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

" That's enough now, please. We are in this together to build Delta Logistics again. You cannot worship me like this.” Ethan waved his hand at them to stop. Although Jack and his brothers stopped, Jack still blabbered, “I'll worship you, boss. You are my answered prayers!" The employees around wiped their tears-stained cheeks as they continued to laugh. Even Mirabel couldn't hold back her tears. She had a wide smile on her face as tears rolled down her cheeks. She knew what it was to be helped like that. Ethan didn't look at their background; he chose them. Unlike Gracious Life Restaurant, which wouldn't accept just anyone. With their tight rules, they still had so many bad workers in the restaurant, yet the manager turned a blind eye to all their nonsense. But Ethan was giving even thugs an opportunity because he saw them fit. Mirabel wiped her tears the moment she heard Ethan speak up again. He allocated positions to the people he thought were capable until he was done. Then he

Not long after the thugs drove over ninety people out of the company's premises, the police arrived. Ethan pointed at the nine employees who had stolen from Delta Logistics. They were arrested. Now, it was time for their business meeting. Ethan walked into the large conference room on the third floor with Mirabel behind him. She still didn't know what she was doing here, but she assumed Ethan was going to let her work here since he asked her to come along with him. When Ethan stepped in, the twenty-two employees stood up to welcome him. Their eyes glowed with admiration for Ethan. He was able to handle the protest for the second time. They all thought that Ethan did the right thing by not paying the protesters their salaries. The company was crumbling, and they all ran away. Now that they saw that the company was getting back up, they wanted to eat their cake and have it. As for Ethan, that wasn't the case. He was given a broken company with twenty-two faithful employees; if he

Those whose names were called and three others whom the woman didn't remember to mention all tried to run away. But the gate was blocked by the bikes of the thugs. It dawned on them that they'd been trapped. They had come to get their salaries, but instead, they'd been exposed. The other protesters that had come with them couldn't believe it. These were the people that had formed the protest group.The bald man whose name was Dan was the first to try to run past the thugs, but he was caught and thrown towards the crowd. The other protesters felt they'd been used. They had been following these sets of people because they claimed that with their influence, they could get their salaries back. It all started with the strike, which was Mrs Han’s idea. They all went through with it, thinking the manager or the general manager would call them back, but no one did. Not only did Mrs Han and the rest of them go behind their backs to secure jobs; Dan had called yesterday and said he spoke t

She? Ethan raised a brow. The one who had been stealing the company's machine parts was a woman? His eyes scanned the protesters. Jack didn't waste time; he pointed at a woman in the crowd. Seeing their boss pointing at the woman with shoulder-length brown hair, a flat nose, and wide lips, they made their way to her and pulled her out of the crowd roughly. " Hey!” She yelled, struggling to get out of their grip. She was a woman in her fifties. Ethan first sighed in relief that the person was not part of the people he had worked with the first day because he had come to love them all. Seeing that the person who had stolen Delta Logistics' machine parts was one of the protesters, he wasn't going to hold back. The woman was pushed to the podium. She clicked her tongue in a rude manner before properly arranging her shirt. She snorted,“Have you guys lost it? Do you know I have sons your age at home?" Ethan watched her with an unimpressed look in his eyes. He had actually thought i

This statement gave the protesters courage again. Ethan frowned, seeing that they were really taking this as their rights. He typed something on his phone and dipped his phone right back into his pocket. The day he came, he had asked Williams to draft out the number of employees he met, the state of every piece of equipment and machine, the amount he had invested into the company, and many other important details.“The people I worked with when I came in here are the people I intend to work with until I am interested in having new employees.” The statement didn't sit well with the protesters. “But we were here before!" “And now you're somewhere else. And I don't wish to have other companies' employees at my company." Ethan replied.“Who said we want to continue working at Delta Logistics?" The bald man sneered, “We just want our salaries, and we would leave." “Yes! Yes! Pay up our salaries!" The scream was getting louder and louder. They were protesting during the time of their

“Are you going to listen to us or are you going to keep ignoring us like we do not exist?!" One of the protesters yelled in anger. At the same time, Glady was asking Ethan what he planned to do with the protesters. Ethan glanced at them; they couldn't tell if he was happy or angry. He just watched them for a while. They used the opportunity to yell their concerns. After a while, Ethan lifted his left hand and the whole place became silent. " You all are talking; no one is talking. Where is the leader of the protest?” He inquired. They frowned and looked at each other. No one stepped out. They began to discuss within themselves, pointing at a particular man with big eyes and a bald head. Finally, the man with a bald head stepped forward. “There is no leader, but I would speak for the people." Ethan marked him. “Then speak. What is the aim of this protest?" “We want our salaries too. Delta Logistics has grown and gotten back into the market; we want our salaries that you have be
