Silence enveloped the 17th floor at the Miracle's Group head branch. Christian stared at the mighty figure before him and didn't say a word as he calmly waited for them to answer the question he asked."So… Do you think you can do it?" He asked, again and there were sighs and shrugs from everyone."If you want us to take over the underground… that will require a lot of time and resources. The generals are always ready for battles and execution of tasks but then…" The one with the Red mask that resembled a star said. One couldn't see who they were and their voices were altered by the mask. It was made with advanced technology so you can't identify the person who wore it."But then what?" Christian asked. The person looked as though he was hesitant to say the word but when he noticed the gaze from the remaining figures in the room, he couldn't help but sigh heavily then said."This task isn't what the generals are meant to do but we can appoint them to each region and make them the un
"Hum?""Hi," A soft voice sounded which was then followed by a light chuckle."What are you doing here all alone?" The voice asked."What do you want?" Christian ask ited coldly then looked away from the person seated him."Come on, don't shush me away like that,'' the person pouted."I already told Stanley to Inform you that I won't attend the events, so what is it this time around?" He frowned and from his voice alone you could hear that he was obviously irritated."Fine. I am sorry but I truly didn't come here because of you. In Fact I came here with my friends but they all went for the yacht party and left me behind, so I decided to find a bar nearby and have a few drinks before I return home," She sighed heavily then signaled the young lady the serve her drink and which she nodded and left the place.At the same time, Christian didn't flinch even when he heard what she said and that look on his face screams that he wanted to be left alone. He wasn't interested in any conversation
Christian stared at her for a while then sighed heavily."Hello Stanley, where are you?" He asked the instant the call connected."Oh, I drove the car to refill the fuel. Are you done sir?" He asked and one could hear the noise in the background."Yes, I guess. When will you be here?" He asked then there was silence for a while before Stanley finally said."I think by 10 minutes from now," He replied and Christian's eyes widened slightly in surprise."You must have gone somewhere far," He muttered then said,"No problem about that. I'll be waiting," "Okay sir, thank you," Stanley said the Christian hung up the call."Today was supposed to be fun," He muttered then sighed heavily. "When last did I have fun? I've been busy lately," He muttered"Where do you think your drive can be by this_" He paused as the person who stood before him before was no where in sight. "_Time? Alice!" He yelled the shoved his phone inside his pocket as he started looking for her."Alice?" He called out agai
"I don't really know who she is but she is someone that has enough status to harm the lady over there," "That was what he said," Christian muttered as he placed his phone in his pocket and stared at the fast moving images outside.A few minutes ago, during the time Christian was questioning the man. The bar lady arrived with police behind her as she had heard about the streams and grunts and when they saw the bloody scene they couldn't help but worry that one of them had a gun with them."Please you have to follow us to the station and give a report about this incident," One of the policeman said and Christian nodded."That should be alright, but that lady over there is drunk and this men tried to force their way on… her. I am sure one of them have a weapon with them," He said with a calm and collected look on his face and when the hoarse man heard what he said he couldn't help but vomit blood."You!" He yelled angrily but the cold glare Christian sent at him caused him to shrink bac
There was silence for a while and everywhere turned awfully quiet. Christian's cold and indifferent gaze stared intensely at the petite figure with a cute face in front of him and the same goes for the lady.Her huge doe eyes stared at Christian with a surprised look on her face but when she saw his cold and different gaze, she gasped and quickly looked away."Oh dear. Christian meet Precious. She is my newly appointed personal assistant and she is an African-American. Hey Precious this is Christian," Alice introduced the duo with a forced smile on her face as she didn't expect Precious to meet them in such awkward situation.Christian stared at the woman in front of him for a while then nodded in acknowledgement then looked away."Mm… Ma'am, I already signed the documents and has given it to them." Precious said with a soft smile on her face."That's good. You can look for a better sit and watch the event," Alice said the lady nodded then turned to leave but not after she shot a glan
"The time we all have been waiting for is finally here. It will be an honor for this organization to present the Emperor's award to the one very bigshot in this house. The reason why this prize is called the Emperor's award is simply because this organization is one that is strong enough to feed a country. Please welcome me as I call upon the CEO of…" The host said then kept quiet and everyone couldn't help but be on edge on their seats, well it was most of them.Harry stared at everyone who seemed nervous for the announcement then shook his head and stared at the host with an arrogant look on his face."Since the Figiolo got the Grand prize. It isn't shocking to know the fact that my company will be the one to take the emperor's prize," Harry said with a smirk on his face. His assistant stared at him for a while then frowned and said."Sir, our income can't feed a country," He interrupted his thoughts and Harry frowned and flashed him a look of displeasure."Will you stop talking non
"You are disgusting, when will you learn, you this disgusting bigger, I bet you will leave her also once you reap off her money, who let a poor beggar like you enter, the security aren't doing their job,they should have thrown you out of this place." Stephanie said with disgust evident in her voice, turning to Alice, "He will leave you after he exploit money from you; leave him now before you regret it later, or I won't be surprised if you go broke later." Stephanie said coldly. People directed their gaze to Christian. Christian seemed unmoved by Stephanie's harsh words. "Is he really a gold digger?I really can't believe this. He dressed well and he looked so nice. I even envied Alice because she has a good looking partner," someone said from the crowd. "He is really disgusting,how dare a beggar like him act like one of us." "You have a pretty face, though; how about I be your sugar mummy for tonight," a lady said, and everyone busted into laughter except Alice. "Don't mind her, y
Silence took over as Christian held the phone and placed it on his left ear."Oho! Who do we have here? I thought you wouldn't pick the call," A cold baritone voice sounded from the phone which was then followed by a soft sigh."When will you return to the underworld and challenge me? I've been waiting far too long don't you think?" The voice continued without a care In the world. He didn't bother to hear if the person that picked the call was Christian or not."Anyways, bye. I'll be waiting for you in the Vertice of Gods. Maybe by then we can have a little chat about life, adios!" He said then hung up the call. Christian stood there for a while , his brain tried to register what just happened and it took him a few seconds to realize that the call had ended.He stared at the caller's ID then tried to call the number but all he got was that the number doesn't exist."Which old man is trying to play a prank on me?" He muttered, his brows furrowed slightly then he shook his head and shov
