The shot that changed everything
"Ah, ah, careful now, boy," Gustavo hissed, pressing the cold edge of his dagger against Lucas's neck. "One wrong move, and I’ll slice his throat open."Zed halted mid-step, both hands lifting slightly in surrender."Let him go, man," he demanded, his voice clear and firm, his gaze locked on Gustavo with piercing intensity."Hell yeah, like I’m going to do that," Gustavo scoffed with a sneer. He tightened his grip on Lucas. "I’ll only let him go if you give me what I want.""And what exactly is that?" Zed asked calmly, though tension flickered in his voice."You know what I want—don’t play dumb, kid!" Gustavo barked, spit flying from his lips. "Unlock your phone and hand it over."Zed's reply was instantaneous. "I don’t think I can do that.""Is that so?!" Gustavo growled. "I said unlock your phone and hand it over! If you don’t, I’ll carve your little minion’s neck wide open!""Don’t listen to him, boss! He’s bluffing!" Lucas shouted, his voice defiant despite the blade against his t
A billionaire in the killing zone
"Good evening, amigos," Gustavo said with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes.His voice was deep and composed, yet beneath that calm exterior was the subtle threat of a man who had killed before—and wouldn’t hesitate to do it again."Evening," Zed responded coolly, his tone unreadable. "How can we help you?" he asked, maintaining a casual composure that contrasted sharply with the tension rising around them.Gustavo took a few slow, deliberate steps closer. As he advanced, Steve—who was standing beside Zed—instinctively took a step back, his heart thudding hard in his chest.“When I saw you earlier, I figured you were just another one of those messengers sent by some rich prick,” Gustavo began, his voice low but firm. “You know, the type who love dressing up in fancy suits to mimic their boss. But,” he chuckled darkly, “it seems I was wrong.”He motioned slightly toward Daniel. “My comrade here told me he caught a glimpse of something... interesting. Said he saw your phone. Clai
Outnumbered, Undettered
The moment Zed opened his banking app, Daniel—still hovering beside him—snuck a glance at the screen. His eyes caught Zed's account balance, and instantly, his jaw slackened, mouth falling open as if gravity had yanked it down. His pupils dilated with disbelief.He had never—never—seen such an amount of money in his entire life.For several heartbeats, Daniel remained frozen, his gaze glued to the screen like a man witnessing a myth come to life. Then, slowly, he shifted his stunned stare to Zed, who appeared calm, methodical, and unbothered as he began making the transaction.Who the hell is this guy...? Daniel wondered, eyes narrowed.Everything about Zed screamed power and precision. Judging by that staggering account balance alone, Daniel knew—without a shred of doubt—that Zed wasn’t just another rich man. He was someone. Someone important.But why was a man of his caliber here? In this place?Men like Zed didn't come to the Black Zone in person. Not unless they were mad—or extrem
Gun shopping
She turned around and reached for a remote resting beside a monitor. With a quiet click, the wall behind her began to rumble softly. Panels shifted aside with mechanical precision, revealing a concealed vault embedded within the wall—its interior lined with sleek, high-grade, top-tier weapons that shimmered beneath crisp white spotlights.“This,” she said, gesturing with a flourish, “is where we keep the real gems.”Zed stepped forward, his gaze fixed intently on the vault. Awe flickered across his usually composed face. Lucas stood to his left, while Steve stood at his right, both equally mesmerized by the arsenal before them.“You don’t mind me asking what you need the weapons for, do you?” the woman inquired, her tone casual yet curious.Zed shifted his gaze to her, but before he could respond, Lucas spoke up.“If there’s one thing I know about the Black Zone, it’s that you guys don’t ask questions. Even if a kid walks in demanding a machine gun, not a single question would be aske
The Black Zone
Lucas drove the car back to Platinum Industries, and he pulled over a few meters away from the building. The sun had already set, and the day had now given way to night. The only sources of illumination were the dim, flickering bulbs hanging sporadically around the premises, casting long shadows that danced with the breeze.Both Zed and Lucas remained seated inside the vehicle after they arrived, patiently waiting for Steve to emerge.They waited for a few quiet moments until the glass entrance door of the company slid open, and two figures stepped outside. Steve and Amanda walked out of the building, giggling softly, their arms wrapped affectionately around each other.Zed glanced at them from where he sat in the backseat, his expression unreadable, his eyes narrowing slightly as he observed the scene.The couple continued to laugh and talk as they made their way towards the car. When they finally reached the vehicle, they halted just beside it, lost momentarily in each other’s prese
Unraveling Threads
Zed pulled out his phone slowly, the glow of the screen illuminating the sharp angles of his face in the dim lighting of the club. He swiped through his home screen until he reached his banking app, tapping it with practiced precision. The app loaded swiftly, revealing the staggering balance in his account. The system had deposited an additional eighty million dollars earlier that morning—a reward for his recent level-up.Zed barely blinked at the zeros. That kind of money had long since stopped exciting him.He turned the screen toward Jack. “I’ll need your account details.”Jack hesitated, still uncertain if he was being set up, but eventually rattled them off. Zed entered the numbers, double-checked, and hit send. A moment later, the app buzzed with confirmation.Simultaneously, Jack felt his phone vibrate deep in his jeans pocket.He pulled it out quickly, the anticipation showing in the twitch of his jaw and the narrowing of his eyes. He unlocked the screen, and as the banking no
