No warning, only death
Sanders stood silently inside the elevator, her arms folded tightly across her chest, her face devoid of all emotion.Ding!A soft chime echoed through the narrow space a few moments later as the elevator reached its destination. The doors slid open with a mechanical hiss. Without hesitation, she stepped out with a measured, almost regal gait. The doors closed behind her with a metallic thud, sealing off the chaos below.Her eyes shifted toward the wall beside her, locking onto a red emergency power switch. It was one of the main control switches that regulated the company's power grid. Flipping it would either plunge the entire building into darkness or restore its energy—depending on its current state.She moved towards it with determined steps. Without a moment’s hesitation, she reached out with her right hand and gripped the switch. A deep breath escaped her lips before she yanked it down with force.Immediately, the overhead light bulbs began to flicker erratically. Sparks danced
Platinum bloodbath
Steve leaned behind the counter, panicking. His heart pounded violently in his chest, and cold sweat trickled down his face. He swallowed hard before taking a quick peek, and when he did, his eyes widened in sheer terror. Lying on the floor were several of his co-workers. They were all sprawled out in a pool of blood, and the entire floor was covered with shattered fragments of the glass entrance door, which had been blown to pieces by gunfire.He shifted his gaze to the side and spotted the rest of the surviving co-workers who had managed to take cover just before the shooting began. Each of them was trembling in fear, their faces drenched in sweat, eyes wide and unblinking. Their minds raced, trying to comprehend who these men were and why this was happening.Were they robbers?But something didn’t add up. Robbers wouldn’t just show up and immediately start shooting. Even armed criminals typically demanded something first—money, valuables, access. They only resorted to violence when
Storm on the Horizon
“Welcome to NovaTech Industries. My name is Evelyn Stone, the CEO of this company,” Evelyn said as she approached Zed the moment he stepped inside with Mr. Han. With a warm smile and polished demeanor, she extended her right hand for a handshake.“Zed Zimmerman,” Zed replied calmly, shaking her hand with a firm grip.“Zed Zimmerman…” Evelyn repeated, almost in disbelief. “I’ve heard so much about you.”“You have?” Zed asked, raising an eyebrow, a subtle look of puzzlement etched across his face.“Of course,” Evelyn said with a light laugh. “Every business tycoon in this city knows your name. I’ve heard about your hard work and progress. Quite impressive, honestly.”The last thing she had expected today was for a man like Zed Zimmerman to walk through those doors. His reputation preceded him—both feared and respected in business circles.“What brings you here today, Mr. Zimmerman?” she asked, her voice cordial but curious.“I saw on the news that your company recently developed another
Marked by the Emperor
Salazar McCall leaned forward and puffed out smoke from his mouth before speaking, his voice low and deliberate. "So... what's the update? Why have you brought this man here?" he asked, smoke curling from his lips with every word he uttered, drifting upward like a serpent into the air."This man, Leo, was caught stealing from us, boss," one of the guards standing beside Salazar growled, his gaze fixed intensely on the young man kneeling before them. "He hid several packs of cocaine that we were supposed to deliver to Mr. Davidson. He stashed them away so he could sell them later and pocket the profits for himself," he added with scorn.The man on his knees swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing. Cold sweat trickled down his face in thin streams, and his hands trembled uncontrollably. He looked utterly defeated.Salazar’s expression darkened upon hearing the report. He didn’t blink, didn’t move. His cold, calculating eyes remained locked on the kneeling figure.After a long, tense pa
Calculated moves
Zed sat comfortably in his chair, his left elbow resting against the desk in front of him while his right hand held his phone. Seated across from him were four of his most trusted employees: Steve, Amanda, Christopher, and Han.Christopher was one of Zed's top engineers—young, talented, and full of innovative thinking. Han, on the other hand, was a middle-aged man, seasoned and deeply respected within the company. He was one of the sharpest minds Zed had ever worked with. The way Han brainstormed and delivered fresh ideas was on another level entirely—almost as if inspiration itself flowed through him.But Han’s value to Zed extended far beyond his intelligence. He was connected—deeply connected. Friends in high places, across various top-tier engineering firms in the city, often made the impossible possible for him. Through those connections, Han had helped Zed acquire advanced engines and rare equipment from elite manufacturers. Engines that were considered off-limits, even to other
Unlocked
Zed stood there in the hallway, his gaze fixated on his personal office that was located a few paces away from where he was, and a slight look of puzzlement etched on his face.As he glanced at the door, he noticed it was slightly open, and that alone made him extremely confused."Why is it open?" he wondered, then slowly began to walk towards it. He advanced with caution, his gaze never leaving the door.Zed finally halted his steps in front of the door and glanced at it for a few moments before raising his right hand to push it open. The door creaked the second he pushed it, and his eyes widened slightly."I remember locking this door the last time I was in here... I always lock it whenever I leave." He mused silently. "So why is it unlocked?"Zed opened the door wider before stepping inside slowly, and as he did, he scanned the place thoroughly.This room was where he kept important documents. Documents like his house ownership papers, vehicle documents, essential receipts, contrac
