Angeline’s jaw dropped at the words that came out of Delta’s mouth. The wife was even very nonchalant as if it was normal for her—a supposed sheltered wife—to have her own private squad to move in the shadows. The agent couldn’t even believe that this weak and push-over wife would say such a thing.
She also heard Delta call her a mistress. How presumptuous.
“So, it is you.” Someone else spoke, and Delta looked up to find the third person in the room. The person seemed to have walked out from the corner hidden by Angeline’s full bosom.
She then placed a few small devices on the table. Those were the bugs Delta planted in the CEO’s office. “I hope your group didn’t make use of anything else from the Colton Group.”
“Delta.” Wolfram greeted her by the main lobby and took over as he walked her.He was in a black shirt that almost hugged his shapely body. He was also huffing with a towel hanging from his neck. He seemed to be just taking a break from their extensive training. His cargo pants also looked like it was taking a beating.Delta grew a little curious. After all, Wolfram looked concerned and impatient. This adult child seemed worried as if a child that knew his parents were closing in on his crime. “Did something happen? Why are you like that?”“Huh? Nothing. I just… I…” Wolfram stopped and leaned on a wall. He covered his mouth with the back of his hand. “I just ran from the other side of the outpost. We’ve been training almost nonstop.”
In the House of Ra Server…Akhenaten: I haven’t seen Sobek since last night… or Cleopatra… or Bastet… or Anubis…Akhenaten: If any of you are here, please move the glass and let me know…Sekhmet: They haven’t been around for a while. Just when I’m on vacation…Akhenaten: You got suspended? Why?Sekhmet: I said vacationAkhenaten: Misdemeanor? Tch, tch.Sekhmet: What the shit?Imhotep: Are you missing Sobek too much? You’re becoming evil @AkhenatenAkhenaten: It fee
Delta glanced at the man. “Sorry, the Marcille Faction belongs to the Colton Group, and people expect to see a Colton son running it. If Wolfram gets back, the most he’s going to do is show up. I’m still taking over… at least until the end of the year. If we fail to get my desired score, I have to leave.” “I’m so sure Mr. Colton Senior will give you a chance to stay, Mrs. Colton. You are handling the company so nicely.” The deputy wanted her to be instated as the real CEO; alas, she was not Colton by blood. It was always that ghost haunting the CEO’s office. Then again, none of them heard stories of how Wolfram wanted to take back power from his wife. There were even rumors that Wolfram was lounging in his office, while Delta attended to the work of the CEO. No matter; as long as the company was running like one of the famed factions of the Colton Group…
Delta still received the chicken-scented business card. She looked over and saw the name of the CEO in front of her. It was Finlay Baker, and the name seemed to be rather familiar. This guy owned small shopping malls to fit the smaller business districts in the city. Ah, yes… This man owned the market where she used to sell her oranges. She didn’t say anything anymore and kept the card. She decided to give this man a good chance after running some background checks. After all, it was because of his wonderful fee system that she managed to sell her oranges without worrying about her spot in the market. Along the way to the private room, Delta started texting her friends to run more checks about the two CEOs that she secretly took photos of. She needed to make sure they were good acquaintances.
In the House of Ra server… Cleopatra: How do I send credits again? [Cleopatra sent 9999 credit/s to Sobek!] Akhenaten: WHAT?!?! Sekhmet: You just returned to shower the crocodile with some ka-ching?! [Cleopatra sent 1000 credit/s to Akhenaten!] [Cleopatra sent 1000 credit/s to Sekhmet!] [Akhenaten sent 999 credit/s to Cleopatra!] Sobek: HOLY— WHYYYYY Akhenaten: What did you doooooo? Cleopatra: It’s personal. I just have no other ways to send money to Sobek.
“All right.” That was all Delta said. After all, Wolfram dropped the call before she could even answer. She just pocketed her phone and took the phone on top of her desk. Picking it up, she dialed a few numbers to disseminate her own orders. She spoke in a serious tone, “Babi, prepare for a fire contingency and extraction now.” … The news of the Hermia faction building burning down after a few explosions on its foundations terrified a lot of people in the city. One of the most secured buildings just shot up in flames and black smoke just a few minutes before the workday was over. Everyone almost clogged the lobbies and the staircases, causing a stampede and blockages in different places in the building. Hermia was the oldest faction among the four, and the one that D
He asked with a soft voice, “You’re really going up there with just them? The SWAT Team they sent is still climbing. Let’s wait till they get in position first.” Delta shook her head. “Let’s continue walking. If we don’t hurry, they will begin killing people. I’m not going to be liable for a death I could have stopped.” “Aren’t you Wolfram Colton?” A detective continued with them. They crossed the burning place without fear because Wolfram brought better masks to keep them from breathing smoke. “I’m surprised you guys allowed a civilian to climb a burning building. Did your superiors tell you to stand down and go with the situation?” Wolfram glanced at the detectives as he walked with his wife. “Those guys upstairs are international criminals, after all. They probably wanted to catch those guys more than save the
The resolution of the problem was too weird for that detective, but he saw how Delta and Wolfram seemed to have handled the matter quite well. Since they couldn’t be seen together, the Red Core had left, while the SWAT Team held onto the saboteurs. When they got out, the fire department continued putting out the fire. Delta looked up at the burning building with a little squint because of the brightness of the flames. Before she could look away, they all saw how white smoke exploded on the top floor. The firefighters were spooked by it, more when another spread through the sixth floor. The other floors were also cleansed by white smoke, effectively putting off the flames in an instant. “That thing is dangerous!” The lead firefighter growled. From the residue that dropped on the ground through the windows, he figured those were concentrated chemicals that made
