2023-03-18 11:54:33After eating ang some retouching, Jessica and Vincent went down the lobby to eat some lunch. Although Jessica is still full because of the heavy breakfast she ate earlier, they still need to blend in. She is still surprised, though. Because despite having some rough hands when it comes to fighting and stuff, Vincent has an incredible touch when it comes to cooking. He is the best compared to the cooking of his sister—which sometimes end up in a disaster. One time, Violet was cooking dinner at HQ, she ended up burning one floor of the HQ because of that. It’s not that she is insulting the cooking of her captain, but yes, Vincent is much greater cook than Violet. No wonder he is loved by his family. The two are now at the dining are. The aroma of high-end food hit Vincent’s nose. And even though he just ate breakfast and is practically full, his digestive system somehow increased and his food earlier got digested quickly. They sat down at the middle of the dining area and all of a sudden, the bosses from last night sat next to them,
“Good morning, newbies. How’s your day at this fantastic place?” Pedro asked.
“Did you have a good night’s sleep?” Yuji followed.
“Yes, indeed. The accommodation is top tier. No wonder this is some kind of haven! It’s wonderful. I might visit again sometime when I had the time when I am not busy in my coming business.” Vincent replied.
As they were talking, a waiter came and asked for their orders,
“I’ll have the best steak in your kitchen, please.” Vincent says.
The others ordered the same thing but different cooks. Vincent is fond of a well-done steak, so that’s what he ordered.
“Anyway, since you’re an up-and-coming business. Having more investments can guarantee your future in the underworld. Drugs is a great start. But having firearms and all sorts of illegal stuff can make you through,” Agatha says.
“I have the biggest firearm factory in my city, it’s illegal of course. I’ve been supplying prisons weapons to start wars and have some breakouts. Agatha here and her business excels in making explosives. And Yuji, party drugs. So, since we’re new friends, we’ll give you an offer you can’t decline.” Pedro smiled as he looked at the others.
“Invest 50 million to all of us, and your future in the underworld business would be secured. And with us as your connections, I guarantee you, it will be as easy as hell!” Yuji pointed out as a smirk was revealed in the face of the other boss.
Blend in. Even though Vincent doesn’t want to spend 150 million GAMs in this mission like that, he has to.
“Okay, give me your accounts and I’ll send the money—”
“No! We don’t do that way. Transactions like that is from the old age. Cash. That’s what it is when it comes to transactions nowadays. Cold cash!” Agatha laughed.
Vincent laughed with them. But Jessica is unsure of this decision. For her, it is somewhat reckless and dangerous. Vincent’s money is not guaranteed to return, since their squad will only cover the entrance they’ve paid and not the other expenses they will make during the mission. Besides, Vincent is the youngest and 12th son of the Miles household, his inherited money from their companies might not be that high.
“Okay, let’s meet at the VIP lounge at 1 later. I’ll give the investment money.” Vincent smiled.
“Now, we’re talking!”
They all laughed. After eating their lunch, Vincent and Jessica went out to withdraw some cash from the bank.
“It’s reckless. I’m telling you. 150 million?! Are you crazy? Spending that kind of money makes me think that you are not used to be a noble!” Jessica argued while they walked.
“Yes, you’re right. I’m not used to be a noble. Which is a great thing. Since I only want to become a noble in blood not in attitude and morals. I’m a hero, that’s what I am right now. And being a noble is just extra credit for me. In any case, I have to withdraw—”
“No, I will be the one to withdraw. I have more money than you, you know.” Jessica grinned.
Vincent chuckled,
“Showoff. Now, the bank, take of your disguise and go in there. Let’s go in this alley first.” Vincent instructed as they then went inside this dark alley.
Vincent then covered themselves with his earth powers and asked Jessica to take off her clothes so that they can proceed. But the awkwardness kicks in. Jessica is a woman and Vincent is a young man. It’s inappropriate.
“Turn around for me, will ‘ya?” Jessica scolded.
Vincent nodded and then turned around. However, as Jessica begins to undress. Vincent remembered that he has advanced vibration senses. And those vibration senses help him visualize things without even seeing them. So, as Jessica changes clothes, Vincent can see her body so vivid that he wants to shrink. He doesn’t want Jessica to find out about this power. It’s embarrassing and he will turn out to be a pervert. Vincent’s skin tingled as he then felt those things jiggle. He turned red and his heart raced.
“Shit.” He thought to himself as his little junior is now having a standing ovation.
“What are you doing?” Jessica asked as she puts on her hero costume.
“Nothing! Just hurry up and let’s go.” And by accident—by sheer misfortune.
Vincent turned around to see the naked body of a changing woman in front of him.
“Fuck!” Vincent cursed.
And without any hesitation, Jessica blasted him with her water powers. Vincent hits the wall he created and bleed immediately. Thankfully, his makeup didn’t get washed off, which is why he is still thankful. He stood up and apologized for the misunderstanding. And now, Vincent is instantly labeled as a pervert.
After changing and some arguments, the two went to the bank with Jessica wearing her hero clothes. A lot of people greeted her on her way.
As the two entered the bank, Violet received word that the two are roaming the streets.
“What are they doing?!” Violet yelled as she watched the two enter the bank with the street cameras.
“They must have something in plan. You know our brother, Vi. He must be the one that forced Jessica to do this based on her expression. In any case, I hope this plan of Vincent works out. And if it’s the bank they are going, money is being involved in this mission, and fast!”

With the two heroes already inside the bank, their main purpose will now take place.“I would like to make a withdrawal.” Jessica calmly demanded to the bank teller.“Name, please.” The teller says.“Jessica Parker, Noble section.” Jessica replied.The lady teller was surprised, as this is the first she will be handling a noble class transaction.“Please head to the VIP room. The manager will be there shortly with you, thank you.”Jessica also thanked the teller as the two of them went on their way to the VIP room which is at the end of the hall and near the entrance to the vaults. They entered the room and sat down on the couch. After a few minutes of waiting, the manager of the bank arrives and sat across them,“Miss Parker, or should I say, future Mrs. Phoenix.” The old man says with a smiled on his face.“Harold, stop with it. There are a few months before our wedding, don’t rush things.” Jessica says as she shared a laugh with the manager.“How much are you going to withdraw now?

After getting the money, the two went to the VIP section of the gambling center where the bosses are waiting for them. Vincent placed the briefcase on a coffee table and the bosses opened it. They divided the money for them 3 and they were oh-so-happy to hold 50 million GAMs in that instant.“The investment is secured. Please give us the address of your place and we will—”“No, bring it up to my room. Even if I trust you, confiding the exact location of my business will have my privacy be invaded. I hope you understand.” Vincent replied.“Oh, sure! Good thinking. In case there’s a betrayal, there won’t be anything that would lead your enemy to your place. Great thinking of your first defensive strategy.” Yuji says.“In any case, the products will be given to my room, thanks for the smooth transaction. Until our next negotiation.” Vincent then shook the hands of the bosses one by one.Jessica and Vincent then went back to their room to think of their next move. According to Jessica, th

“Are you stupid, huh?! You just got us in a predicament! Do you actually think that the others would be dumb and just assume that Pedro left? What kind—”“Don’t worry, everything is planned from the beginning. I will not do that if I had no precautions. Trust me, I fried the cameras from the inside. Every single one of ‘em.” Vincent assured Jessica who is now freaking out.Who wouldn’t be? Vincent just took down one of the most infamous criminals in the world and cut his head like that, his men will definitely take action. Not to mention the fact that the two of them are in an important mission right now. So, one mishap, and everything is over. And what Vincent did is something what an idiot would do. His reasoning of doing it is correct, he just served justice, however, because of that they are put into a tight spot and Jessica couldn’t even think of something to make an excuse of Pedro’s disappearance. It is because of what Vincent did, they are going to make the other bosses suspic

Vincent and Jessica went back to their suite and what Four-Eyes did not expect, as soon as he closed the door, Jessica jumped on him and hugged him tight. His back slammed on the door behind him. Jessica was shrieking in joy,“You’re a genius, Vincent! You truly are!” Jessica celebrated.Vincent turned red. Not because he is suffocating, but because this is the first time a girl is this close to him. Not to mention the fact that he has a…that adds up to his excitement. Jessica finally let go and just jumped around the room happily.“If others were to handle this mission, we wouldn’t get this far—”“We can’t be sure, Jessica. Fast-paced actions tend to have terrible consequences. However, I am just happy that my plans worked out. I didn’t expect us to be that close with the other bosses, and I only ever planned on doing these burning cameras act, but with us being close to them, it just gave me more ideas on how to pull this act off. Now, off to our next ones.” Vincent replied.Jessica
VINCENT MILES: AND THE FIST OF FIRE BOOK 3 CHAPTER 25: THE SHOWER!
“Well, in a ball you have to wear nice and fancy clothes. It will be like you looking more—” a long pause came from Jessica as she looked at Vincent from head to toe, “noble-ish.” She sighed.Vincent knows what she meant. He never really looked like a noble, and it is appearing that he isn’t one at that. He prefers normal clothes, like blending in the community or some sort. He never really wanted to wear fancy clothes. Well, he literally spent 10 years in the mountains wearing nothing but short and tattered shirts that are sometimes itchy.“Isn’t a coat and some slacks enough to look noble-ish?” Vincent asked.“No. Of course not! You’re a handsome guy, a lot in our squad are heads-over-heels on you, and wearing fancy clothes will double that—” Jessica then coughed as she turned red and then looked away from Vincent’s face, “Anyway, we need to find clothes, fast!”“We have plenty of time, I think. The ball is tonight—”“Which means we have to move fast!”“But—” Vincent was about to ar

Felt traumatized? No. Felt embarrassed? A little. But the thing is, Vincent had the time of his life in that shower with Jessica. It was never his intention to do so, but his instincts forced him to sense every part of her body even though it is against his will. He will never tell Jessica that he just sensed that, as he respected her. Both of them changed into their ball clothes while Vincent is as red as a tomato. Even though they have a very important mission, he can’t get that situation out of his head.Jessica then helped Vincent with his necktie since he really doesn’t know how to. After spending all those years in the mountains, really. He felt like a caveman, which he is close to one in that place. In any case, as Vincent is being assisted, his eyes twitched, and he felt uncomfortable. Like all of a sudden, he felt this tug of foreboding in his stomach, making him feel sick.“What’s wrong?” Jessica asked. “Is it too tight?”“No. It’s just that…I felt uncomfortable all of a sud

The fact that Vincent has felt the same heartbeat that Arthur Phoenix, has. No. It really was Arthur Phoenix, there is no doubt about that. The heartbeat, the way it beats, and the way it resonates with Arthur’s own personality. It’s him. Vincent suddenly felt a tugging-like sensation in his stomach. It may him anxious. Even with the mask and all the disguise, the heart never lies. Everyone stood up to applaud the one at the balcony, but Vincent just stood there, dumbfounded. After all the applause, Arthur raised his hand, and everyone went silent.“Good evening, my dear guests!” Arthur greeted. “I know that this event was out of the blue, but I just want all my guests to enjoy this evening staying in my gambling center. So, enjoy your drinks and night! Enjoy your stay also! Cheers!”As he raised his glass, everyone followed. Vincent noticed that when Arthur was speaking, it seems that he is using something to alter his voice. Of course, he’d do that, he is an important figure in the

Vincey? Well, that’s new. Normally, Vincent is used being called as Freddie, Fred, Four-Eyes, Loser, or anything else that his siblings or the others have called him. But now, Vincey, that’s new. However, the new name didn’t bother him as much as the real question. Does Vincent love Jessica? What the hell would he reply to that question. Yes, he had this kind of crush on her, but love? He didn’t know what to answer. Even though both of them are drunk, she was waiting for an answer. The question didn’t come out of a drunken state, it was meant. Vincent can feel that she is flustered not because of the alcohol, but about the question. The fact that they are now in a middle of a mission, a deadly one at that, he really doesn’t know what to respond. “So, about this meeting. What do you think would happen?” Vincent asked.The rush of disappointment surged through her body. She looked down on her bottle and started to play with it.“Don’t know. We weren’t invited even when you said that o

Four-Eyes!” Anthony greeted.“Captain.” Vincent saluted his captain.The three guards then went to stand in front of the door. Vincent glanced to his left to see that Ian and David are sitting on the couch, also drinking their coffee as they read through the reports of the day,“Sit, please.” Asked the captain.Vincent sat on a chair across the table. He was nervous. He didn’t know what the captain would say or what punishment he would be given. But he sat there, has this strong and solid r

And of course, Victor teased Violet about what Vincent has done to her, the two started bickering but Victor was just laughing all through their conversation,“I just can’t believe that you mouthed your sister like that, Vincent!” Victor chuckled as he made his way through his steak.“That is not funny! If Vincent were to disrespect you like that, Victor, would you still be laughing about it now?!” Violet answered.“I won’t be laughing. But I’ll be proud!” Victor laughed.It was rare to see him laugh like this, as he is always the serious and strict one, being the eldest son and first born and all,“Proud?” Romeo asked.“Well, I can see that my younger brother has his own ideology and values to uphold. That’s something to be proud of.

I wasn’t lying, and even Francine vouched for my honesty.”“Francine is enraged with Arthur! Of course she’d side with you, you’re also her friend! Jessica went home, I gave her a week vacation! She was devastated! Do you even know the weight of what you’ve just done?” she continued.James and Angela arrived, and they were calming Violet down,“You humiliated me! You showed my squad members that I can be disobeyed by my own brother and can’t hold authority against a mere commander! Do you know how much it would hurt my prestige as a captain? Have you had any idea of what you did?!”“Violet, what I said was true. I will not lie. It was Arthur Phoenix who operating the gambling c

An hour has passed, and Vincent is back in the Miles Manor. There, in his room, he woke up with a severe headache. He raised his hands to his face and there he could see at least fifty fingers,Vincent swallowed, “Yep, I’m drunk.”He then rose up to his feet with his head still throbbing tremendously. He stretched a little and with one will of his, his headache was gone. He re-activated his healing abilities, and it took away the pain that instantly. Vincent then went down to the kitchens to cook something up. Luckily, the kitchen was always filled with supplies, so, he cooked up a pot of simmered beef and potatoes along with some shrimp and mushroom soup. He was still yawning as he cooked.An hour later, carrying the pots, he went to the main dining room to see that his father was sitting at his usual seat and was reading the newspaper,“Good morning, Dad.” Vincent greeted as he placed the pots on the middle of the table.Some of the maids went to bring him bowls and some utensils,“

As Vincent exited the room, he did not expect that the press would be there, eavesdropping. He did not know how they gained access deep into this part, but he did not care. They heard everything. There’s no doubt about that, but he walked firmly and turned his back on them. Some tried to run in pursuit of him, but he disappeared in a blink of an eye. Back in the conference room, a woman from the Amazonian shut the door once more. Jessica sobbed and collapsed on a chair that Vincent was sitting on.“Sis,” Francine who wants to deliver some comforting words stopped herself.“I apologize for our brother’s behavior, Jessica. Don’t be affected by it.” Violet patted Jessica gently on the back.She then looked at Angela who knew what she meant.

And one of those connections is apparently the President of the world. That is a direct connection, not some puny ones. With that reveal, the whole room was rendered silent. They dared not to speak. But the person who is most stunned by this is Jessica, his fiancé,“Vincent, what are you talking about?” Violet asked as she stood up.“You heard me. Arthur Phoenix is the mastermind of the operations of the gambling center and may be behind some of the most notorious crimes in the world. This is not a speculation or a hunch, it’s the truth.” Vincent then proceeded to tell them how he came up with this conclusion.Him in the vents, overhearing, sensing, and determining, he is confident of his reveal,“Vincent, you know quite well who Mr. Phoenix is.
