Hollywood Zenith

He only moved few meters before he felt the presence of two guards around the corner. Instead of running away, he leapt into action and dashed in their direction.

" What the-"

" Fuck-"

It only took him a moment to put them to sleep, he didn't outright kill them but only knocked them out. Just for a safety measure, he also dismantled their guns and hid them around a storeroom, he found earlier.

After stashing their weapons, he started moving around nimbly. The place was like a maze so he was careful. There was also heavy surveillance especially on upper floors where they locked their 'goods'.

Samuel figure was only displayed as a black shadow under the cameras because he was too fast for them to catch anything.

With each body, he had to wait for a little and give out a confirmation so as to not arise any suspicion. First, he wanted to heard to the surveillance room to get a full picture of this place.

He knew the place had to have a strong lock in system in case of emergency. With heavy security outside the warehouse, they would probably think no one would be able to sneak inside which meant if this place was in a shut down, no one not even the outside guards would be able to get inside.

After thirty minutes, he took care of most of the guards excluding those inside the main surveillance room.

He knew where Richard was staying so he left that bastard for now. He also felt several more presence inside the room and from the sounds he knew what they were doing inside the place.

He was fully aware of what kind of place this was, a stowaway place for the lecherous bastard to act upon his sick fantasies.

He really wanted to teach him a lesson but this time, he would give a stern warning and let his family handle the situation. If they failed to deliver sufficient preparation, he would task Zero and their guild to act as revenger for his countless misdeeds.

He quietly entered the security room to find two people sitting on the chair watching dozens of live feeds. They looked bored, just as he expected.

Sneaking behind them, he grabbed their necks from behind lifting their bodies in the air like ragdolls. They were way over six feet with well built bodies but against his enormous strength, they could only grunt and moan before losing consciousness.

After tossing them aside and securing theor hands and feets, he sat down on the chair and began inspecting their security system.

He had to admit they had very powerful firewalls to prevent anyone from locating this place. Suddenly his phone vibrated again, he took it out to see his deception was discovered.

It seemed like those computer geniuses had managed to at least clear one barrier which led to them pinging his location. He looked at the surveillance screen of the room they were in.

He expected them to freak out but the only one who started yelling and screaming were their captors who actually hit the guy. He seemed to be the one who cracked the code.

Through sound system, he made out what they were saying. Even though the scene was brutal he chuckled because the guards clearly knew the coordinates which was showing on the screen.

It was the damn warehouse they were in, they would have never guessed Samuel was sitting beside the room they were in.

Fortunately, they stopped hitting the young man after a while after which he lazily made his way toward his terminal again. Samuel saw the same dead look on his face which resembled Lihn, the girl he met earlier.

He started to understand what sort of people they were. Another plan began to form in his mind but for now, he put the thought at the back of his head.

He started typing furiously, breaking his way through the firewall. Others might think this was state of the art system but for him, it was a child's play.

After few minutes, he learned most of the things about the warehouse including the shut down procedure. It was very extensive, the whole place would be covered with reinforced steel, even windows had a latch attached to them which would come down in case of emergency.

Before pulling the lever, he first connected the the network the hackers were using. He sent them few direct messages letting them know someone was here to save them.

Some openly objected not believing his words to which Samuel let off the restrictions placed upon their terminals. They never showed any emotions on their faces but inside they were excited.

Few smarters ones were able to determined that the computer Samuel was using was within the warehouse. Samuel didn't deny it, he knew they were just victims of they really wanted to go against his wishes, he wouldn't be the one to pay the price.

These people were ruthless but they never met someone like him before. For now, he could only give them some reassurance and a timeline to take cover within ten minutes. Samuel would use the commotion of the shut down to barge inside to save them.

All they had to do was to stay put and wait for him. After getting a positive response from them, someone asked about Lihn.

He didn't say anything only told them they would see her soon and she was safe. He didn't have anything to prove it to them because that dingy room didn't have any cameras but for now they had to trust him.

He initiated the sequence and alerted them to count down the time. After that he took out his cell phone and dialed Steve and Arthur on a conference call.

After some hesitation, he also called Zero to explain the situation. They all told him the help would be on their way within two hours.

They could send some preliminary forces within forty five minutes but Samuel told them there was about twenty well armed guards outside.

He also took some of the weapons that he could use if push came to shove but he was confident in his security team.

It took him eight minutes to sort of important calls, he quietly left the room and waited for next two minutes to break open the door.
