Archie POVWe are currently gathered in our meeting room to discuss the new developments around our territory as we have been noticing some suspicious movement recently. Normally, an underworld Lord, no matter how powerful they are, they are still under the rule of 'Never intruding into another's territory' and vice versa unless necessary, that is when they are provoked or challenged by the other lord. Now these movements show that the one responsible is doing it intentionally but they didn't need to think much about it because in the whole of the United States, there is only one person that dares to act like this in our territory."What is that old man planning now? It turns out he can't wait anymore" Asher blurted out, his hands not leaving his computer. "The project? Do you guys think he dares force us? I don't think he can" Luca sneered. "I have a feeling that he is here because of something. Like, something major happened and he can't stay calm anymore, Ace is not in the States c
Archie POV"Yes, I'm that young lord," Ace said without even looking at my widened eyes. "Edward has tried everything he can to get in but failed, all his men were killed so he has no other option than to use you guys as his bargaining chips with me. I should have come back but I'm too occupied, sorry guys" he added looking out through the window. "It's okay, you are already here so..." I said with a sigh, who would have thought that Ace accomplished all that within a year, it's really difficult to believe. And it's quite funny that we have thought about Ace being in Italy but kept on ruling it out."I'm not here," Ace said chuckling and that immediately got the six of us on alert, we all pulled out our guns and pointed at him at once without blinking "Who are you" Luca questioned, his face more serious than ever. 'Ace' chuckled again "You guys should relay because even though I'm not Ace, I'm Ace," he said confusing us more but one thing is sure and that is we are not putting away an
Archie POVAce turned to Eliam "I guess you don't have to choose whether to leave here or not as living here is no longer an option and it's for the better. You all come with me" he said and headed towards his quarters instead of outside but we just followed him. After we entered his room inside his quarters, we were surprised to see a secret door there, he pressed a code in and luckily that part of light energy hadn't been cut off by the bomb destructi... "BOOM" Another exploded almost next to us and without wasting any time we all jumped into the underground passage.As we rushed through the passage for half an hour now I couldn't help but wonder if Ace's clone hadn't come today how we are going to survive this. "How can Edward dare to kill us?" Asher almost screamed but when another bomb sounded above us he had no option but to shut up as his question was answered immediately without delay. We all hated Edward but not to the level Ace does but today I suddenly realized why Ace has
Archie POV"Edward, the gift you have me today, I will return it to you a hundredfold, just you wait, I will tell you that the life of this king is not something the likes of you can decide on" I muttered to myself take in a deep breath, even if Ace decides to pardon him, I will kill him personally.Edward POVI sat on my seat, a head seat that was taller than the rest of the seats by good enough inches. Soon, one of my head informants entered the hall and headed toward me "Lord Edward, the mission has been completed, everything burnt to the ground, no one alive, not even a fly survived" he said and played the scene for me on a very big wall screen facing me, the scene stunned me, I admit that I told them not to leave anyone alive but the scene in front of me is too much, it's like my dead sons are their enemies and not me, it was like my men where the people that ordered the extermination as they did a very fine job "Excellent, reword everyone of the leaders that was responsible for
Vlad POVI am so angry that all I want to do this moment is to rush up to this selfish, self-righteous, and arrogant old dick and strangle him to death this instance and then tell the world that he died of loneliness because there is nothing that he hasn't achieved, due to his blood turning cold from lack of opponents he died in a 'sitting posture' but I held myself at the last minute if not for anything but for the fact that there's a part of me that know that I won't be able to beat him in a fight let alone succeed, the man sitting on that elevated seat staring at me is a monster that has survived many-many assassinations and potential threats. It has been years ever since he last fought so no one really knows of his current combat strength. The fact that he was undefeatable years ago is the invisible reminder silently reminding me that he might be more of a devil now. The fact that he is still in his prime whilst looking younger is the most clear evidence. "They are your sons!" I
Vlad POVAn unshakeable determination suddenly came to my mind. I looked up with an expressionless face and made a vow 'I will never confront Edward until I have the strength to rival him and I will never rest till I have that strength' For the first time, I gave up on him. Before, if Ace appeared to kill him I would have tried to fight and try to convince him to let Edward go after all he is our father at the end. But if he can close his eyes and kill six of my brothers without feeling anything, then I will be the hypocrite or even the real devil if I try to stop Ace from taking revenge.That man is soulless and working with a soulless man I need to be heartless beyond extreme. I wanted to ask him about his plans for my mom who is in Rome but I decided against it at the last minute. I will save my mom by myself, besides if Edward dared to step foot in Italy he wouldn't even know how he would be slaughtered and he wouldn't even see Ace's base. I made a mental note to stand by my brot
London, United Kingdom, In a secret place. Asher POV The next day, I called on the guard I'm living with to brief me on the top powers over here. "Boss, actually there's not much difference with here, the United States, and Italy in terms of underworld authorities. Unlike the United States and Italy that have their general strong basses in Manhattan and Milan respectively, here in England, the headquarters for the underworld Lord is in the capital, here in London" Kane said. "I know that you are doubtful why they didn't notice your arrival and send their men to ask you to join their basses one after the other right?" he asked not waiting for me to reply and continued. "Naturally they should have gotten the news if any top member of the world comes in as no matter how low profit the visitor wants to be this is their base after all and no fly could bypass their detection. But your case is different as Boss Ace pulls a very secret string from within, making the six of you arrive
London, United Kingdom Asher POV Standing in front of the long glass window I'm only in a black boxer displaying my glory as if a devil awake admiring the beauty of the morning. But Currently, sex is not what's on my mind now as to how to take my first step towards my goal is. Kane was behind me explaining "There are nine Overlords here dominating the underworld. Originally there were lesser bases that were managed by their respective heads but ever since the King was coronation all the lesser base heads were either forced to join any of the nine Overlords or killed. So, Currently, the nine Overlords are the true leaders here and the other minor powers are their vassals with no exception" he said. "What about outside London?" I asked. "Outside Great London, the only place power equal to the nine Overlords resides is in Yorkshire and there are three powers there respectively occupying the three regions of Yorkshire. In some known cities like Manchester, Sheffield, Liverpool, and o
