Caleb shuddered hearing Ryder's words. For a moment, he thought Justus had discovered what he had done.He and Justus had always been at odds with each other, so he was not surprised when he commanded his men to remove their mask "Humph!" Caleb snorted then walked away."None of your business Justus. Do what you're ordered to do, and stop poking your nose into my business." Caleb scoffed as he hurried into the inner part.Ryder smirked as he watched Caleb, he knew that the latter was confused at the moment and didn't know what to do.Well, that was what he wanted. Since he was the leader of the armed men, there was no need to worry about anything else.There would be no casualties this time around. All he had to do now was to wait until Selena contacted him."Hurry up, everyone, it's getting late; there are still tons of things to do," Ryder commanded, his eyes darting around, observing the place while he tried to think of a plan.At first, he wanted to remove the ammo from the men's

The room fell silent, all eyes on Ryder at the moment. Was he going to accept it or not?They had all seen his skills through the camera and knew he would be a formidable enemy. After all, they could swear they had never come across a police officer this skilled.Even if there were officers who were as skilled as Ryder, then they would be of a high ranking unit, not a low ranking unit.Also, if Ryder was to join them, would they really trust him? They didn't think so, after all, someone like Ryder was a ticking time bomb."What do you think I'll choose?" Ryder chuckled, pulling out his phone to message Selena.As for Caleb who was still pressing the muzzle of the hug against his waist, he was not worried about it."Well, I don't know what you'll choose, after all the choice is yours, I can only offer you a way out, or a way to hell," Barney shrugged, his gaze still on Ryder."And how sure are you that I'll be going to hell anyway?" Ryder smirked, raising his head from his phone, stari

"No..no, this can't be happening," Rdyer muttered, trying to steady his footing, but the more he tried, the more the headache became intense.His vision became even more blurry, his breathing was more labored and he found it hard to raise even a finger while his consciousness slowly slipped away from him."Bang!"Finn's punch landed squarely on Rdyer's chest, sending him flying, crashing into the nearby wall.Ryder slammed into the floor, blood flowing out of his mouth. He lay there, struggling to breathe, his vision fading to black.The more he struggled to move, the more he felt weaker and the faster his vision faded.Finn walked slowly towards Ryder, eyes cold. Staring at Ryder who was laying on the floor weakly unable to move even a muscle, he shook his head and muttered,"You should have listened to me."But Ryder was too weak to even listen to Finn at the moment. He was trying to prevent himself from losing consciousness.The headache though was getting stronger with each second

"What did I do to your comrade?" Barney burst out into laughter. He laughed so hard he had to hold his stomach which was beginning to hurt."Why don't you ask him?" He continued, pointing at Ryder who was still sitting like a dummy.Henry and the others frowned and took a glance at Ryder once again. Though they didn't know the reason he was that way, they were sure it was something that had to do with what happened inside the room.They all knew Ryder was skilled even though they had never seen him in action. But there were subtle hints that pointed to how skilled he was."You know you don't have to blame the poor guy," Barney broke the silence, a sinister smile spread across his face."Look over there," He continued, pointing at the large TV screen.Henry, Selena, Justin and the SWAT team members turned to the large TV screen and froze.The entire content of what was happening was displayed right before them. How the team led the men out of the club was shown. Nothing was hidden from

(Hours Later) Rdyer's eyes fluttered open. The light in his surroundings forced him to close his eyes again. After a while, he slowly opened them again as they got adjusted to his surroundings. Then he stood up slowly. The soft cushion of the bed made it comfortable for him to move even though pain raked all of his body. But at least, the numbness had disappeared and he could still move. He knew he was in the hospital since that was where Selena and Henry were rushing him to. Talking about Henry, Ryder chuckled, remembering the latter. He actually seemed worried about him and was the one that drove at a crazily fast speed just so they could get him to the hospital on time. Looking around the ward, Ryder realized there was no one in. Well, if someone was inside the ward, then they would have long yelled out his name in shock and rushed to call the others. This was because Ryder knew the effect of the poison after he passed out would be to stop his breathing and all other functi
