The NIS director sat at his desk, a deep frown etched on his face as he read through the latest report on the plane crash. His phone rang, and he picked it up with a sense of urgency. "Get me Lucas on the line," he ordered his secretary, his voice firm and commanding. A few minutes later, Lucas was connected to the call, his expression a mix of confusion and concern. The director motioned for him to take a seat, his eyes fixed on Lucas. "Lucas, I need to ask you some questions about your father," the director began, his tone serious. Lucas nodded, his mind racing with a million thoughts. "I'll do my best to answer," he replied, his voice steady despite the turmoil within him. The director leaned forward, his gaze unwavering. "We have reason to believe that your father may have been involved in the plane crash. Do you have any information that could help us understand his possible motives or involvement?" Lucas's eyes widened in shock, and he struggled to process the weight of th
Chapter 122: Confrontation in the Mind
Lucas Bryan arrived at the NIS building just minutes after James had left. He made his way down the familiar corridors to the director's office, a sense of anticipation building within him. As he entered, he greeted the director with a warm smile, but the response he received was a cold one. Brushing it aside, Lucas took a seat and waited for the director's investigation to begin."Good afternoon, Director," Lucas said, trying to break the tension in the room.The director looked up from his desk, his expression unreadable. "Lucas," he replied curtly.Lucas shifted uncomfortably in his seat, feeling the weight of the director's gaze. He knew that this investigation was not going to be an easy one. The silence in the room was palpable, broken only by the sound of papers shuffling on the director's desk.Finally, the director spoke, his voice as cold as ice. "I trust you understand the seriousness of the situation, Lucas."Lucas nodded, trying to maintain his composure. "Yes, director.
Chapter 123: In the Garden
Lucas's unease continued to gnaw at him as he looked at his uncle, James, searching for any sign of reassurance. "Uncle James, I need to know what your plan is in all of this. I can't shake the feeling that there's more going on than we realize."James paused, his expression softening as he regarded Lucas with a mixture of concern and understanding. "Lucas, I'm here to support you every step of the way. But I think it's best if we keep our investigation on the low for now."Lucas furrowed his brow, a tinge of frustration creeping into his voice. "On the low? But Uncle James, we can't afford to be passive about this. There's too much at stake."James placed a reassuring hand on Lucas's shoulder, his voice calm but firm. "I understand your urgency, Lucas, but we need to be cautious. We don't know who we can trust right now. We have to be strategic about our next moves."Lucas nodded reluctantly, understanding the wisdom in his uncle's words. "I get it, Uncle James. It's just hard not to
Chapter 124: High Stake For Investigation
“Is he dead?” Lucas asked as he and Rickard looked at the hanging man, whose blood dripped slowly, staining the tiled floor. Lucas walked to where the mystery man hanged, trying to recognize his face, he couldn't because he hadn't seen the man anywhere.As Rickard nudged him, "Lucas, look," he said.Lucas turned to see what he was pointing at. On the wall, in bold red letters, were the words "Stop the investigation. The airplane crash, it's all your fault he died." Lucas's heart raced as he realized the gravity of the message. He looked closely at Rickard, who seemed shaken and distressed."Lucas, we need to call 911 and the police," Rickard said urgently, his voice trembling.Lucas nodded, his mind racing with questions and fear. He quickly dialed 911 and reported the message on the wall, requesting immediate police assistance.As they waited for the authorities to arrive, Rickard paced back and forth, his hands shaking.

Chapter 125: A Somber Investigation
Rickard drove, his eyes darting between the road and the man in black, who was now sprinting ahead. "What's going on, Lucas?" Rickard asked, his voice urgent.Lucas's gaze remained fixed on the man as he replied, "I've seen that guy many times. He's been hanging around the office, I think he might be involved in all of this somehow."Rickard's jaw tightened as he focused on tailing the mysterious figure. "We can't let him get away. We need to find out who he is and what he's up to," he said, determination lacing his words.The tension in the car was palpable as Rickard expertly maneuvered through traffic, never losing sight of the man in black. Lucas's eyes remained trained on their target, his mind racing with who the man might be.The man dressed in black turned to see the car almost catching up, he didn't notice the vehicle coming from the side. With a sickening crunch, it rammed into him, sending him sprawling to the ground. The screech of tires filled the air as the car skidded t
Chapter 126: Mix of Shock
Lucas spun around to see James, his expression a mix of shock and confusion. How did James know he was with the chief of police? The chief sat in his office, a crooked smile playing on his lips as he looked at James, understanding what he was to do next. Turning to Lucas,"Mr. Bryan, you can go, sir. It's very obvious that you're not involved in all this ruckus. Just put your fingerprint on the scanner and you can leave," the chief instructed."We will put our hearts into finding the criminal responsible."Lucas hesitated, his mind racing. How did James know of the incident? And why was the chief suddenly letting him go? With a sense of unease, Lucas placed his finger on the scanner, the machine beeping as it registered his fingerprint. The chief looked at James, who winked back at him; he was to give a fake apology to ease tensions.Lucas stood in the chief's office. The chief cleared his throat and spoke, "Lucas, I owe you an apology. It seems we had the wrong information about your
Chapter 127: A Sense of Urgency
Flint's eyes blazed with anger as he glared at his sister, a tense silence hanging between them. Alex shot her a warning look, urging her to keep quiet to avoid Lucas overhearing their conversation. "Shut up, Sonya," he hissed through clenched teeth, his voice low and urgent. "Go back to your room."Just as Sonya reluctantly turned to leave, a door creaked open, and Rickard emerged from Lucas's room, his phone pressed to his ear. With a practiced ease, he feigned a casual conversation, exchanging pleasantries with the twins as he made his way past them. "Yes, of course, we'll discuss the details later," he said smoothly into the phone, nodding politely at Flint and Alex.As Rickard left the hallway, the twins exchanged a quick, wary glance before turning their attention back to the task at hand. The air crackled with tension as they both knew they were walking on thin ice. The urgency of the situation hung heavy in the air, and they knew they had to tread carefully to avoid any misste
Chapter 128: Gravity of the Situation
Lucas's heart raced as he scrolled through the file on his phone. The numbers and names on the screen seemed unreal, as if they belonged to a different world. He sank into his office chair, feeling the weight of the shocking revelation. How could this be happening?With trembling fingers, he dialed Rickard's number, his mind still reeling from the discovery. Rickard answered the call, his voice strained from trying to pacify the agitated executives in Lucas's absence."Lucas, when will you be back?" Rickard's voice crackled through the phone.Lucas took a deep breath, trying to steady himself before speaking. "Rickard, I need you to round up the meeting and apologize to the executives. I won't be able to hold the meeting anytime soon."There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line before Rickard responded, "What's going on, Lucas? Is everything okay?"Lucas struggled to find the right words to explain the situation. "I... I can't talk about it right now. Just tell them I'

Lucas's heart pounded in his chest as he sat in his car, the weight of the mystery man's words hanging heavily in the air. He couldn't shake the feeling of unease as he tried to piece together the puzzle of who this enigmatic figure might be. Suddenly, the shrill ring of the burner phone shattered the silence, jolting Lucas back to the present. With a deep breath, he answered the call, the mystery man's voice cutting through the line, instructing him to come inside.Lucas's grip tightened on the phone as he ended the call, his mind racing with fear.
