Scott nodded before heading towards the staircase. He climbed up the stairs until he finally arrived in the top floor where he could see Mr. Fernando several meters away. Scott took a deep breath in and out before making his way towards him."Here I am, Sir." Scott muttered. Hearing the words of Scott, Mr. Fernando shifted his gaze towards him."Scott, I need to discuss business with you." Mr. Fernando said in a serious tone."What do you mean, sir? What business?" Scott inquired respectfully."Come with me." Mr. Fernando gestured as he took Scott inside his secret office and shut the door. The office was quite vast and was big enough to fit in thirty people.A huge round table could be seen at the center of the room, and the table was filled with illegal tickets for horse races and underground fight clubs. Just by glancing around Scott could tell that this was the place were the important members of Mr. Fernando come to arrange the bets of people and also calculate the money generat
"Do you know why I sent you on the mission to retrieve the package? One of the reason was to avoid attention from other gangs around, yes..but the main reason was because all my comrades refused to go. They knew it would be dangerous, and when I asked if there was anyone brave enough to go on the mission no one replied. Even the so called Bolasco kept his hand down. However, when I asked you to go on the mission you didn't think twice before accepting. That's enough reason for me to see just how worthy you are. So let me ask you once again, Scott, do you want to join my gang and be my trusted partner?" Mr. Fernando declared audibly.Scott sat there in silence after Mr. Fernando was done with his words, and a look of contemplation evident on his face."That is a lot to digest. Do you mind giving me some time to think about it?" Scott spoke up."Sure. Take your time. And when you finally make a decision I'll be here waiting." Mr. Fernando replied."All right then. Thanks you." Scott ap
Scott stepped out of the compound and now found himself in the deserted street. The whole place was dimly lit, and the only source of light was the single street light by the corner of the street.Scott tucked his hands into his pocket as he began to walk forward.BEEP" BEEP" BEEP"While Scott walked through the street he felt his phone vibrating in his pocket which made him pull it out and glanced at the screen to see who the caller was.It was Theo Lahey.Scott glanced at the phone for a few seconds before answering it."Good evening, Theo Lahey." Scott greeted after answering the call."What do you take me for, Scott? A fucking joke?" Theo's voice sounded over the phone in anger. "You think I'm joking, right? I am a fucking clown to you, eh?" He added."Relax, Theo, something important came up that's why I couldn't make it." Scott informed."Something important my ass. You realize I have Tori in my custody, right? And I can kill her now that you disobeyed my orders!" Theo reported.
"The only person that took me under his wings and protected me was killed during the annual gang meeting. He was among those leaders who ate poison and died. With him being dead, I have no one to rely on. And I'm scared of the hunter coming after me. I need someone to protect me from his wrath." Theo spoke audibly while Scott sat there attentively."And what does this got to do with me?" Scott raised a question."I know you will soon get married to the daughter of Mr. Fernando. I didn't believe it at first until Tori confirmed it. If you should get married into his family you should be able to convince him to take my gang under his wings and give us protection." Theo responded."Now, what would make you think I would be in any position to make demands when I marry Caroline? I will only become his son in-law and not someone with worth that is capable of making such demands." Scott voiced out.Theo sighed as he puffed out smoke from his mouth before stating, "You know, Scott, there has
"What I am trying to say is that no matter how many people you have that's protecting you, once you're a target you will surely be dead. The Hunter could easily get to one of your trusted member and brainwash them, making them turn against you and help him carry out his dirty business." Scott added.Theo sat there in silence, his whole suit was now drenched in his own sweat and a look of contemplation evident on his face."Is there a way for me to escape?" Theo inquired shakily."The only way to avoid getting killed by the Hunter is if you kill yourself before he finds you." Scott affirmed, causing Theo's eyes to widen in shock."You're fucking kidding me, right?" Theo blurted out."Nope. Unfortunately I am not kidding you,y friend. You choose to die brutally by hands of the hunter, or die peacefully however you choose. It's your choice. I recommend drowning. It's much more reliable than poisoning." Scott remarked without a smirk.Theo's face became bright red in anger after catching
Scott kept walking down the street until he finally arrived at a shopping mall. He decided to buy a brand new suit for his wedding since the last one got destroyed during his fight on the rooftop.BEEP"Scott's phone beeped in his pocket which made him halt his step and brought out the phone to see the message. Catching sight of the message he had just received, Scott's eyes widened in disbelief.(Credit alert: $1,000,000)Scott glanced at the notification with a slight look of disbelief. At first he thought it was Sandro sending him the company's profit share as usual, but when he caught sight of the name of the sender his eyes widened."Mr. Malcolm Fernando?" Scott mused. "I remember he requested for my account details and promised to send me a compensation money. I can't believe he sent me one million dollars just for compensation." Scott pondered.Scott assumed Mr. Fernando would send him a maximum of one thousand dollars and a minimum of five hundred dollars when he requested for
The lady picked up the card and swipped it on the machine and asked Scott to input his pin which he did. The lady secretly prayed that the card gets declined so she could have an opportunity to disgrace Scott.However, her prayers weren't answered. The transaction was completed. The lady frowned and when attempted to pull out Scott's card from the machine, she caught a glimpse of his account balance which made her gulped down saliva.The amount was something she has never seen before. The zeros and commas behind it just kept going on and on and it seemed like it had no end."Just who is this man?" She pondered internally with he gaze fixated on Scott who stood there with an expressionless look evident on his face.Scott noticed the way the lady was glancing at him and he raised a question."Is everything okay, Miss?" Scott inquired."Ah, yes, everything's fine, sir." The lady affirmed as she placed the bags on the counter in front of Scott.A puzzled expression appeared on Scott's fac
"TONIA, GET DOWN!" Scott shouted as he ducked low.BANG"The sound of gunshot reverberated throughout the area as Angelo pulled the trigger. To his greatest surprise, he missed his target which was Scott. Scott was quick enough to duck low before he could pull the trigger and dodged it.Tonia, on the other hand, wasn't fast enough."Tonia?" Scott muttered with his heart racing and his gaze fixed on Tonia's chest. Blood could be seen gushing out of her chest like water.The bullet Scott dodged successfully ended up hitting Tonia's chest.Tonia stood there motionless, her eyes teary and filled with pains but she was unable to scream. After standing for a few seconds she finally fell down on the floor."SOMEONE CALL A FUCKING AMBULANCE!" Scott voiced out as he knelt down beside Tonia.Angelo stood there motionless for a few moments after realizing he had just shot Tonia instead of Scott."What the hell, man? You were supposed to shoot him and not her!" Gary stepped out of hiding and scol
