CHAPTER 31
“This is impossible!” “How did this even happen?” Mr Freeman yelled as he stared into the empty safe vault. The situation was intense and palpable as they all stood in shock and bewilderment. Tape stumbled back immediately, his face pale, shocked and completely star struck. “Gone? How the hell is it gone? This place is a fortress!” Lily’s hand immediately went to her knife, her eyes scanning the vault as if expecting an attack from someone or anyone at the moment. “Someone got in here. Someone who knew what they were doing.” Tape immediately said angrily as he stared at Victor Langston West. Mr Freeman’s jaw immediately was tightened, his voice now was low and dangerous. “Lord Vandel. It has to be Vandal's family!” “Those little pieces of shit!” “How the heck did they even get into this safehouse?!” Mr Freeman asked angrily, his voice was laced with a mix of anger and authority. Victor Langston West's mind raced immediately, his heart pounding so hard he thought it might burs
CHAPTER 32
Victor Langston West stared at the black, gold-plated box in his hands, the ring inside shining faintly under the west family’s vault’s dim lights. His jaw was still a bit slack, his mind reeling backward from Mr. Freeman’s revelation. “You’re telling me you had the heirloom this whole time?” he asked, his voice sharp with disbelief. “Why the hell did you put me through all this, Freeman? The vault, the pranks, the damn tests?”“For me, all this wasn't actually necessary in any way at all.” Victor Langston West immediately added, his look moving from Mr Freeman to the West family heirloom.Mr. Freeman stood tall, his expression was a bit calm but unyielding to any form of pressure at the moment. “Master West, everything I did was at your grandfather’s request.”“He wanted you to prove yourself—your strength, your resolve and your authority to actually carry the West family legacy and its associated burdens.”“The heirloom isn’t just a ring, Young Master West. It’s a symbol. Only a
CHAPTER 33
The question hung from Tape immediately in the air, catching everyone off guard especially Mr Freeman himself, the real owner of the question.Victor Langston West immediately froze, his eyes narrowing as he studied Mr Freeman.Lily’s hand by now had paused on her knife, her gaze moved between Mr Freeman and Tape. “Yeah,” she said slowly. “That’s a good question.” Her voice was laced with curiosity and bewilderment.Mr Freeman stared at all of them before letting out a low giggle, brushing off the tension. “Nonsense, boy. I’m just well-preserved. Now, enough of this. We need rest. Tomorrow, I’m taking Master West to the West Group.”. His voice was a bit reserved at the moment, something they rarely saw him do.Tape immediately raised an eyebrow, clearly not satisfied. “Well-preserved? Man, you look like you’ve been dodging time itself. You sure you’re not, like, immortal or something?” Tape's voice was still laced with curiosity.Victor Langston West immediately laughed, but it was
CHAPTER 34
“I’d rather not. Just… let me sleep, okay? We’ve got a big day tomorrow.” Victor Langston West said and took a deep breath, he was wearing a blue night suit.Mr Freeman studied him for a moment, then nodded.“Get to bed, Master West. We’ll need you sharp for the West Group.”Victor lay back down, but sleep didn’t come easily. ‘What’s Mr Freeman actually hiding? 'he thought, staring at the ceiling.‘And what’s with this ring? It’s just a piece of metal, right? So why does it feel like it’s burning a hole in my pocket at the moment?’ Victor Langston West thought as he pulled out the ring and stared at it.“Oh I really wish these nightmares would really go away.” He muttered to himself while he tried very hard to get a good night's sleep.The next morning, Victor Langston West stood outside the towering glass structure of the West Group headquarters, its sleek design was actually a stark contrast to the chaos he had endured throughout the previous night, starting from being pranked by
CHAPTER 35
Immediately, Victor Langston West heard what the guard had just said, he was infuriated by his words.He clearly understood who he was now and wasn't going to stand and watch as a man he was now obviously wealthier than call him names.“Hey fat Joe, how much is actually this store and I demand to see your CEO at the moment!” Victor Langston West immediately said as he stared at the big security dude standing before him.The security man immediately took out a baton from his belt and stared at Victor Langston West.“What did you just say boy?!” “Get lost immediately!”“I said get lost from here or I will have to call the security on you now!” The security man yelled as he moved closer to Victor Langston West slowly.“I thought you were the security man?” Victor Langston West asked as he laughed out loud at the security man who was now almost in front of him.“Doesn’t matter, just get lost, I don't want Lady Cara to see this useless self of yours here!” The security man said and violen
CHAPTER 36
“That's the scoundrel who tried to break into the Cara Luxury stores and he tried to steal that bag worth Two million dollars!” Marvin immediately yelled from the floor.His voice was laced with lies as he stared at Victor Langston West who was now beyond shocked at the level of lies reeking out of the mouth of the security man whose name was Marvin.Marvin immediately stood up from the ground finally, although his feet were still wobbly, he tried his best to stay focused and calm.“I'm telling you men, this lowlife Gardener bastard is an animal, he almost broke my neck, and now as the recently appointed Chief Security officer for Lady Cara's Luxury brand, I demand that you all attack this animal standing before us and break his neck!” His voice was laced with a mixture of coordinated anger and frustration.Beads of sweat immediately broke down from his head down to his face and slowly dripped to the floor before him.“Move it men!” Marvin immediately yelled as he noticed that the oth
CHAPTER 37
The security guard's voice was laced with anger and determination as he charged, swinging both at once, one high, one low. Victor Langston West immediately jumped the low swing, ducked the high one, and closed the distance.He grabbed one bat mid-swing, wrenching it free, then used it to block the other. With a quick spin, he bashed the guard’s hands, hearing bones crack. The man dropped the remaining bat, and began screaming, Victor Langston West immediately finished with a swing to the legs, sweeping him off his feet.“Push harder!” Marvin screamed from the back, his voice was now cracking a bit now, the anger mixing with fear as he saw his men falling like dominoes pizza to the floor.“Don’t stop! He’s tiring out! Look at him—he can’t keep this up! Twenty-five thousand now! Get in there and take him down! For Lady Cara, for the store, for your paychecks!”The last four guards hesitated, looking at their fallen buddies groaning on the ground. “Boss, this guy’s a machine,” one mu
CHAPTER 38
“Marvin!”“What the heck is going on here?!”“How is this even possible?!”“Do you all mean to tell me that this gardener was the one who took your entire team of Elite Security guards?”“What is the meaning of this shenanigan Marvin?!”“What do I actually pay you all stupid delinquents for if you all cannot even protect this Luxury brand?!” Lord Marcus immediately asked, his voice was laced with a mix of anger and frustration.He immediately pulled out a fully loaded desert eagle and pointed at Marvin, the Chief Security officer for his company. His eyes were laced with anger and frustration as he stared at Marvin who was still on the floor wincing out in pain.The situation was intense and palpable as Marvin upon seeing that his employee, Lord Marcus, one of the most feared business Tycoons in the city had just pulled a 9mm super firearm at him, he immediately peeled his pants.“Lord Marcus, I'm so sorry for everything, I promise it won't happen again!”“This man right here isn't an
CHAPTER 39
“Please don't do it Lord Marcus!” Marvin immediately yelled. “Shut up and explain yourself, Marvin!” Lord Marcus immediately yelled at him angrily, pushing the fully loaded desert eagle firearm to his head more. Marvin’s voice trembled as he spilled it all again. “It started when he walked up to the store. Looked like trash—gardener outfit, dirt on his hands. I told him to scram, no poor folks allowed.” “He got mouthy, said he was just looking. So I called the team in. We surrounded him, tasers out first. One guy shot, but he rolled away like he saw it coming.” “Then he tackled another, slammed him into the ground. Batons were swung at him, but he grabbed one, used it against us. Broke bones, swept legs— it was over before we knew it!” Marvin immediately said as he perfectly narrated what had happened. Lady Cara laughed, a cold, sharp sound. “And you just watched? From the back, like a coward? Pathetic. Tell that to Lord Marcus, but I doubt it’ll make him spare you. He doesn’t
CHAPTER 40
“Call Mr Xander now!” Victor Langston West immediately yelled into the air just before him. Lady Cara immediately shuddered backwards.It had occurred to her once that Marvin, their chief security officer who was now bleeding out from the shot Lord Marcus had delivered to him, wasn't actually lying.Lady Cara immediately stared at Victor Langston West, from where he was it was just as if his eyes were on fire and burning red with anger.Lord Marcus now had this determined face now etched in shock and bewilderment.'Who is this guy?’'Why is he so arrogant and does not act as if he is afraid of Lord Xander?’'He should be completely afraid of Lord Xander, Lord Xander, because Lord Xander is a man feared even by the president of the country himself.’ Lord Marcus immediately thought to himself as he stared at Victor Langston West who was still staring angrily at Lord Marcus and his wife Lady Cara Marcus.“Well, C'mon call him already!” Lady Cara Marcus immediately yelled to her husband,
