Maxwell stormed into the house, his face red with anger. He slammed the door behind him, causing Hannah to jump in surprise.

"Why did you do that?" he shouted, his voice shaking with rage. "You know he's our enemy! Why did you try to help him? Why were you feeling pity for him?"

"What?"

Hannah's eyes widened in fear as she saw the look of fury on Maxwell's face. She knew he was right - she had acted recklessly, forgotten Marcus was their enemy. But she couldn't help but feel sorry for Marcus, who had been injured trying to protect them all from the gang. Hannah had seen the look of terror on his face as he faced down the leader, and she couldn't help but admire his courage. But she also knew that Maxwell wouldn't understand - he was always so quick to judge, and never saw the good in people.

"I'm sorry," she said softly, her voice trembling. "I didn't mean to upset you in any way. I just...I just wanted to help him."

Maxwell glared at her, his jaw clenched. "Help him?" He asked. "I sa

He was still unconscious, Richard, Sam and some bodyguards were present."I will leave now sir Richard." The doctor said,"How's he doing? Will he be okay?" Richard asked with concern."Yes he will, he just needs some hours of bed rest. The bullet didn't penetrate, it only brushed his arm. He was only unconscious due to the excessive pain and tiredness." The doctor explained."Alright" Richard said, and the doctor responded with a slight bow before leaving.There was silence in the room for a few minutes."You shouldn't have let this happen." Richard stated."I'm so sorry boss, young master insisted, I couldn't afford to disobey his order." Sam explained."That's the most ridiculous explanation. Marcus is the last and only heir of the Blackwoods, his protection and safety is the most important thing." Richard raged."I'm so sorry, I promise it won't occur again."

    Marcus and Sam went to the site where his father's old project was, the building was incomplete and the place looked deserted."This is it, young master." Sam said."Yeah." Marcus dipped his hands in his pocket. "Uncle did say it was being claimed by someone else, but he never said exactly who. So what do we do next?" Marcus asked."Well you've got all the documents and proof to show the property belongs to the Blackwoods, I believe we should resume the project.""Great idea." Marcus said. He then proceeded to walk inside to get a clearer view, until a deep voice stopped him."Hey! Stand right there." A chubby looking man with a grey beard walked to them. "Who are you people?" He interrogated."I'm Marcus Blackwood.""Well I don't care." The man promoted, "what are you doing here?" He then asked."I don't understand your question. But this property belongs to my father." Marcus said."What're you blabbering about? This is Mr Wealth's property." The man corrected."Mr. Wealth? Who's

    "How did you know?" Mr. Matthew asked, his curiosity piqued."That's not important. What's important is getting it back," Marcus insisted, his resolve unwavering.Mr. Matthew, however, seemed unmoved. "I'm sorry, Mr. Blackwood, but the government had to do something with the abandoned building. After all, it was just sitting there, and the Blackwoods were nowhere to be found. As the local government, we had a responsibility to take action."All Marcus could hear from his voice was his greed. "I don't care about that anymore Mr Matthew, all I want is a solution. I want that building back at all cost." Marcus kept a serious face."The building is now under Mr. Wealth's ownership," Mr. Matthew explained, his voice tinged with regret. "It might be impossible to retrieve it at this point."Marcus was determined to find a solution. "What do you mean by 'impossible'?" he pressed.Mr. Matthew sighed.

    As the sun began to rise over the city, casting a golden glow on the streets, Clara and her team stood outside the docks, their breaths still heavy from the fight. With Magnus apprehended and his henchmen scattered, the sense of victory was palpable.“Is it really over?” Mara asked, her eyes reflecting the morning light.“Feels like it,” Clara replied, a cautious smile creeping onto her face. “We’ve fought too hard for this to slip away now.”Marcus stepped forward, pulling out his phone to call the authorities. “They’ll want to take Magnus into custody. This time, he won’t be able to wriggle his way out of it.”As the police sirens wailed in the distance, a mixture of relief and anticipation washed over the group. Clara could hardly believe how far they had come since they had first banded together to confront the darkness in their city.In the following days, word spread about Magnus's defeat and the disbandment of his criminal network. The community began to breathe a sigh of relie

    Together, they had become a force to be reckoned with, as they shared a collective nod, a silent agreement that they were all in this together. Marcus carefully jimmied the lock open. The door creaked as it swung inward, revealing a dimly lit corridor lined with rusted machinery and crates.“Stay quiet,” Marcus whispered, leading the way with Clara right behind him. They moved in a tight formation, with Mara and Eli covering the rear.As they ventured deeper into the warehouse, the sounds of muffled voices began to filter through the walls. Clara’s heart raced—this was it. They were getting closer to the action.“Let’s split up,” Marcus suggested, peeking around a corner. “Mara, you take the left side. Clara, you and Eli cover the right. We’ll converge at the main room in the center.”“Got it,” Clara replied, feeling a rush of adrenaline.

    .“Are we really done with Magnus?” Eli asked, stretching as he joined Clara, his face still a mix of exhaustion and disbelief.“Only for now,” Clara replied, glancing at Marcus and Mara, who were going over the plans for their next move. “But it feels good to know we stood up to him. He won’t be back anytime soon.”Marcus looked up, a thoughtful expression on his face. “We need to regroup and figure out what’s next. Magnus may be in custody, but we know he has allies. We can’t let our guard down.”Mara nodded in agreement. “And we need to find out what else he was planning. There’s got to be more to it than just controlling the city through fear.”“Right,” Clara said, her mind racing with the possibilities. “Let’s start by gathering any information we can. We need to dig deeper into his operations.”As the day unfolded, they began strategizing. Clara took charge, flipping through notes and files they had collected over time. “We need to hit his connections hard. If we can disrupt the

    Eli groaned but pushed himself up, adrenaline surging through him despite the throbbing pain in his ribs. “I’m good,” he gasped, his eyes darting to the downed guard. “Let’s finish this!”“Good,” Marcus said, his breath steadying as he turned back to the entrance, where the chaos was still unfolding. “Clara, stick close to me. Eli, take the rear. We need to find a way to secure this place before Magnus decides to make an appearance.”“Right!” Clara replied, determination etched on her face. Together, they charged further into the heart of the factory, the sound of the fireworks still booming outside, providing a cacophony that masked their movements.As they navigated through the maze of machinery and crates, the atmosphere grew thicker with tension. Clara’s instincts kicked in, and she felt a sense of urgency pushing her forward. They needed to find Magnus and stop him before he could mobilize his men.“Where do you think he is?” Mara whispered, glancing around at the shadows that lo

    As the group approached the factory, the moonlight cast eerie shadows over the crumbling walls. They could see the faint outline of guards patrolling the perimeter, their silhouettes shifting in the dim light. Clara felt her heart race, every instinct in her body screaming that they were heading into danger. Yet, beneath that fear was a resolute determination to confront Magnus and end this once and for all.“Okay, remember the plan,” Marcus whispered, his voice steady despite the tension. “Mara and Eli, you’ll set off the fireworks on the east side while Clara and I create a distraction on the north entrance.”“Got it,” Mara replied, glancing at Eli, who nodded in agreement.As they moved into position, Clara could feel the weight of the moment bearing down on her. She glanced at Marcus, who was scanning the area with a focused intensity. “Are you ready for this?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.“I have to be,” he replied, determination flashing in his eyes. “For everyon

    “I still can’t believe Magnus is out there,” Clara said, pacing the small room, her brow furrowed with concern. “He’s not the type to back down easily.”Marcus leaned against the wall, arms crossed, his jaw set in determination. “He’ll come back. We need to prepare for whatever he’s planning. We can’t underestimate him again.”Mara, sitting on a makeshift bench, rubbed her temples, still feeling the tension from the fight. “What if he tries to retaliate against us personally? He knows who we are now.”Eli, leaning against the table, chimed in. “We need to gather intel on his operations. If we know where he’s hiding or what he’s planning, we can strike first.”“Good idea,” Marcus replied, his mind racing with possibilities. “But how do we find him? He has a network, and we’re just a small team.”Just then, Clara’s phone buzzed, breaking the tension in the air. She glanced at the screen, her expression shifting from concern to curiosity. “It’s a text from a contact I haven’t heard from

    With the remaining henchmen falling one by one, it became clear that the tide was turning. The cacophony of chaos seemed to intensify, but Marcus’s focus sharpened on Magnus, who was now cornered against the wall, his bravado fading.“Looks like your little party is crashing down, Magnus,” Marcus taunted, stepping closer, his fists clenched.Magnus glared, anger burning in his eyes. “You think this is over? You have no idea what you’re dealing with!”“Maybe not, but I know what I’m going to do next,” Marcus said, his voice low and threatening. He motioned to Eli, who nodded and moved to flank Magnus.Suddenly, Magnus lunged toward a nearby table, grabbing a glass bottle and swinging it at Marcus. The glass shattered against the wall just inches from Marcus’s head.“Careful!” Marcus shouted, ducking just in time.Mara, ever vigilant, charged forward again, this time aiming a solid punch directly at Magnus’s jaw. The force of her hit sent him staggering backward. “You won’t get away thi

    The days that followed the ambush were a blur of activity for Marcus, Mara, Clara, and Eli. Each moment was filled with tension, anticipation, and the weight of what lay ahead. They meticulously planned their counterattack against Magnus and his henchmen, determined to turn the tables and regain control of their lives.The small, dimly lit warehouse they had chosen as their temporary headquarters buzzed with energy as they gathered around a large table cluttered with maps, photos, and notes. Marcus pointed at a large map of the city spread out before them.“Alright, here’s the plan,” he began, his voice steady and authoritative. “We know that Magnus operates out of several locations, but we believe he’s using this old warehouse on the outskirts of town as his base of operations.”Clara leaned closer, her finger tracing a route on the map. “If we can get the jump on them here, we can cut off any escape routes they might have. It’s a perfect setup for an ambush.”“Exactly,” Marcus agree
