The 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

"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

The 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

With 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

"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

"Are you trying to call me, bitch?" Nikita asked Karen harshly as her phone continued to ring from Karen's attempted call.Seeing the fear that struck Karen, Nikita had enough and hung up her phone, rejecting Karen's call. "I can't believe it... that's actually Ms. Nikita." Karen mumbled in bewilderment. "I actually called her an actress." Aliyah mumbled in fear.'This is very bad. Mr. Knox is standing in front of me. That means it's really Ms. Henderson and Mr. Rex standing with them.' thought Fred in mortal fear.Jerome, still nursing his groin, looked at Oliver in a different light. What power and influence did a loser like Oliver have over the most feared group of underground mob bosses? To the point they would show respect to him?"So, do you idiots still think we are imposters?" asked Latisha. "You lot have some nerve to offend Mr. Reed and his friend." said Jonas menacingly."If Mr. Reed wants to, he can file lawsuits against all of you... and I will gladly represent him for f

"Ms. Nikita, Mr. Rex, Ms. Henderson, Mr. Knox. What are you doing here???"Stunned expressions were on the faces of Karen, Jerome, Aliyah, Macy and Fred as they saw their bosses walk towards them."Who's suing who, Fred?" asked Ethan sternly as the four Krauser Kartel members closed in on the scene. "Chef Victor, rest assured, no one is getting sued. Especially not you." Ethan assured Chef Victor."We'll take over from here, Chef. Have a good service." said Nikita. Chef Victor nodded and headed back to the kitchen.Karen and Fred were surprised when they heard their bosses' orders. They could not accept that Chef Victor would walk away scot-free."Ms. Nikita, Mr. Knox, you were not here earlier. That fraudulent chef cheated us with over a million dollars." Karen pleaded her case."Is that right?" asked Latisha, her eyebrows slightly raised. "Yes, Ms. Henderson." replied Jerome vehemently. Fred then took the bill Karen paid for and showed it to the Krauser Kartel."As you can see, Mr.

"What the...?" Karen's face went pale white as she looked at the bill. Macy, Jerome, Fred and Aliyah saw the expression on her face and became concerned."What's wrong, Karen? I thought you are able to foot the bill." said Oliver with a smirk. Veron whispered to him, "How much is the bill, Oliver?""I'm not sure, Veron; but all I know is... Karen said she would foot the bill for all of us. So, whatever the amount is... it should be nothing to her." replied Oliver."Shut up, loser! Karen is the richest among all of us. Of course she can afford the bill. Right, Karen?" snapped Jerome."SHUT UP! ALL OF YOU!!" screamed Karen, her thoughts racing in her head.'How? It's just a steakhouse dinner. How can the bill be... 1.5 million dollars?!?!?' Things were not making sense for Karen.Nonetheless, she recomposed herself and called for the waiter. "Mr. waiter, please check the bill again. I am very certain there is a printing error on the bill." she requested."Miss, there is nothing wrong wi

"Looks like the haters are here, Veron." said Oliver with a hint of annoyance and sarcasm. Oliver turned around to see who Veron invited to the group dinner."Just as I thought... It's you, Karen Edgar. It's been yeas and you are still on my case." said Oliver."Broke, exiled, trash losers like you do not have the right to even breathe, let alone be here at such a prestigious hotel like this." snapped Karen as she walked towards Oliver.Joining Karen were the rest of the group: Jerome Kensworth, Macy Lang, Aliyah Nasser and Fred Vogt."Look at the way you dress, you loser. How dare you come here dressed in cheap jeans, t-shirt and denim jacket. Where did you buy them from? A discount store near our orphanage?" mocked Karen."Haha, nice one, Karen. For all we know, he probably got it FROM the orphanage." teased Aliyah and the group laughed along.Oliver glanced towards Veron and saw he was getting red with embarrassment. He knew he had to find a way to defend Veron."Wooo... someone is

Barry and Sharon were already standing outside Oliver's bungalow when they saw Oliver's Bugatti Mistral pull up towards the bungalow. When Barry saw the Bugatti, his eyes bulged open wide. The Bugatti looked familiar to him. When the driver's window wind down, Barry saw Oliver was in the driver's seat. "Mr. Reed... is this car yours?!?" asked Sharon in shock. "Yeap, this was my housewarming gift from Team Reed. Do you like it?" said Oliver. "We do, in fact, I think I saw your car pull up at Quinton Hotel MC a few days ago. Margaret and I walked past it; but we didn't think it was yours." replied Barry. "Oh, really? Well, now you know it's mine. So, it's fine with me. Let's head inside. We have matters to discuss." said Oliver heartily. Once they were in settled down in the living room, Oliver called for Don Krauser to join them. Fortunately for them, Don Krauser was at the Blue Diamond Villa, so he joined them within five minutes. "So, Barry, go through with us how Lacy's lackey

"What's wrong, Oliver?" Corey rushed out of her office to respond to Oliver. She saw Oliver standing in front of the cashier, staring at the row of small rocks at the background. "Did you break anything?!?" asked Corey suspiciously. "No, I didn't. I called you because I wanted to ask you about those rocks. They don't have a price tag on them." replied Oliver, pointing at the rocks. Corey saw what Oliver meant and answered him calmly, "Oh, those rocks? Yeah, they are not for sale... at least in the shop anyway." "You see, there is an antique auction taking place tomorrow. We intend to sell them off at tomorrow's auction. Many antiques and artifacts will be up for auction, including those rocks." "Do you know what these rocks are?" asked Oliver. "From what Julian has told me, they are ordinary jade rocks. The best price Julian estimated that we could sell them for is about a hundred thousand dollars." replied Corey. Oliver could not help but smirk when he heard Corey's answer. He
