Luck was definitely on their side. The T-Junction was close to them. So they made it in time. All that remained now was to make it to that tunnel gate ES03 mentioned. If they could do that and shut their pursuers in, they should be in the clear. But where does the new tunnel lead to? "03, where are we headed?" Derrick asked." Another village I presume. This was not on the map till we got pretty close to it."" Where does this tunnel lead to?" Derrick screamed at HD who was in another cart. " It's one of the new tunnels. If it's not identified on the map then I don't know." HD screamed back."Shit!" Derrick muttered. Now they were hurrying towards the unknown blindfolded. They kept their speed up in silence but soon it was disrupted with gunshots. The hostiles were catching up on them. Shia!They all increased speed but a golf cart could only do so much. "How long?!" Derrick asked the tech guy

On the fourth day, Derrick, who was always leading alongside ES01, was the first person to feel the cooling breeze on his parched skin. He got excited and started running. The others were startled but soon knew why he was being strange. They didn't hesitate to go after him. And soon they started hearing the muffled sound of water crashing against rock. As the sound got louder, their excitement got higher except for Lobo who couldn't swim. He was petrified. And when Derrick caught the terrified look on his face, he snorted. Now energized by the glimpse of hope, they hurried towards the sound of water but soon came to another T-Junction. Where to go? "I say we keep right." HD offered." Yes." Nodded ES03.Without a word, Derrick complied and soon the noise became so loud that they couldn't hear each other 's panting and harrid breathing again. 20 minutes into jogging and a white sheet came into view ahead of them. Getting closer to

Rolph was in his room trying to figure out the best way to get rid of Jolanta without having to kill her. He had spent the whole night pacing, cussing and grunting. He was supposed to be at the auction the previous night but had locked himself in his room ignoring all calls and knocks except for when he wanted to give Derrick instructions. -And he was right to have followed his instinct because Ben was sold to a foreigner and would be taken out of the state. If he dies, all the client had to do was pay his worth in money. How much was Ben really worth? Maybe a few millions as a Czarna pantera's pet but as his elite, how much was he worth? Who can pay for that without losing their lives? So when he was told that Ben's signal had gone dead in Mexico, he had told Derrick to find him, bring him back and wipe out every member of whatever gang was involved with Ben. Right after that, he went back to trying to figure out how to handle Jolanta. A

Three hours later, he managed to get his ass out of his room. There were simply too many emotionally exhausting things to deal with. Hannah's feelings for Derrick, Jan's anger, Jenifer who will definitely look for him, Jakub who will question him about Hannah and Derrick. Topping that chart was Jolanta. He will never be ready to face Jolanta.And just like he had predicted, the moment he stepped out of his room, a guard was waiting by his door and the guard told him that Jan wanted him to come to the main villa anytime he surfaced. Resigning to the inevitable, Rolph got in his Jeep and made his way out of the desert but he took his sweet time to arrange his thoughts. Leading to a 10 minutes drive taking up to 30 minutes. By the time he arrived at the main Villa, it was already dark. As he made his way to the main door, Jan and Hannah exited and they met on the porch. "Brother!" Hannah called. "Hannah? What are you do…" Rolph was surprised on seeing Hannah with Jan. That wasn't a

Two things Rolph got from this conversation. One, Hannah was bent on marrying Derrick with or without his approval. She has colluded with Jan to force his hands. Arrrgh! Hannah!Secondly, Jan had kept him in the dark about the stability of the family's position in the underworld. Even though he was the heir-appointed and had started training in the underworld from the very beginning, he had been withdrawn from that life the moment he started attending public schools 2 years ago. And when he moved to Texas and changed to online classes, Jan had still insisted that he finish with his selected educational curriculum, single handedly selected and arranged by Jan himself. Rolph was given a maximum of five years to complete this curriculum after which he was to join the army for another 2 years, retire then gradually take over from the Demonic. Therefore, transfer of power wouldn't start for another 8 years give or take. But

That night, neither of them slept a wink. While Rolph went horse riding into the distant dunes with a Twink and a guard, Jolanta spent the night talking to Hannah who advised her to just leave Rolph alone for now. And the Twink that went with Rolph, he never came back. Hours later, towards evening, Rolph got a call from Derrick. There was still no word on Ben's whereabouts but the top gun of the gang that bought Ben wasn't some random player. He turned out to be one of the biggest, most mysterious, well hidden, Mexican drug Lords, Rolph had been on the lookout for because this guy, Draco by name was consistently, unabashedly putting up huge fees for his assassination on the darkweb. Since Rolph had never met this guy or took any business from him, the only possible explanation was that the guy was connected to Marek. To think that the greatest threat to his life walked into his home, spent the night and even bought his Elite as a slave wa

As Rolph raced his car to his Villa, he made a call to Derrick, giving him a download of what had happened at the ranch and the instructions to find Draco and bring him in dead or alive. When he got to his Villa, men were still around doing a second sweep. Jolanta was outside waiting for them to be done and when Rolph arrived, driving in like a maniac, she got more agitated. But then, she needed answers and only he could provide them. So Jolanta braced herself and approached his car as he was stepping out of it. "Raphael ! What is going on?! They found lots of explosives? Who did this?!""I should be asking you." Rolph turned on her with dark eyes. She stepped back more out of indignation than fear. "What do you mean?"Rolph gave her an intense stare but seeing that she was truly confused and angry at his accusations, he relented but started walking away. As expected, Jolanta hurried after him."Draco came in as a guard u

After surfacing, Derrick and the boys moved to Texas City directly. They didn't dare to stay even a night in San Antonio because they didn't want Jan to catch up on their extracurricular activities.Even in Texas, HD wasn't taken to Rolph's downtown clubhouse where most interrogations were normally carried out. He was taken to Rolph's home in a blindfold, in the middle of the night and kept underground for interrogation. With his help, Nikkie was able to track down Draco who was also brought in, 4 days after HD got to the house. Unlike HD who was chained to the wall but could sit, stand and move around at will, Draco was chained on his feet and couldn't move an inch from his spot. Having discovered that HD knew practically nothing about Ice's work and research, Derrick and the Shadows let him lead them to Ice's hideout located in an out of the way village in the rural part of Mexico. The security of the house was way too futuristic, it outclass

After Derrick left in the chopper, Jan's men hurriedly hid what they could before the army came in to investigate.

In the wee hours of the morning, as Jan was Preparing to meet with the family's PR team to plan the press conference where they will announce that Rolph was no longer the future heir of the family, Adam's call came in. His voice boomed with anger and resentment. He demanded to know the reason for the darknet announcement. But after Jan's timid explanation, all Adam said was …"Make sure my son-in-law is back at the ranch unharmed by the time I arrive at midnight." He then disconnected the call.

When Jan got to the desert, he met total chaos. Dead bodies littered the ground and half of the den was a heap of blocks and dust. His men had Nikkie's surrounded. Two of Nikkie's men were holding up the still unconscious Derrick in-between themselves, while the rest guarded them with weapons drawn. The two teams were having a standoff waiting for who would fire first but this was only possible because Jan had called his men earlier and told them to cease fire. Jan gallantly strolled to stand beside Boris who was leading his men. He took his time to look Nikkie's men over and imprint their faces in his heart before smirking in a derisive way. " So you all are Jakub's men living right under my nose." He nodded his head in acceptance of the fact in front of him. Jan was brimming with anger and the restraints he placed on himself knowing that Jakub could blow up his ranch was evident in his voice and body language. He was trembling and had his p

As Rolph made his way to the nearest safehouse on his way out of Texas State, Every security personnel affiliated to Nikkie but working for Jan were simultaneously packing up. They have always been ready for this day for years. They were Jakub's ears and eyes on the ranch but their main duty was to watch out for Rolph.

Whatever monitoring needed would from thenceforth be done from underground.They were given two assignments. First was to rescue Derrick and the second was to bring Rolph to New-York.

When Jan left the office, he made his way to his Villa in a very dark mood. All he ever wanted was to reinstate his family back in Poland as his father made him promise before his death. And he could only do that by having a male heir who will carry on the name of the family. But somehow, the universe decided to make a joke of him by giving him two boys and giving those two boys nothing but girls. When he had discovered Rolph's existence, it was a miracle to him because he had already given up hope. Now after years of grooming the boy with everything he had, he was faced with turning the boy into a prey for his enemies to hunt down.

By the time Rolph stepped into Jan's office, he found Jan standing by a window with a freshly lit cigar in his mouth. Rolph humbly walked over to Jan's desk and stood there with his head bowed, waiting for further instructions. "Sit down." Jan muttered. In fact, if Rolph's five senses, except for his down-turned eyes, weren't focused on Jan, he probably wouldn't have heard the order. It was as if Jan wasn't talking to him. This made him wonder if there were more troubling things to come. Whatever it was that had Jan so distracted could only be resolved by Jan. Even his own present issues were out of his hands. Rolph took one of the seats and waited. He didn't have to wait for long because Jan puffed a fog of smoke then returned to his seat where he opened his laptop and turned it to face Rolph. On the screen was an open letter from the leader of Robert's family. "They have contacted you?!" Rolph gasped."Read it." Jan replied.Rolph heaved and started reading. The first thing

The moment they stepped into the room, two men already on standby grabbed Derrick and dragged him to a set of heavy iron chains hanging down from the ceiling, just like the one Rolph had in his underground torture room back in Texas. Since Derrick was declared as Rolph's property, Rolph had stopped receiving his punishments. Derrick was the one receiving them in his stead. So when he was grabbed, Derrick and Rolph were not surprised and Derrick didn't put up a fight. Rolph rolled his eyes and faced Jan who had settled in his seat, smoking his cigar as he watched his men chain Derrick up. "How is what Jolanta does with Jennifer any of my business? I don't know where they are. Why are you putting this on me?" Rolph demanded with a straight face. Jan chuckled silently and glanced at Rolph before crushing out his cigar on an ashtray on the table beside his chair. "You have really overestimated yourself. Do you really think that i di
