CHAPTER 142
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
CHAPTER 141
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
CHAPTER 139
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
CHAPTER 138
Nanny Louis immediately sat back down, her expression intense."Let me give you a specific example of how this works. Five years ago, there was a real estate developer in Miami named Thomas Crawford. Crawford was successful, respectable, and completely legitimate.”“He had no connection to organized crime and wanted none. But he was involved in a zoning dispute with a company that Lord Xander wanted to acquire property from.""Rico approached Crawford and offered to help with the zoning issue," Nanny Louis recounted. "He had connections with city council members, he said, and he could make the problem go away. Crawford was skeptical but desperate…this zoning issue was threatening to bankrupt his company. So he accepted Rico's help, telling himself it was just networking, just using the resources available to him.""Rico solved the zoning problem," she continued."The city council voted in Crawford's favor, the dispute was resolved, and Crawford's company was saved. Crawford was gratef
CHAPTER 137
Nanny Louis immediately nodded and smiled gleefully at Mr Freeman and Victor Langston West.“For example, did you know that…”“Captain Robert Morrison of the city's Financial Crimes Unit has been on Lord Xander's payroll for at least six years, receiving monthly payments of fifteen thousand dollars in exchange for providing advance warning of investigations, interfering with evidence collection, and intimidating witnesses.”“I have bank records showing deposits to an offshore account in Captain Morrison's wife's maiden name, correspondence discussing specific cases, and documentation of at least twelve investigations that were mysteriously dropped or redirected after Captain Morrison's involvement." Her voice was laced with a mixture of anxiety and determination as she spoke.Mr. Freeman was now taking notes, his expression grave. "The depth of penetration into law enforcement and the judiciary is extremely concerning.”"It's not just concerning—it's why Lord Xander has operated with
