Seeing the scene that had occurred, it crossed their minds to chase the running car, but before they could recover from the shock of what had happened in front of them, the car had already gone out of sight.

Quickly, Dickson and Carlo stepped out of the car with their guns and went into the room Lion-god was about to enter before he got shot. Minutes later, they returned to the car angrily, with frustration written on their faces.

"There was nothing in the house. No evidence, nothing! Just a bunch of books and kitchen stuff," Carlo vented angrily.

"This is a planned work. Someone knows we are after Lion-god and they killed him so we can't get any information from him," Dickson said in frustration.

"Now what's our next plan? This was the only way we thought we could exonerate Bryan's name. Who even did this?" Wuyan asked, surprise still written across her face.

"I don't know for sure, but I think we still have a ray of hope. His family. The prison warden had told me earlier that he doe

    Silvia drove home and was happy when she arrived and saw that her dad wasn't around. The only people in the house were the security guards and the maid. Without wasting time, she headed towards her dad's room and took his card before heading towards his computer room. She swiped the card on the door and it opened for her. Immediately she got in and turned on the computer. After typing the password she had in her head, the computer unlocked and she squealed in excitement.Scrolling through her dad's files, she stumbled upon two folders named "Lion-god file 1" and "Lion-god file 2." She clicked on the first one and all the information pertaining to Lion-god displayed boldly on the screen."Oh, my, this is too easy," she said with a smile across her face. She never thought she could gain access so easily like this. She took it as a sign that luck was on Bryan's side.She scrolled through the bunch of information and saw all the agreements Lion-god had signed with the police, ranging from

    Seeing Lion-god's wife made them all understand the reason why he never gave attention to Eve, telling her that his wife still satisfies him. The woman was the epitome of natural beauty; a type that wasn't common."Madame, you have to calm down. We aren't your enemies. We weren't the ones who killed your husband," Dickson said to her calmly."If you weren't the ones, then who? Y'all are just a bunch of losers who had been after his life. I hope you are okay now that he's dead?" she said, unable to control the tears streaming down her cheeks.As she teared up passionately, the little boy standing at the front of the door, who was obviously Lion-god's son, spoke."Mom, are these the guys who killed dad?" he asked her, his face still fixed on them. But Wuyan replied before his mom did."No, little man. We didn't kill your dad. In fact, we are here to know who did," Wuyan said to the boy, whose gaze was now focused on her. At this point, Carlo chipped in."Madam, please, we are here to ge

    "You guys shouldn't stare at me in such a suspicious way. You aren't trying to tell me that I'm part of the conspiracy against my husband, right?" Lion-God's wife said as they fixed their gaze on her."Well, you should answer that for yourself. How did you know all these details, ma'am? Speak up unless you're part of the people who killed your husband," Dickson said, and Lion-God's wife charged at him."Don't you dare say that! I wouldn't do that to someone who loves me so much." She broke into tears as she prepared to explain everything to them. "When my husband was arrested, a group of strange armed men came to our house that day and introduced themselves as my husband's friends. At that time, we were living in the city.""They told me my husband had told them to relocate me because it wasn't safe anymore. I didn't believe them at first, but when I heard the recorded voice note of my husband's voice, I followed them. They brought me here. They promised to always watch over me and te

    Silvia drifted back from the computer, her hands covering her mouth in shock. It was difficult to believe her dad, an officer of the law, was part of the most dangerous gang in the city. If this was true, it meant he had definitely taken part in the mysterious murders that had plagued the city. She was not only surprised but ashamed as her mind flashed back to what Lion-god's wife had said earlier. She was right. Lion-god and her dad were in the same cult. This meant her dad must have been fully aware of his death. What was she going to do now? Should she tell the rest of them this? She had volunteered to help Bryan, but she never knew her dad was into something as heinous as this.Quickly, she took out her phone to take pictures of the screen, making a quick decision to show them. There was no way she wasn't going to reveal this. She had already gotten herself involved and had to finish it. She took the flash drive and made her way out of the room immediately. She had just walked a d

    "And don't look at me surprised like that. These guys have been a hook to Bryan's throat, and I know this," Dickson said as Wuyan stared at him in disbelief."I need more evidence to be sure of this," Wuyan said, not wanting to draw a conclusion."I think there's a way we can get it. Lion-god's wife told us that these guys have a code to reach each other. I think you should go to your dad's computer and input this code. Maybe you will get something too," Silvia said, giving her the necklace, and Wuyan accepted it."I'll be back," she said and walked out of the lounge.Wuyan arrived at her father's house and sneaked into his private room where his personal computer was. She turned on the computer and opened her dad's documents. She reached one encrypted file named "Warren 042" and input the code. To her surprise, it opened, and what her eyes saw was shocking.On the screen were pictures of her dad and some men dressed in red gowns, in a dark room illuminated with red lights. On the wal

    " My dad wants me to return home immediately. I think he's suspicious of our plans from the way he sounded," Silvia said to the rest immediately after she dropped the call.They all exchanged glances for a moment, giving what she said a thought, before Dickson replied to her. "Go and meet him. But don't assume he knows about our plans until he says so. Act cool."With this, she left for her house immediately. Silvia arrived and she saw her dad pacing around in the sitting room with both hands folded at his back.Gently, she entered the room. "Dad, you called me. I don't understand what you were saying on the pho----""What are you planning on doing, Silvia? Don't pretend. I already got the full news from Mr. Warren. He caught his daughter also," The PC turned to face her; his gaze firmly fixed on her."Okay, let's assume you know, and so what? You are not going to let an innocent man like Bryan go to prison, Dad. I can't allow that." Silvia confronted her dad with so much confidence i

    Minutes after the disturbing news spread across the internet about Mr. Warren and the Police Commissioner being part of the Dark Shadows, Mr. Warren arranged a private flight to leave the country and flee to safety, as the police had already declared him wanted. Just as he stepped out of the house, holding his bag and heading to his car, one of his security guards quickly ran to him."Sir, the police have surrounded the house. They ordered me to open the gate, or they’ll use force," he said, panic in his voice.Mr. Warren, proving stubborn, replied, "Do not open the gate!" he commanded. But then again, he stood still, thinking about his situation. If the police had surrounded his house, how the hell was he going to drive to the airport? And even if he got to the airport, how was he going to get through all the screening processes without the authorities recognizing him? He thought for a minute and then finally gave up."Damn it," he screamed, letting his bag drop to the ground. He cle

    "Mr. Warren, you have been found guilty of being associated with the dark shadows and having a connection with the death of Mr. Phill, the death of Mrs. Evoline, and the death of Mr. Allen, who was a prison guard. You are hereby sentenced to life imprisonment. Mr. John, you have also been found guilty of being associated with the dark shadows. As a former commissioner of police, you have breached the law of the police force by associating with criminals. You have also been found guilty of the deaths of Mr. Mark, a public officer, Mrs. Sarah, and Mr. Allen, a prison guard. You are hereby sentenced to life imprisonment and hard labor." "And Mr. Bryan Austin. There has been no concrete evidence backing your involvement in money laundering and hard drugs. The police commissioner made a confession during the course of the investigation that it was a conspiracy against you to take over the company your father left. With this, the court finds you not guilty of the allegations," the female

    THE END

    At night, the initiates gathered in a black van, with Dickson, Carlo and Mr Suraj, leading the team. On the computer screen in front of them was the current location of Simon from the Ratel gang, who was going to get the drugs. The location showed Northern Cape. With this, they drove and arrived at Northern Cape moments later, parking the van at a safe distance under a tree. “This is the location,” the driver said as Mr. Suraj looked at the computer to confirm. The place was far from town and uphill. Outside, a lot of gang members were holding guns and keeping watch around an abandoned building.“This is where the magic happens. I believe that’s a trap house,” Suraj said.“What’s a trap house?” one of the inexperienced initiates in the van asked.“It’s a house where drug dealers keep their drugs. It’s mostly situated on the outskirts of town, where the government wouldn’t know,” he replied.“There are many securities here. How do we get in and plant the explosives?”“That’s why we’re

    DRUG DEAL

    By noon the following day, Carlo and Dickson drove out of town to a place called Camelot. Camelot was the ghetto part of the city, where the youth were involved in many crimes like drugs, kidnapping, assassination, and money laundering. The crime rate was high, as it was the primary means of survival for the youth. Dickson and Carlo had come here to gather intel about the Dark Shadows.They arrived in Camelot, parked under a tree, and proceeded into a bar. Inside, the bar was dark with all the curtains down. Naked strippers moved about, and different gangs occupied various spots. Dickson and Carlo headed towards a table occupied by a gang known as the Ratels. They had previously learned that the Ratels were the biggest drug dealers in Camelot and might have connections with the Dark Shadows.The Ratels were in conversation when Dickson interrupted.“Greetings,” Dickson said, while Carlo stood beside him.“How can we help you?” one of the men asked.“I’m here for a drug deal,” Dickson

    At about 8pm, a private plane having the international initiates landed at Ashvilles airport. It was a full squad of trained men from the security services.They alighted the plane in numbers and proceeded to the white coaster bus that was provided to convey them to their destination.Minutes after, they arrived the Austelin Mansion and all assembled in the garden outside, where Dickson Carlo and Bryan were waiting for them." How was your trip ? " Bryan started" It was fine sir." Their leader responded." Good. Now that you all are here ? Our work begins. I need you guys to share your thoughts on how we can defeat the dark shadows. The main challenge is to know who the number 1 man in the dark shadows is." Bryan said." That is not much of a problem sir. We can simply figure that out if we strategize properly." One of the men, dressed in sm army camouflage said." Do you have anything in mind ? " Bryan eyed the man who had spoken, sizing him up. The international recruits seemed sha

    Initiates first training

    Two days have passed, and the 50 people who volunteered to be part of the White Shadows have returned to the Austelins Mansion for their training as promised. A date has been set for next week for the initiation of other volunteers who were living in other parts of the country.Bryan had reprinted the White Shadows logo and purchased licensed firearms for every member. The main course today was to teach them how to use them. The initiates all stood holding their guns while Carlo and Dickson stood in front of them. The first step was to teach them how to use a gun."The weapon you are holding is an AK-47 rifle," Dickson started. "The AK-47 was designed by **Mikhail Kalashnikov**, a Soviet engineer and tank commander. He developed the weapon in the late 1940s as part of a Soviet military initiative to create a reliable, durable, and easy-to-manufacture assault rifle. Kalashnikov's design became the standard issue for the Soviet armed forces in 1949 and later spread globally, making him

    THE OATH

    "Sir, the initiatives to bring back the White Shadows started due to the unbearable operations by the Dark Shadows," Bryan began. "The Dark Shadows have fought me in so many ways, and I believe it’s not just me, but everyone who isn’t involved with them is feeling the heat. This is why I have agreed to set up a team that would fight against them," Bryan explained to the Minister of Defense, who nodded in agreement."So, what are your big plans with this White Shadows NGO you want to set up? And what do you think you’ll do differently to curb the situation with the Dark Shadows that the police aren’t already doing?" the minister questioned, his brows narrowing as he looked at Bryan."Good question, sir. I have observed the activities of the Dark Shadows and discovered they are certainly skilled in many areas. To defeat them, my NGO will undergo training from top security agencies around the world, and all the expenses will be on me," Bryan replied."And you’re willing to bear the cost

    CHAPTER 135: THE WHITE SHADOWS

    Bryan stood outside, still not satisfied with the information Mr. Benjamin had given him. He had hoped for more but decided to work with what he had. It was time to start somewhere. Since the White Shadows fraternity had been his dad's effort to fight the Dark Shadows, he would bring the fraternity back to life. All he needed to do was gather people who would join the cult and help in the fight.An idea came to him immediately. He quickly took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Dickson's number. "Hello, Dickson. You and Carlo should meet at my house. We have something really important to discuss," he said. "Okay, boss. We’ll be there," Dickson replied, and Bryan ended the call.He got into his car and started the engine. As he began driving, he fell into deep thought about how he could make the White Shadows fraternity strong enough to stand against the Dark Shadows. The key idea that came to his mind was training. Mr. Benjamin had told him that the Dark Shadows underwent a

    "Wait, what do you mean my father founded the White Shadows?" Bryan asked, confused. First, it was him discovering Mr. Warren was the leader of the Dark Shadows, and now this? "Does that mean my dad is no different from these evil men?" he said, disappointment written all over his face."Don't you compare your dad and Mr. Warren, Bryan. That's a big disrespect," the man cut in angrily."What do you mean?" Bryan asked.The man didn’t reply just yet. He called one of his children, who brought out a seat for Bryan to sit down, before continuing.**FLASHBACK (NARRATION)**"The White Shadows is an offshoot of the Dark Shadows. Decades ago, there was great insecurity in the world. Kidnapping, drugs, assassinations, rape, and various social vices were ravaging this city. The government did everything they could to stop it, but they couldn’t. At worst, any government in power that pushed the limits to fight the unknown terrorists causing the havoc eventually got killed. This made many scared.

    AUSTELIN'S MANSION**Bryan had been living in deep thought since he returned from the prison after seeing Mr. Warren. He had just one thing bothering him, and it was unraveling his dad's death. From what Warren had told him, it wasn't the end of the dark shadows yet, and his dad was into some cult that gave him such wealth and influence. If what Mr. Warren said was true, the first step to take was to decipher the name of the cult his dad was involved with. After a thorough search in his heart, he couldn't think of what cult his father was in, so he decided to go through a thorough search in his dad's mansion.Edward moved back and forth in his dad's room, searching for any information. He saw pictures of his dad from a tender age until his old age. He also saw pictures of a woman always next to his dad, but he couldn't recognize her face; it was obscure. After searching for hours and finding nothing, he moved to his dad's library. There were thousands of books, and Bryan hadn't bother

    At 8 p.m. that day, Wuyan received a call from Mrs. Pheona, who agreed to tell her everything she needed to know about her stepbrother. This news excited Wuyan, and although Mrs. Pheona suggested they meet at a location, Wuyan insisted they meet at her house. Wuyan felt a wave of relief as she ended the call, knowing that her search for her stepbrother was finally coming to an end.Mrs. Pheona then called Jack to inform him of the change in plans. Jack was furious about the idea of going to Wuyan's house, as it wasn’t part of the original deal, but he eventually gave in after Mrs. Pheona managed to convince him.At 9 p.m., Mrs. Pheona arrived at Wuyan's house in her Jeep, with Jack and two armed men sitting in the back. As the gate opened and she drove in, the men hid their guns under their clothes. Two of them remained in the car while Mrs. Pheona and Jack stepped out and walked to the door.*Knock, knock!* Mrs. Pheona tapped twice on the door, and Wuyan opened it. "Hello, Wuyan,"
