Vengence's Odyssey Chapter sixteen
Far away, in another country, a grand mansion stood on the outskirts of San Francisco. A burly man, his face marred by a long scar, sat majestically on his sofa, his eyes fixed on the news playing on the screen. In his left hand, he held a token that resembled a phoenix and a wyrm, its wings spread wide, as if about to take flight. There was a fierce aura surrounding the man, and he looked every bit as ruthless and powerful as the token he held behind him was a woman dressed in a tight leather jacket and shorts.The man's living room was opulent, decorated with ancient works of art and expensive antiques. The walls were covered in silk tapestries, and a large, ornate fireplace sat in the center of the room. In the corner, a grand piano sat, its ebony surface gleaming in the light. The whole room was full of luxurious comforts, and it was clear that the man who lived there was a person of great wealth and status. It was obvious that he came from an old, powerful martial arts family.

The day after the incident, the atmosphere at work was tense, and Stanley felt like he couldn't even breathe properly.The ride to the office was silent. Christian barely said a word, and Stanley felt like he wasn't even in the car.When they pulled up to the office, Christian got out of the car and headed towards his office.As soon as he got to his desk, he saw a pile of documents waiting for his signature and evaluation.He sighed heavily, knowing that it was going to be a long day.But just when he was about to get to work, Stanley walked in and informed him that there was a Board meeting being held."How come?" Christian frowned, as he hadn't heard of any meetings being scheduled for that day."It was supposed to be in your schedule this morning, but I mixed things up," Stanley said, his eyes downcast and his posture submissive.Christian let out a frustrated sigh, knowing there was nothing he could do to change the situation."I'm sure you've had a lot on your plate this week,"

The silence in the room was palpable as the board members considered what Christian had said. Finally, one of them nodded. "We're in agreement, then.""If there's nothing more to discuss, let's end things here. If you will excuse me," Christian said then got up.He turned to leave, but just as he reached the door, his phone started to vibrate. He took it out of his pocket and saw the name on the screen. He hesitated, then put the phone on silent and slipped it back into his pocket. With a nod to the board members, he left the room.As Christian walked out of the boardroom, Stanley followed close behind him, his face expressionless. When they reached Christian's office, he took out the documents he was going to sort through, but as he was about to start, he felt a buzz in his pocket."I thought I switched it off?" He muttered he pulled out his phone and saw that it was a text message. He frowned, not recognizing the number. When he opened the message, he saw that it was from Alice, as

Christian stood in silence for a moment as he considered his options. The bronze card wouldn't give him much time to explore, but the platinum card was far more expensive. He wanted to make sure he made the right choice.Finally, he said, "I'll take the platinum card." He pulled out his wallet and retrieved his black card, decorated with intricate golden patterns. He offered it to the woman, but she seemed frozen in place, as if unable to move.After a moment, she snapped out of her trance and reached for the card, a look of doubt flashing in her eyes. Was the card a fake? She glanced up at Christian, her expression unreadable. "You're sure about this?" she asked, her voice low.Christian gave her a reassuring smile. "Yes, I'm sure. It's worth the price."The woman's eyes narrowed slightly, but she didn't say anything more. She took the card from him and processed the payment, her movements slow and deliberate. 'What?' Her eyes widened in shock as the transaction of $2,000,000 succ

"I am sure of it," He muttered, still trying to remember where he had seen her before. Meanwhile the men in the hall all whistled at her dance moves and couldn't help but sihn in admiration and spray her money as she fluent her skills before them.Christian's thoughts were broken slightly by the waitress who served him the food he ordered and before he saw the meal the sweet aroma had already assaulted his brain. He looked down only to see the freshly cooked meal before him.Then beside it was the red wine he had ordered and a glass was placed beside it. The waitress without being told opened the bottle and poured the wine inside the glass and the strong scent of wine filled the air."This is good," Christian commented then picked the fork wrapped neatly beside the plate then duged it into the food. …"I hope you enjoy your meal sir," She bowed respectfully then left the place so as not to disturb the customer. Christian noted her behavior then turned towards the woman who was still

A hush fell over the hall after Christian's statement. The manager, who had been standing by the entrance, burst into laughter, as if he had just heard the most hilarious joke in the world. Christian simply stared at him, his expression calm and unreadable."Is this a joke?" the manager asked, still laughing. "Are you trying to make a fool of me?""No, I'm not," Christian said, his voice steady. "I'm quite serious."Raymond, who was standing next to Christian, shot him a look of disgust."Sir, permit me to send him out of here," Raymond said but the manger raised his right hand to shut him up. Seeing this Raymond couldn't help but step back in shame."You're serious?" the manager asked, finally regaining his composure. He looked around the hall, as if to gauge the reaction of the other guests. "You're really serious about this?""I am," Christian said, his expression still calm.The manager and the other guests in the hall stared at Christian, their expressions incredulous."Aigoo, th

'I am finished!' The manager felt his world crumbling before him and at the same time his legs gave way to the floor as his body trembled violently.The two guards watched him with a confused look on his face as up till now they haven't realized the situation that they are in. Williams, who knew what was going on, couldn't bring himself to say a word at this moment as he already knew his life was finished and all he could at this moment was to accept his punishment.He knew it wasn't going to be a light one."I guess you do recognize me now," Christian smirked but the mask on his face made it impossible for them to see it. He slowly leaned forward then said with a frown on his face."You know what made me more curious about all these dramas is how you solved the case. Why don't you tell me the reason why you sent a man from the 'slum' out like that?" Christian asked with a cold expression on his face.Williams didn't know what to say and all he could do was close his eyes in shame as

' That's cleared now,' Christian muttered as he walked down the quiet hallway. He took out his phone and sent a message to Stanley. He typed then sent it and shoved his phone inside his pocket as his gaze returned to the direction he was headed to.A few minutes later a buzz sounded in his pocket and he sighed and took out the phone.Raymond Michelle. Age: 20Worked for: Clions company, Rich Co. EtcAccount details: *********** BWC bank> He stared at the information before him then typed out some sentences.Then he locked the screen and was about to shove the phone inside his pocket when it started ringing. He stared at the caller's ID then answered the call."Yes?" He asked in a cold tone."Mmm… Boss, I sincerely apologize if I disturbed you but miss Alice would like to speak with you. She said it's urgent," Stanley said with a shaky voice and one could hear the cautiousness in his voice.Meanw

CHAPTER 113Wedding bells "Hi, everyone. What's going on here?Did I interrupt anything? I can see y'all are having a good time, right?" Doctor Mario dashed inside Stephanie's ward with a document in his possession. Stephanie's conversation with her Mom was fruitful as they made peace and vowed to improve each other. Personally, Mrs. Rolando instructed everyone to join them inside the ward while she used the opportunity to apologize to Chris for treating him like a piece of trash while he was married to her daughter, Stephanie. The whole family is set to put the past behind them and embrace a new beginning that would be beneficial to everyone. Stephanie's near-death experience made them realize that there's more to life rather than beefing each other. "Not at all. Doctor Mario." Stephanie smiled. "I'm glad you're here with us.You came at the right time. We were just discussing my discharge date before you showed up. What's the update, doctor?" "Somewhat Positive if I must

Family ties."How do you feel now?" Chris asked Stephanie while she lay on her sick bed. She had her bandages wrapped around her head to enable a speedy recovery. It's not even 48 hours yet and Stephanie has lost much weight due to the excess bleeding from her head."I feel some type of way right now. I just can't explain. I can't wait to stand on my feet again." Stephanie responded in a faint voice as she held Chris's hands so passionately and stared directly into his eyes, "Thank You!""For? I can't recall doing anything," Chris responded to pretend he didn't know what she was talking about."Come on, Chris. Don't act like you don't know. Of course, you know what I meant. Thank you for everything. I wasn't expecting you to come through for me in my distress and trust me, I don't take your kindness for granted. I want you to know that I appreciate everything you do for me and more," Stephanie buttressed and displayed her heartfelt gratitude. She forgot to address the horrible texts s

Mrs. Rolando's venom.Heavy falls of snow in June are not uncommon, and only for a short time towards the end of July are the nights exempt from light frosts.The climate is hot and humid in the lowlands and along lower places, but in the uplands, it is dry with high temperatures and a cool atmosphere.Mrs. Rolando hasn't shown up yet and everyone's worried. Her hastiness would determine how fast Stephanie would get better."Have you figured out what to do? We don't have plenty of time to gamble around," Doctor Mario asked Chris. He was taking a stroll when he saw Chris and Emily standing at the reception. He expected Chris to have fetched Stephanie's family members previously discussed in his office."I know, Doctor. I'm working towards that I just called her mom and she'll be here pretty soon. Just buy us more time, please," Chris pleaded.Emily wasn't paying attention to their discussion. She concentrated her gaze on a woman approaching from a distance which she suspected was Mrs

CHAPTER 109The agony of Stephanie."Mr. Chris. Are you there?" Mario waved at the lost Chris to rejuvenate his lost soul. His mind went blank the moment Mario disclosed traces of narcotics found inside Stephanie's system."I'm fine! I am just trying to process everything. I'm still in shock.' Christian placed his head on Mario's desk to nurse his pain.Christian is quite aware that Mario is telling the truth but he's scared to admit it. He would rather pretend not to know to avoid Mario from suspecting that Stephanie is into drugs. He wishes he could visit Jayden at the station and strangle him with bare hands. He's the reason they're into this mess."I want to ask an important question and I'll need you to be honest with me. Can you do that?" Mario asked."Sure!" Chris nodded in a faint voice. His baritone voice has disappeared mysteriously without a trace due to the overwhelming situation.Narrowing his gaze around his office, Mario slowly whispered, "Is Stephanie a drug addict?"

Compound Woes"She's not even responding, Chris. Please assist me in taking her inside," Emily begged Chris. Stephanie is losing a lot of blood and Emily isn't about it. Just when she thought their problems were over, Stephanie's accident gave me another reason to trap them back inside the hospital's premises."Where are we taking her to? I know a nearby hospital where Stephanie would receive the best treatment. Let's get her inside my car," Christian said. He knew where Emily was driving but he just wanted her to spell it out."What sort of question is that? Why take her elsewhere when we are in the right place?Can't you see that we are in the hospital already? We should carry her inside where she would be treated inside." She responded with a harsh voice."Hell no! There's no way Stephanie would be treated in this same hospital. Have you forgotten what happened recently? To me, this hospital is bad news and must be avoided at all costs." Chris instructed at the expense of Stephani

Breaking free.Brandy gritted his teeth, remembering how confident he was a couple of minutes ago. He doesn't feel the same anymore and fears the worst that's about to him. His sense of loss was so deep, that he thought it'd kill him some nights.He paced around the cell for a couple of minutes in his prison uniform looking restless. He can't withstand the pressure anymore."Calm down, bro. It'll be fine. You've got nothing to worry about. You've been restless since we got here. We don't need that negative energy right now. We just need to stay positive." Jayden walked up to Brandy and calmed his nerves. It's crazy how you're calming the same person you're banking on for your freedom."Get your hands off me. You're in no position to say that to me. How dare you ask to stay calm when you know the situation already? You don't expect me to sit down and fold my arms right? I'm working towards my freedom unlike you with no plan. My Dad isn't picking up his calls or responding to his texts

Reconciliation Christian wasn't bothered about his potential arrest initially because he was quite confident of his innocence. He even made a declaration of becoming a Freeman who finally came to a manifestation.“I'll be going home at last. It's been a crazy adventure.” Chris smiled. He was so elated that he was going home. There's no greater joy than seeing Brandy and Jayden being arrested by the cops. If Chris was allowed to have his revenge on them, he doesn't mind shooting them in the head and watching them bleed to death. At least once in his life, he was able to do the right thing when it mattered.“Mark!” Chris halted Mark.“Where are you going? Please come back to me. There's something critical I need to discuss with you.We still have unfinished business.,” Christian called Mark when he noticed how scared Mark had become since he explained to everyone how Brandy destroyed everything. “Unfinished business?

The Escape route.“What's running through your mind now, Brandy? Doesn't it bother you that you might be spending the rest of your life in jail for committing a serious crime? You haven't spoken a word since we entered this vehicle. Are you planning on something I should know about?” Jayden whispered silently as the cops drove them to the station. He's noticed how unbothered Brandy has been lately.“Nothing special. I don't have Skeleton up my sleeves. I just have this peace of mind that can't be explained. I'm certain my Dad would come for me pretty soon. I've got absolutely nothing to worry about,” Brandy boasted. He isn't bothered by the arrest because he knows it's just a matter of time before his father comes through for him. When the cops got Brandy's declaration that Brandy would be arrested, he never argued or fought with them. Majestically, he smiled and walked his way into their vehicle, while Jayden kept arguing and pleading for a second chance at freedom again.Brandy's

Brandy's antics."Emily, is he telling the truth? I need you to be honest with me. You're the only one I could trust right now. Brandy is a jerk. No truth comes out of his mouth.I don't want to believe that Brandy erased all the data. What gave him the nerves to do that?" Chris focused his attention on Emily. She was the only person that wouldn't lie to him. He doesn't want to believe Mark's explanation even though it seems legit."I hate to admit this but it's nothing but the truth. Mark already said it all. If I wasn't there, I wouldn't have agreed to what he said. Everything happened right in front of me. You know what? I don't want to talk about this anymore. It saddens my heart each time I remember what happened out there.My head's spinning right now and I don't want to fall sick.," Emily narrated her ordeal in a soft tone. She's gradually losing her voice each time she opens her mouth to speak. She vowed never to speak until they reached the conclusion."Over to you Brandy. E
