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
James just returned to his high-end apartment when his phone rang. "Are you sure?" "Yes, we saw all the doctors running toward the room." The man just received news of what had just happened with the director. He didn't expect the man to die naturally; he thought either he or the kid would kill him. "You only saw them, how sure are you that he is indeed dead?" "We saw Nike questioning the kid on what he did inside; it seems Nike suspects the kid killed the man." "Victor actually killed the director? What makes you say that?" "He was smiling when he came out; we don't really know exactly what happened." "Fine, keep me posted on what's happening." James ended the call and started laughing in delight at the news he just received. He was so happy that he was at the point of jumping around and shouting. "Now, all I need is to find those two." Since the account he sent the money to was a shared account of the director and his wife, he needed to find the woman to transfer all the f
A few days passed, and it was finally the funeral of Director Lloyd. Most of the shareholders and staff were there to pay their respects. "To think the Chairman is here despite what happened." "I heard the director tried to kill the Chairman and Director James." "Shh... Be quiet; Nicholas and the president are here as well. Don't forget they are close friends." Not a single one of the director's family nor in-laws were there. They felt embarrassed by the news they received. "Victor?" Fred walked closer to comfort his friend; however, it seemed futile as he saw how absent-minded Victor was. When he received the news, he couldn't believe what he was hearing. He felt like everything was going out of control. "Man, you need to stop blaming yourself. This isn't your fault." Yet, Victor said not a single word in response. Fred felt angry with the situation. He wanted to comfort his friend; he wanted to save the director, yet things didn't go according to plan. His gaze turned to Jam
