He hung up and slipped his phone back into his pocket, turning his attention back to the prison gates. This warden thought he was some small town lawyer to push around. But Quince was no amateur - he had faced worse challenges and always emerged victorious. Reflecting on it again, this case meant too much - it was about more than just Jen's freedom. It was a chance to restore justice against a crooked system. Quince spat out the bubble gum in his mouth and climbed into his car. As he drove away from the prison, a confident yet enigmatic smile spread across his face. The warden had no idea what was coming for him... =======================Meanwhile, Kimber Kim had summoned Jake to his house after Felix left the company. He needed updates on Felix's life - especially love life - and wanted to inform him of something else. By the time Jake arrived, Kimber Kim was in the basement of the building. Jake was led to the basement and met him on a rocking chair, muttering to himsel
~MoperVille Central Prison~The tall fences with barbed wire surrounded the prison grounds. The area outside reminded one of an empty desert - dusty, with hardly any plants except for scrub grass. As it was during break time, the inmates walked around in faded orange jumpsuits and rubber slippers. Guards were watching from tall towers up above, making sure nothing went wrong. Some prisoners played basketball on cracked courts. Others were jogging. The unlucky ones paced the edges like trapped cats, squinting at the bright sun. In the middle of this, a man in white robe entered the prison gates, his eyes scanning around the prison.He adjusted his priestly collar and straightened the black robe draped over his shoulders. The guards eyed him suspiciously but waved him through the metal detector.As he reached the checkpoint, one of the guards held up a hand. "No approved visits today, father,” he said, standing in front of the entrance to block him.The priest kept his expression ca
Meanwhile, Quince's mind turned back to the warden's challenge. He said there was no way he'd be able to meet Jen, right? He was going to show him that he was not called Kingsley Quince for nothing!He smiled to himself. The warden had no idea who he was dealing with.He strode from Jen's cell and made his way to the warden's office.He already gathered all the information about the warden and discovered he was a person of influence in the prison. No wonder Zechariah chose him.He knocked at the door and a gruff voice answered, "Hold on..."However, Quince immediately opened the door and stepped into the office. The warden was sitting behind his desk, filling out paperwork. He glanced up in annoyance. "Hey! You're supposed to let me say "come in" before you…" the words died in his throat when he saw the face. "Mr. Quince?!"The warden's face turned pale as the paperwork fell from his hand, his mouth dropping open in stunned surprise.His hands trembled as he gripped the edge of his d
At Kimber Kim's place, they found out the place the bug was beeping from was a rundown gambling den at a corner of the city. Felix was soon informed, and together with the boys of the Kims and the entire police force of the city, they all went to bring Alejandro down - once and for all.A fleet of intimidating black SUVs and multiple police vans pulled up at the gambling den. Dozens of large men in crisp suits marched out alongside a large battalion of uniformed police officers, forming a circle round the place, giving no chance for Alejandro to escape.“Alejandro Kim, you are being surrounded! Surrender now!” The head of the police threatened, the policemen and Kimber Kim's henchmen ready for action.People in the den looked up in shock from their seats at the various tables and machines.Alejandro, who was in the middle of almost winning a round, flew into shock when he heard the sound. Who were they? He sat frozen with dread as he stared at the fleet of black SUVs and police va
"Are you okay? Did you get hurt? Did that bastard Alejandro do anything to you? Are you sure you'll be fine?" Elsa fired Felix with questions the moment he returned home.They sat at the dining table. "One question at a time. I'm okay, and everything went well." He paused, his eyes narrowing. "But why do I feel like this went too smoothly? It feels like this is a foreshadow of the main show. Weird, right?"Although Elsa also felt the same way, after all, something that they had been pursuing for a long time suddenly ended in just a day, she knew he needed to relax. She reassured him with a smile, "Were you expecting a chaotic scene with running, shooting, cursing, and fistfights? Felix, we've finally overcome a major obstacle. You should take this as a chance to focus on your own life, finding your kidnapper and my mother's killer. You've been too caught up in all this that you probably forget you're still the next owner of Kim's Empire." She held his hands and said, "Let's celebrate
Two days later, and it was the day of the first trial for Jen's case. The MoperVille high court was crowded and it was like the whole city was in attendance.As the prosecution arrived, they were quickly flooded with questions from the news journalists and interviewers in the premises."What do you have to say about the death of your son?" A reporter questioned, running after Zechariah as they stepped out of the car."What do you think will be the outcome of today's argument?" Another one asked."If the accused is proven not guilty, would you still go for revenge?""Was your son truly involved in domestic violence??"More questions were being asked, and they were soon surrounded by a pack of interviewers. The atmosphere was becoming too rowdy, when suddenly, everywhere quieted down.In a limited edition Maybach, Felix and Elsa drove into the court premises, stunning everyone with style. Following, Quince also drove in. The defense team had arrived!Everyone stopped to look at the gran
At the front of a towering hospital, two cars pulled up to the entrance. The hospital was a massive structure, with multiple wings and floors that stretched high into the sky. The building's exterior was made of white stone, and the entrance was marked by a large, circular driveway.Felix and Elsa stepped out of the first car, entering into the building, and Quince came out of the other one. Following the chaos at the courtroom, apologies were made to everyone and Felix ensured that they all received medical attention. Laughing gas might seem fun, but it has destructive effects on the system.Anyway, they were at the hospital to visit the witness, as Felix's informant had informed them that she was being treated there.It would be really harsh not to pay her a visit as she had risked her life to stand up for the truth. They entered the hospital and the hospital was bustling with activity, with doctors and nurses rushing in and out of the entrance. Finally, the elevator dinged, and th
Felix quickly styled his hair into a side part and put on a leather jacket before heading out. He grabbed his keys and wallet, putting them in his pocket. Since Quince was taking care of the case and Elsa had left to search for places to erect her new company building, Felix decided to go to the prison to pay Alejandro a visit.Ever since that day he was arrested, he had not really been settled. It felt like there was more to Alejandro than he could think of. Especially one question he and his father had talked about - who had been funding him after the Kims threw him out those years ago?He took a last look around the room he had lived in for so long. After next week, when he becomes the owner of the empire, he will have to move into the Kims mansion. He was surely going to miss the place and the simple life he lived.He got into his car and drove off to the state prison, his mind drifting to his upcoming visit with Alejandro. As he approached his cell, he could already hear Alejand
