LECTER JAMES: Rise of the Braveheart

Alaric drove at high speed to a mansion on the far end of the city. While the rain poured, Lecter's mind constantly went back to the scene of Venita's betrayal. They took his wealth and made him look like a fool. Anger slowly built within Lecter's heart. The pain he felt was being replaced by something darker, and all Lecter could think about was getting revenge. "We are here, young master," Alaric said to him while he drove into a large compound and quickly parked the car by the fountain located just in front of the main building. Then, Alaric jumped down and opened an umbrella. He unlocked the door for Lecter to step down.Lecter could not believe his eyes. Not even when he was rich did he experience such wealth. The mansion was easily the grandest thing that he had ever seen in his life.As they walked towards a door, a lady stood by the side, gazing at Lecter with fury and disgust."Thank you, Alaric. I'll take it from here," she said to Alaric who gestured for Lecter to walk

High-ranking billionaires and CEOs in the city trooped into Reginald's event center. There were several fleets of cars parked outside of the hotel.By the door was an attendant who allowed the guests to go inside with a huge smile on his face.Lecter stepped down from his car, wearing a plain black suit. Other than meeting with Reginald, It was also a good opportunity for Lecter to familiarize himself with this billionaire world that is not easily accessible to anyone in the city. "Get back, mister! I need your identification," the attendant at the door said to Lecter while he attempted to walk inside. Other people stared at them. "You did not ask anyone else for a means of identification," Lecter said to the attendant who crossed his arms in defiance."That's because I did not find them suspicious. I know people like you. There is no way you are one of them. You are too young to have that kind of wealth," the attendant argued. Lecter just chuckled but the attendant did not bulge."

"I have checked your company's profile. I'll invest five hundred million dollars in the app project that you have launched," Lecter said to Anna over the phone.The unprecedented meeting with Venita that morning had almost ruined Lecter's mood, however, he knew the shrewd brat did not deserve so much attention from him."Five hundred million dollars?" She exclaimed. "That is more than enough to save my father's company from collapsing. Thank you very much, Mr James. How could I ever repay you?" Anna said to him. Lecter could hear her voice breaking from excitement. He smiled."Then, let me take you out for dinner," Lecter replied."Of course, Mr James. I'd love that. Plus, to show my appreciation, I will take care of the arrangements. I have to show you how grateful I am," Anna said to him before she hung up. Lecter was intrigued. But just as he placed his phone on the table, Alaric rushed into the office."We have a serious problem boss," Alaric said to him, agitated. Lecter frowned.

It rained heavily as Lecter drove at high speed back to his mansion. Something about that night reminded him of the night when Venita and Rand betrayed him. Although Alaric told him that Morris Thorn was the one attacking the house, Lecter figured he had to cripple the man's powers on the spot.Lecter had done his research and found out that a gangster, Venom, was working with Morris. Venom provided Morris with arms, men, and weapons. Even the assassin who tried to kill Reginald was one of Venom's boys. Lecter drove faster.As soon as he got to the mansion, Lecter could see a band of armed men aiming at his father from the distance. The bodyguards with Kent James were not enough to stop the artillery that Morris had brought with him. However, things soon took a turn.Morris and everyone else present watched as Lecter parked the car and stepped down, quickly unlocking an umbrella to shield himself from the rain. The umbrella also covered the upper part of his face, making it impossible

"Are you alright, Anna?" Lecter asked Anna as she kept glaring at her ring while he drove away from the mall. Venita's unruly attitude had given her a scare. "I'm the happiest woman alive, Lecter. You saved me from that bitter woman. She already broke your heart. What else does she want with you?" Anna asked with a sigh."Don't worry, my love. I'll keep on protecting you. Do you like the ring?" He asked she smiled. "It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen Lecter. It's perfect. Thank you very much for this. Becoming your wife has always been a dream of mine since the first time we met," Anna giggled. Lecter smiled at her."That means you have a wedding to plan," he added and she smiled. But just as Anna was about to say something, Lecter's phone rang. It was Alaric calling. Lecter picked up the phone."Alaric," Lecter said with his eyes still on the road. "Boss, can you make it to Mr Reginald's house right away?" He asked."What for? I just proposed to Anna. I'm taking her on a
