Chapter Three Hundred And ThirtyMr Black had been glaring at Liam, ignoring Paul's words. His narrowed eyes glinted with murderous rage and his chest heaved slightly up and down."Hey, you heard what I said?" Paul asked once more, waving his hand in front of Mr Black's face, "Come on man, this doesn't have to end like this. Just name your price."Mr Black finally dragged his eyes away from Liam and fixed them on Paul.With a tilt of his head to the left, he said, "Come on into my office then." His cold gaze rested on Liam once more, "Without this fool."The men who had been moving towards the direction indicated by Mr Black stopped, then glanced back at Liam.Liam had stiffened, then he gritted his teeth at Mr Black but not a word escaped him.Paul took his silence for his consent, so he patted him by the hand, "We'll be right back," he said, then glanced at the bartender who had been watching them as he carried on with his cleaning of his glasses, "You can also try to get your money
Chapter Three Hundred And Twenty-NineThe bartender picked up a small glass cup from a set on the bar.Taking a small cloth from off his shoulder, he set out to deliberately clean the glass, all the while his eyes on Paul, not on the photograph.Paul arched an eyebrow at him, his expression hardening at the bartender's behavior.Liam knocked on the bar, "Hey man, help us out here, will you?" He said, his voice tinged with impatience , "Its not like we are asking you to do it for free now, are we?"The bartender did not reply, nor did he look at the photograph but instead, continued to give them all a level look.Liam was livid, "Cmon Paul, he's of no use." He said through gritted teeth, "Let's find someone else."The Regional Head stepped forward, pulling out his wallet and quickly drew out couple of bills, slapping them unto the bar and pushing it forward to meet the bartender.The bartender stopped, his eyes immediately fixed on the dollar bills."You just need to look at the pictu
Chapter Three Hundred And Twenty-Eight"Alright!" Sandy whistled, "That's what I'm talking about." He sounded gleeful, "Don't worry Lana, by this time tomorrow, I'm gonna shake Romero to the core."The call ended and Lana smiled triumphantly as she pulled the phone away from her ear.She could feel excitement coursing through her veins, now that she was done with that part of the plan.Sandy would do a good job, nonetheless.By tomorrow morning, the news would have caused some slight uproar in Romero Empire.There would be a bit of a panic and some things would be uncovered and placed in motion.Lana smirked, folding her hands over each other. She could not wait to see Director Evans reduced to nothing by this crude shock.She turned to Diego, "I'll be heading into Oakcrest tomorrow, you and I," She said, "Make sure everything is prepared for our departure.""Wait but...why are you going into Oakcrest?" Diego wondered, "Are you perhaps thinking of going to the company?" He scratched
Chapter Three Hundred And Twenty-SevenDiego looked stunned.He cocked his head to the side, a puzzled look on his face as he tried to fathom what Lana was saying."So uh..." he asked, his eyes narrowed in confusion, "How do we do that?"Lana sighed, her eyes closed in exasperation, "Just put a call to Reporter Sandy this instant," she gritted out, "I will take care of the rest myself."Diego nodded, a small smile of apology on his face as he brought out his cell phone. He scrolled through his contacts and soon found the one he was looking for.He tapped on it and watched the call go on. The reporter picked up on the second ring, almost as of he had been watching the phone and waiting for it to ring. "Sandy Orton of HBC News," the man's deep soothing voice sounded, "How can I help you?""This is Diego Martinez of Romero Empire," Diego replied, taking on a serious professional tone, "There's someone who would like to speak to you."Without waiting for a reply, he passed the phone qui
Chapter Three Hundred And Twenty-Six."Director Evans is really a big piece of crap," Diego uttered in disbelief, "Who would have thought he was so dirty?"These were the words that escaped Diego's mouth as soon as he clicked on the file he was able to get access to.He was hunched on his seat and busy scrolling through a large file, his mouth hanging open in disbelief.Lana sat by his side, leaning forward so she could see what was going on. Her eyes were narrowed and her hands were folded on her laps, clenching a fistful of her dress.Immediately, Paul and Liam left with the Regional Head, he had returned to his laptop, with Lana hovering around him.However, the contents of the file which had been sent to them was not what they had expected.Diego was right.Director Evans was really an unbelievable piece of trash.Ever since she'd had her men put tabs on the man, they had uncovered a number of crimes on him.From money laundering, to owning shell companies, creating slush funds, t
Chapter Three Hundred And Twenty-FiveLana turned to him immediately, her face all lit with excitement and relief."Really?" She said as she made rushed towards him, then stopped and looked back at the two men behind her.They had stopped immediately Diego had made that statement, and now they were also looking at Diego eagerly."What records did you get into?" Liam asked just as he made a move to walk towards Diego but Lana quickly sidestepped him."Ah ah ah," she said, wagging a well manicured finger in front of his face.She had a slight smirk on her face as she crossed her arms, her gaze mischievous, "This here concerns only me and Diego. We will take care of Romero Empire while you go ahead and get Damien back to safety." She cocked her head to the side, her smirk becoming more poignant, "That's the agreement, isn't it?"Liam was dumbfounded. He looked back at Paul, then at Lana, a faint red color tinging his cheeks."Well, if you say so," He said stiffly then straightened his s
