The Wrath of the Dragon Duke. Chapter 127 : The Confession Of The Decade
Larry's eyes widened in horror at the mention of the name "Lincoln Bishop""Where... how did you know about... who gave you that name?" asked Larry, stumbling over his words."I mean... He was the previous Chief of police, a quick scan through the records and I'd see his name" Morty replied, as Larry was still shaken."But it's interesting how you reacted to the mere mention of his name, from what I heard... The two of you used to be really close, wasn't he the one who brought you into the force?" asked Morty.Larry shook his head, and remained silent for a few minutes before he answered, "Yes... Lincoln and I were close, and yeah, he was my mentor, brought me into the force and all that...""But he ultimately showed me what it truly meant to be a cop in this fucking city... he was a corrupt, thieving son of a bitch, and he made me regret trying to be a good cop in my early days" added Larry."Is that why you killed him?" asked Morty?"What?" asked Larry, feigning ignorance of genuine
The Wrath of the Dragon Duke. Chapter 128 : Familiar Betrayal
Larry Flanagan stood frozen in the woods, his chest heaving, Shock and and dread he once face was now increased in the face of the man stepping out from the darkness."Simon Harland..." he whispered... still not beliving the name this man just called himselfLloyd's expression was cold, unreadable "Not quite, my name is Lloyd Bishop"Larry's eyes darted between Lloyd and Morty, confusion and rage brewing beneath his skin."What is the meaning of this?! Simon Harland was the bastard who ran the Draguns! You said you killed him!""Sorry Dad... I lied" responded Morty, in a rather unfeeling voice "Simon Harland never existed" Lloyd added calmly "He was a mask I wore, a role I played so I could return to Hilburg unnoticed... I needed to find out who murdered my family, and now, I know"Larry scoffed, "No you fucking don't... Cause sorry to dissapoint you, but I didn't kill your fucking family, they brought death upon themselves when they turned the entire city against them""Yeah... That
The Wrath of the Dragon Duke. Chapter 129 : Randevous
The Grimshade Bar was quiet that afternoon, a rare peace hanging in the air as rays of sunlight trickled through the half-closed blinds. A warm glow painted the worn leather booths and old wooden bar, casting the entire place in a somber, golden hue. Lloyd sat at his usual booth near the back, his arm resting casually on the edge of the table as he nursed a glass of whiskey. Ivan, Morty, and Jacob were with him, each nursing their own drinks, the weight of the last two months resting heavily on their shoulders.It had been exactly two months since Eve Willis had been officially inaugurated as mayor of Hilburg.Lloyd had spent most of that time with Lisa, enjoying what he described as a long overdue vacation. They had been traveling the country, taking in the sights, leaving the chaos of the city behind... even if only temporarily. But now, it was time to return to the city’s heartbeat, and the first stop was always the Grimshade Bar.Lloyd was the first to speak, leaning forward
The Wrath of the Dragon Duke. Chapter 130 : Broken Promises
Morty’s mind spun with disbelief as Gerald Leta’s words sank in. The flares of red and blue from the squad car lights flashed behind the men standing at the gates of the Flanagan estate. The evening breeze swept through the street, stirring Morty’s coat as he stood frozen.“Chief Leta?” Morty asked... slowly, as if trying to wake from a bad dream “you can’t arrest me... I’m your superior... I’m the acting Chief of Police”Gerald, standing stiffly, his badge gleaming under the porch light, corrected him “Former acting Chief, as of an hour ago, I am the officially appointed Chief of Police for the city of Hilburg”Morty’s brow furrowed “That’s not possible... the council vote for my candidacy was today...”“And your candidacy was rejected" Gerald cut in, handing Morty a sealed envelope "due to your alleged involvement in ongoing criminal investigations”Morty tore open the document and scanned the words... his eyes widened as he reached the final signature, Eve Willis.“She... she si

Lloyd stood at the far end of the room, phone pressed tightly against his ear, his voice low but laced with tension. Ivan’s steady tone came through on the other end, calm as always but with an edge Lloyd rarely heard from him.“She's a problem now, Boss” Ivan said.l “I suggest we start looking at ways to squeeze pressure, take back some favors... maybe challenge her publicly, get supporters to cut off support... Maybe leak a few things to the press”"We don't really have anything on her Ivan, or did you forget just how clean this woman is?" asked Lloyd"I understand boss, but we can gather some, as no one ever manages to be clean, especially not someone associating with the capital M gang" replied Lloyd."What if we can't get anything in time, what if it takes two to three months for her to perform a slip up large enough for us to capitalize on?" Lloyd asked, still incredibly skeptical, which somewhat confused Ivan, as he expected him to wish to continue Eve as soon as possibleLloyd
The Wrath of the Dragon Duke. Chapter 32 : Anhialation Plan
Lloyd leaned back in the booth at the Hilburg Mall restaurant, his jaw tightening as the name echoed through his head."Murete" Mason had saidLloyd narrowed his eyes "That name doesn't ring any bells, who the hell is he?"Mason exhaled slowly, sipping from his drink before setting the glass down "He was just another enforcer back in the day, one of those men who only ever spoke when asked, but followed orders like a dog... He worked under the Lancastersbefore they were betrayed by the Hilburg elite"Lloyd’s brows knitted together "So he’s not a Lancaster?""No he isnt... at least I'm 95% sure he isn't, but when the family started crumbling, Murete didn’t run like the others, he killed the leader... one of the last surviving heads, and took over" Mason clarified."Why though... would the Lancaster's follow someone that wasn't one of them?" Wondered Lloyd."At that point most of the family was dead, but that's probably why he changed the branding... Rebranded the remnants as Capital M,
The Wrath of the Dragon Duke. Chapter 133 : Attack On Murete
The morning sun filtered lazily through the grand windows of the Francis estate, casting long golden beams across the dining room table. Breakfast was being served, but peace wasn’t on the menu.Lisa sat quietly, nibbling on her toast while Lloyd sipped his black coffee, stone-faced. Across from them, John Francis barked into his napkin, his tone cutting.“So this is it? No appointments, no calls, no bloody contracts from Eve Willis?” John snapped, glaring at Lisa like she’d stolen something. “We gave you everything... even after all your failure, we let you be a part of this family, and in return... you give us failure”“Maybe if you didn’t waste your favor propping up losers, we’d all have jobs by now” Roy chimed in, his smirk sharp and smug. “Heard from one of my friends in city hall that Eve’s having problems with your boy, Lisa... Apparently, he started a fight in her damn office”The moment the words left his mouth, all heads turned to Lloyd.“Again?” Harold said, throwing h
The Wrath of the Dragon Duke. Chapter 134 : Walker Smith Revelations
Ivan and Lloyd stood in front of Walkers unconcious body, as they waited for him to awaken.he had been tied to chair in metal chair with very large ropes, and Lloyd hadn't taken his eyes off him for over an hour, as he still struggled to believe it was who he thought it was. Jacob soon begins to wake up, as he was also taken to the facility, he wasn't given any regenerative solution as Lloyd determined he didn't need it"What happened? where are we?" asked Jacob, rubbing his face tired.Ivan, seeing that Lloyd wasn't in the mood for saying anything, decided to fill Jacob in with what had happened."Everyone's dead... that's what happened" said Ivan"Everyone?... Like everyone we got for the job?" asked Jacob in disbelief."Yeah..." replied Ivan in a tone."The only reason you're even alive right now is beacuse Lloyd and I did our best during that battle to protect you" he added."What about Murete and his goons?... did they get away?" asked Jacob."I don't know" replied Ivan, somewh

“Walker... is the job done?”The silence in the room became suffocating Ivan shifted uncomfortably, still cltching the side of his ribs where he’d been stitched up only hours earlier. Jacob stood frozen, arms crossed, jaw clenched tight.Walker opened his mouth, then closed it again. He swallowed, cleared his throat, and said with a voice that trembled just slightly “No... I failed"Another pause...Then, the voice on the other end changed, sharpened, full of disdain “Of course you did. You always do""Even after I trained you in the same fighting style as the dragon duke, you still couldn't beat him... You fucking failure"Lloyd and Ivan's eyes widened in horror, as it all started to make sense... "MASON KNEW HE WAS THE DRAGON DUKE"Lloyd narrowed his eyes “Mason” he said flatly, “You son of a bitch”There was a low chuckle on the line “Lloyd” Mason’s voice replied, calm as ever “You really don’t know half as much as you think you do”“You orchestrated all this” Lloyd hissed “The c
