Linda sat in the audience, unable to believe her eyes. Tears streamed down her face, unstoppable. Emma, however, smiled as she whispered to herself, “I knew it would take more than a hundred falcons to kill my boy.” Richard, having climbed from the backstag e, was now stepping forward to receive his award. After the ceremony, the crowd had dispersed, and the military personnel were gone. Richard waved them goodbye before turning to thank Detective. “Thank you for helping me,” Richard said, shaking the detective’s hand. “I owe you my life.” “It’s nothing, Rich,” the detective replied with a smile. “You saved this city. The whole country owes you. And because of you, I’ve been promoted to prosecutor.” Richard blinked in surprise. “Wow, congrats!” he said. “That’s incredible.” The detective laughed. “I’ll say it again. You’re the one who saved us all.” As the detective made his way to the car, Richard turned and saw his family waiting for him. Cynthia, his sister, Nina, Linda, and Emma we...

  Richard's journey back to the city felt both long and short. Long because of the distance, yet too short for him to properly strategize his next move. As soon as he reached the riverbank, he knew he needed to come up with a plan quickly, but his mind was still racing. “Damn! I can’t believe I couldn’t come up with a plan in all this time. Things would’ve been easier if Emma were here,” Richard muttered to himself as he paced around the riverbank, panic setting in. “Gideon is definitely looking for me now. Alright, here’s what I’ll do: I’ll head back to Linda, Emma, and Nina. Together, we’ll come up with a plan to stop Gideon. I’m not letting his blood end up on my hands.” "But wait," Richard said, still panicking. "If I don't kill him, he'll kill me. Oh my God, this is bad. I can't believe I threatened a world-class murderer. What should I do now?" He tried to hold himself together, desperately attempting to calm down. After a long period of panick...

  Gideon in the van heading out after the explosion, was approached by Tim, one of his generals. "Boss, the headquarters is blown up. We need somewhere to lie low," Tim said, concern evident in his voice. Gideon, still in a state of shock, sat down in the van with some of his men waiting for him to address the current situation. "I can't believe that son of a bitch blew himself up in that place," Gideon said, his voice filled with disbelief. "For all we know, he said he'd be coming for you, so maybe he had a plan to survive," Tim suggested. Gideon shook his head. "We head to the company and lay low, get ready for war. If he somehow managed to survive the fire, it only means one thing: he's definitely coming for us. So, we use the company facilities as hostages and defense." The internet was buzzing with news about the twenty-year-old Richard, who had forced Gideon Hopper, one of the country's most powerful men, on the run. Reports...

 Linda, Emma, and Nina sat at the dining table, each lost in their own thoughts. Emma's restless tapping on the ground made Nina feel a bit uneasy. "Hey, could you please not do that? It's disrupting my thought process," Nina requested, causing Emma to stop. "Sorry about that," he apologized. After a long moment of contemplation, Emma turned to Nina. "Hey, now that your thinking process isn't disrupted, mind sharing with us what you've been thinking about?" he asked. "Haha, funny," Nina mimicked, rolling her eyes. "You really have to tease me?" "Clearly, I didn't. You're the one making that up. I just asked a simple question," Emma replied innocently. "Oh, a simple question, is it? Coming from you, I know you're just doing it to get back at me," Nina retorted. Sensing the tension rising, Linda intervened. "Can we please not argue now? I mean, Gideon is with Richard, and we don't k...

As Richard found himself with the sharp edge of a large sword pressing against his neck, beads of sweat began to form on his forehead. Despite the intense pressure and fear coursing through him, he struggled to maintain his composure. Gideon's voice cut through the tense atmosphere, his patience wearing thin. "I believe I've made myself quite clear," he stated firmly, his tone dripping with menace. "Linda, either sign those papers now or witness the end of your beloved boyfriend." Linda's heart raced as she faced an impossible choice, her mind racing with the weight of the decision before her. Emmanuel, already in a panic, looked at Linda urgently. "Linda, please sign it! What on earth are you waiting for?" he said, growing impatient. Linda turned to Gideon, questioning, "If I sign this, do you promise not to bother us again? I mean, what are the odds of that? If I do sign it, will we leave here alive?" "I can assure you, my...

 BeforeVictor departed after resolving the differences among the four friends, he shared some crucial information with them. Gideon plans to convene a meeting with the board of directors and shareholders of Prime Tech. The agenda is to negotiate the sale of their shares to Gideon, and notably, I won't be present at the meeting. Additionally, based on information I acquired, it appears that Gideon intends to minimize security presence at the meeting to avoid drawing attention to himself. It's a secret gathering, and he's taking steps to reduce his security detail, with fewer Falcons expected to be present to protect him. "Victor, when exactly is this meeting taking place?" Emmanuel inquired, his eyes narrowing with determination. "This could be the perfect opportunity to apprehend Gideon. With reduced security and the element of surprise on our side, he won't see us coming." "Victor said the meeting is tomorrow at noon," Emmanuel relayed, hi...
