Mr Freeman immediately took a deep breath and stared at Doctor Anna and her assistant Doctor Alvin, Victor Langston West who is now called Master West immediately took a deep breath and stared at Tape and Lily.“Hey you two get well soon, I'm going to be needing you two in at your full health status as we talked with Lord Xander and Rico on the best possible plan of attacks on Lord Vandel and his evil granddaughter Tai Vandel.” Victor Langston West immediately said as he walked out the door of the West family medical van to go meet Lord Xander and Rico.As they approached, Mr Freeman immediately took a deep breath and stared at Victor Langston West, “Master West, are we sure this is a good idea?” His voice was laced with a mixture of confusion and anxiety.Victor Langston West immediately stared at him and said, "Mr Freeman, we have actually talked about this extensively back there in the medical van. You yourself laid out the strategic framework.”“You called it controlled demolition

Rico, the leader of Lord Xander's henchmen immediately took a deep breath as he heard what Victor Langston West had actually asked, his face was etched in shock and bewilderment as he stared at Lord Xander, his boss and the leader of the Black Dragon Syndicate group. Lord Xander immediately took a deep breath and stared at Victor Langston West and Mr Freeman, “Master West and Mr Freeman, the access logs to find Lord Vandel and his evil granddaughter, Tai Vandel are right on my computer in my Black SUV.” “But we do actually have one bit of a little bit of demand at the moment.” He immediately said, His voice was barely above whispers as he spoke. Mr Freeman and Victor Langston West who is now called Master West immediately looked at each other. Mr Freeman had this ‘I warned you before' kind look on his face at the moment as he stared at the face of Victor Langston West who he now addressed as Master West. Victor Langston West immediately took a deep breath and stared at both Lord

Before Lord Xander could respond, Lord Xander's voice cut through the night air. Both men turned to find that Master West and Mr Freeman had closed the distance more than they'd realized. Lord Xander's expression was unreadable, but his voice carried the weight of someone who'd been in this game far too long to play coy."That's actually an intelligent question, Rico," Mr Freeman immediately said from behind, his tone surprisingly respectful. "And it deserves an honest answer, not a political one. So let me be very clear about the West family's intentions, and you can judge for yourself whether we're being truthful."Victor Langston West stood beside him, silent but attentive, clearly willing to let Mr Freeman handle this particular negotiation."First," Mr Freeman began, "let's acknowledge the elephant in the room. Yes, the West family has the capability to eliminate the Black Dragon Syndicate once this operation concludes.”<

“Exactly," Lord Xander confirmed, clearly pleased that Victor understood so quickly. "But it goes deeper than that. Because the politicians aren't just being bribed—they're being managed. Lord Vandel has a system for categorizing them: the True Believers who genuinely support his agenda, the Opportunists who just want money and power, the Cowards who comply because they're afraid, and the Compromised who have no choice because he owns their darkest secrets." He navigated through several folders, pulling up a document tagged ASSET_CLASSIFICATION_POLITICAL. "This file breaks down every politician in his network by category, shows how much leverage he has over each one, indicates which ones are most reliable and which ones might flip if the pressure gets too intense. It even has contingency plans for what to do if specific individuals become liabilities." Mr Freeman leaned in closer, his experienced eyes scanning the document. "This is incredibly detailed." "It has to be," Lord X

Rico and Lord Xander immediately laughed before continuing. "Tension we can absolutely exploit," Rico agreed immediately, enthusiastically. "Because if you can create situations where Tai has to choose between her grandfather's approval and her own judgment, she'll be paralyzed by indecision.” “And if you can make it look like Lord Vandel is undermining her or doesn't trust her, you can drive a wedge between them that fractures the entire organization." Lord Xander nodded as he stared at Mr Freeman. "The succession question is Lord Vandel's biggest blind spot. He's so focused on ensuring Tai Vandel can maintain his empire after he's gone that he's failed to consider whether she actually wants to. Or whether she might resent the burden he's placing on her.” “Or whether she might see an opportunity to restructure the organization in ways that serve her vision rather than his." He pulled up another section of the file. "There are notes in here suggesting that Tai has occasionall
