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

    "We always have choices. We could walk away entirely, focus on rebuilding the West family business empire, living successful lives without pursuing vengeance. That's a legitimate choice." Mr Freeman immediately said.He turned back to face Victor Langeston West immediately."Or we could spend decades trying to build a case through legitimate channels, knowing that the Vandels will likely corrupt or circumvent our efforts at every turn, possibly succeeding eventually but more likely watching them continue to prosper while we grow old chasing an impossible dream. That's also a choice.""Or," Mr. Freeman continued, his voice strengthening, "we could accept the alliance Lord Xander and Rico are offering, use their resources and intelligence to strike at the Vandels effectively, accept the manageable risks that come with that alliance, and actually accomplish the goal of seeing your parents' murderers destroyed.”“That's the choice I recommend, but it is still a choice, not an inevitabilit

    Mr. Freeman smiled slightly, a knowing expression that suggested he had anticipated this question."Of course they'll expect something in return, Master West. Nobody provides significant assistance without expecting reciprocity…that's basic human nature, whether we're talking about criminals or legitimate businesspeople.”Mr Freeman immediately said and shook his head before continuing almost at the same time.“The question isn't whether obligations will be created, the question is whether those obligations are manageable and whether they're worth the benefit we receive."He immediately pushed off from the desk and began pacing again, his analytical mind clearly working through the calculation."Think about it this way Master West, Lord Xander and Rico want the Vandels destroyed for their own reasons. Their interests align with ours in that specific goal. They're offering to provide intelligence, resources, and strategic support to help us accomplish that shared objective.”“In return

    Immediately Nanny Louis stepped out of the door, Mr Freeman immediately walked over to the cup of coffee that Victor Langston West who is now called Master West was drinking and took a sip."This is good coffee, did she make this?" He immediately asked Victor Langston West almost immediately.Victor Langeston West immediately took a deep breath and said, "Yes, she did, seriously what's her deal with our partnership, I mean the West family alliance initiative program?""What do you really think about everything Nanny Louis had just said?" Victor Langeston West immediately asked as he stared at Mr Freeman who was still drinking the hot coffee."Master West," Mr. Freeman began, setting the coffee cup down on the mahogany desk with deliberate care. He walked over to the large window that overlooked the estate grounds, his silhouette backlit by the afternoon sun that was beginning its descent toward the horizon."What I think is that Nanny Louis is both right and wrong simultaneously, whic

  • CHAPTER 140

    “Believe me, I do. When Daniel disappeared, when I realized Lord Xander had murdered my brother, I wanted nothing more than to see him destroyed.” Nanny Louis immediately said as she stared at both Mr Freeman and Victor Langston West.“But I also understood that becoming like him, using his methods, compromising myself in pursuit of revenge…that wouldn't honor Daniel's memory.”“That would just create more victims, more suffering, more darkness in a world that already has far too much.""This isn't about becoming like them," Victor protested. "I'm not running criminal organizations, I'm not trafficking people or selling drugs. I'm simply accepting information and resources from people who happen to operate outside the law in order to bring other criminals to justice.""That's a distinction that becomes murkier the deeper you go," Nanny Louis warned. "Every step down this path makes the next step easier to justify. Today it's accepting intelligence obtained through illegal surveillance

    The room fell silent as Victor Langston West and Mr. Freeman exchanged glances, the weight of Nanny Louis's words settling over them.Finally, Mr. Freeman spoke, his voice measured and thoughtful. "Nanny Louis, your warnings are noted and appreciated.”“The scenario you're describing is certainly plausible, and your analysis of Rico's methods is compelling. However, I think there are some factors you may not be fully considering." He immediately said as he stared at Victor Langston West and Nanny Louis.He stood up, moving to stand beside Victor. "First, regarding the intelligence Rico is providing…yes, it's likely obtained through questionable means. But Master West is not directing those methods, is not participating in them directly, and is not compensating Rico for those services. He's simply receiving information that Rico chooses to share.”“The legal exposure there is significantly less than you're suggesting.""Furthermore," Mr. Freeman continued, "we're not naive about the ri
