It was the twenty first hour, and the mood in the Nike family house was darker than the night.

Brian seeing how the guards he called to throw Sebatian out of the house were finding it hard to carry out his order, made him furious.

He was already looking humiliated in front of the entire family of Nike. 'Why can't these useless guards take this thing out, do they want to humiliate me?’

One of the guards was the security guard who tried to stop Sebatian at the Prime Enterprise gate from entering. The second one was a friend to Sebastian back then when they were on the street together.

“Since you two can't carry out my orders given to you, then you are both fired!” Brian was raging.

Then out of frustration, Brian went close to Sebastian, and held the top of his shirt. “You loser, I'll make sure I make you pay for this!”

He wasn't ready to make Sebatian go free after the humiliation he had just faced from his two personal guards. That moment Brian was sure to make Sebastian pay.

“Come on Mr. Brian, let him go!” The guards dragged Brian away immediately. “Don't you dare touch this man again, or don't you know who he is?”

The Nike family members were just watching the scene. They were still in shock about what was happening. They saw how the guards couldn't do a thing to Sebastian, now they won't allow Brian or anyone do anything to Sebatian.

Brian's face wasn't just squeezed in wonder, he was willing to know why the guards would warn him not to touch Sebastian.

“Who the heck is he? If you don't know, he is a live-in son-in-law, nothing more!”

“Then I can see you know nothing at this point. This man standing right here is…” The guard from the Prime Enterprise was at the blink of revealing Sebastian's true identity to Brian, until Sebastian gave him a sign not to.

“Nevermind who he is, but don't you dare touch him or do anything to him.”

The humiliation was looking too much already for Brian. Out of frustration, Brian banged the dining table so hard, and left the Nike family house in a flash.

Brian was furious, the Nike family members were silenced. At this point, they could only stare and wonder about what just happened, and hoped that Brian doesn't change his mind in helping the Nike company out of it crisis.

It was another day, a day before the day when every company that invested in Prime Enterprise will have a meeting to know each take out of the current investment, even when the investment plans were already canceled

Representatives from each company would have to be present for the meeting, and of course, the President of Prime Enterprise must be at the meeting too.

Sebastian needed to keep his old clothes aside this time, and planned to wear something befitting for the meeting. So he decided to visit the the most expensive store in the city of Lanchester, The Luiz store.

“Please, can I see the sales person, or are you?”

Sebastian was waiting for a reply when suddenly, Charles Benz walked into the store too.

At the moment he saw Sebastian, he broke into laughter. He looked at Sebatian just like he was looking at a fool.

Charles said coldly, “Are you working as a cleaner here now, or did you just come here to beg?”

Charles came into the store too get himself a suit for the incoming investor's meeting just like Sebastian. He was the representative for the Nike Company.

Sebastian smiled and said, “What makes you think I came here to beg?”

“I don't need to think, I know you are. You always look like a beggar, so pathetic, you can't even afford a pen here.”

As they were conversing, the sales person from the Luiz store can out. “Sir, you asked for the sales person, here I am. Can I get your order please?”

Charles was stunned and burst into laughter yet again, he couldn't imagine that Sebatian was just addressed as sir.

He shoved Sebastian aside so as to face the salesperson.

“Please my dear, don't waste your time on this beggar. He came here to beg, and I came here to get a nice suit.”

“Okay, so what brand of suit do you want sir?”

“Get me the customary brand, a black kind too.” Charles was feeling so big after he made his order.

The customary brand suit was worth twenty thousand dollars. It was actually a grade two suit that was sold in the store.

The salesperson went in and brought out the suit, as it was already well packaged. “Here you go sir, please make your payment and sign here. Thank you.”

While the sales person was waiting for Charles to make payment and sign, she turned her attention to Sebastian who was just standing, and waiting for his turn.

“Please can I have you order too?”

Clearing his throat, Sebatian replied, “I need a suit also, any brand with the highest grade in the store.”

Charles was just about to make payment with his card when the card he was holding fell off from his hand. He turned to Sebastian's direction in shock.

“Have you gone mad? Do you want to put yourself in debt? You can't even afford a good shirt, she you're here asking for the highest grade suit!”

“Excuse me sir, the cost of the highest grade suit is eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars.”

It was looking like the salesperson was in doubt that Sebastian would be able to afford the suit. So to clear her doubt, Sebatian went into his pocket, and brought out a black card.

Charles went from being shocked, to his pride being lowered in an instant. He thought he was day dreaming, ‘Where has he gotten a black card from?’

A black card was only own by the top men in the city. In fact, very few top men had it in Lanchester city. Anyone with a black card is believed to have billions and trillions of dollars, and Sebastian was not looking like he would have such an amount in his entire life.”

Sebastian made the payment immediately, and after making the payment, he calmly said, “So where can I sign?”

The face of the salesperson gave an expression of absolute disbelief. “Please sir, you can sign here, and wait let me get you your order.”

You wouldn't believe, would you? An absolute stunner, Charles couldn't have the courage to sign even after making payment, as he just stood there and wondered continuously.

“Here you go sir. Thank you.”

Sebastian got his eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars worth of suit, as he bounced out of the store in style.

It was definitely not what Charles was expecting, his heart was already wreaking, he said to himself, “What just happened, what have I just witnessed?”

The three of them wore outraged expressions as they sat in Prime Enterprises' spacious conference room.Frustrated, Sebastian slammed a fist down on the glass table. "This is unbelievable! We were aware of the Director General's corruption, but this? allowing criminals with serious charges like theirs to be released on bail?"Abigail folded her arms tightly and reclined in her chair. "It is disgusting. Drug trafficking, organized crime, and conspiracy are serious crimes. If they walk free, it means they wield more power than we thought."William Prime sighed deeply after reading the court's ruling quietly on his tablet.

    Greene unhappiness was unhidden, as an overwhelming sense of failure pervaded the air as Greene and his group filed out of Gray's deserted hideout. As the group left the ramshackle building, the sun was sinking, illuminating the streets with a grim orange tint. As they returned to the black SUVs parked a few meters away, the only sound they heard was the crunch of their boots on gravel. Greene continued walking forward, his thoughts racing with frustration and unresolved issues. Once more, Gray had escaped their grasp, and this time it felt intimate. He believed that the timing was ideal and the mission was flawless. Someone had told him, and Greene could not get rid of the suspicion that the system itself was the source of the betrayal. "Back to the station," Greene said curtly as he climbed into the front passenger seat of the leading vehicle. Parker cautiously glanced at him as he slid into the driver's seat, but remained silent. His eyes were fixed on the road ahead, his jaw
