Logan was very confused. He looked at the manager oddly. He didn't know what he was talking about. His name was Logan Russel and he wondered how the man knew that. 

"How did you know my name?" He asked the manager who was still too stunned to speak. He just looked at him oddly and then shook his head, as if still in shock. 

"I know that a ring can only belong to one person, and you have possession of it," he replied. Logan sighed, he had already run into enough trouble by talking to the rich man and Rita, and the last thing he wanted was another round of trouble. 

"You really are the young master," the manager said, his eyes wide with both surprise and excitement. 

"I'm not the young master, don't worry, I'll get out of your hotel, I'm sorry for causing a scene," Logan said and was about to walk out but the man  stopped him. 

"You don't have to leave. Please don't leave, I know who you are. You're Logan Russel." The manager stated.  Logan shook his head, "I think you have mistaken me for someone else," he replied, "My name is Logan Russel but I'm not a young master, I don't know what you're talking about." 

"I know, the ring says it all," he said and looked at the ring again, "Where did you get this?" He asked. 

"It's just some ring that the director at the orphanage gave to me, I decided to give it to Rita as a symbol of our love but clearly she doesn't value it," he stated plainly. 

"The orphanage?" The manager asked curiously. 

Logan nodded, "Yes, I told you I'm not the young master or whatever you think I am, I'm just an orphan. I grew up at the orphanage and the director gave this ring to me a few years after," he narrated. 

The manager nodded and looked at him with fascination, asking him how he got to find the ring if he had been abandoned. 

"The director gave it to me. He said that he'd found me in front of the orphanage and the ring was right there with me, also there was a paper with the name Logan Russel on it, that's all," Logan explained. "I don't have a family so I clearly am not this Logan that you're looking for, sorry." 

The manager was tearing up even as he spoke. He held Logan's hands and looked at him intently. "You are the young master of the Russel family, I am very sure of that," he said softly. It was as if the more Logan spoke, the less the man understood. He was still looking at him with wonder and joy. 

Logan was so confused, he couldn't understand how he was on the floor one minute and the next he was being called the master of some unknown family. "How do you know this?" He asked the man, still in disbelief. 

"Because we have been looking for you for the last 20 years. The Russel family has been looking for you," he said and gave him a watery smile. 

Logan was too confused to even argue with the man who seemed pleased to meet him for some reason. He looked genuinely happy and immediately pulled out his phone. 

Staring with confusion, he watched the man dial a number and soon, an old and crisp voice came on the phone. "Why are you calling? I have important things to attend to," the voice said sharply. 

The manager quickly apologized and said that he had great news that the old man would be interested in. "I know you want to hear this," he stated. 

"Go on, what is this about?" The voice asked. The manager looked at Logan again, he was beaming as he said. "I have found the young master." 

There was silence on the line for a few seconds and the manager had to look at the screen to make sure that the man hadn't hung up. "Can you hear me?" He asked loudly. 

"I heard you, I just came to believe it," he said with a trembling voice. The manager was very pleased to repeat himself. "I'm sure, he really is the young master, his name is Logan Russel," he said excitedly. 

The voice became high-pitched and excited, "Could this really be true?" He asked no one in particular and then said that he would come and make sure of it himself. "I'll be there in the next 5 minutes, I have to see him myself," he said. 

"Of course, he is right here, come to the Hotel," the manager replied eagerly. 

"Can you tell me she's going on?" Logan asked the man as he dropped the phone. The manager smiled and said the same thing that he'd said over the phone, leaving Logan even more confused. " You are the missing son of the Russel family, the only heir." 

"I don't get it. How come I don't even know who that is? I've never heard such a name. I only know that it's my surname, I  don't know if it belongs to a family or what family that is," Logan replied. 

But the manager nodded. "Yes, I understand if you've never heard of them. They are only known by the upper class. The Russel family is very respected and they also control a good number of companies and industries in the country," he explained. 

Logan was very curious, he wanted to ask more questions about this mysterious family and how the man had come to the conclusion that he was their son and also the heir. But he didn't get to speak when suddenly a loud sound came from behind and interrupted their conversation. 

Logan was very shocked as he looked outside and saw a helicopter coming down from the distance. He watched as an old man stopped down from the chopper and walked into the building. 

As the old man's eyes fell on Logan, his eyes widened and he teared up, walking to Logan briskly. "You look just like the old master..."

    After Andre was shot by Logan and he picked jersey up hurrying out of the hallway to get help from his men, things happen so fast after that.Just like he predicted, Andre's men scattered the moment they found that their leader was gone, not even bothering to put off a fight since in their words… ‘it was not worth it’. Instead of feeling relieved and satisfied that he got the upper hand, Logan sent some of his men after them to make sure that every member of Andrews team was nullified.Thankfully, Jackson was on standby to oversee the rest of the operations because Logan didn't even bother waiting back, jumping into the ambulance to take Josie to the hospital.Calling for reinforcements on his way there, Logan kept hoping that they weren't too late.Already, Josie's pallor was ashy and her breathing was slow.Even her hands seemed cold and clammy, although the latter part might just be his hand.Immediately, they got to the ER, Logan took over, commanding the nurses to get a doctor do

    Logan's heart dropped to his stomach as he stared at Josie in surprise, wondering what the hell she was doing back here.She must have known he'd feel the same way because her eyes flicked up to his and she mouthed the words ‘I'm sorry’.“Looks like I didn't have to go so far to cause you anguish, Logan.” Andre laughed. “She came straight to me.”Logan took a step towards them. “Hey, look Andre. You don't have to do this, she's innocent in all of this!”“How so? Don't talk to me like I'm an illiterate, I know she's behind all of the plannings you've taken recently… so maybe she wasn't part of this before but you certainly knew how to welcome her into the lifestyle.” Andre chuckled, twisting his gun around so it was pointed directly at her heart.In all of Logan's years dealing with enemies, territory fighting and impeachment from subordinates, he never was once a scared as he was right now.It was now he knew what it meant to have your weaknesses directed at you. Logan would gladly giv

    Waving his gun in front of Logan's face, Andre smirked, cocking his head to the side. “Well, well, well… What's going to be a lover boy? Are you going to shoot first or should I?”Logan didn't even flinch at the empty threats. “If you wanted me dead, you could have done so the moment my team walked in through the front door of the building.”Andre clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth. “That's true but you getting shot randomly by one of my men wasn't the plan. It would only rob me of the joy I would get from shooting you in the face by myself and taking the crown while the blood leached out of your body.”Logan chuckled softly which then grew into full-blown laughter, only serving to irritate Andre.“What the hell is so funny, huh?’ Andre grunted, taking a step closer.Logan ignored him, laughing on for as long as he wanted, only slowing the sound down to a trickle a couple of minutes later. “I'm just amused…” “I didn't realize that my words were that funny.” he huffed

Ethan smiled."Home," Ethan whispered.Logan's team gathered around Ethan in a secure facility. Ethan's eyes scanned the room nervously. Logan's expression softened."Tell us, Ethan," Logan encouraged. Ethan took a deep breath."Eclipse wanted Dad's research," Ethan began."Research on what?" Rachel asked. Ethan hesitated."Artificial intelligence," Ethan revealed."AI?" Jackson repeated. Ethan nodded."Dad's AI project. Code-named 'Erebus'." Sophia's eyes narrowed."Erebus?" Sophia repeated. Ethan's voice dropped."Dad's creation. A powerful AI.Capable of global control." Logan's eyes widened."That's why Andre

    Chapter 165: Rescue Mission Logan's team huddled around the tactical map, their faces illuminated only by the faint glow of the computer screens."Alright, here's the plan," Logan said, his voice low and steady, his eyes locked onto the layout. "Rachel, take point. Jackson, you're with me. We'll breach from the east wing."Rachel nodded, her piercing green eyes scanning the blueprint. "I've hacked the security feeds. We've got a 30-second window before they realize we're in."Jackson checked his gear, his rugged features set with determination. "I'm ready to take out their comms."Logan's gaze locked onto the mission objective, his jaw clenched. "Josie's being held in the central cell block. We need to move fast." The team nodded, their faces set with resolve, their breathing steady. They moved out, their footsteps silent as they approached the heavily fortified facility. Rachel took point, her pistol leading the way, her movements fluid."Security team incoming," she whisper

    Logan's team had been searching for Amber for weeks, and finally, they had her in custody. The dimly lit interrogation room was eerily silent, the only sound coming from the hum of the fluorescent lights above. Amber sat calmly, her hands cuffed to the metal table. Her eyes locked onto Logan, who stood at the far end of the room, arms crossed."You're a hard woman to find, Amber," Logan said, his deep voice firm.Amber smirked. "You're not the first to underestimate me, Logan."Logan's team leader, Rachel, stepped forward. "Let's get down to business. We know you're involved with Andre's operation. Tell us what you know."Amber leaned back, a calculated glint in her eye. "I'll tell you everything, but first, I want immunity."Logan raised an eyebrow. "You think you're in a position to negotiate?"Amber's smile widened. "I have information you desperately need. Josie's location, for starters." Rachel's eyes snapped to Logan, who nodded curtly."Deal," Rachel said. "But if you're lying,
