"I... I don't understand." Flint stuttered. Mrs Martin narrowed her eyes towards Jason with a murderous gaze."What's there not to understand? Flint is dead and it's your fault." She said. "What did you do to him," she said again in a low tone. "What did you have him do that made the dragon General kill him." She screamed as she charged at him. Jason's father quickly stepped in and held her away from his son. Jason was panting in fear, he never expected that something like this would happen.Worse of all, he told Flint to be discreet about this plan so it wouldn't be able to be traceable to them.Jason's father noticed his son was dipped in thoughts.He wanted to squeeze the life away from the boy that always gave him a headache but he couldn't because he was his flesh and blood.He charged at the boy, tightly gripping his collars."What did you do? You stupid boy." Jason's father asked harshly."Honey calm down, don't hurt him too much it's not his fault." Jason's mother was ple
The tension in the room was palpable as the two former friends and allies faced off against each other. Once they were united but a mistake ruined years of friendship.Jason's father, contemplated reason with Emily, but she was beyond consolation.She was bent on getting what she wanted and showed no sign that she was going to back down.He was going to deal with his son but he was not letting him be murdered."Avenge your son?" James repeated, his voice laced with disbelief. "Emily, think about what you're doing. You're letting your grief and anger cloud your judgment."The whole bickering was beginning to bore Mrs Martin.She couldn't wait for the other members to arrive so they could decide on the case."How many times am I going to explain this to you." "You have no right to lecture me, James. Your son is the one who got my son killed. He's the one who deserves to die." Mrs Martin's eyes flashed with anger."I know my son made a mistake, Emily. But killing him won't bring Flint
"A vote?" Jason's father's voice was laced with worry. He had worked with these people for years and he more than anyone knew what they were capable of. "Yes, a vote so that it will be fair justice." Mr Brown smiled. "It's not going to be justice if you want to murder my son." Jason's father yelled. "Murder? Perhaps." Mr Almer's face turned into a smile."But it is not like your son is innocent either." Mr Smith said."Yes, your son has proven to be a danger to our cause and he must be eliminated." Mr Brown said.Mrs Martin nodded her head in agreement. She likes the way she was getting support from the rest members and it was only a matter of time before they pressured Jason's father into giving up his son. "Danger? What kind of danger could he possibly hold? He's a boy." Jason's father said."A very foolish one at that." Mr Smith remarked as he rolled his eyes."James, we know your son is a delinquent. He was the reason why we lost our strongest hold and not Evelyn." Mr. Almer
When Sullivan went back to the hospital he found Erica sleeping soundly and he felt peace.He reached out and ran his hands over her hair.He didn't like hiding things from them. But for her sake, he was going to try.The more he gazed upon Erica's peaceful face, he felt a pang in his heart. He wished he could tell her the truth, but he knew he couldn't.He only hoped that she wouldn't hate him when she found out about the things he did.Just then, Erica stirred, her eyes fluttering open.Sullivan quickly turned his eyes because they were already filled with tears.He didn't want her to see him in this kind of state. "Sullivan?" she whispered, her voice weak.Sullivan's heart skipped a beat. He heaved a deep sigh before he rushed to her side. "Hey, baby. How are you feeling?" "I'm okay. I'm just a little tired." Erica's eyes focused on him, and she smiled weakly.Sullivan's eyes welled up with tears but did his best to control the emotions that threatened to overwhelm him as he to
"What is it?" Sullivan asked. He noticed John was giving him a signal that he couldn't say it in front of his wife. "I'll be back," Sullivan said to Erica. When he was about to leave she held him back. "Where are you going?" She asked with skepticism. "I'll be back," Sullivan said with an assuring smile. He gives her a soft kiss on her head and leaves with John. Erica knew something shady was going on and Sullivan was hiding it. But why? This was the question she asked herself as she lay down on the bed. With a deep sigh, she closes her eyes to a slumber. Sullivan made sure they were outside the hospital before he turned to John. He knew Erica was smart and she could follow them and eavesdrop on their conversation. "What is the situation?" Sullivan asked. "It's chaotic amongst the five great families," John said. "Oh," Sullivan smirked as he raised a brow to John. "Mrs Martin wanted revenge for her son but Mr Jab refused to give his son up," John said. "
Chapter 66Sullivan rushed further into the room so he could get a clear view.He glanced at the bed but it was empty.John quickly rushed to his side when Sullivan clenched his chest tightly."General," John called out to him.Sullivan could only hear John's faint voice as he held onto the side of the wall for support.His head was spinning and he was finding it extremely difficult to breathe.John gave Sullivan a gentle shake but Sullivan couldn't move he just kept panting heavily."Someone sends a doctor immediately," John yelled."General!"

John stuttered, unsure of what to say."Sullivan.." Erica's eyes widened as she paused when he hugged her tightly."What happened to the general, I came as fast as I could." Th

The doctor cleared his throat, reminding the couple that he was still present.He has a smile on his face as he runs more tests on Erica.Sullivan's hungry eyes glared at the doctor, waiting for this response."How is she?" Sullivan asked."Ah, yes, sorry about that," the doctor said with a chuckle, his eyes twinkling with amusement.When he realized he was taking up too much time."As I was saying, Erica's test results are all coming back normal. Her vitals are stable, and she's showing no signs of any serious illness or injury."Erica's heart leaped with joy as she heaved a sigh of relief.Now she was able to go home soon.Sullivan's eyes narrowed his face tense with anxiety. He was still not convinced by the doctor's words."What about her exhaustion? She's been pushing herself too hard, I know it."Erica playfully nudged at his arm as she chuckled."I haven't been doing anything that would make me feel exhausted." She said.Sullivan raised a brow toward his wife with dead eyes."I
