Caleb halted his steps after hearing the word of Scott, and disbelief evident on his face.

"What do you mean by that? What do you mean 'men'?" He asked.

Scott also came to a halt and turned around to face him.

"I told you earlier that I can't be in here and I needed to get out. Well, I was able to communicate with one of my trusted men last night and they are currently working on breaking me out." Scott bellowed in a hushed voice.

"Wait, so you were serious? Are you really going to break out?" Caleb blurted out..

"I wouldn't have said anything if I wasn't serious." Scott responded.

"But isn't it dangerous? The last guy that tried to escape during a riot was shot dead by the coppers." Caleb remarked.

"Well, I won't be sneaking out or try to move stealthily. When that day comes there's gonna be a lot of noise. Explosions, gunshots. The cops won't know what hit them." Scott replied, his voice barely above a whisper.

"So when is this going to happen?" Caleb asked.

"I'm not sure. I already

    Sweat trickled down his face.His face and body was covered in dust.His muscle aches as he carries on digging holes just like the rest of the prisoners on the field. Caleb stood beside him, patiently waiting for the sand to pile up before placing it in the pan and taking it to the backyard of the main building.Scott dug for several minutes, and when the sand was big enough Caleb carried it with his shovel and poured it into the pan. When the pan was full he carried it with both hands and placed it on his head before walking away.Caleb walked away from the field with the pan on his head, making his way to the backyard. When he arrived there and attempted to pour it on the spot, someone came out of nowhere and pushed him.He staggered forward before landing on the floor, and the sand in the pan scattered all over the place. Caleb frowned as he shifted his gaze to see just who had pushed him. However, when he saw the group of men standing in front of him his heart skipped a beat."The

    The backyard of the prison as Scott stood opposite Sam and his minions. They already pulled out their short daggers and were now gripping it tightly in their hands. The wind was chilly, and the air was thick with tension."I told you earlier that I don't want trouble and you should stay away from me. You chose not to listen and now you are here to attack me. Why?" Scott bellowed softly, his gaze fixed intently on Sam."Every prisoner here belongs to me. I am the Emperor. I run things here. Anyone who doesn't obey shall face the consequence, that's exactly what I told you. I gave you a second chance to fix your mistake and do as I say, but you turned me down yet again. It's time to face the consequences for your actions. And your punishment is death!" Sam spat, his voice filled with disdain as he glared at Scott."Alright then. But let me warn you... I won't hold back." Scott stated coldly as he began to roll up his sleeves and readied his fighting stance."Get him, boys!" He ordered.

    Sam swallowed hard right where he was, and a frightful expression was evident on his face. The conference he once had was gone and was now replaced with nothing but fear. He never expected Scott to defeat his minions so easily.There was a reason why everyone in the prison feared. Yes, they are scared of him because he was a notorious Crimelord before he got arrested. But that wasn't the only reason. Another reason was because he had strong men by his side.Those minions Scott had just defeated used to be his bodyguards. They were insanely strong and had a lot of battle experience and IQ. When he got arrested he made sure they also followed him to prison for protection.Ever since then the prisoners and some of the police officers have been afraid of him. But for some reason Scott was able to defeat them all without breaking a sweat."Just who is this man? He doesn't look like much. I don't even see anything special about him..." Sam pondered internally, his gaze fixed intently on Sco

    The moment Scott turned around to see who it was, he caught sight of a familiar face. It was the nurse who took care of him. Nurse Angela."Do you need anything?" Scott asked with a slight look of puzzle."You and I need to have a serious conversation, Scott." Nurse Angela stated coldly."Okay? What do you mean?" Scott asked, his expression a mixture of surprise and confusion.Angela glanced around before shifting her gaze back to Scott."We can't talk here. Come with me to my office." She replied as she turned around and began to walk away. Scott stood there for a few moments as he watched her walk away before following her.They both walked down the hallway and took a few turns before arriving at the office. Angela unlocked the door with her personal key and they both stepped inside.After stepping inside she made sure the door was locked before advancing forward and went closed to her desk where her phone was."What's the matter?" Scott asked, still confused by the whole thing.Ang

    "That won't happen if you are already dead, Scott." Angela spat coldly. "I'll give you two options. Take this phone and call whoever it is you called and tell him to call off the plan and shouldn't come here, or I will head over to the office of the higher-ups and tell them all that I know."Scott stood frozen after hearing those words, and his gaze fixed intently on Angela.After a few moments of silence he finally spoke up."Go ahead then. Report me to the higher-ups. Tell them I am planning to escape. Let them find me, let them drag the outside, and let them hang me in front of everyone. You will watch me choke and die when you have the chance to help me and also make your life better." Scott bellowed in a serious tone."What do you mean by that?" Angela asked with a slight look of puzzle."You see, I told you... I am not an ordinary man. Aside from having several armies I am also very loaded. Or should I say you are currently looking at a trillionaire." Scott remarked, and Angela

    Sandro didn't understand the language, but when he saw them point their guns at him he froze and lifted his hands above his head."What brings a foreigner to this specific part of China?" One of them asked, their tone sharp with suspicion."Uhm... I'm sorry but I can't understand the words that are coming out of your mouth. Can someone translate?" Sandro muttered with his hands high above his head."He was asking what a foreigner like you want in an area like this. Don't you know where you are right now? This city is the territory of the Aqua Blazing gang. It's no place for a foreigner." A woman stepped out of the shiny black car behind the men and spoke up in English.She also looked Asian. She had short pitch black hair that resembled a wig,her neck before was covered in tattoos, a ring could be seen on her nose and a couple of rings could be seen on her mouth. She was clad in a leather black jacket and black pants. "My Boss sent me here. He told me to come meet a man who might be

    The lady paid no attention to his question and kept driving forward. Sandro frowned as he finally realized he was being kidnapped. He swiftly pulled out a shiny dagger from his belt and clenched it tightly."I said where the hell are you taki-"BAM!Before he could finish his words, one of the men who was beside him grabbed his head and slammed it really hard on the window, causing him to black out instantly."I was really hoping he wouldn't find out before we arrived. But I guess he was just too smart." The lady said softly as she carried on driving.They drove for a few moments until they finally pulled over in front of an uncompleted building. The doors were opened and they all stepped outside."Take him to the top floor and tie him up. I'll wait out here until my boss arrives." The lady ordered.The comrades nodded as they carried Sandro, who was still unconscious, out of the car and made their way to the building.With the men gone, the lady brought out a pack of cigarettes from

    "Chief Jim, I wasn't expecting you." Suarez Perez muttered with a shocked expression as he sat down opposite him. "What brings you here today because you haven't visited any of us ever since we got arrested." He added, his gaze fixed intently on Chief Jim.Chief Jim let out a heavy sigh before responding, "I'm sorry for not visiting. I'm sure you think I was being selfish and I abandoned you all, but that's not true."He paused in his words and sat there in silence for a few moments before resuming."My son is dead."Hearing the words of Chief Jim, Perez's eyes widened in shock and disbelief."What? What happened to Robby?!" He blurted out in disbelief."He was killed... He was killed by the Hunter." Chief Jim informed, his voice laced with anger. "Oh my God I can't believe this. I'm truly sorry for your loss." Perez remarked."It's fine. That's not why I'm here. I came here because I need your help." Chief Jim stated."How could I possibly help you?

  • Double the security

    The room fell into a tense silence after Mohammed finished speaking. Scott remained seated, his dark eyes locked onto his adversary with a cold, unreadable expression. His arms were folded tightly across his chest, and he leaned back slightly in his chair, unmoved.After a long, loaded pause, Mohammed finally broke the silence.“You should always be prepared, Scott. I must admit, I’m not impressed with your security. The way I walked in here—it was easy… too easy.”Scott’s eyes narrowed. “And what makes you think leaving will be just as easy as coming in?” he replied icily. “You walked into the den of your enemy for what? To introduce yourself and issue a threat? You came without an army, just a pistol. What made you believe I’d let you walk out of here alive?”Mohammed smirked. Without a word, he reached for the pistol tucked into his belt and slowly drew it. He raised it, aiming directly at Scott’s head, his finger resting firmly on the trigger.“Because if you try anything foolish,

  • 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
