The Syndicate remained in, and every selection he made now became crucial. He needed to live one step ahead, not only for his own sake but for Kylie’s as nicely. She became his international friend, and he couldn’t afford to lose her.He glanced at his watch. It is almost time. Tonight’s meeting changed into a secret, even from his closest allies. He wanted statistics, and there was the handiest one man or woman who could offer it. A smooth knock at the door pulled him from his thoughts. It became Kim.“Everything’s set, Boss. The touch will be right here in ten minutes,” Kim said, his eyes scanning the room as if awaiting trouble.Lysander nodded. “Good. Make sure no one knows approximately this. Not even Dorian.”Kim’s eyes barely narrowed, however he nodded. “Understood.”Lysander watched as Kim left, past the do

The weight of their sacrifice pressed heavily on Lysander’s shoulders. He knew the fight against the Syndicate was far from over.Kim approached, his face grim. “We’ve secured the area, but we need to move quickly. There’s too much damage. They’ll be back.”Lysander nodded, his mind already calculating their next move. “Get everyone ready. We’ll regroup at the secondary location.”As Kim went to relay the orders, Lysander caught sight of Dorian. His brother’s face was a mask of fury and suspicion. Lysander braced himself for the confrontation he knew was coming.“What the hell happened, Lysander?” Dorian demanded, his voice low but filled with anger. “Why didn’t you tell me about the attack?”Lysander met his gaze steadily. “I received intel that the warehouse was a target. I couldn’t risk

He looked up, surprised but pleased to see her.“Kylie,” he greeted, wiping sweat from his brow. “What brings you here?”She squared her shoulders, her eyes determined. “I want to train, Kim. I need to be able to protect myself and the people I love.”Kim nodded, respecting her resolve. “Alright. We’ll start with the basics and work our way up. You’ve be

The Syndicate was relentless, and this victory would only make them more determined.As the men regrouped and tended to their injuries, Lysander called a meeting. They needed to plan their next move. The Syndicate wouldn’t wait long before striking again, and they needed to stay one step ahead.“We need to hit them where it hurts,” Lysander said, his voice firm. “We can’t keep playing defense. It’s time to take the fight to them.”Kim nodded in agreement. “We’ve gathered enough intelligence to know their weak points. A coordinated attack on their key locations could cripple their operations.”Dorian leaned forward, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. “I’m ready. Just say the word, and I’ll lead the charge.”Lysander nodded,

The Syndicate had played their hand well, and the fact that they knew about Ava’s location indicated that there was a mole within their ranks. Kylie sat beside Ava’s bed, holding her hand. Ava’s eyes fluttered open, and she managed a weak smile. “Thank you for saving me.” Kylie squeezed her hand gently. “You don’t need to thank me. We’re family. We’ll always protect you.” Ava nodded, her eyes filling with tears. “I was so scared, Kylie. I didn’t think I’d make it out.” Kylie stroked her hair gently. “You’re safe now. Rest and get your strength back. We’ll find out who did this.” Lysander called a meeting with his top men, their faces grim and determined. Kim had already started investigating, but they needed t
