Charles looked at Jim's security team and motioned them over. "Could you guys do Mr. Quinton a favour? Take this fat useless trash and throw him out of the building." Charles requested. Clap! Clap! Clap! Peter Quinton stood up from his chair and walked towards Charles, patting Charles's shoulder. "That's who I'm looking for to be my successor. I can safely assume... you've made your decision, yes?" Peter asked Charles. Charles took a breath to calm his nerves. Then he turned his attention to Peter. "Mr. Quinton, I have made my decision. I accept your offer to be your successor. To be the Don of Townsville." declared Charles. Derek and Charles then embraced tightly. Derek could not be happier to hear Charles's decision to be the new Don of Townsville. "Good. I'm glad to hear it. I can understand if it's a lot for you to take in one day. So you'll start tomorrow. By the way, how did you feel as you were whooping that fat b*****d's ass?" "To be honest, he was already getting on my

Beep! Beep! Beep!The alarm was blaring all around Charles's room in his new cabin. Charles slowly opened his eyes, sat up and gave himself a good stretch. Sitting on his bed, he took a few moments to gather his thoughts, in particular, a reality that he accepted just the night before. As of the night before, the old Charles Smith is gone. This was day one of the new Charles Smith. The Don of Townsville. Accepting this new reality, Charles got up from bed and took a cold shower, waking up his senses in his body.After his shower, Charles headed to his wardrobe to see what clothes were available in it."Hmmmm...there's a good mix of clothes here." Charles said to himself. He wasn't wrong. There was a mix of casual wear, office wear and formal wear with shoes to match. "Gee, I wonder....should I go all out to make a first impression...or do I take a page out of brother Derek's playbook and go for something casual?"

Everyone looked at Charles and had smiles on their faces. The Phoenix Mafia. What a fitting name. Peter could not by any prouder of Charles. "I have definitely picked the right man to take over my underground business. The Phoenix Mafia has my blessings and best wishes. Charles, may you lead this team of firebirds to new heights, while staying hidden in the shadows." said Peter. "Thank you, Mr. Quinton. I will be speaking to the team for today. I like to ingratiate myself in a good way for my first day." replied Charles. "Good. I'll take my leave then. I have lunch with my wife at the Quinton Hotel." Peter bid farewell to the Phoenix Mafia before taking his leave. "Jim, take a seat. Everyone else, go about your work." said Charles. "Yes, boss." replied the Phoenix Mafia before exiting the VIP room, except for Jim. "Have a seat, Jim. We got quite a bit to talk about." said Charles. "How may I help you, boss?" aske

"Ok, boss! I've got their GPS locations." Ivy reported. "Let's see them. Put them up on the screen." replied Charles. Ivy then showed her findings on the projection screen to show everyone what she was seeing on her laptop. "From the looks of it boss, it seems that your friends are in three main locations: The Quinton Tower, the Quinton Hotel here in Townsville and another company office called QC Enterprise." "Our businesses are a safe distance from these three locations. So, I believe we can set off from here at your command." reported Ivy. "Good job, Ivy. Before we set off, you've heard me ask the rest of the team about their stories. I want to hear about yours." said Charles. "Yes, boss. As Mr. Quinton said earlier, I am probably the best computer expert money can buy. You could say I was a tech prodigy." "I come from a financially struggling family. My single mom raised me from the
Who's The Loser Now? Chapter 7
After an eventful first day of work, the Phoenix Mafia decided to unwind at the Sparrow Lounge, one of the many nightclubs owned by Peter Quinton, and now to Charles. Charles arrived in his Ferrari, a sight that was seldom seen in that area of Townsville. Initially, Charles was concerned about the attention he would get for driving such a high end car to the lounge. So Charles decided to drop his car at the valet area, before briskly heading over to the main entrance, where the rest of the team was waiting for him. Having being introduced to the Phoenix Mafia during the day, the bouncer recognised them all and immediately let them in, despite there being a public queue outside the lounge. The difference between the interior of the lounge during the day and at night was obvious. The overall purple neon lighting enveloped the whole lounge. It accentuated the marble bar tops, giving the lounge a psychedelic experience. Customers were seated

"Boss, earlier Victoria said she likes to be in the thick of the action. Do you remember that?" asked Jim. "Yes, what about it?" asked Charles. "Well, here's a first look for you." replied Jim with a smile as he continued to observe Victoria with the rest of the gang. "Hi guys. Wow, aren't you two handsome." Victoria greeted the two men seductively. "Well, hello there. You look amazing too." One of the men greeted back, googling at Victoria's blouse, which was unbuttoned halfway to show her cleavage. "So, what are you two hotties doing here in the Sparrow Lounge?" Victoria asked as she put her whiskey glass down. "Well, originally we are here to discuss a business proposal....but from the looks of it, we might have an another proposal of our own... just for you." the second man replied, mesmerized by Victoria's figure. "Naughty, naughty. Eyes up here, boys." Victoria commanded seductively. As the two men looked up to make eye contact, Victoria discreetly switched Desmo

Splash! Keith poured ice cold water over the heads and faces of the two men. Everyone involved was already at the abandoned construction site. The two men were tied to a couple of chairs with rope, giving them no room to escape. "Rise and shine, you pervs!" Holly's voice raised. The two men slowly opened their eyes after being doused with cold water. Once they realized what was happening to them, they started to fidget around, hoping the grip that the ropes have on them will loosen. "Don't bother struggling. These ropes will not be loosened so easily. You'll get rope burn or worse." said Keith. "Plus, even if you manage to get the ropes loosened, you have to face the six of us. You think you can escape this room so easily?" said Henry. "Who the hell are you people?!? Release us now!!" said the first man. Victoria entered the room and stood in front of the two men. "Hey guy
Who's The Loser Now? Chapter 10
It's been a busy first day for Charles. There was nothing he wanted more than to head back to his cabin and get a good night's sleep on his comfortable king size bed. Driving his Ferrari back to his cabin, Charles pressed the blue button on his key and his garage door opened. Charles then parked his Ferrari on its designated spot and stepped out, heading straight to the living room. Upon entering, he noticed the living room and kitchen lights were still on. 'Oh, might as well. I'll get something to drink before heading to bed.' Charles thought to himself as he proceeded to the kitchen. As he was heading to the kitchen, Charles noticed a woman searching for something in the refrigerator. She was dressed in a sexy beige lacy nightgown that wrapped snuggly around her sexy curvy figure, her long hair in a beautiful wave. She was bent over with her back facing Charles as she was arranging some items at the lower shelf of the refrigera

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

"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

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

"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
