When they arrived in the sitting room, Derek instructed Benson. "You can go ahead with the plan, and prepare our men." When he left, Benson quickly made his way to the men's quarters.Derek had instructed him to prepare men to infiltrate the Elder's Mafia. They had to insert spies among the elders to know their next plan of action.This was better than blindly trusting each of them. He selected 6 men, 2 for each mafia, and led them underground to the tattoo room. "Welcome, Boss." Jake was the man in charge of the tattoo room, which helped to prepare Derek's men with tattoos, piercings, a change in haircut, looks, and everything that could help their men fit in properly as a spy. "There are 6 men you need to make an identification tattoo for." Benson rubbed his chin in thought.He had seen some men from each Mafia before. Their identification sign hadn't escaped his shrewd eyes. Albert's men had a star tattoo in the crook of their neck, Herbert's men had a dragon tattoo on their w

"Don't get all excited yet. Morris has yet to meet you all this while because he's still quite distrustful of you." Wallace poured cold water on Stephen's high hopes. Stephen was stunned silent for a while. "He still doesn't trust me?""You were supposed to prove your allegiance by killing Clinton back then, but you slacked off and allowed that rascal to take over the position! Who would trust you after that?""Wasn't it Morris himself that promised to take care of Clinton?" Stephen was shocked. "You don't still get it?" Wallace asked in an angry voice. "Even though he promised to help, the only way you could have proved your allegiance was by killing Clinton yourself. Then taking over the Head Mafia position!""Well, it wasn't my fault in any way. I only obeyed his instructions to the letter." Stephen said with a scoff. "If he had given me explicit orders instead of going through the corners, I would have proved my absolute allegiance!"Wallace only chuckled. "Even with how far we'

"What's wrong, Thomas?" Fred also asked, a little panic on his face. "Speak," Derek commanded him. "I don't know how grave the issue is, but Benson is arriving soon to relay some information to you."Derek frowned. "And what could that be?""He refused to speak on the phone."Derek thought for a while and stood up. "Alright. I think we'd better get to the Hotel and wait for him."He gave Fred another nod before walking off with Thomas. Derek quickly returned to his mother's ward. The doctors had finally brought Annabelle in and placed them in the same room. His eyes clouded up as he stared at both women's faces. "Take care of yourself, Mother. I'll be back soon."He turned to kiss his sister's cheek. "Get well soon, Annabelle."With that, Derek retrieved his things and hurried out with Thomas. In the parking lot, a Silver Porsche caught his eyes and Derek couldn't help but admire it for a while. Right next to it was a sparkling red Toyota Camry. "The cab is waiting, Boss." Tho

The man was startled by the force with which the door flung open. "Who is it?" He staggered back. "Fred?" Derek had rushed in immediately to grab the intruder's collar. "It's me, Derek. I was just trying to adjust Annabelle's bed covers.""Well, I didn't see your face, so I thought it was someone else." Derek frowned at his new outfit. Fred sighed. "I was about to leave, heading towards a high school reunion that's why I got changed.""Ohh. Alright." Derek nodded, relief washing through him. His heart had stopped the moment he stepped in to see an unfamiliar figure earlier. Fred left almost immediatelyAfter confirming that everything was okay with his mother and his sister, Derek left as well. LaVida Hospitals was one of the most secure hospitals in the entire country.Without a secret passcode known by a very few select people- the patient's doctor and a few family members, no one accessed the wards. This was the reason why Fred was able to keep his mother's location a secret

A tall, immaculate man stepped out of a luxurious Rolls-Royce, a large black mask on his face."Speak." His commanding voice floated to his subordinate behind him. "The Elders are already waiting in the private reservation, Master," Wallace replied with a bow. "This way." Wallace led him out of the garage into the VVIP lift of the ExQuisite Hotels. They headed towards the Suite booked for the appointment. Morris nodded, walking with a majestic and overbearing aura as Wallace hurried behind, trying to update him. "First, we have Lord Carter, the Mafia Lord of the Eastern Border who is in charge of the small mafias around the East of Orange Park City.""We also have the powerful Martial arts Lord, Hamilton, who is in charge of the Western Border of the City. He's also here to attend the meeting.""And?" Morris probed further. "Gerald Su is also joining the meeting today. He came from the GreeneVille town several miles away and was quite ecstatic to receive the invitation letter."
