Mr Freeman and Victor Langston West immediately nodded slowly as Lord Xander immediately continued."But as I compiled this information," Lord Xander continued, "I realized I had something more valuable than just personal insurance. I had a weapon.”"A weapon that could be used to actually bring down Lord Vandel's empire, to free not just myself but dozens of people who are trapped in the Syndicate, who want out but can't leave because they're too valuable or know too much.""So when we heard about the West family's inquiry into Lord Vandel's operations," Rico added, "when we learned that you were putting together an operation against him, it felt like fate.”“Like maybe there was actually a way to use this intelligence for something more than just personal survival. Like maybe we could actually help take down someone who genuinely deserves it while also securing our own freedom in the process."Mr Freeman's expression had shifted during this explanation, becoming less skeptical and m

“Nanny Louis, I've been in contact with a special prosecutor at the federal level—someone who specializes in organized crime and racketeering.” Victor Langston West immediately said.“I've provided them with preliminary information about the Syndicate, about Lord Vandel's operations, enough to pique their interest without revealing our sources.""If this operation succeeds, if we manage to bring down Lord Vandel using the intelligence Lord Xander has provided, that prosecutor is ready to move immediately on the evidence we've gathered," Victor said. "But here's the key part…the prosecution won't be limited to Lord Vandel. It will extend to everyone involved in his organization, including Lord Xander and Rico.""That's right," Victor Langston West immediately said, seeing the surprise in Nanny Louis's eyes. "Even if they help us take down Lord Vandel, even if their intelligence proves genuine and valuable, they're still going to face justice for their crimes. The deal I've made with t

Victor Langston West who was now a bit more shocked by all that he was hearing at the moment.Nanny Louis was now still getting started as she seemed to be having more information than Mr Freeman at the moment."Master West, we also have crime number five," she pressed on. "The witness elimination program, ongoing for at least eight years. Lord Xander maintains what amounts to a systematic assassination operation targeting anyone who might testify against Syndicate members.”“Rico manages the intelligence gathering—tracking potential witnesses, determining what they know, assessing the threat level they represent.""I have personal knowledge of at least fifteen people killed as part of this program," Nanny Louis said, her voice dropping lower. "And these weren't quick deaths. Lord Xander believes in making examples.”“One witness—a woman who'd seen a Syndicate operation in her neighborhood—was abducted from her home. They tortured her for three days, trying to find out if she'd told a

Victor Langston West immediately took a deep breath and stared at Nanny Louis.“Master West, I was completely attacked a lot of times…”"The sixth assassination attempt came six months into this period," she continued. "They'd apparently decided my backing off wasn't sufficient—they wanted me dead to ensure I'd never resurrect the investigation. This attempt was a car bomb placed under my vehicle while I was at a grocery store.""I survived because of a random malfunction," Nanny Louis explained. "The bomb was sophisticated, designed to detonate when the ignition was turned. But something went wrong with the trigger mechanism.”“When I started my car, nothing happened. I felt something was off—call it instinct—and I immediately got out and walked away. The bomb detonated thirty seconds later, completely destroying my car and damaging several nearby vehicles. If it had worked as intended, I'd have been killed instantly.”“The seventh assassination attempt was psychological rather than

But as soon as she saw the seriousness on the face of Victor Langston West, who is now called Master West, she decided to not laugh it out again. She immediately decided to stay put and continued explaining to Victor Langston West what she was talking about.“Master West, employers want to know you're not a criminal or a threat to their children, but they're not conducting the kind of deep investigation that would uncover my real identity. My falsified records showing psychological issues that led to medical retirement actually worked in my favor—employers saw me as someone who'd been through trauma but was now seeking simple, honest work.”"For the first five years after leaving law enforcement, I worked for eleven different families," Nanny Louis recounted almost immediately, her voice laced with a mixture of authority and determination as she spoke."Each position was chosen strategically. I worked for a banker whose institution I suspected was laundering money for various criminal
