Chapter: Chapter 170He folded it carefully, slid it into his tactical suit secret pocket, and rose. Otto was already wiping his blade clean on a fallen blocker, his breathing steady, his eyes scanning for danger.“You got what you needed, sir?” Otto asked, his voice low but sharp.“Not sure yet,” Sylvester admitted, patting were he had placed the blueprint on his body. “But it feels… important. Too important to leave behind.”Without another word, they slipped back into the corridor. The carnage was still fresh—bodies sprawled at unnatural angles, blood trailing across the cracked tiles, gunpowder clinging to the air. Neither men looked back.When they stepped outside, it was already early evening. The horizon was smudged with the first hints of sunset. Emily and Katrina stood waiting, their blades stained, their black tactical suit slick with blood. Behind them, Team 2 stood at alert. Emily’s sharp eyes immediately locked onto Sylvester, recognizing the look on his face. “You found something.”Sylvest

Chapter: Chapter 169“Have you heard from the men we sent out to Jasper's place?” Drake asked Viktor who shook his head. “That's weird. Those men are highly trained. Jasper shouldn't be a problem.” he said thoughtfully rubbing the tip of his dreads between his finger tips. “Sylvester too hasnt shown up for the duel. We can't give the order to the recon team to proceed as planned.” Viktor pointed out. “Hey you… contact the team. Tell them to hold. That anyone who moves without orders will lose his head.” Drake ordered and the person spoken to raced off. Few minutes he returned breathless. “Sir… I can't connect to them.” he said,gaspijg for breath. “What do you mean?” Viktor demanded. “It's either turned off or has bad connectivity.” the man explained. Drake's brow furrowed. “That's new… anyway keep trying.”The man hurried off. “Something doesn't feel right.” Viktor muttered to himself. He looked at the time. It was morning already. Maybe Sylvester got cold feet. ****“We hit at once. Each duo w

Chapter: Chapter 168“We are moving on with the plan.” he announced to everyone gathered, his eyes landing on each in turn. The room was crowded as Katrina, Gerald who was back, Otto who had come down from the surface with Horzert and Emily stood looking down at the blueprints spread out before them. Each had a grim look on their face as he laid out the plan. “One question.” Otto said, raising up his hand for attention. Sylvester gestured to him to go on. “Let's hear what you have to say.”“What do we about the men lurking outside?” Otto asked, pointing out the window. Sylvester became instantly alert. He closed his eyes and began cultivating, his essence searching and picking out the intruders. Six of them in total, all having the aura of the blockers clan. Damn. He was getting old for him to have missed their poorly disguised aura in the first place. His former self would have picked them out immediately they stepped within the area. Damn. “Everyone wait here. I will be back.” He created an aft

Chapter: Chapter 167Back in the Underground… “Did you come back with everyone you left with?” Emily asked as soon as Sylvester stepped in through the door. “I know you left with your team who was on standby here in the Underground. Where are they? Where's Gerald?”Sylvester explained. “They are investigating something else. I got done with my investigation before them but we will meeting up later. I left Gerald in charge.” “What about Verity?” Katrina asked anxiously before realizing herself. She gradually recollected herself. Sylvester smiled thinly. “I don't blame you. She was like a sister to you. She is safe and sound. It's thanks to her we will be taking certain actions few minutes from now.”She breathed out in relief and left husband and wife together. “So what's the plan?” she asked as soon as they were alone. “We attack tonight here in the Underground.” Emily's eyes took on a stubborn look. “This time__” Sylvester interrupted her. “This time you are coming along.”The words died in Emi

Chapter: Chapter 166Next Morning…. “You not going with us. I'm leaving you with Katrina.” Sylvester informed a shocked Emily. Emily couldn't believe what she was hearing. Not this again. “Like hell you are.” she snapped at him, plopping her weapons down on the table between them. “I need you to be safe.” Sylvester tried to make her see reason but she was having none of it. “Like hell you do.” she retorted with the same energy. Sylvester grimaced. “Stop.”“What am I suppose to stop exactly?” she asked, still fuming. “The attitude. It doesn't fit you.”“You should also stop what you trying to do.” she replied. “What am I trying to do exactly?” Sylvester asked her, not quite certain he was on the same page with her. “Leaving me in the dark and treating me with kid gloves. So what if I died a few times? I can take care of myself.”Sylvester threw his hands in the air in exasperation. “See that's just the thing. You are beginning to rely too much on your powers. That's risky and dangerous you know.”

Chapter: Chapter 165 Sylvester didn't know what he was feeling. Hurt, anger, disappointment, betrayal, hatred. They were jumbled together inside of him as he listened to her tell the clans his plans and how to ambush his own clan. “They are getting ready to crack down on the underground as we speak so you all need to act fast. Just don't forget our deal.” Verity was saying and Sylvester felt like someone had twisted a knife in his heart. To think the mole was none other than Verity. But why? Every part of him was itching to crawl out from beneath the floor boards and shake her violently or even wring her slender neck as he asked her what he had done to deserve this betrayal. “I remember your request all too well, young lady.” the same old cracked voice as before said. “What request did she make? We are all in this together so I believe we all have a right to know what she requested, right guys?” another voice challenged and there was a general murmur of agreement. “Silence.” yet another voice

Chapter: Chapter 15Jeremy was alone in his car as he drove to Naomi. A wave of regret hit him and he cursed his luck for getting him into all this mess.It was no surprise that Ariel thought of him as only a tool just the way Stephanie did.Why were women always like this?He wondered to himself.If he was rich, he wouldn't have gotten himself into such a mess.“Women. A bunch of them are annoying.” Jeremy gritted in frustration.He still had to get his sister at least, she was the only one who didn't annoy him.Jeremy wondered how long he could put up with this if his mother didn't recover fast.Would the doctor ensure that his mother got everything they needed?If Ariel continued like this, he was sure that sooner or later, she would stop the payment of his mother’s fees and he did not want that to happen.He had to be prepared but how?Should he get a new job with this prestige he had and save up?However, Ariel and her brothers were bound to question him.He gripped the steering wheel in anger.

Chapter: Chapter 14“You mean all this is for your wife.” Harold said with widened eyes.“Yes,” Jeremy smiled, “By the way, can you help me take it to my place? They are a lot and there’s no way I can get them all there by myself.” Jeremy asked with a pleading look.Harold, who was dumbstruck by the amount of gifts in front of him, only nodded and at once the helpers moved the items into the back of the Lamborghini.“Thank you Harold. Let’s get moving. My wife is waiting for me.” Jeremy patted his friend’s back, dragging the man out of his day dreaming.“Your wife is a lucky woman.” Harold muttered.“If only she understood that.” Jeremy sighed.At the large company, Ariel went after her uncle trying to stop him from snooping in her office.The man owned a company and because of their rivalry, they butted heads with each other.“I am going to call the guards on you, Uncle. You need to leave this moment.” Ariel frowned.First, Jeremy played this silly joke on her and blatantly disobeyed her order. Now, her

Chapter: Chapter 13Ariel looked at Bella as the news was delivered, she could feel her headache increasing by the minute.“I don’t understand why he would disappear after seeing how important this meeting is to me.” Ariel groaned and pinched her forehead. She felt like calling off this wedding but she couldn’t do that.How then would she explain to her brothers about everything?“He’d soon return Ma’am. I think what you should be most worried about is that Mr. Malcolm is sitting right now in the conference room and you should find a way to distract him from this company’s business.” Bella advised. She internally blamed herself for allowing Jeremy to leave.“Ok, I’ll have to keep that sneaky maggot busy for a while and if you see Jeremy, please send him upstairs.” Ariel stated, she straightened her blouse and decide to touch her make up. She didn’t want to look like a mess in front of her own rival.“Noted, Ma’am. I’ll do just that.” Bella replied.Without a word, Ariel left the office to talk to her unc

Chapter: Chapter 12“Is that a threat?” Jeremy muttered in a cool voice. He could finally see what he was to her. She only saw him like a tool, just like the way Stephanie saw him.“No, I just think that it’d be a great help from you to me since I’m helping you. You did agree to be my husband so I can get this position.” Ariel said in a soft voice dripping with a certain tinge of sweetness.She moved closer to Jeremy and placed her palm on his chest before looking into his eyes.“What are you doing, Ariel?” Jeremy narrowed his eyes and gazed down at her. One minute, she was fire, and the next minute, she was cold.He didn’t like that he wasn’t able to understand, not like he ever understood women but there was something about Ariel that made him uncomfortable.She was a stunning woman but from the way, she dealt with that Sanchez lady, he knew she was brutal.“Don’t you know newly-weds are meant to make out?” Ariel said and moved her head closer to his, causing the poor man to go into a panic.“Wait. I d

Chapter: Chapter 11Behind Jeremy’s car which Ariel had provided for his business, was another car, it had a luxurious gold design with tinted designs and it followed closely behind Jeremy’s car.Jeremy was a bit carried away by the beauty of the car he was in that he realize that he was being followed. His phone made a beep sound, notifying him of an incoming message.Jeremy opened to text to realize that it was Ariel who messaged him, she informed that she would meet him in her office and he should be expectant.Noah was on his phone as he followed Jeremy from the home his sister bought where he had previously been spying.“I’m telling you, I saw the way he held her and took her to her room like he was some kind of prince.” Noah gripped the phone as he spoke. There was something he felt was off about Jeremy but he couldn’t pinpoint it.“I think you should let it be, Noah. You don’t need to be sneaking about.” The voice on the other side of the phone answered him with a chuckle.“You don’t t know what y

Chapter: Chapter 10Where does it hurt?”Jeremy asked, taking a seat close to her on the bed.“Both of my ankles are sprained. I don't think I can walk.” She answered, pressing her hands against the affected area.“Oh shit!” He cursed and tried to touch her legs, but she immediately flinched.“I'll call a doctor. Do you have a personal doctor?”“No.” She shook her head a little too quickly, as if he had mentioned something scary instead of a doctor.“No, you don't have a personal doctor?” He asked with furrowed brows.“No, don't call me a doctor, I'll be fine.” She answered without looking at him.“I shouldn't get you a doctor? But you are injured.” He exclaimed, confused as to why she didn't want a doctor. If both her ankles were sprained, then she most definitely needed a doctor.“It doesn't matter. I'm fine.” She said firmly. He nodded, confused, but her decision, but deciding to respect it all the same.He stood from her bed and went to investigate what had caused the fall, and he found a tube of gel
