As Caspian walked out of the Duchess’ club, he couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that lingered within him.

We are to go there now," Andreas said.Caspian wanted nothing more than to be alone with his thoughts, to contemplate the marriage proposal by Duchess Dillion. But duty called, and he knew he had to face it head-on. "Take us there," Caspian said, resignation evident in his voice.In the car, the tense atmosphere was palpable as Caspian mulled over the situation. He knew he needed someone outside of the gang to confide in, someone who could offer him unbiased advice. Turning to Andreas, he broached the subject. "Andreas, if the Baron is disturbed and wants to talk or sort things out without resorting to the mafia way, what does he do?"Andreas sighed, a look of understanding in his eyes. "Baron, once you tak

In the van as they went towards the address that Duchess Dillion had sent, Caspian was reminded of something he had wanted to ask and he felt it was the best time to do so. “Andreas, you remember the grand baron and his jibes yesterday?” Caspian asked and Andreas nodded.“Yes, baron.”“That part seemed to be out of the dossier. What happened back then?”?“It was during the time of your grandfather’s reign, Caspian. The Dimarco empire was flourishing, and we had forged a partnership with the Ya’az tribe, a powerful group who controlled valuable resources in the eastern territories. We saw potential for mutual benefit and worked together on several successful ventures.”Caspian listened intently, his curiosity piqued. “What kind of ventures did you work on together?” he asked.Andreas smiled sadly, “We traded goods, shared information, and even fought side by side in battles against common enemies. The bond between our peoples seemed unbreakable.”“Why did it fall apart then?” Caspian

According to schedules, the DiMarco empire was back to Wallows Square.It might be another trip for the household but for Caspian, it was a trip to his past. He was reminded of the town and the impact that it had on his life and his decision to take up the role as the leader of the DiMarco empire.He remembered the last time he was there.

The dimly lit alleyway was a hive of activity, with shadowy figures slinking in and out of sight like ghosts. Caspian, clad in a worn leather jacket and jeans with mackintosh boots, moved with calculated precision, his eyes scanning the area for any signs of danger. It was a risky move to go undercover in this dangerous territory, but he knew that in order to dismantle the black market operation that was funding corrupt politicians, he had to get his hands dirty. Infiltrating the seedy underworld had always been a part of Caspian's job as an undercover agent, but this mission felt different. The stakes were higher, the criminals more elusive, and the corruption ran deeper than he had ever imagined. His heart raced as he made his way through the crowd, blending in seamlessly with the unsavory characters that populated the alleyway.

The locked people in cells, killed those acted against their wills and also came out publicly to announce that perpetrations will be punished. As he sifted through the papers, a feeling of unease washed over him, the weight of the deception heavy on his shoulders. "We trusted each other," one of the politicians, a man named Senator Thompson, said with a mixture of anger and regret. "How could they do this to us?" Caspian looked up at Thompson, his eyes sharp with determination. "There's more to this than meets the eye, Senator. We need to dig deeper." Thompson nodded, his jaw clenched in frustration. "I never thought I'd see the day when my own colleagues would stab me in the back." As Caspian delved into the intricate

The dusty road that laid ahead stretched out before them, the wheels of their vehicle kicking up clouds of swirling sand in their wake. Caspian leaned back in his seat, the weight of their recent discovery weighing heavily on his mind. "So, finally, there we were," Caspian began in a voice low and intense. "At the Tomb of Gold, surrounded by ancient ruins and the lingering whispers of a forgotten civilization." Rodrigo's eyes widened, his gaze fixed on Caspian as he recounted the events that had unfolded at the mysterious site. The air around them seemed to crackle with tension, a palpable sense of foreboding settling over the two men.
