Chapter 27: The Leaked Information
Chase advised, “Maintain your composure. Keep to the darkness and be attentive.”
Alessandro exclaimed in disbelief, “It’s astonishing that we are so near. The Raven is within our grasp.”
Lucy reminded everyone to concentrate on the task and collect as much as possible.
“We have achieved success in our operations thus far. This evening, we will deliberate on future endeavors and guarantee that there are no unfinished tasks.”
Member 1, asked: “Do the recent investigations warrant any concerns on our part?”
The Raven declared, “Worry is a sign of vulnerability. Our surveillance spans far and wide, leaving those in power at our mercy.”
Masked Member 2: “What about Brianne? Her death has caused curiosity and uneasiness among some members.”
“We saw Brianne as a minor obstacle, and her removal was imperative to safeguard our anonymity and authority,” stated The Raven.
Chase whispered, “Were you able to listen? They confessed to murdering Brianne.”
“We require additional substantial evidence,” whispered Lucy.
Alessandro whispered, “Let’s check the table for a briefcase. It could contain important documents.”
“We need to strengthen our hold. The mayor is our next objective as he has been openly opposing our interests.”
“What’s our next step?” asked Masked Member 3.
“We need to get rid of them discreetly. Let it appear as an accident. Further investigation is the last thing we want.”
Chase asked, “Alessandro, could you approach nearer? Those documents are necessary.”
Alessandro said he would attempt it and asked for someone to cover him.
Lucy cautioned, “Please watch out.”
Alessandro (edging nearer): “I’m getting close…”
“Our financial situation is still strong due to our laundering activities that keep our funds untraceable.”
“What about our opponents?” asked Masked Member 4.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“We shall handle them in the customary manner. Fear and force are our companions.”
Chase suggests, “We should step back since he has the briefcase.”
Lucy urged, “Please pause and pay attention. Their scheme is significant.”
The Raven declared, “We aspire to achieve complete dominance. Operating in secrecy, we shall govern with absolute authority. The Phoenix Club will be invincible.”
Member 1 wearing a mask: “We shall be guided by The Raven.”
“Absolutely. Let’s conclude our next actions.”
Alessandro said, “I’ve got it. We should leave this place.”
Chase suggested, “Let’s wait and listen further. It could be our sole opportunity.”
The Raven stated that the agenda for tonight is unambiguous, and emphasized on executing plans with the utmost accuracy while avoiding mistakes.
Member 2 wearing a mask: “Acknowledged. We will follow the given instructions.”
Chase said, “Alright, let’s start moving.”
“Let’s be quiet so we don’t alert them,” whispered Lucy.
Stealthily moving backward towards the entrance, they commence their retreat.
The Raven spoke gravely, “Finally, there is one more matter to address. We have a betrayer in our midst who has been disclosing sensitive information.”
Masked Member 3: “Whom do you mean?”
The Raven stated, “Soon enough, the truth will be uncovered. Place no trust in anyone.”
Chase urgently stated, “We must depart immediately.”
Alessandro exclaimed, “We’re nearly there!”
Lucy exclaimed, “Hold on! There’s someone approaching!”
As Marcus entered the room, he announced: “I’ve got some news.”
“Utter your words,” said the Raven.
Marcus remarked that the authorities were getting closer as they had obtained new information.
“We are constantly one step ahead; let them arrive.” – The Raven
Masked Member 1 asked, “What will happen if they discover us?”
“They will not resist. Our control is absolute. Proceed with ensuring flawless execution of our plans.”
Chase said, “We have run out. We need to act fast.”
Exiting the mansion, they backtrack through the garden.
Lucy exclaimed, “It was dangerously close.”
Alessandro expressed, “Our mission has been accomplished. This briefcase possesses the potential to bring them down.”
Chase suggested, “We should relocate to a secure place and examine everything.”
After locating a secluded area, the group inspects the briefcase.
Lucy exclaimed, “We have everything we need – financial records, names and dates!”
Chase exclaimed, “We’ve got them. This is the moment.”
Alessandro stated that the next step was to deliver it to the authorities.
Lucy cautioned that we should remain cautious as the Raven’s impact was widespread.
Chase suggested that they approach someone whom they have confidence in and who can execute their plans without arousing suspicion.
Alessandro concurred, stating the potential danger of allowing it to fall into improper hands.
Lucy stated, “This is for Brianne and all the individuals they have harmed.”
Chase exclaimed, “We must hurry, since time is crucial.”
With determination, the group hastens towards meting out justice to The Phoenix Club.
According to Lucy, we must stick with it because what we are doing is correct.
“We’ll make it happen in cooperation.”
Alessandro advised him to stay alert as the Raven would resist fiercely.
Lucy confidently stated, “We are prepared for any challenge that lies ahead.”
With their determination heightened, the group presses forward towards their intended location.
Chase exclaimed, “We have arrived. This is our destination.”
Lucy suggested, “We should put an end to this conclusively.”
As they gear up to dismantle The Phoenix Club, their unwavering bravery in the face of danger is evident as the scene fades.
In a tucked-away safe house, the group huddles around a table bathed in low light. The surface is overflowing with paperwork and tools.
“We must act swiftly. The longer we delay, the greater the chance that The Phoenix Club will become aware of our intentions,” urged Chase.
“I have compiled a roster of law enforcement contacts who may be reliable. Our selection process must be thorough,” Alessandro said.
Lucy suggests that Detective Harris should be our go-to person as he has been investigating corruption for years and can be of great assistance to us.
Chase agrees, saying “That’s a good idea. We should bring him in.”
Alessandro takes the receiver and punches in a phone number. After several rings, a husky voice responds.
Detective Harris said, “This is Detective Harris speaking.”
Alessandro introduced himself to the detective, stating that they had met previously.
Detective Harris inquired, “Alessandro, can you please update me on the current situation?”
