“Pleasure doing business.”He pushed Emilia roughly forward. “Escort them out. Make sure they’re gone before you come back.” He ordered his men.“You got it, boss.” One replied, waving his gun.“Move.” The second barked, motioning toward the exit.Lord Lucas, his henchman, and Emilia were led at gunpoint back through the corridor and into their car. The goons stood guard as they drove off.They had made it nearly twenty miles before Emilia, still shaking, finally spoke.“I know you’re behind this.” She said to Lord Lucas.Lord Lucas exhaled, gripping the wheel. “I figured that’s what you’d think. But no,I’m not.”“Then explain.” Dhe snapped. “That man inside… he used to work for you, didn’t he?”“Yes.” Lord Lucas admitted. “I fired him months ago. He failed an operation. I didn’t know he had ties to anyone else… but clearly someone else wants you and Jack.”Emilia turned to him, her eyes fierce. “Then we have to go back. We can’t leave Jack.”“Leo’s still in there.”Lord L

Lord Williams' brows were furrowed,his jaw tightened and his lips pressed into a thin line. His coat billowed behind him like a cape. As soon as his eyes landed on the figure lying on the bed, his voice rang out sharply.“Lucas!”The room went silent.Lord Lucas turned his head at the call of his name, eyes narrowing slightly as his brother marched toward him with urgency.Lord Williams closed the distance between them in fast strides. He was a man on fire.But before he could get to the bed, Lord Lucas’s henchman stepped forward instinctively and placed himself between them.“Step aside.” Lord Williams growled.The henchman didn’t budge. But he had no time to react further.Lord Williams shoved him aside, sending him stumbling to the side with a grunt of surprise.Lord Leo raised an eyebrow. Jack took a step forward, just in case.Lord Lucas lifted a weak hand. “Williams, listen to me…please. I wasn’t behind the kidnapping. I swear to you on our father’s grave. I had nothing to do

Jack’s lips curved into a subtle smirk. He tilted his head toward Lord Leo, who sat stiffly, his jaw clenched and his eyes drilling into Commander Briggs like cold fire. The commander, perhaps oblivious to the storm he had just stirred, repeated himself with more force."I said, who the hell is he? And why the hell is he sitting in my office? Get your damn self out of here!"The words had barely left his mouth before Lord Leo stood up with a sudden roar of movement, his palm swinging fast and landing a thunderous slap across the commander’s face. The crack echoed in the room like a whip.Commander Briggs staggered backward, stunned. His eyes widened as he cupped his burning cheek with a trembling hand."Do you even know who this man is?!" Lord Leo barked, his voice heavy with fury. "If you had the slightest idea of who you were addressing, you would be down on your knees, begging for forgiveness!"The commander blinked rapidly, clearly rattled, and swallowed hard before stammering o

Jack and Lord Leo burst out of the Bradley mansion and dove into their sleek black Lamborghini. The engine roared to life with a deep growl as they sped out of the lot, tires screeching against the pavement.Up ahead, Justin Bradley’s silver Lamborghini had already gained a solid head start, weaving recklessly through traffic as he zoomed past red lights and honking vehicles. Jack, clutching the handlebar, glanced over at Lord Leo, who was focused, his eyes hard, jaw clenched.“Do you see him?” Jack called out.“There!” Lord Leo pointed as they caught a glimpse of Justin’s car swerving down a narrow side road.Justin didn’t make it easy. He zigzagged through intersections, nearly side-swiping a city bus. His tires screamed as he turned sharply into an alleyway, hoping to lose his pursuers. Lord Leo kept up, mirroring every reckless turn. Jack’s heart pounded as they narrowly avoided a parked delivery truck.Justin then pulled a sudden maneuver. He skidded onto a gravel path leading

As Lord Leo, Jack, and Justin Bradley sat in the sleek black SUV, a deep silence hovered over them. The tension was thick,each man lost in his own thoughts, eyes focused on the looming Wayne mansion up ahead.Suddenly, Lord Leo leaned forward and reached beneath the passenger seat, pulling out a heavy black case. The metallic latches clicked open, and inside were two Desert Eagle pistols, polished and gleaming. Without a word, he handed one to Jack.Jack raised a brow and immediately shook his head. "No, we don’t need weapons for this. We’re here to talk.”Justin nodded in agreement, his voice strained. "Yeah, I mean,seriously? Guns? What are you, a police officer or something?"Lord Leo gave no answer, his expression was unreadable as his eyes remained fixed on Jack. The silence was answer enough."Fine." Jack grunted, throwing his hands up. "But I’m not carrying that. Give me a sword instead. You know I work better with blades."Lord Leo reached further into the box and retrieve
