"Ha! What a clown! Did you go home and drink a whole bottle before coming here?""Step aside," Chase said without care. Then he turned to Naomi. "You should stay at a safe distance so you wouldn’t get caught in this feud."Naomi hesitated, then nodded and backed away, gripping the edge of her long sleeve still hesitant.She had moved towards him for protection initially but now that she was seeing things clearly, the opposition looked more than what Chase could handle. "It looks like he didn't hear that he has already been given a verdict," the woman at the counter said coldly. "Beat some common sense into him!"The officers rushed at once, batons raised, aiming for the first man in the way. Chase dodged the first swing with ease. The second officer came in with his baton, and Chase swiped his arm aside. The third swung, and Chase dodged again."Worm!" one of them spat.Chase stepped back and glanced down at his own body. What is going on? he asked himself. Each dodge was closer than

The next morning came like a bad afterthought.Chase remembered how, the previous day, the two workers who had turned in their resignation letters had inspired two more to do the same. Now he was shorter on staff.Lucas had begged him to negotiate with the clients and delay the repayment, but Chase only remembered his own words as he stepped out of the cab.I'll handle it.The cab dropped him in front of Crown Ledger Bank. He didn't even have time to straighten his shirt before he was caught off guard by the scene in front of him.A line of officers stood ready at the entrance, with hard expressions on their faces wearing dark shades and black suits, their muscles bulging through the fabric.Somebody must have borrowed a huge sum and now they're in big trouble, Chase thought."Officers, that's him!" the woman from the counter shouted, pointing straight at Chase. Her partner stood beside her, grinning."Alright, ma'am," said the senior officer, whose badge was different from the others

Chapter 9Chase had barely stepped away from the bank when his phone rang."Hello, sir," Lucas said."Yes, what seems to be the problem?" Chase asked."Sir, I'm sorry to bother you, but something has come up at the office. It needs your attention.""So you're saying a new situation has just risen?""Yes, sir."Chase sighed and looked at the tall bank behind him. He had been expecting to go straight home and enjoy his victory. Evidently, the day wasn't done with him."Alright, then. If that is the case, we'll double it and make it an evening meeting as well. All the workers are present, correct?""Yes, sir. They are all still at the company.""Good. I'm on my way now."He ended the call and hailed a cab.By the time he arrived at the company's front gate, the sun was sinking, and the light reflecting off the glass building gave the surroundings an almost ethereal glow. Chase stopped on the pavement. Something about it was strangely familiar.A sharp throb pulsed through his head, and h

Chase hailed a cab, and soon he arrived at Crown Ledger Bank.True to its name, the bank was a titan of a structure, with tall marble pillars and golden letters above the entrance. It was clear that the city's elite came here to deposit and do all sorts of transactions. Chase walked inside and was immediately met with a sight."Please! My business just needs one more month, and it will start producing fruits! You see, I promise you!"A man was on his knees, begging with his whole heart.Chase looked the man up and down. He was wearing nothing but a white shirt and boxers. His phone, his remaining suit, and his wallet lay on a desk nearby as if they were being processed."No. An extension cannot be granted," a ruthless man in a grey suit said, his arms crossed adamantly. "You have already exceeded your deadline more than three times. We don't grant more extensions. Now the full hammer of judgment will come upon you.""No, please! I will produce results!""Security!" the man called, and

The next day came almost immediately, and Chase woke to the sound of his phone ringing."Good morning, sir," a man's voice said on the other end. Chase didn't recognize it."Who is this?" Chase asked."My name is Lucas, sir. I am your personal assistant at Northline Logistics. Miss Vanessa just handed the arrangement over to me," he said."Oh, I see. Is there any issue?" Chase asked."Well, sir, there is a company meeting scheduled this morning, and I wanted to know if I should come and pick you up.""Never mind. Tell them I'm coming now," Chase answered, and he got up to get ready.Since he was entering an office, a suit would have been the appropriate thing to wear, but he still didn't have the time or the money for one. So he grabbed his normal grey T-shirt and a pair of jeans.He left the apartment, hailed a cab, and told the driver where to go. The drive wasn't far, and when the cab pulled up in front of the company building, he raised an eyebrow in surprise.The building was big

Chase didn't answer the call the previous night. Instead, he went back to his apartment to rest. The apartment had been put back in order. The floorboard was fixed, the broken furniture was replaced, and a note lay on the table with a receipt showing that his rent arrears had been cleared, down to the last penny. There wasn't a single speck of dust.The next morning came quickly, and Chase was thinking about going to see Lily when the roar of an engine outside pulled him to the window.A Rolls-Royce had stopped in front of his building.Chase was surprised. His neighborhood was run-down, not a place where anyone with money ever came. The sleek black car looked completely out of place, and it immediately sparked the curiosity of the neighbors.The driver hurried around and opened the back door. The woman who stepped out was extremely beautiful. Her hair was combed to the side and held in place with a headband. Her eyes were big and blue, her nose was pointed, and her lips were full. S
