CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FOURThere was stillness in the large room where Hudderson stood alongside the Concierge and five soldiers. Everyone was armed apart from the Supreme Ruler.Then the Concierge stepped forward and handed over a tablet to him. “I think this is where the boy is, Supreme Ruler.”Hudderson looked at the screen of the tablet, and taking a deep breath, he returned his gaze to Will.“This shows that he is in Tarusa. Are you certain about this?” He asked and the Concierge nodded.“I trust my source, Supreme Ruler. I think the boy is angry.”“Why do you say so?” Hudderson lowered the tablet while he stared at Will curiously. “That looks like a den for underground deals, Supreme Ruler. I wonder what the boy must have gotten himself involved in.” Will looked a bit concerned while the Supreme Ruler returned his gaze to the screen.He swiped to the right and the image of the Prime Minister’s son appeared. “He looks too young to get involved in shady deals. But you nev

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SIXHudderson saw what was about to happen, and so did the young soldier standing next to him.“No! Don’t shoot!” He said to the soldier, but the bullets had already left the gun.The two bullets hit Carissa’s only son on the chest, and the young man fell and died on the spot.Carissa gasped, and going down on her knees, she grabbed her son with both hands and cried. “Morris! Morris!” She shook the young man, but he was almost taking his last breath, gurgling the blood that gushed out of his mouth.Hudderson turned to the soldier. “Let’s go! Now!” He turned in a hurry and the soldier followed him at once.“Everyone! Meet me at the pick-up point and make sure you stay alive! It’s about to get messy in here!” Hudderson hastened his pace, and so did the soldier who was frightened as he ran.Just as expected, Carissa had already sent the five men after Hudderson and his men, and they fired their assault rifles sporadically, shooting even without seeing any ta

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY-EIGHTIt had been over twenty-four hours since Hudderson rescued the Prime Minister’s son, but he could not stop thinking about the words Carissa said to me.He was so withdrawn into his thoughts that he almost didn’t hear the footsteps of his wife and son as they walked to join him in the courtyard of his mansion.He turned and saw Gideon running to him excitedly.“Daddy!” He jumped on his father’s body, almost dropping his toy soldier.Charlotte watched them with a smile, admiring the way Hudderson lifted his son and sat him next to him.“He thought you had left,” She said, causing Hudderson to turn to Gideon at once.“I would never leave you, Gideon. Daddy just had to stay in the military camp. I had somethings to do, okay?”Gideon nodded. “You were fighting bad people?” He asked, and Hudderson chuckled softly.“Yes, I as fighting bad people.” He nodded with a smile.Then he turned to Charlotte and gave her a sign.She walked closer to Gideon and sai

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTYEven the air knew that the Supreme Ruler was offended, tension rising as he looked the Defense Minister in the eyes.“Supreme Ruler?” Henry cleared his throat, and then he leaned forward before he continued with a whisper.“Vladimir Murphy is a very important person in this country. If the news gets out that he was arrested and locked up in a dungeon, it will be a very big insult to the Mog government.”Henry sighed as soon as he was done talking. It looked like he had just gotten rid of something heavy off his chest.“The Mog government has already been insulted, Minister,” Hudderson said calmly, but his eyes were still showing intense annoyance.“You didn’t bother to ask what that old fellow did to make me incarcerate him.” Henry realized his mistake, but it was difficult for him to say any other word.“What did he do?” He finally asked, eyes slowly turning to face the Supreme Ruler.“Vladimir Murphy is paying for the sins he committed against this nat

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY-TWOLara watched as Hudderson stood up and took out his wristwatch which he handed over to her.“Where are you going?” She asked, looking a bit concerned.“I just want to have a word with them, Lara. Nothing more.” Hudderson turned to walk away but Lara grabbed his hand and spoke with a whisper.“I don’t want you to get hurt, Hudderson. I just called you here so that we could catch up.”Hudderson thought what she said was funny, causing him to chuckle softly. “Just keep that watch safe, it’s very precious.”The Supreme Ruler casually walked to one of the tables and sat at the same table with one of the men who had been keeping close eyes on Lara.There were seven of them, but Hudderson could easily tell from the man’s appearance that he could be their leader.“May I?” Hudderson asked even though he had already grabbed a seat.“What do you want?” The man asked, rudely, glaring at Hudderson who sighed before giving him a response.“Who comes to a place like
