“My… my work…” Chen mumbled, his voice losing some of its manic edge.“Your work survives if you stop this,” Max pressed. “It dies with us if you don’t.”Tommy suddenly shouted, “Max, I’ve got a backdoor! It’s risky, but I think I can disable the sequence directly from the main power conduit! It’ll take a minute, but it’s our best shot!”“Do it, Tommy! Go!” Max ordered.Tommy sprinted out of the control room, heading towards the power conduit Bucky had targeted earlier.The timer was at 2:00.“He’s going to try and bypass it,” Chen said, a flicker of something in his eyes. “He won’t make it. My system is too complex.”“Then help him, Chen!” Max urged, his voice desperate. “Give us the direct override! Don’t let your life’s work be erased!”Chen hesitated, his gaze fixed on the countdown. His chest heaved. The thought of his grand plan, his entire life’s ambition, being reduced to ashes, seemed to weigh heavily on him.“The code…” Chen began, his voice hoarse. “It’s… a sequence based o
Chapter 291
Kim Min Jae stood in his private office, a sleek, minimalist space tucked away on a lower level of Victor Chen’s sprawling complex. The hum of the server racks from the main control room above usually provided a low, comforting thrum. Now, it was replaced by a chaotic symphony of alarms, shouts, and the distant crackle of gunfire.He had been monitoring the main channels, watching the raid unfold on a small, encrypted tablet. He saw the feed from the perimeter cameras go dark, one by one. He heard the frustrated shouts of their security teams, then the sudden, chilling silence. And then, the single, sharp crack of a gunshot.“No,” Kim whispered, his eyes wide, fixed on the tablet screen which now showed only static. “No, no, no.”A moment later, a high-pitched, piercing alarm blared through the entire complex, shaking the very foundations of his office. Red emergency lights flashed, painting the room in an ominous glow.“Self-destruct sequence initiated!” a robotic voice echoed over t

The tunnel was exactly as he remembered it: narrow, concrete-lined, and dimly lit by emergency glow-strips embedded in the ceiling. It sloped downwards, deeper into the earth, away from the main complex. This wasn’t just a simple escape route; it was an old service tunnel, a forgotten relic from the city’s early infrastructure, repurposed and reinforced by Chen’s engineers. It led to a series of abandoned sewer lines, eventually connecting to a storm drain that emptied out into the industrial district, miles away.Kim moved quickly, his footsteps echoing softly in the confined space. The air was heavy and damp, a stark contrast to the sterile environment of the complex. He could still hear the faint thud of footsteps and distant voices from above, a constant reminder of the hunters closing in.“Stupid, arrogant fool,” Kim muttered to himself, thinking of Chen. “He thought he was untouchable. He thought he could play God with this city.”Kim had been drawn to Chen’s vision, initially.

Kim Min Jae could see the faint light at the end of the storm drain now. The exit. Freedom. He quickened his pace, a surge of adrenaline coursing through him. He was almost there. He had made it. He had outsmarted them all.He pushed through a final bend in the pipe, the light growing brighter. And then he stopped dead.Standing directly in his path, illuminated by the weak light filtering in from the outside, was Tommy Becker. Tommy stood with his feet apart, hands ready, a grim expression on his face. He held no weapon, but his posture radiated quiet confidence.Kim’s heart plummeted. “You,” he gasped, his voice catching in his throat.“Kim Min Jae,” Tommy said, his voice calm, almost conversational, despite the tense situation. “Going somewhere?”Kim’s mind raced. He was trapped. Behind him, the long, dark tunnel. Ahead, Tommy. He glanced at the pistol in his bag.“Get out of my way, Becker,” Kim snarled, trying to inject some authority into his voice. “You don’t want to do this.”

The air in the old storm drain was thick with the smell of damp earth and decay. Tommy Becker stood over Kim Min Jae, who lay on the grimy catwalk, his wrists bound tightly behind his back with zip-ties. Kim was panting, defeated, but a flicker of defiance still burned in his eyes. Bobby and his team were securing the area, their flashlights cutting through the gloom.“You’re lucky, Kim,” Tommy said, his voice low and dangerous. He nudged Kim with his foot, not hard enough to hurt, but enough to make a point. “Max wants you alive. For now.”Kim just glared, spitting a glob of phlegm onto the concrete near Tommy’s boot. “Go to hell, Becker.”Tommy’s jaw tightened. He leaned down, his face inches from Kim’s. “You think this is a game? You think you can just play with people’s lives, burn down a city, and walk away?”He reached down, grabbing a handful of Kim’s shirt, pulling him halfway up. “You messed with the wrong people, Kim. You messed with *our* people.”Kim coughed, struggling ag

Max took another step, his shadow falling over Kim. “Let’s talk about Sarai.”At the mention of his daughter’s name, Kim’s eyes hardened. “Leave her out of this. She has nothing to do with you.”“Doesn’t she?” Max challenged. “You put her in the middle of all of this, Kim. You used her. You pushed her into a life she didn’t want, all to serve your own twisted ambitions.”“I was trying to protect her!” Kim insisted, his voice laced with anger. “I was trying to give her a future! A future where she wouldn’t have to struggle, where she’d be respected!”“By forcing her to work for Chen?” Max scoffed. “By making her a pawn in your schemes? By constantly belittling her, telling her she wasn’t good enough unless she followed your path?”“She’s my daughter!” Kim shouted, pushing himself further against the wall. “She is my property! I have every right to guide her, to teach her what’s best!”Max’s eyes flashed with a cold fury. “Property? Is that what you think of your own child? A thing to b
Chapter 296
Max knelt down, bringing his face level with Kim’s. The flashlight beam illuminated Kim’s desperate, angry features.“Let me tell you something, Kim,” Max began, his voice low and steady. “You talk about power, about control, about legacy. But you’ve lost it all. Everything you thought you had, it’s gone.”Kim scoffed. “I’m still breathing, Max. And as long as I’m breathing, I’m a threat.”“You’re not a threat, Kim,” Max corrected him. “You’re a footnote. Chen’s empire is crumbling. All the networks you built, all the systems you designed, they’re being dismantled right now. Your name will be erased from every ledger, every database. You will become a ghost.”“You can’t erase me!” Kim yelled, his voice cracking with a sudden, raw fear.“Oh, but we can,” Max said, his voice devoid of emotion. “Your money, your influence, your reputation… it’s all gone. You have nothing left. No one to call, no place to go, no power to wield.”He paused, letting his words sink in. “And as for Sarai…” Ma
Chapter 297
The smell of ozone still hung heavy in the air, mixed with the faint metallic tang of blood and the acrid scent of burnt electronics. The warehouse, once a hive of illegal activity, was now a hollowed-out shell, its secrets meticulously stripped away. Max Lucky stood near a gaping hole in the wall, casually wiping his hands with a clean cloth. Beside him, Tommy Becker barked orders at a dozen of Max’s men, who were moving with practiced efficiency, loading debris into unmarked vans.“Alright, last of the server racks goes in that green one!” Tommy yelled, pointing. “Let’s move it! We don’t have all day.”Just as the last heavy piece of equipment was being hoisted, the distinct wail of sirens pierced the morning quiet. Not the local police, but something sharper, more urgent. Max glanced up, a faint, knowing smile playing on his lips.“Right on time,” he murmured, dropping the cloth.A convoy of black SUVs, federal crests clearly visible on their doors, screeched to a halt outside the

Gonzalez took a deep breath, trying to regain his composure. He knew Max was playing games, but he also knew Max was right. Without evidence, his hands were tied. He couldn’t just arrest Max for cleaning a warehouse.“This city is under federal jurisdiction, Lucky,” Gonzalez stated, his voice tight with controlled anger. “You can’t just run around like some kind of warlord, settling scores and then erasing the evidence.”“Warlord? That’s a bit dramatic, Agent,” Max said, shaking his head. “I’m simply ensuring the stability of my… interests. And the interests of the people who rely on me.”“The people who rely on you?” Gonzalez scoffed. “You mean the people you extort, the people you control, the people you force into your little network of crime!”Max’s eyes hardened slightly, the smile fading a fraction. “I provide order, Agent. Something your federal bureaucracy seems incapable of doing. When the local police are overwhelmed, when the systems fail, who do people turn to? Not to you,
Chapter 299
Gonzalez’s shoulders slumped slightly, not in defeat, but in utter frustration. He knew he was beaten for now. He had no evidence, no legal grounds to proceed. Max had outmaneuvered him, not just in the conflict with Chen, but in the subsequent cover-up.He turned to his team. “Alright, everyone. Pack it up. There’s nothing here.”A collective sigh of disappointment went through the federal agents. They had hoped to finally corner Max Lucky, to bring down his entire operation. Instead, they were leaving empty-handed.“Sir, are you sure?” Agent Miller asked, her voice low. “We could try to find witnesses, lean on some of his contacts…”“And what would that get us, Miller?” Gonzalez snapped, his anger resurfacing. “More dead ends? More people with convenient memory loss? He’s too good, too entrenched. He’s got this city locked down tight.”He glared at Max one last time. “You may have won this skirmish, Lucky. But this war is far from over. I’ll be back. And next time, I’ll be ready for
