The Hunter
Balthazar Private Limited was established right after the Second World War ended. It was founded by Alfred Balthazar who got the idea while he was serving with the Royal Military and he had recruited a few of his men and family members. The main purpose of the company at that time was fixing horse races and football matches. As time passes, the gang starts to expand to smuggling drugs, weapons, and creating their own whiskey.
After Alfred died, his son, Charles took over and started to train his only son, Theseus who had just turned twelve to prepare him just in case anything happens to him. When Theseus turned sixteen, his father and mother were shot dead in a restaurant during their date night, making him the youngest gang leader in England and once he took over, his first priority was to hunt down his parents murderer. The gang's name changed to The Hunter and they hunted to kill as they recruited more people in the gang.
It took them two years to finally wipe out the rival gang that had murdered his parents. Theseus was feared among other gangs and when he killed, he took down the entire gang member with their family to the last child. His hands were inked with blood from adults to babies during that killing spree, he did the execution himself as a punishment and to show other rival gangs that they should fear The Hunters. He doesn't care when he hears rumors that people had started to call him mental and devil, he accepts it. The Hunter had now added another activity in their business and that is assassination.
Years had passed and while Theseus was waiting for a potential client in a coffee shop, the entrance doorbell rang and he looked up, his eyes widened as he looked at the figure who entered the shop. My God, what a beauty, he thought to himself. His eyes stared at her as she walked to the counter to order a coffee in her school uniform. Her long brunette hair fell below her shoulder as she stood and waited patiently behind a short line. She turned her head to look around and when her eyes landed on Theseus for a second, he took a deep breath heavily but did not drop his gaze as he stared into her dark brown eyes. She frowned a bit and looked back in front of her as her turn came.
Her figure was suddenly blocked by a figure who stood in front of him and he stood up to shake hands with his client. His eyes linger behind his client and to his disappointment, she had already disappeared. His eyes quickly darted towards the glass window to look for her but she was gone. There were no traces of a girl in a dark blue blazer.
'I'll find you, my Queen..'

The Phoenix
Esmeralda Martinez had finally escaped her abusive father and had managed to take a flight to England from Spain. She was only sixteen at that time and with the help of her cousin's friend, she got herself a job as a waitress in a restaurant in the center of London. Few months later, she met with a dark mysterious businessman named Henry Phoenix and both of them fell in love with each other.
After a few years of courting, they got married and Esmeralda soon became involved with Henry's world of gangs and found out that he was into bank heists and raids. But there was no turning back, Esmeralda was so in love with Henry and stayed with him even though she knows he's a criminal, and Henry loves her just the way she is and will do anything if it comes to her.
Years have passed and technologies have grown. In twenty years, the couple have been blessed with five children, Dylan Ricardo, Theo Marco, the twins; Ezra Arlo and Zara Helena, and the youngest Leon Geraldo. Henry had started to train Dylan since he was eleven and did the same to Theo when he reached the same age. By the time Dylan turned fifteen, he was already involved in street racing and had recruited a few more trustworthy members.
Sadly, Esmeralda died of ovarian cancer a few years later, breaking Henry's heart. He continued to take care of his children and keep training them until two years later, after the death of his wife, he was murdered in a negotiation gone wrong, leaving a twenty year old Dylan to take care of his siblings, with Theo who just turned eighteen, the twins only eleven, and ten year old Leon.
Dylan expanded the family business to not just heist and street racing, but also in transporting illegal cargo or people that were requested by their clients. Dylan started to train the twins when they turned twelve, and Leon a year after that, and soon even the twins were involved in street racing at a very young age. Since technologies were advancing, so was their skills and the gang had added hacking and tracking in their resume.
Dylan had kept his parents promise to look after the family at all times, but little that he knows that one day, his only sister will be one of the key points that will change everything in a few years. Zara was only fifteen when she experienced her first fear. She was getting a coffee on her way back from school when she briefly locked eyes with a man in a coffee shop. Her instinct immediately told her to break the staring contest and get her coffee and leave as fast as she can. His eyes had screamed longing, desire, and murderous at the same time. She was relieved when another person blocked his vision and she quickly paid for her coffee and rushed outside the coffee shop.
'I never want to see that man again..'
