The story had now reached a cliffhanger, Hermes could not guess what would happen after. If Diego Ranieri, the old man he encountered at Haisley and Derek's wedding, had once joined hands with his grandfather Andre to take down the leaders of the predators, then an unguessable lot of events must have happened after that time.At the present, Diego was the leader of the predators, so Hermes could guess that the plan to defeat the Triad was not a failure. But what happened after that? If they succeeded, what happened to Andre? To Howard? To Lyanna? How did everything eventually come to this?Also, he still could not understand how Adams Bradbury fitted into this entire story. Sandra had promised that her narration would answer every question on his mind, but that promise had still not been fulfilled yet."If you would sit your impatient ass down, calm your heart and listen more, then all your answers will surely be found." Sandra said, pushing his head back to rest on the soft pillow. "

The girl could not do anything to prevent themselves from being captured at that moment. They were out numbered, totally surrounded by ambitious foes.Those men thought that the Triad would rule with a different system forever. A system where there would be no discrimination in the name of family among the members of the predators. Where each person will be treated in accordance with their achievements and loyalty to the empire and not by virtue of their family's default reverence.If anything, the idea of betraying their supposed saviours and putting an family chosen leader like Andre back on the throne was stupid and unfavourable to them. Andre would be just like everyone of his prodecessors, they thought. They needed someone who would give them a voice, and that was what they found in the Triad.So they took the girls as their captives, to be delivered as gifts to the leadership of the Triad. That way, they would be rewarded with higher ranks among the predating fold.When Andre an

Beneath the shelter of his newly inherited empire, rewarded by his atrocious actions of disloyalty and betrayal, Scorpio sat behind the tallest and strongest walls of the prime base. He had in his mind the frivolous thoughts of mistrust, and from where he sat he could see it all. He could feel it all. The sneaky steps of Andre's influence had crept into the hearts of his men. It came from the notes spread around by those little witches, it was as if each stroke rose away from their place on the sheets of paper and diffused through the chest of each predator, poisoning their hearts against him. At this rate, he knew there was no one he could find worthy of his trust, not even his closest protector.The man who was sworn to protect him, by this time, was at least twenty yards away from where he sat. This was due to Scorpio's newly breed paranoia, as he could no longer put his trust in any predator."Boss, the men say that he is here already, among us. Andre, the son of the..."One of t

Illibio had his feet above the ground, covered in shoes made of tough leather and a metal end. He was going to trample on Lyanna's fingers. He was going to destroy her hand and take revenge on Andre for making him lose a finger.Andre was still covered in dirt, the dusty atmosphere blocking his vision. But he could see slightly what was about to unfold. Still he could not do anything from where he was, there was nothing he could do.So he only screamed, "No!!!" Like an helpless child who was watching his mother being taken away.As Illibio brought down those deadly legs, it played in slow motion in the eyes of Andre. His feet came down gradually, about to fall on the perfectly placed fingers of his little girl.And then someone flew in from nowhere, hugging Illibio from behind."What?!!!" He screamed as he tumbled with his back to the ground, the perpetrator falling with him."Who are you, boy?!!!"Illibio managed to utter those low words as blood gushed out from his abdomen. He had b

At the prime base, the kids decided to turn on the news. "Let us get a glimpse of normal world, shall we?" Andrew rose up to the occasion, bringing the television to life.Lyanna was pretty much glad with him being around, and Howard could see it in her. He could feel her slipping away slowly from the mournful state brought about by the death of their mother, and it made him spiteful."Sure, let us watch some news". Sandra supported, and Bell agreed as well.The world of the rectangular box came open and in it was the breaking headline news which had been waiting for them."Big Catastrophe In Caveliona!" It read. "Two Explosions In A Civilian Lodge, Entire City In Crisis!"The images that were displayed on the screen gave out nothing but the gift of disaster. A whole mountain height building had crumbled to the ground, it had the exact imprint of a terrorist attack. No sign of life could be detected from behind the screen, just helicopters flying around everywhere looking for survivo
