As the president arrived at the mall, Hideous approached him with a respectful nod. The crowd inside the mall had finally subsided, and a somber atmosphere hung in the air."Mr. President," Hideous greeted, his voice calm but filled with concern. "I'm glad you're here."When the President received the news about his wife and daughter being in danger, after he received a call from Hideous telling him about it and giving him a little information, his heart felt like it was about to jump out of his chest. The president's expression was grave and worried as he returned the greeting. "Hideous," he said, his voice tense with worry. This is his wife and daughter they are talking about, after all. He nodded his head as the two of them walked side by side. "What's the latest information? Have they found anything?" he added, wanting to know everything from his trusted senator's voice.Hideous shook his head solemnly. "I'm afraid not, Mr. President," he replied, his tone reflecting the gravity
As the car slowed to a stop outside their home, Hideous turned to face his sons, who were both wearing identical expressions of frustration. He smirked at them and really felt satisfied to see his sons have this kind of expression. Of course, it will only be visible when they are talking about their youngest, Sherly."Dad, it's not fair," Keisley protested, his brow furrowed in annoyance. He violently banged his back on the chair as he said, "Why do you get to meet Sherly without us?"Kyle joined in, echoing his brother's sentiments. "Yeah, what makes you so special?" His words were serious and cold, but there's still a hint of jealousy in them.Seeing them being like this, Hideous couldn't help but chuckle at their complaints. A playful glint in his eyes appeared. "Well, boys," he began, his tone teasing, "it's because I'm clearly the most important person in Sherly's life."How long has it been since they talked like this? The last time they had this kind of atmosphere was before th
Hideous did not speak, but he opened it, scanning the contents with a mixture of disbelief and grim satisfaction.He stared at his daughter. He never would have thought that he could have this evidence in his hand. He thought they would continue to fight to the death. "Good work, Sherly," he said, his voice filled with pride. "This is exactly what we need."Sherly nodded, a determined glint in her eyes as she met her father's gaze. She then sat down in front of the chair where her father was sitting. "We have to act fast," she said, her voice urgent. "Before Joseph has a chance to strike again,"Hideous nodded in agreement, his mind already racing with plans and strategies."We will," he said firmly. "Together."As Hideous settled into the chair across from Sherly's desk, he couldn't help but bring up the matter that had been on his mind since their encounter. He really is happy to see his daughter safe and sound."Sherly," he began, a playful glint in his eyes. He gave out a playful
"Head straight to the president's house," he instructed firmly, his voice brooking no argument. He needed to bring this information to the president, his friend. After all, the incident in the mall has fully detailed information about it.The driver, a seasoned professional who understood the heavy air of the situation surrounding Hideous, nodded in silent acknowledgment. Without a word, he maneuvered the vehicle out into the bustling streets, navigating the traffic with practiced ease. He thought that he was in that place to meet the young Miss, but he guesses he did not only meet her.As the car sped along, Hideous couldn't shake the sense of urgency that gripped him. He knew that the safety of the president's family was paramount, and he needed to ensure that they were protected at all costs. With each passing moment, his determination only grew stronger, driving him forward with a singular focus on the task at hand.The sleek black car rolled to a stop in front of the imposing gat
Meanwhile, after Sherly's father left, everyone talked about what to eat for lunch. In the end, they wanted to eat something different from what they eat. Sherly ordered food for the rest of her people before she, Maria, Kim, and Alex went out to have lunch by themselves.As Sherly and her three trusted aides, Maria, Kim, and Alex, entered the bustling restaurant, they scanned the room for an available private space. They wanted to have something more private, so they're trying to find a place where there's a room partition. Then, in the middle of their conversation, not far from where they were, Sherly's sharp eyes caught sight of a familiar face in the middle of the crowd.Sherly knew that he saw her, and all he could give him was a subtle nod in acknowledgment. Well, as she was thinking before, she felt that she became a little immature as she did not listen to his explanation. But Sherly really had no heart to do that before. And now, she is hiding because she doesn't want him to
"Boss."Sherly raised her head and met Kim's eyes. "Hmm?""There's someone lurking outside. I don't know who it was, but I think I saw that person once with you."Sherly raised her eyebrow and took the tablet from Kim's hand. Indeed, she saw a familiar face. Sherly sighed. She gave the tablet back to Kim and said, "Don't worry, I'll deal with this. You guys don't need to be alarmists as he is harmless and on our side."Kim did not ask about it, as he nodded his head and left. Well, he is indeed not harmless because they aren't his target. Besides, he has always been by George's side. Sherly stepped out of the building, her eyes narrowing in curiosity as she spotted Lary fumbling around near their office. Sensing something amiss, she approached cautiously, her senses on high alert."Lary?" Sherly called out, her voice cutting through the air and causing Lary to startle, nearly dropping whatever he was holding.He's been like this for a while, so Sherly knew why he was startled. Howeve
When the night fell, Sherly was alone in her bedroom. She stared at the crying as her eyes continued to cry. Sherly then took her phone, her fingers trembling as she dialed Solace's number. After a few rings, her friend answered, and Sherly wasted no time in pouring out her regrets.She really wanted someone to talk to right now. If she can't talk to her best friend right now, she really doesn't know what will happen to her. Her mind's full of thoughts that she can't sort out."Hello?""Sol." Sherly's voice quivered with emotion."Hmm? Sherly, what's wrong? Did something happen to you?" Solace asked with worries in her voice. "I feel so stupid, Sol." She sobbed and added, "I feel so stupid for not listening to George's explanation. I should have called him and talked it out; I should have listened to him as he coaxed me, as he made things better for us, but I let everything spiral out of control instead. And now, I've stopped contacting him altogether."Solace listened intently, her
In the dimly lit corners of the underground market, a lot of people decided to go there and talk to others to get the information they needed. In the middle of the hushed murmurs and secret exchanges, whispers of the Information Center's appeared again, sparking a mix of curiosity and speculation among the gathered individuals. When the information center disappeared, everyone went mad. Especially the mafia bosses, since they're particularly the people who could meet someone from the center. Not only that, some of the mafia from the other country also sought information and asked for an explanation when they learned that the information center had disappeared. However, now the information center is starting to move. As they huddled together in small groups, their voices barely above a whisper, rumors began to circulate, each more intriguing than the last.At one shadowy corner, a group of hooded figures discussed the latest hearsay with hushed urgency. It was as if they were part of t
