Elliot swallowed the saliva in his mouth. The longer the conversation becomes the more Chris seems more scary. It had only been a day but it was easy for him to gather enough background information about him.

Chris took his cellphone and placed it on the desk. “Have a look at it!”

Hesitantly, Elliot moved closer to the desk to pick up the phone. Another bombshell was dropped on him as soon as he read the contents on the phone.

“Sir, this…..this is.”

“Yes, they are a series of evidence of the recent embezzlement that some of your older cousins have committed in the past few years. I'm sure that you also have a bigger dream and it would be easy to bring down many of your competitors with that evidence in your hand.”

“However, it's not for free. I know they must have given you a private mission to keep a close watch on me. It is not possible to keep a mole next to me so I am going to give you a chance to choose who you wish to serve from this moment onward.”

    The Carters owned several fancy, modern homes in some of Brooklyn’s exquisite areas and several members of the family had occupied these homes. Unlike these people, Eva and her parents lived in much older buildings and farther away. As a result, it always took Eva a longer period of time to commute to work everyday compared to her other relatives who lived closer to the business district. Seeing that Eva was ignoring him with an aloof expression, Eric was infuriated and became more aggressive.“Tsk…You should just quit if you no longer have any interest in working anymore. Personally, I would prefer that you wouldn't step foot inside this company ever again. Your family has become a terrible stigma to the reputation of our family so it's best we just get rid of you.” “I suggest that it's best if you stay at home taking care of your crippled father and play housewife to that loser. Leave management of the company to the rest of us. Don't worry, you'll keep receiving your annuals d

    After leaving Pegasus Enterprise,Chris went around town running some simple errands so he returned back to the Carter residence at night. As soon as he walked into the house, he saw his mother-in-law, Kate seated on the sofa with a bag of chips in her hands while his father-in-law was busy watching the TV. “Where the hell have you been all day? I have been starving and have resorted to munching a bag of chips. Is this how you plan to get rid of me?” Kate challenged Chris in an impatient tone, her expression disgruntled in irritation. “I'm really sorry, mom. I didn't mean to take so long before coming back but I had so many important matters to take care of.” “Save it!” Kate snapped, waving her hand at Chris' face. “I don't wish to hear the silly excuses you have. Besides, what Kind of business could a bum like you possibly have to deal with outside. Are you trying to starve us to death? No wonder everyone calls you a good for nothing when you can even properly take care of a si

    As he walked back downstairs, he pulled out his cell phone and dialed Ethan's phone number. “I have a job for you. I need you to find out everything about Carlos and the Red Lounge Club." he said in a firm tone. “Chris I asked you to call down Eva, what's taking her so long to get here?” Lydia yelled as soon as she saw Chris walking down the stairs alone. “Are you so useless that you can't carry out such a simple task?” “I already did call her, mom. She is going to be down in a minute.” Chris replied. “Did you do something wrong to her?...What could possibly be keeping her from coming down instantly?....I won't forgive you if you really did something to her.” Kate continued ranting. “Calm down, Kate. You are being paranoid now.” Bruce remarked finding Kate's loud tantrum very annoying. She was always screaming at the top of her lungs and seizing every opportunity to lash out at Chris. Kate was about to lash out at Bruce as well but she kept her mouth shut as soon as she c

    Eva was frustrated but she had no choice but to comply with Carlo’s ridiculous request. Therefore she collected the drink and downed it all in one go. “Are you happy now?” She said in a rhetorical tone. “Very good, miss Carter.” Carlo laughed as he was in a pleasant mood. “When are you going to make the payment for your rent? It's very clear that your business is running smoothly so money won't be a problem” “I don't understand what you are saying Miss Carter because I recalled paying a certain amount of money before acquiring this place and I also have a contract that states that I wouldn't be bothered about any further payment for the next five years.” Eva gulped hard after hearing Carlo's response. Every word that he said was indeed true and this was as a result of Eric's stupidity for signing such a contract in an intoxicated state. “Mr. Carlo, I understand your words but do you think that perhaps we can make some adjustments to the contract. We both know that renting thi

    Seeing that his words were being ignored, the bouncer became infuriated and Marched angrily towards Chris, grabbing the collar of his shirt. “I was talking to…..” The bouncer found his head jolting backwards in shock after feeling the impact of a strike on his jaw which made him unable to complete his sentence before. The second bouncer was shocked to see how his colleague was knocked out in a single strike but he was unable to react before he felt a hard kick on his chest. In the next second, he found himself falling and landing inside the room he was meant to guard. Meanwhile as Eva was forcefully pressed against the sofa by Carlo, she was at a loss of words. She struggled to push him off her body but her efforts were futile against the man that was two times her size. “Stop resisting, miss Carter. I promise that I'll be gentle with you.” Carlo teased. He was secretly enjoying Eva's struggling beneath him. “Please stop!” Eva begged with tears Flowing out from her eyes. “You

    They stepped backwards, listening to their survival instincts that were warning them that Chris was a much more dangerous person than their boss at this moment. “You f**cking cowards. I pay you to protect me and follow my orders.” Carlo rebuked the guards but he instantly shut his mouth and his face darkened when he saw that Chris was approaching him. “ Stay back….Don't come any closer to me. You are going to get in deep trouble if you mess with me.” Chris wasn't bothered about Carlo's cowardly threats. He lowered himself to match Carlo's eye level. “I'll give you one chance to redeem yourself. First you agree to make an amendment to the rental agreement contract you signed with Cross Corporation. Secondly, you pay up all your outstanding debts and you will promise to always pay up on the regulated time.” “Why would I accept such ridiculous conditions after everything you’ve…….Argh!” Carlo stubbornly refused to comply with Chris' request but he suddenly screamed in pain after one

    Soon they arrived at Cross Corporation. As they walked into the lobby there were many eyes on them but this time around the disdainful stares were focused on Chris. “Is that her husband?” “Yes, that is the useless son-in-law of the Carter family. He is actually good looking but who would want to end up with someone penniless.” “I pity miss Eva. It's very unfortunate that she got married to that gold digger.” “He is very shameless to even show his face here.” Chris could hear the whispers of the staff as he walked past them but they were too insignificant to pay much attention to. Eva ignored the usual inconvenient stares that were always directed at her as she headed to the conference room. You shameless punk. You have the nerve to attend this meeting after the ruckus you caused at Grandpa's party the previous day? I suggest that you take your leave right away.” Eric challenged as soon as he caught sight of Chris walking into the room. Eva frowned. It was obvious that

    The Carter family is currently a third-tier family in Brooklyn. In the past, they were among the top second-tier families but their status dropped because of so many bad decisions they made in the past. Ben was hoping that collaborating with a business giant like Pegasus Enterprise would bring the family back on track. They would be able to make use of this opportunity to climb up the social ladder and reclaim the status they had lost. ‘So who can confidently take up this task?” Ben asked enthusiastically. However, there was an erring silence in the room that lasted for several minutes. Ben became irritated. He wasn't stupid enough to not understand the meaning of the ongoing silence in the room. His face reddened in anger and soon he started roaring intensely, “Why isn't anyone stepping up? Are you implying that all the descendants of the Carter family are lacking?...for goodness sake, I'm not asking for the damn moon here!” Grandpa, this isn’t our fault. There are so many o

    The helicopter’s blades roared above the scorched terrain, kicking up waves of sand as it ascended from the narrow gorge where Chris and his team had taken cover. The extraction had been swift and precise, thanks to Cara’s defiance of Mason’s orders. Chris sat near the cockpit, bloodied but alive, staring at the phone he had taken from the enemy leader during their last desperate clash. His fingers danced across the keypad, composing a message that would set the next phase of their plan into motion.“ All targets eliminated. Confirming Chris and his squad had been neutralized.”He read the text twice before pressing send. The stolen phone vibrated faintly in his hand, sending the message directly to Mason. A bitter smile crept across his face. Mason would never suspect it was him—he would think it was a final report from the enemy forces he had conspired with.“Message sent,” Chris muttered to Ethan, who was securing Roy’s injured arm beside him. “Let’s see how Mason reacts.”Ethan g

    In the shadows of the crimson-tinted base, Mason waited. His eyes never strayed from the monitors in front of him, the glow from the screens illuminating his calculating expression. He had spent years cultivating his place in the Legion, building his alliances, playing the part of the dutiful soldier. But beneath the surface, something had festered—a hunger, a thirst for power that had been there all along, waiting for the right moment to break free.Mason had known that James, the leader of the Legion, was vulnerable. After all, the older man had always been so sure of his power, so confident in his ability to hold the reins of the Crimson Legion. But James had a weakness: his attachments. And none more so than his favorite student, Chris.Mason had always hated it. Hated how James doted on Chris, how he saw potential in the young soldier. It was a jealousy that had quietly gnawed at him over the years, and now, it was something he could no longer control.So, Mason played his cards

In one fluid motion, Chris snapped his neck and signaled for the team to advance.The camp erupted into chaos when their presence was finally discovered.

    Meanwhile, As Chris waited for extraction, his resolve hardened. The mission wasn’t over, and the fight was far from done.The desert air was tense as the helicopter lifted off from the extraction point, its rotors slicing through the night. Chris sat near the door, his rifle resting on his lap, scanning the horizon for any threats. Ethan, Roy and another surviving operative, sat across from him, their faces grim but relieved. "This confirms it," Chris muttered, his voice low but resolute. "There's a mole in the Crimson Legion."Ethan frowned. "You sure about that, sir?"Chris nodded, his gaze sharp. "They knew we'd come. Every step of this mission was compromised." His voice was low, calculated. "The enemy was too prepared. They knew our every move.Someone's feeding them intel."Before Ethan could respond, the cockpit alarm blared, jolting everyone to alertness and the pilot's panicked shout pierced through their headsets."Missiles incoming! Brace for impact!"The first explosion

    Despite their efforts, the enemy continued to press, their numbers relentless. Chris’s mind raced as he evaluated their options.“We’re not going to outrun them,” Ethan said, his tone grim.“Then we outsmart them,” Chris replied.Spotting a narrow canyon ahead, Chris led Ethan toward it, the rocky terrain offering some cover. The enemy jeeps couldn’t follow, forcing their pursuers to dismount and continue on foot.The narrow passage became a deadly battleground as Chris and Ethan used the terrain to their advantage. Chris’s sharp instincts and flawless aim were on full display, each kill executed with surgical precision.Ethan, despite his exhaustion, matched Chris’s intensity. His quick reflexes and steady aim kept the enemy at bay, earning a nod of approval from Chris.“You’ve gotten better,” Chris said, reloading his weapon.“Guess I’ve had a good teacher,” Ethan replied with a grin.They held their position, firing at the enemy constantly until Roy was able to catch up with them a

    The Midnight RaidBy the time the moon hung high in the sky, Chris and his handpicked team were en route to Sudan. The helicopter flew low, its rotors slicing through the stillness of the desert night.Chris briefed the team over the roar of the engines. “We’re dealing with a highly organized group. They’ve anticipated our moves before. Expect heavy resistance. Our priority is James. Nothing else matters.”The plan was to extract James and the team will be transported from the site by a military convoy led by Mason which was already enroute couple of hours ago.Chris was surprised that Mason willingly chose to lead the escort team as he had expected that Mason would never want to miss the action. As the enemy camp came into view, the tension in the air was electric. The camp sprawled across the sand, a chaotic mix of tents, watchtowers, and armed patrols.The helicopter hovered just long enough for the team to rappel down, their black gear blending seamlessly with the shadows.They
