Melissa and Baron Ax sat in the conference room quietly as the announcer called the latest rankings for net wealth value at the annual conference. The number one as usual was whoever was the head of the Jones Family and no one was surprised to see Helen's name at the top of the list.

Baron had heard about a lot of Leo's adventures and he was beginning to worry that he'll actually lose to someone who had not even a penny to his name less than a month ago.

Melissa could feel Baron's worries and she also was uncertain about whether or not he might win the bet. She had cut ties with Leo and her partnership with the Jones Corporation was only in name now as they had stopped operating as partners. She believed she had picked the right side in this war but somewhere deep down she was still thinking about all the numerous possibilities of failure.

"We would like to stop the listing to announce the arrival of the head of the Jones Corporation, Miss Helen Jones and the CEO of LD Allied, Mr Leon

    "We have to go on the offensive Helen" Leo said as he and Helen arrived back at the mansion. "Offensive? They are attacking us from multiple fronts, how do we know which side to attack first?" Helen sighed as she plopped down into the sofa."We don't. We just hit the side which will hurt them the most and when they all come running we snuff them out at the root" Leo said as he poured the both of them a drink from the bottle of brandy on the table."Which side will hurt them the most then?" She asked as she collected the glass from him and downed it in one long sip."Who else? The stupid false god. If we take him down the rest of them will go down way easier."The false god? I thought we were going to go after Damon and co to get at him?" Helen asked in confusion."I know but I don't think we have the time to do that now. I'll try to find out it's location from Kyrian and see if I can stop it before any harm to anyone" Leo said as he pulled out his phone and began texting Kyrian."I d

    Leo parked his car a long distance from the entrance to the Red Fruit Mangrove and proceeded to hike slowly into the forest. He was nervous and jumpy and his eyes kept on skittering from left to right as he expected monsters to jump out at him at every turn.He watched the beautiful red fruits dangle from the branches of the trees and felt an almost arcane attachment to them. He knew to they were poisonous and that was common knowledge but he was from the Divine Clan and was immune to poison so he had nothing to fear from the fruit.He reached up and plucked one of a tree and stared at it intently for a while before biting hard into it. He didn't know if he had to peel off the back or lick through the skin but he didn't want to think at that moment as he let his mouth savor the taste off the fruit. It had a silky and sour taste that almost made him spit it up but he didn't dare remove his teeth from inside the fruit. He sucked on the juice for a few more seconds before forcing the fr

    Leo wondered around for a few hours inside the Red Fruit Mangrove dodging strange supernatural creatures and escaping from close death situations. He was at his wit's end and he was about to call of his search and go home to prepare a defense from an unknown enemy with unknown capabilities."What on earth am I even looking for. I knew this was a bad idea" he whispered to himself as he skipped over a camouflaged snake in the green grass. He was allergic to toxins but getting bit by snakes was never a nice thing to go through.He was about to quit his search when he noticed a single tree which was fifteen times as large and tall as any other tree in the Mangrove. In the CCTV images of the place the tree was called The Big Red Ben but as he looked at the marvel from under he couldn't dare call it by such a ridiculous name."Well even if I'm not supposed to climb other trees I'm sure this has to be the most special tree in this entire forest and since this mission seems to be a dead end I

    The silence dragged on for several minutes as the twines tightened around Leo's body. He refused to squirm or clench his teeth or scream for help even though he was going through terrible pain because he didn't want to appear weak. "You're lying. My son is dead, he died years ago" Terry said in a doubtful voice."No, it was the housemaid's son Greg that took a bullet for me on that day before I escaped. So you knew we were all going to be killed?" Leo asked with disgust in his eyes."You can hate me all you want but I owed a duty to be the vessel of god and when duty calls nothing else matters" Terry replied while shaking his head."Don't give me that bullshit. You betrayed everybody. You killed your wife, you killed your clan and you even tried to kill your son. You are a disgrace" Leo said in anger while glaring at his father."I don't owe you an explanation for my actions and if you were in my position I do not think you would have made a different decision" his father said in a d

    Helen downed five glasses of bourbon without blinking as she felt the tips of her fingers start getting numb. She couldn't afford to give her self time to think because she knew what the only thing on her mind was."Why did he have to go? We could have just left the country and gone to live in some settlement in the North pole" she sighed to herself as her words left her mouth in a long drawl."I can't lose him too, not after grandfather, I can't" she sobbed quietly as she downed another glass to bury her sorrows.Ding!The doorbell rang and she flew off her chair and raced to the door before the doorman could reach it. She hoped within her heart that it would be Leo at the door but when she pulled the door open she was disappointed at who she saw standing there.Kyrian Homer was standing outside the door looking like a disheveled rat and just the sight of him brought Helen's rage out of her in waves."You!" She said in an accusatory tone, "What have you done to Leo? You sent him into

    "What?' Leo's voice rang out dull in the empty void he was floating in and he heard no echoes. "No walls? Just endless bottomless darkness" he said again to himself. "Damn this is the worst punishment you could give to a person. He had been falling endlessly for hours until he realized that he was not even actually falling anywhere there was just something weird in that endless void that gave one the feeling of him plummeting to his death. Once he realized this he was able to turn around to float upright. He had been there for over a day according to his phone which he had used sparsely. There was no cell signal inside the void but at least he could mark the time with his phone. He was bored out of his mind floating in place in an infinitely black void with nothing to do but think and he had thought a lot in that long time. His father killed his mother and the rest of his clan and also ordered his death and the deaths of all the other children of the Divine Clan. "Maybe the

    Leo walked wearily through the unending darkness, his only beacon of hope was the bright light ahead. It seemed distant yet tantalizingly close, always just out of reach. The darkness pressed in around him like a suffocating blanket, threatening to consume him whole. But Leo pressed on, driven by an instinctual need to follow the light, to escape the abyss that threatened to swallow him.As he ventured deeper into the shadowy labyrinth, Leo's senses sharpened, attuned to every whisper of movement and every subtle shift in the air. He knew he was not alone. The darkness whispered sinister promises, weaving illusions that toyed with his mind. Yet each time doubt crept in, Leo's resolve strengthened, his grip on the light tightening.Suddenly, the darkness ahead coalesced into a monstrous form—a towering, twisted figure with glowing eyes that pierced through the gloom. Leo's heart raced as fear threatened to paralyze him, but he held out the light before him. The creature hesitated, its

    Leo and Kyrian stood with to their hands handcuffed to each other before the large portrait of Sarah Jensen previously Sarah Homer in the living room of her expansive oceanside mansion. He was surprised at how homely the building looked as it was all warm colors and bright decor which was in very sharp contrast with his own home which was mostly black and white furniture and filled with technology. The only gadget in sight in the living room was the large TV and he couldn't spot a single security camera around. He loved the way the home felt secure and welcoming and he was sure that even though Helen said nothing about it, she was worried by the lack of privacy in their own home. He felt she had been even happier since they had moved out of the house.He loved the way the home felt secure and welcoming and he was sure that even though Helen said nothing about it, she was worried by the lack of privacy in their own home.

    115 Kyrian's Daughter

    Sarah, Kyrian's daughter sat in her baby's nursery desperately trying to shush her from her screaming. She had already fed her twice but the child just kept on wailing at the top of her lungs. She had fired the baby's nanny a few days ago after she found out that she was having an affair with her husband. She had kicked him out of the house too and he had slept on the front porch for three nights in a row knocking and screaming and begging her to let him in. She promised to call the police each time his noise woke her up. It was probably the wedding contract she had made him sign before they got married that made him so desperate to win her back. He had signed away thirty to forty five percent of his business empire if they were ever to get divorced depending on the length of the marriage, currently she was eligible to take up to thirty nine percent of all he had without even lifting a finger.The affair had began from the night she hired the nanny and she didn't even know until she

    Kyrian groaned as he got off the helicopter. At his age he didn't enjoy sitting in the sticky helicopter seats any longer. Old age took away certain luxuries from him he would never get back."Good day sir" the security guard greeted him as he stepped down onto the grass."Good day. Where's my car and escort?" Kyrian asked while responding curtly to the greeting."Right this way sir, just follow me" the guard said and began to lead the way to where the cars were parked. At a comfortable speed they should be able to reach Dartford City before night fall where he had dinner reservation with Leonardo Dubois.

    Gordon wiped his brow, the steam from the pots blurring his vision. The clatter of plates filled the small kitchen of St. Jude's Orphanage, a rhythmic echo of lives lived in shadows. He had just finished scrubbing a particularly stubborn pan when the sharp whistle pierced the air, cutting through the dull mood of the evening routine. Instinctively, he froze, the scrub brush still in his hand, unsure what was happening.“Come on, Gordon! We need to hurry!” shouted his roommate, Ethan, bursting through the door with a wild look in his eyes.“What....What’s going on?” Gordon asked, his heart pounding as he dropped the brush and followed Ethan into the hallway. The other boys were already racing past them down the hallway , they were laughter and shouts a mixture of excitement and anxiety which left Gordon more perplexed .“It’s a billionaire!” Ethan exclaimed, his voice barely above a whisper, yet it crackled with energy. “He’s coming to adopt a kid from the orphanage.

    Hazel stepped of the first ladder of the airplane, the cool French air brushing against her skin. She inhaled deeply and smelled the fresh unpolluted air, a rare smell in Dartford. She lived the countryside but she had a mission to fulfill there . She walked back into the plane to meet Jason, the pilot who had flown them across the Atlantic.“Thank you, Jason. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this,” she said, handing him an electronic card. “The details for the rest of your payment are right here. Just follow the instructions.”Jason took the card, "How do I know that this card will pay me?" Jason asked. "Seriously man, you're doing business with billionaires and you're asking if you will get paid a couple millions?" Hazel asked with a slight chuckle and Jason nodded nervously.“No problem,Just keep him safe. That’s all that matters now.” he replied before she left the cockpit.James stood beside her, clutching a small backpack to his chest. At five years old, he looked so sma

    111 The Fugitive

    Gordon Fisher crouched behind a stack of shipping crates as he scanned the harbor. The moon hung high illuminating the transatlantic ship moored at the end of the dock. The weight of desperation pressed heavily on his chest. Just hours ago, he had been a man with a plan; now, he was a fugitive, the walls closing in with every passing moment.Leonardo Dubois had shattered his world with a single announcement. He had told the truth about Gordon’s infiltration into his private mansion to the public. The man who had killed his father now stood untouchable, declaring to the world that Gordon had broken into his multimillion-dollar mansion, seeking vengeance for a crime that had haunted him for years. The plan had been foolproof—or so he thought.He had designed the security system for Dubois's home, crafting a web of protection that he believed would be impenetrable. But when he finally made it into the house, his plans spiraled out of control. Instead of finding Dubois's wife, Helen, in h

    Kyrian Homer sat comfortably in the plush armchair of his holiday mansion in Spain, the golden rays of the late afternoon sun filtering through the grand windows. The ocean outside shimmered. At seventy-three, Kyrian had seen the world shift in ways he never thought possible, but today, as he watched the news, a chill raced down his spine, igniting memories he thought he had buried deep.The host’s voice droned on, a mix of politics, celebrity gossip, and the relentless drumbeat of tragedy. But Kyrian’s attention sharpened when the anchor introduced a segment about Leonardo Dubois—Leo, as he had always called him. After all the drama following Scar's death and with them regaining control over the city Kyrian had finally decided to take his hands off the steering and he left his company to his son and moved to Spain he had only been back to the States twice, one for Leo's wedding and another for James' christening.As the camera panned to Leo’s face, now framed with salt-and-pepper hai

    Jason stared open mouthed at the man who stood before him. He had a chance to see the most vulnerable side of one of the richest men in the world. He didn't know what Leo was trying to hide his child from but he knew that it must be something or someone dangerous."I brought half your payment in full. My friend Hazel will be traveling with you and when you drop them she will get you the remaining half of the money" Leo said as he motioned to Hazel. "Where exactly an I going to drop them?" Jason asked Leo but he shook his head in reply. "I don't know. The only people who know are Hazel and James who chose the location. Hazel won't tell you the destination either until you are out of the country's airspace to avoid any sort of device picking up communication" Leo said a little bit paranoid but of course he was paranoid, if a deranged killer with a personal vendetta against you snuck into your house so easily with the sun if killing your wife, you'd be terribly paranoid."Alright then

    "What the fuck" Leo cursed as he stumbled out of his vehicle. He saw Hazel and Ross's vehicle reversing quickly and stopping a few feet away from the hitman's crashed car. They carefully stepped out while keeping their heads down. Leo got to the car them and forced the car door open. He took one good look at the half conscious hitman before reaching over and snatching the gun out of his hands"This moronic unprofessional is why you two were running over thirty minutes late?' Leo asked them with a slight smirk and they both laughed."You should have seen yourself when you realized we were being pursued. You practically made that turn like a formula 1 driver" Ross joked before he walked up to Leo and wrapped him in a hug. "Any one hurt on your side?" Leo asked with concern but they both shook their heads. "What of Helen and James?" Hazel asked a little worriedly but she smiled when she saw Helen helping James out of the car and waving at them."They're fine. We have to get out of her
