Hollywood Zenith-Chapter 1235: Reveal

Samuel was about to call Jane to find out if she found out anywhere in Moldova where Vishkanyas might be hidden but the crude map that Raani gave him pointed to a empty stretch of forest without pinpointing anything.

They had to send people and investigate which will take time that he didn't have right now.

Just in case, he also decided to ask her to check up on Roberta and Alana but his heart told him, it was Talia who was in danger.

But before he could make the call, he recieved a serious message from her telling him to rush to the office.

He decided to go and see what got her so spooked but before that he needed to appear calm so as to not alarm his family. Fortunately, they were still in back garden making it easier for him to sneak out.

"What happened now?" He asked saw rhe whole team was there with serious expression on their faces.

"The move that we were expecting have already been made and it's something we totally overlooked upto this point." Jane commented.

"What?"

"Witness. There were a lot of people gathered when you beat that pervert but more than that, there was someone whom you protected."

" If they could get to her, they might try to coerce her to make a statement. Since, the Queen already knows it was you, she only need to present your picture and stay out of the limelight to drag to into the mess without getting her hands dirty." Steve added.

"I remember her. Her name is Ellie, a rugby player. But she didn't seem like the type that would easily be fooled."

"Everyone has a breaking point. With how we linked the Green family with the royal family, I don't think she will go easy on anyone if she could get an advantage." Cho added. Everyone knew he was right, they had shook the hornet's nest, no one could be blamed for what happens next.

"Do we know where she is?" Samuel asked.

"Of course, the agents dispatched by her already took her. If we weren't in their system, we wouldn't even notice it."

"Okay, send me the location-"

"No boss, I think you have bigger fish to fry. Many of your companies and subsidiaries have come under attack. It seems like she didn't want to hastily attack Rothschild's mature business but your have only started few years ago."

"Alphabet might be bit but because many of it's subsidiaries are internet companies, she will find it easier to slap some serious charges as a way to hinder daily operations."

"From social sites to your investment firm along with your recent moves regarding expanding the business, everything has came under attack. She couldn't touch the search engine or your music company but everything else has recieved summons."

"It was a bad idea to keep the headquarters in London. Our neighbour or any island country would have been better with taxes and these type of bogus investigations." Drake commented.

After the financial crisis which originated in London, the country wasn't the same. They might have made enormous amount of money but a substantial chunk went to the government in the form of taxes.

It's not that he wanted them to overlook crimes but at least they should not bend their knees and harrass his people just because they got orders from the top.

"I will think more about it. Maybe it's time to change." Samuel added.

"We can develop an island and declare independence, creating our own country. In this day and age, if one has enough money, he could do anything." Jane exclaimed suddenly.

Steve facepalmed and urged his wife not to embarrass him further. Samuel asked about if she was able to find anything about where they took Talia.

"I scanned everything and even hacked into goverment facilities to look for their achieves but I found nothing. The place looks the same, at least from space. If there is anything, it's well hidden in the forest or deep underground."

"Ok thanks. Just focus on rescuing Ellie. I will go and see what I can do the business matter."

Few of her ventures did have outside investors, some even went public but he hardly cared about them.

There were dedicated CEO and chairman that looked after the company, with shares in their hand they did their best but he knew they wouldn't understand where this sudden pressure came from.

Almost all of Alphabet ventures were successful so he didn't want to break the cycle by being passive. Since the Queen wanted him to come out of the shadows, he will and fight fire with fire.

...

...

...

"I feel terrible." Talia exited the room but still chuckled despite the pain.

"You did good. The first phase was a resounding success but now you have to replenish your energy and take rest." Samara said removing her glove and touching Talia's cheek which was unexpected.

Talia felt the surge of fire over her cheek but it soon recessed giving of a coold feeling in it't place.

"Relax, now you can be considered a part of our clan. With the first phase, your body has developed partial immunity to the poison but any prolonged contact will still result in fatal consequences." Samara only touched her for a moment to confirm.

Ariel who watched it from the side wanted to stop her master. It was very dangerous what she was doing but seeing Talia was alright, she decided to stand down.

"Take her back to her room and give her some medicine. Also cut her hair-"

"Why?" Talia asked.

"Because most of it will begin to fall out soon. New ones will take it's place which will be jet black a minor side effect of this particular poison." Samara briefly explain to her before leaving Talia in Ariel's care.

Talia wanted to retort, her lush hair went up to her hips and she very much liked this look especially now that she knew Samuel also liked it. She could only imagine how many years it would take for her to regrow it.

"Don't tell me everyone has to go bald because of this ritual." She turned toward her sister and asked.

"That right. It's your choice but people don't want to see large chunks of hair contaminate everything when you walk by them. It's better to cut it prematurely to avoid trouble."

"Did you-" Suddenly Talia tumbled toward ground but Ariel caught her.

"There is no need for you to act tough in front of me. Everyone feels weak after the first session so it's normal." Ariel supported her taking her toward the elevator.

"Thank you. I didn't know I had such a caring big sister-"

"Stop! We might be related but I am not your sister so don't call me that. Beside, today was just a pre-show. You will have to endure much worse if you truly want to join our team."

"I know but I feel like I can do it." Talia said with a chuckle which betrayed her usual persona.

"Don't interact with those four devils. Master has instructed me to warn them so you will not have to feel burdened by their presence."

"I told you, I don't mind them. They are not that bad and I even find them funny."

"Funny? That's the first time someone described them this way. Either way, until everything is completed, you have to take care of your health. You will need all your strength to pass through the final hurdle."

" I understand."

They reached the upper floor and everyone saw Ariel supporting Talia which really shocked them. The bloodthirsty killing machine was helping someone was a new for them but they didn't dare say anything only watched them in silence.

When they reached their living quaters, as usual the four sisters were waiting for them but because of Ariel's stern warning they didn't dare to defy her and left Talia alone.

Ariel gently laid her on bed asking her to take care of her hair tomorrow for now someone would bring her food and she should get some sleep.

By now, Talia really felt the fatigue creeping in. Ariel watched over her making sure she finished her food because it was important.

As soon as Talia lay down on her bed, she drifted to sleep despite having many questions for her sister.

Ariel on the other had didn't know why she felt like her master was hiding something. She knew how dangerous a back to back dosage would be Talia might not survive until the end but she was helpless against her master's wishes.

She pulled out her phone debating looking at a specific number whether to do it or not. It would definitely be considered a betrayal sealing her fate.

It was ironic, Talia also faced the same situation just days before and now Ariel was on the verge of making the same mistake and the reason was her sister!
