Seeing Alan’s raised brow, Michael thought he was interested in his offer and he let out a smirk. ‘So, this punk was actually here to get a job after all.’
“Kneel before me and bark three times calling me your daddy and maybe I will speak to the President to give you a job as a cleaner after all it’s a job for bottom feeders like you.”
Alan was amazed at his brazen request. He wanted to publicly humiliate him.
As far as he knew, the President of this company hadn’t reported any contract with JK Enterprises. Such a large and powerful company within the city would naturally be highlighted in reports given to Timothy and himself.
So, there was a chance that Michael was lying and didn’t even have any ability to meet the Company President.
Also, it was really annoying to see Michael try to act all big and important. JK Enterprises were just a company trying to break into the big market, they were not even recognized on a sub-national scale yet.
‘Is this idiot trying to act like he can give me a job in my own company with such little background?’
Michael seemed to be a liar and a pretender, he had probably used lies to lure Lucia to his bed and Alan could only shake his head at her misfortune.
“Come on, do it. Don’t waste our time, Mr. Fletcher has an appointment that we can’t afford to be late for and this will be a one-time offer to help you earn a living,” Kira urged. “Go on, call him your daddy!”
“Do it or I’ll be forced to call the security on you and besides we shouldn’t even be urging you to do the right thing,” Michael was glowering with anger. Alan’s silence was even more demeaning!
“There’s no way I would do that and I am not here to get a job. I have an important meeting to attend and you both are wasting my time,” Alan replied.
Michael and Kira burst into profound laughter. “Did you hear that, K? He said he has a meeting to attend! Haha.”
“Alan, I thought you were only good-for-nothing, I didn’t know that you were so stupid and a liar and a bad one at that. I’m sure you are mistaken and you don’t even know where you are standing.”
“This is the Gold Aries, one of the most sought-after companies in this city and there’s no way you could possibly have an interview here not to talk of an appointment. This isn’t a playground or a beggar’s ground so leave or I’ll be forced to forget that you were once my brother-in-law and send the security to kick you out!” Kira roared.
“You had better listen to her and scram! Kira is the head of the HR department, she holds a very important position in this company and the security won’t waste a second before throwing you out of here.”
Alan glanced at his digital wristwatch, it was a little worn out from years of use in the army, after confirming that he was almost late, he strode into the lobby. He couldn’t be bothered to say anything to them anymore.
“Hold it!” Kira scurried forward to stop him, feeling furious. Had he grown thick skin overnight?
“Didn’t you understand what I just said? Don’t go further inside. Our company won’t accept someone like you! Your presence is a stain on this establishment.”
Alan glanced at Kira coldly, causing her to freeze in fear and then take a few steps back after being frightened by his gaze.
Since when did this punk develop such a terrifying gaze?
“Kira, get security to drive him away!”
A short distance away, a security officer immediately walked over when he noticed them. “What’s wrong?”
Kira furiously pointed at Alan, gaining back her stance. “This man was a convict in the past and he’s now trying to barge into our company. I hope the security department will perform their duties and get this man off the premises otherwise, don’t blame me for having your salaries deducted or worse, delayed!”
The security officer knew that this was a serious matter, after all, Kira was the head of the HR department and he couldn’t afford to make her angry. He glanced at Alan and decided to report the situation over his radio, worrying that he might not be able to stop him alone without resorting to violence.
Soon, a pot bellied man arrived with more than ten security officers.
Kira raised her chin smugly at Alan. “Mr. Harris, make sure to throw this man out of this premises with immediate effect.”
“Yes Ma!” The pot bellied man replied, nodding his small head.
“Seems your time is up now, Alan,” Michael said with a sly smile and he walked into the company with Kira.
Alan was soon surrounded by the officers. Harris’ face turned ugly immediately as he took a look at Alan’s cheap clothing.
“Are you going to get lost or do you want us to throw you out of here by ourselves?”
“Aren’t you even going to ask about my side of the story?” Alan asked, surprised that they took the words of Kira as truth without much thought.
Harris furrowed his brow at him and snorted. “Is that even necessary? Miss. Smith has ordered that you leave! Paupers must have gotten so confident nowadays to be barging into a prestigious company like this.”
Alan stared at him coldly. “So you are not only a snob but an obedient dog as well!”
“What did you just call me?!” Harris flew into a rage. This poor punk actually had the guts to call him a dog! He wouldn’t let him escape without breaking an arm and a leg.
He motioned at the officer beside him. “Beat this jerk to a pulp! Make sure you break some of his bones, let him know who’s the boss here, hehe!”
The security guards waved their batons with smirks on their faces, ready to attack. Alan’s face darkened instantly as he clenched his fists tightly.
If the Gold Aries were filled with these types of nuisances, then he wouldn’t waste time to get rid of them.
At that moment, a car drove over and a man hurriedly got off. When he saw the situation, he frowned deeply. “What’s going on here?”

The new route ran straight through a fishing channel the satellite maps had flagged as "low traffic, civilian," which on paper sounded simple and in practice meant slow, careful movement around boats that hadn't gone out yet and nets drying on stakes along the shoreline. Alan split the team at the rendezvous point, sending Ghost and Hunter north toward the radar relay while he, Pietro, and Reaper cut west toward the primary objective. Nobody complained about the pace, which was its own kind of message. Pietro especially, moved through the shallows without a single word about how long it was taking, because he understood exactly why it mattered. That told Alan more about how seriously the team had recalibrated than any briefing could have. They moved for nearly two hours before Ghost's voice came through the earpiece, low and clean. "Asset secured." Hunter added nothing after that, which meant the entire approach had gone exactly as planned, and there was nothing more useful to sa
Chapter 82
The first phase went exactly the way it was supposed to.The team moved off the staging base under cover of darkness, hit the fuel depot at oh-two-hundred, and had it neutralized inside forty minutes without firing a single shot. Hunter had the perimeter sensors looped and disabled before the first guard even finished his cigarette break. By the time anyone on the island realized something was wrong, the team was already two kilometers away, moving toward the second target.Then the radio chatter changed.Alan crouched behind a low ridge of volcanic rock, watching a US naval patrol vessel cut a new line across the water, south, then sharply east, well off the route they'd held for the past three days of surveillance."That's not their usual track," Pietro said beside him, lowering his scope."No," Alan's eyes were narrowed. "It isn't.""Coincidence?""Forty minutes off schedule isn't a coincidence." Alan kept his eyes on the vessel until it passed beyond the headland. "Someone on th

The Caribbean.The heat hit before the door of the transport even finished opening, thick and wet, clinging to Alan's skin the moment he stepped onto the tarmac. Silver Lace had its own humidity, but nothing like this. This was the kind of heat that made a man's shirt stick to his back within thirty seconds and didn't let go for the rest of the day.Pietro came down the ramp behind him, already squinting against the sun. "I forgot how much I hate this part of the world.""You've said that on every Caribbean rotation," Alan said, then paused for seconds as he came to a certain realisation. He frowned, “What the hell are you doing here?" “Oh, yeah, right. The Colonel hauled my ass from Silver Lace just after you left the house," Pietro heaved a sigh. “Apparently, he has placed some people around to keep watch over Hazel.”"Tch. He should have at least told me first," Alan felt betrayed. He wasn't even sure if he'd be able to truly focus on the mission at hand. Hazel's safety was his to

The briefing came through at six in the evening, twelve hours before departure. Alan read it once at his desk. It had coordinates, theatre designation, team roster, the standard administrative language that gave away almost nothing about what waited on the other end of it.He closed the file without reading it a second time. There wasn't a second reading that would change anything.He found Hazel on the rooftop terrace, her usual calming spot. She was sitting on the wide stone bench near the edge, the city spread out below in its evening lights, and she didn't turn when he came up beside her.He sat down without saying anything.They stayed like that for a while, the wind catching the edges of her hair, neither of them rushing to fill the silence. Alan had learned, somewhere in the last few months, that some of the best conversations he'd had with her weren't conversations at all."I know I've asked this before, but… Is this one more dangerous than the last?" she asked eventually, s

Gold Aries.“Yeah, yeah, morning,” Alan muttered tiredly as he walked down the hallway, having to answer every staff that greeted him on the way.He had told them repeatedly not to bother; he didn't mind. But since Old Tim was constantly bowing to him at every turn, the staff couldn't just stand and do nothing.Timothy had laid out three folders on the conference table by the time Alan walked into the boardroom, each one labeled in his careful handwriting rather than printed, which meant he'd assembled them personally rather than delegating it."ShopVille integration," Timothy began after bowing tersely, tapping the first folder. "Supplier monopoly contracts. The Clairmont-adjacent logistics bid your brother is still pushing." He looked up. "I assumed you'd want to walk through every operation that's vulnerable while you're gone.""I do," Alan nodded, pulling out a chair. "Start with ShopVille."Timothy opened the folder and turned it so they could both see it. "The integration is eig

Fabien's call came through at nine in the morning, while Alan was standing in a Gold Aries Construction site walkthrough with three division heads who had been arguing about rebar specifications for the better part of twenty minutes.He stepped away from the group to take it."Warlord.” The Colonel's voice was firm as always."Colonel.""It's confirmed," Fabien didn't waste time going straight to the point. "Two weeks out. Your team is locked for the Caribbean operation."Alan watched a crane lift a steel beam across the site, the cable groaning under the weight. "Full team?""Full team. Briefing materials come through next week, but you should start preparing now. This isn't a short rotation.""Understood.""How's married life treating you, Captain?""Eventfully," Alan could only sigh.Fabien made a sound that might have been a laugh. "I imagine it would be. Two weeks, Walker. Get your affairs in order."The call ended. Alan stood for a moment with the phone still in his hand, the co
