Rise Of The Mafia Lord Chapter 31. Fatherly Love
Erik's voice echoed through the KWE mansion's grand foyer. "Father, you've returned."I nodded, my eyes locking onto his. "The media?"Erik's expression remained impassive. "They're calling it the most brutal murder in history, Father."He handed me a slender white file. "Kelvin Nguyen is next. This contains everything we have on him."As I accepted the file, I studied Erik's face. The once-vibrant boy had given way to a man shrouded in pain and sadness. His eyes, now void of emotion, troubled me.The KWE mansion, our stronghold, loomed around us – a five-story fortress with reinforced steel, numerous rooms, training and meeting halls, and an expansive armory. But amidst this grandeur, my son's sorrow weighed heavily on my heart."Erik, walk with me," I said, turning toward the serene garden.As we strolled, the silence between us grew. I pondered Erik's future, knowing this life wasn't the one I wanted for him."Erik, what's troubling you?" I asked, breaking the silence."I sense it'
Rise Of The Mafia Lord Chapter 32. Prepare for War
Pitch darkness shrouded the school, punctuated by screams and gunfire. I sat enthroned on a wooden chair, reveling in the chaos.Before me, Kelvin Nguyen waged a desperate battle against twelve obsidian soldiers forged from darkness itself. Their black armor seemed impervious to his bullets.Behind me, identical shadow soldiers stood guard, their presence a menacing echo of the ones Kelvin fought.With each narrowly avoided sword strike, Kelvin's odds of survival dwindled. His bullets merely ricocheted off the shadow soldiers' armor.In contrast, Kelvin's body bore the brunt of the battle. Lacerations crisscrossed his flesh, and blood streamed down his limbs.Kelvin's determination faltered with each passing moment, his movements slowing under the relentless onslaught.Yet, he refused to yield.“ARGHHHHH!” His scream echoed in the darkness as his right arm fell to the floor. The pain from his severed arm caused him to lose focus, thereby bringing him into a world full of pain as his
Rise Of The Mafia Lord Chapter 33. Xavier's New Companies
After checking out my status window, I decided to move on to the last target I have on my list: Ronald Oscar. I plan on making him a horror movie character. Taking out my phone, I dialled Starlet's number.“Change of plans, bring the other two to the Wardogs training room. I will also bring in Ronald Oscar as well. It's time for the world to witness a horror movie scene.”“Okay.” he replied. The click sound told me the line had been disconnected. I got everything ready and walked towards my PCJ600 powerbike.Do I really need to still find and kill these men? Yes I do.. every second they are living feels like a needle pricking my skin. Every day they are not dead feels like I'm merged into a boiling lake of lava. I have to make sure they all die an excruciating death, and I have just the perfect way to kill them.I inserted the powerbike key at the ignition interlock and startup the bike.'Time to hunt'*I stopped at Ronald's neighborhood. Taking off my helmet, I walked towards his ho
Rise Of The Mafia Lord Chapter 34. Plans
Xavier's eyes gleamed with satisfaction as he gazed out the hotel window. Two companies under his belt, and his plan was unfolding perfectly."Ding! Host, system integration complete. Company AI infrastructure online."Xavier's laptop screen flickered to life, displaying the integrated systems of Omni Defense and NovaTech."System, initiate protocol 'Eclipse.'"The AI, codenamed "Erebus," sprang to life."Protocol Eclipse initiated. Concealing company ownership and financial transactions."Xavier nodded, his mind racing with the possibilities. With Eclipse in place, his empire would remain hidden from prying eyes.The phone buzzed again. Maximus."Xavier, meet me at the usual place. We need to discuss your progress."Xavier's instincts flared. What did Maximus want now?He arrived at the designated location, a nondescript warehouse on the outskirts of town. Maximus awaited, his expression unreadable."You've made impressive strides, Xavier," Maximus said. "But there's more to be done.

Xavier's phone buzzed as he left the meeting with Sofia and Senator Morse."Xavier, Rykhard Industries' bid is just the tip of the iceberg," Maximus said, his voice low."What do you mean?" Xavier asked, his mind racing."Rykhard's CEO, Victor Rykhard, has ties to the Aethoria Empire. This is more than just a business deal."Xavier's grip on his phone tightened. "What's the connection?""Victor Rykhard's sister, Eliana, is married to the Emperor's son. This is a power play."Xavier's eyes narrowed. "We need to take down Rykhard Industries.""I agree," Maximus said. "But we'll need more than just money and influence.""What do you propose?" Xavier asked."We need someone with access to the Empire's inner circle."Xavier's thoughts turned to Frank, the former God of War from the Aethoria Empire."Frank," Xavier said, his voice firm.Maximus paused. "You think he'll help?"Xavier's determination grew. "I'll make sure he does."As Xavier ended the call, Sofia appeared beside him."Xavier,

The darkness was oppressive, the team's frantic whispers filling the air.Xavier's grip on his phone tightened. "Maximus, get the backup generators online!"Maximus's voice was laced with urgency. "Working on it, Xavier!"Frank's eyes locked onto the screens. "I'll manually override the system."Janice's gaze never left Frank. "I'll assist."Sofia's voice whispered in Xavier's ear. "Don't trust Janice."Xavier's eyes narrowed. "Why?"Sofia's smile was fleeting. "She's hiding something."As the generators hummed to life, the screens flickered back on.The hacking progress was alarming.Frank's fingers flew across the keyboard. "I've almost got it."Janice stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Frank, her eyes fixed on the screen.Xavier watched, his instincts screaming warning.Suddenly, Janice's hand brushed against Frank's.A spark of electricity seemed to pass between them.Frank's eyes locked onto Janice's.Xavier's heart sank."Frank, no!" Xavier shouted.But it was too late.Frank's exp

Xavier, Sofia, and Maximus approached Rykhard Industries' headquarters, their guns drawn. The building's sleek glass facade seemed to shimmer in the fading light, a symbol of the empire's opulence and corruption."Remember the plan," Xavier whispered. "Sofia takes the east wing, Maximus the west. I'll handle the central command center."Sofia nodded, her eyes locked on the building. "Let's move."As they entered, the lobby's silence was oppressive. The receptionist's desk was abandoned, the usual bustle replaced by an eerie stillness."Something's off," Maximus whispered.Xavier's grip on his gun tightened. "Stay alert."They split up, Xavier making his way to the central command center. The doors slid open with a soft hiss, revealing Victor Rykhard's imposing figure."Welcome, Xavier," Rykhard said, his voice dripping with malice. "I've been expecting you."Xavier's eyes locked onto Rykhard's. "It's over. Your empire is crumbling."Rykhard chuckled. "You're too late. The data's alrea

Xavier, Sofia, and Maximus stood outside the ruins of the mansion, the dust settling around them."It's done," Sofia whispered, her eyes scanning the destruction.Xavier's gaze locked onto the rubble. "The Order is dismantled."Maximus nodded. "But at what cost?"Xavier's thoughts turned to Ava, who had sacrificed herself to reveal The Archon's identity."Ava's sacrifice won't be forgotten," Xavier said.Sofia's hand found Xavier's. "We've made a difference."But amidst the triumph, Xavier's unease grew. The Archon's words echoed in his mind: "You'll never stop the Order."Suddenly, Xavier's phone buzzed – an unknown number."Xavier," a low voice said, "The Archon was just a pawn."Xavier's grip on his phone tightened. "Who is this?"The line went dead.Xavier's eyes locked onto Sofia's. "It's not over."Sofia's gaze narrowed. "What's happening?"Xavier's jaw clenched. "There's another player in the shadows."Their journey was far from over.As they walked away from the rubble, Xavier

Maximus's eyes lit up with excitement. "Ah, the Hale Manor. I've heard so much about it. It's going to be a pleasure to watch you take them down, Xavier."Xavier's gaze turned cold, his mind focused on the task ahead. "Let's get this over with. I have a score to settle."As they approached the Hale Manor, Xavier could feel the weight of his past bearing down on him. He had been born into this family, but they had never accepted him. They had treated him like dirt, like he was nothing.But now, Xavier was back, and he was not alone. He had Maximus by his side, and together, they were unstoppable.The gates of the Hale Manor swung open, and Xavier's eyes locked onto the mansion. It was just as he remembered it - grand, opulent, and cold."Shall we?" Maximus asked, a hint of amusement in his voice.Xavier nodded, his jaw clenched. "Let's do this."As they stepped into the mansion, Xavier was met with the familiar sight of his family's portraits hanging on the walls. He felt a surge of an

Chapter 62. Thank Heavens
I stood at the entrance of the dark tower with anger and hatred burning in my eyes. I just found out that my mate has been faithful to me all these while and she was even the one who helped me escape the subatomic world, but those witches tried to fill my head with lies and fabricated photos, not to mention the torture I went through in their hands. And I will make them suffer a hundredth fold.“How do you wish to play this Maximus?” the demon wolf asked. I clutched the handle of my sword so tight my knuckles were white.“Slow, painful, near death and then an undesirable death.” I said grinning from ear to ear. If someone was there to capture my expression at that moment, I'm sure the person will shudder from fear as I knew I looked like the smiling devil.“Let's go harvest their fears, anger and lives.” the demon wolf said.I dashed into the lobby and was met with the whizzing sound of lightening.“Did you think we won't notice your disappearance?” a girl in plain white came out from

Chapter 61. Captured
I slowly opened my eyes, only to be consumed by darkness. The blackness was suffocating, making it impossible to see beyond my own nose.I tried to stand, but my body refused to cooperate, anchored to a mysterious chair.Panic threatened to overwhelm me, but I forced myself to calm down. I attempted to meditate, seeking a connection with the demon wolf within. Silence greeted me.A melodic voice pierced the darkness, its sweetness laced with venom. "Don't bother striving for what's beyond your grasp."I gritted my teeth, fighting to maintain composure. "Who's there? Show yourself!"The voice chuckled, a manic edge creeping in. "The legendary Roman Prince, Maximus Aurelius, bringer of death, now reduced to a helpless captive."Her laughter sent shivers down my spine. I struggled to recall how I ended up here, how I lost consciousness, and who this mysterious woman was."You've discovered you can't reach the demon wolf within," she said, her amusement evident.A spark of realization ign

Chapter 60. Illusion
As I approached the tower, my expectations shattered. Instead of a dark, foreboding Rapunzel-esque spire, a sleek glass skyscraper pierced the sky. I snorted. "Evil tower, indeed."The locals must have never seen a skyscraper before, I thought, or they've been trapped in their quaint town for too long. They sure reminded me of the locals in Rome. What would Commodus when he sees the modern Rome now? He was just immature to kill his father for the throne. Too bad he didn't get to enjoy his time as King.With a flourish, I unsheathed my swords and stepped into the building. The lobby's eerie silence enveloped me. Empty halls stretched out, devoid of life.I strode to the elevator, pressed the top-floor button, and waited. Minutes ticked by, yet the elevator didn't budge. Confusion gnawed at me.Just then, a familiar voice whispered in my ear. "I smell magic here, Maximus."I turned to face the demon wolf, surprised. "You're still here? I thought you'd wandered off."The wolf's gaze lock

The skeletal figure raised its hands to the sky. "As the dead obey Hades, so shall they obey me," it declared. "I summon all doomed souls within Minos' territory. Rise as death knights and heed my call."The ground trembled, and skeletal hands burst forth from the earth. Quickly, they multiplied - ten, hundreds, then thousands. Each wore black armor and wielded fiery swords.I merely smirked, stared at the clone like it was some kind of a stupid creature.“The more, the merrier, this just got more fun. And here I thought you were some mighty creature, I was wrong, you're just another dumb prey.”I gripped my sword and dashed towards the vast army at superhuman speed.I was like a blur to them and they were unable to retaliate. The death knights were falling, battered, dismembered, headless and burnt. But then I soon began to feel weak.Why the hell was I feeling weak? I should be feeling stronger the more I kill, shouldn't I?“Do you feel it now demon wolf?” The clone smiled and said.

Chapter 58. Fierce Duel
As our helicopter soared towards London's outskirts, I sat between Major Triston Allen and Sergeant Anderson Marshal.Major Allen spoke through the headset, "Did you know Minos de First slaughtered 2,300 apprentices to revive his soulmate? Now, he controls an army of death knights and skeleton soldiers."I remained silent, sensing he was trying to provoke me.Sergeant Anderson responded, "That's ridiculous! Who confirms this?"Major Allen replied, "Intel from reliable sources. We're in over our heads, guys."I stayed quiet, unsure why they'd joined this perilous mission.Sergeant Anderson asked, "Xavier, what's your take on this?"I remained silent, lost in thought.Major Allen pressed on, "We need to know what we're up against. Xavier?"Sergeant Anderson intervened, "Let him focus, Major. We'll brief soon enough."The helicopter flew on, tension lingering.“No one has ever gone into his cave and returned.” Anderson said.So he truly is the most terrifying Necromancer alive. No one ha

«Ding!Two hours to doors unlock!» the AI system spoke out.Maximus smiled at Xavier."You must be wondering why I'm being such a talkative.""Yes, in fact, it's begining to annoy me. We're stock in here for another two hours." Xavier said. He really wanted to leave the facility and proceed with his plan to take down all Mafia families."I will keep you company for the next two hours then." Maximus said with feigned sadness."Dude! we're in this together!" Xavier almost blew his top."Then allow me to continue my life story." Maximus said beaming with smiles."What? weren't you through with all that.." Xavier was about to complain but Maximus placed his hand on Xavier's mouth."Hush, don't interrupt."*It was a few years after I returned from Rome, approximately twelve years after Rome. I got called up by Lucius, but this time, I had to hunt down and eliminate a few anomalies. Those with magic and systems just like you and I.I left the airport and hailed a cab to take me to the emba

Chapter 56. Return Home
It's been almost four years since Commodus brutally killed my father, plunging Rome into chaos. Daily, I heard horrifying stories of murder, rape, and war - the very evils my father had worked tirelessly to eradicate.Seeking justice, I waited patiently for the perfect moment to strike. Then, I learned Commodus had revived the brutal gladiator battles my father despised. Seeing an opportunity, I decided to become a gladiator to infiltrate Rome and get close to Commodus.Now, as a top-ranked gladiator, I've proven my skills in the arena."Spaniard, beware of the Roman gladiators," Motumba, a friendly dark-skinned gladiator from the desert, cautioned. "They're formidable opponents."I reassured him, "Don't worry, Motumba. They're human, just like us. We can beat them."Or, if you'd like a more modern and conversational tone:It's been four years since Commodus murdered my dad and sent Rome into chaos. I've been waiting for the right moment to take revenge.Then, I heard Commodus was hos

I approached Father, bowing slightly. "Father, the war with Germania is over, just as I promised."He dismounted his horse, hugged me, and kissed my cheek. "The gods blessed us the day you defeated the cyclops. You've liberated Rome once more."I smiled. "Rome gave me a home, and for that, I'm forever grateful."I took his hand, joking, "Let's go home, Father. You smell like dust and smoke."Father laughed, glancing at the approaching nobles. "The young Caesar thinks I need caring for."The nobles chuckled. I was taken aback. Did he just call me "Young Caesar"? Does he plan to make me his successor? What about Commodus?Uncomfortable, I decided to address it.“Father, what young Caesar, I am not even of royal birth, besides, you have Commodus.” I said but he only smiled.“Walk with me son. We need to talk.” he said and I then held his hand.We walked through the ranks of the Roman soldiers and onto the path leading to the outskirt of the battlefield.“All of Rome have chosen you as th
