Victor Escobar's feet thumped against the marble floor as he walked into an exclusive, dimly lit room. Everything about his obscure expression screamed menace.

The cartel's enforcer hardly had an approachable demeanor except when his blood flow tingled with excitement.

The room ambience dripped with indistinct whispers among the members. Most arrived a few minutes ago after receiving a code message for an emergency meeting.

After the last meeting— they hadn't slept with their eyes closed without imagining an unknown person spying on them from a distance.

The hunter has become the hunted!

Despite their obscure faces, from a mere stare, they could detect the enforcer's hardened expression, which triggered further indistinct murmurs.

“Do you think the enforcer had made more progress in fishing out who was responsible for rescuing the prime minister?”

“I can't wait to have him divulge why he called f

  • 97: Victoria's Masterstroke

    Victoria Stones took a moment to exalt herself for being a master plotter. She threw a quarter of the smoked cigarette to the floor and stepped on it with a lit-up face.“I have helped fake your brother's death and had him off the BAFCC blacklist as long as he's not found in Madrid.”A mean expression consumed her face. “Now it's time to keep to the end of the bargain. Lucia must taste defeat.”Felix nodded, he couldn't have agreed more. “I'll get to work. Do you have ideas?”Victoria scoffed and smacked her teeth. “You should know better. I have envisaged possible ways this operation would go without things getting messier.”Felix nodded; his stare didn't show any shadow of doubt. With what Victoria did with Abel, she certainly had schemed means of throwing Lucia off the fence.She mouthed with a firm breath, “It's one thing to work under Lucia and another to get her burned.”“I wouldn't let myself be the second Sharon Grace. History wouldn't repeat itself with my head on the choppin

    On Liverpool's border with Manchester, a few miles away from the Titanic Memorial Park.Felix Jacobs stood under a tree like he was instructed twenty minutes ago when he received clear directives.With every skip of his heartbeat, he darted his eyes across the environment while tapping his feet on the pavement to subdue the light anxiety.It has been an eventful day for him in protecting his older brother from getting thrown behind bars.Exactly at 7 PM, a white BMW M4 accelerated its engine towards him with precision. With the blink of the headlights, he already knew the wait was over.He turned facing the car with his expression tugged with caution. Victoria Stones alighted from the car with grace, with one of her fingers aimed towards her waist.Felix's lips parted in sarcasm, “Huh, the Queen of Manchester has finally arrived. I thought you'd stand me up after waiting for over ten minutes.”Victoria chimed a complicated beam and rolled her eyes towards two of her bodyguards who got

  • 95: Let's Play The Damn Game

    Brig. Stones scoffed, drew a firm breath. “Exactly what I asked the professionals, and they all came up with a similar idea: Abel was skillfully injected with tetrodotoxin, which temporarily shut down his body and made him seem lifeless.”“Don’t be mistaken, a second dose must be readmitted in less than three hours after the first, and in all indications they met up with time after he was confirmed dead, ‘cause Abel Hitler is very much alive.”BOOM!Brig. Stones zipped his lips afterwards for his words to sink in before indulging them once again.Silence followed after his voice and it looked like everyone in the living room was being controlled by a mute remote.Achilles muffled a beam and didn't flinch in the process of being enlightened. His gut feeling was so certain that something wasn't adding up about Abel's concocted death news.In Achilles' clinical assessment, everything about Abel's death appeared rushed and unreal right from the moment he learned Mr. Hitler wasn't shot, st

    Achilles maintained a composed gesture and kept smirking with a knowing intent. He placed his arms in an akimbo position swiping through the photos.“Of everything I know about Eunice Hayden. In all her deceitful endeavours and selfish agendas. I didn't know she'd be a blackmailer of such despicable height.”Achilles scoffed as his expression turned serious. “It's a pleasure that I'd have to haunt her again, and this time around, not just out of resentment but to uphold justice.”Achilles strode towards the dining table and calmly crossed his legs, still smirking at Eunice's face cap photos.The Faithfuls had their eyes squinted to process all the warlord had been revealing.None of them had encountered Eunice beforehand and couldn't have easily identified her when her photos popped up on the projector.Before needing Achilles' help in saving the Prime Minister. They knew little about the Haydens' family until the warlord got them involved in his revenge plot a few months back.The Fa

    Achilles' words resonated. They had shared the same thoughts after George threw light on the company’s infiltrators.Since Achilles moved into the shadows to fight the cartel, there have been mini battles along the way that he felt he should have fished out the powerful entity if not for the distortions that came on its path. Margaret sighed and dished out her thoughts, “This is unacceptable! Why would the external blackmailers wait for booming companies to make their mark before executing their schemes?”“This is so wrong!”Negative emotions flushed on their faces as all Faithfuls members complained about how Liverpool City had been influenced by such vices.Brig. Stones still hadn't gotten over the death of the female staff member who was used as a pawn in their dirty game. She still would have been alive if the blackmail hadn't been initiated. In his thoughts, he sneered at how her dreams and aspirations were shattered in the crossfire.Brig. Stones went into more detail, “We also

    Achilles let out a cold smirk, “Oh really? This is getting absolutely interesting.”The shockwaves that came with Brig.
