Chapter 1581

Author: Cozy Season
Fermin stormed out of the police station, the bodyguard following closely behind.

He stopped abruptly and slapped the bodyguard across the face.

"I told you to protect her. What the hell were you doing?" Fermin snapped.

The bodyguard lowered his head. "Miss Eaton didn't want me to follow her. And Debra asked me to stay in the greenhouse. This afternoon, when Miss Eaton was heading to the airport, she said she needed to use the restroom. I waited outside, but 20 minutes passed, and she still hadn't come out. I went in to check, and she was gone."

He still didn't get it. "I never left my post. There's no way someone took her. Something's not right."

"It must be Debra." Fermin narrowed his eyes. "No time to waste. Book me a flight to Orkgate."

...

Night had fallen.

Debra lay down on her bed.

Suddenly, the sound of an engine rumbled outside. Headlights flashed through her window, cutting through the darkness.

She slowly sat up and walked to the door.

At some point, Fermin had en

    Even the seasoned Debra felt the pressure when facing Fermin.The rumors about him were true."How did you know the butterfly necklace was a bug?" Debra asked.Liza scratched her head. "Well, hanging out with you guys has made me smarter. Fermin didn't want me near you, but suddenly he let me visit. I figured he wanted to see if you and Marion really split up.""Impressive," Debra smiled."I had to keep up with you smart folks." Liza leaned in. "What's next? Any tasks for me? I'm ready."She was enthusiastic, but Debra didn't want to put her in danger."Fermin has influence in Orkgate. Finding you won't be hard.""But he has no business here.""He doesn't, but the Illuminati does. As a core member, he can easily mobilize their people.""So, what do we do?""I need a favor. It might be dangerous, but I'll make sure you're safe.""I'm in," Liza said, patting her shoulder. "I'm Liza Eaton. No one will mess with me.""Listen carefully," Debra warned. "The Illuminati is powerfu

    Debra nodded.Liza recalled Yvonne as Drake's former fiancée.Her messy private life had made headlines. In the end, she lost her mind and jumped off a building.The news of her death had been a sensation. And her father, Conrad, was equally infamous.Liza frowned. "But Conrad and Yvonne are both gone.""The Sharp family is under new leadership now. Lara is in charge," Debra explained. "I'll drive you there, and she'll help you hide."She pulled out an earring and placed it in Liza's hand. "Here, this has a tracker inside. If I'm wrong, the Sharp family is the safest place for you. But if I'm right, things might get complicated."She didn't spell it out, but Liza understood what she meant."You're worried Lara is with the Illuminati. If I stay at her house, it'll look like I got kidnapped by them. That'll put Fermin and the Illuminati at odds.""Spot on. You're smarter than I thought.""Well, I'm a fast learner.""You understand how dangerous this is. Are you sure..." "I'

    Andrew's study always had a faint scent of medicine, which had a calming effect.Debra never enjoyed lectures, but Andrew insisted.One afternoon, as she was feeling drowsy, Andrew's sharp answer jolted her awake."The usual way is to find a way out. But if your enemy sets a deadly trap, you need to think outside the box. Lure them in and create an opening for yourself.""Like a diversion?"...Debra's thoughts drifted back to the present.The Illuminati wanted Drake's raw gemstones, but Fermin might not be after the same thing.They were targeting Marion, aiming to destroy him through his marriage to Debra.She just didn't know their ultimate goal. To break up the Four Great Families was just the surface.Even if the four families were declining, the Illuminati couldn't even breach the Potter Mansion, so they must be after Marion's overseas assets. With those resources, they could expand their influence.Fermin, on the other hand, wasn't truly loyal to the Illuminati. They

    "What the hell are you doing? Do you know who I am? I need to meet your boss," shouted those wealthy businessmen.Debra's car pulled up outside the club.Josh walked up to her and handed her a piece of clean cloth.She took it, then casually stuffed it into one of the businessman's mouths. A faint smile played on her lips as she said, "Mr. Pearson, long time no see."Harvey broke out in a cold sweat. Soon, more people were brought into the room.Debra took a seat on the sofa and said, "You're all members of the Illuminati, right?""What Illuminati? Never heard of it," they quickly denied it.Debra nodded. "Over the past few days, all your expenses here at the club, including your 'extra-curricular' activities, should be enough to get you locked up for a while. And those shady assets hidden in your companies? Under the local law, that counts as financial crime, doesn't it? The amount involved is massive. Also, bribery, sex-for-power deals... I'm guessing that's a death sentence?"

    "Where's Marion?" Fermin demanded.His subordinate kept his head down. "Sir, Marion is in Seamar City under the watch of our people. He couldn't have gone overseas.""Then who was leading these actions?""It's the Houston family's army."Fermin's face twisted into a cruel smile.The Houston family's army only took orders from Marion, but that man was wasting away in Seamar City. Yet his men were active overseas."Sir, should we go back and handle the situation?""Not until we find Liza. I can't leave without her.""But...""No buts. Send someone to find out who's in charge overseas. The rest of you stay in Orkgate and find Liza.""Yes, sir."The subordinate hurried off to relay the orders.Fermin stood in the largest casino in Orkgate. His men had searched every corner but found nothing."Where could she be?" he muttered.In any other city, he wouldn't be this worried. But Orkgate was chaotic, with black markets, casinos, and human trafficking. Many had tried to clean it

    Lara pushed the bowl toward Liza. "I heard you liked these kinds of desserts, so I had someone make it for you. I hope it's to your taste."Liza indeed craved dessert, but when it came from Lara, she held back."I just had dinner. Just leave it there. I'll have it later.""Alright, I'll leave you to it."Once Lara was gone, Liza studied the dessert and hesitated.Ultimately, she decided not to eat it. After all, it was still uncertain if Lara was a friend or a foe. There might be poison in it....Debra had wrapped everything up.Fermin's influence in the area had been systematically dismantled. It was difficult to wipe them out, but his key partners had switched to her side.Once everything was set, she anonymously sent a pre-recorded video to Fermin's email.The footage showed how Liza was kidnapped and taken from the Jovial Hotel to the Sharp Mansion. The video cut off abruptly right at that moment.Debra leaned back in her chair, curious about Fermin's reaction. More tha

    "Master? Only fools like you believe him," Fermin snorted. "Since you worship him so much, you can meet him in hell."His men began their assault on the Illuminati members. In moments, the scene was a bloodbath.Fermin remained impassive until a subordinate reported, "Sir, everyone is down.""We're going to the Sharp Mansion," Fermin ordered.His men quickly cleaned up the scene and got into a convoy of luxury cars.That day, the streets of Orkgate were filled with the blaring of horns. People were confused, but such scenes were common in the city. To avoid trouble, everyone cleared a path.The entrance to the Sharp Mansion was surrounded. Liza, who was about to go to bed, heard the commotion and tensed up.Lara quickly entered her room, and she asked, "What's going on?""Fermin's men are here. You need to come with me," Lara said urgently.Her mind was blank as she followed Lara to a wine cellar in the basement. Lara straightened her nightgown and headed upstairs.Outside,

    Fermin stepped in front of Lara, pressing the barrel of his gun under her chin."Do I need to spell it out for you? Conrad is not a core member of the Illuminati. You are."She might have fooled the world with her perfect disguise, but she couldn't fool him, who was also deeply entrenched in the Illuminati."I remember seeing you about ten years ago," Fermin said, tapping the side of her face with the gun. "I never forget a face. You're that old man's goddaughter, known as an expert in disguise. Now that your cover's blown, take a guess. What will happen next?"Lara's innocent look disappeared, replaced by an insidious smirk."You're making a grave mistake by messing with me," she murmured.Fermin didn't flinch. He pressed the gun against her chest. "Don't test my patience here. I've already killed plenty of people today. One more won't make a difference.""If you kill me, the Illuminati won't let you go. You know what happens to people on their hit list," Lara sneered. "Your fa

    Under Randy's threat, Lara didn't dawdle. She swiped her fingerprint, and the infrared beams blinked out."My clearance only kills the lasers for three minutes," she said. "Taking me like this only slows you down. Let me go, and I swear I won't pull anything.""Three minutes? Then hustle," Randy snorted.She was full of schemes. Cutting her loose brought him nothing but danger. He would not fall for it.Lara kept her cool and led him toward the end of the hall.The place was futuristic, loaded with tech Randy had never even seen. Only people with the code could get in.Now that she had removed restrictions, it was now just another regular hallway.At the end stood a massive door. She spoke. "Our master is behind that. I can't go in, but I'll open it for you.""Do it quickly," he urged.She stepped to the side and used facial recognition. The door slid open, revealing a dark room.As he scoped it out, she broke free and tried to shove him in.Quick in reaction, he yanked her

    As long as he twitched it a little, Lara would be dead.Randy growled, "Cut the crap. Try me again, and you're done."Lara didn't dare push it. She took a breath. "Okay. Follow me inside.""I know who your master is," he said. "Tell him to let Erica go, or the Osborne line ends with me."Her face shifted at that. He noticed. "What, you don't know who he is? Guess you're not that big a deal around here. So, quit stalling. Take me to him now. Touch me, and you don't live to see another day."Lara's composure crumbled.In the Illuminati, nobody knew the bishop's identity. She couldn't tell if Randy was bluffing or not.She had no choice but to lead him toward another entrance. Those goons didn't dare stop him. They just stepped aside.She took him deeper into the valley. The further in, the warier Randy got.The mist thickened, blotting out everything.At a rocky entrance, she used her fingerprint to unlock a hidden door in the mountain. It was mind-boggling that the Illuminati

    Lara's face twisted. "No way he would say that. He wants the four families wiped out.""Take it up with him." Juan shrugged, heading out of the valley. "I'm not wasting my breath on you."Lara muttered in disbelief, "Our master wouldn't do that. This was our shot to take them down."Before she could piece it together, a guy rushed up. "Miss, something else showed up.""Who was it?" Lara snapped, annoyed.The four families only had Debra and Marion worth a damn to them."Looks like someone from the Osborne family.""Randy? What's that punk doing here?"Right then, a guy flew in from the mist, screaming as he hit the ground.Randy stepped out with a fierce expression. Lara barked for her crew to gear up.Everyone was puzzled, not expecting a wuss like Randy to be so good at fighting.He'd taken out every guard outside the valley solo, and not one alarm had been tripped. It meant he had memorized the layout, found the safest path, and dodged every trap.Lara sized him up serio

    The Illuminati crew scattered into the mist.The leader stayed, pulling off his mask.Juan's brow creased hard. This was all he could do for them.Debra and Marion hauled out of the valley.Earlier when they were talking to that guy, she had clocked his limp. Plus, he had tapped his leg to drop hints.Through those details, she had figured out it was Juan.Juan had fed them a load of crap.Erica was inside. The bishop would show himself if they managed to find her. He would let them go if they could make a deal.It sounded reasonable but did not hold up.The Illuminati had an edge over them. If the bishop wanted to meet, he wouldn't need to snatch Erica. Even if he had her, it'd be to trade for the gemstone they held.He commanded, and they had to comply because they had zero leverage to negotiate. If they had no leverage, the bishop would not let them go.This was the tip-off dropped by Juan. Her business instinct enabled her to perceive it.Erica wasn't in the valley at a

    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. "
