The moon hung low in the night sky, casting a pale glow over the sprawling Lim estate. Inside, the atmosphere was charged with anticipation. Sarah Fortex moved silently through the hallways, her footsteps muffled by the thick carpets. She had received a summons from her great-grandfather, **Auto Dane Lim**, a man whose word was law within the Cojuangco Mafia Organization.
Auto Dane Lim, though advanced in years, still commanded a presence that could silence a room. His sharp mind and ruthless tactics had earned him respect and fear in equal measure. Sarah had always admired his strength, and despite the complex web of deceit surrounding her family, she remained loyal to him.
She entered his private study, the room dimly lit by a single lamp on his massive oak desk. Auto Dane sat in his high-backed leather chair, his hands clasped in front of him, eyes piercing as he looked up at Sarah.
"Sit," he commanded, his voice gravelly but strong.
Sarah obeyed, taking the seat across from him. She could sense the gravity of the situation, the unspoken tension hanging in the air.
"I have a mission for you," Auto Dane began, his gaze never leaving hers. "A man named **Philip Dale Carter**. He's a drug lord, but that's not his only crime. He kidnaps young women, sells them into slavery, and operates under the guise of legitimate businesses. He's a stain on this world, and it's time someone cleans it up."
Sarah listened intently, her expression hardening as he spoke. "What do you need me to do?"
"I want you to eliminate him," Auto Dane said bluntly. "But it won't be easy. Carter is heavily guarded, and he operates from a fortress disguised as a mansion in the outskirts. You'll need to infiltrate his network, gather intel, and strike when he's most vulnerable."
A flicker of excitement sparked in Sarah's eyes. This was more than just a mission; it was a test, a chance to prove herself once again as a force to be reckoned with. "Consider it done."
Auto Dane leaned back in his chair, a rare smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "I knew I could count on you. But be careful, Sarah. Carter is dangerous, and he won't hesitate to kill anyone who gets in his way."
Sarah nodded, rising to her feet. "I'll handle it, great-grandfather. Carter won't see it coming."
As she turned to leave, Auto Dane's voice stopped her. "Sarah, remember this—your mother would have been proud of the woman you've become. She always believed in your strength."
Sarah paused, the mention of her mother stirring something deep within her. Fenn Isabel Fortex, the fierce mafia queen who had met a tragic end. Sarah's resolve hardened further. "Thank you, Lolo Auto. I'll make sure her belief in me is not in vain."
With that, she left the study, her mind already formulating a plan. Philip Dale Carter was a name she had heard before—a ghost in the criminal underworld whose atrocities were whispered in the darkest corners. Now, it was time to bring him into the light and extinguish his reign of terror.
Sarah thrived in the shadows, and this mission would allow her to unleash the full extent of her skills. Carter would soon learn that crossing the Cojuangco Mafia was a fatal mistake. And for Sarah, it was personal—a step closer to avenging her mother and reclaiming her family's honor.
