2025-02-18 22:46:42“What the heck is going on here?!”
“Why isn't his body already in the cremation service center as I had requested?!”
“What kind of poor hospital service is this?!”
Tiffany Raymond asked angrily, her heavy gold plated circular earrings dangling in the rhythm of her anger as she stared into the face of Nurse Diana.
“Ma'am…I can't just pass his body off to the cremation services, we have to wait for some hours after his death confirmation.It's standard hospital procedures” Nurse Diana explained.
The scent of disinfectant and the usual hospital aura filled ward three where Carl Gerald's lifeless body was lying in a fully zipped body bag.
“Are you kidding me right now?!”
“Tell me, who is in charge here?!”
“You’ve been doing nothing but wasting my time! I know you have a supervisor or something, get him or her immediately! ” Tiffany Raymond ordered impatiently.
Cough!
Just then, with that abrupt cough, Carl Gerald suddenly sat up in the body bag he was being covered.
“Oh my God!...Mr Carl Gerald…is alive!”
Nurse Diana yelled in shock as trepidation and shock washed all over the face of herself and Tiffany Raymond.
She immediately raced towards Mr Carl Gerald.
Frantically she unzipped the body bag and Mr Carl Gerald immediately let out a heavy gasp for air.
“What happened…where am I?”
His voice quaked as he spoke, his sight was still blurry.
His head still ached as he tried to recollect his thoughts, he tried to stand up but fell back onto the table.
“Calm down Mr Carl I will go and get the doctor immediately!”
Nurse Diana said her voice was laced with a mixture of anxiety, exhilaration and curiosity as she raced off to get Doctor Thompson, the doctor in charge of Mr Carl Gerald's case.
Carl Gerald's sight was still blurry, he slowly took a deep breath and stared at the woman almost close to him.
“Tiffany?”
But there was no response from Tiffany Raymond who still had her face etched in bewilderment.
Carl Gerald immediately recalled what had just happened earlier.
He recalled having left the building construction site where he doubled down as a labourer after working on his pizza delivery job, on returning home, he met the back door open which was unusual.
Entering the house, he heard his sister Sara’s scream.
He rushed outside to see a thug dragging her into the street while their mother, Mrs. Amber Gerald, desperately tried to protect her.
Carl had grabbed a crowbar to intervene, but before he could even react, a sharp blow struck his neck from behind. He remembered a surge of power running through him as his vision went black.
As Carl Gerald tried to recollect his thoughts, his head ached him even more.
The room was quiet as Carl stood up slowly, his eyes fixed on his wife, Tiffany.
"Tiffany, what really happened to me? Where are my mom and my sister, Sara?"
Carl’s voice was weak, laced with a mix of confusion and urgency.
Tiffany Raymond who was still in shock immediately snapped out of it and snorted indifferently.
“Your mom? She’s dead, killed in the struggle.”She paused for a moment, her lips curling slightly as if the words left a bad taste in her mouth, ”And your sister, I don’t know, perhaps taken away by those thugs.”
There was no shock in her eyes, no empathy.It was almost as if she were discussing an insignificant event in a stranger’s life.
Carl’s heart sank, his entire body freezing.
"Tiffany... that’s impossible..." Carl’s voice trembled, desperation creeping into his words. He could hardly breathe, the pain suffocating him. "Tell me it’s a lie! Please, tell me it’s a joke!"
Carl Gerald couldn't take it as he plopped back into the table.
Tears slowly welling down his eyes as he beat himself up emotionally for not being there for his family.
“It should have been me!”
“It should have been me! Why did I have to pass out and let my mom die?!”
Carl Gerald yelled into the empty air.
His fists slammed against the table, the sound of his pain deafening in the silence. But Tiffany didn’t even flinch.
She simply stood there, emotionless, her arms crossed as she glanced at him briefly, a hint of impatience flickering in her eyes.
Slowly Carl Gerald took a deep breath, with tears still streaming down his eyes.
“ I will find those bastards and I will make them pay dearly for everything they did!” His voice was colder now, but filled with a quiet rage.
Just as Carl’s words hung in the air, Tiffany broke the silence with her chillingly calm voice.
"Well, enough for crying? Now I have something to say."
Her eyes, devoid of compassion, glinted coldly as she threw a brown envelope in his direction. It landed softly against his chest, and Carl looked down at it, confused and trembling.
Tiffany’s voice was ice-cold. "I want a divorce."

Chapter 387:
Agent Marcus Chen, his face a mask of controlled fury, spoke up.“Jason, so you are…” he immediately took a deep breath and continued."So you're saying your father has infiltrated multiple government agencies, multiple military databases, multiple security organizations?""Not just infiltrated," Jason corrected. "Compromised. Corrupted. Subverted. Father doesn't need to hack into systems when he has personnel already inside those systems who will do his bidding.”“He doesn't need to forge documents when he has officials who will create authentic documents based on false information. That's the genius of his approach…he doesn't fight the system, he becomes part of the system.”The implications were staggering. If Lord Denver's network was as extensive as Jason claimed, then the Elite Divisions' entire security infrastructure might be compromised. Background checks, vetting processes, database verifications…all of it could potentially be manipulated by someone with sufficient resourc
Chapter 386:
General Carl Gerald immediately took a deep breath and stared at Jason, Nurse Evans, Doctor Amos and Lord Denver, who was actually the father of the three men who had snuck into the Elite Divisions Military units secret service agency and betrayed General Carl Gerald and the rest of the Elite Divisions Military units by facilitating the adoption of Sara Gerald, General Carl Gerald's sister.Debra Zachs was the first to speak at the moment.“Jason, why are you doing this?”“How did you infiltrate the ranks of the Elite Divisions Military units secret service agency, adopt Sara Gerald and make away with it?”“How did Nurse Evans and Doctor Amos actually get into our ranks and how are you all the sons of Lord Denver, the evil Lord and Leader of the Black Triangle Syndicate?”Debra Zachs immediately asked, her face was etched in shock and bewilderment as she and the rest of Elite Divisions Military units secret service agents stared at Jason, Nurse Evans, Doctor Amos, and Lord Denver who
Chapter 385:
General Carl Gerald's voice was the voice of a man accustomed to being obeyed, the voice of someone who had led soldiers through impossible situations and brought them home alive.For a moment, nothing happened. The darkness remained impenetrable, silent, giving no indication of whether it concealed friends or enemies, captives or guards, something dangerous or nothing at all.Then, a sound. A small mechanical click that every person in the room recognized instantly, the sound of a light switch being flipped.The overhead lights in that corner of the room flickered to life, harsh fluorescent illumination flooding the space and driving away the shadows that had concealed what lay beyond.And what the light revealed made every Elite Division agent in the room tense, made weapons track toward new targets, made General Carl Gerald's jaw clench with barely controlled fury.Standing in the now-illuminated corner were four people.Lord Denver stood in the center, his expensive suit somehow s
Chapter 384:
Immediately, Agent Cole Henry pulled another stun grenade from his vest, calculated the throw distance and angle, then hurled the grenade with precision.The flash bang grenade immediately arced through the air, bounced off the wall above the server rack, and dropped directly into the defenders' position.The three Black Triangle Syndicate operatives saw it coming and tried to react, one attempted to throw it back, another tried to shield his eyes and ears, the third simply tried to get as low as possible. But there was no escape in that confined space.The flashbang detonated with devastating effect, the concussion in that corner of the room even more intense than in the open area. All three operatives were immediately incapacitated…disoriented, blinded, deafened, unable to coordinate their movements or maintain their defensive position."Go!" General Carl Gerald commanded, and Delta Team moved as one coordinated unit.They all immediately surged toward the server rack position from
Chapter 383:
Debra Zachs moved in tandem with Lieutenant Alex, the two women covering different angles as they advanced into the room. A White Lotus operative emerged from behind a desk, his weapon raised, but Debra was faster. Three rounds…all center mass…and the threat was neutralized. She didn't slow down, didn't pause to confirm the kill, just kept moving forward with the relentless determination that defined Elite Division agents."Advancing center!" Debra called out, maintaining situational awareness and keeping her teammates informed of her position and actions.The White Lotus tactical coordinator, having partially recovered from the flashbang, was attempting to rally his remaining forces.He was a tall man, probably in his mid-thirties, with the bearing of someone who had extensive military experience. He carried a customized M4 carbine with multiple tactical attachments, and he moved with confidence despite the chaos erupting around him."Reform defensive line!" he shouted in English t
Chapter 382:
As the situation progressed, General Carl Gerald immediately stared at Debra Zachs and immediately signalled to the team to breach the door."Go, breach the door immediately!""I want Sara Gerald alive at all cost, even if it means bringing down this whole building." General Carl Gerald immediately signalled.Immediately Debra Zachs, General Carl Gerald and the rest of the Elite Divisions Military units secret service agents breached the door with an explosive.Inside the building, more guards from the Black Triangle Syndicates and White Lotus group immediately emerged with guns.One of the gunmen was armed with a fully automatic FN SCAR-H battle rifle, the weapon's black tactical finish gleaming under the harsh fluorescent lights of the room. His tactical vest was marked with the distinctive red triangle insignia of the Black Triangle Syndicates, and his eyes held the cold, professional calculation of someone who had killed before and wouldn't hesitate to do so again.The moment the
