Chapter 1696

Author: Cozy Season
Debra listened, but something still nagged at her.

Jordan noticed her frown. "You got a hunch?"

"Not really a hunch." Debra glanced at Randy on the bed. "We checked the Osborne Mansion's footage and saw Enoch loading a sack into his trunk, but we never saw Erica in it."

Everyone froze, and she continued, "Juan wouldn't drop hints for no reason. He told us to bail, knowing it was a trap. Think about it. If the Illuminati nabbed Erica, why not hit us up right away or leave a note to demand the gemstone? Rather, Randy figured that out, and we went to them. It doesn't make sense, right?"

She knew how badly the Illuminati wanted that gemstone. If they had Erica, they wouldn't sit on their hands.

Everything had happened so suddenly, and Randy's crash had thrown her off. She hadn't had time to think it through.

When she calmed down and analyzed the situation, the Illuminati's moves didn't add up.

"You're right," Randy said, replaying his run-in with Enoch.

Given his temper, Enoch woul

    "I'm here to see Mrs. Osborne," Debra replied with a polite smile.The guard nodded. "I'll let her know.""Hang on," Debra stopped him. "Thanks to your help yesterday, we managed to find Erica. We're here to thank Mrs. Osborne. If she doesn't see us, just pass along our gratitude.""You're welcome. It's my job," the guard said, scratching his head. "It's cold out here. If you don't mind, rest in the security shack. I'll go tell Mrs. Osborne.""Thank you," Debra smiled again.Once inside the shack, Jordan asked, "We didn't find Erica. Why'd you spin it like that? Are you suspecting...""Just covering bases," Debra replied. "Erica's no lightweight. There is no way Enoch could take her away without Randy noticing. If it wasn't him, then it's gotta be Mrs. Osborne.""She is related to my family," Jordan said. "But she has been out of the family for decades. I don't see her pulling this off.""That's why I lied. I didn't want to dodge us," she explained.Marion pulled up the night

    Randy shook his head.Debra said, "Guess Enoch still cares about your ties. He had you sent back.""If Erica saw me like this, she'd chew me out again," Randy smiled bitterly.Erica hated seeing him banged up. She'd never say it, but she cared.He couldn't stand making her worry."But I'm sure they had her," he said, looking at Debra and Marion. "Enoch is the linchpin. His company is just a front. The Illuminati has been around for 100 years. It started almost the same time as the four families. I believe my grandpa was the founder."Debra and Marion swapped a look. They'd already pieced that together.Randy just confirmed it."That makes things trickier," Jordan said. "The Osbornes are one of the four families. They know all our secrets and setups. Explains why their moves against us always hit so smoothly.""The Illuminati is stronger than us, to begin with," Debra chimed in. "With Enoch leading them, we're in deeper crap."She paused and continued, "Our priority is getting

    The Potter Mansion was silent.Everyone looked at Marion on the couch.Debra squeezed his hand. "Jordan's guys are on it. Randy will be fine. Don't worry too much."Randy and Erica had been missing for 24 hours without any information.The valley's outer edge was crawling with hired guns, likely to keep them out.Even knowing Enoch ran the Illuminati didn't help. They had no leverage.A guard rushed in. "Report, Mr. Osborne...""Where is he?" Marion shot up from the couch."He's outside... on a stretcher," replied the guard.They rushed outside. Beyond the iron gate, Randy lay on a stretcher, pale as death. His gut was bandaged, blood soaking through."Randy!" Debra yelled at the guards, "What are you waiting for? Get him inside.""Yes, ma'am." A few guards hauled him in."Don't sweat it. Just a flesh wound," Jordan said, waving over William. "Hurry. Check on him."William raced down from the second floor, med kit in hand. "Coming. Where is the patient?"He sped over and

    Erica was older than him, about the same height as those jerks.Randy remembered her in a private school uniform. Her shirt was hacked short, and her bow was swapped for a tie. Tall and cool, she was like the queen of high school.She seemed to be glowing, and his eyes sparked.She frowned. "You've got guts to mess with my guy on my turf."Raised tough by Caleb, she had gotten real skills, not showy stuff.Those punks didn't even graze her. She flipped one over her shoulder, then kicked the rest down one by one.For the first time, Randy thought a girl fighting could look so cool.'If you could show up now like back then, how great would that be?'His eyelids got heavy. He could barely keep them open.He knew she couldn't swoop in to save him like before....Debra and Marion were at the city's edge when the call hit."What? Randy ran off to the valley?" Debra was shocked but quickly snapped into gear. "Wait. You got so many people there. How could he slip away?"They all

    "I've told you a million times," Enoch said. "Nothing in this world comes free. As a businessman, you know the drill. You want something. You pay for it."He looked down and continued, "Although I don't like you, my blood is in your veins. You want Erica? Then you do what I say."He stood up and walked over, clapping his hand down on Randy's shoulder. "You've grown up, my boy. You should carry the Osborne name proudly. I know you've got it in you. Together, we can build an empire. No more bowing to the other three families. No more kissing the Houstons' asses. We won't be the weak link anymore. You get me?"For once, he softened, almost fatherly. But to Randy, it felt fake as hell.If he were a loving father, Enoch wouldn't have ignored him for 20 years."You never held me or owned me," Randy said. "I don't need your approval or your empire now."He shoved Enoch's hand off and stepped forward, pressing the knife to Enoch's neck. Then he ducked behind Enoch, dodging Michael's line

    Enoch might've been older, but his face stayed smooth."Where's Erica?" Randy wasn't there to chitchat.Enoch sat down in a chair. The place felt like a giant cathedral, his spot way up high."She's with me," Enoch replied. "You want her back? Need something to trade.""What did you say?" Randy laughed coldly. "Trade? Erica is not a commodity, and you're committing a crime. She's going to marry me. Why did you do this?""She's tied to the Houston family," Enoch replied. "You could've picked anyone else. The Houstons are heartless. If it weren't for your sake, she'd be dead already.""I need you to hand her over," Randy barked, starting toward him.Suddenly, someone fired a shot. The bullet hit the floor an inch from Randy's foot.In that dim light, only a crack shot could pull that off.Michael stepped out from a corner, pistol in hand."See? So impulsive," Enoch sighed, glancing at Michael. "He is sharper and smarter, more like me."Randy pointed at Michael up on the platfo

    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
