Victor's thoughts drifted to Xandros Volter, a name synonymous with ruthless ambition. The Volter family had long been sworn enemies of the Blackwoods, their animosity simmering like an open wound.However, Victor knew this feud wasn't as ancient as it seemed. If events had unfolded as his grandfather had desired, the landscape would be vastly different today.Xandros had surpassed his father's cruelty, his tactics merciless and calculating.
