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

    A long, stifling silence hung in the air, thick as fog, swallowing the marble corridor of the Judge’s mansion. The sharp ticking of an old grandfather clock echoed faintly through the panelled hallway, each second grinding tension deeper into the atmosphere.Then,softly and almost mockingly,Crime Boss Wayne broke the silence with a slow, calculating laugh. It was the kind of laugh that didn’t warm the room but chilled it to the bone.“Well, well... gentlemen.” He drawled, drawing the word out like a seasoned actor playing to a crowd.His voice slid over the marble walls, refined, smooth, and sharp enough to cut steel. He stepped forward, his polished boots clicking methodically against the floor as his long coat swayed behind him. The faint scent of cigar smoke and cologne trailed him like a serpent’s tail.With a courteous nod, he addressed them, his tone falsely apologetic. “Forgive my man’s behavior.” He said, his gloved hand gesturing casually to the massive henchman still glar

    Jack blinked, still catching his breath from his jog out of the mansion. His hand gripped the car door as he climbed in, shutting it behind him with a soft thud.Lord Leo’s fingers tightened around the steering wheel, his eyes not leaving the road ahead even as he repeated, this time with a crooked, sarcastic smirk. “Guess what I found out?”Jack chuckled and shook his head, the tension slowly rolling off his shoulders. “Well, I found out something pretty insane room” He said. “But you go first.”Lord Leo leaned back slightly, his smirk widening. “The disguises…” He paused dramatically.“…are ready.”Jack blinked. “Wait,what disguises?”“The ones we’re wearing to court.” Lord Leo said, eyes gleaming with mischief. “Security camera technicians. With official tags, wires, fake coffee stains, and all.”Jack narrowed his eyes. “Seriously? That’s your big find?”Lord Leo gave a mock gasp, placing a hand over his chest. “Excuse me! Do you know how hard it is to get two full acces

    Jack’s voice was tight, heavy with the weight of curiosity and a growing sense of unease. “What do you mean by the truth?” He asked, his eyes narrowing as he searched Butler Goof’s face for clues.Butler Goof gently lowered the broom he was holding, his eyes distant, as though memories were swimming to the surface. “If you’re not in a hurry.” He said, gesturing toward the grand, velvet-lined armchair by the fireplace.“You might want to sit. What I’m about to tell you isn’t something that should be heard on your feet.”Jack hesitated, his instincts prickling. Then, wordlessly, he strode over and sat down, the leather creaking under him.Goof joined him, settling slowly into the seat opposite. His voice dropped to a low, almost reverent tone. “The Wayne family is not what you think it is, Master Jack. Especially not Nike Wayne’s parentage.”Jack leaned forward, brows furrowed. “What are you talking about? Isn’t Crime Boss Wayne his father?”Butler Goof let out a dry chuckle, but

    Jack sat on the edge of his bed, eyes still glued to the news broadcast as the grainy footage of Crime Boss Wayne being swarmed by reporters played on repeat. The scene outside the airport terminal was chaotic. Cameramen shoved against one another, jostling for a better shot while bodyguards tried desperately to form a wall between their furious boss and the clamoring press.Reporters shouted questions,their voices overlapping like a crashing wave of confusion:“Boss Wayne, what do you have to say about your son’s arrest?”“Are the rumors true that you flew in to demand his release?”“Sir, did you know about your son's involvement in the Blue Heavens massacre?”Wayne didn’t say a word. His jaw was clenched so tightly that a vein in his temple throbbed. He moved like a storm cloaked in a tailored suit, his heavy black overcoat flowing behind him like smoke. Two of his bodyguards shoved aside the nearest reporters, nearly knocking a cameraman over as Wayne stormed toward a waiting lim

    Inside the black SUV, Lord Leo sat behind the wheel, his grip on the steering slowly loosening as the chaos behind them began to settle. Beside him, Jack leaned his head against the window, breathing out softly, while Justin Bradley sat in the back seat, slouched, his eyes hollow from everything that had happened. From their vantage point atop a hill across the Wayne Mansion, they watched the flurry of police cars, flashing lights, and media vans swarm the property like flies to a carcass.Lord Leo glanced at Justin through the rearview mirror. “You alright back there?” He asked in a low voice.Justin slowly lifted his gaze and nodded weakly. “Yeah… I’m alright.” He said, though his voice didn’t carry conviction. He stared through the tinted glass at the mansion below. “Nike… he was just doing all this to make his father proud. He’s not this… monster. Not deep down. I know it.”Jack turned around in his seat and locked eyes with Justin. “As much as I hate to say this.” He bega

    The dark corridors of the Wayne mansion echoed with hurried footsteps as Lord Leo, Jack, Justin, and the remaining police officers spread out, weapons drawn. Sweat beaded across everyone's brows as they scanned each corner and hallway. The tension hung in the air like fog.Suddenly, Nike Wayne’s voice boomed through the mansion’s speaker system, low and taunting.“You’re all going to die in here.”Everyone froze at a spot.The commander turned his head, his voice tight with rage. “How do you intend to do that, Wayne?”Nike’s mocking laugh echoed. “Oh, Commander... haven’t you figured it out yet? This isn’t just a mansion. It’s a cathedral of chaos,a building filled with booby traps. And guess what? I’ve already activated them.”Jack took a step forward, shouting toward the walls. “You don’t have to do this, Nike. Just give yourself up!”But Nike replied, dripping with sarcasm. “Didn’t I already tell you? Giving up isn’t an option.”Lord Leo, trying to reason with him, added.“Ther
