Chapter 212
“He's here.” Katrina said, rudely shaking a sleeping Emily. Emily rubbed the back of her hands against her still drowsy eyes, not at all following what Katrina was saying. “Who's here?” she asked groggily. “Who else would I be disturbing your rest for?... Your husband.” Katrina said with a playful tone. That knocked out the last remnant of sleep from Emily’s eyes instantly.In record time, she was out of bed and shooting out the room, her heart racing as she got closer to the entrance. And her breath froze in her throat just as her legs halted their movement. He really was here. There he stood, magnificent as ever dressed all in black, his hair neatly groomed against his scalp and as handsome as she remembered. He offered her his megawatt signatory smile and she needed no further prompting, running at full speed to fling herself at him. He hugged her tightly to himself and Emily wrapped her limbs about him to get closer, but at the same time she was mindful of the bump. She
Chapter 211
Figuring out those who abducted Otto and the two students with him didn't take much time as Sylvester had every hacker at his disposal looking for them. They made use of every available camera and satellite they could break into till they successfully hit jack pot. A messenger was quickly dispatched to Sylvester's study where he was with Gerald and Hozert. “Found them, sir.” he announced after bowing slightly. Sylvester's eyes took on a deadly look. “Where?” The messenger dropped a tablet with a map displayed on its screen on the table. He pointed out a position on it as the others crowded round it. “Here sir.” It was some distance away from the clan's territory. “We caught him on one the sattelite we got into. And we also found out his smart watch was with him.”Sylvester nodded in approval. “Excellent job. You may leave.”He looked at Gerald. “I need a team to rescue them… unscathed.”“I will put a team together, boss.” Gerald said and bowed. He started moving away but Sylves
Chapter 210
Sylvester was still on the phone with Emily when Otto walked in, standing quietly to one side while he waited for Sylvester to be done. Sylvester eyed him speculative as he listened to whatever Emily was saying. From the serious look on his face, Sylvester could tell he had something bugging him. “Sylvester… about last time. Did you hear what I told you?” she asked in a small tone. Sylvester knew what she was referring to but he wasn't ready to confront that just yet. He opted to be ignorant instead. “I didn't quite catch what it was you were saying. There was so much static and then the line went dead… I guess it was due to a bad connection.” he lied, keeping his fingers crossed beneath the table. He heard Emily’s sharp intake of breath and felt bad about lying to her but he couldn't afford to be distracted right now. There was so much at stake here. Surely, she should understand. “For the sake of clarity, I will repeat it again…” she said slowly through the phone and Sylvester
Chapter 209
Sylvester waited to hear from Gerald and Otto, his eyes still trained on the screen, still studying the features of the man he considered the mole. It was a face he vaguely remembered as one of the newest recruits in his army after the traitors bought off by Viktor left but he couldn't remember the name. Just when he was about to lose his patience and call his team, his study phone rang. He snatched up the phone impatiently. “Do you have them?” he demanded immediately. “No sir. By the time we arrived at the scene, they had already discarded the vehicle and escaped. I'm sorry, boss.” Otto explained. Sylvester shook his head. “Doesn't matter. Get back to the compound now. I have something to show you guys.”“Yes, sir.” They responded in unison and Sylvester heard the sound of the engine as they gunned it and turned around. Within minutes, the entire team was back at the compound. Sylvester wasted no time, leading Otto and Gerald to his study. He turned his laptop around and poi
Chapter 208
The next morning was busy as the infantry got set to move out, patiently awaiting Sylvester's orders to move their target location. “Sir, everyone is set.” Gerald announced, stepping into Sylvester's study. Sylvester looked up from something he was studying on his desk. “All platoons?”“Yes sir.”Sylvester rolled up the map he was studying and followed Gerald to the training ground, his eyes already taking note of everything. Everyone became silent, waiting for Sylvester to address them. But Sylvester's sharp ears picked out some few whispers. “... Why is he still on plain clothes when we going out to battle?”“... Do you think he is going with us?”Sylvester cleared his throat for silence. “I have an announcement to make.” he told them in a loud steady voice. Murmur swept over the army as they deliberated curiously about what he had in mind to announce. He allowed them to guess among themselves for a while before deciding to move on with his announcement. “After much delibera
Chapter 207
Sylvester pulled up short, his mouth hanging open at the sight that greeted him. Forget a single assassin, Viktor had sent a small army to infiltrate the compound. Sylvester quickly assessed the situation. Despite him having the advantage in numbers, Viktor's assassins were more seasoned, their experience in battle making it hard for Sylvester's people to push them back. As he watched, he saw a woman being struck down from behind as she battled with someone else before her. Two other people dropped after that. With a angry growl, Sylvester spread out his arms and rushed into the throng of battling bodies, flinging out energy at the assassins he had witnessed cutting down his people. After cutting down the three assassins, he lifted his face to the skies and roared, the veins on his neck standing out with the effort but it did the job. Everyone fighting heard it and immediately rallied towards him, his voice boosting up their already dwindling strength. The tables turned on Vikto
