Trillionaire they never noticed I came prepared
"I see. No wonder why you never said anything all through the call. You remained mute until the call was ended." Mr Fernando rubbed his chin at the realization."Exactly." Scott affirmed."And what does that got to do with all these? We both know you answered the call and just pretending there as some assassin which there clearly wasn't! I didn't send any assasin to you! You know what, that's it, I am calling the security!" Mrs Sheila roared as she took out her phone and attempted to dial the security number, but Mr Fernando's voice stopped her."You will call no one." Mr Fernando ordered before shifting his gaze back to Scott. "Say more." Scott nodded as he began to speak further.."If you say I'm lying, then where did I get such injury from?" Scott muttered as he pushed his sporting black hair backwards, revealing an injury on his forehead. Mr Fernando's eyes widened after catching sight of the injury."How am I supposed to know where you got your injury from? You probably fell off
Trillionaire they never noticed So many evidence
"You three can come in now!" Scott instructed in a high pitched tone.Seconds after Scott said those words, the entrance door of the living room flung open, and three rugged looking men walked in. Mrs Sheila's heart skipped a beat after catching a glimpse of the men that had just walked in. They were all huge with bulky features, and their whole body covered in tattoos. Glancing at their faces, Mrs Sheila recognized them instantly.It was Tabulee...the same man she hired to assassinate Scott last night.Tabulee and his two comrades stepped forward and stood beside Scott. A fierce look evident on their faces. Mrs Sheila's dress was now soaked in her own sweat and her heart racing, with a nervous look evident on her faces."Who are these men, Scott? Mr Fernando inquired,his gaze fixed intently on the men that had just walked into his home."This right here is Tabulee, the man sent by your wife to assassinate me." Scott informed, and Mrs Sheila shifted her gaze to the floor afraid of ma
Trillionaire they never noticed Flashback
FEW HOURS AGO...THE NIGHT TABULEE ATTACKED SCOTT..."You are dead meat, Scott Carden." Tabulee spoke as he picked up his dagger and began to walk towards Scott who laid down motionless on the floor with blood gushing out from his head. Before Tabulee could get close, the sound of siren caught his attention and he shifted his gaze towards the window, spotting a cop car heading towards the apartment. "Damn it, what are the cops doing here?" Tabulee huffed with a frown. "let's get out of here, guys. I can't afford getting caught and being locked up in jail." Tabulee declared as he turned around and attempted to exit through the backdoor, but the sound of phone ringing made him halt his steps and shifted his gaze towards where Scott laid down.He bent down in front of Scott and took out his phone to see just who is calling."Mr Fernando?" Tabulee blurted out with his eyes widened in shock. "This guy wasn't joking when he said he was really close to Mr Fernando?"Tabulee's hands began t

The voice note of Mrs Sheila and Tabulee kept playing, allowing everyone to hear how Mrs Sheila gave Tabulee orders to kill Scott and also discussed about his payments.After a few minutes, the recording finally ended, and the whole room fell silent."So, do you mind explaining?" Scott smirked while glaring right into the eye of Mrs Sheila.All eyes turned to Mrs Sheila who was still sweating bucket full even though the room was as cold as North Pole. She knew that was the end, and it was impossible to bring up another lie.It this was a chess match, it would be called a checkmate."Uhm...uhm..uhm.." She stuttered, trying to figure out how to get out of this situation. The only thing she wished for right now was for the ground to open up and swallow her, because she couldn't stand the hateful glares from her husband.She has never seen him this furious before. Mr Fernando has always seen Mrs Sheila as the meek and humble woman that always looks out for everyone. Even though she did ha

"Guys?" Tabulee called out with a dumbfounded look as he glanced around he street, but they were nowhere to be found. "Where could they b-" Tabulee paused in his words as he noticed a figure few meters away from where he stood."Who are you?" Tabulee demanded. He couldn't see the face or appearance of the person, all he could see was a black figure."I AM JUSTICE!" A loud mechanical voice was heard as the figure spoke.Hearing the words of the man, a puzzled expression etched on the face of Tabulee as he struggled to figure out what me meant, and why his voice was like that of a robot."Don't make me ask again, man! Who are you, and do you have anything to do with my friends disappearance?" Tabulee demanded in a commanding tone."YOUR FRIENDS, YOU SAY? YOU MEAN THE ONES THAT HAS BEEN COMMITING ATROCITIES IN THS SOCIETY? ATROCITIES LIKE ASSASINATION, ROBBERY, VANDALISM, AND SO MANY MORE?" The deep and menacing voice sounded once more."Look, I admit we were bad guys, but not anymore! I
Trillionaire they never noticed Operation begins
A truck drove towards the entrance gate of the venue, but three gigantic guards blocked their path and walked to the driver's seat."Show me your license." The guard requested in a deep tone.Perez nodded his head as he took out the fake ID he made earlier and handed it over to the man. The guard retrieved the card and glanced at it with a look of suspicion evident on his face.He glanced at the ID card for a few minutes before handing it back to Perez and moved towards the truck to take a closer look inside. He swept his gaze through the inside of the truck and could see a total of three individuals sitting down with fierce looks on their faces."Open the gate!" He finally ordered after examining them for few more minutes.Hearing the words of the man, the giant gate blocking their path slid open, and the truck drove into the compound of the opulent venue."That was close." Blake commented right where he sat while letting out a sigh of relief."Head to a place with less people and pa

Oh yeah? Then why did you use it in the first place?" Blake teased with a smirk, hoping to anger the man. That worked out quite well and the man began to charge forward with his face bright red in anger, and when he arrived in striking distance, he punched out his fist towards Blake's head.The punch traveled towards his face, and the speed was quite shocking to Blake. He had not expected such a huge man to be able to move so swiftly. In the last second, he stepped to the side, and the man's fist missed his face and kept traveling forward due to the power behind it.Seizing the opportunity, Blake clenched his left fist tightly and swung it out from below towards the man's jaw. The man who had punched out earlier, was unable to retrieve his outstretched arm on time to block after catching a glimpse of Blake's fist heading towards him.Blake's fist jammed into his jaw, and the sound of teeth breaking reverberated throughout the hallway as the man's huge body got lifted off the floor and
Trillionaire they never noticed Disappointing gods
The night air was filled with the soft hum of luxury as a sleek, shiny Mercedes Benz S-Class pulled into the opulent venue. The car's chrome accents glinted like diamonds under the soft glow of the venue's exterior lighting, and its black paint job seemed to absorb the light around it, giving it an air of mystery and sophistication.As the Mercedes came to a stop, a long convoy of black cars followed suit, pulling up behind it in a sleek, precision-lined row. The cars were all identical, their tinted windows reflecting the vibrant lights of the venue like a row of dark mirrors.The Mercedes's driver, a impeccably dressed chauffeur with a crisp white glove, stepped out and opened the rear door with a flourish, revealing the elegantly dressed figure of Mr Fernando. Fernando's black tuxedo was immaculately tailored, and his silver hair was slicked back, revealing piercing blue eyes that seemed to gleam in the light.With a graceful smile, Mr Fernando emerged from the car, his eyes scanni

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
