A/N:- I'm sorry about this chapter being close to 2000 words, but I assure you that you won't regret reading this chapter.

"With everything that has been said and done, if I had the chance to do it all again, I would gladly do it in a heartbeat."

Kevin's brows creased at Drake's words. Then he grabbed the potion and stood up, before turning around, leaving Drake to die all alone.

"Fine, you can die for all I care, I still have Vanessa back home, I'll force her to tell me everything she knows."

Kevin moved away 'slowly', hoping that Drake would have something to say that would help him in not only finding out his last target but also provide him with added information on both Chris Mormon and Ned Baratheon.

Drake's face turned into a frown as he heard Kevin's words.

"Wait," He muttered in a low voice while trying to stop himself from coughing out more blood, but it was loud enough for Kevin to hear.

"Fine, I'll tell you what you need to know."

"It is true that Vanessa knows a lot of things about what happened to your family, but she's not to blame."

"I visited her s.t.r.i.p club a couple of times and whenever I did, I felt this slight connection with her."

"We became really close and we both exchanged stories.'

"I told her about a deal I made with a stranger and how I thought a chance to finally improve my financial situation had presented itself."

"I admit that at first, I was against it. I assumed that his plan wouldn't work and was destined to fail, besides, I never liked the idea of killing someone with my own hands."

"But he assured me that I wouldn't have to resort to such measures."

"He told me that someone else would do that and I didn't have to worry about a thing."

'I guess this explains why Ned Baratheon took my dad's life himself.' Kevin thought internally, his hands clenched tightly as he tried to suppress his anger.

After he cooled down a bit, Kevin continued to listen to what Drake had to say.

"It seems that they weren't interested in your father's means of making money and neither were they interested in the money he already had, even though it was more than enough to even feed an entire nation."

"Then I concluded that what they were really after was your Dad. However, I was wrong, the plan wasn't concocted by just one person, but rather a group of people who were also after your mom."

"Then he asked me what I was going to do, and informed me that I would need someone else to make the plan work."

"But Vanessa was the one who came to mind because I knew that Dahlia would never approve of the plan."

"Every time I visited Vanessa, I felt like she was the only one who understood me, and I didn't want her to get her mixed up in all this, but I knew that she needed the money, just as much as I did."

"So, I tried to see if I could carry out the plan by myself by proposing the idea of me seducing your mom, but I was warned that it wouldn't work. Nevertheless, I decided to carry it out while informing Vanessa of what she had to do."

"But, when I tried to do it on my own, your mother rejected me flat out, that woman was a tough nut to crack." Drake tittered to himself before turning to his side and spitting out more blood.

He leaned back to rest his back against the tree, then looked around the forest before continuing from where he stopped after taking a deep breath.

"Since my plan didn't work, I informed Vanessa of what she needed to do."

"At first, she wasn't too keen about the idea, but knowing that this was the only chance she would get to live in wealth, she agreed to my plans, but only on one

condition."

"She didn't want her sister to know anything about this."

"But this was good for us as well since the one who introduced me to the idea in the first place didn't want so many people involved in the plan."

"And with everyone in agreement, Vanessa became my emotional support, pushing me to not give up and to make the best of the opportunity we had been bestowed with."

'So, this was why Alfred said Drake became a changed man because of Vanessa. Now that part makes sense,' Kevin thought to himself as he listened further.

"In the end, the plan became a success and we celebrated with a bunch of other people and a really fat man requested that we have an o.r.g.y with a few other people as well before we could get paid."

"It ended up being the one responsible for sending us a potion of your dad's wealth, every month."

"Honestly, even till now, I still don't understand the kind of fetish that fat blob had."

"It was utterly disgusting."

Kevin narrowed his suspect down to Christopher Mormon since he was most definitely the one Drake was talking about.

Even with that out of the way, Kevin still needed the name of the person who started it all."

"I understand. So tell me the name I need to know, Is it Ned Baratheon?"

Drake chuckled to himself after hearing Kevin's words.

He could sense the impatience in Kevin's tone, then he took a deep breath before answering.

"No, it is not," Drake assured Kevin.

"But you won't be hearing the name from my lips, if Vanessa wishes to die with you and everyone she cares about, then she will reveal it to you."

"However, as for me, I would like to die in peace."

Kevin nodded at Drake's words and stood up once again before turning around to fly back home.

"I see, so this is goodbye then," Kevin remarked but just before he took to the sky, Drake uttered a few words to Kevin.

"Hey, kid."

"Hmm?" Kevin drifted his gaze back to Drake to hear what he had to say.

"Vanessa might not seem like it but she's a really good girl who cares a lot about her sister."

"If you can save her before things get messy, just try to do it as fast as you can."

"But if you can't, then try to end her yourself before it's too late and you both die. Also, if that happens, try to make her death as painless as possible."

The corner of Kevin's lips curled into a smile before he turned back once again to say. "Trust me, none of us are going to die. Kevin chuckled one last time before Drake added. "You all will be the ones to die if you don't stop this now."

"Don't even bother, I'm too involved in this to back down now."

"Is that so? Then I guess I'll be seeing you in h.e.l.l then."

"Yeah, you can count on it," Kevin smiled before flying towards the sky, leaving behind a huge crater on the ground.

Drake sat still, watching as Kevin's image slowly vanished into the distance. He took one look last at the sky before his eyes slowly began to lose their color.

Meanwhile, Kevin was now back home.

He had made up his mind to know the name of the man who started it all.

Since it wasn't Ned Baratheon, then who was it? Kevin wondered. So as soon as he returned home, he asked Vanessa for the name of the man. However, Kevin staggered a few steps back, refusing to believe the name that was revealed to him.

He alternated his gaze between Vanessa and Sasha, unsure of how to react.

But one thing was certain, he had no time for tears.

And now that he knew who started it all, Kevin decided that it was time to pay that person a visit.

He stormed out of his house in a rage, flying towards the location where his last target was most likely to be.

A few hours later, a young man walked out of his car in the dead of the night.

Most people would probably be scared or worried that cannibals or awakened individuals might be prowling the streets late at night whenever they were returning home as late as this, but this young man wasn't.

In fact, he was confident that he was the one whom the awakened and cannibals would be afraid of if they ever set their eyes on him.

He locked his car doors before walking towards the main entrance of his house, upon approaching there, he noticed that the door knob had been forcibly yanked off, but the door remained standing. 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎

"A burglar?" He thought to himself, however, he suddenly heard the sound of several breaking glass as it was thrown against the wall and to the ground.

The young man chuckled internally to himself at how gullible the burglars were to have broken into his house.

And with his mind set on making them regret their actions, the young man quietly slipped into his house as he tried not to alert the burglars, but Kevin already knew that he had arrived.

The young man walked into his living room, only to find a silhouette with glowing crimson eyes sitting on a chair and grinning at him while a murderous aura radiated from him.

Not wanting to waste any more time, Kevin was the first to speak up, "Hello Uncle."

A/N:- I hope this will be the last time I release such a word count. I can't currently write above two thousand words and then split them into two parts; this illness is so annoying. I'm heading off to my aunt's hospital, hopefully, I will be okay when I step out of there. Thanks for the kind words yesterday guys. I really appreciate your support.
