Today was important for all the employees at Pegasus Enterprise because the new chairman was arriving for the first time today. As a result, every security officer was resolved to make sure everything was in order.

 The security guard had a shocked expression on his face when he saw what happened. As soon as he saw the bleeding car driver he recognized him as the son of Pegasus Enterprise general manager, Mark Collins 

 “Sir Mark, are you alright?” in a concerned tone the guards hurriedly rushed to help Mark get back to his feet.

 “Where the hell have you idiot been?” Mark groaned while covering his bleeding nose.

 Being scolded by Mark made The security guard frown. He fixed his furious gaze at Chris, seeing how poorly dressed he was in cheap outfits gave the security officer the free pass to look down on him and shouted, “What do you think you’re doing? How dare you cause a ruckus on Pegasus Enterprise ground?! Apologize to sir, Mark right this instant?”

 “Shouldn't you be asking me what happened before judging who's at fault?” Chris remarked.

 “I don't have to waste my time asking such a useless question. It is clearly obvious that you assaulted sir, mark first.” The security guards ignorantly lashed out at Chris as he was obviously making a biased judgment by taking Mark's side. Why did you have to come on a day like this to cause a ruckus.” He lamented.

 Mark pointed at Chris. “ I suspect that this man has sinister thoughts and is here to intentionally cause trouble for us today. I hope the security department will fulfill its duties. Otherwise, don’t blame me for docking your salary! Also, the newly appointed chairman of the company will be coming to the office today. If you don’t receive him properly, you’ll lose more than just your salary. Do you understand?”

 After all, Mark was the head of the Human Resource department of the Pegasus Enterprise and the general manager's son as well so he had a significant amount of authority.

 The security officer knew that this was a serious matter as well. Looking at the burly and tall Chris, he was worried that he might not be able to stop him alone, so he hurriedly reported the situation over his radio. Soon, the captain of the security team made his way over with more than ten fully-armed security officers.

 “Hmph!” Mark raised his chin smugly at Chris. “I told you that I was going to make you regret hitting me.” 

 At that moment, his cellphone began ringing and he hurriedly picked it up when he saw it was his father, the general manager calling him.. “Hello father,”

 “Brat! Where the hell are you right now? I just got word that the CEO would be arriving in five minutes. I told you to arrive early today. “

 “Dad, I've already arrived but I got assaulted at the parking lot.” Mark lamented 

 “What?!.....Which bastard dare to lay a hand on you on the company ground?! Are you alright?!” the general manager asked in a frantic voice. “Where are the security officers?”

 “I'm just bleeding in the nose and the security guards just arrived. They are going to take care of him so I'll be heading inside now.” Mark explained.

 “Good, tell them to break that bastard leges and arms.” 

 Mark hung up the call. “It's a shame I won't be able to watch you get beat up.” He said sneering at Chris. “I'll leave him to you. The CEO would soon arrive so get rid of him before then!” He instructed before walking away into the building.

 “Sir, I'm going to ask you to leave now or will be forced to throw you out of the premises.”. the head of security addressed Chris in a stern voice.

 “I can’t leave because I still have unfinished business here. Besides, none of you have the authority to throw me out.’

 The head of security officers laughed. “A pauper like you can’t possibly be here at the Pegasus Enterprise to sign a contract. It would be wise for you to comply with our terms or don't blame us for using violence against you.”

 Chris snorted coldly. “It seems like my expectations of Pegasus Enterprise were too high after all. This place is filled with many fools that need to be educated.”

 “What did you say?!” Hearing Chris' words, the head of security flew into a rage and waved his hand at the security officers around him. “You dare insult Pegasus Enterprise. Since you are tired of living l, I'll make sure to give you the education you deserve. Hit this arrogant bastard and throw him out!!”

 The security officers immediately surrounded Chris 

 At this moment, a shining brown Bentley sedan car drove into the parking lot. The security guards' hearts skidded as this car was the designated vehicle that was assigned to transport the new CEO to the company.

 Shortly afterward, the intimidating figure of a young man stepped out of the vehicle.

 The security guards quickly recognized this man as the new CEO of Pegasus Enterprise, Elliot Brown, whose arrival they had all been expecting. 

 All the guards at the parking lot abandoned Chris and bowed their heads to greet Elliot. “Welcome to Pegasus Enterprise, Mr. Brown. We have been expecting your arrival sir.

 When Elliot saw the group of people bowing in front of him, his eyes widened in surprise when he saw Chris but no one could see the shock in his eyes since he was wearing sunshades. Ignoring the security guards, he directly walked towards the group in hurried steps with his gaze fixed on Chris.

 As soon as he arrived in front of Chris, he took off his glasses and bowed deeply. “Mr. Chairman, you are already here. Forgive me for my tardiness. I should have arrived here before you and should be the one welcoming you instead.” he said in an apologetic tone.

    The security guards were taken aback by Elliot’s action and wondered if he had gone senile. Although they hadn't met the chairman yet but they believed he couldn't be Chris who was dressed as a poor beggar.“Mr. Brown, I think you're mistaken. This person isn't the chairman. He's just a hoodlum causing trouble in our company and we were just about to chase him out.” The head of security tried to explain.A frown immediately appeared on Elliot’s face. He raised back up and kicked the head of the security guards on his knees. “Fool! How dare you call the Chairman a hoodlum. Do you wish to die! Is this how you morons have been running this company all along?” He yelled.All the security officers instantly froze in shock as if a bucket of cold water had just been dropped on them. Was this person truly the chairman? The same person whom they were about to beat up.It was a situation that was hard to believe but seeing Elliot’s reaction they all couldn't help but believe that he was speaking

    Initially, they had assumed that the company now belonged to the Brown family since they were sending a member of their family to manage the operation of the company.

This is person surely can't be the chairman.” Anthony said with a scoff and continued speaking. “He is just a lowly scum that trespassed into our compound and dated to assault our employees.

If there's any thrash that needs to be thrown out it's both you and your son!” Elliot shouted and turned to look at security officers. “Get rid of them and make sure that they don't ever step foot into this company again.” He declared without mercy.Anthony felt like a bucket of cold water was dropped

    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.” Elliot was flustered a

    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

    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. Gunfire lit up the night as Chris led the assault, his movements a blur of lethal efficiency.

    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

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.
