I: Mr Jacus Giant
The city of Heru, famous for its beach, was, in its business dealings, owned by a crime boss named Jacus. The adopted son of Miran Pesu, Jacus was the second crime boss of Heru but was certainly a bigger dealer than his father. He didn’t hesitate to kill police or defy courts, unlike his father and to meet his goal, Jacus was capable of anything.
His unusual rise to power stemmed from his refusal to fight other crime bosses. He knew that would just waste men and resources and, in fact, didn’t fetch him. So he gathered them and shared different business dealings based on their family’s power and influence. His family, known as the Glorifiers, held key estates, including ammunition and clubs.
Soon, every criminal or gangster, not just in Heru but throughout the country, was only given two options: either to join Jacus’s empire or to die. Within a year, many were killed, and with every passing day, Jacus grew stronger. At the end of the first year, Jacus’s men killed Kara and his men in a crossfire, and this turned out to be a massive win for Jacus as Kara held companies that manufactured ammunition.
Though Kara’s death wasn’t intended, Jacus couldn’t help it. Seizing the opportunity, Jacus not only overtook the companies but also occupied the castle where Kara lived; he let Kara’s family leave without harming them. In the next year, five more crime bosses in different cities were killed in bomb blasts.
Along with them, four police officers who were helping these bosses were also killed. With this, the rest of the bosses bowed to Jacus, fearing for their lives. The once-adopted son, who no one even heard of beyond the city of Heru, was now known as the Giant of illegal trade. Everyone, sooner or later, started referring to him as “Jacus Giant”.
When he held so much power, the police quickly changed their tune. With an assurance of no more police killings across the country from Jacus himself, they have given complete control of Heru to Jacus for perpetuity. A move that solidified Jacus’s power in the country unlike anyone before him.
Even major government decisions were passed onto Jacus for review, and if he opposed them, they would be ratified. At the peak of his power, Jacus married his lover Emily from the city of Vincent. Her father was a crime boss in Vincent City and a firm supporter of Jacus, so he gave his consent without hesitation.
As the influence spread, many new business sectors were developed under Jacus’s control, and he had no choice but to assign them to trustworthy members. As the business grew, the family hierarchies were established, and the four families that worked closely with him were Bolts, Mins, Lasters, and Iriks.
He personally gave Bolts his clubs to manage, Mins were given resorts to manage, Lasters were given real estate dealings, and Iriks were given administrative responsibilities. Since he loved the Iriks family the most, he appointed them administrators to keep them close. They were the only family that lived in the castle, while others just met the Glorifiers when they were summoned.
Like his influence, Jacus’s family also grew, and Emila gave birth to two sons two years apart. The couple named the first son Randy and the second son George. Randy was not as good as Jacus in administration or control, but was much better than his brother. He thought as his father did when it came to diplomacy, while George thought of nothing until he finished his business.
For a span of two decades, Jacus ruled with no trouble. As his last project, he built another Castle in Spring Waters for him to retire in, and at the same time reinforced the castle they lived in and built many passages so it could withstand any attacks. Accepting his time was done, Jacus passed all of his estates to Randy alone. Everyone thought it was unfair, and some even voiced their opinion, suggesting that a few estates be given to George, but neither Randy nor George disagreed with their father’s command. Both brothers loved each other and considered themselves to be co-rulers of the estate, even when the elder held the title.
Following the tradition, Randy was titled ‘King’ after taking over the role, and he continued his father’s journey by majorly focusing on expanding their estates. Though he acted like his father in many ways, he didn’t marry someone of great value. He married a waitress named Julia from Fort Springs after they met at a cafe in Spring Waters.
The couple was blessed with two children too: the first was a daughter named Patricka Loyam, and the second was a son named Jacken Glorifier. Just like her grandfather and father, Patricka was extremely sharp in administration and in wielding power, but Jacken Glorifier, also called Glory, was a spoiled brat.
As the children grew older, Patricka started helping Randy King in administration while Glory learned to kill and instil fear. As days passed, Randy assigned George to supervise the families’ management of clubs and resorts and to transfer the full administrative responsibilities to his daughter, Patricka. George was more than happy as he hated the administration and actually preferred to control the clubs for a long time. Everything was going smoothly until Dr Adin called Randy one day and asked for a private appointment.
Upon accepting the invitation to meet, Randy was informed that Glory had got a girl pregnant and was about to become a father. Flabbergasted, Randy’s anger knew no bounds. Without listening to any advice from his family members, he banished Glory from Heru and declared he was no longer a part of the family. Without any argument, Glory walked away, and though Patrica and George were disappointed with the way Glory was treated, they dared not talk to Randy about reconsidering his decision.
At first, Patricka thought Glory would eventually contact her for help, but he never did. Time passed by, and he was nowhere to be seen. She hated that he never even wrote her a letter, and that she could never contact him by any means. All her sources ever said was that he was nowhere to be found.
As the days passed, club profits gradually decreased. Seeing the fall, George started paying surprise visits. As clubs were managed by Bolts, there was one named Kris’s club, managed by Brin. Brin is the only son of Michael Bolt, who was the head of the whole Bolt’s family. George was furious with the way Bolts was managing the business, and, to top it off, the bartender did not serve him properly. George immediately rushed towards the bill counter and complained about the incident, expecting a response. Brin was sitting at the counter, responding, saying, “Get the fuck out!”
Without even thinking for a minute, George dragged him out of the counter and made him kneel. He stared at him and shouted, “Do you know who you are talking to? Do you know?” and shot him on the forehead with his revolver. From that very day, Michael Bolt never attended any call from Randy. He separated all his clubs from Randy’s rule and, as a result, got the attention of others. Three days later, just when Patricka was almost ready with her plan to attack Bolts, her grandfather, Jacus Giant, passed away. Though the plan was ready, she had to wait until the funeral events were done.
The next day, when Patricka wanted to attack, the Castle gates were dashed off, and twenty-five cars arrived before the castle. From every car emerged four men carrying AK47’s. As soon as they got down, they started firing without any orders. Patricka heard the sound of a gun firing and walked towards her father’s chambers. When she reached his room, she found Randy lying on the ground dead. All that she could find was blood oozing out of his mouth, and there was no sort of body injury. In the room, she could see a broken teacup beside Randy and a maid lying on the floor to the other side of the table, shot down by a sniper who came driving through a big open window that was to the right of the table where her father usually sits. Just when Patricka started to observe the whole scenario, the door on the ground floor was blasted, and gunfire echoed through the whole building. Bishops held Patricka and pushed her out to a secret staircase. When they reached down, they could see Michael Bolt walking into the castle.
II: Ms Patricka Loyam
Invasion was the last thing Patricka ever expected. Apart from anything else, she never expected Michael Bolt to be so capable. She had many questions and was sure that Michael Bolt had someone supporting him. She walked along with her six bishops to the Sirn bar, which was one of the loyal clubs owned privately by her boyfriend, apart from the rest, which were managed by George.
As soon as she entered, the bartender greeted her and gave her a room to enquire about any injuries. Her guards suggested they leave the city by the next morning, as they presumed a hunting party would be set out to find them. As they reflected on their advice, tears began to flow. For her, nothing was left; she did not know where to go, nor did she believe that Springs Waters was still safe. She walked straight to her room and slammed the door without replying to the suggestion.
Three guards stood at the entrance, along with six gunmen who guarded the club. Two were on the rooftop, and the last one was guarding the room. After weeping for some time, Patricka fell asleep. Two gunshots woke her up. She opened the door, and the guard who was guarding her room was still in his position. From the window, both of them could see guns firing at the entrance. Patricka pulled her gun out, and all of a sudden, the bartender who welcomed her pulled out his gun and shot down the guard who was with her. Patricka shot the bartender, giving him no time to point towards her.
