"No... wait... I..."Before she could stop them, the ten seconds was already counting. It was boldly on the face of her phone screen, washed up as the rain started to blow."Please... just let me..." Five seconds remained as she sobbed and begged.3.... 2...."Sent" Her trembling fingers had touched the screen. She sent the money, throwing the rest of her life away. "I have sent the money, alright. Now let him go..."Mrs Huddersfield watched as the entirety of her wealth drained away with that single transfer. This was surely the worst day of her life. She had lost all her tenants, now she was losing the rest of her fortunes.The kidnappers laughed. "Nice. You are a smart woman. A slow one but a smart one. Unfortunately, I do not like slow."What did he mean by that? Did he not say..."Considering how long it took you to decide if you want to save your son, I guess we will just help you to make the right decision."A loud gunshot came in the background, followed by the scream of someo

"Where is who?" The girl stuttered in fear, knowing that she must have done something wrong. Her boss was sweating and palpitating. The person he was looking for must be so important.The stressed man looked around, Adrian Blood stared right back."Are... are you Mr Blood?" He asked amidst shivers."You do not know who I am? Is that why your worker here keeps disrespecting me?"The manager turned to the girl instantly, rage evident in his eyes. He slapped her hard across the face, sending a thunderous clap into the skies, grabbing the attention of every single person."How dare you insult the honored guest of the CEO of Waters Corporation?! This is the first time the CEO has asked us for our service ever since he took office and you dare disrespect his guest!!" He slapped her continously as she yelped helplessly, realising the depth of her own grave she had just stepped into.The CEO of Waters Corporation? Oh no! She cried inside herself, wishing she had done things differently."You

"What the hell?" Adrian Blood bit his lips. Why would this guy end up here with him again? Why did he always seem to end up in the same place as himself? If he needed to go to the United kingdom all of a sudden, why did he not just take a private jet or something like that? Why must he always cross paths with him?"Adrian, I would advise that you ensure that Ricardo Rodriguez does not see you aboard the plane." Virus advised. "If it does, it may compromise the mission."What? He was the one who was intruded and now he had to be the one in hiding? Adrian quickly turned away his gaze as Ricardo walked by. Even though he was more than willing to confront Ricardo Rodriguez and beat the hell out of him for what they did to Lyana, he realized he would only make things worse. If he really wanted to save her, then he must play well with the rules. With Ricardo was a woman whom Adrian Blood himself had seen before somewhere. He did not get to have a good look at her before turning away to avoi

It happened all really fastto knew when they showed up. How they showed up, or why they were not stopped at the airport.It seemed as though the gunmen had boarded the plane like normal passengers, they must have disguised themselves really well to escape detection by the security, and now they were controlling the flight. "Mommy!" A child cried."Please let my child go! Pleaseee...." An innocent mother pleaded as the men tore through the aircraft, taking all the minors from their guardians. "What's going on, Virus?" Adrian muttered, staring around to find innocent women and children in distress as the turmoil continued with the masked men torturing anyone who got in their way. "Who are these men?"Virus ran a scan immediately and their faces behind the masks was revealed to Adrian Blood."These are members of the Dark Society."The Dark Society? Adrian Blood knew whom they were. They used to be so popular in the past. They were a group of global terrorists who had members and gangs

Her hands shook with the cellphone clenched weakly in her grasp. The old man frowned at the mysterious words she kept on her lips, just enough to not spit it out to his hearing."I asked you a question, woman?" He said. "Who is on the phone? What is wrong with Ricardo?"But she did not say another word. Just shivers and trembles like a chick which got rescued from the cold river, drenched in sickness.The chairman wondered what calamity it was that the reckless young heir had brought upon the family this time. Ricardo just never learns a lesson, causing trouble every here and there, every now and then. Whatever it was, how bad could it be? It could not be worse than any of the news the chairman had endured for the past few months, bad news after bad news after bad news. This could not be any special.With rage and impatience, he took the phone from her and spoke with confidence. "Who is it?" He whispered. "What do you want?"The voice on the other end was not a voice he was familiar
