" no I still don't believe you, this must have to be a joke or something," Bryan said, looking so puzzled about the whole issue. He couldn't believe Mr. Warren, who everyone feared so much was literally kneeling in front of him with his huge guards who were on black suit and shades, claiming to have known him well. ' or is this a set-up, is he trying to lure me to go with him so he could kill me for seeing his daughter's face ?' bryan thought, as he stood cluelessly, staring at them.

" I know this is definitely gonna be hard for you to believe but I will advise you come with me so I can give you evidence of you being the true son of Mr. Austin." Mr Warren said as he and his men stood up to their feet.

" How am I sure you aren't trying to kill me for driving your daughter home ? Besides, you never wanted anyone to see her face but I did" Bryan spoke out; looking confident but deep down, he was scared of what Mr Warren's reaction will be untill he broke into laughter.

" Hahaha, you are so funny Bryan. If I wanted you dead, it would have been so easy and you know that. Besides, what's the use of me playing games by kneeling in front of you when I can kill you and the police won't even do anything about it, because of how influential I am," Mr Warren said and Bryan gave it a second thought. He was right. He could easily be killed and no one would even care about him, not even his so called foster family who are only about nothing but wealth.

" Okay, I'll go with you but first, you must tell me where you are taking me to and what you want me to see just for me to have a clear mind" bryan said after much thought but Mr Warren just smile and nodded his head

" You would see when we get there. Can we ?"

The guards opened the car for Bryan and Mr Warren and they both got in and took off.

As the car was beating the traffic on the highway, Bryan had a mixed feeling of both fear and honour. For the first time in his life, he was being ushered into a car honourably. Not just any car, but a black bently which cost millions of dollars. He couldn't believe a nobody like him was being treated like a king. What if it was true ? What if Mr Austin was truly his father ? Does it mean he would take over the Austelin company and be the head of all billionaire's. Just as he was still thinking how things was gonna be, Mr Warren interrupted

" I see many things are running through your mind," Mr Warren said softly

" Yeap, so many. This is still like a shock to me," Bryan straightened up and replied.

" I know it would be. Don't worry, everything wouldn't be anymore." Mr Warren concluded and smile and that was the last Bryan heard from him in the car. They both remained silent as the music was booming. It was clear to Bryan that Mr Warren wasn't much of a talker like every has said.

30 minutes later, they drove into a place which looks like a park and the car halted . He could see giant trees everywhere and the ground seems to be completely covered with dried leaves

" We are here sir," the driver turned and said to Mr Warren who nodded in reply. Bryan stretched his hand to open the door but Mr Warren restricted him

" Don't ! They will get the door for you," he said and shortly after, the door opened and Bryan saw a huge man on black suit and shades, probably one of the guards. " You may come down sir, the area is safe." He said to them before they stepped out of the car.

The cool breeze he got was outta the world. As they proceeded; being followed by securities, he saw a giant gate that was locked with chains; it looks like it had been abandoned for decades but suddenly, he saw some group of men in red, coming out from different directions. They looked so fierced to the point that Bryan became scared as the were approaching them.

They met with Mr Warren and exchanged pleasantries before the chain on the gate was broken and the gate opened, revealing a really beautiful estate. it seems the men on red were the securities assigned to the mansion.

" Wow, what is this place ? " Bryan asked in surprise as they walked in, escorted by the guards. The houses in the estate were so beautiful and in order

" This place is called the Austelin's estate and it's owned by your father. It was locked up when he was assassinated but not anymore." Mr Warren said as bryan opened his mouth in shock. ' how would a place as heavenly as this, be locked up ?' he thought

They stopped at one of the house which was probably one of the biggest and most beautiful among all and then Mr Warren brought out a key from his breast pocket and opened the door, exposing a really beautiful sitting room

" Welcome to your father's house, son" Mr Warren said as they both walked into the house

The sitting room was so big and beautiful that it looks like royalty itself. The furnitures were all made of gold and the smell of the room isn't anyway close to what had been locked for more than two decades.

" You like it ?"

" I love it!" Bryan replied Mr Warren Swifty, still gazing at the room. He walked a little bit around the room and saw pictures of an old man who he was really sure to have been Mr Austin, and then, he saw a couple picture, having a kid in the middle. He touched the picture and focus his gaze on it and discovered there's something familiar about the kid in it.

" So now you can believe me when I say that your dad is Mr Austin, right ? " Mr Warren took a step closer and said

" I suspect that," Bryan replied when he saw his pictures hanging on the wall. The kid who was with the couple looked exactly like him. He had some of his birth pictures hanging in his room before Ava sneaked in and burnt everything, claiming it made the house really ugly.

" What about this lady here, I guess she's my mom. Why haven't anyone said a thing about her and why is her picture so blurry ?" Bryan asked, pointing to the well dressed woman sitting in the picture next to him. The only thing off about her was her obscure face in the picture. No one could even recognize her.

" Your mom was also assassinated that day, you only got saved because your were given to a maid, who took you to safety. In order for you to be safe, you were kept in an orphanage home were Mr jing luckily found you and took you as his son,"

" How were you able to recognize me as his son after so many years ? " Bryan asked, staring at Mr Warren suspiciously. His mind was so fucked up with the whole story and he didn't even knew who to trust or believe again; and then Mr Warren smile and placed his hand on bryan shoulder

" I recognized you through the cab you drove to my estate that night. That was Mr Austin's car, year back before fame.'

" What ? Was he a cab driver too ? "

" Yes he was, before he became wealthy."

" Wait a minute, so you are trying to say that Mrs pheona knew about me being Mr Austin's son the whole time ?" Bryan asked, knowing full well that she was the one who told him about the car

" Nope, she doesn't" Mr Warren replied

" But she said it was owned by my biological dad, just like you said"

" Yeap, but she didn't mention Mr Austin or did she ?" Mr Warren asked and Bryan went quiet. At this point, he was completely confused

" You see; I, Mr jing and your dad had known for a very long time before wealth. Before his assassination, he already predicted that things were gonna be this way, and so we planned everything down. Your dad asked that if anything should happen to him, we should keep you safe as his only child and hand-over the company to you when of age. Mr Jing recognized you in the orphanage and that was why he chose you. he told his wife to hand that car to you when you are of age but didn't tell her you are Mr Austin's son, neither did she knew it was owned by him. " He got interrupted by a phone call

Ringing***

"Excuse me I have to take this. Everything is in your hand now, just figure out what to do and I will support. I have a meeting and am leaving now," Mr Warren said to bryan and assigned two guard's to him, before he walked out.

Bryan stood not knowing what to do. It's just like he became rich and had a more complicated life

'Where am I gonna start from" he asked himself and sighs and them shortly, he got a plan.

" Dickson," he called the one of the guards

" Yes sir !"

" Come drive me to the Austelin company. First of all, I need to take full responsibility as the new owner and then, I will go and find out who my parent's killer is"

    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

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

    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

    "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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,"
