				Chapter 31: The Chief Arrives
			
Darius lowered his phone slowly, his eyes never leaving Raymond Miller's face. When he spoke, his voice was quiet but carried the weight of absolute certainty."Deputy Chief Miller, you just heard Noah Petterson openly admit to organ trafficking. To purchasing human beings for the purpose of harvesting their organs. To being complicit in the murder of members of my family. And you're telling me you heard nothing?"Raymond's expression didn't flicker. "I heard a lot of wild accusations from an intruder who violently broke into private property. As for jurisdiction, organ transplant procedures are handled by federal medical boards, not local police. If there were any irregularities—which I'm not saying there are—it would need to be reported through proper channels.""Proper channels," Darius repeated, his voice taking on an edge like broken glass. "The same proper channels that you control? The same system you've corrupted?""Careful, Mr. Kane," Raymond warned. "Adding slander of a poli
				Chapter 32: Lower your weapons
			
The new voice cut through the courtyard like a thunderclap—loud, authoritative, and absolutely furious.Every head turned toward the entrance. A man strode into the courtyard with the bearing of someone who commanded absolute authority. He was perhaps fifty-five, gray-haired, wearing a police uniform with insignia that made Raymond Miller's rank look insignificant.Chief Marcus Davidson. Head of the entire Duskfort Police Department.Raymond's face went white as fresh snow. "C-Chief Davidson? What are you doing here? I thought you were in the capital for—""What am I DOING here?" Marcus's voice rose to a roar. "I'm here because I got an emergency call about my deputy chief orchestrating an illegal arrest on behalf of a family under federal investigation!""Federal investigation?" Noah's confident smile faltered slightly. "I don't know what you're talking about. There's no—""SHUT UP!" Marcus rounded on him with barely contained fury. "You don't speak unless I tell you to speak!"He tu

The police officers had just begun lowering their weapons when a new voice rang out from the estate's entrance—confident, commanding, and dripping with political authority."What in God's name is going on here?"Every head turned.A man strode into the courtyard with the bearing of someone who'd spent decades wielding power.He was perhaps sixty, silver-haired, impeccably dressed in a tailored suit despite the late hour. Everything about him screamed influence and connections.Nicholas Petterson—Nick to those who knew him—Noah's uncle and one of Duskfort's most powerful city councilmen.He'd served three terms, had connections spanning the entire state government, and was widely considered untouchable.Noah's face transformed instantly from barely concealed panic to triumphant relief. "Uncle Nick! Thank God you're here! These criminals broke into our estate and—""I can see what happened," Nick interrupted, his eyes sweeping across the scene with cold assessment. He fixed Chief Marcus
				Chapter 34: WAR GOD
			
The officers looked between Nick, Raymond, and Marcus—three sources of authority all saying different things. Several of them began raising their weapons again, deciding that the councilman's power outweighed the chief's orders.Marcus opened his mouth to countermand the order, to explain about the federal warrants, to somehow salvage the situation—Then the sound of heavy vehicles rumbling through the estate gates made everyone freeze.Not police cars. Not civilian vehicles.Military transport trucks. At least five of them, their engines growling like caged beasts. They screeched to a halt just outside the courtyard, and before anyone could react, soldiers began pouring out—not a dozen, not twenty, but what looked like an entire company of fully armed military personnel.They moved with the precision of elite units, forming defensive positions with practiced efficiency. Every soldier was in full combat gear, carrying assault rifles, wearing body armor. These weren't National Guard re

The courtyard remained frozen in stunned silence. Major General Thomas Harrison still knelt before Darius, his head bowed in respect and apology.Behind him, over a hundred elite soldiers stood at attention, weapons ready, creating an impenetrable wall of military might.Darius reached down and placed a hand on the general's shoulder. "Stand up, Douglas. You're not late. You're exactly on time."Douglas—Thomas Harrison's given name, used only by those who'd earned the right—rose to his feet, relief washing over his features. "Thank you, War God. When I received your call, I mobilized every available unit. I commandeered military transport, bypassed every protocol—""I know," Darius said quietly. "And I appreciate it."Chief Marcus Davidson suddenly made sense to everyone watching. His earlier confidence, his defiance of Nick Petterson's political pressure—it all clicked into place now."Chief Davidson," Douglas addressed him formally, "I apologize for the urgency of my orders. When th

He stepped closer to Noah, looking down at the pathetic figure groveling on the ground. "You called me a stray dog. You called me trash. You thought I was powerless. And all the while, you had no idea you were mocking the one man in this country who could destroy you with a single phone call.""But—but we're A-ranked!" Noah's voice was desperate now. "We have connections! We have—""Had," Darius corrected. "Past tense. By morning, the Petterson name will be synonymous with criminal. Your assets will be frozen. Your businesses will be seized. Your family will be scattered to the winds."Nick Petterson finally found his voice, though it came out strangled and desperate. "You're making a mistake! The Petterson family doesn't operate alone! We have backers! Powerful families that support our operations! S-ranked families! If you move against us, they'll—""They'll what?" Darius's smile was colder than winter frost. "They'll admit to being complicit in organ trafficking? They'll reveal the

The small house felt even more cramped with four people inside, but Alessia didn't complain.She'd immediately taken to Aria and Emma, fussing over the younger girl like a mother hen, preparing warm soup and making sure she was comfortable on the worn couch."You're so kind," Emma said weakly, managing a genuine smile despite her ordeal. "Thank you for taking us in.""Don't be silly," Alessia replied, tucking a blanket around her. "Any friend of Young Master Darius is family. Besides, you've been through something terrible. The least I can do is make sure you're comfortable."Aria watched the interaction with grateful eyes. "Thank you, Alessia. We don't have a proper place to stay yet, and I didn't want to take Emma to a hotel in her condition.""You can stay as long as you need," Alessia assured her. "It's small, but it's yours."The two young women had taken to each other immediately—both had suffered, both had fought to protect what mattered, both understood what it meant to endure
				CHAPTER 38: KICK THEM OUT
			
Thomas's eyes went wide with terror. Up close, he could see something in Darius's eyes—something that promised violence beyond his comprehension."We're going! We're going!" Thomas squeaked.Darius released him, and Thomas stumbled backward into Linda. They both scrambled for the door like rats fleeing a sinking ship."This isn't over!" Linda shrieked from the doorway. "Trevor Mitchell's family won't be pleased! They'll—they'll—""They'll do nothing," Darius said calmly. "Because Alessia isn't interested. Now GO."The door slammed behind them, and their indignant muttering faded as they hurried away.Alessia collapsed into a chair, trembling with residual anger. "I hate them. I absolutely HATE them.""They're gone now," Aria said gently, placing a hand on her shoulder. "And they won't be back.""But they're right about one thing," Alessia said miserably, looking around the cramped, worn house. "I can't live like this forever. My father will need proper care when he returns from treatm
				CHAPTER 39: MANSION
			
Patricia Stevens was still calling for her manager when the main office doors opened and two men in expensive suits walked in, clearly in the middle of an important conversation."—and the infrastructure improvements should be completed by next quarter," the older man was saying. "The utility upgrades alone will add significant value to—"He stopped mid-sentence as his gaze swept the room and landed on Darius.John Cole's eyes widened with recognition, then something like panic. He immediately broke away from his companion and crossed the room in quick strides."War God!" John's voice was urgent and respectful. "I didn't know you were here! If I had known, I would have—"He stopped himself, clearly aware they were in a public space, but the damage was already done. Everyone in the sales office had heard him.Patricia's face had gone white as fresh snow.The man who'd entered with John—Tom Harrison, the primary developer of Riverside Heights and owner of Harrison Properties—took one lo

The car stopped at the checkpoint, and Thomas and Linda rushed over before Alessia could even process what was happening."Alessia!" Linda's voice was saccharine sweet now, all her earlier hostility evaporated. "Darling! We knew you'd come to your senses!""What?" Alessia looked confused."You're here to meet Trevor Mitchell!" Thomas beamed. "You changed your mind about the marriage proposal! Oh, this is WONDERFUL! We were just trying to get inside to arrange the meeting, but these guards—""I'm not here to meet anyone," Alessia said coldly. "We're moving into our new home."Thomas and Linda burst into laughter."YOUR new home?" Linda clutched her sides. "In RIVERSIDE HEIGHTS? Oh, that's RICH! Alessia, dear, stop joking! This development is for millionaires! For A-ranked families! Not for broke little girls living in hovels!""She's telling the truth," Darius said calmly, holding up a key card and entry pass. "Villa Number 001."The laughter died instantly. Thomas and Linda stared at
