I pushed open the damp, dark, and smelly torture chamber door. This place was as horrible as the name I had given it. The floor was stained with the blood of dozens of cursed humans who betrayed this organization. This room was filled with torture devices. No one had ever left this place alive. I always made sure of that.“I apologize. It was my fault for not being thorough enough in monitoring each of our people. About three months ago, he sent a package to the Russian border. Hundreds of weapons that you produce exclusively for one of our clients.”“Hmm… Was he tempted by an offer from one of our rivals?”It was a cliché and happened all too often in this organization. That was why it was important for me to enforce strict discipline on everyone I worked with. There was no mercy for anyone who stole from me. Once they were caught, they were out of the picture for good.“Tighten our information security. I don’t want those bastards stealing my best work without paying a dime.”“It’s

There was a narrow winding road on the west side of the main road leading out of town. I still had no idea where Alan Robert was headed, but he was clearly trying to get away from the problem. But I was the problem, and I was going after him.Too bad I couldn’t find a high place around here, but I did find a spot with a perfect angle.I was exactly five hundred yards ahead of them. My car was parked across the middle of the road. I stood right behind my car with my favorite rifle that had never failed to kill my targets. If I had known that plan A would fail, I would have brought my new weapon with me on this trip. It would be easier to use in a situation like this than the rifle I was currently using.They came. I focused my aim on the driver. Their car started honking loudly, telling me to move aside. But I wasn't going to move aside until I managed to get rid of the people in the first car. .I fired twice quickly, and both of my bullets managed to hit the driver's head along with

When I said it was nothing, I meant it. The graze wound from the bullet was nothing compared to when I got shot near my collarbone. It was just a few inches above my liver. I was new to the organization at the time and I still had a lot to learn about the cartel and about businesses that sometimes don’t go as expected. My uncle sent me to San Diego to deliver a package. I just followed my uncle’s trusted men like a dumb buffalo. That was the night I started to realize how dangerous the path I had chosen was. Once you make a wrong move, there’s no turning back because you won’t be around to fix your mistake.I got shot in my right chest because the delivery didn't go smoothly. For some reason, my uncle's client refused to pay the agreed price. They had been waiting for us that night, and instead they prepared their best shooters to erase our tracks forever. I was the only one who managed to survive that night because I crawled under the trailer. But the horror lingered forever in my br

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"“Hi, Alberta.”I waved softly at Alberta. She had just closed the curtains in the living room and made sure every window was tightly closed.“I think I’ll sit here for a while and wait for Raviel to come home.”“Do you know what time he’ll be home?”I stared at my phone screen listlessly. He hadn't opened the message I sent him five hours ago. I doubted he even had my number saved.“Nope. He didn’t reply to my message when I asked what time he would be back.”“He’s probably busy. He’s a true workaholic.”“You’ve been working with him since my mom and I weren’t part of this house. How has he behaved all this time?”“He’s just normal. Mr. Raviel is a hard worker, although he can be a bit mysterious sometimes. He’s very nice. He still paid me even though I wasn’t working at his house at that time.”“I’m sorry, Alberta. It must have been when my mom accused you of stealing her earrings.”“I didn’t steal them. I swear to God.”“I know. Mom just forgot to put

“Have you found the book you were looking for?”“Hmm… This is the last one. I’m so lucky.”“We can look for it somewhere else if it runs out of stock here.”“This book is a bestseller. It’s almost impossible to find anywhere. I tried looking for it at another bookstore last week, and they didn’t have it anymore. This store is my last hope.”“Let me see.”Raviel looked at the cover of the book and read the blurb on the back of the book.“I know the owner of this publishing house. Just tell me what book you want, I’ll ask him to print another one for you.”“Tsk, you seem to know almost all the great people in this country, huh?” I hit his shoulder lightly.“That’s the risk if you have a business all over the world. Let’s go to the cashier and pay for your book.”“Okay. By the way, do you know about the assassination of Senator Alan Robert?”“The news is everywhere. There’s no way I don’t know.”“I mean, have you ever met him in person? He’s a nice guy. I met him after he gave a speech a
