2022-11-07 02:45:16After all the guards had been assigned their duties, they disbanded from the main hall of the ground floor and went to attend to their various tasks.
For Con that task was patrolling the perimeter of the Nurain building. It was one of his favorite things to do.
Nurain's headquarters building was a fairly massive one. All of the company's new products would be displayed here first before they made their appearances at the company's smaller retail stores. Con always had a lot to look at whenever he was on patrol.
Since this fashion company mostly focused on female wear and especially beautiful females, they were quite known now in Glover city. There were always a lot of patrons around and Constantine always enjoyed watching the beauties as they shopped and had a nice time making themselves beautiful.
He was a shameless man, so he really didn't have any qualms with loving beautiful ladies so much, anyone who judged him for it could as well choke on their judgment.
This life was very different from the bloody one he was formerly used to. He sort of liked it.
Patrolling the building felt like a walk in the park and Con enjoyed the activity. Soon it was high noon and it was time for his lunch break.
"Aren't you going to come get your lunch Con?"
Constantine rolled his eyes as he heard Finn's voice behind him. The man never let anyone under his division miss lunch.
"I'll be coming to get it now."
Finn only nodded at him and disappeared as he went round the corner of the building. Con followed him and soon he had his lunch pack in his hand. He settled under the shade of one of the trees at the back of the building and he was joined by a fellow guard.
They ate in silence and halfway through the small meal, their walkie talkies started ringing.
Con looked at the other soldier and found he was also looking at him.
They both picked up their receivers and the same message rang out at the same time.
"All available guards are to report to the main entrance, i repeat report to the main entrance, the CEO is in danger!. All available guards report to the main entrance now, I repeat, report to the main entrance now!"
Con looked over at the other guard. He had gone back to consuming his lunch like he hadn't just heard that message.
"Aren't you going to heed to the directions of the order we were given just now?"
The guard simply shook his head and took a bite of his sandwich.
'"We have more than fifty guards stationed all around this building, I'm sure more than half of them are attending to her right now. We wouldn't be of any use if we went there."
Con simply ignored the guard's words as he stood up. Guess it was time for him to start fulfilling his promise.
The CEO and founder of Nurain Fashion corporation was none other than the stunningly beautiful Miss Adeline Firoan, a well endowed woman with the face of a goddess and the body of a vixen. She was smart, industrious, well grounded and a business monster. She was also the sister of someone he had lost on the battlefield.
Someone who he had made a promise to in regards to protecting his little sister.
Mark had begged him to protect her. He had made Con promise that to him as he breathed his last breath.
Con was a man that kept his promises.
She was the reason he had come to Glover city, he could have decided to do anything else with his life. He could have chosen to make the generals that had blamed him and disgraced him for what happened at the battlefield pay for how they stripped him of his position, he could have made them eat their words.
But he came here instead to fulfill his promise first before he did any of that. He wasn't even sure he would do much of that revenge stuff anymore, he liked living this life of a nobody, someone so low down the food chain that they were barely noticed or seen as a threat.
He would continue living like this if life allowed him.
Con walked with determination in his heart as he thought and soon he was at the gate. He could see all wasn't well.
A small crowd had gathered there already and they seemed to be watching the two small groups that now faced off against each other.
The people in the crowd parted for Constantine as he walked through, none of them knew why he was giving off such a serious and foreboding aura at that moment.
Con got to the front of the crowd to see that Adeline hadn't been hurt.
He was relieved to see that.
She wasn't alone too, she was surrounded by most of her day to day staff. The chief executive of fashion designers in Nurain and most of the fashion designers stood with her, all the essential staff and even John. He and Jane stood at the helm of the group and glared at the other group.
Con moved his eyes to them to see what they were up against.
The face of the man he saw tickled his memory a little but he couldn't place where he had seen him.
The man had silver blonde hair and an arrogant expression on his face, like what he was seeing at the moment annoyed him and he couldn't wait to get rid of it.
He was leaning against the door of his red luxury car in a deep ash suit and his eyes were specifically on the CEO of the company whose entrance he had parked his car.
"I want to buy Nurain."
The arrogance in his voice could literally be heard in every word he said, and much more than arrogance, there was hate and spite and conceit too.
"Who is he?"
The guard beside him didn't get the chance to answer before the silver haired man spoke again.
"My final asking price is twenty million dollars."
Con felt annoyance rush through him.

Chapter 171: The end.
Xavier stared at the files in his hands and tried not to get too scared by them. There was information on them, more information than he would have felt comfortable ever knowing but he could see what Con was so scared of now. He might even be sure that he had managed to see the things Con had not. To begin with, this world was not what they thought it was.At least it was not all they thought it was. It was much more than they imagined and the fact that Con had somehow managed to stumble on this clearly meant the cosmos was seeking their help, or rather Con's help. Somehow somewhere there was someone or something pushing Con towards making these decisions and he could feel it now. He was sure if he told Jane and Aubrey that they would plan to eat him up alive. Both him and that thing he felt was guiding Con into making the decisions he was making. Their world was under threat, and he would be damned if he just sat back and watched it all crumble.Xavier reached for his phone and tap
Chapter 170: "That's enough."
Con watched the hackers he had hired work and he came to the conclusion that he had undoubtedly made a very huge mistake.There was little he could do in terms of making them more coperative and oddly he got the feeling that they wanted to make him frustrated. One of them full on refused to listen to his commands and Con felt the urge to give the man a sound slap at the back of his mind. He had to resist it because the others were already working and from what he could see, they were doing what he wanted them to do. That was enough for him, but what he truly wanted was their total cooperation.From the way they had abandoned their jobs to go chase after money, he knew that he couldn't use them for any of the jobs he would have wished to. Since they had the basic knowledge he would need in the people he wanted to recruit, it would have been better if they had behaved and not messed up that way. It was not like he was that desperate that he would hire them despite whatever they did, but
Chapter 169.
Jake looked out his window and tried to assess his surroundings. He could tell people were trying to hack into the cyber security of the the hotel. The alarms had gone off the moment the breach was noticed and he had spent the past one hour trying to calm himself down and not fly into a rage. The fact that whoever this was thought he could mess with him and get away with it felt funny to him.The only problem right now was the issue of intention. The hackers seemed to be aiming for the security controls to switch them off. That was what they had been trying to do in the first place and he felt they might have done it sucesfully if they hadn't diverted to start hacking away at money. If they were petty thieves then he would make them pay. He would make them pay badly for having him all worked up for nothing, but if they posed a greater problem than than that then he would have to solve that problem, probably with the aid of some thugs and torture. He just bought this hotel. It was on
Chapter 168: "I'm going up to my room."
Xavier watched as Lisa and Clay kept their eyes on him like he was performing some kind of magic trick just sitting down there and doing nothing. He could already tell that it would be a long time before they left him alone and honestly, now he was up to the challenge. There was no way he was going to let them keep him in when he already had something he wanted to do.Lisa could be dealt with. He could persuade her with treats and make her feel he should be let loose to do what he wanted because he was her father and even he would have to admit that he let her loose to do what she wanted too sometimes.Lisa would let him do what he wanted to do because he also let her do what she wanted to do at times. It was an agreement they had both reached and he was sure she would honor her part of their agreement. The one was really worried about was Clay. The fact that the younger male just stood there watching him gave Xavier a funny feeling in his stomach. He and Lisa should have done off t
Chapter 167.
Con could swear that he had thought there was a chance of Xavier calling him on the phone and offering his help.He had been expecting that for a day plus now but yet nothing had happened and he was getting skeptical. Was he wrong to expect that his comrade in arms would come to him at this moment? And was he sure that he could pull off this operation with Xavier?Con stared at the building in front of him and turned to look at the others in the car. Two of the maids had revealed themselves to be hackers specially trained by the Black family. It seemed his uncle had also believed that one day he would need the help of such people so he had gathered them, from all walks of life, which to him probably meant the prisons. The man was a cheapskate. He couldn't hire professsionals who would get his job done for him, so instead he went to the prisons and got men and women who had been arrested and convicted of various internet crimes .He had bailed them out, paid the men behind the desk eno
Chapter 166.
Lisa stared at her father and tried to assess the level of damage she had done.She had one hand over her mouth and the other helping her prop that arm up.'"When the heck did my father become ebony haired?""Language Lisa.Lisa rolled her eyes and walked over to go stand near Clay."We did this didn't we?"Clay couldn't help the chuckle that escaped his throat. Somehow he had imagined that Lisa would have more information than he would on what was happening to her father. She had asked him to promise that they would both take the fall for whatever happened and when this happened, he suspected she knew about it. No just knew about it but expected it. He would not have been surprised if Lisa expected this to happen, but it seems she had not. She was just as surprised as he was, or she was now a great actress and she was faking all this, but he could tell there was no talent for acting in Lisa so he was sure it was the first one.Lisa was shocked, the same way he had been and it was fu
