Chapter 15 - Unmasking Shadows

As they sat down to eat, Samuel turned

to Andre and Leo. "So, who do you think

could be behind this new player?"

Andre shrugged. "I don't know, but I

have a few ideas. Maybe it's someone

from our own organization who's gone

rogue."

Leo nodded. "That's possible. Or maybe

it's someone from a rival organization

who's trying to take us down."

Samuel's eyes narrowed. "I don't think

it's either of those. I think it's someone

who's been hiding in plain sight,

someone who's been playing us all

along."

Luck leaned forward, his eyes sparkling

with interest. "Who do you think it could

be, Samuel?"

Samuel's expression turned thoughtful.

"I'm not sure yet, but I have a few

suspects in mind. We'll need to do some

digging to figure out who it is and what

their motives are."

The group fell silent, each lost in their

own thoughts as they continued to eat

and discuss the plan.

Later that night, they retired to their

respective rooms, with one room left

empty and guarded by Luck's men.

As the night progressed, a subtle

rearrangement occurred among the five

men guarding the supposedly empty

room. Three of them discreetly withdrew

from their positions, leaving the room

momentarily unattended. This calculated

adjustment was a crucial component of

the meticulously crafted plan.

Soon, a group of men quietly

approached the mansion, their footsteps

muffled. They raised their silenced

weapons and took down the remaining

guards outside the empty room,

ensuring no sound was made.

Once inside the room, the intruders

were met with emptiness, their intended

target conspicuously absent. Before they

could comprehend the situation, the

mansion erupted into a blaze of light as

if awakening from slumber. A swarm of

men swiftly converged on the scene,

forming a formidable barrier in front of

the room.

Among them stood Samuel, Andre, Leo,

and Luck, unified in purpose and clad in

their trademark black attire. With

resolute determination, they seized the

intruders, swiftly bringing them under

control. The captives were promptly

escorted to the basement, where the

truth behind their intrusion would be

revealed.

As the night wore on, Samuel's anger

grew. He had brought the men who

broke into his mansion to the basement,

where they were beaten mercilessly by

the guards. The men were left battered

and bloody, their faces a mess of bruises

and cuts.

Samuel stood before them, his face

twisted with rage. He had a reputation

for being ruthless, but this was

something else entirely. His eyes blazed

with fury, and his face seemed to

darken, as if he was becoming a

malevolent force. Andre, Leo, and Luck

exchanged worried glances, unsure of

what was happening.

"Who sent you?" Samuel growled his

voice like a low rumble of thunder. The

men cowered, unable to respond.

But Samuel's anger only intensified. He

raised his hand, and a guard stepped

forward, beating the men with a brutal

efficiency. The sound of screams and

crunching bone filled the air, making

Samuel's face even more twisted.

It was as if he had become a monster, a

creature driven by rage and fury. The

men begged for mercy, but Samuel was

beyond reason. He beat them until they

were nothing more than bloody pulp,

their bodies broken and battered.

Finally, the men lay motionless on the

ground. Samuel's face began to return

to normal, but the damage was done.

The air was thick with the stench of

blood and sweat.

The men were quiet now, but Samuel's

gaze was still burning with fury. "Who

sent you?" he repeated, his voice low

and menacing.

One of the men struggled to speak, his

voice barely audible. "V-Vincent...

Vendamen," he croaked.

Samuel's face went white as snow. He

stared at the men in horror, his mind

racing with the implications.

"Vincent Vendamen?" he repeated, his

voice shaking with rage.

Andre, Leo, and Luck exchanged

shocked glances. Vincent Vendamen

was one of their closest friends - or at

least, they thought he was. How could

this be? What could have driven him to

send such men to break into their

mansion?

The silence in the basement was

oppressive, heavy with tension and

uncertainty. Samuel's face was still

twisted with rage, but now it was also

laced with confusion and betrayal.

Samuel's rage was still burning as he

pulled out his gun and began to shoot

the men who had broken into his

mansion. The sound of gunfire echoed

through the basement, and the men's

bodies slumped to the ground. Samuel

didn't even flinch, his face still twisted

with fury. He didn't care that his blazer

was now covered in bloodstains, or that

his face was smeared with crimson.

Without hesitation, he turned and

walked out of the mansion, leaving the

carnage behind him. Andre, Leo, and

Luck followed closely behind, their own

faces set with determination. They knew

better than to question Samuel's actions

when he was in this state.

As they drove through the forest, the

trees seemed to blur together as they

sped towards Vincent's home. The

mansion loomed ahead, its grandeur

and beauty a stark contrast to the chaos

they had left behind.

Samuel slammed on the brakes, and the

group piled out of the car. They

approached the mansion, and Samuel

burst through the main door, gun

drawn. The sound of gunfire echoed

through the halls, and Vincent's men fell

to the ground.

Andre, Leo, and Luck followed close

behind, taking charge of the situation.

They moved swiftly through the

mansion, clearing room by room. They

finally reached Vincent's bedroom,

where they found him sleeping in bed

with a teenage girl.

The girl was crying beside him, her eyes

wide with fear and tears streaming down her face. She looked up at Samuel and

saw the blood-soaked mess on his

blazer and face. Her eyes went wide with

horror, and she let out a small scream.

The girl scrambled off the bed and ran

towards the bathroom, slamming the

door shut behind her. Vincent woke up

with a start, his eyes taking in the chaos

around him. He looked up at Samuel, his

face pale with fear.

"What...what's going on?" he

stammered.

Samuel's face twisted with rage once

more. "You tried to harm my wife and

my brothers," he growled, his voice low

and menacing. "You're going to pay for

that."

Samuel's face twisted with rage once

more. "You tried to harm my wife and

my brothers," he growled, his voice low

and menacing. "You're going to pay for

that."

Vincent's eyes widened in shock as he

took in the accusation. He knew he was

beaten, and he didn't stand a chance

against Samuel's fury.

Without hesitation, Samuel grabbed

Vincent's arm and dragged him out of

his mansion. Vincent struggled and

kicked, but Samuel was too strong. He

pulled Vincent into his car, still in his

underwear, and drove to his own

helipad.

Once they arrived, Samuel pulled out a

length of rope and tied Vincent to the

footrest of his helicopter. Vincent's eyes

were wide with fear as he looked up at

Samuel, who was now standing over him

with a cold, calculating gaze.

Samuel didn't say a word as he turned

and walked back to his car. He drove off

towards Natasha's villa; leaving Vincent

tied up and helpless.

Meanwhile, Andre had already driven to

Natasha's villa, arriving just before

Samuel. He pulled up to the entrance,

where Natasha was waiting for him, her

face set with determination.
