After the meeting, Director Lloyd rushed his way out of the company. He needed to find a way out of the mess he was in. But, how? All the evidence showed that he was guilty, and the man would be after his head anytime. As he made his way on the street, he noticed a strange man looking at him. He wondered who the person could be assigned to. Was he James's man or the chairman's? He noticed the man was prompting him to follow him. He looked around to see if there were other people following him and noticed none. So, he took the chance to follow the man. In the back alley, Director Lloyd became anxious as he continued to follow the man. As they reached the end, he noticed that there was another person waiting for him as well. "What do you want?" He directly asked annoyedly, as he realized the men in front were James's men. "Director Lloyd, it seems your time has come." "YOU?" Director turned to his back to run away, but his exit route was covered by more men. He looked around and rea
"Director Lloyd, how can I help you?" Victor didn't hesitate to answer the call. He had already predicted the man would dare call him. "Ah, my boy, I'm having a small gathering at my place. My wife heard that you have come back, and she cooked a small meal for you." Director Lloyd was all shaken as he spoke on the phone. He was worried that he might get caught for lying. He didn't dare invite the man personally, as he feared Victor would notice his plan. "A party?" Victor paused for a moment, which caused the man on the other end to be on mute as well. He knew how anxious the man was as he wasn't saying a word at all. A minute passed by, and Victor still hadn't said anything. Director Lloyd was at his peak of anxiety and anxiously made a sound. "Si-Sir?" "Ah, dinner would do then." Victor replied while tapping his finger on his desk. "What?" Director Lloyd didn't expect the man to agree at all. To his surprise, he ended up shouting over the phone and quickly calmed himself down.
Victor got in his car as he made his way to Director Lloyd’s home. While driving, he was busy on the phone with his people, making the necessary preparations. "Hmm, make sure to have everyone ready. Don't let a single person get away." Within a few hours, Victor arrived at his destination. The house was well lit up, as everyone was gathered together enjoying each other's company. Surprisingly, Victor was welcomed by Mrs. Lloyd. However, as he came closer to her, he noticed a strange aura within her. 'Hmm, I see.' Victor thought to himself as he observed the people around him. He noticed some of the staff were indeed invited. Not only that, there were a few unfamiliar people around as well. He noticed the look they were giving him and realized who they were. 'Mercenaries.' "My, it's good to see you again. How long has it been since you last visited our home?" "Dear, he just arrived. We should serve him first and let him eat." Director Lloyd pulled the woman aside as he felt disgus
As the two confronted each other, some of the guests noticed the tense situation and began to panic. "What's happening?" "Is that a gun?" "Everyone, look!" The guests gathered closer to see what was unfolding. As they saw the man holding the gun, fear and confusion spread among them. "Director, what's going on? Why are you pointing a gun at Director James?" "Are you okay? Should we call the police?" Anxious expressions filled the faces of the onlookers, and some took the opportunity to leave, seeking safety. The group of mercenaries James had hired also panicked. They hadn't anticipated things spiraling out of control like this. They had only been tasked with ensuring the man's demise if the director missed his shot, but now they found themselves in a precarious situation with witnesses around. "What do we do?" "Stay put, wait for the boss's orders." Director Lloyd, overwhelmed by emotion, aimed the gun at James with trembling hands. He couldn't believe that he was now face-
The hired mercenaries attempted to make their escape, but they were intercepted by men waiting outside, leaving them no chance to flee. Caught off guard, they looked at each other anxiously, realizing they were captured. In the midst of the confusion, even the employees present at the party were apprehended. Since it was unclear who was involved in the incident, they would need to be questioned. Fake Mrs. Lloyd tried to run but was caught immediately. Filled with panic and fear, she confessed to her crimes without anyone having to say a word, revealing everything in front of everyone. Victor's men had already prepared for the situation, covering all possible exits, making escape impossible for anyone. As a gunshot rang out, Edward rushed inside, alerted by the sound. He saw his master had been shot and hurriedly ran to him. "Master, are you alright?" Edward anxiously checked the wound, relieved to find that it was just a scrape and not serious. Victor pushed Edward aside as he ch
Victor rushed to the hospital to check on the director's condition. When he arrived, his men were all waiting outside the operating room, still unsure of the situation. "How is he?" "None of the doctors have come out yet; we don't know. They said he lost quite a lot of blood." "Question those mercenaries earlier; if they continue to shut their mouths, just kill them." It was because of them that things went wrong. If they hadn't gotten involved, he wouldn't have been shot, nor would the director be in such a situation. He was angry, thinking he had failed to keep his promise. He had promised to keep him safe and protect him. How would he face everyone now? "Sir, you should get checked." Edward, who was standing by, hesitated as he noticed how furious the man looked. He didn't even tell him right away that he should get his wound patched, as he looked like a demon on the verge of destroying everything. "Ah, get a nurse." Edward hurriedly went to look for a nurse. However, none o
The next day, Victor is busy himself preparing for what's to happen tomorrow. As Watcher didn't specifically say what it could be. He made sure to take all the necessary precautions. "Victor, what is going on?" Nicholas asked as he chased after the man who had come to their house even before the sun could rise. "Just have more guard with you guys all the time." Victor replied as he checked the house and asked for the servants to line up. "I know all of you, we've known each other for too long. If you dare do something behind my back, better say it now." Each of the servants looked at each other dumbfoundedly. They couldn't understand why the man was acting so strangely, so early in the morning. They thought for a second thinking maybe it has to do with the director's betrayal. "Sir, did we do something wrong?" Victor clenched his fist because he was worried he was suspecting everyone around him. The servants in front of him had served his father before him. His father trusted each
It was finally the day Victor had been anxiously anticipating. He looked as if he hadn't slept for days. "Kid, are you alright?" Nike decided to follow the kid around. He was anxious about what was going to happen, so he became restless and decided to watch over Victor. He increased the whole family's security team and made sure everyone was on the lookout. Despite all the preparation, he couldn't explain why he was so frightened. "I'm fine, but it seems you're the one not looking fine." Nike didn't reply; the boy caught on to him. He was indeed worried and didn't know what to do. "Hey, kid, are you still not sure what sort of danger we will be facing?" "If I knew, then I wouldn't be this worried." When the two of them arrived at the hospital, they found James waiting outside the director's room, as Victor instructed not to let anyone in apart from the medical staff. "Ah, Sir, you're here. Perfect timing, I came to inquire about how the director is doing?" "He's fine." Victor
