Chapter: Epilogue 3 - Quinton Consortium WorldwideThe cameras were flashing as journalists and reporters gathered at the eagerly anticipated launch of the new mall in Townsville, specifically located near the Townsville Hillside Condo. Standing in front of the main entrance, Desmond and Jocelyn faced the crowd. Desmond then took the mic to address the crowd, "After months of construction, through reported ups and downs, we are happy to announce, on behalf of the Quinton Consortium, the officially opening of Townsville Hillside Mall." said Desmond. He then took his side next to Jocelyn and proceeded to perform the cutting of the ribbon, signalling that the Townsville Hillside Mall was officially opened. Applause rang all around the front as Desmond and Jocelyn opened the front entrance doors, welcoming the crowd into the mall. In another corner of Townsville, Wayne and Kimberly were also dressed sharply; but for a different reason. Joining them were Roland and Elaine Russo, as all four of them stood in front of the main entrance t

Chapter: Epilogue 2 - The Don and his bride"Brother Derek, are you sure about this?" asked Charles as he looked at himself in the mirror. He was wearing a tuxedo; but not any ordinary tuxedo. Derek had Charles wear his diamond encrusted tuxedo, the most expensive tuxedo he bought from Nick Lopez when he first found out he was a Quinton. "I'm sure about it, Charles. I know I bought it for me initially; but in all honesty, you wearing this tux means so much more." Derek reassured Charles. "Man, I'm nervous. Brother, how did you even go through your wedding with Ms. Amanda?" asked Charles exasperately. "Desmond told me to take a deep breath to calm my nerves. It could work for you, too." replied Derek. Charles decided to take Derek's advice and took two deep breaths. Surprisingly, he felt much calmer. Then he and Derek heard a knock on the door. In walked Mason, "Brother, are you ready?" asked Mason. "As ready as I'll ever be." replied Charles. All three of them then walked upstairs... to the top deck of Charles's superyach

Chapter: Epilogue 1 - ClosureThe prison gate key entered the lock. With a click, the warden opened the cell gate, with mixed emotions. "Madam Louise... it's time." In her cell, Madam Louise looked around the jail cell she had been living in, serving her time for her past wrongs. She thought about the time she spent in the cell, forming a close friendship with the warden, being released early to help Team Quinton and the Phoenix Mafia, eventually being a key player in the fight against Pamela. It was a sad day to leave her family after the fight ended; but heading back to prison was necessary. Thanks to Lea Quinton, however, she did not have to stay in prison any longer. She received a pardon from the Mayor of Townsville; and now, she can leave the Townsville prison freely. She slowly stood up and walked towards the cell door, where she noticed her warden friend had a tear in his eye. Smiling slightly, she wiped the tear away from his eye. "No need to weep for me, young man. We will meet again, outside of t

Chapter: Chapter 140With the mask worn on his face; and the briefcase full of cash repacked into a duffel bag found in the control room, Charles slung the bag over his shoulder, ready to move out of Pamela's HQ. Before heading out, Charles made sure to surround himself in a nanoshield sphere to avoid any sudden sneak attacks. After which, Charles used his upgraded suit to do a thorough scan, looking to devise an alternate way out of Pamela's HQ. 'Hmmm... it looks like I'm going to have to blast my way out of here. Time to check out what weapons are at my disposal.' Charles thought to himself. Scanning the system in his suit through his mask, Charles was surprised to find various forms of weaponry to pave his way out. "Well then, let's get started." Charles said to himself. However, as we was about to step out of Pamela's control room, an alarm sounded inside of the control room. Red emergency lights were flickering in the control room. Charles turned his direction to one of the screens in the control

Chapter: Chapter 139"Gerard! Andrea! You certainly have some guts showing your faces here after you betrayed me!" Pamela sneered at the couple. "Lady Boss... wait! We did not betray you." Gerard defended himself. "That's right, Lady Boss! The hostages... they escaped!!" shouted Andrea. "WHAT?!?!?" Pamela shouted angrily. She then turned her attention to Charles, who was standing there, perplexed. "Charles!! You were at the dungeon earlier. You said you saw your team in their cells. Is that true?!?" Pamela asked authoritatively. "Absolutely, Lady Boss. I personally locked up the dungeon after making sure that loser Derek was in his cell." replied Charles. "He's lying, Lady Boss. Charles must still be working with his friends. Somehow, they managed to get their suits from the lab and escape from this place." Gerard said accusingly, pointing at Charles at the same time. "Hold on there, Gerard. Up until just now, when Lady Boss showed me her lab, I did not even know that existed." Charles defended hims

Chapter: Chapter 25"Who knew that the wannabe Don Charles Smith and that idiot Derek Quinton would lower their standards to appoint you as chairman." mocked Don Krauser. "Don Krauser, with him as a bargaining chip, it's not only QS Holdings; for all we know, maybe even the whole of Quinton Consortium in Townsville could be under your control." suggested Nikolai. "That may be true, Nikolai. I'll call that wannabe mafia wimp now." replied Don Krauser. "Are you sure you want to do that?" asked Oliver, still with his hands in the air, keeping an aura of calm and confidence. "Nikolai, is it a bit noisy here in the forest?" asked Don Krauser. Nikolai then walked towards Oliver and punched him in the stomach, sending him reeling on the ground. "You had better shut the hell up before I carve you into pieces and feed your to my dogs." warned Nikolai. "*Cough* *cough*, do you think you can do that, Nikolai? After all, I'm a bargaining chip for your Don. That is, if he can even use me." warned Oliver

Chapter: Chapter 24"What are you looking at?!?" Herman's voice snapped Oliver out of his thoughts as he continued driving. "Relax, Herman. I was just checking the traffic on my mirrors." Oliver replied nonchalantly."Well, stop daydreaming. Make a left turn up ahead." barked Herman. Upon turning, Oliver noticed that he was driving into a dark forest. "Guys. This is bad. Oliver is driving into the forest." reported Irin. "It sure is. The GPS of the car is weakening. So is Oliver's GPS on his phone." added Ivy."Mitchell, Tanya, continue driving past Oliver. Don't give Herman any hint of suspicion." said Lorraine. "Understood. We'll turn back around the first chance we get." replied Mitchell.It was a shrewd move on Lorraine's part. Herman was looking at the rear view mirror when Mitchell and Tanya drove their cars past Oliver's. So, he assumed that he was not being followed."Mitchell, Tanya, this is Nathan; when you turn back around, block the entrance to the forest and call your local police.""Will

Chapter: Chapter 23"Where's the owner, Irin Oswald?!? Show yourself!!" shouted Herman. "I'm here." replied Irin as she stepped out from her office. Still pointing his pistol at Oliver, Herman turned his attention to Irin. By that time, he and Oliver were standing next to the BMW Z4 originally meant for Sharon. "Irin, you had better cooperate if you want to see this piece of trash again. Take the keys to the BMW, MY BMW; and pass it to Oliver. No tricks!" instructed Herman. Oliver noticed that Irin was not willing to listen to Herman. So, he nodded at Irin to reassure her. "Listen to him, Irin. Everything will be fine. I promise." said Oliver. Reluctantly, Irin went back into her office. A minute later, she re-emerged with the key and passed it to Oliver, as instructed by Herman. Herman then released his grip on Oliver; but still kept his pistol pointed at him. "Now, you, trash loser. You don't deserve to be called chairman. Get in the car with me. No funny business." warned Herman. When Herman ad

Chapter: Chapter 22Herman's face grew red with anger when he heard that QS Holdings's new chairman declared he was not OneMedia's top brass. In his anger, he balled up his fist, slammed it on the table and stood up to confront Lorraine, causing the whole team, except Oliver to stand as well."Since when did QS Holdings have a new chairman? Who is this coward who does not have the guts to face me? What does he know about the hard work I've put into this damn company?" Herman asked, enraged."Hard work? You mean hardly any work, you thief!" exclaimed Sharon. "Take it easy, Sharon." Tanya said to Sharon while placing her hand on Sharon's hand."Yuriko, let's show Mr. Schwarzer here the fruits of his so-called labour." said Lorraine. Yuriko nodded and then showed the slideshow for all to see, including Herman.One by one, the slides showed Herman's continuous siphoning of OneMedia's funds to Don Krauser Del Toro, as well as his lack of effort to pay all the staff at OneMedia."So, this is the hard work that

Chapter: Chapter 21It was back to Metro Motors for Oliver and his team. Within thirty minutes, all five new cars were parked at the VIP carpark lots provided by Irin. When Oliver and his team exited their cars and walked to the entrance, they noticed Irin already standing at the door, waiting to greet them. "Good morning, Ms. Lorraine and team. Welcome back." greeted Irin. "Good morning to you too, Irin. Is Sharon on her way with her boss?" asked Lorraine. "She is making the necessary transport arrangements. They should be arriving within the hour." replied Irin. "Good. That gives us an hour to make our own preparations." said Oliver. "Let's get going, then." said Mitchell. All of them then entered the VIP lounge and unloaded the necessary equipment and papers. "Tanya, is the necessary paperwork ready?" asked Lorraine. "The documents are prepared and here on the table." replied Tanya. "I have the screenshots of all the fraudulent transactions compiled into a slideshow." reported Yuriko. "On my

Just then, Charles received a notification on his phone."Brother Derek, I just received a text from Oliver. He's making his way to the airport." reported Charles. "Understood. We will wait for him to arrive." replied Derek.Thirty minutes later, a brand new Mercedes C-Class pulled up about fifty feet from the jet.When the door opened, out walked Oliver, much to the surprise of Mrs. Theresa. "Oliver, where did you get this expensive car?" she asked Oliver."Care to guess, Mrs. Theresa?" replied Oliver, glancing towards Derek and Charles.Mrs. Theresa turned her attention to Derek and Charles, who could only shrug their shoulders. "We have set him up financially. It's the least we could do." said Derek."It's too much, Young Master Derek. You might spoil him." said Mrs. Theresa."Haha, rest assured, Mrs. Theresa, Oliver is a smart man. He has assured us he will grow
