Chugging a bottle of water down his throat, Roland made his way to the speed boat packed some meters away from him.
As soon as he touched the boat, the influx of information about how to drive a speed boat ran through his memories.
Before this moment, Roland had no sailing experience whatsoever. But now his wealth of experience overshadowed that of a sailor who spent decades sailing.
He could feel every part of the boat as an extension of his body. It was simply marvelous.
With an excited roar,Roland started the engine as he went off to New York City, the city that never sleeps.
…
In one of the highest-rising buildings in Washington, DC. “Is he dead?” James asked Hanks in a bid to seek confirmation from him as he swirled the cup in his hands while walking towards the glass walls.
"Yes sir, he was injected with cyanide, shot twice in the heart, and fell off a cliff. He couldn't possibly survive it.” Hanks responded.
“What about his body, did you see his dead body? l will not believe it until I see Roland’s breathless body in front of me.” James stated.
“James, he's dead, you heard Hanks, cyanide, bullets to the heart, and the roaring force of the sea, he couldn't be any more dead, and locating his body now won't be easy, his body must have been shredded by the heavy waves or probably lost beneath the sea. Right now, our priority is convincing the board and the media that he is truly dead so that the transition of power will run smoothly.” Naomi suggested, stroking James face.
“That's why l love you, you are smart like me,” James praised as he planted a kiss on her lips, which Naomi gladly received.
As they continued passionately without even caring about their subordinates watching, finally Naomi broke the kiss when she was almost out of oxygen.
“James, let's focus on the topic at hand. We can continue later, we have the whole night to ourselves.” Naomi reminded James as she saw that he was already sexually aroused.
“Right, that's correct, Hanks finds an unidentified body in the hospital's morgue that has the same bone age as Roland. If we are going to do something convincing, we need a body, and we have to be sincere in our grief, don't you think?” James said as he smirked evilly

“Wow, l am here, New York is beautiful,” Roland stated as he looked at the high-rising buildings that littered the streets.
“Mmhm, that's a familiar voice,” he said as he worked towards the beer bar that had a television. [Roland watching James and Naomi pretend]
“I am undoubtedly sad that my brother had to die…why!!!! Why did Roland die? He was a selfless brother who was ready to give me anything I wanted to get? I can't believe this, there was a mistake for sure,” James said as he knelt beside Roland's coffin. He shed a few more tears that evoked the sympathy of the people beside him as they offered condolences to him.
Naomi also performed her one-woman show, and her tears fell as if they cost no money.
Her black gown was disheveled, and her hair was plain with no accessories, her face with no makeup, and dark circles decorated the base of her eyes.
All in all, she seemed pitiful and made people want to protect her.
“The death of Roland will forever be a pain that will never cease to hurt in my heart. I can't believe I will never see Roland ever again.” she sobbed.
Roland doesn't deserve any of this, why did death take away such a pure soul? Why didn't l go instead of him?
Watching Naomi and James echo each other made Roland laugh. “Ah, why didn't I see such hypocrisy before? Well, revenge is a dish best served cold. l will have my revenge. James, be rest assured that I will surely come without fail.” Roland threatened as he watched the two clowns on the television screen.

But where am l going to find this grandpa and granddaughter duo so l can reap my earnings?
“Someone help! Please call an ambulance! right on cue." A distressed voice reached Roland hearing.
“The granddaughter is here,” he smiled as he ran towards the voice. However, on reaching there, he saw a large crowd was already there but strangely, no one was willing to help out.
The rumors of people touching porcelain (a case where an old person fakes an accident and the person who tries to help takes the fall as the person who caused the accident, and it's forced to compensate the old person, simply put old people's scamming)have spread everywhere making people hesitant about helping out with situations like this.
“Get out of my way,” weaving his way out of the crowd. “The ambulance will be here soon,” Roland stated to the beautiful blonde-haired girl currently sobbing on the floor.
“Thank you, Sir," the girl said, but before she could finish, Roland interrupted. “He won't make it if they don't come in five minutes but if you give me a chance I can help him until they come.”

Deception
Chapter 15 “Boom” The team took a step into the lush orchard.“Guys, where are all of you?” Roland called as he looked around the quiet environment.“Where is this place, "Roland said as he found himself in front of a narrow street.“Rass, Kira,” where did the heck are you guys, maybe we got displaced”“Wait, the street feels so familiar, when did I come here?” Roland thought as he continued going down the narrow path.“Brother, what are you doing outside? The guests are waiting for you, it is your big day today." A voice he would never forget even if he died sounded.“James, now I remember, this street is the road to Naomi’s family house. This scene! My engagement with Naomi. But why? Why am I here? "Roland muttered.“Brother, hello brother, are you there?”The smiling James waved at Roland. He looked puzzled at his elder brother spacing out.Seeing the young, innocent-looking James, Roland sneered in disgust. What is an actor? His engagement happened 3 years ago, but he was poisoned

Chapter 14“Honey, we need to be strong, we can't give up, we just have to find a way to get out of here and look for Uncle Roland so that we can have our revenge,” Sean said.“Uncle Roland, Mom, don't kid me, Uncle Roland is dead, James that bastard that himself, and even if he isn't, you think he'll fare better than us here, he can't even protect himself, let alone us,” Nina said sarcastically.Far off in the distance, a swarm of tiny insects that seemed to cover the sun was rapidly approaching. Their teeth were razored sharp with a desire to kill. They were the eye warts.“These damn little insects can't cut us some slack?” Nina cussed as she got up and continued running.“Nina, over there, there appears to be a tunnel, let's hide there,” Sean said pointing at a narrow tunnel that opened its mouth wide like a hunting jaguar.“No, Mom, the tunnel is too small, hiding there will narrow our chances of escaping, we need a wider space.” Nina refused.As Nina was still suggesting an alte

No one can escape my sight. Roland, relax, just lead the way, be rest assured that we'll have your back.” Ram, the sharpshooter, responded.I have set up the computer systems for surveillance. We must know the enemy's movements. Any Intel on James’s men's hideouts?” Marie, the computer operator, asked.I have the coordinates. James’s lair is well guarded. Kira, recheck the map. Rass, prepare some extra weapons, let's have them in excess, just in case.” Roland commanded.“Location Confirmed, Roland. The map shows a direct route, but there's a potential desert along the way. We need to be prepared for harsh conditions.” Kira advised.“I've gotten a couple of extra grenades and some high-powered rifles.
Alliance
Chapter 12“Roland wants to sign a partnership deal with me, he wishes to help me fight my long-lost battle in return for the Dragon head Legion whenever he needs it. Do you think it's a good idea? We barely know him, though he saved my life.” Grandpa Huo sought the opinion of his daughter.Yuri, who had already fallen in love with everything about Roland, couldn't wait to give Grandpa Huo to go-ahead to ally with Roland, “This will bring us even closer to each other and more, Roland is a very kind and rich man. He's everything I want in a man.” She muttered to herself.“Grandpa, I think you should consider Roland’s proposal and give in to his request, I believe he has the connections and power to help us like he said, considering the way he bravely saved your life back then on our way to the hospital.He gave you the kind of treatment the doctors couldn't give you in years, Grandpa. I believe in him and I strongly agree with his proposal.” Grandpa Huo nodded in agreement with what h
The Proposal
Chapter 11“Let it out, Roland, let's see how it goes.” Grandpa Huo replied in anticipation.Roland picked the next seat close to Grandpa and whispered into his ears as if he didn't want any other person to hear about it. Even though no one was present except the two.“I have resources, connections, and means to help you in your quest for justice. In return, you lend me the strength of the Dragon Head Legion when needed. Let's forge a partnership, Grandpa.” Roland whispered. “How do you think this will work? The Dragon Head Legion has long been in hiding, coming out now will mean great harm to all its members. More so, it has been a forgotten past in my life that I don't wish to reopen. I know I owe my life to you for saving my life, ask for anything else, I will grant it. But this is an impossible task, Roland.” Grandpa Huo replied to Roland as he strolled to his luxurious balcony in disagreement with Roland's proposal.Roland didn't relent, he knew he could convince Grandpa Huo i
The Deal
“Young man, have some tea,” Grandpa Huo said as he poured a rich Chinese herbal tea into his teacup.As Roland made himself comfortable, Grandpa Huo began “Young man, I would like to extend my appreciation to you for saving my life, doctor smith made sure to mention your help to me, l had previously prepared a check to thank you but you're acquiring villa number one shows you do not need money.”“So I will owe you a favor, for one time, anything you ask of me will be done for you.”“Tell me about yourself, l am curious as to what a Chinese military man is doing in New York City, or rather America." Roland mused.The smile on Grandpa Huo's face fell as he sized Eren up, “Kid, don't meddle in things above you, you might end up dying without a corpse.”“I can't help it. I want to know whether or not l die in the process is for me to worry about.” Roland replied, seeing the secretive nature of Grandpa Huo, he was more convinced that his identity was really important and possibly dangerou
