Chapter 1482

Auteur: Cozy Season
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

    Andrew picked up the badge from the table and pressed it until there was a sharp metallic sound.He removed a tiny chip from inside the badge and said, "Your information is hidden in this badge. This chip proves your membership. You lost it five years ago, and I found it. What about this proof?""You know?" Fermin's voice was wary now.If he had once thought Andrew was just trying to make a show of things, now he had to reassess the situation.He wondered if Andrew was speaking the truth. If it was true, Andrew was a formidable foe.Finding something long lost like that was almost impossible.Fermin realized that those rumors about Andrew's capability were true after all. He was the most outstanding leader the Potter family had ever had."Since you already know, what is this meeting for?" Fermin asked, unable to figure out Andrew's intentions. "You want core information on the Illuminati?"Andrew chuckled, "Not really. I just promised your father I'd send you and Liza back. Now

    It was afternoon already.Debra and Marion parked their car outside the valley.Looking at the sprawling terrain ahead, Debra couldn't shake the memory of trekking through it with Kale just days ago.Revisiting this place made her shiver."Your injury's still fresh," Marion said. "I can go alone."Debra shook her head. "We agreed on going together. Besides, I'm not here to fight. It will be fine."Marion ruffled her hair. "Alright, we're in this together."Enoch brought Erica here to lure them in. That much was clear.Now that they were here, they'd get her out.With night closing in, they quickly followed the route they'd mapped out and headed in.The map from Juan came in handy. In less than 30 minutes, they reached a clearing smack in the middle of four towering mountains.Mist hung light in the air, and the jagged peaks all around gave off a heavy, oppressive vibe.Through the fog, figures in black cloaks and white masks stepped out.Debra slid behind Marion, their han

    Jordan signaled the guards at the door to stop Randy.But they didn't stand a chance. In three seconds flat, Randy laid them out.Jordan watched him vanish down the hall, dumbfounded. 'When did he get this good?'At the entrance, more guards tried to block Randy. He didn't slow down as he threw punches at them.Even with their number, they couldn't catch him.30 seconds later, Randy was in his car, peeling out toward the valley. Scenes from his childhood flashed across his mind."Leg up. Fist tight. Punch!" Caleb shouted.Erica eyed the wooden dummies in front of them and aimed for perfection.Randy's attention was all on her. He was not interested in these self-defense skills at all."Randy, focus!" Caleb whacked his arm with a cane. "Get real or go home."Randy couldn't care less. The truth was, he had already learned it all.At eight years old, his freakish athletic genes got him shipped off to a two-month boot camp. There, his raw talent made him untouchable in the junio

    Lara came downstairs, smirking at Michael. "This time, even if you want to let them off, it won't happen."Michael was unfazed. "Don't say stuff that'll get twisted. I never plan to do that.""Oh, please. I know you better than that," Lara snorted. "Drop the act."Growing up, Michael had been given the best of everything.They were both in line to take over, but Michael got the bishop's favor from day one.Even if he didn't fight for it, he'd eclipse her. The bishop's partiality never failed to rattle her.She was a woman. True. But she was not any inferior to Michael.The partiality was unbelievable. This world's full of women outshining men.She was the one to help the bishop build something huge. The altar was only for her to ascend.She stepped up to Michael. "Wanna bet on what happens when Debra and Marion hit the valley? I can't wait to see Debra getting pierced by bullets. It would be so much fun."She observed Michael's expression, but there wasn't a crack."You done

    The guard at the gate quickly stepped out of the booth. "Greetings, Mr. and Mrs. Houston. Unfortunately, Mr. Osborne isn't home.""We're not here for him," Marion said flat-out. "I want last night's security footage."The guard hesitated. "I'm sorry, but without Mr. Osborne saying so, I can't just hand it over.""Randy is lying in the hospital right now," Debra cut in. "Erica went missing from your place last night. If you don't cough up the tapes and something happens to her, can you take the heat?"The guard was shocked. "Mr. Randy Osborne in the hospital? And Miss Mathis is gone? I'll grab the footage. Hang on."He dashed to the security room. But when he pulled up the feed, the screen was pitch black."What's wrong? Is it busted?" Debra asked.The guard smacked the console a couple of times, and the picture flickered on. There was Enoch, stuffing a sack into his trunk and driving off.That explained why the cameras outside had only caught Enoch.Debra felt a chill run thro

    A loud crash blasted through the phone, followed by screeching static.Debra's gut sank. "Randy's in trouble. Let's hurry."Jordan quickly rounded up a crew to track down Randy, while Debra and Marion bolted out of the house.That phone call screamed car wreck. Marion had Randy's location pinned fast, and an ambulance was already on its way."Don't panic. The ambulance is almost there," Debra reminded him, watching him push the speedometer.It was fine if it was just a regular crash. But if the Illuminati had set it up, the consequences were unimaginable. Enoch must have lost his mind to target his son.Debra and Marion had both lost their parents to car accidents. Marion would be devastated if he lost another person close to him."Quick! Get him out!"Thick smoke poured from the crash site. Debra's bad vibes grew.They jumped out and saw Jordan's people loading Randy onto a stretcher."How bad is it?" Debra ran up, desperate for details."Not too serious," Jordan replied. "

    The maid froze. "Didn't Miss Mathis leave last night? I don't know where she is. But she's not here."A bad feeling hit Randy like a ton of bricks. He bolted out of the room and ran to the guest room next door. When he flung the door open, Erica wasn't there. The bed was pristine, with no sign of anyone sleeping in it.Erica was lazy as hell. There was no way she'd make the bed herself.Randy lost his head until what Theda had said suddenly echoed in his mind.If Enoch were the mastermind behind the Illuminati, he might have done something to Erica."Where's my dad?" Randy asked, his blood running cold.The maid had never seen him like this. He barked, "I'm asking you where my dad is."She stammered, "I called him last night like you asked. He came back for a bit and took off again."Now he confirmed that Enoch had taken Erica."Give me the phone.""Yes, sir."The maid handed it over.Randy dialed Enoch's number but could not get through.Sweat beaded on his forehead. The

    Erica laughed, getting the implication.Randy coughed dryly. "Mom, what are you even saying? I'm not that kind of person."With that, he hustled Erica out of the room.As the door closed, she frowned. "What now? Your dad is suspicious.""Well, we'll deal with it when he gets back. Now take a rest.""Alright."He led her to a clean guest room."Yvette seemed fine just now. Didn't look like she's got any mental issues.""It comes and goes. She can be normal and confused at times.""Has she seen a doctor?""Yeah. They say it's from some big shock. If she takes it easy, she's pretty much fine. Her nerves are just shot. My dad kept her locked up here all these years. Probably doesn't want folks to know he's got a crazy wife."In his mind, Enoch always put profit and reputation first.If people found out he had a nutcase for a wife, he might ditch her. Even if he didn't, he'd freeze them out.One question was always hovering in Randy's mind. If Yvette wasn't tied to the Potter f

    "Erica, let's head upstairs."Randy held Erica's hand as they walked up the stairs.The second floor was dead quiet, and the hallway lights were dim. At the far end was Yvette's bedroom.The door was wide open. Inside, Yvette sat at her vanity, brushing her hair.Nearing 50, she still looked good, though she'd let time take its toll. Her face was lined with wrinkles."Randy? You're back," she exclaimed, catching his reflection in the mirror.She turned around and saw him standing there, holding Erica's hand."Mom." Randy squeezed Erica's hand. "I brought Erica to see you."Yvette's eyes shifted to Erica, and she searched in her memories.After a while, she caught it. "Erica, I remember you. Randy always talked about you when he was a kid. I thought you two were just rivals or something."Yvette walked over to Erica and grabbed her hand. "Randy's a bit of a wild one, but he's great with girls. This is the first time he's brought a girl home. If you two are serious about each o

    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
