All Chapters of The Liberal Assassin: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Felix made good of his word and Luna Services was completely revamped within a month. All necessary legal and administrative matters were taken care of, all I needed to do was sign some agreements and the company ready to be incorporated as a monolith that occupied an entire Area district beside Felix's company. The news of T.C. and Felix joining hands for this new giant that emerged overnight had taken the Inner City by storm. It wasn't difficult to call for a press interview and Felix had opted to take a backseat saying people would like to see a handsome young face for a change of pace. That leads us to what we were doing now. The wheeler halted and I got out, waiting for Ignacio to do the same. We were at Lisa's boutique ready to make new suits for the press interview scheduled after a brief meeting with Felix. The electronic chime went off as we stepped in, alerting Lisa of our arrival. The small woman emerged from the room behind the c

"…and we will bring in a new business partner from the Slums. Nash Skinner is a very capable man with great influence on the people there. He will work alongside Ignacio who will be taking over the position of Chief Executive Officer of Luna Services." Gasps and murmurs broke out after I ended my announcement. It was a rather sudden thing so objections are expected. I could see that Felix frowned in disapproval but opted to remain silent about it until the meeting was adjourned. One by one, the board directors and major shareholder representatives left after they were unable to convince me to change my mind. I tidied the table with the help of Ignacio after they had left. Only Felix remained as we had anticipated. "Why?" he asked. "Luna Services is doing so well, why now?" I smiled and exchanged looks with Ignacio. The brunet nodded and took the cue to give us some privacy. The moment the door

"You've been really quiet for a while." "It is for good reasons. I trust that you are doing well under Ignacio's leadership?" Nash sighed and sank into his new fluffy couch. "Not really. There are still shareholders who disapprove of someone from the Slums and someone who had been a Special Pass worker running the company. The Parliament is also giving us pressure and some monoliths formed alliances to cut off trades with us. However, the kid dealt with everything easily. He's asking the Slums for trades and expanded the logistics department, giving employment to the people in the Slums and the ones struggling in the Inner City. Many rich folks saw it as a golden opportunity and share prices are still rising." Chuckling to myself, I have to say Ignacio wasn't a genius in merely title. Luna Services will be in good hands. "I'm more curious as to what you're planning," Nash grunted as he shot me a half

“Oh Pyros… is it really you? Am I really seeing the Night Walker in person?”The childish excitement on Rush’s face had been unexpected. The man was as bad as Ignacio was when it came to things they adored. For some reason, those violet eyes sparkled unnaturally with a goofy grin on his much-chiselled jaws. It was ludicrous!“No, this is the Day Crawler. Of course, it’s the Night Walker! Put some snow down your shirt and chill. I’m as normal as you are.”“No way, you’re cooler than the stories! I’ve heard how you’ve thrown Spencer off your tail countless times. You also know how to break in those super high-security areas as if they were your house, not to mention you’re the personification of Justice!”

It was dark and everything felt heavy.My eyelids wouldn’t open but I could hear footsteps of someone pacing the room.“Sit down! Walking around won’t help him regain consciousness any faster.”I heard a grunt followed by a voice that grated on my ears. “Don’t tell me what to do! Besides, you said any moment now he’ll be awake.”“Well,” a weary voice explained, “I’m a scientist and not a doctor. Truthfully, he should be in the medical unit. But if I let Ignacio do that, his identity as the Night Walker would be compromised.”I heard another grunt from the same old man but the pacing stopped. The bed dipped and I felt a warm hand on my forehead.
