At Declan’s mansion, he got out of the shower to his phone ringing in the bedside. Declan reached for his ringing phone and answered it. “Any news?” He asked coldly. “Yes. The target is at a renowned restaurant with Miss May. I believe they are having a lunch date.” “Good. Keep watching them and notify me on any changes. I am on my way.” Declaned ended the call and grabbed his car keys from the table before walking to his mothet’s room. “Mother, I am on my way out.” He said knocking softly on the door. “Try to get some rest okay?” “Took you long enough. I thought you were going to leave immediately after breakfast?” His mother answered from inside the room. “Take care. I will see you when I get back.” Declan said ignoring the question he was asked as he walked out of the room. ~ May watched the young man seated right before her as he ate his dessert leaving little bits of the ice cream on his face. “What is it?” Timo asked, noticing May’s fixed gaze on his face. “Oh, you

‘The city hero by the name of Declan Kings, known for playing the major hand in the treatment and recovery of the Ashers Family patriach; has been revealed to be from a long forgotten family that once roamed these very street… the Kings family that had mysteriously vanished from the city after been involved in a scandal that was known to claim the lives of over a hundred thousand people.’ ‘A picture recognized to be that of a well known lady of those times… Elizabeth Kings has been confirmed to be Declan’s mother. Now that they are back, we do not know their motive for being back here nor do we know if the city should be weary of them due to unforeseen dangers from their family.’ ‘An interview will be scheduled for the city hero, Declan Kings to come forth and tell us whatever it is that happens to be his family motive for being back here… All that remains is whether the prodigal son will heed our call or not.’ Grandpa Asher looked at the screen before exhaling loudly. “I knew that

“The Ashers?” Declan's eyes narrowed into slits as he looked upon his mother. “You are joking right?” “I wish. Now imagine my surprise when I found out that my son happens to be the one who saved the very same man that had ordered my elimination.” Elizabeth said with a sad smile on her face as she watched her son’s face. She could see his turbulent emotions raging inside. “This is surprising.” Declan said with a heavy sigh. “To think something like that will come back to bite me… saving the man who tried to kill my mother… How funny.” He added with a snicker. Declan could feel his rage building up… not against Mandy or her grandfather but against himself… for being the bigger fool. “Son, I can only imagine what you are thinking now but-.” “No need. Since the Ashers happen to be one of the unfortunate families that had gone against ours, they can only show their impending retribution.” Declan balled his fist tightly. ‘I will teach that old ma not to mess with

Mandy looked at the old man in front of her with widened eyes. “What's with the look? If we denounce him in front of the public, it might as well remove every form of suspicion from our family.” Asher said with a shrug. “And I am guessing that you would want me to make the announcement?” “Well, you are the one that he is mostly seen with… who else to take the shot?” Grandpa Asher fired back and Mandy nodded with a grim look on her face. “If you will excuse me grandpa, I think I need some time alone.” Mandy said walking out of the living room. *** Declan sat in his car, leaning against the chair. A shrill ringing tone cut through the air and he grudgingly reached for his phone. *Beep* “Hello… you better have good news for me Tye.” “And indeed I do. I found a potential lead to Kingston. There is a guy that promised information for the right sum and already agreed to meet him at a cafe with enough money to get him spilling.” “And you are sure that the guy is a real deal?”

Declan broke into a wide smile as he trailed his gaze over the twelve people who had come for him. “Tell your master that if I know too much, that should be his problem alone.” Declan replied. “Though I don't think you would be making it alive to leave here… not to mention meeting him.” The bodyguard waved his hand and the thugs moved towards Declan swinging their bats. Declan leaned back dodging one of the bats before lashing out with a wide sweep kick sending one of the thugs straight into a wall where he stayed dead… blood and brain matter sleeping out of the cracked skull. “Don't tell me that this is actually the best that you all have?” Declan said with a chuckle. The thugs grunted and broke into a run towards Declan. Declan moved aside from all their hits with ease while landing hits back at viral parts of their body. In a few minutes, Declan dusted his trousers before looking at the five guys in black suits looking at him surrounded by the six thugs. “If these guys ar
