21: Skyler Resumes Work
Chapter 21Ava stepped forward. “What?" Disbelief crossed her eyes. “No, no." A shake of her head. “Your father assigned them. You can't just dismiss them. Besides, it's for your own safety.” She explained with great esteem, trying to let David understand. But the latter shook his head and replied indifferently. “And I said, I don't want them." Ava swallowed. She was hesitant. "But you need them. You need them in case any danger or threat arises. They aren't just accompanying us for nothing.”"Why question my order? I want them to retreat. And it should be so.” He didn't mean to sound harsh at that moment, but he had to. After knowing his true identity, he had decided he was going to stay hidden. Undercover. And if he goes out with these guards and these opulent cars lined up, escorting him, it is going to raise suspicion. But Ava wasn't relating. He sighed, eyes on Ava. "As I said earlier, I don't want attention. And this? It brings them.” His gaze moved and swept over the guard
22: Everett's Info.
Chapter 22As they entered his office, Everett scanned outside briefly, then pushed the door shut. He turned and walked inside. Skyler Bennett had already taken a seat. Her leg crossed over the other, relaxed. Everett sighed as he sat opposite her. He stared at her. Skyler, nonchalantly seated, didn't flinch. Both looked at each other. No one said a word. Just stare for a longer moment. Finally, a sigh escaped from Skyler's lips, slightly getting annoyed, especially from her last conversation with Everett, the way he shouted at her earlier.“What's it?" She asked rudely. Everett sensed her annoyance. He rubbed his face, exhaling. Then leaned forward, his hands moved. “I'm sorry." He tried to take Skyler's hands, but she pulled them back. A sigh. Not exasperating. A frustrating one. He remained forward, his two hands resting on the table. “Sorry for the way I shouted at you earlier," he said. “But Skyler, you need to understand the implications of what just happened today."
23: David Visit His father's Conglomerate
Chapter 23The car stopped.David stepped out and he gasped, taken aback by the vast empire. “My Dad owns all of these?" He asked, completely shocked. Ava nodded as she led him. "Yes. He built everything from scratch.”David shook his head in amazement. His eyes opened wide, filled with astonishment and disbelief. Said nothing.“Dave’s Group is a conglomerate company, a combination of a Private Security Company, Media Firm, and a Transport Company.”She led him to an elaborate tinted glass building, strategically built in a corner not far from the main gate to have visibility over the entire compound. THE PRIVATE SECURITY COMPANY BUILDING. The place was strictly quiet and extremely monitored.Surveillance cameras were everywhere. Guard towers mounted. And armored vehicles were parked nearby.An uncountable number of uniformed guards and former military personnel bowed their heads at the same
24: The Old Man I
Chapter 24 Ava turned back and smiled at him. She said nothing, but continued to show him around. “Over there,” she pointed. “Is the central administrative wing,” she explained calmly. “Only board members, executive councils, and high-ranking administrators are permitted to go in.” She took David further. Then stood in front of frosted doors. “And this is the main boardroom.” The doors beeped in recognition. "All strategic decisions concerning the conglomerate are finalized here.” They slid open silently. Ava stepped aside. David walked forward. In the boardroom, at the center, stood a long polished conference table surrounded by high-backed executive chairs. Large digital presentation screens were hung up on the wall alongside the company insignia on the other side. The place exuded luxury. David co
25: The Old Man II
Chapter 25 David frowned at the sight. “What's happening?" He didn't look at Ava. Ava shrugged. “Don't know. Let's have a look." “There is no room for reconsideration. You said this the last time you came and nothing. No positive result.” A man dressed in a uniform snapped angrily at the old man. He was one of the staff members working here. “It isn't my fault, I swear. Each time I try to meet up, family issues come up.” The old man's voice broke, nose watery. He swallowed, voice dropping. "And there's no way I can avoid them.” The staff member glared at him, not buying his excuses. "Then stop coming! Stop coming here. This isn’t any charity organization. This is business-oriented. Strictly for business. If you can't meet the demand. Then stop coming.” The old man tried to beg. “It’s business we do here.” The old man tried to beg….

26: The Staff Members' Foolishness
Chapter 26The staff member was reluctant. He didn’t know who David was since there had been no formal introduction of him. He moved his gaze to Ava, expecting to receive a different reaction. But the latter shouted at him. “Are you deaf or what? Do as commanded or lose your job.”The staff member’s body vibrated. Fear gripped him instantly. He nodded immediately, his throat was completely dry.He reached out to his phone, his fingers trembling as he unlocked it, scrolling through his contacts in search of a particular number. “Bring the car.” He described it briefly. “To the gate. Now.” His voice was low, but carried a heavy weight. He ended the call without waiting for a response. “It’s on the way.” He looked up to say, trying to steady his voice. David said nothing, hands tucked into his pocket. His expression stayed unreadableNot up to a minute…..Vroom.
27: Albert Watson
Chapter 27The car was still on its way, silence heavy inside when the old man eventually broke it. He looked through the rearview mirror, his grip tight against the steering wheel, and inquired curiously. “Who really are you, Sir, sorry, David?” David smiled while seated at the back. “Just a human like you." The old man shook his head sideways. "That's not what I meant.” He responded politely. "The last time I encountered you, you looked like someone without a background. I mean, you couldn't even pay me. You even attempted to give me your clothes.” A sharp pause before he continued. "How come about this?”David shifted on his seat, pretending he didn't know what the old man was talking about. "About what?”A sigh escaped. "About everything. Everything that happened back there. The influential Ava seemed to adhere to your command. In fact, you seem powerful with a strong background. Wealthy.” He looked ba
28: David Challenges Albert Watson
Chapter 28The man turned, his face twitched with irritation as he took David in. “And who are you?" He asked, his voice belittling. David didn't bother himself to respond. He pulled his hand out of his pocket, eyes turning dark as he stared at the fuming man. “He’s paying nothing," he repeated, expression unreadable. His voice was absolute, carrying no hint of fear. “This old man mistakenly hit your table. He tried to apologize, but you didn't let him. You hit him hard. You disrespected him despite his age and you still want him to pay you?”David shook his head firmly. "No, that's not going to happen.”The man shot David a deadly glare. “How dare you talk to me like that?" He said with gritted teeth. “Do you know who I am? I'm Albert Watson, a multi-millionaire. No one dares me and goes unpunished." He bragged.David didn't flinch. He looked directly at Albert's face and said. “Who asked you all of that? Or are you
29: Albert Sets to deal with David
Chapter 29He pressed the phone to his ear as it was ringing.It rang and ended without any answer.Albert redialed.Same thing….no answer.He bit his lips, frustrated. “Come on, Venom. Pick up." He forwarded the call for the third time. It was ringing and just when it was about to end again without any response…."Hello, who are you?” A deep voice came out. “Why are you disturbing this line?”Albert sighed. He didn't bother to respond to the man's question. “Where's The Venom? Please, give him the phone. I have a job for him.”A short silence from the other end. "Alright. Hold on.”Albert nodded although the other man could not see him. He said nothing, waiting for the phone to be passed. "What job is it?” A more muscular voice than the previous one peered through the speaker. Recognizing the voice, Albert Watson, shifted, straightening himsel
30: Venom Reign's Men
Chapter 30Back at the restaurant, David and the old man had finished eating. The old man had joined after several reluctances, his mind still uneasy. The weight of Albert's threat still weighed on his mind as he stood beside David.David pulled out his card and placed it down on the counter. “Charge it," He said calmly.The receptionist nodded, took the card, and swiped it over a machine.Beep. A sharp sound echoed and abruptly stopped. She looked up, holding the card. "Here you go. Debited successfully.”Just as David collected the card and turned to leave….An old, worn-out black jeep drove into the compound and came to an abrupt stop, with the back tires almost leaving the ground, throwing dust in the air. The doors swung open and two men jumped down almost at the same time.The first man was putting on a thick black jacket, his right hand left casually, but purposely tucked in
