Adrian Snow was gone.Not imprisoned, completely gone. The news didn't take long to spread across all countries. Adrian Snow was finally eliminated. Justice was served.Jessica was imprisoned. She couldn't escape like she thought she would. She was too heartbroken to even move.“I warned him. I warned him." She kept telling herself. Jasper asked that Jessica be sent back to Silverlake to serve her punishment in prison. And with his fall, everything else followed. The warehouse Jasper had shown Adrian that he destroyed was completely fake. Nothing was destroyed, except that the robots were switched off so they couldn't destroy anything in the city. Adrian's plan was to use the robots to distract Jasper. While the robots destroy the city, Jasper and his men would be forced to leave him and save the country. But Jasper had seen that coming. With the help of some of his lab doctors that were tired of working without much pay, the robots were turned off. And in that lab, Jasper and

Tiger and the others rushed out when they saw some people in the shadows with guns pointed at Sophia.Dirty game.Within seconds, Tiger dove Sophia pushing her to the ground. The gunshot was so loud, Jasper froze and turned.He saw Sophia on the ground, he wasn't about to comprehend what just happened before Adrian punched him from behind. Chaos erupted.Jessica stepped back, watching with narrowed eyes. If Adrian wins, which she prays for, she'll be so happy. But if Jasper wins, she'll run away quickly“Stay down." Tiger ordered Sophia as he stood to his feet. Jackson and Bai Zhe along with few other team members fought along with Jasper. Sophia rolled to the other end of the room and remained on the ground, not daring to stand up. Her eyes never left Adrian and Jasper.Adrian wasn’t just dangerous, he was a deliberate destruction. Adrian blocked Jasper’s strike and leaned in slightly, “You’re holding back.”Jasper’s eyes turned colder, “I’m ending you.”Adrian laughed, “You’ve

The day of the meeting came quicker than anyone expected. Everyone feared for what was going to happen, everyone except Jasper. He was more eager to meet with Adrian. “Only one host survives? Let's see who survives” he whispered to himself.The industrial zone was empty and quiet. Wind moved through broken structures. Metal creaked faintly like it knew something was going to happen here. Jasper stood at the center waiting. He was alone. Bai Zhe and the other team members positioned in their hideout. Weapons were ready, eyes watching. Just as Jasper was about to move even closer, he heard a call that caused him to freeze. His entire body run cold. “Jasper!" It was Sophia. His eyes widened in shock as he turned to meet her gaze.“What the hell are you doing here?!" He roared. “I had to come. I cannot let you use yourself as bait while I sit home and watch" Jasper's jaws clenched. He tried to push her away but he was too late. Adrian came out of the shadows “Awwwn, lovebird

The news caused the entire house to be silent No one spoke. Everyone mourned the death of Mark. Jasper sworn in his heart to end Adrian even if it meant dying with him. Tiger was silent and still. The pain piercing into his heart. Bai Zhe came moments later, he saw Jasper and his heart broke to pieces. He walked over to the man and held his shoulder, “This is all my fault." " That's not true.” Bai Zhe immediately frowned. " I was too late.” Jasper swallowed, " I should have been there. I should have been the one. It was my fight after all.”" And we are all willing to die for you, Boss.” Tiger interrupted. Jasper’s eyes watered. " Adrian messed with the wrong team.” Jackson whispered. " This time… there is no turning back." Jasper looked back at Jackson, “Can you trace him?" “Even if it takes me all night, I will." “I'll stay up with him." Bai Zhe added. “And I'll watch and patrol the compound." Tiger also spoke. Jasper couldn't be more grateful for the kind of friends h

Jasper called instantly for an emergency meeting. It was 2 a.m. but everyone was vigilant. The look on Jasper's face was gloomy. The first thing he said when everyone took their positions in their seats was,“No fear." Gazes at him, he turned to look everyone in the eyes, “No fear. He feeds from our fear." They didn't understand everything but they understood one thing. When dealing with Adrian Snow, show no fear. In the operation room covered in screens, data streamed endlessly. Location, surveillance feeds, movement logs… Adrian wasn't the only one who could monitor their movement without them knowing. He could too. The system’s words echoed in his mind again, “Only one host remains." This was it. It was either him or Adrian. He had a brief yet important meeting with them before he finally dismissed them. Everyone left with a new fire, all except Jackson. He remained with Jasper as he watched the feeds. " Boss” Jackson called as he looked at the screen before him. Jasper

It was late. Sophia was home. So was Jasper but he refused to step out of his room. She was stubborn. He allowed her to be. He had assigned a hundred and twenty guards to follow her in the shadows. He doesn't have anymore potions to save her. He cannot be reckless. But she was. Jasper stood alone in his study, thinking. His coat had been discarded somewhere behind him, his cuffs loosened, his tie slightly undone.But none of it softened him. He wasn't comfortable. His heart is heavy and he wondered what is causing such unease. His mind went back to the prison, the words that Elise had said that kept hunting him. “What you have… Adrian has it too.”Adrian’s voice over the phone.“I already know how this ends.”Even though he had not seen Adrian face to face as of recent, he believed the words from Elise. Adrian have a system now. He was too precise in his doing. Now steps ahead of him and even think of things before he does. The way Adrian dismantled his operations like he ha

"Yes, sir," the worker who had just come to relay the information said. He looked towards Ethan but quickly looked away, as if he would have gotten into trouble had he not done so."I went outside to get proper security so they could handle this man, but when I got there, I saw all of them lying on the floor, unconscious, and a man outside was still dealing with the few that were still around him," he said."So you brought an accomplice to do your evil, dirty deed, huh?" the man said. He couldn't help but get enraged."Delta Logistics must have hired some low life dog so they could sneak in here and do their dirty work. But from what I can see, you're the only one here, which means you didn't know about our numbers. So you made a brave mistake walking into this place, because now you are trapped. Regardless of security, all the workers here are more than enough power to deal with you!" the man said."I asked you a couple of questions earlier and you did not answer them. If it takes me

Ethan flagged down a cab, and he and Jack climbed in. The information he had received from the office was already on his phone screen, and he read through it carefully once more during the ride, confirming exactly what he'd suspected from the start.The man wasn't a Ford Group employee at all, just a cheap, hired mouthpiece brought in specifically to spread bad press about Delta Logistics.The address attached to the file, however, wasn't the man's home. It was a warehouse registered under a shell name, tucked into a quiet stretch of the industrial district, unremarkable enough that no one passing by would think twice about it. Exactly the kind of place someone chose when they wanted a shady deal done without drawing attention."This is it," Ethan said, glancing up at the plain signage above the entrance once the cab pulled to a stop.He and Jack stepped out, and as they approached the front door, a security guard was already waiting there, arms crossed, a hard frown fixed on his face

"Who is he?" Ethan asked again, when Vanessa still hadn't found the words to answer him."I’m not quite sure if I know exactly who he was referring to," Vanessa said. "He was probably just saying nonsense to try and rattle me. I think it's better we just let that go and focus on what you actually came here for which is a million times more important."Ethan was still curious, some part of him certain there was more truth buried in that throwaway line than Vanessa wanted to admit, but rather than spend more time chasing it, he decided it was better to deal with what was directly in front of them."The company," Ethan said, and that pulled her attention sharply back to him."I need you to help manage the fallout from these rumors on your end," he continued. "Make sure all the documents the clients signed the copies are documented and a clear proof of everything, the terms, the contract, all of it. I don't want to lose when what I have to make me win is sitting idly by."He turned and be

The other men who stood astonished for a few seconds started to boil inwardly with rage.Seeing how Ethan manhandled one of them was a silent insult neither was willing to take, prompting them to close in from either side."You're really going to regret what you just did, boy," one of them said."Whatever luck you've been running on has officially run out," the other added. "The beating you're about to get is going to make you wish you'd left the second our boss told you to."Ethan found himself standing squarely between the two of them now, boxed in tight enough that anyone watching might've mistaken him for a sausage pinned between two slices of bread. He didn't move an inch."You talk a lot for your size," Ethan said."We'll see who's talking too much once I'm done with you," the first man snapped, throwing a punch directly at Ethan's face. Ethan sidestepped it easily."Try that again," the second one growled, swinging as well, only to meet the same result."How is he so fast!" Mik

"What kind of stupid options are those?" Ethan scoffed."You haven't picked an answer from the options you've been given, and if you don't, I won't be responsible for what happens next," Mike bragged.One of the hefty men who stood closer to where Mike sat flexed his arm, veins bulging along his bicep as if to reinforce Mike's threat, clearly hoping to instill some kind of fear into Ethan.Ethan felt none of it. If anything, all he wanted was the chance to finish speaking with Vanessa, since he had far more pressing matters waiting on him than this.His eyes drifted toward the table where Vanessa had been sitting, landing on the papers still spread out in front of her. "What's this about?" Ethan asked, curious.Vanessa to her desk. "Oh! It's just some documents Mike brought," Vanessa said."He's been going on about everything circulating online, all the backlash Delta Logistics has been getting. His argument is that my company is still going to collapse because image has been taint

"I didn't know you were coming," Vanessa said, clearly caught off guard.Ethan didn't respond right away. Instead, his gaze moved slowly toward the chair Mike sat in."Oh, so that's your name," Mike said, a lazy grin spreading across his face. "I'd almost forgotten it."Ethan couldn't help the dejected look that crossed his face at the sight of that same stupid, pompous smirk still sitting there like nothing had changed."Seems like you didn't learn anything from our last encounter," Ethan said, and Mike's expression twisted into a frown."I learned plenty," Mike shot back. "Which is exactly why you're going to pay dearly if you don't leave this place right now!""I didn't come here for you," Ethan said flatly. "Which means you're the one who should be leaving."The receptionist who'd trailed Ethan the whole way burst into the room dramatically, still catching her breath from her earlier attempt to physically block him, clearly having spent a great deal of energy for absolutely nothin
