Soon, the ringing sound of a phone engulfed the room. Gregory realized it was his cellphone and he hurriedly picked up the call when he saw that the caller was his father

“Father….”

“Bastard, where the hell are you right now?! What have you done?! Who the hell did yo y offend today?!” George Jones, the patriarch of the Jones family and Gregory's father yelled through the cell phone.

“What are you saying, father? I was about to report to you that I'm being brutally bullied here.”

“Then just die, you foolish bastard. It is all because of you that our company's stocks are constantly dropping. All our partners are seizing every collaboration with us. At this rate we might eventually declare bankruptcy in the next four hours.”

“What are you saying? I don't understand what is going on.” George muttered in confusion.

“I made some calls to figure out what was happening and all the clues pointed at you. It seems you have offended someone you shouldn't have crossed. I don't care how

    It was a silent drive back home. Even Kate who would usually nitpick on irrelevant matters just for the sake of nagging Chris was very docile. Chris' actions back at the restaurant were a bit of an eye opener for Eva and her parents. They were beginning to have a different perspective about Chris. Before, they were surely convinced that Chris was just a useless son-in-law who would never make any praise worthy achievement because he had always appeared to be simple-minded, non ambitious and he possessed no spectacular quality. As a result, Kate and Bruce never fully acknowledged Chris as their son-in-law because they believed he wasn't a suitable match for Eva. However, they were slowly beginning to rethink their decision after witnessing Chris' dominant behavior at the restaurant. As soon as they arrived back at their residence, Eva immediately went to the bedroom. Chris helped Bruce settle down in the living room. Afterwards, he also climbed the stairs, heading for the bedr

    At this point, Eric's mind became even more determined to have Eva removed from the position of vice chairman she was currently holding. He had spent all day berating himself for not seizing the opportunity to take up the task to seek out the collaboration with Pegasus Enterprise. In addition, he couldn't get over the fact that he was responsible for pushing such a huge opportunity to Eva. However, he realized it was pointless to ponder over that issue as doing that wouldn't do him any favors. The results of his next actions were going to become the determining factor of his fate within the Carter family. Therefore, Eric dropped to the ground kneeling before Benjamin without hesitation. Benjamin's eyes widened in surprise as he was caught off guard by Eric's unexpected action. “What is this all about? What are you doing right now?” He questioned with a curious gaze. “Grandpa, I'm asking you to revoke your order to make Eva the vice chairman of the company.” “Nonsense! Have

    The next morning Eva got out of bed earlier than she normally did. She happily got dressed, preparing herself for work. She was in a cheerful mood as today was the first day she would be resuming as the vice chairman of the family company. She realized that breakfast had already been made and had been served at the table. Even her parents, Bruce and Kate were already seated at the table waiting for her arrival before they began eating. “We have been waiting for you to come down. I made breakfast. You need to have enough stamina on your first day as the Vice Chairman.” Chris said, greeting Eva with a bright smile on his face. Eva was stunned and was touched by the gesture. She wasn't expecting to have breakfast at home since she was leaving for work earlier than she normally did. She had already prepared her mind to catch a burger on her way to work. However, it seems that Chris was thinking about her wellbeing all along and so he must have also woken up earlier to make her br

    It only took thirty minutes to arrive at Cross Corporation. Eva proudly headed straight to the office that was meant for the vice chairman accompanied by Chris. As soon as they both walked into the room they were dismayed to find Eric comfortable seated at the desk when the room was expected to be empty. A frown immediately appeared on Eva's face and she was totally infuriated by the sight before her. “What is the meaning of this, Eric?” She immediately queried “I don't understand what you are talking about.” Eric replied with a taunting grin on his face. “Don't play games with me now. I'm not in the mood and I also don't have the time to tolerate your pranks right now because I've got some important work to handle.” Eva growled. She was growing impatient with Eric’s antics. “Well, I don't think I'm disrupting you from doing your work.” Eric replied as he kept teasing Eva because he was enjoying the frustrated expression on her face. Eva instantly became even more frustra

    Eva and Chris left the Cross Corporation building together and their next destination was the Carter family villa to meet Benjamin. Throughout the journey, Eva didn't say a word but it was clearly evident that she was in despair. As soon as they arrived at the villa, she briskly walked into the building with a desperate look. “Where is my Grandfather?” Eva asked one of the maids she came across. “Good morning, Miss Evangeline. The patriarch is in the living room but you can't go to see him because he is holding a meeting.” The maids replied. Eva headed to the living room, ignoring the maid's words. Arriving at the living room she found Benjamin and a few older members of the Carter family seated on the couches in the living room. There were also a couple bottles of wines and dishes on the table It was more like they were having a small celebration rather than a meeting. “Why are you here, Eva?” Benjamin questioned after Eva made her unexpected entrance. He sneered when he

    Upon their arrival back home, Chris and Eva explained the incident that occurred at the office to both Eva's parents. Bruce and Kate were overwhelmed with frustration. Kate didn't relent in throwing her usual tantrum about Benjamin's biased decision. They had gone to celebrate the good news of Eva being appointed as the vice chairman but now it was meaningless. She had been hoping to live a luxurious life. There was a glimmer of hope for that to happen when Eva was appointed to become the vice chairman but the chance of having that luxurious life she had dreamed of was dead since Eva was no longer the Vice Chairman. Eva could barely keep her sanity at the moment. She was mentally exhausted and depressed. Her body was on the verge of breaking down so she directly went straight up to her room to get some rest. Meanwhile, Chris stepped outside the house after Eva went up to the room. He picked out his cellphone number and dialed Elliot’s phone number. After a few rings the call

    Inside the car, Eric was displeased. He grumbled in dissatisfaction feeling irritated by how they were treated dishonorably at Pegasus Enterprise. As they arrived at the Carter villa, they saw Benjamin and other members of the Carter family waiting in the main hall for their victorious return. As a result, Eric's frustration grew as it was embarrassing to bring a failed report to these people when they expected him to arrive with a paycheck of three billion dollars. The moment they got out of the car, the confettis were popped into the air and everyone jumped into a celebratory mood welcoming Eric in jubilation. “Welcome back, grandson. You’ve done well for the sake of the family. I expect that the negotiation went well.” Benjamin said, addressing both Eric and Brian in an exalted mood. Eric was at a loss for words, not knowing how to explain the situation to Benjamin. Benjamin was very sharp witted and so he easily sensed something amiss judging from the countenance of both his

    Benjamin was extremely anxious. He was currently in a very foul mood but he dared not flare up because he was dealing with the Pegasus Enterprise; the largest business organization in Brooklyn. After Eric left, he called in a servant. “Tell everyone to come here for an emergency meeting!” he ordered. In less than an hour, all the members of the Carter family had arrived at the Carter Villa, except for Eva and her parents and gathered in the main living room. Each one of them was smiling brightly and had an excited expression on their respective faces. They didn't know why Benjamin summoned them all but they had all assumed that they had received good news from Pegasus Enterprise. Unfortunately, none of them were aware of the recent developments regarding Pegasus Enterprise's intention to terminate the contract. They soon realized that something was amiss when they saw the irritated expression on Benjamin’s face as he entered the room. The smile on their faces instantly vanished

    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

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.

    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.
