“You people are really shameless! Always seeking out ways to exploit us in order to reap greater benefits.” Bruce remarked with a displeased expression on his face. For a moment, he actually believed that Eric was being sincere seeing how he willingly returned the items he had confiscated but it turns out that it was just a charade to make use of Eva as they always did in the past.

“What are you talking about, uncle?”

“ You would never have bothered to return these items back if the Carter's family wasn't in a dire situation and needed eva help to resolve the situation. You are not really here to reconcile with us but to take advantage of us.”

Eric laughed awkwardly after listening to the bruce words. “It is very unpleasant if you put it that way uncle. We are a family so it's natural if we helped each other out.” he said, trying to mediate the situation.

“We are no longer part of the Carter household so you should stop bothering us with your problems. What is the point of being part

    Eric knew that Benjamin was being shameless at this moment but he knew that arguing would only make his situation worse than it already was. After being scolded harshly by his grandfather, he turned around and left the house, feeling frustrated and upset.“Father, don't you think that you are being too harsh on eric? afterall , the one who should be blamed is Brother Bruce. If only he had trained his daughter more strictly then Eva wouldn't have grown to become very rebellious and keep on causing trouble for the family.” brian remarked as soon as Eric walked out of the room. He couldn't stand watching his son being consistently rebuked by everyone.Benjamin glared at Brian with a scornful gaze. “Maybe the family situation wouldn't have gotten this worse if only you were half as competent as your older brother,” he muttered half-heartedly wondering why he had so many strokes of bad luck. Bruce,who was his first son, was very bright and skillful in managing the family business. It wa

    Brian, who had also accompanied Benjamin remarked, berating Bruce in a disdainful tone.“Considering the relationship between us I didn't think that you would be expecting us to give you a warm welcome when All you have done these past couple days is torment us and you are likely here to cause another trouble.” Kate remarked in a displeased tone. Compared to Bruce who was holding himself back she on the other hand had no intention of hiding the disgust she felt after seeing Benjamin and Brian.Both Benjamin and Brian were equally taken by surprise when they heard Kate's words.“You damn old hag! Do you realize that you are in the presence of the patriarch? You must have gone crazy to be speaking to us in such a discourteous manner?” Brian lectured, his voice enveloped with agitation as his ego was bruised by Kate's behavior. In the past, Kate was usually intimated by Benjamin’s presence but she was speaking more boldly contrary to how nervous she always acted and this irked Brian

    Brian couldn't remain silent after hearing all the benefits that Benjamin promised to hand over to Eva and her parents just for the sake of convincing them to return to the family.If Eva accepted the offer then she and her family would hold a significant amount of influence within the family and he couldn't allow that to happen. “Father, you are offering too much. I am afraid that you are going to cause more harm than good to the family with these conditions.” Brian protested in a low voice only Benjamin could hear.“Fool! I told you to shut the hell up, didn't I? I'm only doing this to bring Eva back to the family so don't bother me now.” Benjamin groaned in a frustrated voice, rolling his eyes at Brian.On the other hand, Eva, Bruce and Kate could hide the shock they felt after hearing Benjamin’s offer. To be able to work at the Carters’ company was simply their dream for many years!Kate was especially enticed by the offer since it meant she would receive more monthly allowance w

    “Bruce, you can talk to Eva. She is your daughter. Tell her to put everything in the past and look towards the future. You are direct descendants of the Carter family no matter what anyone thinks.”“Father, I understand your point of view and I do feel bad about the current state of the Carter family. However, this matter has gone beyond my capability.” Bruce replied with a solemn expression lingering on his face.“What are you saying?” Benjamin queried with a raised eyebrow as that wasn't the response he was expecting from Bruce.“I'm saying that I won't force Eva to make a decision against her will. It's up to her to decide if she wishes to return to the family or not.” Bruce clarified, focusing his gaze intently on Benjamin as a gesture to express his unwavering determination to not change his decision.Benjamin was overwhelmed with disappointment but he couldn't stop trying. “I'm trying to save you from the regret of letting your own household collapse when you could have done so

    Misunderstanding?!” Benjamin Carter immediately lost his temper. He had already wasted several hours at their home and even got provoked, only to hear that it was all a misunderstanding and that Eva was not in a relationship with the chairman of Pegasus Enterprise.If that was truly the case then it also signifies that Eva really didn't have any connection to the current crisis of the Carter family and was of no use to them as he had presumed.He stood up, stared at them with a hostile gaze, and roared, “How could you make a mistake with such an important matter?! Weren’t you very proud and conceited when you bragged about it?! Huh? All you do is brag and show off, but you’re so useless at solving problems! You’re a bunch of garbage!”“How is this our fault?! I was merely stating my opinion and didn't force anyone to take my words seriously. You shouldn't blame your misfortunes on someone else.” Kate also lashed out at Benjamin as she couldn't endure being reprimanded by him. “Shut

    Bruce had his eyebrows as he silently watched Kate throw a fit “why do you even bother? You already know that she won't change her mind unless she desires to do the same thing you want. It's about time you stop pestering her or haven't caused enough misunderstanding already.”“I haven't done anything that is so wrong. As her mother, I'm only looking out for what is best for her so just stay out of it if you are not going to be of any help." Kate lashed out by bruce.It was at this moment Chris made his entry into the house as he just returned from grocery shopping.Seeing him, Kate wasted no time directing all her pent up frustration at him.” you damn wastrel. Were you going to spend the whole night shopping for groceries? You have been gone like forever.`` she shouted furiously at chris.Chris, who was clueless about everything that has happened in his absence, was a bit confused. He had only been gone for about thirty minutes and couldn't understand why Kate was overreacting. Howeve

    The following day, Chris drove Eva to work on his scooter since her vehicle had been severely damaged when she was kidnapped by John Landon’s men. “Thanks a lot for the lift. I'll make sure to get my car fixed as soon as possible.” Eva said after getting off the bike. She assumed that she was being an inconvenience to the Chridls“Why are you speaking so formally? I wasn't doing any favors. You are my wife and it is actually very normal for me to drive to work.” Chris responded with an assuring smile plastered on his face.As the couple were busy chatting, they noticed that a lot of stares were directed to them.It was morning and many of the company employees were resuming their day jobs. Since Eva was the CEO of the company, they all easily recognized Eva as they walked past her and Chris who were several feet away from the entrance of the building.Considering her status and rank within the company, many of them found it bizarre that eva was arriving to work on such a cheap l

    As a result, it seemed ridiculous that a bum like Chris claimed to be here to purchase a car. “This crazy punk!...are you here to cause trouble for us this morning? It would be wise for you to leave while I'm still asking nicely.” The salesman snapped at Chris in a much harsher tone.At this junction, a deep frown appeared on Chris’ face as he was also peeved by the salesman in appropriate behavior. “Why am I being kicked out of the showroom? I don't think that I have done anything wrong to warrant such humiliating treatment. Is this how you attend to your customers in this place?” He complained in dissatisfaction. The salesman grew more infuriated after listening to Chris' words. He didn't want to have to deal with such a nuisance very early in the morning.“Are you kidding me right now? Do you even know what you are talking about or how much each of this car costs?”“So what are you insinuating?“Are you dumb or what?” The salesman groaned rhetorically. “I'm telling you that this

    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

    The team moved with deadly precision, their years of training evident in every step. As they entered the camp, Chris took the lead, his silenced pistol eliminating guards with surgical accuracy.A lone sentry patrolling near a truck never saw Chris coming. 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. Gunfire lit up the night as Chris led the assault, his movements a blur of lethal efficiency. Each shot he fired found its mark, and his team followed his lead, their confidence bolstered by his unwavering resolve."Ethan, cover the east side!" Chris shouted, reloading his rifle.Ethan moved swiftly, his sharp aim taking down two approaching soldiers. "Got it!"An enemy grenade landed near their position, but Chris reacted instantly, grabbing it and hurling it back toward the enemy. The explosion rocked the camp, sending debris flying and disorienting their attackers.Chris finally

    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 escape was anything but smooth. As soon as the team emerged from the tent with James, the camp exploded into chaos. Alarms blared, and enemy troops swarmed.The enemies troops began swarming the campChris senses heightened instantly “Move!” he barked, his rifle barking in sharp bursts as he covered their retreat.Ethan provided backup, his aim deadly as he took down enemies with precision. “They’re closing in!”The rest of the squad began shooting as well in order to decrease the pressure.Unfortunately, Chris and his team were pinned down as they were taking heavy fire from all sides.The number of enemy troops was three times as much as what the mission report stated.Chris was taken off guard by how quickly the mission had gotten out of control and it seemed like he had fallen into a trap.Chris’s instincts kicked in as he took cover behind a stack of crates, his weapon firing in controlled bursts. “They knew we were coming,” he muttered, his mind racing.Despite the odds, th

    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
