LECTER JAMES: Rise of the Braveheart Chapter 177
The drive back home for Morris was a rather quiet one. All the way, he kept thinking about the deal that he had made with the mischievous Tommy. Something about the whole arrangement just didn't sit well with Morris. He could not shake off the feeling that Tommy had ulterior motives."He was brazen enough to betray his own nephew. What's to say that he won't do the same to me?" Morris asked himself.Then he drove into his compound and then parked the car beside another Ferrari. Morris then proceeded to step into his house.The first thing that Morris noticed was the silence. There were no sign of his house workers or his servants"Where's everyone? Where the heck did they go?" Morris asked himself. He continued to step into the house until he was inside the sitting room.Morris did not take notice of the person's presence at first until he looked and then saw Lecter sitting on the master seat.Alaric and Bone were at his side. Morris gasped in shock when he saw Lecter."You brazen foo

"Did you just confess to betraying Cecil?" Rachel asked with so much enthusiasm in her voice. Tommy froze, uncertain of what to do."You know, Tommy, I have always believed that you were a son of a bitch but deep down I wanted you to prove me wrong. And yet, here you are, falling right into the hole that I've always envisioned for you." Rachel added."You heard wrong. You're about to accuse me of something utterly insane and I suggest you watch your tongue," he snapped at her."Or else what? You'll tell your nephew that I caught you scheming against him and you just had to confess in order to get mercy from him? We both know how Cecil is like. He'll never forgive you," she stated with utmost certainty."So what do you want? Money? I'll pay for your silence you fucking bitch!" Tommy yelled at her. Rachel laughed at him and then sat down on the couch."Well, for starters, I will not reject your money since it's coming from the goodness of your heart. But my ultimate aim is yet to be rev

Cecil could hear the opening of the door to his study. He was so engrossed in his work that he did not raise his head to see who it was. However, no one would be dumb enough to try and take him on, especially not in his own house."Cecil, my nephew," Tommy muttered. Cecil raised his head and then saw Tommy standing before him with a look of uncertainty on his face. "Uncle Tommy, what's the matter?" Cecil asked as he stopped working on the computer and turned his focus to his uncle. Tommy sighed and then sat down, still wearing the grimace that has been on his face from the very beginning."I'm afraid there's something that I must tell you, nephew, and for this I am also partially responsible for what has happened," he said to him.Cecil didn't understand what his uncle was trying to say. He approached Tommy with a reassuring look on his face."What is it uncle? Whatever it is, you know that you can tell me" he said to him. Tommy sighed."Morris was not who we thought he was. He was a

Bruce's car pulled up in front of the mansion and he sighed. He took in the view of the building before him and memories began to flood his mind. There was so many things that he thought about that almost made him lose his mind."Focus Bruce. You know why you are here. Do not chicken out now. Stay strong," Bruce said to himself.He approached the colossal gates and raised his hand to ring the doorbell but he stopped. Something was holding him back and Bruce knew that until he eliminated that thing, he would not make any progress."Did you come all this way to be a pussy? Did you?" He snapped at himself. "Get your shit together Bruce. You're bigger than this!" He snapped again.Just then, Bruce was about to ring the doorbell when he heard footsteps approaching. It was a large man holding a gun. He gazed at Bruce with so much disgust and then humphed."Get away from the gates. We don't give alms today!" He snapped at Bruce. Bruce scoffed and checked out his outfit.Of course, he wore di

Bruce was rejected and kicked out by Raphael earlier. But he didn't stop trying to find a way to convince him.Bruce stood outside the dimly lit nightclub, his heart racing with anticipation. He had been trying to get a meeting with Raphael for weeks, and finally, he had received a message to come alone. Bruce took a deep breath and pushed open the door, scanning the room for any signs of trouble.Raphael sat at a table in the corner, sipping a glass of whiskey. He looked up as Bruce approached, his expression unreadable."Bruce," Raphael said, his voice dripping with disdain. "I'm surprised you had the guts to show up."Bruce ignored the jab and took a seat across from Raphael. "I'm here to ask for a second chance," he said, his voice steady.Raphael laughed. "You think I'm just going to forget what you did? You worked with John to arrest me, Bruce. You can't be trusted.""I know I made mistakes," Bruce said, his hands spread wide. "But I've changed. I'm not with the police anymore.

Victor sat in Clark's office, sipping a glass of whiskey. Clark, Raphael's second in command, leaned back in his chair, eyeing Victor with interest."So, Victor, tell me about Bruce," Clark said, his voice smooth. "What's the story with him?"Victor took a sip of his drink, collecting his thoughts. "Bruce is not someone to be messed with," he said finally. "He's got skills, and he's got a reputation."Clark raised an eyebrow. "I've heard rumors. But I want to know more. Where did he come from?"Victor sighed, pulling out the background study he had compiled on Bruce. "Rough childhood," he said. "Grew up on the streets, had to fight to survive. He's been in and out of gangs since he was a kid."Clark's eyes scanned the report, his expression growing more and more interested."And what about his time with Raphael?" Clark asked, his voice sharp.Victor hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. But Clark's gaze was piercing, and he knew he had to tell the truth."Bruce was loyal," Victor said

Lecter sat behind his desk, steepling his fingers as he listened to the potential client's proposal. The man, a wealthy businessman, was seeking Lecter's expertise in acquiring a rare and valuable artifact."I'm willing to pay top dollar for your services, Mr James," the man said, his eyes gleaming with excitement.Lecter smiled, his eyes glinting with interest. "I'm afraid it's not just a matter of money, my dear fellow. I have a reputation to uphold. But I must say, the challenge intrigues me."With a few deft questions, Lecter probed the man's motivations and desires, expertly manipulating the conversation to his advantage. Finally, he leaned forward, his voice taking on a conspiratorial tone."I'll take the job. But I must warn you, my methods can be...unorthodox. Are you prepared to take that risk?"The man hesitated, then nodded eagerly. "I'll do whatever it takes to get what I want."Lecter's smile widened as he extended his hand, sealing the deal.As the client left, Lecter fe

The halls blasted away with the sound of music and ecstacy. Cecil say down in one of the sofa that were lying casually about the place. He took a smoke and then watched the girl dancing seductively. She sent constant eye glances at him and he just watched her as his arousal built.Then the girl approached him and slowly began to grind on him. Cecil chuckled and smiled, her perfume giving him all the pheromones he needed."Should we get out of here?" She asked. Cecil was about to stand up and leave with her when he saw Tommy's men approach. He studied them closely and he knew that they are looking for him. But why? Where was Tommy?Finally they caught sight of him and then approached. They gave him a bow and he waved the girl off with his hand."You lot better have a good reason for this interruption," Cecil said to them. They exchanged glances but none of them spoke. Cecil's anger rose up as he slapped one of them across the face."Well? Out with it! What are you doing here when you'r

EpilogueIt's been five years since Lecter defeated Bruce that fateful night. And from that timeframe, a lot of things had happened."Dad, we'll miss the show. We have to go now," Liana, Lecter's daughter called out from the car.Anna smiled while Lecter approached with a briefcase at hand."I can tell them to come perform for you here at the mansion, my princess," Lecter said to Liana but she rolled her eyes and pouted."It wouldn't be the same, dad. I want to watch the show with my friends too," Liana replied."Your daughter is very stubborn, Lecter James," Anna stretched forth her hand and took the briefcase from Lecter before he proceeded to kiss her lips."I wonder where she got that from," Lecter said sarcastically and Anna scoffed. They soon got into the car and zoomed off. Along the way, Lecter's phone rang. It was the president."Mr President, you honor me with your call," Lecter said."Mr James. I want to personally thank you for what you did for our country. We would have

Rachel’s eyes widened, genuine fear finally breaking through her tough exterior. She was ready to burst into tears when Bruce turned back to her, his gun still in hand. “See what happens to those who cross me? Want to be part of them?” He asked angrily. Before Rachel could respond, the door burst open. Lecter stormed in, his presence filling the room with an electric charge. “Bruce!” He shouted, his voice echoing off the walls. Bruce turned, gun raised, ready to face his nemesis. “Lecter. Finally decided to show your face? You’ve been hiding behind her all this while, haven’t you?”Lecter’s eyes were cold, calculating. “This ends now, Bruce. No more games.” Bruce laughed, a harsh, mirthless sound. “You think you can take me down? You’re a fool to think so, Lecter.” Lecter moved with lightning speed, closing the distance between them in a heartbeat. He knocked the gun from Bruce’s hand, sending it skidding across the floor. The two men clashed in a brutal hand to

Bruce stared out the window of Raphael's former office, which was now his own. The city was alive before him, a web of lights and life, oblivious to the power struggles that took place within its own shadows.He had fought hard to get where he was, as far as he was concerned, taking over Raphael's organization after the old boss's untimely demise. But victory felt hollow. Ursula, his sister, had deserted him, leaving him to run the business alone. He scowled, thinking of her betrayal.And besides, he had bigger fish to fry. Lecter. That bastard had managed to slip from his hands the other day, but he wouldn’t be so lucky next time. The door to the office opened, and Bruce turned, expecting one of his new underlings. Instead, Rachel walked in, and Cecil came in after her. He gave Cecil a questioning look, and he responded with shaking his head, so he turned back to Rachael. Her presence was like a punch to the gut. He hadn't seen her since their last heated argument, and her sudden

Lecter picked up the phone. “Lecter, it's Rachel.” She said hurriedly. “I know where Bruce is. He's at an old warehouse on the east side of the city.” “Are you sure?” Lecter asked, his heart pounding. He was ready to give up all his wealth for Anna. “Positive.” Rachel replied. “I’ve been following him. He doesn't know I'm onto him yet.” “Thank you, Rachel. I owe you.” “A million dollars, I’m sure. Just get them out safe.” Rachel said. “I'll keep an eye out and make sure he doesn't slip away.” Lecter hung up and called his bodyguards. “We have a location. I’ll send the coordinates now, move out immediately!” As Lecter and his men sped towards the warehouse, he felt nothing but anger and fear. He couldn’t lose Anna and Mia, especially not to Bruce. Not like this, at least.- - - Bruce was in full panic mode now. He knew it was only a matter of time before Lecter arrived. He looked at Anna and Mia, who were watching him in silence. “What are we going to do?” Cecil ask

Lecter sat in his upper minimalist office that gave him the best view in the city. The large window that went roof to floor made him feel like he had the entire world at his feet, and currently, that was how he felt. He had just closed a multi million dollar deal and was ready to call it a day when his phone rang. The caller ID showed a number that looked familiar, but he hadn't seen in a while. His brows furrowed as he picked up. “Lecter here.” He said, his voice cold. “Hello, old friend.” Came the reply, cold as ice. Lecter's heart skipped a beat. It was Bruce. “What do you want, Bruce?” Lecter asked Cooley. “Straight to the point as always. See, I have something— or rather, someone that belongs to you.” Bruce said, a sinister chuckle following his words. “Two someones, actually.” He laughed like a maniac. Lecter’s grip on the phone tightened. “What are you talking about?” “You might know Anna and Mia.” Bruce said casually, as if he was just discussing the weather.

Raj's hands trembled as he dialed Anna's number. He had been trying to reach Mia for hours, but her phone went straight to voicemail. He was getting worried."Anna, it's Raj. I need your help," he said, trying to keep his voice calm.Anna's concerned tone was immediate. "Raj, what's wrong?""It's Mia. She left the house a few hours ago to meet with Detective Bruce, but she's not responding to my calls or messages. I'm getting really worried."Anna's pause was brief. "I'll try to reach her. Can you tell me more about what happened?"Raj explained how Mia had been acting strange lately, and how she had received a mysterious message that had shaken her. He told Anna about Mia's decision to meet with Detective Bruce, hoping to uncover some answers."I should have gone with her," Raj said, regret creeping into his voice.Anna reassured him. "You did the right thing, Raj. Mia needed some space. But now, let's focus on finding her."Raj's anxiety grew as Anna went silent, presumably trying t

"Who are you? What do you want? Get your fucking hands off me this instant!" Cecil continued to yell as the people who had taken him led him through a rather long corridor. There was a large cloth over his head but Cecil could definitely feep where he was."I demand you to release me this instant!" He yelled again but none of them said anything. Then they stopped, opened a door and stepped inside a room. They then dropped Cecil on the ground and walked away.Cecil breathed heavily while he tried to make sense of the darkness around him. He heard footsteps approaching him and braced himself."You will regret ever abducting me! I will destroy you!" Cecil snapped. Then the cloth was taken off his head and Bruce's face came into view."You will do yourself a great favor by stopping to make threats. We both know they don't serve you," he said to Cecil who watched him slowly."Detective Bruce? What happened to you?" He asked Bruce who walked to a wooden chair and sat down."I'm not a dete

Cecil drove back home, feeling very satisfied after humiliating the sex worker. He couldn't believe that all what he needed to feel so good was to humiliate someone else, this shifting his position as the humiliated. He drove back to his mansion, the night calling with it's dark embrace. As soon as Cecil parked his car, he stepped down and then looked at his men."Did I have any visitors?" He asked them."Not at all sir. It's been quiet since you left," they replied to him. Cecil grunted and walked into his house grumbling. As he walked, he remembered Lecter and the terrible blow that he'd been dealt. How was it that he hadn't been able to take Lecter out? It didn't make sense to Cecil, and he just found the entire thing very weird. But he proceeded to just go inside.He went into the room where he was keeping Sophia locked up. As soon as he opened the door, Sophia whimpered in fear."Why are you still awake?" He asked her with anger in his voice."Thinking about how to kill you," s

Cecil fumed in his house while he waited for his men to return. He had sent them on a very important mission, one that could possibly turn the tides of the entire drag of power. When Cecil heard that they were back, he quickly rushed down to meet with them. However, the men had a gloomy look on their faces."What is it? What happened?" Cecil asked them. The men exchanged glances before one of them spoke up "Sorry boss, but the house was empty," he said to Cecil."Empty? What do you mean empty? Lecter's mansion is never empty. It's always filled with people and we know this!" He said to the man."Yes boss. However, not this time. The mansion was empty. There was no one there. Not even a dog. It was as if they vacated the place," the man replied.Cecil was in shock. There was no way Lecter could have predicted accurately what he wanted to do, right? Or did he have a spy in his house? Someone reporting his works to Lecter?"What did you do about the house?" He asked the man. "We burn
