"He knows uncle Mike. He fucking knows!" Rex yelled over the phone while he spoke with his Uncle. He had not expected the meeting with Lecter to go that sour and while it did so, he could feel his compulsions returning.Rex had been trying so hard to control his anger issues but when Lecter refused to sign, he felt everything snap."Calm down, Rex. You are the freaking CEO of this company. Pull yourself together and act like one," he said to Rex who just crashed into a chair and sighed."You tried to go against me and see where it has led you. You cannot go against me, Rex. I am wiser and more experienced than you are. Don't you think that I would have gotten all the information that I need by now?" Mike questioned."I don't even know who I can trust anymore. As far as I can tell, you are one of those trying to do me harm. You never liked that I became CEO, did you?" Rex asked him. Mike laughed while Rex poured himself a drink."This is ridiculous. You are my nephew. Your father's wea

It's been six days since the incident with Rex occured at Lecter's office. All throughout this time, Rex has been quite, but Lecter knew better than to ever underestimate his foes. So, as Lecter stepped down from his new edition Mercedes-Benz car in front of an orphanage, he tried to keep his mind on the game. He was a very important guest for the event tonight and he had to behave as such."Mr James, welcome to Bell's orphanage. We are so pleased to have you with us today," a beautiful young lady said to him while Lecter smiled in return."This is a nice place you have here. The children must be so happy," Lecter opined while he took a look at the orphanage. The young lady's expression immediately went sour but she still managed to keep a smiling face."Not quite, Mr James. The orphanage is crashing fast. That is why we organized this fund raiser party tonight to appeal to benefactors." She said to him. Lecter arched a brow."What's happening with the orphanage?" He questioned her.

"Did you see who it was?" Bruce asked Lecter as the police circled the event center. The bullet that was meant for Lecter had killed someone else, and due to that, all guests were being reviewed to ensure that the killer was not among them."No. It all happened so fast. I couldn't get a closer look at the shooter," Lecter said to Bruce. Bruce sighed as he gazed at Lecter."Mr James, I know you saw something. You're like of those superheroes in movies. Tell me what you saw and we can work together to ensure that the culprit is brought to justice," he said to Lecter who just kept gazing at him."What about the CCTV cameras? Have you done a sweep yet?" Lecter asked Bruce."The cameras came back clean. Apparently, this person managed to escape the cameras to try and kill someone in this building. Which begs the question, Mr James, were you the intended target?" Bruce questioned."How would I know? I'm not the cop here. You tell me," Lecter replied."Don't you want to work with me? Because

Mike drove recklessly to Lena's house and as soon as the car parked outside of her house, he stepped down and muttered some curse words to himself. Mike looked around the street that night, the neighborhood was serene, the air was heavy. It was a perfect night for a murder."Alright, let's do this," Mike told the assassin who stepped down as well. He too surveyed the environment and brought out a silencer.Mike arched his brow at the sight of the gun."What do you think you're doing with that?" Mike questioned. The assassin turned to him with surprise in his face."I am getting ready to do the job. What else do you think?" He asked Mike who scoffed."Did I tell you that I trusted you enough to let you handle this? You already fucked up things with Lecter. Do you want to fuck this up too?" He asked while the assassin just frowned."What happened with Lecter James, sir, was a mistake that will never repeat itself again. In my line of work, such mistakes happen a lot. Maybe you should re

"We were once together. A long time ago. That was before I got a job at his brother's company. Things were pretty normal back then. He was normal. We had dreams together. Aspirations.. when our world collided, it was like we were invincible," Lena stopped while drinking from the cup of calming tea that the servant had made for her.Lecter sat down on the couch opposite to hers and standing besides him was Alaric who also listened carefully to all that was being said."Well, that was until he started to have selfish dreams that no longer involved me. He once shared with me a thought, that someday, as the black sheep of the family, he would return to claim all the wealth that his family never offered to him. I saw that as a moment of silly thoughts. Except, I was wrong." She stopped and sighed."After we broke up, I moved to the city and coincidentally, got a job at his brother's company. While we were dating, he never mentioned the name of the company, not even once. So it got to a poi

Lecter stepped out of the mansion that morning in the usual as he has been doing for seven consecutive days. He wore his health kits and jogged all the way to the outskirts of the town, around certain blocks and then made a push to return by passing through an alley."Boss, how's the run?" Alaric asked over the phone."Stamina is building. Are you in position?" Lecter asked him."Yes boss. We are waiting in the alley. All we need now is for the assassin to show up and we will kill him," Alaric said to Lecter."The assassin has showed up already, Alaric. Infact, he is following me right now as we speak," Lecter said and carefully gazed at the man who had been tailing him for a very long time. The man, like Lecter had disguised to be a runner.Lecter smirked as he kept jogging. The assassination had no idea what awaited him."What do you want us to do now boss? Should we come to you?" Alaric asked but Lecter rocked his head in the negative although Alaric couldn't see it."No. Stay put.

The doorbell to Zhang's mansion rang and the security man by the gate rushed to see who it was. When the man saw the black SUV at the gate, he frowned."State your business," the security man said to Kevin who was driving. At the back of the car was Lecter and Alaric, and sitting with Kevin at the front of the car was Bone."We're here to see the boss. Zhang. Let us pass," Kevin said to the security man who instantly composed himself on seeing Kevin."Oh, it's you? You should have told me the moment you got here. I was beginning to employ protocols on you," the security man joked."Admit it, you've always wanted to do that," Kevin said to him. Then, the security man gazed at the rest of the persons inside the car with a frown."I've never seen them before though," he said to Kevin."They are with me and they're important guests of the boss. Do you wish to keep me waiting here?" Kevin questioned."I just have to follow protocols. The boss said he's not in the mood for guests. That is w

Kevin drove back to the mansion in awe of what he just witnessed. It was still morning at that time, and as he parked the car, Kevin just exhaled.Without saying another word to him, Bone and Alaric stepped out of the car. They went inside while Lecter dropped as well and Kevin followed him closely."So, what do you want me to do now?" He asked Lecter who kept a poker face."What do you want to do?" Lecter asked him. Kevin shrugged his shoulders."I don't really know. It seems like you are asking me to change everything that I have ever been. Killing people has always been what I'm good at. That may be funny but it's true." Kevin said and a servant opened the door to the main building."Did I tell you to do otherwise? You're only changing motivation. There comes a time in life when you must defend yourself against those that wish to do you harm. What I'm giving you, Kevin, is a new purpose," Lecter said to him."I don't know if I can function here. I mean, take a look at Alaric and Bo

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
