Kenny typed a message to one of his closest friends who worked in the ministry of foreign affairs and asked him to find all the information about Natasha Sean, where she was going and the country she was relocating to. He knew that with his friend involved, he would get all the information he wanted with a lot of ease.In the car, Kenny took out his phone and dialed Zeres' number.'Buddy, at our usual place," Kenny said a few words. He was a man of few words and he always talked directly to the point without beating around the bush.At the other end of the call, Zeres' seemed to clearly understand that Kenny wanted them to meet up at their usual place.Zeres' shrugged, then asked," At what time? ""Now," Kenny did not wait for him to finish speaking. He spat one word.Zeres' could not stop talking," Got any updates?" he asked."Too many questions," Kenny said, then ended the call.At the driver's seat, the anxious Kata had now calmed down. His lips curled into a smile when he heard how
Zeres arrived at the agreed place ,the grand mansion, a little earlier than his friend Kenny. He knew that Kenny despised waiting for anyone. Kenny was a very impatient man, especially when it came to situations where he had something important to talk about.It was a warm summer evening, and the sun was beginning to set, casting a golden glow upon the luxurious mansion.. Zeres glanced at his watch and realized he had arrived quite early, a feat he usually struggled to achieve. He gave a sigh of relief. He could clearly recall a while back when he and Kenny were to meet up for a chat about something important. Unfortunately for him, he chose the wrong route and he was caught in traffic. Kenny kept calling him and when he arrived an hour later,Kenny was so mad that he told him to go back to where he came from. He even went ahead to take back the black Maybach that he had gifted Zeres on his birthday. He later returned the car to him after he promised that he wouldn't be late for their
Kenny rested his body at the back of the seat and took a piece of paper from his trouser pocket and handed it to Zeres. Zeres was confused, not understanding what Kenny was trying to do."What is this?" Zeres' asked without taking the paper from Kenny's hand.Kenny smiled," Just take a look at it."Zeres' took the piece of paper and looked at it. " Its blank, there is nothing on it," Zeres spoke, still very confused."What do you mean?" Kenny said as he stood up to go next to Zeres. He looked at the paper but he couldn't see anything.He was astonished too," It had a word of a certain location written on it,' Kenny said."Are you sure? Where did you get the paper?" Zeres' was curious."I picked it up at Sticker's mansion," Kenny replied."When was that and did you go there?" Zeres' asked."Today, I just went to have a glance at her, she left.""I know she left, but I didn't think you would go there. What if they are keeping tabs on you?" Zeres asked."I acted like a low key buddy, and
Zeres could still clearly recall how he was almost killed at the Summer Palace. The place was a base for a very dangerous and killer organization. What he experienced in that place wasn't something that he would want his friend to go through. Those people had deadly poisons which they had made by themselves,and he knew it wasn't an easy task to come up with the antidote for the poison. If it were not for Kenny saving him that time, he would already have died from the poison.Zeres stood before Kenny, his face etched with concern. He needed to make Kenny understand the danger that awaited him at the Summer Palace, if he was planning to go there.He knew that Kenny was a very hard person when it came to changing his mind about something that he was determined to do. Having faced a near-death experience during his own mission there, Zeres knew all too well the perils that lurked within its ancient walls.At this time, Kenny was still seated in his position, with determination in his face,
Zeres and Kenny sat on the sofa close to each other, their voices hushed as they discussed their plans for the upcoming mission to the summer palace. The scent of the wine in the glasses wafted through the air, creating a cozy atmosphere for their conversation. The sunlight streamed in through the large windows, casting a warm glow on their faces.Zeres leaned in, excitement gleaming in his eyes. "Kenny, I've been thinking about our approach to infiltrating the summer palace. We need to gather as much information as possible before we make our move."Kenny nodded, his brow furrowed in deep concentration. "I agree, Zeres. We can't afford any mistakes. Our mission's success depends on our careful planning and execution."Just as they were about to delve into the specifics, Kenny's phone rang, jolting both of them out of their discussion. Kenny wanted to expect some calm at that moment.The always curious Zeres glanced at the device and then looked at Kenny. "Who's calling?" He had alread
Kenny looked at Sophia feeling disgusted, but of course he couldn't show it in his face. He treasured his things a lot. Why should they take his things without his permission?Sophia came towards him, and she was about to hug him. Kenny escaped from her,"I'll use the washroom."He hurriedly walked towards the front balcony of his house. He needed to calm down because he was mad.Kenny's mother looked at Sophia with a smile on her face," Don't bother, maybe he is just tired. Come, let's finish preparing dinner."Sophia nodded her head and walked behind Kenny's mum towards the kitchen.As the two continued preparing the food, Kenny's mind was occupied with a lot of things. His war journey had just started and he didn't want to waste any more time. Kenny decided to pick up his computer from studies and work on something rather than waste time.When he passed along the corridor he could hear his mother's voice. She was on call. He quickly turned the recorder button on his phone. Her mothe
Kenny knew he had to hurry, he had to talk to Zeres and decide on the appropriate thing to do. Knowing that his mother was part of the trap wasn't supposed to prevent them from giving it a try. Who knows? Maybe they will find the antidote. He wasn't sure if the antidote to the poison was at the Summer Palace. He wasn't sure what was awaiting him there,but he needed to try. Natasha's life was at stake and he couldn't take anything lightly.With the bag of food in his hand, he dashed out of the house and hopped into his car, ready to speed his way to the office. He glanced at the clock on the dashboard—it was already 9 pm. He knew he was tired from pacing up and down, he needed some rest, but it wasn't the right time to rest. Everything needed him, the office,the mission and he could waste even a single second.As he pulled into the office parking lot, Kenny noticed the usual environment at that time. This wasn't the first time he had been going to the office at odd hours.. The entire bu
Once Kata left the office, Kenny sat back and was deep in thought of what to do next. He decided to give a call to Zeres and see if he had any idea of what they could do next. He picked up his phone but he could feel something was off. Kenny's senses heightened, and he felt a strange presence lingering in the room. A subtle unease settled within him, causing the hairs on the back of his neck to stand on end. He couldn't shake off the feeling that someone else was there with him. Kenny had never assumed his senses, and he had always been alert. He knew how cruel the world was and he could stay calmly at any given time.Suddenly, he heard a gentle tap on his shoulder, and his heart skipped a beat. Instantly, he spun around, his body tensed with readiness, and swiftly clasped the hand of the person behind him. His eyes widened with surprise and caution as he examined the face before him. The person behind Kenny burst into laughter, a familiar sound that reassured him. With a mix of curi
He quickly stood up in confusing and continued scrolling through the document. What had he done? He had just done something unexpected to such a big and dangerous man. What kind of fate was awaiting for him?He tried to calm himself down then slowly went to the room that Kenny was.This time round, Kenny could read him and he could tell that there was something off with him."Are you okey, boy?" Kenny asked.He wanted to run away, he was feeling overwhelmed with Kenny's presence," Who are you?" he asked his voice shaking."What do you mean?" Kenny felt a bit confused by his question.In the next second,the guy went down on his knees and begged Kenny," am sorry Boss,I didn't know it's you,if I knew it, I wouldn't have involved myself with this.""What is going on? Are you confusing me with someone else? Am not your boss, boy," Kenny spoke.The guy moved next to Kenny,held his hand and pushed the shirt sleeves and the tiger logo on Kenny's arm was exposed," You are Lord Asura,my boss."
‘’Can you do me a favor?” Kenny asked the guy.The guy threw a glance at Kenny, ’Am not going to free you, after all, you can’t escape from this place,” He responded.Kenny smiled and then went back to his seat. It was already sixty hours from the time he received the antidote. He only had less than twelve hours to make sure that the antidote reached Natasha. He couldn’t wait to waste any, more time.Kenny had realized that the guy wasn’t a bad guy and he could use him to deliver the message to Zeres as soon as possible.‘’Can I send you somewhere?’’ Kenny asked.“Kenny, I have been assigned the task of watching over you and I can’t leave this place.”’Kenny nodded his head the continued, ‘’Okay then, can I use your phone?””‘’You want to ask for help? Donor waste your time coz no one can reach this part of the ocean,” the guy answered.‘’Just give me your phone, there is an urgent message I want to pass to someone.”After a few minutes’ hesitation, the guy took a small button mobile
In a place far away from the city, Kenny could feel his head was heavy as if he had drunk a lot the previous day. He could feel that the environment around him was a bit off. He slowly opened his eyes and the unfamiliar environment caught his eyes.He was in a house that he had never visited. He tried recalling what happened and he found himself in that place.The previous day, he had injected himself with that antidote and his body became heavy, then he fell down. He couldn't recall anything else after that.He was at Zeres' place. How did he arrive in that unfamiliar environment?He tried to sit up only to realize that his legs and arms were tied with a rope. At that moment,only one thing ran through his mind; he was kidnapped.But one thing he couldn't understand was how that person knew about his whereabouts the previous day. How did they find out about that mansion? How did they enter that mansion given the fact that Zeres was a very light sleeper?Looking around, there was no on
After finishing his speech, the old master left the stage. Many reporters rushed towards him to enquire how he came back to the city and if he was going to stay there. To their surprise, they couldn’t get closer to him since men in black suits who appeared to be the old man’s personal bodyguards could not allow them to go any closer.The bodyguards led the old master towards his car which was parked outside, helped him into the car, and drove away.The young lady who was previously demanding answers rushed towards Sophia whose face was covered.Sophia didn’t want to get exposed so she pulled her into the washroom at the far end of the room.‘’What do you want to do? Do you want those people to recognize me? “she asked anger was evident on her face.The young lady cried as she held tightly onto Sophia’s hand, ’Sophia, I don’t want to go to prison, you need to help me.”‘’Martha, no one is going to prison, am sure the old man will forgive you,” Sophia convinced her.‘’How are they going
At that time, a middle-aged lady walked towards the stage and asked for attention. Kata who stood next to her felt that the lady was up to something which wasn’t good.‘’Can I speak please?” she asked and before Kata could allow her to talk she had already grabbed the microphone from one of the reporter’s hands and started speaking.‘’Mr. Kata, I don’t see the reason why you should lie to the media and other people.’’Kata was confused, who was that girl and what did she want to do?’’Kata stepped forward, he wanted to prevent her from talking,’’ Young lady, who are you and what do you want here? ’he asked.The lady cleared her throat then continued talking, ’It dent matter who I am, the most important thing here is for you to tell the media and the netizens the truth about the president of Dawson International company.“What truth? What do you mean? “the reports talked among themselves.‘’Kata, why don’t you tell them the truth? Why don’t you tell them that the President of Dawson In
Zeres had only slept for a short time when he was awoken up by the ringing of his phone. He sat on his bed and when he looked outside, he realized that the day was already so bright.He wondered who was calling him that early morning since he hadn’t given his number to many and the only person who could call him from time to time was Kenny.To his surprise, it was Zeres assistant Kata who was calling him, Kenny had once used hi phone to talk to Kat when his phone was out of battery.“Hello, good morning Sir? Is this you?” Zeres heard Kata’s voice from the other end of the call.‘’Sorry, who are you looking for? maybe you mistook my number for his,’’ Zeres quickly responded.He couldn’t reveal that he knew Kenny and his whereabouts to anyone so he had to pretend not to know him.‘’Sorry boss, maybe I got the wrong number,” Kata said then ended the call.Zeres remembered that he hadn’t heard Kenny’s phone ringing since the previous day. The phone was in the living room, on the table whe
Inside the lab room, Zeres opened the bottommost drawer as instructed by Kenny. He searched but he couldn’t see any stopwatch. He removed the papers that were inside that drawer but still, he didn’t see it.‘’Maybe he forgot the drawer where he placed his stopwatch,’’ Zeres whispered as he opened other drawers to check, but all these were in vain.‘’Kenny, Kenny…where did you leave the stopwatch, I can’t see it in the bottom drawer,” he shouted.He continued searching in the room but he still couldn’t see it. ’’Kenny, I can’t see it.” He said again.The lab room wasn’t far away from the sitting room so it was obvious that Kenny could hear Zeres’ words, but why was he not responding to him?Could it be that Kenny…?” He tricked me,” Zeres said as he rushed back into the sitting room.The first thing that he saw was Kenny’s body lying on the floor motionlessly.‘’F*ck,’’Zeres cursed.On the floor, the syringe was lying there and there were some traces of blood on it. When he looked at th
Kenny's heart raced fastens he rode the bike through the familiar streets of the city, the plastic bag clutched tightly in his pocket. He had to see Zeres as soon as possible since he was the only one that he trusted with him most confidential information and actions.He had to explain what had just happened at his own wedding reception. He knew that he had left behind a bewildered bride and confused guests. He wanted to get help from Zeres to see what he was going to do next with the antidote.As he approached Zeres' house, he slowed down and parked the bike by the garden gate. Zeres was in the garden, bending over and working on various herbs, roots, and glass containers. The air was filled with the earthy aroma of plants and the faint smell of chemicals.Kenny cleared his throat, causing Zeres to straighten up with a start. Zeres' dark eyes widened in surprise as he saw Kenny standing there, urgency playing across his face."Kenny?" Zeres exclaimed, his voice a mixture of disbelie
The wedding place was in chaos. Mother Kenny stood at the gate as Kenny’s figure disappeared from her sight.‘’Mum, what happened? Where is Kenny? Where did he go? I want him back….” Sophia who had followed Kenny’s mother outside tagged at the edge of Kenny’s mother’s dress with tears in her eyes.Mother Kenny whose heart was beating faster didn’t even know to tell Sophia who continued holding her dress demanding answers to questions that Kenny’s mother didn’t know.“Sophia dear, I don’t even know what is happen to him, he just looked at his phone and then ran away from the altar, you saw by yourself that he didn’t communicate with anyone before leaving the altar,” Mother Kenny talked with urgency in her voice.Sophia took Mother Kenny’s from her hand and quickly called Kenny’s number. The call was going through but Kenny didn’t pick it up. Where could he have rushed to? Why did he do that during her special day?Sophia could not understand everything and she didn’t know how she could
