Immediately after hearing his brother's accusations about betrayal and deception, that was when the king's brother felt his world spinning completely out of control.His face flushed red with a mixture of rage, confusion, and desperate denial as he tried to make sense of what was happening.“What the hell are you talking about?” he shouted, his voice echoing off the chamber walls with raw emotion. “What the hell did I supposedly start that justifies this ambush?”His hands gestured wildly as he defended himself. “Everything that I have ever done, every single action I have taken, was purely to protect you and your throne!”His voice cracked with what seemed like genuine anguish. “Everything I did was for the betterment of this royal family, for the safety of everybody in this kingdom!”The brother's tone became more desperate and pleading. “But what are you doing to me right now? You're conniving behind my back to literally support and ally with the enemy!”He pointed accusingly at

At that moment, upon hearing the unexpected sound of clapping echoing through what should have been a completely private conversation, that was when the king's brother immediately spun around in alarm.His head swiveled left and right as he scanned every corner of the chamber, his eyes searching desperately for the source of the applause.But he couldn't see anybody anywhere in the room besides himself and his brother, which made the situation even more unsettling.“What did I just hear?” he demanded, his voice filled with confusion and growing panic. “Is somebody actually here in this room with us?”His tone became more urgent as the implications of being overheard hit him.“Who else has been listening to our conversation?”Then that was when the king, still seated calmly in his chair, shook his head with what appeared to be resignation mixed with something that might have been disappointing.“I'm sorry to have to tell you this,” the king said, his voice carrying an odd tone that his

At that moment, after listening to all of his brother's arguments about family unity, military strategy, and the promise of ending multiple conflicts, the king finally began to see a path forward through his grief and anger.“So, if I literally join you in all of this planning and give you my royal approval,”he said slowly, working through the implications in his mind, “that simply means my beloved son, the prince, is finally going to get the revenge and justice he deserves.”His voice grew stronger as he continued. “That simply means I will not have to live in fear of the Supreme King's manipulation and threats anymore.”The king's expression became more hopeful. “I will be able to effectively guarantee that this kingdom is going to be very, very peaceful and won't literally be trapped in chaos and constant warfare anymore.”He leaned forward with growing conviction. “And most importantly, it's going to be properly protected from all external and internal threats.”But then the ki

At that moment, the king remained seated in his chair, looking utterly shocked and completely overwhelmed by everything that had just been revealed to him.He was utterly unprepared for these revelations, wasn't expecting to hear any of this information from his own brother, the person he had trusted more than anyone else in the kingdom.His mind was spinning with the implications of learning that his brother had been secretly running a militant organization, that most of his family were involved, and that everything he thought he knew about the ongoing conflicts might be built on lies.Then he took a deep breath, trying to steady himself and find words adequate to express the chaos of emotions swirling inside him.“Ah, I don't really know what to say at this moment,” he finally admitted, his voice sounding tired and confused. “This is all so much to process, so many secrets revealed all at once.”Then immediately, seeing his brother's hesitation and the uncertainty written all over

“Brother, you need to make your decision right now,” he said, his voice carrying both urgency and finality.“The prince cannot be allowed to go unavenged like this, and we absolutely cannot allow the Supreme King to continue having his way with our family and our kingdom.”Then the king's brother, seeing his sibling sitting there in stunned silence trying to process everything that had been revealed, decided to press his advantage and make his final push.“Brother, listen to me very carefully,” he said, his voice taking on an edge of urgency that demanded immediate attention.“It is now or never. This is the critical moment where everything hangs in the balance.”His expression grew more intense as he continued. “It is either you make your decision right now, in this very moment, or you are not going to get the opportunity to bring down the Supreme King at all.”The brother leaned forward with deadly seriousness. “Because this window of opportunity won't stay open forever, and if we

At that moment, upon hearing what his brother had just revealed about having evidence and connections to the real Circle, that was when the king felt his legs give way beneath him.He was so shocked by the implications of what he was hearing that he couldn't help but slowly lower himself back into his seat, his mind reeling from this new information.He sat there facing his brother directly, his eyes wide with a mixture of disbelief and growing understanding.“So you are telling me that you are actually the founder of the Circle?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.The weight of this revelation seemed to settle on his shoulders as he processed what this meant for everything he thought he knew about the ongoing conflicts in his kingdom. Then his brother looked directly at him and nodded his head with complete seriousness and conviction.“Yes, I am,” he confirmed without any hesitation in his voice. “And everything that I have done, every action I have taken, has been to prote

CHAPTER 544THE VERDICT 'You're under arrest, Mr Richard. Let me see your hands,' the chief of police demanded, his voice loud and stern.The senator knew at that point that there was no way to escape. He had been exposed, and the only thing left to do was to accept his fate.He raised his hands and was handcuffed while the other police officers pushed him further along.'You can't do this, please! There must be another way,' Jessica managed to say, though she wasn't sure what she was saying.The evidence was everywhere and she knew she wouldn't be able to avoid this one.Her husband was in trouble, and if she wasn't careful, she was going to get caught up in it too.By the time they came out of the house, everyone in the estate had gathered to witness the commotion. They stood with shocked expressions on their faces.The senator, who had just expressed his desire to become governor, was now handcuffed and being taken away by the police.It was a completely new experience for everyon

CHAPTER 543SHAMEJudge West was ashamed when he looked at his son.He had never been so angry about anything in his life. He was so furious that he felt like murdering someone to quell his anger.He was sitting in his house, about to finalise a deal, when the authorities burst in and began arresting everyone.This had never happened before, and it didn't take long to realise that it was his foolish son who had done it, exposing him to forces too big to tear down.'Father, what's going on, and why are you handcuffed like a criminal?' Andrew asked, his eyes filled with confusion.He had thought that, once he got to the police station, he would just call his father and everything would be settled. But what he was witnessing was a big shock that he couldn't explain.What was he going to do without his father, who had always been a pillar of support and shed light on his path?The road ahead seemed slippery and dark, and for the first time, he was scared of what the future might hold."Fa

CHAPTER 542DEFEATED "Suit yourself, but you're done for, and there's nothing you can do about it. You can try everything you know, but it won't work," Jeremy said confidently to Andrew. He made sure that he left no stone unturned.Everything that had happened had made Jeremy exasperated and he was ready to get justice.He had worked too hard to allow Andrew to be released so easily. He wasn't going to allow it. He was going to make the man suffer for everything he had put him through."You don't know what you're doing. If you did, you would stop now. I come from one of the most powerful families in New York, and you will not walk free from what you have done." Andrew muttered angrily to Jeremy.He couldn't believe that his control over those powerful men had been reduced to nothing. He was handcuffed like a common criminal; his father would be so disappointed to see him like this. This was a big disgrace to a man of his standing.He needed to think of an escape plan. He could not al

CHAPTER 541APPREHENDED Jeremy came outside and looked at the boss. They maintained eye contact for a while before Jeremy spoke with realisation "I actually knew that you were part of the circle, but I wanted to be sure before making any moves. Now it has come to light," Jeremy muttered with a smirk.He had his doubts, but after some research and conversations, he discovered that he was on the right track.Andrew,his father's butler had been the circus master all along while he was acting as though he had his back and wanted the best for him."After I spoke to you, you said something in that direction, but you quickly diverted it. I knew that something was wrong. I paid more attention whenever we spoke, but I didn't want to take drastic steps without solid evidence, because i knew that men like you could easily escape the law and i didn't want to take any chances. Now that we have proof, you will go down," Jeremy added. He was disgusted by Andrew.He was even surprised himself to se

CHAPTER 540FOLLOW THE TRAILS The circus boss started laughing to himself; he couldn't believe he had missed it. The answer he had been craving had been right in front of him the whole time, but he just hadn't noticed.For him, this was the connection he had been searching for, and there was no way he wasn't going to get what he wanted.The owner of the school, Mr Philip, must have known something, or rather, received the support he needed, which was why he thought he could challenge him.Although he was angry with the senator for his mistake, there was no reason why Mr Philip couldn't be involved.The situation was complex, but all he wanted to do was unravel the connection and iron out the kinks.He took out his phone and dialled a number; his patience was wearing thin and he just wanted to do something quickly.'Hello boss, at your service,' a man at the other end quickly answered, his voice filled with humility and loyalty.'Do you know Mr Philip's house? He's the owner of the bi

CHAPTER 539NEW DISCOVERY "What have I done? The Senator asked in awe, his mouth open in anger.It wasn't what he had expected Mr Raymond to say and the word alone had left him distraught."Don't you dare point the finger at me Raymond, I wasn't the one who was greedy and wanted twenty percent of someone else's profits. It was your selfishness and greed that brought us to where we are now". The Senator condemned, his tone firm with accusation.He wasn't going to accept Raymond's words and how he wanted to paint him as the bad guy. He had seen the signs and he wouldn't accept it."Greed, you say? You don't have the right to call me greedy. You wanted the governorship and you didn't care who you hurt as long as you got it. You're practically the reason we're in this mess," Mr Raymond fired back at the Senator.He was furious that the Senator was trying to use his involvement with Mr Philip to pin the blame on him.The indulgence of Mr Philip couldn't be the reason why things were going

Immediately he paused to gather his thoughts before continuing with his explanation.“The truth is that I have been extremely busy with some very serious life matters, complications and dangerous situations that have required my complete focus and attention every single day,” he continued, trying to convey the gravity of his circumstances without revealing too many specific details. “I have been dealing with threats and problems that are so intense and all-consuming that I honestly didn't have the mental space to properly maintain contact with anyone, even people who are very important to me.”His tone became more earnest as he tried to make amends.“But that is absolutely no excuse for treating you the way I have, and I want you to know that I am going to make time to come see you very soon, I am going to look for an opportunity in my schedule to visit you properly and make up for all this neglect.” He tried to inject some hope into his voice. “I promise that I will find time to c

Raymond was sitting quietly in his secure location, his mind deeply occupied with contemplating the various strategies and approaches he was going to need to employ in dealing with Jefferson's grandfather and the inevitable retaliation that he knew was coming his way like a storm gathering on the horizon.He understood with crystal clarity that Jefferson's grandfather had literally witnessed what had happened to Jefferson, had seen his beloved grandson's life come to an end, and Raymond had no illusions whatsoever about the old man's current state of mind or his burning desire for vengeance.The calculating patriarch was undoubtedly consumed with rage and plotting his revenge, waiting patiently for the perfect moment to strike back and make him pay dearly for what he had done to their precious, albeit completely worthless and spoiled son who had brought nothing but trouble and chaos wherever he went.But at the same time, Raymond also knew with complete confidence that no matter what

Wouldn't his father potentially be extremely mad at him for not allowing him to orchestrate this kidnapping in the proper, careful way he had been planning, for creating a rushed and potentially sloppy situation that could leave evidence or witnesses or other complications?What exactly was he supposed to do in this impossible situation where both action and inaction seemed to carry significant risks?His hand tightened around the phone as the seconds ticked by with agonizing slowness while the man on the other end waited for instructions.Should he just give the definitive go-ahead right now for them to move in immediately and kidnap Malisa while this golden opportunity was presenting itself, while she was vulnerable and alone and available?At that moment, as the tension and urgency of the situation continued to build with every passing second, the person on the phone spoke up again with clear impatience in their voice, knowing that opportunities like this one could disappear in an

At that moment, the person on the other end of the line responded with a careful, measured tone that indicated he was fully aware of the delicate situation he had just walked into by calling at this particular time.“Well, I didn't come here to make any sort of gesture at you or to pile on more problems to whatever you are clearly dealing with right now,” the voice said diplomatically, trying to navigate around Jefferson's father's obvious bad mood. “And it definitely seems from your tone that you are having an extremely bad day, one of those days where everything seems to be going wrong all at once, and I certainly have no intention of adding to your stress or making your bad day even worse than it already is.”The person paused briefly before getting to the actual point of the urgent call.“But despite the timing being less than ideal, I need you to understand that I have something extremely important to talk to you about right now, something that cannot wait until tomorrow or even

At that moment, after the phone call had been dropped and the dangerous deal had been sealed between two men whose agreement existed entirely outside the boundaries of law and human decency, Jefferson's father stood alone in the quiet hallway and allowed himself a brief moment of cold, hard reflection about the path he had just committed himself to walking without any possibility of turning back.He thought to himself with grim and unwavering resolve that well, sometimes a man simply needs to play dirty to survive in this world, that sometimes the polite rules and moral boundaries that ordinary civilized society expects people to follow become completely irrelevant luxuries when everything you have ever worked for and everything you believe you are entitled to by birthright is being threatened simultaneously by forces both inside and outside your own family.The question that burned most intensely in the back of his mind was devastatingly simple yet absolutely critical in its implicat

At that moment, as Jefferson's father continued speaking with determination and urgency into the phone, the man on the other end of the line responded with the confident, measured tone of someone who had done this kind of dangerous work many times before and knew exactly what he was getting himself into."Well, you have absolutely nothing to worry about when it comes to my capabilities or my discretion," the man said smoothly, his voice carrying the self-assurance of a professional who took pride in his dark craft. "You know me very well by now, and you know exactly what I am capable of doing when properly motivated and given clear instructions."There was a slight pause before he continued with even more emphasis."And you should also know by now that I will not treat this assignment like some kind of game or joke, and I certainly will not allow myself to get caught or fucked up over any operation I undertake, because my reputation and my freedom depend on maintaining the highest lev
