True Tycoon Her Empire, Her Rules

Winnie’s tweet sent a shiver down the spines of her followers the moment it hit the digital waves. And for good reason, the last person she’d publicly accused of having blood on their hands was Naylor, and he had the lives of five souls weighing on his conscience.

Now, she was calling out the perp who’d gone after a child with a blade, saying he was steeped in blood debts, and not just a few.

“My God, could this be the work of a serial killer?”

Panic swept through the online community at the speed of light. Within minutes, the tweet had been shared over ten million times, and Winnie’s words were trending.

Then came the call from Newman, his voice urgent and breath short.

“What did you mean in your tweet? What’s this about a blood debt? How many has he…”

Winnie cut him off, “It’s not human lives.”

That one line eased–Newman’s panic, but his breathing was still labored.

“What then?” he asked.

“Animals. Small ones.” Winnie replied, her voice colder than usual, tinged with disgust, “Even cats and dogs have spirits, especially those brutalized to death. Their souls cling to their tormentor.”

Newman felt no relief. He wasn’t particularly fond of pets, but he despised animal cruelty all the same.

Years on the force had shown him that many violent offenders had histories of torturing animals. Cat abusers were rampant, and their twisted psyches were often laid bare in their actions.

It wasn’t an overstatement to say that those who found joy in hurting animals were potential murderers.

With no animal welfare laws in place, these monsters roamed free, and their actions were oft by like– minded individuals online.

“The department is prioritizing this case. I’ll make sure we look into what you’ve said.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up with Newman, Winnie faced the storm she’d stirred up with her revelation. She retweeted her original post, adding a clarifying note. “A cat’s life, a dog’s life, they’re all lives.”

The internet exploded again.

“OMG. Don’t leave us hanging like that. I thought we had another psycho on the loose.”

“Can you tweet it out once and for all?”

“Look at you guys, all shocked. I knew it wasn’t a person. If it was, Winnie would have tagged the Emerald Bay PD straight away.”

“Speaking of which, I think everyone else already tagged them a billion times.”

“Doesn’t the life of a pet matter to anyone?”

“To be honest, I’m not surprised that someone who’d attack a child in cold blood would enjoy torturing animals in his past.”

“I’m so angry, and why are there so many cat–torturing maniacs out there?”

There was that 17–year–old who tortured cats, and his family not only didn’t stop him but also brought home animals under the guise of adoption for him to kill. A whole family of psychos.”

saw that too. That family is beyond evil. I can’t even bear to look at what happened to that poor cat.”

The conversation around animal cruelty was raging, yet nobody doubted Winnie’s words, not after the revelations from the kindergarten field trip.

As the internet called for justice, the Emerald Bay PD issued a detailed statement.

It outlined the suspect’s basic info and his twisted rationale for the crime.

Lyndon claimed he lashed out in pain after his girlfriend dumped him, missed her flight at the airport due to traffic, and, seeing a bunch of kids happily disembarking from a bus, acted on impulse.

The internet almost laughed.

“Did Lyndon take us for fools? A knife to win back his girlfriend? More like to force her to stay, right?”

“Don’t say that. What if he was planning a premeditated murder?”

“He couldn’t get through security with a knife, so he stayed outside, right?”

“OMG. Those kids were just happy to be on a field trip. What did they ever do to him?”

“Definitely a psycho.”

“This guy needs to be locked away.”

“This is attempted murder, right? Can any legal eagles tell me how many years that gets?”

The debate was raging when another long tweet caught everyone’s attention.

*Just landed and saw the news. After a lot of thought, I decided to speak up. Hi everyone, I’m the ex– girlfriend Lyndon mentioned, but I broke up with him because I discovered he was adopting cats only to torture them.”

The ex–girlfriend revealed that she had stumbled upon hundreds of videos on Lyndon’s computer showing

his sadistic acts.

Just as Winnie had said, he was a sadist who reveled in cruelty.

She had left him and the city to escape his threats and harassment, never expecting him to go after children. The fear was palpable in her words, and if she had delayed, she might have been his next victim. At the end of her tweet, she urged the police to detain Lyndon, suspecting he had a mental illness.

After reading her story and the public response, a new concern arose.

If Lyndon was indeed mentally ill, the case could take a turn. The law was lenient on mentally ill offenders

committing murder.

“It was already an attempted murder case. If he’s deemed mentally ill, he could walk free.”

“Please, don’t scare me like that.”

“This explains why he dared to act at the airport and wasn’t worried about being caught because he knew

be bad an out.”

Tve got some bad news to break to you, and animal cruelty, like hurting cats and dogs, isn’t something you can easily get charged for here. But if the stories are true, it could actually be twisted into evidence that the guy’s got a screw loose. People who are cruel to animals over a long time might be showing signs of a mental disorder”

Holy smokes.”

Tm about to drop some serious swear words. Don’t even try to stop me.”

As the online community was buzzing with comments, one particular post cut through the noise and floored everyone scrolling through the drama.

“Get this, hot off the press. Just moments ago, Lyndon went and filed for a mental health evaluation.”
