Several other men were in the room, each holding a gun, their faces set with grim determination. “What are you doing?” Richard asked, his voice trembling as he caught sight of the item in the briefcase, which looked alarmingly like a bomb. “I’m about to send you all to the devil,” James scoffed, his tone dripping with malicious disdain. Richard’s eyes widened in fear. “You’re insane! You can’t do this!” James chuckled darkly. “Oh, but I can. And I will.

Raphael and Priscilla Wayne were just pawns in this game right from the very beginning. They've served their purpose and it's time to look into the bigger picture,”Julio's respect for Lee Chan had always been massive seeing how much he reasoned like himself. If there was something he liked about Lee Chan, it was the fact that his hunger for power was like a vampire thirsty for blood.“That's right.

This isn't good,” Katherine's forehead creased slightly conveying a sense of unease. They had left the mourning room as soon as they heard that James had escaped. That wasn't part of the plan. With James already out of the picture, it was left with Julio and Mr Blaq but now that James had escaped, they could smell trouble brewing already. “So what do we do now?” Dexter asked, seeing that there was really not much he could bring himself to think about regarding everything that was happening. “We'll have to be vigilant. If James had failed in his first attempt to kill you, he'll come again and this time, he won't spare you.” Katherine revealed, her hands clasped, with a palpable sense of nervous energy underlying her demeanor.

That's Dexter's biological mother.” Stephanie replied, causing Ivy's mouth to open wide in awe as she had never expected it.

And did Dexter get to find her?” Stephanie muttered to herself.Dexter noticed Ivy's presence and walked up to her.

I already had a clear shot but she immediately stepped in.” The young man replied, his fist clenched and his tone assertive.The young man was one of the best assassins
