The hall was silent, and anyone who didn’t see the men who were seated at the long table would have thought that no one was in the hall. There were seven men, all in black suits and with their faces looking like some sort of calamity had befallen themThey seemed bothered by something that had eaten so deep into their skin that it had caused them to remain silent for so long.“Is there no one who has nothing to say?” Doctor Ben finally broke the silence in the room after looking at the rest of the Doctors one after the other. He seemed very annoyed that the reason for the meeting was yet to be tackled, and they had spent over half an hour without anyone being able to make any good suggestions.“Is this how we are going to allow him to take over this City right under our noses? Is there no one who can come up with something to end this?” He asked, looking at his cohorts one after the other, but silence was the only thing he got.“Doctor Moses? Even you? You have chosen silence…”“Tha

Just as Quin stepped into the hall, the tension began to increase, and it seemed like each step he took caused their heartbeats to increase, beating so violently that some of them had to try to get a grip on themselves.“I can see that you all gathered without me,” Quin chuckled softly, and then he turned to Ben who was obviously the ringleader. The look on his face was nothing free from shock, he was never expecting to see Quin. “When Doctor Col told me that you were going to have a secret meeting, I thought that you were going to discuss some other thing, I never knew that you were going to plot to kill me.” Quin paused, and the suspenseful silence was still lingering when Col walked into the room. He looked at his fellow Doctors with a smirk on his face, and they stared at him like he had betrayed them wholeheartedly. “Don’t look at him that way, you all knew what you were doing,” Quin spoke up, and then he waited for Quin to stand next to him before he continued.“You all have

“You can’t leave without having a taste of what he just tasted.” Quin said to the Doctors who were already shaking with their breaths becoming more unstable as they stood in front of the security men.Ben had been left to crash to the ground, and he remained that way, panting and gasping for breath. Even when he tried to crawl away from Quin, his strength seemed to have failed him. “Please, let us go, Doctor Quin!” Moses pleaded, but everything he said fell on deaf ears.The situation seemed to be more severe on him as the other Doctors decided to hide behind him since he was the most superior among them, but they were so disappointed when they saw that the security men no longer regarded him.“Forgive me, Doctor Quin! I didn’t want to join them in this, but they forced me!” Philip sounded convincing with a pitiable expression, but Quin had been listening from almost the beginning of the meeting. “All of you will not be left out of this punishment. Because of the evil you have commi

“But I haven’t asked for anything. Besides, you haven’t been cured.” Quin said, wondering why she was so eager to give him something. “I don’t need anything from you, Lady Xerxes.” Quin was firm with his decision, but the lady was not ready to back down. “You must not reject my gift, Doctor Quin. I won’t let you.” Lady Xerxes started walking toward Quin, the expression on her face showed that she was serious. “Why are you so persistent with giving me something?” “Because you deserve it, Doctor Quin. If you will not accept the limitless card I gave to you, you will accept something else.” Quin sighed. The persistence he saw on the lady’s face made him ready to listen to whatever she had to say.“I am listening.” He said and folded his arms while he waited to hear what she was going to say. “Lincoln Holdings is facing a major financial crisis, and I am afraid that things could end very badly if nothing is done to salvage the situation. No one knows about this, not even my br

As soon as she found her phone, Xerxes picked it up and made a call that changed her status from the President of her company to the vice president.She was glad that she never chose anyone to be the vice president of Lincoln Holdings because she knew she was working with a brood of vipers and didn’t want to allow anyone to take what belonged o her.“It’s done. You are now the President of Lincoln Holdings.” She said with a confident smile, and Quin said nothing while he kept on looking at her.“I wonder why you trust me so much, Lady Xerxes.” He said when he was ready, and she chuckled softly.“Maybe it is because I have developed a soft spot for you, Quin. Everything about you is wonderful.” Xerxes moved closer to Quin and was about to take his hands when Austin walked in.“What is going on here?” He asked, eyes focused on Quin who didn’t even bother to make any move. “Doctor Quin brought the medication he promised,” Xerxes responded, pointing at the empty bottle she drank from.

Quin remained in his car attempting to figure out who his ambushers were, but the windows and windshield of the car were tinted, making it almost impossible for anyone to see that there were people inside the cars. Then the doors of the cars began to open one after the other, and six armed men alighted at once, aiming their guns at Quin.“Step out of the vehicle or we will shoot!” The leader of the group threatened, gesturing to his men who surrounded Quin’s car with their guns pointed all over the place. Quin had to alight from his car slowly while he was still trying to figure out who they were. “Who sent you?” He asked, but none of the men was willing to talk. “We have been asked to bring you. Any attempt to escape could lead to your death.” The leader and the only person who spoke threatened again. The look on his face showed that he wasn’t mincing words.Curious to know what was going to happen, Quin decided to go with the men, but he also chose to be very careful after seeing

Quin was annoyed after hearing what Angus had done to his favorite car, but it didn’t seem like his rival cared about the way he felt. “You can’t do anything to me now, Quin boy! I am the one standing, and you are the one tied to a chair.” Angus sniggered at Quin, determined to ridicule him as much as he could.“I heard that Lady Xerxes has declared you the President of Lincoln Holding. I wonder how many times you warmed her bed for her to make such a ridiculous decision. It turns out that you not only know how to ruin things for people just like you ruined mine, you also know how to take what doesn’t belong to you.” “Everyone cannot be as foolish as you, Angus,” Quin said with a smirk on his face, but Angus scoffed because he didn’t understand what he said.“Five years ago before you left the City, I told you never to return but you insisted on coming back. You haven’t spent more than a few weeks in Eastside City, yet you have caused me a job that I have been managing for over two

“Who are you?” The leader of the gang asked with a shivering voice, but Quin had more important things to attend to. He knocked him out as well and grabbed one of the car keys from him.He hurried out of the building at once, and like he expected Angus had already driven out of the vicinity. But he could see the mark made by his tires, and he could hear the sound of his vehicle speeding away at a distance.“I can’t let him escape.” Quin quickly got into one of the cars as soon as he was able to locate which one had blared when he pressed on the control. He sped through the rough road, but he managed to maneuver his way and eventually found his way through a lonely road that wasn’t as bad as the previous one.He could see Angus’ car up ahead, and he had to make sure that he kept a little distance in order not to scare him away. The road was quite lonely, and it was obvious that Angus was headed somewhere he wanted no one to know about.He maintained a slow and steady pace, and so did

Angus panicked, but from Vince’s countenance and body movement, it didn’t look like he was bothered about Quin’s threat.“Do something, Vince! I don’t want to go to jail!” Angus pleaded, but what he got was unexpectedly a chuckle from the young and arrogant fellow.“Relax, Doctor. He is just bluffing, and even if he isn’t, you have no need to be afraid. My father is very powerful and you know it.” Vince’s voice reeked of so much overconfidence, and he glared at Quin afterward.The certainty that everything he said was going to end up the way he thought convinced him to stand up to Quin, who had already made up his mind to do nothing. “Are you sure about this, Vince? I don’t want to go to jail.” Angus wasn’t convinced enough because of the changes he had seen in Quin. After the experience at the Mayor’s residence, he was afraid that he could do what he said he was going to do.“Fear not, Doctor Angus. I will put a call across to some men, they will come here and beat him up.” Vince e
