He knew that they were definitely going to humiliate him if they caught him. He was their greatest enemy and catching him meant that they would have a feast of celebration.He took a good view of the agents from the tight spot where he was hiding between the truck tires and found out that the agents that were sent this time were ones that he had never seen before. One of the agents spoke in a loud voice, his tone tinged with ridicule and a sarcastic sneer. “Or am I not right, Paul Leonard? You are here, aren't you? Why don't you show your face? Or are you going to keep hiding like a scared little child?”The agent spoke, trying to provoke Paul into making the mistake of revealing himself. The three men who were sent by the Kazitanis were much higher in rank than the ones that they sent for the first truck.One of the men alone had completed many operations and killed many people. They were also heavily armed with guns, knives, and even grenades.The agent’s voice was laced with sarca

He turned another glance at the area and saw that the place was no longer safe. One of the agents was creeping around that place and ready to devour him.Perhaps he was really covered, he thought. The best thing for him to do was surrender to the agents and then perhaps he could plot an escape.He had accessed the agents and he saw that it was going to be very difficult to take them on in combat. Also, he was very weak from the tussle and crash that he had when he was trying to burn down the first truck. He had had enough for one day and perhaps it was time for him to show his face.Paul soon emerged from hiding with slow and cautious steps, his hands held high above his head in a gesture of surrender as he invited the events to come to get him.He turned his glance towards the truck that he had set on fire and heaved a sigh of relief that he had completely burnt the contaminated cargo products.Getting arrested was only going to be a small price to pay to have saved the world, he re

Rosette had lost hope. She lowered her head in dejection because she saw how insistent the men were. They had been very clear that they were not going to release her until they made progress with getting the trucks across the border.Koffi then lessened his aggressiveness, his muscles releasing their effort as he brought out candy from his pocket. “Here, take this candy. You can have this for then a in time until we get more information as to what to do with you.”Rosette immediately latched on to the candy that was thrown toward her as she quickly used her teeth to devour it even though her limbs were tied.Vanessa, Koffi, and Djene maintained a rigid discipline, their expressions impassive as they tried to control their impatience.Their eyes were focused and their minds alert as they waited for orders and new instructions as to whether they could free Rosette and return to base but Vanessa was already thinking that the delay could only mean that there were some complications in the

Mr. Ferguson was screaming into the empty air because even though the video call was connected, there was no one he could see. It was all dark and he assumed that Rosette’s kidnappers did that to scare her.“Hey! Who is there? Why don’t you take me instead? I will surrender myself to you. I am the one you need so why don't you take me instead of her.”“Do not release me until I have given you what it is that you want even though I have already done everything that you asked of me.”Mr. Ferguson’s voice was filled with unbearable pain. He had not been able to even think properly since his daughter, Rosette was kidnapped. Suddenly, Rosette’s face materialized on the screen her face popping into view with a sudden appearance after she had been propelled by Vanessa.“Hey, hey, Rosette, speak to me. What are they telling you? What have they done to you?”Mr. Ferguson’s voice was trampled upon by Rosette’s wailing as she spoke very fast in an attempt to relay the information that she had b

“What are you talking about Vanessa? We are not hearing anything. It's probably just in your mind.”Vanessa froze, her hands poised in mid-air as she tried to a better idea of where the sound was coming from, her face a mask of alertness and caution.But the strange sound soon wore out and she heard nothing again. “Oh, perhaps it's nothing anyway. I thought I heard something,” she said.Koffi and Djene’s face were contorted with a smirk.“Try to get some rest okay? You probably need a little bit of rest and that is why you are hearing strange things. It happens sometimes,” Djene spoke, his voice tinged with a piece of mockery.Djene and Koffi, who were stunned by the news about what Paul did to the Kazitanis agents kept them talking quietly to each other.“I can only wish that when we finally get Paul Leonard in our custody, I will be there when he gets to be tortured. I can't wait to see that happen and if I can participate in the torturing, that would be even much more blissful,” Ko

Djene, not ready to give up so easily gathered all his strength into his legs and exerted enough pressure to swing his legs towards Miriam’s rib area but it was as if his legs were suspended in the air as Miriam used her hands to grab Djene’s legs before twisting his bones dangerously as Djene screamed in agony.Mirian struck a devastating palm strike, her hands lashing out with a blinding speed towards Djene’s chest.Djene felt his soul leave his body as a watery mixture of water and blood spilled out of his mouth with a devastating effect.But Miriam wasn't done with him yet as she used her elbow to prevent him from falling just so that she could unleash more attacks on him.Miriam then delivered an elbow stroke towards Djene’s jaw which shattered every single defence that Djene had. Shockwaves were transmitted through Djene’s body and his muscles quivered at the effect of the rush of attacks on him as his bones creaked in intense pain, sending him to the ground in a heap. There w

Vanessa knew that she was in deep trouble. Her stomach was twisting in knots as she tried to contain the extent of danger that she was. If only there was a way that she could call her bosses and tell them to send agents to her rescue. But her hands were completely tied. She had to refrain from the dangerous act that she was going to do. But was she going to surrender just like that? Miriam wasn't going to pity her because she could tell that she was still very hurt by what happened with Dexter.“If you want to kill me, you can just go ahead and do it,” Vanessa spoke, her voice strong and steady despite the fear that coursed through her veins. Her eyes were flashing with determination. “I know this is about Dexter. You still haven’t healed from his death. But come to think of it, there are a lot of things that you have also not healed from.”Vanessa was referring to the death of Miriam’s parents but she had still not developed the full courage to say it out loud.“You know, Dexter’s d

Djene and Koffi went into the doom of death as the air had been snuffed out of them.Miriam turned to point the same gun towards Vanessa but she was quick enough to defend herself.Vanessa, in a quick burst of action and the speed of lightning quickly picked up Rosette from the grounds in an instant.Vanessa shielded herself desperately with Rosette, her body pressed close to her.Rosette shuddered with a deadly quake of fear and her heartbeat was pounding in her ears as she felt like a light paper the way that she was so easily picked up from the ground. Her thoughts went wild as she darted from side to side with terror. She tried to free herself from the grip but before she knew it, a gun was pressed tightly to the side of her head.The force with which Vanessa pressed the gun against her head was so violent that her head was booming with a destructive quake. She was so sure that she was going to have a headache for two days if she was able to survive the horror that she was experi

Paul who was darting from side to side in confusion soon saw a figure in front of him. His ropes were cut off a lightning speed as he was escorted out of the hall by a figure.Paul gasped in shock when he saw the figure that had come to protect him.“Dane Michaelson?!” Paul gasped in surprise. “Is this you? What are you doing?”Dane Michaelson was Paul’s long-term friend and high schoolmate who had always been like a guardian angel to him. He always protected Paul from bullies when he was in high school and even had a young age, Dane Michaelson had impressive fighting skills that he used to defeat anyone who came across him to defy him or any of his friends. Paul learned a few fighting skills from Dane but their friendship was put to a halt when Dane had to travel far away for a scholarship. He promised that he was going to be back though and that he would always keep an eye on him.“I told you that I would be back for you, didn't I?” Dane spoke in a hurried tone, his words coming o

He didn’t want Grandpa Leonard to suffer more than he already had and he was feeling as though he should have done more to protect Grandpa Leonard.Grandpa Leonard was also tied with bonds to the wheelchair and his face was set in a mask of grim determination as he endured the agony, his eyes narrowed with focus against the torrent of pain.“I am the head of the Imperial Society Syndicate, not him,” Pail spoke, trying to defend Grandpa Leonard.“Son, do not worry about me. This is not the time to speak of vain things,” Grandpa Leonard spoke sternly as if to tell Paul not to worry about him.The Red Witch erupted in a burst of laughter that echoed through the hall, her expression twisted into a malicious smile as she took pleasure in her evil deeds. It brought her so much joy to see Paul and Grandpa Leonard sit side-by-side and have their faces contorted with grief.Her smile curved into a malicious grin as she turned towards Paul. “Long time, no see Paul Leonard. Don’t tell me that yo

Paul could hear their voices and it was mixed with laughter and merriment. The stench of alcohol filled the place and Paul was wondering if it was the same person that was tied to a chair that everyone was celebrating about.But there was something else that caught Paul’s interest. He kept hearing them call out a Red Witch. He had heard the word more than twice already since his eyes fluttered open and from the conversation that his ears were able to pick, it seemed as if the Red Witch wasn’t just an ordinary person.It could be one of their leaders, he thought. Or could it be the person that was assigned to kill him and render whatever punishment they had against him?Paul was suddenly shocked when he received a huge flow of water attacking him on his face. He spluttered and shuddered as his body shook violently, expelling the water from his lungs. His throat was constructed painfully as he tried to draw breath. He shook his face repeatedly so that the water could fall off his face a

Sarah couldn’t help but defend herself. She wasn’t just going to keep quiet and allow things to happen to her. She had to speak up and defend herself, she thought.“I brought the antidote that is now the reason why you are alive. I suffered a lot and risked a lot to get the antidote. I had an agreement with Janet, Frank, and Thomas but they haven’t told me anything,” Sarah stammered in panic, her words tumbling out rapidly as she tried to explain herself. “I don’t deserve this treatment and I don’t understand why you have to force me here as if I shouldn’t be one of the partakers of the good things of Winston Corporation. If you knew what I did to get the antidote for you, you probably wouldn’t be treating me this way. What else do I have to do to prove that I deserve my previous position back.”Janet retorted. “Liar! Liar! You cannot get your previous position back. You are a rotten piece of dirt!l Janet retorted.”Janet was always upset by the fact that Sarah was desperate to get h
CHAPTER 196
Sarah’s voice was breaking because she wondered what she said that was wrong. “Y-e-s.”“What?!” Arianna fumed. “What exactly are you still doing at the inner chamber? You have already made the mistake of giving them the antidote but what business do you still have there?”“I just think that maybe they would—-” Sarah’s voice was breaking with tension.Arianna spoke over her in a loud frothing. “You think what exactly? What exactly do you think? Are you still delusional enough to think that Lady Winston would give you the requests that you asked for?”Arianna’s tone was insistent and her expression furious as she rendered a warning. “What exactly are you still there for when they have already shown you the writing on the wall? Oh my goodness!”“You had better start running away from there because if the history of your family’s wickedness is anything to go by, then it won’t be long until they arrest you and even do much worse to you than they wanted to do before. Do you think Lady Winst
CHAPTER 195
Arianna’s voice was tinged with a hint of unease as she tried to communicate her fears. “Doctor Lopez? Wait, don’t tell me that you tried to get the antidote from him to help Lady Winston.”Sarah bit her lips again because she didn’t know how to answer the question. “That’s exactly what I did,” she finally spoke out.“My goodness!” Arianna spoke out loud, her voice ringing with a loud echo from the phone as she conveyed her disappointment. “I thought that Paul already gave you a new and improved job. What happened that would make you go back to the same mess that you were coming from.”“I just couldn’t find it comfortable there. I couldn’t stop thinking about Winston Corporation. I thought that I felt at home at Winston Corporation,” Sarah attempted to justify herself, her voice faltering because she realized the fault in her argument.“Can you even listen to yourself?” Arianna seethed, her voice rising with a cold anger and tinged with disappointment. “You are somehow trying to justi
CHAPTER 194
“Do you really think that I will listen to her deceits? She has seen that Paul can do no good for her and now she wants to return to where she made a life. Oh, how foolish does she think we would be.”“In any case, I am glad that she came right into our hands because now she will get the punishment that she escaped narrowly before. Who would have thought that she would come right under our nose so easily for us to dismantle her.”Janet's cheek flushed with happiness as she smiled brightly, her eyes shining with excitement.Of course, neither she nor her brothers had the intention of fulfilling the pact that they had with Sarah. They were all trying to get the antidote and now that Lady Winston was back in a healthy condition, they could do away with Sarah. In fact, Frank and Thomas especially were expecting Lady Winston not to suspend the punishment that she had earlier placed on her.“Come to think of it. Where is she now? Where did she go? “ Lady Winston asked. They all turned the

She recalled that she had forgotten the gun that Arianna gave to her in Doctor Lopez’s office. That gun was the evidence that was going to stand against her if Doctor Lopez died. Her mind started reeling with desperate thoughts. What if she had committed murder all for nothing? Was she going to lose on both ends? How long was she going to keep foolishly trusting her family to back her up and then proving that they were always going to stab her in the back?An investigation was going to be carried out into what happened with Doctor Lopez, she reasoned. They were going to trace it to her and tell Paul about it. She couldn't imagine how disgusted Paul was going to feel to learn that she had betrayed him even much more intentionally this time.The inner chamber had high ceilings adorned with intricate carvings. The walls were lined with tapestries and brilliant decorations conveying a sense of power and prestige. Frank and Thomas led Lady Winston until she reclined on a sumptuous chair
CHAPTER 192
Lady Winston soon spoke, her words drowned with fatigue and her speech slow and deliberate as she feigned an extra bit of tiredness. “Hello everyone. I appreciate that you have all come here to witness this moment. I appreciate all those whose prayers and thoughts have been with me.”“But as you can see, I am recovering from a very delicate condition that would require that I have a long rest so I will be accompanied by my family - Frank, Thomas, Estevan, and Janet who I am sure must have been working day and night to ensure that I am back to normalcy.”The employees all erupted in applause, their faces contorted with nervousness as they gradually returned to their duty posts.Sarah’s expression was glazed, her eyes unfocused and her mouth hanging slightly open as she stared blankly, her features slack with confusion. Her haze was disoriented as she stared back and forth, her expression clouded with confusion and uncertainty. The applause was like a torment to her because it was cons
