"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
Since Mr. Warren's arrest, Wuyan had been grappling with the reality of her father being the leader of one of the deadliest cults in the world. She was also troubled by the first secret she uncovered about him—his son. She found out her dad had a son the day she caught him with Mrs. Pheona, Bryan's foster mom. Since then, her dad had mentioned on three different occasions how his son would take over his inheritance because she was "too soft" to understand leadership. Today, she was ready to uncover the secret. She would have called Bryan to help with the investigation, but he had been too busy trying to uncover the truth about his dad's death. She hadn't even told him about her dad's relationship with Mrs. Pheona yet.She broke into her dad's room, brought out his documents, and started searching for answers. In the documents, she saw old pictures of Mrs. Pheona and Mr. Warren. The two had been in a relationship for a long time. How her dad managed to date his best friend's wife while
"You are so delusional! You want me to tell her who her stepbrother is? You want to ruin my career? My life? My late husband was right about you. And know this," she pointed a finger at him, ready to deliver her final words on the matter, "what you said will never happen. I will never expose the secret I’ve been hiding from Wuyan for so long."With that, Mrs. Pheona stormed out of the prison, leaving Mr. Warren behind. She got into her car, heading back to her house. "I must do something about this," she screamed in the car, her voice filled with frustration. She was so distracted as she drove that she almost collided with an oncoming vehicle. She knew Wuyan would never give up until she found the answer, which was all the more reason she needed to act fast. Her life would be destroyed if Wuyan ever uncovered the truth. Mrs. Pheona desperately thought of a way to end this ordeal, and one dark thought crept into her mind: *Murder*, she whispered to herself, her lips curling into a sini
