Chapter 40: The Point of No Return
Mac stood in his home office at 3 AM, surrounded by documents, photographs, and strategic plans that represented twenty years of careful preparation. Marcus Webb sat across from him, both men looking like they'd aged a decade in the past week."Thompson knows," Marcus said without preamble. "Our sources confirm he's identified you as Mac Clement and connected you to the systematic attacks on his operations."Mac nodded grimly. He'd expected this moment to come eventually. "How much does he know?""Everything. Your real identity, your parents' murder, your control of Golden Enterprise, and most importantly..." Marcus paused, his expression troubled.

Chapter 41: First Attack
Mac stood in his penthouse at dawn, surrounded by monitors displaying real-time financial data that looked like a digital battlefield. Numbers cascaded down screens in red and green, each one representing millions of dollars and the livelihoods of thousands of people caught in the crossfire of his war against Harold Thompson."Phase one is complete," Marcus Webb reported, his voice carrying the exhaustion of someone who had worked through the night. "We've called in debts from seventeen companies in Thompson's network. Total immediate pressure: $340 million."Mac nodded, his eyes never leaving the screens showing Thompson Bank's stock price. It had opened down 23% and was falling steadily as automated trading systems reacted to the coordinated assault on the bank's business partners."What about the regulatory triggers?" Mac asked."FDA inspection teams are en route to three Thompson pharmaceutical subsidiaries. SEC has opened investigations into suspicious trading patterns at Thompso
