Meanwhile, the police convoy screeched to a stop outside the warehouse."Move! Surround the building!"Dozens of armed officers poured out of their vehicles with rifles raised.The warehouse doors were kicked open."Police!""Nobody move!"Panic instantly erupted inside the factory.The workers who had been packaging drugs only moments earlier dropped everything and tried to flee in different directions."Stop!"Several officers rushed after them. Within minutes, every worker had been pinned to the ground and handcuffed.The officers quickly spread throughout the building, searching every room.One officer walked into Lawrence's office and froze."What happened here?"The room looked like a battlefield. Broken tables. Shattered glass.Splintered cabinets.And scattered across the floor were several unconscious bodyguards with swollen faces and broken limbs.Another officer bent down to examine one of them."He's still alive. So are the others."The inspector in charge frowned."Who di

Immediately those words left Mrs. Raymond's mouth, the atmosphere inside the living room became suffocating.Panic spread across every member of the Raymond family.Mrs. Raymond was the first to break."What are we going to do?" she cried, her voice trembling. "If they take this mansion, we'll have nowhere to go. We'll end up living on the streets."Fresh tears rolled down her cheeks."People will laugh at us. They'll mock our family. How are we supposed to face anyone ever again?"She looked completely shattered.To most people, losing a house was heartbreaking.To Mrs. Raymond, whose dignity and reputation meant everything, the humiliation was almost unbearable.Mr. Raymond wasn't faring any better.The once-successful businessman slowly lowered his head and covered his eyes with two trembling fingers.He looked utterly defeated. Both as a husband, as a father and as the head of the Raymond family...He believed it was his responsibility to protect his wife and daughter. He should h

After Kevin stumbled out of the mansion, holding his swollen face and muttering threats under his breath, a heavy silence settled over the living room.No one spoke for several long seconds.Then Mrs. Raymond suddenly grabbed Darren by the arm. "Darren, you have to leave." Her voice trembled so badly that she almost burst into tears. "Please... you have to go now."Mr. Raymond nodded in agreement."Kevin will definitely come back, and he won't come alone. He'll bring Joseph with him."Alicia stepped closer, her beautiful face filled with worry."They won't forgive what you did to him. Please don't stay here. We don't want you getting hurt because of us."Darren looked at each of them before speaking in an unusually calm voice."I'm not going anywhere."The three Raymonds stared at him.Mrs. Raymond blinked repeatedly, thinking she had heard him wrongly."What?"Darren sat on the couch comfortably as though nothing unusual had happened."I said I'm not leaving."Mr. Raymond frowned de

Without taking even a split second to think about it, Darren nodded calmly."Deal."His answer came so quickly that it caught everyone by surprise.Joseph stared at him for a moment before a cruel smile slowly spread across his face. He was convinced Darren was bluffing. There was no way a man who had lost everything two weeks ago could produce one point seven billion dollars.To Joseph, Darren had just walked straight into his own grave."Very well." Joseph folded his arms and looked at Darren mockingly. "So tell me... how exactly would you like to pay?"He deliberately paused before continuing."Cash? Or bank transfer?" Then he chuckled sarcastically. "Or perhaps you'll pay me with stories instead?"The room erupted with laughter."Hahaha!""I knew he was bluffing!""Boss, this fool has completely lost his mind!"Kevin laughed louder than anyone. He reached over and snatched a baseball bat from one of Joseph's men before tapping it viciously against his palm.He slowly walked towar

Darren frowned slightly as he walked down the quiet street. The system had just said that an important piece of information had been unlocked.He waited. For several long seconds, the mechanical voice remained silent.Finally, it spoke.[The important information concerns the man at Lawrence basement wearing a black coat.]Darren's footsteps slowly came to a stop."The man in the black coat?"His eyes narrowed as the memory immediately returned.Yesterday, during the operation at Lawrence's secret drug factory, another man had been inside the office.A man dressed in a long black coat. A round black hat had covered most of his face, making it impossible to recognize him.The man had calmly purchased a large shipment of drugs before Lawrence's guards discovered Darren.Then, when the police arrived, he had simply disappeared. Not escaped, but vanished without a trace. Darren still couldn't understand how it had happened. There had been no open door, no broken window, and not even the s
