The Mysterius man
The atmosphere inside the luxurious, dimly lit room felt cold and suffocating. A man dressed in a neat suit sat with his back facing the entrance, leaving only the sight of his sturdy back, which exuded an air of absolute dominance behind a large swivel chair.Not long after, the door to the room was tapped lightly before a man acting as his loyal aide stepped inside with extreme caution. The man stood straight in a respectful posture, lowering his head slightly to maintain etiquette before the big boss sitting with his back to him.“Sir, there is an important report I must convey regarding the target at the hospital,” the aide reported in a slightly suppressed tone.“Speak,” the mysterious man said briefly in a cold, heavy voice without turning his chair around even a little.“Derek West has regained consciousness from his critical state today,” the aide continued, reporting the shocking fact.The man dressed entirely in black stood anxiously in his spot; reporting this made him quit
The Voice Tapping
“Ah, my back hurts so much,” Joe complained as he adjusted his sitting position.The atmosphere inside Joe's service car felt so quiet, accompanied only by the soft static hissing sound streaming directly from the high-tech voice-tapping device he had secretly installed beneath the driver's seat of Jordan's vehicle a few days ago.Joe, who was initially sitting casually while enjoying a pack of fast food inside his car, instantly stopped chewing. The sound of discordant laughter heard loudly from the speaker in his ear immediately drew all his attention and focus in an instant.Inside the live broadcast recording, Jordan's voice was clearly heard talking to someone through a cellular phone connection linked to the car's speakerphone.“Ha-ha-ha! You heard the news today yourself, right? That bastard finally really got what was coming to him!” Jordan's laughter sounded so free, mocking, and filled with overflowing satisfaction.The person on the other end of the line sounded hesitant be
Intensive recovery
“Go get some rest, Father, I will watch over him here,” Fae gently stroked the hand of Jacob, who was sitting tiredly beside her.The tense atmosphere that had gripped the emergency operating room and the hospital corridor slowly began to thaw as the exhausting critical hours passed.The follow-up neurosurgery and thoracic surgery led directly by Professor Edward finally bore fruit; he successfully stopped the secondary internal bleeding and relieved the intracranial pressure that had previously threatened Derek West's life, with the surgery itself taking hours.Jacob turned toward her without saying a word, yet his gaze sufficiently responded that he was reluctant to leave that place despite being so tired.“Father, I beg you,” she persuaded, anxious about Jacob's condition, which might also drop due to overwhelming worry.After seeing Fae's desperate and anxious gaze, he finally nodded. “Let me know if there are any developments.” He gently patted Fae's shoulder while standing up an
Critical condition
The atmosphere in front of the intensive care unit suddenly turned tense as doctors and nurses rushed in and out with ragged breaths. The vital sign monitor inside the room beeped loudly, signaling a drastic drop in Derek’s bodily condition.“What is actually happening to his condition? Why does that monitor keep beeping?” Fae worriedly half-shrieked, her tears nearly spilling over her eyelids.“His blood pressure has dropped drastically. There is secondary internal bleeding near the previous post-operative area pressing on his vital organs,” one of the emergency doctors answered in panic. “We must immediately perform a follow-up surgery right now, or we will lose him!”Panic immediately struck the entire hospital corridor. Fae looked extremely worried and badly shaken, but Jacob who had just arrived at the hospital after receiving the emergency news displayed a far deeper level of worry, his white-as-chalk face watching his younger brother's condition through the partition glass.Hea
Emergency
“Ah, he passed out,” Joe muttered, approaching the man after knocking him out with a bit too much enthusiasm.The tattooed-neck man known as Long-Neck was finally subdued after putting up a fight during the lightning raid on the remote island.“What are we going to do with him?” asked one of the men who took part in the process.Joe, tired, looked toward the Long-Necked man. “What else, of course make him talk.”They nodded and quickly moved into action. “Sure, the police can take their turn after us.”Before they decided to take him directly to the city police station, which would require a fairly long travel time, Joe and his men agreed to take advantage of that golden opportunity by interrogating him first in his abandoned hideout.The man was dragged forcibly and tied very tightly to an old wooden chair in the middle of the dimly lit room. In a semi-conscious state from the shock of the raid, Joe approached while carrying a bucket of cold water, then roughly poured it directly ove
The long neck guy
"We must move right now,” one of them said with an urgent tone after seeing the details of the recording displayed clearly on the tablet screen.That crucial digital evidence was not squandered away. In a short time, a copy of the video recording from the memory card found by Carlos was officially sent to the central sector police station handling Derek West's assault case.“The distinct characteristics will greatly assist in the search process,” Fae added while pointing at the screen.With the visuals showing the attacker's body posture as well as very specific physical traits, the police immediately raised the status of the investigation and issued an arrest warrant for the main perpetrator.“I will send it to the police and ask them to issue a wanted person notice as soon as possible,” Victor said with full confidence.“It would be best to make a copy for us to use independently,” Victor reminded with a firm tone.Victor was well aware that relying solely on police bureaucracy woul
