The woman seated at the head of the table slowly leaned forward. She was dressed in an elegant black suit, and unlike the other members of the group, she carried herself with the kind of authority that made it obvious she was the leader of Club 12.Her eyes moved from Henry to Darren.“Henry Murphy,” she said coldly, “we sent you to bring Eddie Murphy’s head. Who is this young man you have brought here?”Henry remained silent for a moment before a sly smile appeared on his face.The woman’s expression became colder.“Did you forget that this meeting is supposed to be secret? Nobody is supposed to know about Club 12, and nobody who is not a member is supposed to know about this place.”“I did not forget,” Henry replied with a small smile. “I know exactly how important this meeting is.”“Then explain yourself.”Henry slowly turned toward Darren.“I could not bring Eddie.”Several members immediately frowned. “You could not bring him?” one of the men asked angrily.Henry shook his head.

Adrian was the first person to answer the woman's question. He leaned back in his chair and looked at Darren with a confident smile.“What if he is not bluffing?” Adrian repeated, almost as if the question amused him. “There is no need to worry about that.”The woman looked at him. “And why are you so certain?”Adrian smiled.“Because I went to the same school as this loser. I have known Darren Hilton for years. Nobody in this room knows him better than I do.”Darren remained completely silent.Adrian pointed at him.“I can tell when he is bluffing. I could probably tell even if I were asleep. Darren does not have any trick hidden up his sleeves. He is only trying to play mind games with all of you because he knows he is screwed.”One of the men around the table nodded in agreement.“That makes sense.”Another member laughed. “Exactly. He knows he cannot fight all these armed guards, so he is trying to frighten us.”Adrian nodded confidently.“That is exactly what he is doing. He know

The 12 became desperate as they began begging Darren for mercy. Some pleaded with him to reconsider, while others tried to explain that they had never personally done anything to him.However, Darren remained unmoved by their words. He had already made his decision, and there was nothing they could say that would change it.That was when Adrian stepped forward. Unlike the others, he did not immediately beg for his life. Instead, he looked at Darren and tried to make an offer. “Darren, you should spare me. I can transfer fifty million dollars to you right now. After all, your family has lost everything, so fifty million dollars should be a very large amount of money for you.”For a moment, Darren stared at him. A smile slowly appeared on his face, and within seconds, the smile turned into a loud guffaw. Adrian looked at him in confusion, but when he realized Darren was laughing, he assumed it was because Darren was happy about his offer. He began laughing as well.“You see?” Adrian s

Without saying anything, Darren grabbed Henry by the back of his collar and began dragging him toward the ceiling-to-floor windows that overlooked the city.Henry's eyes widened when he realized where Darren was taking him. He immediately began struggling and begging. “Darren, please! Don't do this! We can talk about this. We can settle everything like gentlemen!”Darren stopped and looked at him.“I am not a gentleman,” he replied coldly.Henry's face turned pale.Darren grabbed him firmly and looked toward the window. His voice became dangerously cold as he said, “This is for Eddie and Mr. Jordan.”Before Henry could say another word, Darren unceremoniously threw him through the window from the top floor of the five-story building.Henry disappeared from sight. A few seconds later, Darren heard the sound of something dull crashing below.Darren felt no regret for the bastard. After everything Henry had done, this was the least he deserved.He turned his attention to the two sheets

The next day, Darren realized that he had forgotten an important matter. In fact, it was perhaps even more important than everything he had handled the previous day.Their upcoming case against Joseph Whitmore.Darren had spent the entire previous day dealing with Henry and Club 12, and in the process, he had completely forgotten that the hearing for their case against Joseph was supposed to begin the next day. Worse still, after discovering that Joseph had bought the law chamber that was supposed to handle their case, Darren was now left without lawyers.He needed to find new ones.However, before Darren went out to handle that matter, there was something else he needed to do.He took the two documents he had brought home the previous night and went to a delivery service. Rather than giving them directly to Eddie, Darren anonymously sent the documents to him.If he handed them to Eddie himself, Eddie would naturally ask where he had gotten them. That could eventually lead Eddie to c
