That morning, a major event shocked Kransbay. The head of the largest local gang, Caleb, and his son, Bradley, were found dead at home. Most of their confidants had been killed too. Caleb’s death caused a massive stir, especially since his only son. Bradley, was also murdered

With both father and son dead, their subordinates were in turmoil. Caleb’s vast empire had no immediate heir, and everyone wanted a share of it. Even smaller families outside the organization were eager to make a move…

Just as some small families were trying to band together to stir trouble, Caleb’s illegitimate children learned of the news and began appearing, demanding paternity tests. Once their identities were confirmed, all of them would have inheritance rights.
