I rushed to the basement, my heart pounding with adrenaline, and retrieved the small suitcase filled with money and the crucial contracts. With a determined look, I lugged the heavy suitcase back up the hill towards Gestalt. The weight was almost too much to bear, and my lungs felt like they were on fire, but I pushed on, driven by the urgency of the situation. As I entered the building, I found Arden and Leslie anxiously waiting, their anxiety evident in their nail-biting and worried expressions. However, as they saw me, their faces lit up with relief. "Bobby!" Leslie exclaimed, while Arden simply called out, "Boss!" "Arden and Leslie, let's go outside," I instructed quickly. We made our way behind Gestalt, where the forest stretched out. My mind was racing with the need to secure our safety and eliminate any evidence. With determination, I fell on my knees and started digging a hole with my bare hands. Then Arden and Leslie swiftly joined in, the three of us working together to cr

My parents' eyes widened in shock and despair, Mykel looking at me with despair as he knew he was manipulated and made a fool. The entire crowd looking at me in surprise and intrigue.Leslie looked at me, his face a mix of disbelief and tearful gratitude, while the judge wore an expression of stunned surprise."Come forward, Sir," the judge commanded.I approached the front of the courtroom and took a seat beside Leslie and his lawyer at the dock.Looking at Leslie's tired and teary face, I whispered, "Didn't I tell you I'd never fuck you over? I'm sacrificing my future for you." My words were only audible to Leslie, and genuine tears welled up in his eyes.Leslie nodded tears falling from his face before turning to the judge and exclaimed, "You see! I didn't do it! I told you!""But that's impossible! There is concrete evidence pointing to your guilt," the judge retorted.With a composed demeanor and a faint smile, I interrupted, "Your honor, I must confess, I am responsible. Ever si

In a composed manner, I remarked, "You remind me of Muhammed and his dumbass friends." My voice remained steady as I continued, "And do you know what will happen to you if we fight? The same way Muhammed ended up.""Who the fuck is Danny?" He shouted, his friends standing up and ready to fight as well. One of his friends started screaming, "Do you know who you're messing with, fucker?""No, I don't. Please explain. I'm new here," I replied, genuinely curious."You're messing with the cats' gang!""Cats... gang? PFHHAHAHAHAH!" I burst into laughter. "What kind of pussy-ass name is that?"All five boys clenched their teeth and screamed as they charged at me. Before they reached me, I took a deep breath and whispered to myself, "Fine, I'll play with you."In a flash, I jumped forward, delivering a forceful knee to the first guy's face as he charged. His head recoiled, and he collapsed with a dented face. While still mid-air, I grabbed the faces of the two men beside him, swiftly slamming

Descending the metal stairs, I noticed Edun sitting alone at one of the tables, waiting for someone to play chess with. Seeing his solitary state, I approached him and said, "Let's play."His eyes lit up with excitement. "Oh, for real? Hell yeah!"We slowly started battling against each other laser-focused and calculating every move. In war, there is always a victor and a loser, but I was determined not to be the one to lose.The tension mounted as beads of sweat formed with each move, causing our hands to tremble as we sat across the wooden chessboard. With my queen, I meticulously captured all his smaller pieces, but halfway through, my queen was taken, leaving me without heavy artillery. However, I cleverly diverted his attention with my rooks, bishops, and knights, eventually reaching the finale where I managed to promote one of my pawns to regain my queen. In a matter of seconds, I gained a significant advantage.With only a queen, a knight, and a rook left on my side and none for

"You've been defeated, Edun," I spoke my first words to him,maintaining a calm but icy tone. "You were supposed to be one of the strongest people in this place, yet you were defeated so easily.""You were just lucky, bitch," he retorted defensively."Perhaps, but I won. The style in which you win may vary, but a victory retains its value, regardless of how you played the game." I spoke a quote which I lived by, then continued, "So because of that, from today onward, you will work for me and help me bring diplomacy to this place.""Tsk, stop with that fucking bullshit. I know you're lying!" Edun shot back."Alright, I won't force you to work for me, but I'll convince you somehow. So tomorrow, after we get released, please stay in our cell block. I have a surprise ready for you," I said with a sly grin."Sure..." he replied, seemingly intrigued by my words.The rest of the day passed in silence as we impatiently waited for our release. Finally, tomorrow arrived, and I could finally lea
