BLASTING BLOW
The soft morning rays seeped through the window curtains into the room.
Tyson's eyes slowly opened. Hana was still asleep beside him.
For a moment, he simply gazed at her… then gently got up and left the room without waking her.
Tyson came downstairs and sat for breakfast, but his face was unusually calm today – like the quiet before a storm.
On the other side – London.
In a corner room of a luxurious hotel,
Ryan sat in deep focus. His eyes were fixed on the laptop screen – the screen displayed the complete details and security system of Lucy's Global Properties.
Ryan muttered to himself: Ryan – "Starting with Australia…"
He picked up the phone and gave an order to his man in a code word: "Initiate Operation Black Fog. Timing remains the same – 11:00 AM sharp."
He put down the phone. After that, Ryan picked up a small bag – which contained some special gadgets and a metal box – the box held a bomb. He left his room. After coming out of the hotel, Ryan went to the parking area, took out his car, and drove away.
About an hour later – Ryan's car stopped in front of a grand mansion.
He got out of the car and looked around.
Two guards at the gate and CCTV cameras – but Ryan didn't have time to hide.
He took out a pistol from his pocket and fired towards the nearby forest.
"Bang!"
The sudden sound alerted the guards.
One guard said, "Where did that sound come from?"
The other said, "Towards the forest!"
Both guards ran towards that direction with their weapons.
A cold smile spread across Ryan's face.
Without wasting any time, he jumped over the left wall of the mansion,
Went straight inside, and found a corner near the basement where there was no CCTV coverage.
He opened the metal box, fitted the bomb – and set it on the same timer that was synced with the bomb in Australia – 11:00 AM.
> "At the same time, fire is going to erupt in two countries."
> As soon as the bomb was set, Ryan quietly left the place in the same way he came.
> The guards hadn't even returned from the forest yet. Ryan got back into the car,
> Looked at the mansion one last time… and closed his eyes, saying one word –> "Game… set."
>
Meanwhile, in Australia and London, the bombs at Lucy's properties were ticking.
Clock – 10:55 AM…
5 minutes remaining.
Lucy and Adrian were at a private yacht party at this time, completely unaware that the foundation of their empire was about to crumble.
The sea waves gently swayed around the luxurious yacht. With colorful lights, DJ beats, and cocktails, Adrian and Lucy were celebrating their victory.
Laughter and fun filled the party… alcohol flowed, and in the middle of the dance floor, Lucy was wrapped in Adrian's arms.
A few moments later, Adrian came off the dance floor. Adrian went and sat on a sofa, and Lucy, sitting in his lap, whispered in his ear –> "There's still so much more to come, baby…"
Just then, Adrian's phone vibrated.
Mark – his most loyal man, was calling.
Adrian casually answered the call and said –> "Yeah, Mark?"
A hurried voice was heard from the other end of the phone.
Mark said –> "Boss… Tyson's warehouse was saved… don't know how he got wind of it… he came there himself and shot all our men. __None of our men survived… all dead…"
Suddenly Adrian shouted –> "What!!!" Blood rushed to Adrian's eyes. He got up abruptly in anger, causing Lucy to almost fall from his lap.
Steadying herself, she asked worriedly –> "Adrian? What happened?"
Adrian's face was as cold as ice and as red as fire.
Clenching his jaw, Adrian said –> "The attack on Tyson's warehouse failed.
He is always two steps ahead of us… and we are always behind!" He came there and killed everyone.
Hearing this, Lucy went mad with anger. She smashed the wine glass in her hand on the floor – the sound of shattering glass and her scream echoed simultaneously.
Lucy screamed –> "No... no... Tyson you beast! We will destroy you!" What if you survived today, you won't survive next time.
On the other hand...
Tyson's mansion – study room.
A large screen was mounted on the wall in the room,
where live footage from different cameras was being displayed.
Tyson sat on a chair, one hand resting on his chin, deeply watching the screen. His eyes didn't blink even once.
Clock – 11:00 AM
Tick... tick... tick...
And then…"Boom!!"
Australia – Lucy's Resort: __The entire building was engulfed in flames. Screams, running people, clouds of smoke… chaos erupted in an instant.
Australia – Lucy's Business Hub: __A massive blast… the entire structure collapsed…
London – Her Farmhouse:
Direct blast in the basement – fire spread everywhere.
The screen showed – Lucy's empire in two countries had turned to dust simultaneously.
A very cold, deadly smile appeared on Tyson's lips. And he said –> "Now... we're even, sweetheart."
Just then, Romy came from behind and said –> "Boss, Ryan is on the call."
Tyson nodded and said in a stern tone –> "Tell him… 'The first prey is down, now it's the second one's turn.'"
Back on the yacht –
Notifications started popping up on Lucy's phone one after another.
"Emergency at Site 23"
"System Failure in London Hub"
"Explosion Detected"
Lucy turned pale. She looked at Adrian and said –> "What is this...? What's happening...?"
Adrian understood – Tyson had outsmarted their every move, and now – the game had turned.
Tyson had ruined Lucy and hadn't even given her a chance to recover.
What will happen next?
What will be Tyson's next move?
Why did Tyson target Lucy first?
What will be Adrian's next move?
How will Hana react when she finds out that Tyson has destroyed her mother Lucy?
