CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FOURThe Supreme Ruler looked like he was happy that Lara’s ex had called. “Answer it.” He said, nodding to affirm his words,.Lara didn’t look like she was prepared for it, but since the Supreme Ruler was the one who spoke to her, she didn’t hesitate to oblige him.She placed the phone on the table and clicked on the speaker icon.A few seconds later, a calm male voice spoke; “Hello, darling. It’s been a while.”“What do you want, Jack?” Lara asked, contempt all over her face while she stared at the phone.“Come on, baby! We don’t have to be enemies, we can still be friends.”“Never!” Lara yelled, fuming in intense hatred.She turned to look at Hudderson, but the Supreme Ruler didn’t bother to say a word. He just kept on staring at the phone while he paid keen attention.“I know what you did, Jack. You sent men to get me.” Lara said, and for a few seconds, Jack couldn’t utter even a word.Then he cleared his throat and spoke with an aggressive tone. “You

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SIXFor a few seconds, Hudderson remained silent while he stared at Jack who looked like he was always angry and never smiled in his life.“I was hoping that we were going to cut to the chase, Jack.” Hudderson cleared his throat twice and continued.“Tell me what kind of deals you carried out for Vladimir Murphy.” He made his reason for coming known, but the American didn’t look happy about it.“I thought you said you came for business.” Jack scowled again, leaning forward with red eyes.“Yes, business…” Hudderson sighed. “That’s the kind of business I am involved in, the kind that deals with knowing what people have done and deciding what to do with them.” Jack was as confused as his three men, and even though he wanted to send Hudderson out of the house, the Supreme Ruler didn’t look like the kind of person that he could easily throw out.“I could easily ask my men to send you out of this place…”“But you haven’t…” Hudderson said calmly, a smirk appe

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY-EIGHTJust like Kyle said, his father was in the living room, but he was not alone.Together with him were Marco Andreev and a lady who looked familiar to Hudderson.“Well, well…” Hudderson walked in with a smirk on his face, causing everyone in the room to turn to him at once, their eyes widening in shock.“If it isn’t the two Devils, who else is it going to be? I guess I am on time to join the party.”Brian exchanged glances with Marco, but it was obvious that the minister of finance was dumbfounded.“Hudderson? What are you doing here?” Brian tried as much as he could to search for his valor, but it left alongside the steadiness of his heartbeat.The Finance Minister was anxious as well, including the middle-aged lady seated next to him.Hudderson said nothing. He preferred to walk up to Charlotte ’s father while he replaced the smile on his face with a frown.“What…” Brian stuttered, taking two steps backward in fear. “What do you want, Hudderson? You

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY“I am on my way!” Hudderson reversed the car and changed direction to once, heading to Akin’s sanctuary.Not even the cars lined up on the road were enough to stop Hudderson from maneuvering his way, and he continued with high speed until he arrived at his location.“Where is she?” He asked as soon as he set his eyes on Akin.“Here.” Mike pointed at one of the screens, and then he wheeled himself close to it.“Your sister still works for the Coded, Hudderson. I believe this is their location.”“Are you sure?” Hudderson asked with his eyes on the screen. “That’s right in the middle of Saint Petersburg.” His eyes remained on the screen, and he didn’t bother to look at his friend.“I spent the entire night trying to figure this out, Hudderson.” Mike sounded very convinced, and then he pointed at a red dot on the screen.“That’s where their headquarters is, Hudderson. That’s where you will find your sister.”Hudderson sighed in relief, unable to hide the sm

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-TWOThe same chauffeur who had picked Hudderson Logan from the airport was the same driver who picked him up at the hotel, and they were on their way to Nova Event Center, one of the biggest halls for events in the City.Miketold the Supreme Ruler about an event that was happening that night.The Coded, the secret machinery and weapon group he had mentioned earlier were having a very important event, and Hudderson was hoping to find Hannah there.He kept his silence, looking out the window while the driver kept on staring at him through the rearview mirror.Then the old man could no longer keep to himself. “My son thinks you are not human.” He said, and Hudderson shifted his gaze to him, thinking that he was talking to someone else.But from the way the driver was looking at him, he was referring to him.Hudderson cleared his throat and adjusted with a plain expression. “Why does your son think that I am not human?” He asked, ignoring the fact that the
