EPISODES 45 & 46
The brooks mansion*
Mr brooks were enjoying the perfect view from his rooftop when a guard walked in
“What’s new,” he asked as he place his drink back at the Mini table in front of him
“Boss, Philli-p is back, and he requests your presence,” the guard said as he bent his head
“Let it better be good News, send him in,” Mr brooks commands
“On it boss,” the guard replied and left, a few minutes after Philli-ps came in with a bleeding hands
“Boss,” he called calmly, his hands are still bleeding and the pain is becoming unbearable… He thought of going to the hospital but that will be a waste of time
Brooks was stunned to see the way Philli-p looks, who the hell did that to him, could it be that they caught him on duty.
Many questions run into his mind but he couldn’t bring himself that low to ask such a question, besides his the boss and he can’t look weak before his subjects, he quickly Change his expression into a frown and face Philli-p
“Don’t tell me that you are such a waste of time, anyway hope there is good news. If not hold it to yourself,” brooks said
“Yes Boss, there is good news,” Philli-p replied
“Make it quick,” brooks said
“Currently, one of the boys is going crazy and at this rate, he will do anything just to get revenge on Richard,” Philli-p said
“What’s that supposed to mean, go straight to the point and stop wasting my time”Mr brook shouted, his always the inpatient type
“The baron is dead, and I think is he related to the boy somehow, the boy is the last one you were looking for, the smith found him first….. He chops off my fingers and sends me to deliver a message to the young master,” Philli-p replied as he stop to catch his breath
” Dead!! The baron?” Brooks asked to be sure
“Yes, boss” Philli-p replied
“That’s not possible, did you know how many people have tried to kill him and they all end up dead… No, I don’t believe this, it better be a joke,” Mr. Brooks said, he remember sending different a-ssa-ssins to kill him but they ended up dead
He even threatened to burn down all his company if he tries anything funny with him again, and since then he hasn’t heard anything from him
“I can’t lie to you boss he’s dead,” Philli-p replied
“Wonderful, am about to kill three birds with one stone… Am a genius, brooks the genius,” the said and raised his wine up
Philli-p was silent for a while waiting for brooks to finish his celebration so he would continue when brook shouted at him
“Did I need to tell you to continue,” brooks said trying to be calm, he don’t want to miss any part of this important information
“He said I should tell the young master that, he’s coming for him,” Philli-p replied and brooks jump up from his chair immediately
He was still trying to un-derstand why his master would jump like that when brooks shouted
“Yes!!!!!! Go call Richa-rd this needs to be celebrated,” Mr brooks said and Philli-p left
“Am a genius, just what I wanted… Let’s see how it goes by the time I control Richa-rd and anger controls him. In the end, there will be nothing like the Smith family, ” Mr. Brooks
“AM A GENIUS” Mr. Brooks shouted, he was still celebrating when Richa-rd walks in
“Father, you called me!” Richa-rd said calmly, he noticed his father’s mood but acted as if he saw nothing
“Yes son, you’ve made me proud,” Mr. Brooks said and ruffle his head twice
Richa-rd looked at him in bewilderment, he don’t seem to un-derstand what was going on, why is his father acting this way,” he thought silently
“Father…” He called
“Shh, you have proven to me that you are the son of your father, you didn’t only stop the wedding but you sent my long enemy down….. I have decided to hand over the company to you,” Mr. Brooks asked and Richard’s eyes widen
“Really,” he asked
“Yes son, for your good works, keep up the good work and make me proud.” Mr. Brooks said, as if he means it, his only giving him the company so that Richa-rd will follow his lead and do anything he asked of him
“I will not disappoint you father,” he said and walked over to hug him but brooks shift back avoided the hug
“You are not yet qualified,” Mr brooks said with a wicked smile

The Smith mansion* next day
Jason walked into Lucas’s room to see him packing, he slowly walked towards him and tapped him gently
Lucas looked back to see who it was he continues his packing, Jason just watched him pack not knowing how to start a conversation
The room was becoming tense for Jason as Lucas zi-pped up his bag, then he decided to speak up
“Did you have to go?” Jason asked
“That’s the best for me,” Lucas replied and rolled his bag outside
everyone was waiting for him, he didn’t even spare them a glance. He grabbed a keg on the table before speaking up
“Lemme borrow this, I will return it tomorrow,” he said
“You don’t have to live Lucas, we un-derstand your pain,” Steve said and he walked up to him
“Lucas, we are your family, where else could you go,” Mr. Smith added
“Please don’t go,” Sandra said with tears
“No one here un-derstands a thing about me, you said we will think of a plan once the burial is over. It’s almost afternoon yet nothing has happened,” Lucas said referring to Mr. Smith who looked away instantly
“Lucas, we are talking about a baron here who might have many enemies, it won’t be easy to fish out Richa-rd since his the mastermind behind all this… You need to calm down, we don’t know if Richa-rd is working alone or not,” Steve said calmly, Lucas lost it and rushed to him
“If there is anyone that needs that lecture it should be you, so quit trying and be true to yourself first,” Lucas said and rolled his bags towards the car
All eyes landed on Steve as he wondered if Chelsea by any means told Lucas about him,
*
Lucas pulled over in front of the cartel and observe it closely, this is the same place paps never wants him to come, saying he doesn’t want Lucas to be a baron like him. But now things have taken a turn for him
He walked into the building and all eyes landed on him wondering who he is, some group of boys blocks his way immediately but him being Lucas, it seem not to bother him
“What did you want boy,” brown asked standing in front of Lucas, who looks fearless
“Did you miss your way,” a girl asked lic-king her li-ps seductively
Lucas ignored them and push brown aside, brown made to attack but Chelsea appears immediately with some high rant members
“Let him pa-ss,” Chelsea said and the boys partway for him
Brown looked at him dangerously, if only glare could kill Lucas would have been dead, Lucas saw him staring but choose to ignore them
*
“What are you doing here?” Chelsea asked as they walked into the building
“a-ssembly everyone and announce my arrival, it’s time to claim what’s mine,” Lucas said and made his way into the big hall
Chelsea looked at him and saw the difference in him, the death of paps has done a lot of damage to him
“You heard him, a-ssemble everyone,” Chelsea said to bush who walks out without saying anything
Within some minutes everywhere was already filled up, they wondered who the new boy was, it’s only paps that have the power to call for the gathering
No one was able to explain what was happening, they just stood and watch since Chelsea was in charge they were expecting her to stand out but she didn’t
Lucas walked towards the only chair at the center, he stared at it for some seconds before sitting on it and everyone gasped
“How dare you, you little thing,” brown shouted and made to walk towards the chair but a bullet sent him back to his knees
“He’s the heir,” Chelsea shouted loud enough for everyone to hear it, they all know paps have a son but no one has ever seen him except for the high-rank members
The wounded brown groa-ns and looked at his bleeding leg before looking at Lucas who seems cold
“Am here to claim what’s mine, it’s a painful thing that my father is not here today… As the son of my father, I will make this place a better place for all of us, the weak shall perish and the strong shall lives long,” Lucas said not looking at anyone
*
“Lucas, you still….. Chelsea was interrupted by Lucas
“Don’t ask questions, try and be useful by giving me information about the brooks,” Lucas said as he walked into his father’s chamber
“The only news is that two of their good is coming back today, one from India and the other one from china,” Chelsea replied and Lucas chuckled
“Burn it,” he said
