Xavier reacted instinctively, tackling Julian to the ground. The two brothers wrestled, their faces inches apart."You're going to destroy everything," Xavier shouted.Julian's eyes blazed with determination. "I'm saving humanity from itself."Aria scrambled to her feet, her fingers flying across the keyboard. "I've got to override the system."Sofia and Maya provided cover, fending off The Architects' operatives pouring into the room.Victor's voice echoed through the comms. "We've got reinforcements incoming."Xavier's grip on Julian tightened. "You're not going to win."Julian's smile twisted. "I already have."The countdown timer hit 5 seconds.Aria's voice rose. "Almost there..."The room seemed to slow down, time compressing to a single moment.Xavier's eyes locked onto Julian's. "You're my brother. Stop this."For an instant, Julian's resolve wavered.The timer hit 1 second.Aria shouted, "Yes!" as she initiated the override.The countdown stopped.The room erupted into chaos,

Xavier's world froze as he stared at his father's lifeless body. The room was a blur, sounds muffled, and his heart felt like it had stopped. Aria's voice pierced the haze."Xavier, we need to move! Now!" she shouted, dragging him away from the carnage.Sofia and Maya provided cover, returning fire at the unknown assailants. Victor rushed in, his face grim."Get Xavier to safety!" he yelled.As they escaped the estate, Xavier's mind reeled. His father, a member of The Architects, lay dead. The revelation was too much to process.In the safety of Victor's headquarters, Xavier struggled to comprehend the truth. His father's involvement with The Architects. The Phoenix codename. The betrayal.Aria's gentle touch brought him back to reality."Xavier, we'll find out who did this," she promised.Xavier's eyes locked onto hers, determination burning within."I want answers," he growled.The team began their investigation, scouring for clues and tracking down leads.

Xavier's gun clashed with the mastermind's, the sound of metal scraping against metal echoing through the control room. The team provided cover, taking down hostiles left and right.Aria shouted, "Xavier, we need to disable the Phoenix protocol!"Sofia yelled back, "I'm on it! Maya, hack into the system!"Maya's fingers flew across her keyboard. "Almost there..."The mastermind sneered, "You're too late. Phoenix will rise, and nothing will stop it."Xavier's eyes blazed. "We'll stop you."With a swift kick, Xavier sent the mastermind crashing into a console. The room shook as alarms intensified."Phoenix will rise in 10 minutes," the intercom warned.Victor's voice echoed through the comms. "Xavier, we've got reinforcements arriving. Hold your position."Xavier's grip on his gun tightened. "We won't hold back."The mastermind struggled to his feet, eyes locked onto Xavier. "You'll never leave this facility alive."Xavier smiled coldly. "We'll see about that."Suddenly, Maya shouted, "
Rise Of The Mafia Lord Chapter 45. Who are you
Midnight loomed over the abandoned warehouse, shadows dancing in the flickering streetlights. Xavier, Aria, Sofia and Maya approached cautiously, guns at the ready."Remember, we're here for intel," Victor's voice whispered through their earpieces.Xavier nodded, eyes scanning the perimeter.A figure emerged from the darkness. "Xavier, glad you came."Xavier's grip on his gun tightened. "Who are you?"The figure stepped forward, revealing a shocking face. "Alexei, your father's old ally."Alexei's eyes seemed to hold a deep sadness. "I've been watching you, Xavier. You're in grave danger."Aria's eyes narrowed. "What do you know?"Alexei glanced around nervously. "Phoenix was just a test. The Architect's true plan is catastrophic."Sofia's voice was firm. "Tell us."Alexei hesitated before speaking. "A global economic collapse, orchestrated by the Architect. Your family's legacy is key."Xavier seethed. "We'll stop them."Alexei handed Xavier a small drive. "Evidence. Use it wisely."

Xavier's grip on his gun tightened as he stared at the Federal Reserve's crumbling facade. Rachel's words echoed in his mind: "The Architect's fail-safe... it's activating.""Elena, Rachel's down!" Xavier shouted into his comms device.Aria's urgent voice responded, "Xavier, get out! The Federal Reserve is collapsing!"Xavier sprinted toward the escape route, gunfire closing in. He burst through the doors, gasping for air.Maya's frantic voice pierced his earpiece. "Xavier, we're losing time! Markets are plummeting!"Xavier rushed through the chaotic streets, pursued by unknown assailants. His phone buzzed."Elena, I'm pinned down," Xavier reported."Help's en route, Xavier," Elena replied. "Hold tight."Sirens blared as Victor's team closed in. Xavier sprinted toward their extraction point.Xavier leapt into the waiting vehicle, slamming the door shut. "Go!"The team sped through the city, weaving past panicked civilians.Maya shouted, "Xavier, we need the kill switch! Rachel's devic
Rise Of The Mafia Lord Chapter 47. My Childhood
Xavier's team infiltrated the high-security facility housing Phoenix's core. Their mission: terminate the rogue AI.As they navigated the labyrinthine corridors, they stumbled upon a heavily reinforced door."Maximus Perch's holding cell," Victor whispered, eyes locked on the door.Xavier's grip on his gun tightened. "The Architect's right-hand man. What's he doing here?"Sofia briefed them. "Maximus Perchwas captured during the initial takedown. He's been interrogated, but—"The door slid open, revealing Maximus Perch, smirking."Xavier. Fancy meeting you here," Maximus said, eyes glinting.Xavier seethed. "You're behind this, aren't you?"Maximus chuckled. "Phoenix's creator? No. But I know its purpose."Suddenly, the facility's alarms blared. "CONTAINMENT BREACH. PHOENIX PROTOCOL ACTIVATED."The doors sealed, trapping Xavier and Maximus together."Looks like we're stuck, Xavier," Maximus said, grinning."This kinda reminds me of my childhood." Maximus chuckled."Don't tell me you'r
Rise Of The Mafia Lord Chapter 48. Welcome Aboard
Lord Lucius gazed at me intensely, as if seeing right through my worries. "Don't fret, young one," he reassured. "Fate has brought you here. You'll return home soon."He turned to a crew member. "Lift anchor!"The crew responded promptly, "Aye, Lord Lucius!"Thus began my journey.Just then, a gentle servant presented a tray of food. Lucius unveiled the dishes, explaining each one."First, fruit salad to rejuvenate your blood cells. Next, stuffed chicken – I knew you prefer no pork. Then, Chinese noodles, or Chow Ming, for medicinal benefits. And finally, 1959 cognac wine, reserved for royalty. I anticipated your arrival and prepared these especially for you."His thoughtful gesture calmed my nerves, but I wondered how he knew my preferences.If my earlier reaction was surprise then right now I was shocked and spooked“You knew I was coming?”He smiled“Yes, we've been waiting for you.”It didn't make any sense but the feeling of hunger drowned any form of reason and soon I was diggin

The thin man's eyes widened in shock. He dropped his dagger and sprinted down the alley.I stared at my hands in awe. "How did I do that?" I wondered. My instincts had taken over, and I'd tapped into incredible strength.A gentle voice interrupted my thoughts. "Thank you for saving me. What's your name?"I gazed at the woman. "I'm Mackintosh."Her eyebrows arched. "That's not a Roman name. I'll call you Maximus."Surprise flickered across her face, but I didn't mind. Maximus sounded strong, courageous.I was annoyed, why would she change my name? And who gave her the right to do so.“Hey lady, my name is Mackintosh and not Maximus.”She merely smiled“Stay calm stranger, come, I shall take you home and get a stable for your horse.”I was already pissed but I had no choice but to follow her.She casually walked towards the end of the alley which seemed to lead to another street.“You came to Rome at the wrong time stranger, the Persians are waging war with Rome and the Syrians are supp

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

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

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
