Logan tried to run as the guards formed a circle around him. "You shouldn't have done that, you'll get the beating of your life!" The rich man sneered and nodded at the guards. 

Without a second wasted, they descended on Logan aggressively, dragging him by the head and pushing him to the floor. Fists fell on his head and shoulders and all he tried to do was protect his face. 

"You dared lay a hand on our boss?" One of the men snapped at him angrily and kicked him in the face.  

Rita stood there, not the slightest terrified or concerned over what was happening, she even had a pleased look on her face as did the man beside her. "He's getting what he deserves! Loser!" She said, urging the men to teach him a lesson. 

"What's going on?" One of the staff came to the lobby and saw the scene. Logan was already bloodied and bruised on the floor. He couldn't move, his hands shielded his face as the men continued to hit him, blow after blow, kick after kick. "You're going to kill him!" The staff said, her eyes wide with terror as he saw Logan's body. 

But the men didn't stop, their boss didn't tell them to and so they continued to beat Logan without caring about his bruises. The staff hurried away to call the manager, she didn't want anyone to be hospitalized in their hotel. 

The manager soon arrived and he bellowed angrily from the hallway as he strode to the scene. "Stop at once!" He snapped, frowning heavily. 

The guards all stopped as the rich man nodded at them. "Who are these men and why are they making a scene here?" He asked the rich man who was clearly the one in charge. 

"He needs to be taught a lesson! He's a stalker and a useless man," Rita replied and hissed. 

The manager sneered at her and the rich man. "I don't care who he is or what he did. You're causing trouble here, don't you know this is the Russel family hotel?" He asked angrily.

Mentioning the Russel family, the man was terrified, he stepped back a little and looked at the manager again. The Russel family was a very respectable family and he didn't dare mess with them. "I'm so sorry, I didn't know that," he replied.

"But he's the one who did something wrong, he stalked us," Rita announced again. 

The rich man nodded, trying to exonerate himself. "He threw the first punch. He was trying to hurt me, I only defended myself," he replied. 

The manager snapped at him harshly, he didn't want to know what happened, he just wanted them to leave at once. "I don't care what he did, you have crossed the line. Take this elsewhere or you will face consequences from the Russel family," he said. 

"Of course, we will leave now," the rich man said and nodded to the manager respectfully. But he turned to look at Logan, his face morphed into a sneer as he said, "Thank your lucky stars, I would have made sure there's no part of you left for the doctor to fix," he spat. 

Logan groaned on the floor, his hands clutching his rib which was badly injured. He couldn't even get off the floor with the men still standing right above him. Rita smirked at him in that state, very pleased. 

"Be careful, don't ever cross my path again. If I ever set my eyes on you, I will beat you up again, mark my words," the rich man said. 

Rita sneered at Logan, looking at him condescendingly. "She yanked off a ring from her finger and looked at it like it was garbage. "This is the ring that you gave me as a gift," she said and scoffed loudly, looking at the jewelry distastefully. "You lied to me that this is a family heirloom of yours, but it looks like some cheap trash you got from the pawn shop, it's a toy!" She snapped and threw it back at his face. 

Logan looked at her silently, he didn't say anything to her. First, because she couldn't even begin to convince her that he wasn't lying and also because he didn't want to run into more trouble with the rich man. 

"You can keep your trashy ring, I'm sure if I left with it, you'd say I'm a gold digger," she said with a nasty scowl on her face. 

The rich man held her hands and gave Logan one last mean stare before he nodded at his guards who finally left him and opened the door for him to walk out. 

Logan sighed as they walked out, he finally stumbled off the floor and finally staggered to his feet. His sides hurt like crazy and he couldn't feel his left cheek. He had been badly bruised there.

"Are you okay?" The manager asked, Logan nodded wordlessly and tried to right his clothes but it was no use, it was ruined beyond repair. "Are you sure? You don't look too well," he insisted and tried to help Logan but he ended up hurting him more as he touched his tender ribs. 

"Ouch," Logan groaned as his ribs were being touched, he placed his hands there and hissed, closing his eyes. He tried to ease the pain but it stuck. 

"I think you need to be taken to the hospital, you need medical help, you've been badly hurt," the manager insisted and tried to hold him again.

Logan shook his head, bending down to pick up the ring that Rita had thrown in his face. "You don't have to, I don't have the money for hospital bills," he replied. 

But at this point, the manager wasn't even listening to him, his eyes were fixated on the ring that he had just picked up. His eyes widened and he looked at Logan again. "Is that really you, young master Logan Russel?" He asked in a trembling voice.

    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,
