《The Typhoon’s Wife》The Typhoon's Wife
Advertisement
A tall and bulky man stood out on the side of a street.His height,looks and aura attracted the passers by as well as scared them away.His hands were fisted at the sides and his facial expressions looked as if he was in pain.He was continuously staring at a window in the office building in front of him. Finally breathing a deep sigh, the man was about to go across the road when a white car suddenly stopped in front of the entrance of the building. The man paused mid step and his aura changed. Suddenly,the person's features turned sharper and acute. From being in pain it looked as if he was ready to inflict pain. He observed as a group of 7 men rushed inside the building.The men looked plain enough but the fact that they were all dressed uniformly indicated they were a either security or a part of a cult or a gang.The way they had entered in broad daylight,it seemed they had no fear and were not even worried about being spotted.
The man looked carefully and saw that they had left one man behind in the car and he could guess why.Usually,a man was left bhind to keep the car running and ready for quick escape after committing a crime.The man was willing to bet his life that all the doors of the car were unlocked presently..The man smiled a cunning smile.If the doors were unlocked,then attacking someone also was easier.The man steadily crossed the road and walked upto the car.The man was noticed by the other man sitting in the car as that person was focused on the entrance of the building.He never came to know when his door was opened and how he lost consciousness in a matter of seconds.By the time the tall man entered the building,the driver of the car was laying slumped on the stearing wheel.At a leisurely speed,the man started to walk up the stairs to look for his prey.

Upstairs in the Office:
Mi Rae and her assistant looked at each other in horror when the goons had entered her cabin.Mi Rae then realized her mistake in making her assistant stand with her.The assistant could have called for help if she had stayed inside.Now even her life was in danger.Mi Rae tried to think of some way to escape.
Mi Rae looked at the three men in a rage and said,"What do you want?What is the meaning of this?"
Mi Rae spotted her phone on the edge of her table and brought her hands up,covering it.She continued to glare at them and said,"So is that how you all win your cases?By threatening your opposition.Director Wang,I had atleast some respect for the you and Attorney Xu but looking at your way of handling things,it seems I was sorely mistaken that you are decent people."
She slowly moved the phone even more so that it would fall on her lap..Director Lee smiled at her in a sinister way and said,"Attorney Zheng,do you think that by using the Long's you can threaten us.They are mighty powerful but they cannot help a dead person, can they?You see these people they are not aftraid of killing,ra**** or mutiliating.Do you think your almighty Neil Long would love you if you were missing an arn or a leg or an eye and had been used by multiple men?This will be your fate."Snatching a file from Attorney Xu,the director threw it on the desk and ordered,"Now let us negotiate.We will not give you a single penny and you will retract the case.As negotiation goes here are your options,if you take back the case then only your arm will be cut off,if you give a written apology for falsely accusing us and retract the case then you will only end up a bit bruised and all.The choice is yours."

Director Wang and Attorney Xu were also now staring in horror at Director Lee.They were not worried about Mi Rae but about themselves.By bringing these men here and laying the threats in their presence,Director Lee had made them accomplices in this as well.THis could be dangerous.The Longs' enemies were not known to survive.
Just as Director Lee had finished offering his terms for negotiation Mi Rae's phone fell onto her lap.Pretending to be scared she looked down and slowly brought her hands towards her lap from the table. She intended to press the emergency button on the side of the phone but before she could press it,the phone was pulled out if her grasp.The goon who had stealthily come forward smiled and said,"There is no hurry to call the police,miss.We will do it for you hen the time comes.Why don't you do what Director Lee says,with your beauty even we are willing to negotiate a bit after these people are gone."
Hearing this statement,the tall man who was now standing outside the door,listening in, smiled and opened the door a sliver.He needed to see who stood where after all.Inside the room the,the assumed leader of the goons was holding Attorney Zheng's phone and looking down at her smiling evilly.Everyone else's attention was on her and the three suited men had their back to him.Sighing the man wished he had his sniped rifle on him..then the procedure would have been less time consuming.
Nobody noticed the arrival of the man in the tense atmosphere until the man placed a heavy hand on Director Lee's shoulder and said in an authorative voice,"Let Us Negotiate."

Journey of Infinite Steps
Science Fiction/ Low fantasy Iliad. Oliver just wanted a job that could keep his family fed, and himself sane. Was that so much to ask for? Apparently. As he instead ends up facing monsters and dodging his way to another world instead. Competent as he views himself figuring out how to reopen a portal back home by himself is defiantly above his knowledge base. Of coarse it would be vastly simpler if he could keep 'getting back home' as his primary goal. 'Staying alive' is unfortunately a far more immediate and relevant goal. I will post any content warnings on a Per Chapter basis. Divisive content will be as skip-able as I can reasonably manage Discord Link will be available for those interested in assisting editing/ coauthoring. Especially character writers/those willing to work out the math/ economies and world building even if only as a wall to bounce ideas off of.-----Full Synapsis contains serious spoilers----- Looking to take care of his family, Oliver finds himself flung into a faraway place. Try as he might, his Iliad will not be simple or peaceful as he'd like. Alas the slow and unending war of Chaos and Order has long memories and longer reach. If Oliver is to make his way back home it looks like He'll have to solve the universe one fight and mystery at a time. Especially as the Laws of Physics shift, often on a per world basis. Hopefully there is still a home to come back to.
