Trillionaire they never noticed Auctioning 3
"Scott, would you like to continue, or should we sell to Ramous?" Billy turned to face Scott who still stood there with his hands tucked in his pockets, and a confident look still evident on his face."Let me see you try offering something higher than what I just offered, Scott." Ramous Stormbreaker smirked right where he stood, and his gaze fixed on Scott.The whole crowd waited in anticipation of what Scott's final decision would be and if he would be capable of keeping it going.Scott took is hands out of his pocket and straightened his crimson T-SHIRT before responding."Thirty million dollars!" Scott spoke in a resounding tone that echoed throughout the hall. The whole jaws in the hall dropped to the floor, including that of Ramous after they all heard the words of Scott Carden."T-thirty million?" Billy blurted out in disbelief."Yes, sir. I am willing to pay thirty million for that heirloom, unless Ramous here has a higher offer for it." Scott responded with a smirk as he shift

"I will be offering $50,000,000 for the heirloom!" Scott announced audibly, and Ramous Stormbreaker staggered backwards a bit out of shock and almost lost his balance.This time around, the whole hall became silent as Scott's words caught everyone off guard. They had thought Ramous Stormbreaker was the winner after he offered 35 million dollars since they all concluded that Scott wasn't the type of man who could afford such an amount based on his looks and young age. But to their greatest surprise, he didn't just offered something higher, but something far from what Ramous had offered. 50 million dollars.For him to be able to splash such an amount like that, meaning he was indeed loaded, and 50 million was just a drop in the bucket compared to what he had."This guy...curse you Scott Carden..curse you Fernando." Ramous Stormbreaker clenched his teeth as he glared at Scott in anger. His whole suit now drenched in his own sweat as he contemplated on just how he should get out of the s
Trillionaire they never noticed Search for Robby
Somewhere else in the city...The highway was dark and empty. The sounds of frogs croaking could be heard from the sides since it was already midnight, and no one or any vehicle could be seen moving around.VROOOOMMM!!!The sound of vehicle driving at full speed resounded throughout the highway as a cop car drove through it. A man was seated inside the car, his right hand holding the wheels and his left hand making a phone call."Pick the fuck up, Robby." Chief Jim lamented as he kept driving forward, heading towards Robby's college.Part of the plan tonight was for Chief Jim to head to the college and see if Robby was there,and also keep an eye on him till day break. If he should arrive in Robby's college and he didn't find him in his dorm room,and the gang Hunter was later seen in the annual gang meeting, then Robby was most likely the Hunter.After all, a dagger was already found I his backpack, that was enough evidence, but they still wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt.A

"Chief Jim,what are you doing here by this hour?" The headmistress questioned while buttoning her cloth, and a nervous expression evident on her face. Chief Jim ignored her question as he shifted his gaze towards the naked man that hid behind the desk.Chief Jim glanced at the man for a few seconds before he finally muttered, "I am sorry for interrupting you guys.""Ah, no, it's fine. Kent was just leaving." The headmistress responded with a nervous smile before shifting her gaze towards the man and gave him an eye signal. Receiving the signal, the man picked up his black suit and ran out of office."Isn't that the Vice Mayor?" Chief Jim questioned with a puzzled expression."Y-yes, he's the one." She stuttered nervously.Chief Jim glanced at her in bewilderment after hearing her response. Vice Mayor Kent has three wives at home and six children,and yet he's still secretly making out with the Headmistress.Chief Jim could see the nervous look on the Headmistress's face and could unde

Chief Jim ran forward for several more minutes, until he finally arrived in the hospital and rushed inside quickly. The hospital was almost deserted, and only a few nurse's could be seen walking around here and there. Chief Jim made his way towards the receptionist sitting behind a desk."Good morning." Chief Jim greeted."Good morning, Chief. How may I help you?" The lady questioned."I was informed that my son was brought in here earlier for treatments." Chief Jim replied."Your son? What's his name?" The lady inquired as she opened her register and began to flip the pages."His name is Robby Vasquez. He was stabbed earlier and rushed in here." Chief Jim informed."Oh, that's your son? He is currently undergoing a surgery in ward 25." She announced."A surgery? Is the injury that serious?" Chief Jim blurted out in shock, and his heart racing non-stop as he felt restless."I ain't the doctor. But based on what I heard, the dagger went quite dip into his belly and also pierced some of

"Do you have a minute, Mr Leeray?" Mr Fernando questioned as he walked towards them. Hearing the words of Mr Fernando, Mr Leeray and Ice shifted their gazes towards him,and after he caught a glimpse of Mr Fernando's face, he remembered what Miguel told him."Now I remember. He said he was going to attend a wedding at your place, Fernando." Mr Leeray spoke, glaring at Mr Fernando as he puffed out smoke.Mr Fernando went mute after hearing the words of Mr Leeray, and he contemplated on just how he should break the news to him."Mr Malcolm Fernando, is everything okay?" Ice who stood beside Mr Leeray raised a question."Y-yes, I am okay." Mr Fernando responded, his face already filled with his sweat and his heart racing."As I was saying. Miguel told me earlier that he was headed to your place to attend some wedding, and since then he hasn't returned. Any idea of what might have happened? Why he is yet to return?" Mr Leery inquired in a calm tone as he blew out another cloud of smoke fro

Mr Fernando picked himself up and walked back into the hall and headed to his seat. He straightened his suit before sitting down beside Scott who had his gaze fixed on him, waiting for an explanation on how it went with Mr Leeray."So, how did it go, sir?" Scott inquired calmly."At least I'm still alive, that's all that matters for now." Mr Fernando responded."He believed your words and would go after Ramous instead of you?" Scott inquired."I am not sure yet. With the way he reacted I doubt if he believed a single word of mine. He said he would talk to Ramous after the meeting is over, but I doubt if that's going to change anything. I'm fucked, Scott, and it's all because of that bastard." Mr Fernando uttered as he leaned his head down and grabbed his head."Don't say that yet when it's still far from over. Besides, he said he would approach Ramous, right? There's no way Ramous would lie when a man like Mr Leeray questions him, and if he denies it there would be enough witness agai

Still in the annual gang meeting's venue..Somewhere else in the venue..After getting separated from Jordan, Dawn walked down the hallway that led to the CCTV room, while Jordan headed to the rooftop. Dawn walked through the hallway while shifting her gaze around, and after walking for a few minutes, she finally arrived in front of the room.She took a deep breath in and out before pushing the door open and walked inside. Entering the room, Dawn was expecting everyone to glare at her, question her, and even call the security, so she was fully prepared for all that.But that didn't seem to be the case. Even though she just walked inside unannounced, no one spared her a glance and all their gazes were glued to the monitor like robots.The room was quite vast and spacious, several chairs arranged in two neat rolls with a computer stationed in front, and the seats were occupied by workers who surveyed the whole area.Dawn shifted her gaze to her left hand side and caught sight of the uni

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
