Exiting the mansion, Scott headed straight home. He lacked the monet to use public transport since he left his debit card at home due to rush, so he ended up treking.
While walking through the street under the afternoon sun, Scott began to ponder on just how he would dig out some evidence that would prove his innocence to Mr. Fernando.He was certain that Pedro planted that object in his locker just to frame him and prevent the wedding, but with no concrete evidence no one would believe him.And to make matters worse, he only has 10 days to fulfill the task.'I can't let the wedding being called off. I still need to get married into that family so i could watch them from the inside.' Scott pondered, walking through the street with his hands tucked in his pockets.The only reason why he came into the country, disguising as Scott, was to investigate a certain family. And that family was the Fernando family.He had suspected the family to be the cause of his father and little sister's death that happened months ago, but he needed evidence to prove they were guilty.Mr. Fernando worked under his father in his company, until his father built another company in this country and assigned it unto Mr. Fernando. Mr. Fernando must have hired gang to kill him because his father was shot immediately he got to the airport, and his little sister also got shot.No one knew who shot the bullet, but it couldn't be a coincidence that the day his father went to the country to fire Mr. Fernando, that's also the day he died.'I just need to gather more info on them. And getting married to Caroline is the perfect way for me to carry out my plan. She thinks i'm a fool and i don't know she cheats on me with Pedro?' Scott intoned with a grin on his face.He remembered one night when he caught Pedro banging Caroline, but he chose to turn a blind eye and ignore it.'I wonder why she is also pretending to love me. Why does she keep fighting with Pedro and her family when she knows she doesn't love me?' Scott mused in confusion. The way Caroline defenfed him infront of her family, even when she is cheating on him, made him wonder why.When someone is cheating on someone means she doesn't love him again. Why then is she fighting to get married to him?'Well, it doesn't matter.' Scott chose to ignore the matter and took another turn to a new broad street. The street was quite broad and empty, but the sound of a girl whimpering cohld be heard meters away.'What's that noise?' Scott pondered, increasing his pace as he headed towards the sound. Upon getting there, he found a single thug that had tattoos all over his body molesting a girl and she was beghing for her life with tears streaming down her eyes."Jusr shut up and stop struggling!" The thug voiced out, grabbing her two arms with a single hand and using his other hand to undress her.Scott emanined the situation for few minutes before glancinh at the floor and saw a metal bar. He picked it up and held it firmly with both hands."Let her go!" Scott voiced in a demanding tone, causing the thug and the girl to shift their gazes towards him."Get out of here, kid. There is nothing to see!" The thug sounded, ignoring Scott and continuing with his business."I said let her go!" Scott repeated,taking a step forward. This time, the thug let go of the girl and she fell to the ground, before turning around to face Scott."You got a death wish or what, kid?" The thug questioned, pulling out a knife from his pocket and holding it tightly in his hand. "You missed your chance of escaping, kid."Saying those words, the thug pulled his arm backwards and stabbed his knife forward towards Scott. Scott reacted by lifting up the iron bar and deflecting the knife.After successfully dodging the attack, Scott lifted up his leg and kicked the thug on the chest and he fell down to the floor. Before he could stand back up, Scott lifted up the solid iron bar and slammed it on the thug's head.The bar made impact with his head and knocked him down to the floor. Blood flowed out from his head and he laid down there motionless.Scott dropped the bar and began to pant heavily. He glanced at the thug on the ground and moved closer to him to examine him."Y-y-you killed him." The lady that was being molested earlier spoke in a shaky voice with her palm covering her mouth.She wasn't wrong. The thug was dead. Scott killed him.Scott picked up the knife which the thug wielded and examined the hilt. There was a drawing of a red skull which Scott recognized instantly.'He is apart of the Red skull gang.' Scott pondered with his heart racing. He placed the knife in his pocket and attempted to leave."W-where are you going?" The lady questioned."What do you mean where am i going? I am going home ofcourse." Scott responded, irritated by her question."What about me?" She asked,wiping thw tears off her eyes."What about you?" Scott responded with a question."Where am i going to go? This street is where i used to live, and now that you just killed a gang m...""Hey, listen up." Scott interrupted her. "Yes, i killed him. But it was out of self defense. If you ever mention anything to anyone, i will come for you too." Scott bluffed."I don't plan on telling anyone. But if the police or the gang finds me here they would force the information out of me. So please, help me." She pleaded, grabbing unto Scott's arm.Scott glanced at her and realized she was right. If he should leave without her, the police might show up and arrest her and then force the information out of her.So the best thing to do now was..."Come with me." Scott uttered.
Latest Chapter
Perez!
The duo ran as fast as they could until they arrived in front of a door near the inventory section. Perez pulled it open, and as they stepped inside, the guards behind them opened fire. But none of the bullets found their mark. Instead, they pierced the walls and the doorframe, leaving small holes in the metal and splintered wood.The room they had entered was vast and hollow, filled with tall, empty wooden shelves. The air was musty and thick with dust. The room was dimly lit—its only source of illumination being a single, flickering bulb dangling from the ceiling. Every few seconds, the bulb would malfunction and plunge the space into complete darkness before sparking back to life with an ominous buzz.Their breathing was heavy. Hearts pounded in their chests as cold sweat trickled down their brows. Both scanned the room with wide, frantic eyes.“Where is this place?” Blake asked, his voice barely above a whisper.“It used to be a storage room,” Perez replied as he slowly advanced.
Dead wrong
“What have you done?” Perez blurted out, his voice sharp and alarmed, eyes narrowing as they locked onto the prison officer who had just finished calling reinforcements through his radio. His entire body tensed, every muscle coiled like a spring.The officer returned his glare without a hint of concern. His voice was icy and deliberate.“I just called my fellow comrades,” he said calmly, the radio still crackling faintly in his hand. “They’re all on their way here now.” He took a slow step forward, his gaze unwavering. “No one escapes this place… not alive, anyway.”A chill ran down Perez’s spine. He spun toward Blake, who stood a few paces behind him, still processing the unfolding chaos.“We have to get out of here. Right now.” His tone was firm and commanding—there was no room for debate.Behind them, the officer cracked his neck with a sickening pop, his face hardening. He clenched his fists, the tension in his knuckles audible.“Not on my watch,” he growled. “You’re going nowhere
Locked and Loaded
The duo moved further into the room and halted in front of the massive table positioned at the center—an arsenal laid out before them, packed with firearms and ammunition of various types.Perez stepped forward first, reaching for a compact Mini Uzi. He expertly ejected the empty magazine, allowing it to clatter onto the floor, before sliding a fully loaded one into the weapon with a sharp click. He tucked the Uzi into his left pocket and turned to the next weapon—this time, a UMP submachine gun. With the same practiced ease, he removed the spent mag and replaced it with a fresh, full one. Slinging the weapon over his shoulder, Perez didn’t stop there. He grabbed several extra magazines, stuffing them into his pockets as backup, just in case a reload became necessary during a gunfight.Blake, standing beside him, was also deep in selection.He reached out and grabbed an MP5 submachine gun, verifying its load before slinging it over his shoulder. Next, he chose a long-range rifle, expe
Inventory
“Understood, sir. We’ll head out immediately,” he replied sharply, lowering the radio with a crisp motion.A tense silence hung in the room like a thick fog. Then, without wasting another second, Matt turned on his heel and strode purposefully toward the exit door. The rest of the guards exchanged brief looks before falling into formation behind him. Together, they exited the cafeteria with focused determination, each man stepping in rhythm with the urgency of the command.Perez and Blake remained seated, their eyes tracking the departing guards. As the last officer vanished through the doorway, Perez leaned slightly toward Blake and murmured, his voice no more than a whisper.“Told you. Once they all leave, we move. You heard the guy on the radio. Almost all available guards have been summoned to the market square... which means the only ones left behind are stragglers. Leftovers. Shouldn’t be hard for us to take them out and get the hell out of here.”He spoke calmly, but with a qui
Perez unleashed
He lunged forward, swinging a heavy fist toward Perez’s face.But Perez was faster.He ducked beneath the wild punch and retaliated with a brutal strike to Duncan’s gut. The tattooed man grunted, doubling over in pain—WHAM!—just as Perez followed up with a devastating uppercut that landed with a crack loud enough to resemble a gunshot.Duncan collapsed.Flat on his back. Out cold.The entire cafeteria gasped.A sharp, collective silence swallowed the room.Everyone froze, stunned by what had just unfolded before their eyes. Dozens of eyes turned in unison, fixated on Perez, as if trying to comprehend what had just happened.The men who had stood beside Duncan moments earlier instinctively took several steps back, their faces plastered with disbelief and confusion. None of them had expected their leader—a man known for his brute strength—to go down after a single combination. It wasn’t just surprising. It was terrifying.But now wasn’t the time to act like cowards.They knew Duncan.Th
Silence the witness
The eyes of Mr. Fernando shot open as he rose to his feet the moment the call disconnected. Blood still dripped from the fresh cut on his cheek, but he showed no sign of discomfort. Calmly, he reached into his coat pocket, pulled out a white handkerchief, and dabbed at the crimson smear, cleaning it away with deliberate strokes. From the shadows behind the pillar, Bolasco also emerged, his boots echoing faintly against the concrete floor as he stepped forward."Well," Felipe began, his voice strained and laced with a twisted sense of hope, "she said she won’t be coming here. Instead, she’ll send her address, and I’ll bring you to her."He smiled faintly, nervously. "You can go over to the address she sends... give her a surprise attack.""Yes, kid," Mr. Fernando replied with a low, predatory grin. "That’s exactly what we’re going to do."Ding!A soft chime echoed through the dimly lit warehouse, its eerie tone bouncing off the rusted walls. Felipe turned his head sharply toward the s
