Chapter 1014
"Alright, Alexander's driver is here. I'm sorry, Owen. I need to go." Elise quickly figured out an excuse to leave when she reckoned it was time to go.
"No worries. Being able to see you is enough to make my day." Owen pretended to see her off with a heavy heart but was actually happy that she was leaving on the inside. After all, he was tempted to seize his chance and execute his plan after learning about Smith Co.'s involvement in smuggling firearms.
"I'm happy that we met each other today. Anyway, I promise we'll see each other again. Bye." Elise left as soon as she finished her sentence. However, she was quickly disgusted by the promise she made as she justified her actions. Upon exiting the café, Elise made a few turns around the area before finally reaching Alexander's driver.
While Raymond was the driver, Alexander was sitting right beside him. "Hit the gas pedal, Raymond," Elise said as she removed the necklace. Deep down, she couldn't wait to leave the place because she couldn't stand Owen's flirtatious attitude. In the meantime, Alexander looked at her in an ambiguous manner as if he was going to make fun of her. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Elise felt uncomfortable with how Alexander was looking at her.
"Oh, nothing. I just realized how good of an actress my wife could be." Alexander responded in a deadpan manner.
"Seriously? Your wife just had a date with another man, yet you're here making fun of her. Shouldn't you have been nervous instead?" Elise tried to guilt-trip Alexander.
"Well, my boss is indeed the first man who sends his wife on a date with another man in this world." Raymond joined the conversation and chuckled.
"You could always leave and return to Africa if you think your job is too easy!" Alexander rolled his eyes upward in an annoyed manner.
"Alright, I'll keep my mouth shut!" Raymond kept his eyes on the road, thinking it was most sensible for him to back down.
While Elise chuckled in amusement, Alexander lightened up immediately at the sight of her smile. He then held her hand and fiddled with it. "Well, let's just say I don't think a nobody like Owen would pose a threat. More importantly, I trust you without question." Alexander explained himself while sweet-talking his way out, deeming that to be the proper way of getting along with his wife in harmony.
"Are you praising me or yourself?" Elise saw through Alexander's narcissism.
"Your husband is a smart and sensible man. So, of course, I was complimenting the two of us." Alexander tried to act cute.
"Cut that crap." Elise shoved him away. "By the way, what's the status now? Did Owen fall for it?" She was curious to learn Owen's whereabouts from the tracking device she left with him as it was equipped with GPS and eavesdropping features.
"There isn't anything much to worry about with you on our side, Honey. As soon as you both separated, Owen immediately called his men to prepare for his plan. So, all we have to do is wait for the news." Alexander smiled in response. "Good." Elise nodded, but soon, something seemed to cross her mind. "By the way, you haven't told me what kind of surprise you have in store for Owen."
"It's some old training equipment." Raymond interrupted the conversation once more. "Do you still remember the money that we got from the Hellen Family? With Mr. Griffith's approval, we used the money to replace all of our training equipment. However, we didn't know what to do with the old ones until we thought of Owen." As soon as he finished his words, his phone rang. In fact, every employee in Smith Co. was given two cell phones. While one of them was for business, the other one was for private use, as well as emergency situations. At that moment, the phone that was ringing was Raymond's private one. Therefore, he quickly pulled over and answered the phone call.
After exchanging a few words, Raymond hung up the call and reported what he learned to Alexander. "Boss, Clement said the Hellen Family just ordered some firearms from the mob in Diajan. The shipment will arrive tonight."
Alexander's face changed. After a short moment of contemplation, he said, "It can only mean one thing for them to buy so many weapons-they are planning to go all out to take down Smith Co." He then went silent for a while before adding, "Tell our people that they no longer have to ship the training equipment back here. Instead, unload them there and sell them off at the given price. Then, use the money on increasing the diet at our training base."
"Boss, are we going to cancel our plan to take on Owen?" Raymond's eyes widened.
"No, I have a better idea." Alexander flashed his index finger.
Elise felt chills running down her spine when she saw the sinister look on Alexander's face. "Oops, it looks like things are going to get ugly for somebody."
...
When it was just past 12.00AM, Owen's phone rang. "Mr. Morgan, Alexander has just left his office with his two right-hand men, Raymond and Clement." "Tail them!" Owen squinted and decisively gave an order.
Half an hour later, Owen arrived at the location that his henchmen sent him and found himself on a dock at West Coast. It turned out that they were on top of a lighthouse, which enabled them to have a good bird's eye view as they could observe what was going on at the dock with a telescope. Thus, Owen grabbed a telescope and watched the dock from afar, catching sight of Alexander talking to the captain before they completed the trade. After that, Alexander left the dock while Raymond stayed behind. Hmm. From the looks of their action, whatever they have on that ship is definitely something important to Smith Co. I don't care whether they are firearms because they are going to be valuable anyway.
"What's our next move, Mr. Morgan? Everyone is waiting."
"Are we going to do it? Please say something."
While the goons were anxiously urging their leader for his instruction, Owen shifted his eyes across everyone around him and finally broke the silence after a few moments. "Today is the day we take back what is rightfully ours!" Under Owen's command, dozens of his men rushed to the dock and fired at the people who were unloading their cargo at the dock from the opposite.
In that instant, the people from the Hellen Family were caught off guard by the sudden attack as they did their best to put up a fight. Soon, one of the men was smart enough to give Stenson a call to request reinforcements. "Boss, we're under attack. Someone is trying to rob our cargo!"
"What?! Damn it! Hang in there until I arrive! If you lose my shipment before I show up, I'm gonna rip you apart!" Stenson brought his finest men with him and left his residence after hanging up the call.
It wasn't until twenty minutes later that the shootout ended with Triune emerging victorious. While Owen and his men successfully took over the ship, the Hellen Family's people were forced to abandon the cargo and observe the situation from a distance. When Owen walked up to one of the wooden crates and opened the lid, the sight of firearms instantly put a wide grin across his face. As he was about to hold one of the guns, a bullet suddenly flew over his head and knocked his hat off. The next second, hundreds of bullets rained on them from afar, forcing Owen and his men to take cover. It was then that Owen saw dozens of boats coming in their direction while the people on them continued to fire in their direction.
Damn it! We nearly ended up with holes all over our bodies. Due to the shootout earlier, Owen and his men didn't have sufficient ammunition to fight back anymore, so he told his men to fall back. However, their attackers went on to fire gunshots at them for the next ten minutes until Owen saw a chance and seized it to communicate with the people on the boats. "Identify yourself! These goods belong to Triune, so leave now!" Owen thought they were attacked by another mob that wanted a piece of their loot.
"What are you talking about? I've never heard of Triune before, but I'm sure you're asking for trouble for trying to rob me of my goods! Now, let this name be the last words you hear as you take your last breath-Stenson Hellen." Stenson immediately shot Owen's man after identifying himself.
"Stenson Hellen? Wait a second. How did we even cross paths with the Hellen Family?" Owen questioned with a darkened expression.
