CHAPTER 71
Mr Freeman's question had again thrown almost everyone who was there off balance, even Lord Marcus and his wife, Lady Cara Marcus.Lord Marcus, who had been hovering protectively near his wife, interjected now, his voice steady but laced with concern. He had actually been the cause of the whole thing, if he and his wife hadn't actually called in Lord Xander and his goons, Rico, the leader of his Black Dragon Syndicate group, all this wouldn't have actually happened to begin with.He adjusted his glasses, glancing nervously at the horizon where the McLaren's wreckage was still smoking hot.The McLaren wreckage, although it was far from where they were, was still very much visible to them at the moment, the smoke from the car was still very much visible."Indeed, Master West. My wife and I were terrified during the exchange. We thought the heirloom was genuine—how did you substitute it? And poor Laura... treacherous as she was, that end was gruesome."“I would have said too gruesome bu
CHAPTER 72
The situation was intense and palpable as Mr Freeman, Tape and Lily stared at Victor Langston West as he carried and pushed Lord Xander and Rico, the leader of the leader of the Black Dragon Syndicate group owned by Lord Xander.As Victor Langston West held Rico who was now sweating and Lord Xander to the pitch black SUV Chevrolet, he held his gun against them.“Rico, you and Lord Xander have one chance to make this move, get to make a move, open the door of the pitch black SUV Chevrolet with your finger print or I will be forced to blow them fingers off!” Victor Langston West's voice was cold and detached.He was now taking matters into his own hands.Behind Mr Freeman, Tape and Lily were now together. Lily and Tape were still bleeding out profusely from the wound which the now dead Laura Morris had inflicted on them.Tape slowly winced and stared at Victor Langston West, who is now called Master West, Mr Freeman was still on his phone trying to find out what was actually holding Doc
CHAPTER 73
Just then Tape shifted slightly, wincing as the movement tugged at his wound.His eyes, though already reeking with pain, were sharp with curiosity. “But Mr. Freeman, you’ve seen Master West pull off some crazy stuff already. That C-4 trick with the heirloom? I mean, come on, that was straight out of a movie.”“Blew Laura Morris sky-high. You really think he’s misjudging this one?” His voice was barely above whispers, it was just as if he was trying to make sure that Victor Langston West who is now being called Master West doesn't actually hear him talk at the moment. To Victor Langston West, Tape and Lily were down and really needed medical attention while he himself was working hard to crack down on Lord Xander and Rico, the leader of his Black Dragon Syndicate group.Mr Freeman immediately giggled softly, a dry, weathered sound that carried both amusement and respect. “Oh, don’t get me wrong, Tape. Master West’’s sharp—sharper than most I’ve worked with in my time.”“That stunt w
CHAPTER 74
Mr Freeman shook his head a little bit before continuing with his words, “Tape, and every time, we’ve come out on top—not because we’re stronger or richer, but because we’re smarter, more determined, and we’ve got heart.” “The whole West family is kind of indomitable, well respected and admired by all others, and also very powerful.” Mr Freeman immediately said, his voice was laced with a mixture of authority and determination as he spoke. Lily, who had been listening intently despite her pain, managed a small smile on her face immediately. “That’s a lot of history, Mr. Freeman. Makes me wonder—what’s so special about this family heirloom everyone’s after?” “I’ve heard rumors, you know. People say it’s powerful enough to destroy humanity. Is that true, or is it just some fancy trinket everyone’s hyping up?” “Are all those just rumours being peddled by people… all over the place?” Lily immediately asked, her voice was laced with a mix of determination and curiosity, and she
CHAPTER 75
Mr Freeman immediately smiled at Lily before touching her silver blonde hair slowly, almost toggling it. Mr Freeman then stared at Tape before adding. “The list goes on, Lily. The Black Lotus in the ‘80s, the Order of the Eclipse in the ‘90s, the Syndicate of Dawn in the 2000s—each one thought they could take what’s ours, and each one failed.” “Not because the heirloom itself is some world-ending weapon, but because the West family knows how to protect what’s theirs.” “The heirloom’s power isn’t in destruction—it’s in the unity it inspires, the legacy it carries. That’s what keeps us fighting.” Mr Freeman immediately said, his voice was laced with a mix of determination and authority as he spoke. Tape, his eyes wide with awe, shook his head. “That’s… incredible, Mr. Freeman. I mean, all those villains, all those years, and the West family’s still standing. But how’d you end up picking me and Lily for this?” “I mean, we’re just a couple of street kids who got lucky. What made you
CHAPTER 76
The situation was intense and palpable as Mr Freeman, Tape and Lily waiting for the West family medical team to arrive stared at Victor Langston West.Mr Freeman already knew that this tactic used by Victor Langston West, who he called Master West could work or it couldn't work at the moment.Slowly Mr Freeman immediately walked over to Victor Langston West and immediately touched him by his shoulder, by now Victor Langston West, who is also called Master West, was still holding Lord Xander and Rico, the leader of his Black Dragon Syndicate group trying to make them talk at the moment.“Mr Freeman, I thought I told you to let me handle these delinquents?” Victor Langston West immediately asked, his voice was laced with a mixture of authority and determination as he spoke. He had these eyes that would tell Mr Freeman, Tape and Lily that he was damn serious about retrieving the access logs from Rico and Lord Xander, his boss.Mr Freeman immediately bowed his head as he stared at Victor
CHAPTER 77
No one actually knows why Lily had the same name as Lily West, the mystery little sister of Victor Langston West, now called Master West, who Victor Langston West only got to know about after he was saved from Mr Jackson's penitentiary by Mr Freeman, it was also this same Mr Freeman who had told him about his missing sister, Lily West.Is there a mystery between Lily who is the friend of Tape and Lily West, the missing little sister of Victor Langston West, who is also now called Master West.Victor Langston West’s lips immediately moved into a rare, approving smirk, his mind flashing back to the explosion that took Laura Morris.That bitch thought she could play us with her traps and her smug grin, he internalized, the memory fueling his resolve like gasoline on embers.“Laura Morris… remember her, all of you? That fire in the McLaren—her screaming as the C-4 I planted turned her little ambush into her funeral pyre. I didn’t just kill her; I ended her legend. She was Lord Vandel and
CHAPTER 78
Victor Langston West immediately took a very deep breath as he stared at the phone which was still on loud speaker at the moment. Victor Langston West wanted to add more yells and shouts to the Doctor Anna and the rest of her West family medical team but as soon as he stared at Tape, Lily and Mr Freeman he somewhat for some weird reason decided to let it go almost immediately. “I know, I know! Mercy, Victor Langston West, please—traffic’s a nightmare, but we’re flooring it. Front of Cars luxury store, right? I see the smoke plume. ETA one minute!” Doctor Anna immediately begged, her voice trembling with genuine fear and urgency. God, if I lose Lily because of this gridlock, Master West’ll never forgive me, she thought to herself almost immediately, swerving around a barricade. Tape muttered, “Hang in there, Doc Anna. We need you.” Lily added weakly, “Hurry… but drive safe,we really need you here at the moment, Doctor Anna, you and the West family medical.” Lily's voice was lac
CHAPTER 79
Lord Xander slowly looked at Rico, the leader of his Black Dragon Syndicate group. “Hey Rico, can't this actually wait, I don't want to get into any more trouble with Master West at the moment.” Lord Xander immediately said, his voice was laced with a mixture of confusion and anxiety. To be frank he had really had a lot for the day, at this point he really wished all this would just end and he would have gone for the night. At some point he had considered running away but that would do him no good at the moment. As Rico, the leader of his Black Dragon Syndicate got closer, he began to look closely at the face of his boss, Lord Xander, the main owner of the Black Dragon Syndicate group, but if the truth is being told correctly, Lord Xander actually have more than three more crime Syndicates which he runs. “Rico, what is it? Why the heck is your face like that?” “You don't want to get on the bad side of Master West at the moment do you?” Lord Xander immediately asked, his voice w
CHAPTER 80
Rico’s eyes immediately widened. “The heirloom… what the hell is it, really?” Rico, the leader of Lord Xander's Black Dragon Syndicate group, immediately asked again.Lord Xander exhaled through his teeth almost immediately. “The West family heirloom isn’t a thing, Rico. It’s a key. To what, exactly? Even though I don't know the full scope, I sat across from Lord Vandel while he ranted about it for hours.”“But here’s what the oldest Black Dragon scrolls say—whispers from Triad allies who crossed the Wests in the Opium Wars. The shard Étienne stole?”“It’s a fragment of the Obsidian Mirror, crafted in Teotihuacan around a thousand years old. The Aztecs believed it showed not the future, but every possible future branching from the viewer’s bloodline.”“Hold it, bleed on it, and it binds the family’s willpower into a single current. Decisions become… inevitable. Armies route themselves. Markets crash at the exact second a West shorts them.”“Lovers betray at the perfect moment. It’s n
