"It's me, your uncle, Marshall," came the voice on the other end of the line.

Cordelia's expression shifted instantly upon hearing Marshall's voice. "Why have you called me? What's the problem?" she asked, her tone guarded.

Marshall let out a sigh, sensing Cordelia's resistance. "Why are you being so harsh? Wouldn't you speak to me nicely?" he questioned.

"I owe you no nice talk, please. Say what you want to say, else I'll hang up," Cordelia responded firmly

Instantly, Marshall's demeanor softened, and he adopted a more emotional tone. "I'm sorry, Cordelia. I'm sorry for everything I've done to you. The family needs you back," he pleaded.

"The family needs me back? Which family, lol?" Cordelia chuckled sarcastically.

"Your family, Cordelia. Have you forgotten? Have you forgotten your own house?" Marshall pressed, his tone pleading.

"My family were my mom and dad, and they're no more. Please leave me alone. I'm no family of yours," Cordelia responded coldly, her tone firm.

    "Who are you?" Evelyn asked in a cold voice upon hearing Isabella's request for dinner with Benjamin."Who's this, please?" Isabella inquired upon hearing a woman's voice on the line."I'm Benjamin's mom. Tell me, who are you?" Evelyn pressed, her tone firm."Oh, ma, sorry. Good evening, ma. I'm Isabella, a friend of Benjamin. Is he around, please?" Isabella replied, trying to remain polite despite sensing the tension in Evelyn's voice."He's not. He's having quality time with my future daughter-in-law, so he left his phone to avoid being disturbed. I suppose you're causing a disturbance. When he's back, you can talk to him," Evelyn retorted, her words laced with coldness and a hint of disdain.Isabella felt a pang of jealousy and disappointment as she absorbed Evelyn's response. "Thank you, ma. I understand," she managed to say before Evelyn abruptly ended the call. Meanwhile, in a cavernous den, over a hundred men were gathered, their presence casting an intimidating aura. Some were

    Time passed, and it was 6:30 pm. Evelyn was dressed and ready to leave for the hospital when her phone started ringing. Seeing it was a call from Ezra, she answered without hesitation."Butler, what is it?" Evelyn asked, important news."President, I just wanted to give you feedback on the task you gave me last time," Ezra replied.Evelyn listened intently. "Go on, what happened?”"All the men have been gathered in a base I've rented, including those who were newly sent to prison," Ezra reported."Why are they gathered just now?" Evelyn inquired, a sense of urgency in her voice."Yes, President. I'm on my way to pick you up and take you there," Ezra responded."Good. I must find those bastards who did that to my son. I'm waiting; come pick me up," Evelyn said firmly."Okay, President. I'm on my way," Ezra confirmed before ending the call.Immediately after, Evelyn called Cordelia, knowing she could help identify those responsible. After a few rings, Cordelia answered."Hello, who's th

    Mixtic, upon hearing of Evelyn's arrival, quickly made his way outside to greet her. As he laid eyes on her, a complex array of emotions washed over him, evident in the way his body trembled with a mixture of happiness, fear, and deep respect.With a heavy thud, Mixtic dropped to his knees, bowing his head in reverence. "Oh, you great queen, your servant once again has the honor to meet you," he spoke with utmost deference.Cordelia watched in astonishment, recognizing Mixtic's face from the night club where she had accompanied Benjamin. She had not expected him to be under Evelyn's command, let alone display such profound respect.Evelyn regarded Mixtic with a mixture of pride and fondness. "You have indeed flourished, Mixtic. Your rise to prominence in Elysian is a testament to your determination and strength.”Evelyn regarded Mixtic with a mixture of pride and fondness. "You have indeed flourished, Mixtic.

    As the second group stepped forward, Cordelia walked through the lineup, her gaze fixed on each man's face, searching for any flicker of recognition. The men stood nervously, some shifting on their feet, while others avoided eye contact with Cordelia, their minds racing with fear and uncertainty.Cordelia's eyes narrowed as she moved down the line, her focus intense. She paused momentarily as she scrutinized each face, her memory working overtime to recall any detail that might help identify the attackers. After five minutes of scrutinizing the faces in the second group, Cordelia shook her head slightly. "It's not them," she announced. The members of the second group breathed collective sighs of relief, their tense expressions softening with gratitude.Just then, a guard entered the room carrying a tray with a glass of juice. He approached Cordelia with a slight bow. "This is yours," he said, offering her the drink.Cordelia frowned, puzzled. "Mine? Who asked for it?" she inquired, u

    Cordelia spoke up, her voice trembling with anger and disgust. "Can you imagine this disgusting person? Not only did he maliciously stared at me, but he also expressed his idea of wanting to have me in bed, and when I warned him, he dared touch my..." She paused, feeling too disgusted to finish her sentence.Gulp!”The whole place fell silent, stunned by the audacity of the man's actions. How could he be so bold to act in such a critical moment? Even Evelyn, usually composed and poised, was shocked and appalled."You dare do that to her?" Evelyn asked, her voice filled with disbelief.As they witnessed the punishment inflicted on their master, the men in the queue were gripped with fear, their faces pale and eyes wide with terror. The sight of their leader, now on his knees, his trousers soaked with blood, sent shivers down their spines.The injured man, writhing in pain, began to beg for mercy, his voice trembling with fear and desperation. "Please, I beg you... have mercy... forgive

    The man's throat tightened with fear, but he quickly shook his head, denying any involvement. "I swear, I didn't attack anyone. I don't know what she's talking about," he stammered.Before he could say more, Cordelia lashed out, delivering a resounding slap to his face. "You bastard, you attacked Benjamin with your people and now you're denying it?" she accused angrily.Evelyn intervened, holding Cordelia back. "Don't worry, I'll get to the bottom of this," she assured her, turning to Mixtic with a stern gaze. "If I find out it's your men who did this, you know what I'll do."A cold sweat broke out on Mixtic's forehead as he nodded silently, the gravity of the situation sinking in.Evelyn then instructed one of her guards to bring her a chair, and as she sat down, she quickly downloaded a few pictures of young guy's who should be around same age as Benjamin. Evelyn opened the first picture on her phone and held it up to the man. "Did you attack him?" she inquired, her tone firm and u

    Mixtic lowered his gun slightly, his expression still stern. "Speak," he commanded. The man gulped nervously before confessing, "Yes, we did it. The other five are..." He quickly rattled off their names, his voice trembling with fear as he revealed their identities.As the names of the five men were revealed, a wave of fear swept through the group. Their expressions turned pale, and their bodies trembled with apprehension. Each man glanced nervously at the others, their eyes wide with terror.Whispers of fear rippled through the group as they realized the gravity of the situation. "He mentioned us," one of them muttered, his voice barely audible over the tense silence.Mixtic's voice boomed across the room as he commanded, "If you heard your name being mentioned, come forward now!"Cordelia's gaze was fixed on the queue, her eyes scanning the faces of Mixtic's men. She watched intently. "Boss, please forgive us, we didn't mean any harm," one of them begged, his eyes wide with fear.

    Another chimed in, his tone frantic, "We'll tell you everything! Just don't let us die like this! Please, we have families!""We'll do anything you ask, just spare our lives," a third man pleaded, tears streaming down his face. "We'll never cross you again, we promise!”"You had your chance to redeem yourselves, but you chose to betray me and our organization," he said, his voice dripping with disdain. "Now, you will face the consequences of your actions."“You all are idiots, you wanted to kill a man for the sake of $10,000? Do you know the billions he's worth? Do you know how much he makes in a day? Even 10 Million he won't put it in his eyes. The evil men do will follow them and so shall your evil follow you.”He gestured towards his men, signaling for them to take the five men away. There was no mercy in his gaze, only a steely resolve to carry out Evelyn's orders. The pleading of the men fell on deaf ears as they were led away. Evelyn looked at Cordelia, her gaze piercing yet un

    One of the officers adjusted his cap and asked, “Has it been 24 hours since he went missing?”Rudra shook his head, his frustration evident. “Not yet. But at the very least, they should have called by now—something, anything.” His voice was laced with unease, his mind struggling to make sense of the situation.The officer gave a reassuring nod. “Don’t worry, Mr. Stone. We’ll begin our investigation right away. We already have their pictures, which will make it much easier to track them down.”Rose exhaled shakily, gripping Rudra’s arm, while he gave the officers a curt nod. “Alright then. We trust you to find him.”The officers exchanged a glance before stepping out, their expressions turning serious as they walked toward their patrol car.As soon as they left, Rose turned to Rudra, her hands trembling. “What if—”Rudra cupped her face gently. “No what-ifs, Rose. We’ll find him. I promise you, everything will be fine.”She swallowed hard, nodding despite the fear in her eyes, holding

    Moments later, Rose Stone opened the door, her brows furrowing in concern. “Is something wrong?” she asked.Collins gestured toward the garage. “Mrs. Stone, I noticed you have a security camera outside. Does it record activity in the driveway or the street?”Rose’s expression brightened slightly as if a small glimmer of hope had sparked. “Yes, it should. We have a surveillance system installed. It records continuously.”Parker stepped forward. “Would it be possible to review the footage? It might give us a clue as to when your son left and if anyone else was in the area at the time.”“Of course,” Rose said quickly, opening the door wider. “Rudra! The officers need to see the security footage!”A moment later, Rudra Stone appeared in the foyer, his phone still in hand. “The footage? From the camera?” he asked, glancing between the officers and his wife.“Yes, Mr. Stone,” Collins replied. “It could be a critical lead. If your son left the house from this driveway, the footage might show

    Rudra’s response came swiftly. “Police? That’s not right. We don’t even know if something serious has happened.”“I’m telling you, Rudra,” Rose said firmly, “something feels off. I’ve tried all of his friends, and none of them have heard from him either. We need to file a missing person’s report.”Rudra paused. She could almost picture him pinching the bridge of his nose in annoyance. “Rose, please. Let’s give it a little more time. You know how the police can be—once they start asking questions, it becomes a whole incident. He might just come waltzing in later tonight, laughing at us for worrying.”Rose’s voice tightened. “And what if that doesn’t happen? I don’t care about the inconvenience. My son could be in danger!”A tense silence crackled between them. Finally, Rudra spoke, quieter this time. “Alright. I’ll head home as soon as I can so we can discuss it together.”An hour later, the familiar rumble of Rudra Stone’s car pulling into the driveway echoed through the house. Rose q

    “I was just—” Maverick swallowed hard. “I said that to Brianna because… because I wanted her attention. I made it up. I swear! I didn’t think it’d get back to you!”Austin glanced at his brother, a flicker of frustration dancing in his eyes. He didn’t buy it. “You expect us to believe you’d throw around a rumor like that for no reason?”Maverick clenched his fists behind his back, the rope digging into his wrists. “I—had issues with Benjamin before,” he admitted, voice trembling. “But I wouldn’t do anything to him. I’m not a killer. You have to believe me.”Matthew let go of Maverick’s chin, straightening up. He exchanged a look with Austin, who ran a hand through his hair in exasperation. The same dead end, over and over.“You keep saying that,” Austin muttered, pacing in a small circle. “But Benjamin’s missing, possibly dead, and you’re the only lead we’ve got. You’d better come up with something.”“I can’t give you what I don’t have,” Maverick pleaded, breathing heavily, his waterl

    Benjamin glanced at Cipherella, a subtle smile tugging at his lips. “Your hacking will also give us access to incriminating data. If you can tap into phone records, emails—anything tying Darnell to political figures or top officials—we’ll use that as leverage. The more dirt we have, the more isolated he becomes.” “We want to scare off corrupt politicians and bankers who enable him. When they realize we can expose them, they’ll abandon Darnell to protect themselves. That weakens his connections even more.” “While we’re dismantling Darnell’s network,” Benjamin said, nodding at Abdelkarim, “we place you front and center, building alliances with smaller gangs or influential locals who hate Darnell. Show them there’s a better alternative.” “Meanwhile, Cipherella will manage intel—gathering contact info, forging secure communication channels, and ensuring Darnell doesn’t learn too much about us.” “Eventually, we’ll lure him to a vulnerable position—somewhere away from his heavily guarded

    Abdelkarim smiled proudly, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction at the selection. “This, master, is Fatteh,” he said, pointing to the large bowl of creamy yogurt sauce layered over crispy pita bread, chickpeas, and a golden drizzle of ghee, topped with pine nuts and fresh parsley. He moved his finger to the next dish. “And this is Kibbeh, spiced lamb wrapped in bulgur and fried to a crispy perfection.” Next, he gestured toward a sizzling plate of skewers. “Shish Tawook, tender chicken marinated in garlic, lemon, and paprika, served with flatbread,” he explained, the warm scent of grilled meat filling the space. To his left, a bowl of Mujadara caught Benjamin’s eye—earthy lentils and rice topped with caramelized onions. Abdelkarim pointed at it. “That’s Mujadara. Simple, but hearty and full of flavor.” He then reached for a bowl of hummus and Baba Ghanoush. “And these are two of our staples—Hummus, made from chickpeas and tahini, and Baba Ghanoush, a smoky eggplant dip,” he said, his p

    The rugged man clenched his fists, his pride warring with his fear. “You can’t be serious,” he hissed, his voice barely above a whisper.Abdelkarim cocked the gun audibly, tilting his head. “Do I look like I’m joking?”Reluctantly, the rugged man lowered himself to his knees, the humiliation evident on his face. His companions followed suit, each moving with visible hesitation. The restaurant’s patrons and staff watched in stunned silence, their eyes wide as they bore witness to the surreal scene.One of the men reached for Abdelkarim’s shoe, his hand shaking as he wiped at it with his sleeve. Abdelkarim smirked, glancing down at their feeble attempts. “Pathetic,” he muttered. “Put some effort into it.”As the men continued their reluctant task, Abdelkarim’s tone turned colder. “Now, let’s add some respect to the mix. Each of you will address me properly while you’re down there.”The rugged man looked up, his face twisted with fury and shame. “What do you mean?”Abdelkarim leaned in s

    The room fell into an eerie silence, the earlier chatter and laughter evaporating like smoke. All eyes were on Abdelkarim, who stood tall with the gun firmly in his grasp. Even the rugged man who had slapped him seemed caught off guard, his eyes widening in a mix of disbelief and anger.Benjamin, who had been calmly observing moments earlier, straightened in his seat, his sharp gaze narrowing as he assessed the situation. He hadn't anticipated this escalation, and for a fleeting moment, his surprise flickered across his face. Cipherella, sitting beside him, froze, her lips parting slightly as her eyes darted between Abdelkarim and the scarred man.The tension was palpable. The rugged man pushed his chair back slightly, his hands clenching into fists as if ready to retaliate. His companions, who had been laughing moments ago, now looked uneasy, their confidence shaken."You think this is funny?" Abdelkarim said, his voice steady, but the undercurrent of anger was unmistakable. He point

    The room went tense as Abdelkarim froze, his gaze darting nervously to the man’s threatening expression. Around them, a few other patrons glanced over.Cipherella’s delicate brows furrowed with concern as she leaned closer to Benjamin, her voice barely above a whisper. "Master, they’re trying to bully him," she said, her eyes darting between Abdelkarim and the rugged man.Benjamin didn’t respond immediately. His sharp gaze remained fixed on the scene, observing every detail—the posture of the men, Abdelkarim’s unease, and the simmering tension in the air. Finally, he nodded slowly and said, "Let’s just watch for now.”"But Master—" Cipherella started, her worry evident."Relax," Benjamin interrupted gently, his tone calm but firm. "Let’s see how he handles himself first. If things go too far, I’ll step in."Cipherella hesitated, but she trusted Benjamin’s judgment. She bit her lip and stayed quiet, her hands clasped tightly in her lap as her eyes returned to Abdelkarim.Meanwhile, Abd
