CHAPTER EIGHTEEN When Lara saw the man, she became nervous, her eyes laced with growing anxiety as he approached.“Good evening, Director Sullivan. Welcome.” Her voice was barely above a whisper. She gripped her white coat for relief.“What are you doing here, Doctor Ryan?!” The man’s gaze was fierce, his voice causing the nurses to fidget. “You should be attending to one of the patients! We don’t joke in this hospital, I am sure you know that.”Lara nodded nervously. “I know, Director. I am sorry. But I was just trying to help Mr. Rivers. He is here to pay the bills for his Sister’s surgery.”From the tension in the air, and the reaction of Lara, Kai could tell that Moses Sullivan was the Director of the hospital. Plus he looked the part.“Excuse me, Director.” He inched closer to the Director. “I want to know why you asked Doctor Ryan to discha

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN The men wasted no time in jumping at the opportunity of making extra money.Kai returned the car keys to them, and they got into the cars, ready to take them for a last ride.He turned to the waitress with a scowl. “I hope you have learned how not to treat people based on their appearances. Have a nice night.”She walked away shamefully, staggering back to the restaurant.Kai got into the Rolls-Royce and instructed the previous owner to drive.The other man wheeled behind in the Maybach, and as soon as they arrived at Silver-line hospital, Kai alighted from the car.His steps quickened as he made his way to the ward at the right end of the hallway.But to his dismay, the room was empty.His heartbeat increased. “Where is my Sister?” He muttered, but there was no one to give him an answer.Quickly, he walked to the reception, struggling to catch his breath.“Excuse me, please.” He waved at the nurses at the reception, but they were busy with whatever they were doing

CHAPTER SIXTEENKai had a plan, and the moment he saw two men walking out of the restaurant, he smiled.Clad in expensive suits, the men chatted as they marched to the parking lot, laughing at the secret jokes they told.“Hello, Gentlemen.” Kai cut their moment short, turning from one man to the other while he kept his grin.The men looked at Kai for a long time, and they concluded that he was a beggar.“Look here, young man.” The oldest pointed with a grimace. “I think you should look for something meaningful to do with your life. You can’t go about meeting people and disturbing them with your troubles.”Kai sniggered. “On the contrary.” He inched closer to the men. “I am here to offer you a very juicy deal.”The men exchanged glances, and when they returned their gazes to Kai, they sniggered.“What could a poor fellow like you offer us?” The younges

CHAPTER FIFTEENKai found himself in one of the most expensive restaurants in the City.Certainly, he had doubts, but the additional fifty million dollars in his account gave him a little courage.“I hope you know what you are doing, Kai…” He whispered to himself as he marched into the dining hall.Already, he was getting very disdainful looks from some of the other customers in the restaurant, and before long, a waitress approached him, eyes glaring with contempt.“You shouldn’t be here, mister…” She rolled her eyes at him, already profiling him as a nobody and undeserving of being in that kind of place.Kai took a deep breath. “That’s a very wrong thing to say to a customer.” He was calm, but the waitress insisted on her peskiness.“I am going to call my manager right now!” She left in a hurry while Kai watched her silently.Their little verbal exchange had drawn the attention of some of the customers, and they began to wonder how such a scruffy-looking fellow was allowed into the r

CHAPTER FOURTEEN“What do you mean you can’t move?!” Smith asked impatiently, eyes wide with bemusement.“I hope you are not joking with me for your own good!” He warned, eyes flaming with annoyance.“I am not!” The policeman shook his head, still struggling to lift his feet.At that moment, sweat beads were rolling down his entire body, causing him to fight for breath.He had eyes looking all over the place, and they were bulging as though they were about to explode. Then he returned his gaze to Smith, vibrating while his feet were still stuck to the ground.“Help me!” He cried out, and when that didn’t seem like it was enough, he had to find something else to say, his voice shaking and losing its grip.“I can’t move, Lieutenant! My legs are stuck!” He swallowed hard, and when he met the confused gaze of the Lieutenant, it seemed as though all hope was lost for him.He had to take a deep breath, yet his heart kept pounding as though it was about to explode inside his tightening che

CHAPTER THIRTEENThe police men stared at each other, and realizing that none of them had any answer to Kai’s question, they turned to face the Lieutenant who inched three steps forward, staring sternly at Kai.“Are you trying to resist arrest, Mister?” Smith asked with a low but deep tone, glaring at Kai.He waited for a while, but when it became very obvious that Kai was not going to give him any response, he grunted, almost getting frustration added to his annoyance.“You will only be making this more difficult for yourself, young man. You have not realized the kind of trouble you are in…”Kai scoffed, and then he turned to glance at Justin and his friends without getting rid of the wry smile etched all over his face.He could see that they were running out of patience while waiting for the policemen to carry out the order of the Police Chief with Justin seeming like he was about to do something by himself.“Kai cleared his throat, returning his gaze to the lieutenant while his smi
