As soon as Chris entered, Kate approached him “You dumb idiot! You really are a jinx to this family. How could you audaciously take on the task of clinching a cooperation agreement with the Pegasus Enterprise. So many families in Brooklyn are dying to get acquainted with it. Who are we? This task is impossible to complete!”

Eva was extremely annoyed and frustrated.

Her grandfather said that she had to clinch a contract within two days. She was now pressed for time to complete this task that was almost impossible to complete. She was so troubled that she felt that her head was about to explode.

If she didn’t sign a contract in two days, her family would be kicked out of the Carter family. If her mother found out, she would definitely kick up a big fuss.

“I still have something to do. I’m going to leave now.”

Time was running out, and she had to hurry up and pay a visit to Pegasus Enterprise. Even though the chances of success were low, she had to do her best.

As soon as Eva

    Chris was able to find Eva’s car parked in the garage so he drove her back home. “You imbecile. What have you done to my daughter? We took you into our family, fed and clothed but you ungrateful loser dared to bite that had that fed.” Kate reprimanded, hitting Chris as soon as he laid Eva on the couch in the living room. “Mom, I haven't done anything.” Chris tried to explain but Kate wouldn't listen to him as she even began hitting harder. “Stop hitting the boy, Chris hasn't done anything to Eva.” “Stop making such a a ridiculous comment. Take a look at our daughter condition. Is that normal to you.” “Yes, it is very normal when someone is extremely drunk. She reeks of our alcohol and it seems like Chris only went to bring her home.” “Whose fault is it in the first place? Eva has never come home drunk before even when she was still a college student. It's all this bastard's fault!” Chris sighed, unable to say anything at this point. “I'll carry her to her room. She’ll sur

    For a few seconds, Eva stared at Chris in deliberation before she made up her mind and collected the tea. She drank and placed the cup on the table. “I have to go now.” Chris smiled and stretched his hands towards Eva. “What is it now?” Eva questioned with a frown. “Give me the car keys. I'll drive you there.” Chris demanded. “What?!....Why would I do that?...I can drive myself.” Eva refuted, hesitating to comply with Chris' request. “Don't be stubborn. I'm pretty sure you didn't catch enough sleep last night so you can just take a rest in the car before getting to your destination.” Chris explained. Eva wanted to refuse because the Carters hated Chris, and he would only be berated by them if he accompanied her to work. However, Chris insisted. After staring at him for a long time, Eva had no choice but to give in. She said dejectedly, She rummaged through her bags for the keys and handed it over to Chris. “Just don't drive too slow and waste my time.” She remarked as sh

    At this moment, Eva was feeling regretful that she accepted the challenge to discuss the negotiation with Pegasus Enterprise. Suddenly, the door was pushed open and a receptionist hurriedly ran over. Panting heavily, he exclaimed, “Master Carter, CEO Brown of Pegasus Enterprise is here. He’s waiting in the reception room downstairs!” “What are you certain that it's true, Mr. Elliot Brown? What is he doing here?” Benjamin questioned, utterly astonished by the newest and so were the other Carter “Yes, sir. He is definitely the one.” the secretary confirmed. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and let him in !” Soon, Elliot and accompanied by a few general managers arrived at the conference room. They sighted Chris standing at one corner but they pretended like they never recognized him. Benjamin stepped forward to greet Elliot Brown with an enthusiastic smile, he exclaimed, “Mr. Brown, I'm Benjamin Carter, chairman of the Cross corporation and head of the Carter family. my apologie

    Having signed the contract, Benjamin was extremely pleased but his joy was short-lived when Eric confronted him about signing the contract. “Grandpa, you shouldn't have thoughtlessly signed the contract. This could have been a scheme since no one has actually seen Mr. Brown's signature before.” A disgruntled expression instantly formed on Benjamin's face after hearing the words that Eric uttered. In a fit of anger, he slammed his fist on the table while glaring at Eric. “Shut up, you fool! You didn’t have the guts to step up to carry out this task. Yet, you have the audacity to condemn someone who was actually able to complete it. This is the official seal of Pegasus Enterprise which signifies that this contact is real.” He roared furiously at Eric while pointing at the contract. Although this was the first time the Carter family would collaborate with Pegasus Enterprise, however as a veteran businessman, Benjamin was able to easily recognize him as the Pegasus Enterprise official s

    Since there was nothing left to discuss, Benjamin also exited the conference room and returned back to the Carters' villa in a delightful mood. As all the executives returned to their respective positions, Eric also headed back to his office in a fit of rage. He marched to his desk and swung the pile of documents sitting on the table to vent his pent-up frustration. “I don't believe this is happening right now.” He lamented in annoyance. “You have to remain calm at a time like this.” Brian, who had followed Eric, remarked in a gentle voice. “Calm! Explain to me how I'm supposed to remain calm when Eva has become more influential in a short period of time? Didn't you see how grandfather was looking at her with such a mesmerizing gaze as he appointed her as vice chairman?” Eric lashed out at Brian as he was mentally troubled by the unfavorable result of the conference meeting. He wasn't completely engulfed with rage but he was also afraid that all his efforts to keep Eva beneat

    After the car was parked in the parking lot of the restaurant, the family directly headed into the restaurant with Kate and Eva locking arms together, gisting and giggling as they walked. On the other hand, Chris was pushing Bruce's wheelchair as they walked behind the two women. Inside the restaurant, they occupied a vacant table situated in the center of the room. It was the peak of lunch hour and there were many customers in the restaurant as well as many corporate individuals who usually visit this place to spend their lunchtime. Shortly afterwards, a waiter approaches their table to take their orders. “I can see that you are clearly enjoying yourself very much.” Kate suddenly muttered in a disdainful tone as soon as the waiter left to prepare their orders, sneering at Chris. “You shameless wastrel! All you have been doing is leeching off our family and my daughter's hard work.” She had been utterly irritated as she watched how Chris casually placed his order to the wai

    Sitting next to Eva, Dustin’s eyes lingered closely on her body as he studied the curvaceous figure and smooth milky skin she possessed. She had become even more radiant and beautiful than the last time he had seen her. This ignited his lust emotions making him gulp his saliva down his throat hard. “ I must have her!” Kate remained unbothered about appeasing her daughter. She simply occupied the seat next to Dustin and began bombarding him with questions. “Tell us, since when have you been back in America?” “Oh! I just arrived yesterday. My family thought that I had spent enough in a foreign country and insisted that it was time I returned back to Brooklyn. After all, I have to start learning the ropes of managing the family business.’ “Wow! That is very splendid.” Kate remarked gleefully. “Eva has just been appointed Vice Chairman of Cross Corporation, belonging to our Carter family. In the future, I hope both of you can work together," she said. Dustin’s eyes glistened as he loo

    Why did you hesitate to exchange your contact details with Dustin just now?' Karen immediately queried as soon as Dustin left their table. “Mom, how can you expect me to give a stranger I just met my phone number?" Eva lamented with a pout. “Dustin is no stranger to you! You two have basically known each other for a long time. Besides, he is a very capable young man. I didn’t expect Dustin would be so respectful toward his elders. This sets him apart from those rebellious scions. Hmm, he’s a fine young man unlike others that I know.” Eva was astonished to hear this. “Mom, is there something wrong with you? You shouldn't make such a judgment about a person's character after only meeting them for the first time.” “What do you know? There is absolutely nothing wrong with Dustin. Who cares about a person's character when he is a young scion of a wealthy family? He wears expensive outfits, he is talented and very good-looking as well so what else is there to be bothered about? You would

    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

    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.

    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.
