Who's The Loser Now? Chapter 130
A second henchmen was on his way to his patrol spot when he saw his comrade on the floor near the guard post of the front entrance. He saw that his comrade was unconscious. Immediately, he contacted the rest of the henchmen to the guard post."What the hell happened here?" asked the lead henchmen who saw his colleague on the floor. "I don't know, boss. I was on my way here to the guard post when I saw him on the floor." replied the henchman who reported the incident."Hmmm... it looks like he got shot by a sleeping dart. Look at his neck." said the lead henchman. They all took a closer look and sure enough, the henchman who was hit by the dart still had the dart on his neck."We have an intruder in the safehouse. From what I can tell, this has to be the work of the enemy. I've heard quite a bit of the way our enemy takes us down." concluded the lead henchman."Search the safehouse. The enemy may already be inside." commanded the lead henchman. The rest of the henchmen spread out, in a

"The calvary? You mean Nathan?" asked Charles. "It won't be just Nathan, brother. I can assure you that." replied Mason. "Yeah, knowing grandma, she probably sent the rest of Team Quinton and the Phoenix Mafia to rescue us." said Chloe. "Well, on one hand, I'll be happy if it is indeed them. On the other hand, Pamela would catch wind of this and threaten to kill us unless they back off." said Derek. "On top of that, they have our suits. They might not know how to use them; but it's probable that they might disassemble our suits to understand the tech." said Jim. "Well, there's only one way to find out." said Victoria. She then tapped on her wrist a few times and surprisingly, her wrist watch appeared. "Hey... what... when?" Charles was stammering when he saw what Victoria did. "Sorry, boss. I had to keep mum from everyone just in case Pamela heard us in the safehouse. I memorized the functions of my suit before we came here. So, before we were captured, I secretly put my wrist wa

"Give me a minute, Young Master Derek. Allow me to assess my suit's mask. That should give me visual of the room where my suit is being kept." said Victoria. "Put your suit in cloak mode first. Then you can see without being seen." said Charles. "Understood, boss." replied Victoria. With a few pushes on her decloaked wristwatch, Victoria set her entire suit in cloak mode. She then activated the mask portion of her suit and in an instant, she was able to see the surroundings of the room where her mask was kept. "It looks like some sort of a lab. I can see everyone's suits in there too. Well, it looks like mine was the first to be disassembled; because everyone else's suits are still intact, with your wrist watches attached to them." reported Victoria. "Without our wrist watches, we would be flying our suits blindly. Victoria, craft a pathway from that lab to the dungeon." instructed Derek. "It's three rooms away; so it should be fine." replied Victoria. With full control of her su

"Hector? What are you doing on this frequency?" Derek asked curiously, surprised that Hector, of all people, responded to his distress call. "Young Master, this is the Quinton family emergency frequency. Don't you remember?" replied Hector. Derek looked at the frequency stated on his wrist watch; and he understood what Hector meant. "Oh yes, you're right. Hector, where are you now?" asked Derek. "I'm currently in Ms Madison's office at DreamSmith. Alex's security boys Marlon and Ivan informed me of the situation at Townsville." replied Hector. "Understood, Hector. Thanks for holding down the fort at DreamSmith. I need a favour from you. Contact my father, tell him the invasion team and I are still alive but we need to rescue Ivy. I need to establish contact with him. Get the frequency wave he is on and forward it to me." instructed Derek. "I'm on it, Young Master. Stay on this frequency for the time being." replied Hector. Within five minutes, Hector parlayed Derek's request to Pe

During the time that Pamela, Gerard, Andrea and Ivy were on the live feed, Victoria and Jim were searching for them, leaving markers behind them like a trail for the rest of the invasion team to see. Jim used the heat signature function of his suit to search for them. Eventually, Jim spotted a room ahead of him with the heat signatures of four people inside. He signalled Victoria to follow him to the outside of the room. Using the audio enhancers equipped in her suit, as well as looking at the live feed, Victoria was able to conclude that Ivy was in that particular room. Jim then signalled the rest of the invasion team to meet them outside the room, to which Mason, Chloe, Charles and Derek rushed over to meet them. "Good job, Jim and Victoria. It's time for phase two." said Charles. "Before we proceed, should we let everyone else in on the plan?" asked Derek. "What plan?" Mason asked curiously. "What do you have in mind, Charles?" asked Chloe. "Well... I'm going undercover... f

"Damn, she is shrewd. She just put Charles in a dilemma." said Derek. He knew, as well as, if not better than anyone, what power can do to a person. "I know what you mean, Derek. With that said, Charles should know the dark side of chasing power. He knows better than most what is the right choice to make." said Madam Louise. "I hope you are right, Louise." said an equally concerned Lea. "He knows, for sure. I just think the path to do the right thing is not as straightforward as we think." said Peter. "Mr. Quinton, you don't mean..." said Mason. "I'm afraid so, Mason. I just hope he knows whose side he is on." replied Peter. "C'mon, Charles. Stay strong, brother." said Mason and Derek. "So, let's be clear. You want me to be the sole owner of the Quinton Consortium when it's all said and done. You are going to guide and nurture me to be the heir to the throne, so to speak." Charles asked Pamela. "Well, the only way to do that is to get my loser brother to surrender ownership of

"Ok, Charles, the feed is on." said Pamela. "Take your position, on Derek's right side." "Understood, Lady Boss." replied Charles. Seconds later, everyone, including the people in the Phoenix Bunker, the safehouse and the combined invasion and rescue team saw the live feed on their screens. "Your eyes do not deceive you, Peter. Charles has betrayed you. He has decided to join a real mafia and I will nurture him properly, so he can be a real Don." began Pamela. "As you can see, I have your son as hostage. If you ever want to see Derek again, in one piece and alive, firstly, call off your attack dogs. Secondly, you will, and I mean WILL, surrender your precious Quinton Consortium to me. Oh, before I forget, that includes your so-called Phoenix Mafia as well." "And just in case you think I'm not being serious... " Pamela then did something no one expected. She pressed a button on her control panel; and in the next moment, Ivy's suit emerged from a corner of her control room. 'What th

Before Charles could answer, they heard footsteps approaching the dungeon. Derek passed Gerard's dungeon keys to Charles before he cloaked himself again. In order to play along with Pamela's ploy, Charles quickly opened the dungeon door, placed Victoria gently inside before locking the door again. The footsteps grew audibly closer towards the dungeon door. Charles turned his attention towards the sound of those footsteps and walked in that direction, taking caution to who he might run into. As he turned around the corner, he found out who those footsteps belong to. "Oh my gosh, Esther. What are you doing here?" Charles exclaimed softly as he embraced his girlfriend. "Wait, you shouldn't be here. Didn't Mr. Quinton give you and the rest the order to head to the safehouse?" asked Charles. "I had to come here. I was not going to let that b***h Pamela take you." replied Esther emotionally. Just then, Derek decloaked himself and met up with Charles and Esther. "Esther, so it was you. G

Who's The Loser Now? Epilogue 3 - Quinton Consortium Worldwide
The cameras were flashing as journalists and reporters gathered at the eagerly anticipated launch of the new mall in Townsville, specifically located near the Townsville Hillside Condo. Standing in front of the main entrance, Desmond and Jocelyn faced the crowd. Desmond then took the mic to address the crowd, "After months of construction, through reported ups and downs, we are happy to announce, on behalf of the Quinton Consortium, the officially opening of Townsville Hillside Mall." said Desmond. He then took his side next to Jocelyn and proceeded to perform the cutting of the ribbon, signalling that the Townsville Hillside Mall was officially opened. Applause rang all around the front as Desmond and Jocelyn opened the front entrance doors, welcoming the crowd into the mall. In another corner of Townsville, Wayne and Kimberly were also dressed sharply; but for a different reason. Joining them were Roland and Elaine Russo, as all four of them stood in front of the main entrance t
Who's The Loser Now? Epilogue 2 - The Don and his bride
"Brother Derek, are you sure about this?" asked Charles as he looked at himself in the mirror. He was wearing a tuxedo; but not any ordinary tuxedo. Derek had Charles wear his diamond encrusted tuxedo, the most expensive tuxedo he bought from Nick Lopez when he first found out he was a Quinton. "I'm sure about it, Charles. I know I bought it for me initially; but in all honesty, you wearing this tux means so much more." Derek reassured Charles. "Man, I'm nervous. Brother, how did you even go through your wedding with Ms. Amanda?" asked Charles exasperately. "Desmond told me to take a deep breath to calm my nerves. It could work for you, too." replied Derek. Charles decided to take Derek's advice and took two deep breaths. Surprisingly, he felt much calmer. Then he and Derek heard a knock on the door. In walked Mason, "Brother, are you ready?" asked Mason. "As ready as I'll ever be." replied Charles. All three of them then walked upstairs... to the top deck of Charles's superyach
Who's The Loser Now? Epilogue 1 - Closure
The prison gate key entered the lock. With a click, the warden opened the cell gate, with mixed emotions. "Madam Louise... it's time." In her cell, Madam Louise looked around the jail cell she had been living in, serving her time for her past wrongs. She thought about the time she spent in the cell, forming a close friendship with the warden, being released early to help Team Quinton and the Phoenix Mafia, eventually being a key player in the fight against Pamela. It was a sad day to leave her family after the fight ended; but heading back to prison was necessary. Thanks to Lea Quinton, however, she did not have to stay in prison any longer. She received a pardon from the Mayor of Townsville; and now, she can leave the Townsville prison freely. She slowly stood up and walked towards the cell door, where she noticed her warden friend had a tear in his eye. Smiling slightly, she wiped the tear away from his eye. "No need to weep for me, young man. We will meet again, outside of t

With the mask worn on his face; and the briefcase full of cash repacked into a duffel bag found in the control room, Charles slung the bag over his shoulder, ready to move out of Pamela's HQ. Before heading out, Charles made sure to surround himself in a nanoshield sphere to avoid any sudden sneak attacks. After which, Charles used his upgraded suit to do a thorough scan, looking to devise an alternate way out of Pamela's HQ. 'Hmmm... it looks like I'm going to have to blast my way out of here. Time to check out what weapons are at my disposal.' Charles thought to himself. Scanning the system in his suit through his mask, Charles was surprised to find various forms of weaponry to pave his way out. "Well then, let's get started." Charles said to himself. However, as we was about to step out of Pamela's control room, an alarm sounded inside of the control room. Red emergency lights were flickering in the control room. Charles turned his direction to one of the screens in the control

"Gerard! Andrea! You certainly have some guts showing your faces here after you betrayed me!" Pamela sneered at the couple. "Lady Boss... wait! We did not betray you." Gerard defended himself. "That's right, Lady Boss! The hostages... they escaped!!" shouted Andrea. "WHAT?!?!?" Pamela shouted angrily. She then turned her attention to Charles, who was standing there, perplexed. "Charles!! You were at the dungeon earlier. You said you saw your team in their cells. Is that true?!?" Pamela asked authoritatively. "Absolutely, Lady Boss. I personally locked up the dungeon after making sure that loser Derek was in his cell." replied Charles. "He's lying, Lady Boss. Charles must still be working with his friends. Somehow, they managed to get their suits from the lab and escape from this place." Gerard said accusingly, pointing at Charles at the same time. "Hold on there, Gerard. Up until just now, when Lady Boss showed me her lab, I did not even know that existed." Charles defended hims
Who's The Loser Now? Chapter 138
"You tell me, Charles. How did you and that loser escape in the first place?" Pamela asked suspiciously. Charles was calm in his answer, "Well, I found a couple of metal pins in my cell and I used it to pick my cell lock." Charles began. "Once I got free, that's where I hatched my plan. I picked the lock of Derek's cell. I had to convince him that he and I were on the same team in taking you out. So, while the rest were in their cells, which, by the way, they still are, Derek and I made our way out of the dungeon." explained Charles. "Well, you certainly have some talent, unlike that loser. Still, Gerard and Andrea not reporting back is concerning for me." replied Pamela. As she looked at the monitors of the control room, she noticed something peculiar, then she started frowning. "What's wrong, Lady Boss?" asked Charles. "Take a look at that." said Pamela, pointing Charles's attention to one of the monitors surveying the lab. "What about it, Lady Boss?" asked Charles curiously. "C
