" Fuck!" Samuel cursed out in frustration. He never thought they would directly kill themselves. The unnamed man didn't even bat an eye dealing with his partner, he didn't know what sort of training these people went through to become so merciless with their orders.

Samuel opened the man's mouth and found that he was indeed carrying a false tooth. He knew these people wouldn't have anything connecting them to the ringleader, it was same with all the others he faced before. They were like ghosts, with no fingerprints or dental records, hell, he couldn't even determine which country they were from looking at their plain face.

He sighed getting up feeling a little down. He knew now, he would never be able to capture them alive without special intervention. If he used his magic, he might be able to do it but it would definitely disclose his big secret.

" Maybe that little bastard could fill in some blanks." He looked directly at a particular wall. He knew there was a false room behind it where Richard was hiding, the place should have some surveillance which meant, he should had already seen Samuel taking care of his two henchman.

He walked toward the wall not before waving at the girls motioning to them it would be fine. They seemed to have known his intentions. They must have witnessed Richard take refuse inside the panic room.

Richard who was inside saw everything, right now, he was furiously trying to do something to get out of this predicament. The main computer was in front of him but for some reason, he was unable to access anything.

He couldn't even use his phone as in case of emergency, a large jammer would be activated to cut off the signal. This safety mechanism worked in Samuel's favour perfectly, he was inside a full one fortress without anyone disturbing his work.

The panic room was something his people had built by taking apart a high end vault that banks used to store liquid cash and other valuable metals. It had several safety mechanism like fingerprint and even an iris scanner to keep the intruders away.

It was humanly impossible for the wannabe ninja to get inside his safe space, Richard was sure of it. Within few hours, the whole area would be swarmed by his men. As long as he was safe, his people would take care of it. Experience more on empire

What he was frustrated about was his two henchmen, he had known them for almost a decade. They taught him everything, how to handle people and how to make things happen along with strategies to bend the rules in his favour.

They protected his life on more occasion than he could count on, no matter the place or enemies, they would always get him out in one piece. So it was baffling to see them lose to one person, even if he couldn't control the terminal, he could view the constant security feeds.

He saw how he took care of the guards and rescued those maggots, he never thought they would betray him so easily. He poured immense amount of wealth for this place but what costed him most was those twelve people.

They were his treasure and he was sure he wouldn't let them get away, not now, not ever. Before that happens, he would put a bullet in each one of them! If he couldn't have them than no one else would!

His eyes stuck on the screen as he saw them messing around in one of the guest rooms trying to get themselves clean.

" These bastards don't even know how to shit! I think I have been too lenient with them up until now but that's going to change soon. I should have just locked them up like animals ready to serve my purpose, they might not feel anything else but they are damn smart when they are feeling some pain." He thought grinning his signature evil smile.

He looked away and saw the other screen, he chuckled seeing the intruder tinker with the security system. He almost thought the brute would use some forceful ways to get inside but he seemed to be dumber than he assumed. He sighed and leaned back on his chair relaxing.

Suddenly, the vault door buzzed waking him up from his stupor. The heavy door flung open revealing the masked face of the intruder. Even though, he couldn't see his face he could feel that he was smiling at him.

Richard was too shocked to make any sound, all he could think was how? How did he get inside the panic room? That's when he noticed his eyes, the emerald green that buzzed with a mixture of glee and anticipation was staring back at him.

" You! It's you!" All he could blurt out this as the sudden realization hit him but soon his vision blurred as he limply fell back on his chair. Samuel didn't do anything, not even used his aura. It seemed like he fainted because of the shock.

" Bastard sure do know how to make an impression." Samuel laughed pushing him aside. Richard fell down from his chair, face first which must had broke his nose as the pain jolted him awake. He looked around remembering what happened only to be struck down by Samuel again.

Samuel dragged his body, using him as a chair to sit in front of the terminal. What he first needed to do was to disable to jamming system so that he could contact his people. While he was busy typing away, Richard was squirming under him cursing and shouting but he paid no attention to his antics.

He only used his aura which knocked him out again. Within few minutes, he undid the damage to the network. The lockdown was still in place but he cut off the jammers through this main interface. He stood up and thought for a second before grabbing Richard's lush blonde hair dragging him out of the vault. He fished out his phone from his body and used his fingerprint to unlock the device.

With a smirk on his face, he took out his own cell phone and copied the number ready to unleash his sweet revenge!
