CAN YOU HEAR ME?
"Doctor, his temperature is still rising. Should we move him to the intensive care unit?"Dr. Michael Carter glanced at the monitor beside the hospital bed before checking the patient's chart. The man had been brought to the emergency department less than twenty minutes ago, and his condition had already become difficult to manage."His temperature is above forty degrees, and his heart rate is unusually high. We need to find out what's causing this before moving him anywhere. Have the blood samples been sent to the laboratory?""Yes, Doctor. We're waiting for the results."Michael examined the patient again. The man appeared to be in his early thirties, with unkempt hair and several dark marks around his neck. His clothes were dirty, and there were scratches on both his arms. According to the paramedics, he had been found lying near a bus station.Initially, they had assumed he was unconscious because of excessive drinking or drug use. However, he had become aggressive inside the ambu
THEY'RE CELEBRATING TOO EARLY
"New owner?" Selene repeated, staring at the previous owner as if she had misheard him.The older man nodded with a confident face without any confusion like the people before him. "Yes, Mr. Lancaster and Ms. Harrison have purchased the entire shopping mall. The agreement has been signed, and the remaining formalities are being completed."George glanced at Xavier before turning towards Daisy. "You must be joking. Are you telling me that you two actually bought this entire mall?""Is there something difficult to understand?" Daisy asked with a faint smile. "We were interested in the property, so we purchased it."Selene struggled to hide her disbelief. She had known Daisy was wealthy, but she hadn't expected her to make such a massive investment with Xavier."That's quite an expensive purchase. I didn't know you were interested in running shopping malls, Xavier," Selene remarked. "Or did you simply convince Daisy to spend her money on your behalf? So that you can show off to the world
NEW OWNER?
"Are you sure you want to purchase the entire shopping mall?" Daisy asked as she glanced through the documents on the table.Xavier sat across from her, reviewing the final figures before signing the agreement. "Didn't we already discuss this? I wouldn't have come here if I wasn't interested."Daisy gave a small smile. "I know you're interested. I'm just making sure you understand how much we're investing. The mall has several vacant stores, maintenance expenses are high, and the previous owner has been struggling to keep it profitable. It's not exactly a small investment.""That's precisely why we're getting it at a reasonable price, to be honest at a low price," Xavier replied with a smirk. "The location is good, the building is large, and the facilities are worth more than what the current business is generating. We don't need to make a profit from it immediately."Kate, who was standing beside Xavier, checked the remaining documents. "Boss, the legal team has already reviewed the
DID WE GET ROBBED?
“An empty basement may prove that you have nothing to hide inside this house, but it doesn't prove that you're innocent of everything, brother Xavier.”George's voice interrupted the conversation between Xavier and the senior officer.The officer turned towards him with visible irritation.“Mr. George, you can't just make accusations like that without providing evidence.”“I'm not making accusations without reason,” George responded, trying to maintain his composure. “You have inspected the house, and I understand that you haven't found anything. However, what about his activities outside this property? What about his meetings with black-market executives and the large quantities of goods he has been purchasing through them?”Xavier had expected this.He knew George wouldn't remain quiet after seeing the empty basement. There was a reason he had been so eager to bring the officers here, and he wouldn't leave without trying another approach.Xavier glanced at the senior officer and rai
I APPRECIATE YOUR GENEROSITY
“Mr. Lancaster, please open this door.”Xavier glanced at the officer standing in front of the basement entrance before turning his attention to Selene and George.Both of them had faint smiles on their faces.Selene seemed particularly pleased with how things were unfolding. She had been waiting for this moment since they arrived, convinced that the officers would finally discover something Xavier couldn't explain.George, on the other hand, was enjoying the situation far more than he showed.‘Let's see how you get out of this one, Xavier.’He had spent enough time watching Xavier's movements to know that the man had been making unusual purchases. There were reports of supplies, equipment, and weapons being moved around through different channels. Even if the officers hadn't found anything upstairs, the basement was another matter.‘You can't hide everything forever. Once they find what you've been collecting, your money and influence won't be enough to save you.’George almost laugh
PLEASE OPEN THIS DOOR
“Brother Xavier, why are you speaking like that?” George appeared momentarily uncomfortable, but he quickly recovered his composure.“I'm only trying to help you. Everyone knows you've been acting strangely since leaving Horizon, especially after your divorce with sister Selene, and these allegations aren't going to disappear simply because you refuse to acknowledge them.”“Then let the officers explain the allegations themselves.” Xavier suggested with a calm face as if he has nothing to hide from people. “I would rather hear the facts from people who have come here to investigate than listen to your assumptions.”The senior officer stepped forward, holding the documents he had brought with him.“Mr. Lancaster, we've received reports that you're attempting to monopolize essential goods and have illegal weapons stored on your property. We're here to determine whether these allegations are accurate. Do you have anything you'd like to tell us before we begin the inspection?”Xavier mai
