Drake froze. "What blood donation?"Before the nurse could answer, Debra said, "Take a good rest. Marion's people will watch over you outside. I need to go back to the casino and check out things."With that, she left the room. The nurse tried to stop her but couldn't catch up in time.Drake pressed, "What blood donation?"The nurse shrank under his cold gaze and stammered, "The blood bank was running low, so...""So?""Mrs. Houston donated her blood. She hasn't rested enough yet.""And you let her leave like that?" Drake got anxious, trying to get out of bed.The nurse pushed him back down. "You just had surgery, sir. You can't go anywhere."The sudden movement strained his wound, and Drake frowned in pain.The nurse was adamant. "You need to rest now."Drake's gaze never left the door. He was deeply frustrated....Once arrived, Debra saw the area around the casino had been locked down. Marion's men were guarding the entrance.A guard approached her. "Ma'am, Mr. Houston

"Just don't be so reckless again." Marion tapped her forehead. "Next time something like this happens, tell me right away. I can get the blood.""How are you going to do that?" Debra asked.He didn't answer, and she sighed, "You see, the blood bank has plenty of supply. But that blood is meant to save lives. I don't care what you did before, but from now on, we can't do that. That's like stealing someone else's chance to survive. After everything that's happened, I believe in karma. I don't want us to end up paying the price one day.""Alright. I'll just pay them to donate it. How about that?""Good. Today's been exhausting. Let's go to the hospital and check on Drake. He's awake now, and we can ask him what happened.""Alright." Marion drove with one hand while holding Debra's hand tightly with the other.Debra could feel his warmth. It made her feel safe....At the hospital, Drake was propped up against the bed.By the time Debra and Marion arrived, it was already dark. The

"How did you know?" Drake was surprised."How else would I know? I asked Lara," Debra replied.Earlier, she had been recovering in the hospital, and everyone else had been busy with work. No one had paid attention to what Drake had been doing."I came back to handle work, not to look for anything," Drake replied, looking away. "I didn't take anything from them. Their intel was wrong. I lied to them just to buy time.""Come on. Do you know I'd believe that?" Debra scoffed. "What exactly did you hide?""What, are you interrogating me now?" Drake clamped up.Debra wanted to give him a piece of her mind, but Marion stepped in, pressing a hand on her shoulder."I've got ways of making him talk," he said."Alright, enjoy your chat. I'll go get some water," she said, standing up.Drake looked up and saw Marion's serious expression.He huffed, "Come on. Do you have to do this?""I have since you didn't cooperate." Debra waved her hand, leaving the room.Marion pulled up a chair and

"Fine. If you want to throw your life away, I'll tell you," Drake sighed, giving in. "The last time I came back, I made people believe I was dealing with company affairs. In fact, I was looking for a raw stone.""A raw stone?" Debra echoed."Yes, a rare and expensive one. I heard someone bought it decades ago. Since then, there hasn't been any information about it.""So, how did you get it?""After I discovered the Illuminati, I started looking into its origins. In a church, I noticed a colorful pattern on the ceiling that looked like a phoenix. I did my research, and it turns out the Illuminati has been around for over a century."Drake reached for his phone by the pillow, pulled up some photos, and laid them in front of Debra.He continued, "This phoenix is probably their symbol. Behind it, you can see something like the sun. You know, in ancient stories, the phoenix dies and is reborn. I think there's a connection between them."Debra mused, "So, you're saying this symbol is

Drake had just managed to get his power back. He couldn't have that kind of money to buy a precious stone like that.Faced with her doubt, Drake snorted, "Who says it has to be bought?""Then how did you..." Debra trailed off, quickly realizing where this was headed.She smacked his arm, scowling, "You're involved in illegal dealings again?""That's the nature of my business. Focus on your own man," Drake retorted.Marion shot him a cold glare, warning him against messing with Debra.Drake took a deep breath. "Don't worry. I didn't hurt anyone. They gave it to me willingly, and I'm paying them in installments. They won't lose out."Debra finally relaxed and asked, "So where did you hide the stone?""At a safe place, of course," Drake replied. "It cost me a fortune. Naturally, they'd not find it easily.""So, the Illuminati members have been collecting treasures like that. Such stones could lure out their leader, right?""It was a guess. But after this, I'm pretty sure I'm rig

Once Drake was taken away, Marion asked, "You really figured it out?""Nope. I was bluffing." Debra shook her head. "Drake hid it so well that even the Illuminati couldn't find it. That's why they grabbed him. They had no other choice. Honestly, the safest thing for us is not to know where it is. Otherwise, we might be next on their hit list.""That's why he wouldn't talk.""I know. He's afraid that if we find out, the Illuminati will come after us, too.""But you told him you figured it out." "I was just messing with him. If I could do that, that'd mean I'm smarter than the entire Illuminati.""You're smarter."Marion reached out and ruffled her hair.Debra got serious. "Now we can't go back to Seamar City yet. If the Illuminati has people here, they must have a base there too. Instead, we should dig a little deeper. Maybe their leader is hiding out here in Orkgate.""Right." Marion nodded....In the car, Kale faltered, "Boss, next time something like this happens, at le

Late at night, Andrew sat in the study of his house overseas.From the courtyard came the sound of soft rustling noises.About ten minutes later, Barton returned to the room and reported, "Sir, everything's been taken care of.""Good work on them. They went through all that trouble just to find this place, and in the end, they came up empty," Andrew said casually, "Send them back and show them that no one gets into the Potter Mansion and this house as well.""Understood." Barton quickly left.Several corpses were scattered about in the courtyard.At his signal, some hidden guards revealed themselves and dragged the bodies away.In no time, the courtyard was cleaned up, leaving no sign of anything.Andrew looked thoughtfully at a phoenix emblem on his desk.After a while, Barton returned and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Houston are overseas right now. They don't seem to plan on going back anytime soon. What if..." Andrew brushed it off. "I never told anyone about this place. They won

The members of the special group had their whole lives tied to the Potter family, just like private assassins.At a place like that, Fermin couldn't afford to be careless."Here I am," he announced. "No one is coming to welcome me?"His voice echoed through the hall, but there was no response.Suddenly, the elevator light ahead flickered on. He walked over, and the doors slid open.He stepped in, and it took him to the second floor, which looked like a maze, with the hallways pitch black.As he took a step forward, lights along the left corridor blinked on. He walked down it and saw an open door at the end.Inside, Andrew sat behind a desk, with a faint smile on his face."Mr. Eaton, nice to meet you. I hope you're satisfied with the gift I sent you," he greeted.Fermin threw a badge onto the desk. "What's this supposed to mean?"The badge belonged to the Illuminati. The sun on it symbolized light.Andrew leaned back. "This is an Illuminati badge that was lost on the mountai

Everyone nodded at Marion's call. They split tasks fast.Randy drove Erica toward the Osborne Mansion, speeding through the dark.When they parked, he didn't budge from the driver's seat."Don't stress. I'm here with you," Erica said, squeezing his hand.She knew what ate at him. If Enoch was really the Illuminati's head, it would spark a war. His relationship with Enoch would be unmendable."I never saw this coming," Randy said, his face shadowed with a rare gloom.He had always known Enoch didn't care about him, Yvette, or their family.In fact, he had never known much about Enoch. Without Theda's hunch today, he'd never have linked Enoch to the Illuminati."If Enoch is tied to them, what will you do?" Erica asked, watching him closely.She knew that blood was thicker than water."I don't know." Randy shook his head.Being the heir to the Osborne family never mattered to him, but he could not deny his bloodline.If it came to picking sides, he didn't know if he'd back Mar

His teacher had been worried about that.Randy had racked his brain, wondering what a dad should be like. He'd wanted to roughhouse like other kids, only to receive cold stares.His mother always brushed it off, telling him not to chase fatherly love."Randy?" Erica's voice yanked him back."Huh?" He blinked, seeing everyone's concerned stares."I called you a dozen times. Why were you zoning out?" Erica frowned.Randy grinned weakly. "Well, Theda's got a point. Now I'm kind of suspecting him too.""She left a minute ago," Erica pointed out, squinting at him."I'm not covering for my dad," Randy said. "She made sense. Maybe I'll swing at home. If he's the Illuminati's head, he will be in the valley.""You were absent-minded while we hashed out the plan. Now you're playing seriously?" Erica teased. "We're not pointing fingers at your dad, just saying Theda's theory holds water. If you want to check, I'll go with you. We'll watch each other's backs."She didn't say it out loud,

Theda added, "When Jeffery ditched the Nichols family, even with his smarts, he couldn't build up enough money and power to challenge the four families that fast. Someone had his back. He once told me not to judge a book by its cover. You never know who's laughing last."Her cryptic words left them puzzled.Debra asked, "So, who do you suspect?""I'd say Enoch Osborne," Theda replied.The name dropped like a bomb. Everyone froze and then swung their eyes to Randy.Randy gaped. "My dad? No way. He's a stiff old fart, decent at business but the weakest of the four families. Calling him lazy is generous. He's a stubborn rock. How could he be the head of the Illuminati?""Don't sell your old man short," Theda said. "The last generation of the four families got hit hard. But your family? Only your mother lost it. Your father has played it safe, staying low-key and outlasting them all. I bet he's the one Jeffery meant."She shrugged. "Could be wrong. But if it's him, you're in deeper

It wasn't that Debra's crew was weak, but the Illuminati was too strong.The room fell silent.Theda continued, "Everyone here is riding your call. You know what happens when you throw pebbles at a tank, right?""I'm not backing off. We've got our reasons," Debra replied."I'm not here to talk you out of it," Theda said. "I'm saying if you need me, I'm in."Everyone blinked, caught off guard. She smiled, "What? Surprised I'd join? Or wondering why? Forget Robert's ties to you. You've already done me solids in Seamar City. I can't pay you back much, but I can pitch in here.""How do you plan to help?" Erica asked."Inside job. Boosts our odds," Theda replied. "I worked with Jeffery before. Being a Buchan, he cut me slack. With his Illuminati ties, they might trust me too. Need a message slipped in or intel dug out? I've got you.""You don't have to..." Debra started."No convincing me otherwise," Theda cut in. "It's not just for you. Juan's blood to me. Call it a favor he owes.

"No biggie. I'm just that sharp," Randy grinned."Don't flatter yourself." Erica smacked his arm, turning to Debra. "If that's the play, we'll set up around the valley early.""We scoped it out last time. Here's the terrain map Marion roughed out. Memorize the basics, just in case," Debra said.Jordan spoke up. "I'll plant people inside to learn the lay. If things go down, we'll back each other up."He paused, frowning. "But we've only got one path. Without the full picture, it's still risky.""Got it here," a voice called from the door.Everyone turned to see Theda walking in with Robert. A map was in her hand."It's you guys." Debra was surprised.Theda had been busy with her business. She barely had time to breathe, not to mention show up there."This mess is huge. If the Illuminati takes Seamar City, my business is done," Theda said.She'd seen Jeffery's crazy side. The Illuminati couldn't be anything good.She unrolled the map and stuck it on the board. "This is the val

Liza eased up, knowing Debra was always faithful.She would help if she said so."Is the Illuminati really that bad?" Liza asked, having never seen Fermin cornered like that."Yeah," Debra said flat-out.Liza fought back her tears. "I'm not as smart as you guys, but if I can help...""You've done plenty," Debra said, patting her head.The once-bratty lady had grown into someone brave and kind. They'd all seen her change.But this was too risky. They couldn't bet on her life."Everything's set," Marion said, striding in with Jordan.Liza blinked at their suits. They looked solemn, as if ready for a last stand.Debra nodded. "Alright, let's go over everyone's setup and run through the plan."Randy wheeled in a blackboard that showed the outskirts map.The Four Great Families had owned Seamar City for ages. Their eyes and ears were on every corner.They'd linked up north, south, east, and west, with Juan's lines tied in.According to intel, the Illuminati hadn't sunk deep ro

"Just listen to me and go," Fermin said, pulling his hand free.The next thing she knew, he yanked her toward the emergency exit."Fermin!" she yelped.The restaurant staff, loyal to Fermin, hustled her into the stairwell. By the time the guards outside caught on, she was gone."Get her," the guards barked.If Liza slipped away, Michael would have their heads. But before they could chase, Fermin's crew boxed them in."You know what this means?" one guard spat, dropping all politeness.They knew he was just a puppet. If he broke free, Bert's life would be done."Kill them," Fermin ordered, turning back to the restaurant.A waiter dropped a tray, the crash drowning out muffled screams from the stairwell.Liza was already in a cab. She tried to turn back, but a staffer blocked her. "Miss, you can't go anywhere but Seamar City. The Potter Mansion is your safest bet. Think of what Mr. Eaton's doing for you."Her stay overseas made her a hostage. While she was here, Fermin was lea

The driver hesitated but complied. "Sure, Mr. Eaton. How long do you plan to stay? There's a meeting this afternoon.""An hour," Fermin replied.From their conversation, Liza caught on that their family was under the Illuminati's thumb. The driver would not grill Fermin about his schedule otherwise."Who're you to butt in? He'll hang out with me for as long as he wants," she snapped.The driver bit back his gripes. "My bad. Sorry."Liza clung to Fermin's arm, heart pounding. She had been pampered her whole life, and her family had always been untouchable. She never imagined they'd be under someone else's boot.The car stopped by the mall. Liza and Fermin got out.When the guards tried to follow, she whirled. "My brother and I are going shopping. What're you tagging along for?""Protecting you and Mr. Eaton," one said.She opened her mouth to argue, but Fermin cut in. "They can carry bags for you."She hesitated. With these guards tagging along, they couldn't talk about the si

"Dad." Liza rushed to the bed, grabbing Bert's hand.In her mind, Bert was a stern old grump. He was always tough and sharp.But now, the illness had taken a toll on him. He had shrunk, and his hair had gone gray overnight.Fermin stood behind her, watching with pain.In fact, Bert had been ill for a while now. He had been grooming Fermin for years.But once he'd caught wind of Fermin's plans, Bert would rather kill him and trash their legacy than let him join the Illuminati.Fermin knew this day was coming. Liza didn't. Bert never wanted her to.She froze, feeling like his hand had twitched. She stopped crying and spun to Fermin."Did you see it? Dad moved..." she exclaimed.Fermin clapped a hand over her mouth, a move that confused her.He shook his head, warning her off. She nodded fast, signaling she'd keep quiet.Fermin checked the door and eased his hand off. "Dad's fine. Let's head home, alright?"Liza glanced at Bert with reluctance but wiped her tears. "Okay.""Co
