Out of curiosity, the man shifted his gaze towards the person that had just interfered, and all he saw was a tall good-looking man holding his fist with a confident look on his face."Scott?"Scott kept holding onto the man's fist and he clenched it tightly, causing a bone cracking sound to reverberate throughout the place as the man's bone twisted, and what followed after was a loud cry of agony.Scott finally let go of his hand, allowing the man to stagger a few steps backwards while holding his broken hand."You bastard! How dare y-" Before the man could finish his words, he caught sight of Scott throwing out his right leg towards his head. Unable to react swiftly, Scott's fist slammed heavily on his head and sent him flying backwards."Are you okay?" Scott shifted his gaze towards Jordan and questioned."Yeah, I've had worse." Jordan replied through gritted teeth. "I thought you ran?""Yeah, that was my initial plan...to run. But I soon realized that I do not know the way to the w

What about you? I still have no idea what an ordinary civilian is doing in a place like this?" Jordan questioned with a suspicious look. "Why are you here, Scott? Are you also a gang member? Or...are you the Hunter?" Jordan added.Scott remained mute for a bit after hearing the words of Jordan, and a look of contemplation evident on his face. He was well aware that the police force still suspected him of being an associate of the Hunter or maybe the Hunter himself, so seeing him in a place like this would definitely increase the suspicion percentage by 70%After a few minutes of silence, Scott finally replied softly. "Even after all my effort to prove that I am innocent y'all still suspecting me?" Scott said with his eyebrows raised slightly."Can you blame us? You keep giving us every reason to suspect you, Scott..you are always present in a crime scene and doing things that looks suspicious." Jordan voiced out. "And now you're here in this annual gang meeting and you expect us not

While Scott was busy examining the bodies, he heard Jordan's voice from the other end of the room which made him shifted his gaze instantly."Who is gone?" Scott questioned."Blake is gone!" Jordan replied with a worrisome look on his face.A puzzled expression appeared on Scott's face after hearing the words of Jordan."Who's gone?" Puzzled by his words, Scott asked."Blake,my colleague. He got injured earlier and I hid him in here, and now he's nowhere to be found." Jordan explained, feeling restless as he kept on glancing around the wine cellar. "How on Earth did he managed to leave this place when he could barely move?""Unless if he got chased by something, or someone." Scott replied as he stepped forward and glanced around the room."What do you mean?" Jordan inquired."Have you ever seen this meme where a man on wheelchair tried running away from a crocodile, but when he saw the crocodile was closing in on him he stood up from his wheelchair and ran away for his life." Scott sp

The hunter spoke as he gripped his shiny dagger firmly in his right hand and walked towards Blake who was still crawling on the floor.Blake kept crawling slowly on the floor with his legs and belly bleeding badly after getting stabbed multiple times by the Hunter."Shit, shit, shit." Blake cursed internally as he heard the footsteps getting closer, and he tried to increase the pace of his crawling but he couldn't go any faster.The footsteps grew nearer, until Blake felt the hunter grab his hair and pulled him up to his feet. Blake clenched his teeth and screamed in pain as he felt his hair being pulled aggressively.After pulling back to his feet, he hunter smashed his head back to the floor.

After his confrontation with Jordan on the top floor, Scott headed back downstairs to go rejoin with Mr Fernando. He didn't want to be away for too long to avoid suspicion from Mr Fernando and the rest.Scott took the elevator that took him straight down to the bottom floor, and he stepped out and walked towards the area Mr Fernando stood with the rest of his gang members. The whole place was still in chaos as several gang members kept searching around the place to see if they can find more culprits, while the rest took their dead bosses and drove out of the meeting venue."Did you find anything?" Mr Fernando inquired after catching sight of Scott standing beside him."Uhm... actually, yeah. I found some of the imposter's allies, but they are all dead." Scott replied."I see. That's a relief. Those bastards needed to pay for he stunt they pulled. If we hadn't discovered what their plan truly was, a fight would have broken out in here." Mr Fernando let out a sigh of relief after hearin

Mr Leeray's expression began to darken after hearing the words of Ice."Are you threatening me, Ice?" He questioned, his voice deep and menacing.Ice fell silent for several minutes, unable to reply to his question and she swiftly realized she went to far. She was fully well of what Mr Leeray was capable of, so angering him would only lead to her downfall."I am not threatening you, boss, I am just saying you should fulfil your promise and announce me as your new wife after getting rid of that woman." After several minutes of silence, Ice finally muttered."I am not going to kill my wife, and that is final. I said I would get married to you, right? Is there a case where I say something and it doesn't come to pass? It might be slow but it will definitely happen." Mr Leeray remarked."And let me warn you, if this ever repeats itself again, I'll kill you." Mr Leeray added in a cold tone, causing shivers to run down Ice's spine as the call got disconnected.After ending the call, Mr Leera

An unknown visitor
A few moments after Miranda exited the hall, the wooden door flung open again, and in came a man. The man was tall, clad in a long white native attire. His face was covered with bushy black beards, and a small white traditional cap sat on top of his head. Scott raised his head slowly, and when he spotted the man, he swiftly rose to his feet and reached for the revolver at his belt… but unfortunately, there was nothing there. “Easy now, boy. You don’t want blood all over your beautiful meeting hall, do you?” the man said softly, a smirk evident on his face. He advanced forward slowly, his hands still tucked casually in his pockets. “Who are you?” Scott demanded. “You know, in a vendetta, you should always keep your weapon by your side. But look at you—completely unarmed. I could easily kill you right now,” the man spoke audibly, the smirk still lingering on his face. “I don’t need a weapon to kill a guy like you,” Scott bellowed. “And you don’t have to answer my question… I alrea
Doorsteps
The men and women kept speaking, informing Scott about the business and operations that had taken place while he was away, as well as how Kael had handled things on his own. Scott listened attentively. Deep down, he doubted most of their words. He knew they were only trying to make him believe that Kael was a good guy—but he said nothing.All he did was listen.They spoke for several minutes until they were finally done, and the hall went dead silent.Scott just sat there in silence, digesting everything, his hands resting on the golden table, his eyes glancing at the people sitting around him.After a few moments of silence, he finally spoke up, “Thank you all for your hard work and dedication. You managed to cooperate and work diligently while I was away. I appreciate that.”They all nodded collectively.“But boss, don’t you think Kael should be part of this meeting?” a man among the group questioned. The man was known as Gabriel Veratti.“And why should he be part of the meeting?”
Covering up
Scott retrieved the vulture's feather from Kael to examine it closely. The feather was far bigger than that of normal birds, and it was also pitch black.A vulture...A sign of death.Scott already knew the Arabic men were behind the killing of the guards, but now the footage just confirmed it."Who do you think these men are?" Kael whispered to Scott. "What do you think they want?"Scott stood there in silence for a few moments before shifting his gaze towards Kael. "Did such a thing happen while I was away? Was anyone killed?""No, boss. This is the first time," Kael affirmed, and Scott went mute once again.They know.They waited until he was back before they began the killings. They knew he was back."Give these men a proper burial and make sure their families lack nothing," Scott ordered after a few moments of silence, and Kael bowed slightly. "I also want you to arrange a meeting. I'd like to speak to the high-ranking members in the empire... every single one of them should gath
Vulture's feather
"You don't have to worry about Kael anymore. Now that I'm back, he no longer has the power to harm anyone," Scott affirmed."Are you going to punish him, though? He shouldn't get away with everything he's done. I know I haven't been here for even a month, but in that short time, I could see how terrified everyone was of him. He tortured people day in and day out. That man is a monster," Angela muttered.Scott leaned back in his seat, folding his arms across his chest, a thoughtful expression settling on his face."As much as I hate to admit it, I don't think I can punish Kael," Scott stated."What? Why not?" Angela blurted out, her brows furrowed in disbelief."He kept things running while I was gone. If he hadn't done what he did, the empire might've collapsed entirely," Scott replied firmly."So you're saying you support the way he treated everyone? The cruelty?" Angela asked, her tone sharp with disapproval."I'm not saying that," Scott responded, shaking his head. "I'm just saying
Time to adapt
The Next Morning...The rays of the morning sun flickered into the luxurious room, cutting through the delicate curtains and shining brightly into Scott’s eyes, stirring him from his slumber. With a low grunt, he sat up slowly, the silky bedsheets slipping down his bare chest. He swung his legs off the bed and stretched his body with a deep yawn before moving toward the large window at the far end of the room.As he pulled the curtain aside, the golden sunlight flooded in, casting a warm glow across the marble floor. His eyes scanned the estate grounds. From his vantage point, he could already see his workers hard at work. The guards were patrolling the compound with practiced precision, eyes constantly scanning for any disturbance. Meanwhile, the maids were bustling about, cleaning every corner of the massive property with quiet efficiency.Scott stood there for a few moments, taking it all in—the return to normalcy, the subtle hum of activity that came with power. With a deep breath
Feather
Meanwhile… Elsewhere on Scott’s estate…In a quiet, deserted section of the property, four guards sat in a loose circle on wooden chairs, their flashlights clutched in their left hands while their rifles hung over their shoulders. The air was cool and thick with silence, broken only by the occasional rustle of leaves or the chirping of distant insects.They were stationed near the outer boundary of the estate—a less-traveled area that bordered dense woods. "I can't believe boss is back, man." One of the guards said, raising his plastic and sipping the gin he held in his right hand."I can't believe that after all these months he finally returned. Many said he was dead, some said he abandoned the empire because of all the responsibilities. But he's finally back." Another guard spoke up, and a joyful expression evident on his face."I'm really glad he's back. Even though I haven't met him or see him, I know he's a good and generous man. He increases our salary every month back then. No
Position
Scott walked up the staircase, ascending toward his room with slow, deliberate steps. When he reached the door, he paused for a moment before pushing it open. Scott stood silently at the threshold, his eyes sweeping across the space as a distant, unreadable expression settled on his face.The room was exactly as he had left it months ago. Not a single thing seemed out of place. There were no cobwebs in the corners, no dust blanketing the surfaces—clear evidence that the maids had continued tending to it regularly. They must have believed he would one day return, and they had kept it in perfect shape, almost as if time had stopped here."At least he didn't touch my room," Scott murmured to himself, stepping inside and gently closing the door behind him.He moved toward the bed and sat down heavily, leaning his elbows on his knees, his back hunched and his mind consumed with thought. His face remained expressionless, but his eyes told a different story—one of confusion, disappointment,
Welcome back, boss!
Scott ran his fingers through his sleek black hair and paced back and forth on the raised platform. The things he was hearing now were vastly different from how things had been just months ago. It felt like everything had changed completely—as if he had been gone for years—yet it hadn't even been a full year since his departure."You mean Sandro never used the money I sent him to support the companies?" Scott finally questioned, his voice edged with disbelief."No, he didn’t," Kael replied audibly. "Whenever I told him the company was running low on cash, he would say we should manage because you hadn’t been answering your calls. The company was slowly going bankrupt because there was no money to sustain it. That’s why I took those loans.""Sandro?" Scott echoed bitterly. "How could he do this to me? I trusted him.""I don’t think now is the time for you to worry about that, boss. You literally just got back home after months. You should’ve told me you were coming—I would have—""What
Everything's changed
Kael stood motionless on the raised platform, a puzzled expression evident on his face as his eyes locked onto the sleek black car slowly driving onto the green field. The murmuring of the crowd faded into a tense silence as all heads turned to watch the vehicle approach. A thick wave of curiosity and unease swept through them, each person wondering who could possibly be inside.They all recognized the vehicle. It wasn’t just any car—it was a limousine reserved exclusively for the highest-ranking members of the empire. But all known high-ranking figures were already present on the field. The presence of this particular car raised an immediate and unsettling question: who else could it be?Down on the wooden platform, Jude Gallagher remained on his knees, his wrists still bound. He squinted at the advancing limousine, his breath caught in his throat. Then, slowly, a wide grin crept across his bruised face.“He’s… back,” he muttered softly, the words barely a whisper, yet somehow still
