CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO“I already told you who I am.” Elias retorted, and then he unbuckled Leo’s seatbelt for him.“I need you to step out of the car, Leo. Don’t try to play smart, I am going to kill you without blinking an eyelid.”Leo hesitated. “Do you know who I am?!” He barked, trying to hold onto his valor, but that only brought him pain.Elias slammed the back of the gun to his head, causing him to grunt in pain.Blood began to ooze from the side of his head, and he moved his head to feel the bleeding.“Do you realize who you are messing with? I will get you killed!” Leo threatened, but when Elias pointed the gun to his face again, he gasped, gulping hard saliva.“We are in the middle of nowhere, Leo. I am sure you know what that means. You are not a fool.”Leo took a deep breath, and then he alighted from the car while Elias joined him.“On your knees.” Elias ordered, but that seemed like the last thing Leo was prepared to do.“That’s not going to happen!” Leo growled, but the mom

CHAPTER FIFTY-FOURElias was forced to ready the message again to be sure that he was not mistaking, and it ended up being the same thing.His heart began to beat faster, and turning to his wife, he cleared his throat, struggling to suppress the sensation that intensely gripped him.He clenched the phone tightly in his hand, taking another deep breath.Then Elena ended her call, turning to look at him.“Guess what?!” She seemed very excited to speak to her husband about her call with Mario, but seeing the expression on his face before he could get rid of it, she couldn’t stop herself from getting very worried.“What is it, Elias? Don’t tell me that you are thinking about your mother again.” She forgot about what she seemed very eager to speak to him about, drawing close until she was close enough to sit on the bed.“What happened?” She asked, and when her eyes were about to move to the screen of the phone, Elias shifted the phone away slowly.She looked at it even when he had slid it

CHAPTER FIFTY-SIXElias looked around him, attempting to get a grip on himself.Anger and pain rippled through his veins as he scoured the entire place.That was what looked like a forest with a damaged building in the middle of it.The only clear path was where they parked, and grasses had already sprouted all over the place.“This was where you buried my mother?” Elias looked back at the men, his eyes glaring with so much annoyance.“I…” Morgan stuttered, knowing that he was the one at the most fault.“I had no choice, Godfather.” He took a deep breath, but that was still not enough to grant him relief.“I had to bury her at once, and I couldn’t do it in a proper way.” He realized that his explanation was only going to make things worse for him, so he decided not to say any other thing.Leo on the other hand had realized that things were soon going to become chaotic for him.Even in his silence, he was still gripped by a rising tension, the kind that made his heart beat faster, and

CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHTMorgan froze, his entre body submitting itself to the subjugation that sprouted from the Godfather.Leo had waited for Morgan to pull the trigger, but a minute was gone, and he was yet to hear the sound of a gunshot.“What the hell are you waiting for?!” He groaned, attempting to get on his knees.But the pain was too much, forcing him back to the ground.“Shoot him, you fool! Shoot him!” He pointed at Morgan, but when his subordinate seemed to have lost his entire courage, he collapsed back to the ground, panting heavily.“I am surrounded by idiots!” He groaned, blowing hot air from his mouth and nostrils.Morgan remained the way he was, iced by terror.His eyes couldn’t close, but his lids kept on flickering like they were attempting to fan him back to life.Elias grabbed the gun from him, and even though he knew that he was no longer holding his gun, his hands were still up, held up in the air.Elias forced the muzzle into Morgan’s mouth, causing him to muffle h

CHAPTER SIXTYWith an agreement reached on how best to tackle the situation that silenced the entire Empire , Lucian and his companions were set to leave Clachmoor for the palace with the General who was glad that they were ready to make such a huge sacrifice for the King.“Please be safe, Brother Lucian . I want you to return safely back to me.” Lena said with a tone laced with so much concern while she stood in front of her brother, ready to bid him farewell.“You don’t need to be worried about me, Lena. It pains me that I am leaving you all alone again. But I assure you that I will return as soon as I can, and you will get the cure for your eyes. You have my word.” Lucian said with a firm resolution while he hugged his sister rightly, and waved at her before he climbed on his horse and rode away back to the palace.Their journey lasted shorter than they expected after they went through a shortcut that was only known to Dylan. The paths were narrow, but it was sizable enough to c
