“Okay, I understand. I’ll meet you downstairs for the training,” Dane replied.

As he took his bat and went downstairs, he saw Jane waiting for him. He walked up to her.

“It’s time,” she said. “I need you to punch my palm.”

She held her palm forward and told Dane to hit it. Dane punched her palm.

She frowned. “Your punch is weak. First, you need to build your strength before you can become strong. That’s the first step.”

She crossed her arms. “Now, you’re going to start with push-ups. Get on the ground. Start now,” Jane ordered.

“One, two, three, four, five…”

Dane could only do 15 push-ups before he collapsed, breathing heavily. He couldn’t go any further because he was very weak physically. He was good at stealing things, but when it came to combat or anything requiring strength, he was lacking.

“You’re so weak,” Jane said.

“Sorry about that. I know I’m not that strong,” Dane admitted.

“So first, let’s build your stamina. Today, you’re going to jog 10 kilometers. Do you understand? Aft

  • Deadly Precision

    Dane and Fablo continued exchanging blows, fists crashing into stomachs, ribs, and shoulders.“Fuck… this is insane,” Dane thought, gritting his teeth. “It’d be easier to fight someone my size. His punch is harder than mine—but I’m holding my own.”They traded punch after punch, sweat and blood mixing with the adrenaline coursing through their veins. At one moment, Dane swung a heavy punch, but Fablo dodged with lightning speed, grabbing Dane by the neck and lifting him off the ground.Reacting instinctively, Dane raised his leg, kicking Fablo and clamping down on his neck at the same time. Pain and force collided as they struggled midair. Finally, Fablo threw Dane to the ground. He rolled and sprang back up, only for Fablo to grab him again, pulling him up and slamming him onto the floor.“Shit… my spine… feels like it cracked,” Dane muttered through gritted teeth, standing back up.Their eyes locked. Dane leapt with all his strength, driving a knee toward Fablo’s face. Fablo recoile

  • Crossfire

    “So you lied to me and said you are someone you are not. You said your name is Francisco,” Alessandro said, his tone sharp.“I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to do that,” Dane replied calmly.“I don’t have a problem with you as long as you give me the money,” Alessandro continued.“Sorry, please… Mr. Alessandro, I’m talking to him. Give me some time—let me figure this out,” Riccardo interjected.“So, you fat man, what do you plan to do?” Dane asked, his gaze fixed on Riccardo.“Well, the lady by your side… you can’t protect her,” Dane added, his eyes narrowing.“Right. If you dare look away from me, then no. What will be left is your dead body,” Riccardo growled.One of Riccardo’s men stepped closer to Jane, assuming she wasn’t a threat. He grabbed her wrists. “Come here,” he said.Without hesitation, Jane raised her leg, her high heel connecting with his head. He collapsed instantly.Another man lunged toward her. Jane didn’t reach for her gun—she didn’t want them to know she had one. Instea

  • Unexpected Raid

    Dane stood up and walked toward the travelling bag. He opened it.Hmm…” he murmured. “Bring it here. Let me check if it’s real.” Alessandro said.Dane shook his head slightly. “No. Let me see the diamond first,” he said firmly.Alessandro nodded and carefully brought the diamond out, placing it on the table. “Is this real?” he asked, glancing at Jane.“My diamond specialist is here. I’d like him to assess the diamond,” Jane said.“Okay… you may,” Alessandro replied.“Please, Jane, have him brought in,” Dane requested.“No problem,” Jane said. She stepped out of the container and called the diamond specialist, a hooded man carrying a microscope. He entered quietly and took a seat at the table, carefully examining the diamond.“Wow… this is legit,” the specialist said after a moment, eyes wide. “Yes, it’s real. Legit. Absolutely real.”Alessandro then turned to the money. “Now it’s our turn to verify if this cash is real,” he said.“No problem. You may proceed,” Dane replied.With a han

  • Negotiations

    “Why did I leave? Why do I feel sad? In a way… did I actually like Gina? I just wanted to see them, but I feel sad. Shit, I shouldn’t have left,” he muttered as he got off the bike.He drove back to the building, entered, took the elevator, and went straight to his room. Tomorrow is a big day. I have to be prepared.As he was about to sleep, he suddenly stood up. “What the hell am I doing? Why the hell do I want to sleep? I don’t want to sleep.”He wanted the money in cash. How am I going to see about $250 million in cash?He got up and walked to the GME office. There, he saw money filling a traveling bag—about $4,000 in a bundle.“Wow! What the hell is this? How the hell do you have this much money? Is this the one we’re taking tomorrow?” he asked.“Yes, it is,” Jimmy confirmed.“Jane told me she needed the amount. And some of Butcher’s stuff… money—they find it hard to put it in the bank. So $200 million is no big deal,” Jimmy explained.“Wow. Where is she?” Dane asked.“She’s in he

  • Reunions

    As they arrived, they entered the large building and took the elevator. When they reached Jimmy’s office, they told him everything.As Dane prepared to leave, he said, “Hey, can you give me a key for that bike? I want to go see someone.”“Who do you want to go see?” Jimmy asked.“Am sure you know,” Dane replied.“Do you want to go see Butcher and Nephew? I would advise you to stay away from them. There are bad people now—they’re good, but the bosses won’t like it,” Jimmy warned.“What if I just get the key?” Dane asked.Jimmy handed it to him. Dane took the key, walked out of the building, mounted the bike, and started it. After a one-hour ride, he finally stopped.He walked up, thinking, The last time I spoke to them, they said they might not stay in the country. I don’t know…He looked at the massive building before him. Opening the gates, he walked in and saw a dog run toward him, jumping and licking him excitedly.“Remember me, doggie? You remember me?” he said, rubbing its head.

  • $250 Million Diamond Deal

    “Okay, you might be right. So when will they make the transaction?” Dane said. Then Jane came back. He sent it. Jane said something, and Dane nodded. “Hmm, what were you saying? Say it again.”Alessandro said. “Let’s make the transaction.” Dane said. “Okay, Mr. Francisco, send it here, and I will give it to you—or you can come collect it. Send the money, let me see it.” Alessandro said. “No, no, no, no, no. I’m not doing it that way. Let me see it. When I see it, I will give you your money. You give me the diamond,” Dane said. “I’m not—it’s not with me now. I can’t bring it to you, and I wouldn’t want to waste your time. Make the transaction, and I can give you a certain location where you can come collect it. I can’t put it here in the open,” Alessandro said. “But you were the one who said we should come when this side is safe,” Dane said. “Okay… you want to see the diamond first?” Alessandro asked. “Yes. If you are with the diamond, I will give you the money. Yes, the transa
