"I promised the people that I was going to see them," Erica said.Sullivan understood when she said the people she meant those former prisoners from the Lowell Tower.After Jason fled, he was able to seize control of the Lowell tower which was the Five Great Families stronghold and thanks to Erica he was able to find it.Sullivan freed the prisoners and the ones that had family to go back to were able to leave but the majority had nowhere to go so they stayed at the tower until Sullivan worked at a solution."Do you have to go," Sullivan whined."Of course, I don't break my promises and I need to send them provisions too," Erica explained."Why does it have to be you, you can always send the maids and the soldiers."Erica let out a sigh, wondering when her husband had become so clingy. It was a puzzling change for her to comprehend."These people are scared and we need them to trust us, if you want to take down the five great families they will serve a crucial role in doing that."Sul
"General I found something," John said with a straight face."Shh!" Sullivan quickly hushed John to be silent."What are you planning to hide this time." Erica flung her eyes open."You're awake." Sullivan stuttered."What!" Erica glared at him angrily"You thought I was asleep what are you hiding this time." Sullivan's heart raced, and he could feel the weight of Erica's unwavering determination. He took a deep breath, finally gathering the courage to meet her gaze. "Okay," he said, his voice filled with a mix of apprehension " I'll tell you everything.""I'm waiting." She fixed her gaze on Sullivan, waiting for him to break the silence and speak up.With her arms crossed, she patiently awaited John's words, her eyes fixed on him.Sullivan couldn't help but feel defeated, and he turned to John, instructing him to speak up."I've been able to retrieve the information from the drive, which was provided by Mr William.""I'm sorry to cut you short but who's Mr William" Erica turned to S
Sullivan's senses heightened as his father's name reached his ears. So, it seemed that they were indeed involved in the devastating obliteration of his entire family. The weight of this realization bore down on him, fueling his anger and resentment."This was the file that Mr William said was encrypted somehow it was copied into the drive."Erica noticed Sullivan was completely lost when he heard that particular name."Who's James Douglas," Erica asked."He's my father," Sullivan replied, his expression lost in thoughts."It's all just names and I've looked it up every single person on that list is dead .it's like they were wiped off from the face of the earth."Sullivan's determination surged as he yearned to uncover the truth behind the events of those fateful years. His father was a hardworking construction worker employed by the renowned five great families, somehow he was entangled in a mystery that ultimately resulted in a tragic murder. The pieces of the puzzle were waiting t
"I'm glad to see that you're okay." Erica sighed in relief as the nurse did her checkup."Thank you for saving me." Miriam hugged Erica tightly"You saved everyone.""I should thank you, without your help, I don't think I would have been able to do anything.""It's good to see you again, Lady Erica." Penny remarked, leaning on the side of the wall"It's good to see you didn't bail out on us."The two ladies broke from her embrace, and Erica smirked at Penny."I told you I was going to save everyone. Didn't I?""Technically we are still here but not just shackled like prisoners." Penny rolled her eyes."It's just for the moment, the dragon General promises he's going to provide everything needed to make everyone comfortable until he works out a solution.""So we are still prisoners, how are we supposed to just trust him." Penny frowned as she crossed her arms.Erica gives a warm smile, she goes over to meet Penny then she places both hands on the side of her shoulders."Even if you don't
"This is exactly why I called everyone here."When Sullivan noticed their indifferent expression he continued."Mr. William please give us a briefing on the situation it seems everyone here does not understand how dire the situation is and also give us a breakdown of the budget." Sullivan turned to William.Mr. Williams, with a serious expression, stands at the head of the table, using a projector to display images and data. Sullivan and the rest of the alliance team sit around the table, their faces focused. "As you can see, the oil spillage in the West is a catastrophic situation," Mr. Williams said gesturing to the projector screen which displayed a satellite image of the affected area. The factories owned by the five great families have been pumping oil and toxic chemicals into the environment for years, and it's had a devastating impact."Sullivan's gaze was locked on the images, he frowned when he realized it was even worse than the last time he saw it."How bad is it, Mr. Will
"I have something else in mind," Sullivan smirked with a mischievous grin.Sullivan was leaning down to Erica when a knock on the door was heard and it made Sullivan stop in his tracks."Damn John." Sullivan gritted his teeth.Evelyn couldn't help but burst into laughter at the sight of Sullivan's expression, giggling loudly."you should go see what he's up to." "I will." Sullivan huffed in frustration.He casually leaned against the side of the door as he opened it."you have a knack for ruining my moments." Sullivan frowned"What do you want.""General, I've been able to find one last and only survivor from the names I found from the drive provided by Mr William." Sullivan's eyes widened in sheer astonishment, causing him to almost lose his balance."What? Are you sure?" "I'm positive, the name of the man we found is Oliver Stone, when he heard about the murder of his comrade he faked his death," John explained."I see, "is there anything else?" Sullivan asked."General, I was
"Who are you?" A voice from behind Sullivan asked harshly.Sullivan tried to turn his gaze but the gun pressed harder against his head."We mean no harm" Evelyn said raising both of her hands in the air when the man pointed another gun at her."What do you want?" The man said."We just came here to see Oliver stone " The man tensed up when he heard the name. He cocked the gun threatening to fire."He's dead so I suggest you leave." The man yelled.Evelyn took in the man's appearance,he had a huge beard covering his face with traces of white hair.She smirked when she realized that he looked exactly like the photo of Oliver stone although now he looks older."You're him aren't you? You are Oliver stone."Oliver was furious when he realized his cover was blown and his identity had been exposed."I have no idea who you are talking about. Who are you?" Oliver asked hurriedly."We are here to ask you what you know about James Douglas ." Sullivan said."How do you know about James, did th
Oliver wrinkled his eyes at the paper in his hands and he gave a small smile."These were the names of all the workers in my construction unit the ones murdered by those monsters.""These people are beyond evil," Evelyn remarked.Oliver glanced at Sullivan who was deep in thought, the young man was troubled."Don't think about it too much. The past is the past you must learn to move forward. One thing I learned from my short lifetime in this city is that good never prevails. I would advise you not to do anything like your father else you will get hurt and lose those you hold dear.""I won't be like my father, I will be better. I know you think good cannot prevail but I don't care, what I want is revenge and I'm going to get it." Sullivan's eyes fired up with rage."These people have been in the dirty game long before you were born what makes you think that you have what it takes to outsmart them?""I may be young but I'm determined. if I don't do anything, I will be a disgrace to my f
