towering above Zhang Yang, his jaw clenched tight. "And here I was thinking I could trust you," he said coldly. "But in the end, you're no different from Wang Jian." His tone was filled with bitter disappointment. "And why are you begging for your life now? Weren’t you the same man who insisted I kill that other man earlier? You said all crimes should be punishable by death."As

  • A successor

    Scott sat there in silence after hearing the words of Sandro, his fingers rubbing his chin."I agree they will all be mad because of my decision, but I doubt they'll make any move against me. You worry too much, Sandro. Just relax and enjoy the night," Scott finally spoke up, his right hand squeezing Sandro's shoulder. He picked up a glass of whiskey and took a sip before ordering one of the guards to take the box to his car outside. He couldn't stand seeing the box anymore, knowing it was the head of his friend sitting inside."So when will we be leaving, boss?" Sandro inquired after a short moment of silence."Once the party is over, I'll be on my way," Scott responded. "I've already ordered Sullivan to fly the jet to China. He will arrive in a couple of hours," he added."I see. And have you thought of the person who will rule the empire while you are away?" Sandro inquired."Yes, I have. I already have someone in mind," Scott replied instantly as he sipped his whiskey."It has to

  • Death penalty for all crimes

    Scott rose to his feet and made his way toward the man who was on his knees. His expression was cold, and his gaze fixed intently on him. The towering guards were holding the man's hands behind his back, making it impossible for him to move.Scott halted his steps in front of him and glared at him for a few moments before asking, "Who gave you that box?"The man swallowed hard before responding, "I don't know. I swear," he said in Chinese, his tone drenched in fear. "I didn't see his face clearly. He wore a hoodie. He simply gave me the box and said it was a special gift for you," he added."So a hooded man came here and gave you a box, telling you to take it to the boss—and you did, without asking questions or finding out who he was?!" Zhang Yang voiced out in anger. "You're lying. There's more to the story.""He's right. Why would you receive something from a man who's hiding his face under a hoodie? You had no idea who he was. What if it was a bomb inside the box?" Scott bellowed.

    Noise erupted in the dining hall the moment everyone caught sight of Memphis's severed head inside the box. Screams filled the air as most of the ladies bolted from the room, rushing outside in a frantic attempt to avoid soiling the polished floor with their vomit.Scott stood frozen, his body unmoving, his eyes locked on the gruesome sight before him. His gaze widened in shock, the blood in his veins turning cold even as a seething heat began to rise within him."What the hell is this?" Sandro blurted out, his voice trembling and his face twisted with terror."Do you know this man?" Zhang Yang asked, eyeing Scott closely."Yes..." Scott replied in a low, shaken tone, his voice barely audible. "He was my comrade."His eyes never left the box."Who could have done something like this?" Sandro asked, a mixture of fear and disbelief in his voice."I'll find the man who delivered the box," Zhang Yang declared firmly. "Whoever he is, he might know who killed your friend."With that, he rai
