47 ck Hand
When Ss saw Mr Williams on the caller ID, he could already guess the reason for the call.
"Hello Mr Williams."
"Mr Ss, I just went through the information you sent to me. If I may ask, how did you get all this information?," The curious voice of Mr Williams'' came from the other end of the phone.
Ss smiled when he heard this.
''You''re asking how I got the information? If I really do tell you, would you believe me?''
"Mr Williams, I have my ways around things. What I would like to know is if there''s anything new you found after going through the information sent to you?," Ss asked, and the line went silent for some seconds before Ss heard a sigh.
"Mr Ss, I think we should just let this case rest. We should forget about thewsuit," Mr Williams said with a heavy voice.
Ss was surprised when he heard this.
"What do you mean by forget about the case? How possible do you think that is?"
Even though Ss felt that the issue surrounding Daniel''s father has more to it than what meets the eye, he feels that it''s not enough reason for him to just drop the case.
"Mr Ss, I''m not sure if you have gone through the information yourself but there''s something I learned after going through it and it''s because of that, I''m telling you to forget about the case," Mr Williams said, trying to convince Ss.
"What is this thing, Mr Williams?" Ss asked, with his curiosity piqued after he heard what Mr Williams said.
"Mr Ss, it seems like Mr Lucas has an acquaintance with someone in the infamous ck Hand organization," Mr Williams said, and paused to let what he said sink in.
Hearing what Mr Williams said, Ss was surprised and confused.
''ck Hand? Why have I not heard of such an organization before, even working in the casino, a gathering ce for criminals and all sorts of shady people.''
Mr Williams noticed Ss'' silence and understood that his client might have never heard of the organization before.
"Mr Ss, it seems that you have never heard of the organization before. That''s fine because they are not actually one to go around parading their identity in the public, as they prefer to stay in the shadows."
"The ck Hand is an extremely terrifying organization. It''s an organization that consists of most of the world''s top wealthy, influential and politically affluent individuals.
The members of the organization enjoy massive privileges as they are actually above whateverws any country has. This is even possible for the lowest ranking members of the organization."
Ss was extremely shocked by what he heard. An infamous world renowned organization that he has never heard of.
How is that even possible? If they are world-infamous, at least some news and information about them should be readily avable to the general poption, or has he been living under a rock.
"Mr Williams, do this mean that we can''t charge him?," Ss asked in exasperation.
"Mr Ss, just like I said before, we should forget about thewsuit. We don''t know how close Mr Lucas'' rtionship is with his acquaintance in ck Hand. Neither do we know the level of his acquaintance''s standing in the organization and the organization isn''t something a small-time attorney like me can handle" Mr Williams said, expressing his fears.
Ss smiled in understanding when he heard this. From the little information that Mr Williams has given, he knew that Mr Williams fear is not something unfounded.
Though he felt it might be somewhat exaggerated but it''s still better to be cautious.
From the information Mr Williams gave him about the organization, Ss knew that if everything is true, then going against the organization would definitely be a losing game and a suicidal action.
But, instead of Ss feeling scared, he was getting excited about seeing some action after a very long time of severe boredom.
Another reason he wasn''t scared is because he felt that the organization won''te after him since the rtionship between Daniel''s father and the member of the organization is only that of acquaintances. Besides, he felt that he would be able to easily be a member of the organization, if he wants to.
But those are only his thoughts. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Mr Williams, the reason why you''re saying that we should forget about thewsuit is because you''re scared of being targeted by the organization, right?"
"Yes."
"Mr Williams, you don''t need to worry. Just proceed with thewsuit, I will take of the rest," Ss said, as he tried to reassure Mr Williams.
"M-Mr Ss, what do you intend to do?," Mr Williams asked suspiciously.
"Mr Williams, you don''t need to worry about that. All I need you to do is to continue preparing everything for thewsuit and I want thewsuit to be filed by the end of the month," Ss said, as a not-so-good smile crept up to his face.
"Mr Ss, I will do as you say but please, be careful."
"You don''t need to worry, Mr Williams, it''s nothing dangerous."
''What do you mean by forget about thewsuit?''
''ck Hand. I wonder if it''s exactly like the organization I think it is.''
Ss smiled as he thought of this.

Mr Williams'' office.
Mr Williams who was in his office was massaging his temple, as he thought of the new information he got after going through what Ss sent to him, and also his unsettling conversation with Ss.
After working as an attorney for so many years, he has developed the sixth sense for danger and suspicious things, and Mr Lucas has always been one of the most suspicious to him and had always given him a strong sense of unease.
He could remember vividly one of his clients, one of Mr Lucas'' numerous cases.
All relevant evidence was gathered and they had already prepared a strong case against Mr Lucas only for him to be acquitted with a flimsy excuse of him having an alibi.
This was even with the ring CCTV tape that was submitted as evidence but the chief justice said that the tape has been doctored.
The girl and her family didn''t receive the justice they deserved as Lucas walked free.
Mr Williams, seeing the defeated and tearing expression on his client''s faces, felt very angry and ashamed of himself.
He saw how hard the girl and her mother cried, and how all her father could do was to lower his head into his palm.
Days after the verdict was passed, The image of the girl and her mother shedding tears profusely kept surfacing in his head and after a long time, Mr Williams felt that he couldn''t take it anymore, and he went to visit them to advise them to submit an appeal.
Surprisingly for him, he was chased out of their house when he got there. When he was chased out, he looked at their faces and he could see the unconcealed fear in their eyes, and it didn''t take a genius to understand that there was something more to it.
It''s been years since that incident happened and now he''s in another Mr Lucas'' situation, but this time, it''s extremelyplicated.
The introduction of the ck Hand organization into the pictureplicates everything and also the fact that the State Justices, Oand city mayor, the captain of Oand Police Department and other big names in the city might be involved in this made him feel like he''s about to stir up a massive ho nest.
"Sigh… Hope I didn''t sell my life and that of everyone around me for $22 million?"

Ss has finished going through what LUNAR sent to him and he only felt that the situation was bing more interesting.
"LUNAR, are you there?"
{Yes, sir.}
"Have you gathered the information I asked you to?"
{I''m almost done with it ,sir. It''s just taking longer than expected.}
"It''s fine, take your time. There''s something I want you to do, I want you to get me every information rted to the organization called ck Hand.
Also, I want you to create a trojan and nt it in every devices used by the people you hacked into. Is that possible?"
{Very easy, sir.}
"Good, let me know when you''re done," Ss said, and cut offmunication with LUNAR.
