These soldiers move very quickly, working with gloved hands so as not to leave DNA around. Tom's body is returned to the van, and the driver is put back in his seat. The incriminating tapes are taken away, Carmen will take it with him, and the last touch is added; details to a Swiss account that holds over fifty million. The plan is very strategic. This will look like Tom Morgan deviated from the plan and tried to free the hostages for a good price, but they attacked him after the cuffs went off. They killed him and his men, and escaped. That's what the Professor will know. As for the bodies, once the police find them, they will see that Tom Morgan is a shady person, and the blue gums drugs will be exposed to the world, showing that the Petrov family is still selling drugs. “Will this be enough to expose the Professor?” Carmen asks, he and Roman are standing outside the van and observing the rest working. “Hell no,” Roman snorts. “It will only expose Jackson Black, and then he

Jackson Black hesitates with distrust, before he walks into the room, and his brother immediately seizes him up in a tight and very long hug. “Well, bring it in, Jackie boy!” The Professor's grin looks so wide and painful. “I've missed you so much.” He finally lets go, and Jackson walks to the corner of the room, from where he can keep an eye on the brother he has never trusted. The Professor goes on to pour out two glasses of wine for them. “Forgive me, but we will just have to make do with the weak, non-alcoholic wine that I've been forced to take here because of my reputation around here.” He snorts. “It just tastes like piss, but it's a little tolerable.” “I'm good, thanks.” The Professor tilts his head to his side. “Jackson, you don't think I could try to poison you now, would you? You are my family!” “Yeah, the entire Petrov family is dead, and you think that I would trust you?” Jackson snorts. “Come on, now. Don't say that.” the Professor snorts. “I didn't kill our fami

When they get to the house, Stephanie is grateful that Roman is not home, so that she wouldn't have to be scared. Athena gladly takes Alex to her room, so that they can be served lunch by the servants, and she uses the opportunity to show him her books in the library. Alex's mum winces as Stephanie puts the final bandage around her arm with a satisfied smile. “There, all better. You don't have to get worried about it, at least for today.” The lady looks at the hand, and even though she can't practically move it too much, she laughs. “I don't have to go to the hospital?” Stephanie eyes squints, but she nods. “Yeah, you don't. But it needs to be checked every few days, and I can do that for you.” She nods and puts her hand away, before grabbing her hand bag. “Thank you…” “Stephanie,” she completes the sentence. “I'm Doctor Stephanie.” “You are a good person, Stephanie. I didn't take Alex away like that because I was trying to be rude, but we don't want to draw attention to ourse

The truth is that Oksana has been scared too, because she believes that one day the Professor will find out about her and her son. She would have stayed away from Stephanie if she had known that Stephanie’s husband was working for the Professor, but it's too late now. Roman is harsh, and strict, but he has made her understand that even though he is about to throw her into the ocean like bait, he will still offer her protection. He might be cold, but he is not heartless. Not when he has a wife and daughter at home. Oksana leans to the side as she uses her handkerchief to wipe her tears from her face. “I… I want to speak to the dragon general.” She finally looks up. “I want to plead my case, I'm not a bad person.” “Oksana, I don't know what your definition of a bad person is, but you murdered people.” “But so did the dragon general, and everyone is praising him. Heck, even Anthony Petrov! He calls himself the Professor now, and people believe that he can't hurt a fly!” She cries

Oksana unfolds the mirror and pushes her hair away from her face. She knows that she looks a mess, she feels like anyone who looks into her face will be able to tell how rough of a patch she has been experiencing of late. She notice a dried streak of blood under her chin, and she curse under her breath as she struggles to peel it off. She glance at her phone, seeing that she has less than an hour to put a stop to this nonsense. She has taken her bath so recently that her hair hasn't fully dry. It doesn't matter, because time is not on her side. Armed with her parental card, she shows it to the security, and they allow her into the building. She makes the turn, and doesn't bother to knock as she enters into the principal's office. The principal looks up and gasps when she sees her. “Miss Bondar!!” Oksana sits down and forces herself to smile at the startled woman. She is startled herself, and she hasn't recovered. “Hello, Principal.” “Miss, you are in a lot of trouble. We ar
