Caleb set his mug down on the window sill. His face was completely calm while his dead eyes lock onto Valerie standing near the rear transport."Don't bring your weapons Thomas," Caleb commanded softly, his voice full of razor-sharp confidence. "Just bring my coat.""You're going down there alone, that's dangerous Boss?" Thomas asked in shock."I'm not going down to fight them, Thomas," Caleb replied, a dry spark of wit touching his eyes. "I'm going down to audit them."...Caleb stepped out onto the front porch of CAL Capital Headquarters, wearing his coat over his shirt.He stood tall at the top of the wooden steps with his hands in his pockets while looking down at the twenty armored enforcers standing in the yard.When Valerie saw Caleb step onto the porch, her sharp eyes widened slightly.She had read his file. She knew he was supposed to be a dying broken beggar left in the mud. But the man standing on the porch looked healthy, powerful and completely fearless... standing before

The entire market lane went completely quiet.The district workers stepped forward picking up the fallen electric batons and iron shields, completely disarming the twenty corporate enforcers.Captain Philip lay in the dirt gasping for air while his men were stripped of their gear under Thomas's strict supervision.Valerie stood near her car, her pad resting quietly at her side. She didn't run nor reach for a weapon. She simply stared at Caleb in absolute profound awe.Caleb stepped off Philip's chest then walk calmly toward Valerie.He stopped two feet away from her, looking at her sharp intelligent face."You're not going to call for upper-district reinforcements," Caleb said softly, his voice dropping into a private, calm tone.Valerie looked up into his eyes, her voice steady despite the chaos around her. "And why wouldn't I? I am Chairman Vane's Chief Auditor."A sharp spark of wit touched Caleb's dark eyes."Because Broker Vane destroyed your father's accounting firm five years

"Metal, Boss," Thomas explained, his grin fading into a serious frown. "Jurl's forge and our construction teams are out of raw structural iron. The local scrap piles are completely cleared. If we want to build the new trade market in Block Six, we need raw pig iron and heavy steel plates from the Eastern Iron Sinks.""And who controls the Iron Sinks?" Caleb asked."A regional cartel boss named Titus," Thomas replied, shaking his head. "Titus owns all four smelting furnaces in Block Six. He charges four hundred percent markup on iron to independent builders, and if anyone tries to buy iron from outside suppliers, his hammers will burn their carts."[PING!]The golden system light flared to life in Caleb's vision, illuminating the morning air in brilliant gold text.========================================= CAL CAPITAL MISSION LOG[DIFFICULTY RATING: HIGH][MISSION GENERATED: THE IRON FOUNDRY][Task: Infiltrate the Eastern Iron Sinks in Block Six, break Titus's raw metal monopoly and es

Caleb stepped down from the truck cab wiping his dusty hands on a rag. He walked calmly toward the crane platform, his hands resting in his coat pockets."I'm not here to pay a yard tax Titus," Caleb said, his voice bold, calm and clear. "I'm here to buy ten tons of raw pig iron and forty structural steel plates."Titus burst out laughing... a rough booming sound that echoed off the high brick smokestacks.His six armed enforcers joined in, laughing mockingly at Caleb's plain shirt."Ten tons of pig iron?" Titus chuckled, leaning over the iron railing. "Boy, raw iron is sixty dollars a ton at my furnaces. Plus my hundred-percent processing fee, plus my regional transport surcharge. That's two thousand dollars flat. Cash up front, or get your wooden rig out of my sight."Thomas stepped up beside Caleb, his forehead sweating. "Two thousand dollars?! Boss, that's four times the foundry price in the upper districts!"Caleb looked straight up into Titus's small eyes and a confident spark o

"My name is Caleb. I want you to take this three hundred dollars. Go to the municipal registry office in Block Five and renew Lease Number 402 under the name of the CAL Capital Working Guild."Corbin took the three hundred dollars in his grease-stained hands, tears of pure joy filling his eyes. "Yes, Boss! Right away, Boss!"Caleb turned his cold eyes back to Titus."Your monopoly is broken Titus," Caleb said, his voice dropping into a razor-sharp whisper that made Titus's knees shake. "You have five minutes to take your personal clothes and get out of my foundry. If I find you on Guild territory after dawn, I will audit your illegal tax books and hand you over to the central magistrate."Titus dropped his iron wrench onto the platform with a loud clatter.He didn't say a single word. He scrambled down the crane stairs, tripped over his own boots in the coal dust and bolted out the main gate as fast as his legs could carry him, leaving his six enforcers behind!The hundred foundry wor

The night was quiet over Plot 01, but inside the third-floor Chairman office, the fireplace crackled with a soft warm glow.Caleb stood by the window for a few moments longer, watching the embers die out in the hearth.Down the hallway, the light was still on under the kitchen door.Caleb walked down the quiet corridor, pushing the wooden door open.Nora was sitting at the table, sewing a warm woolen collar onto Leo’s coat.Across from her, Thomas was sitting with a pencil behind his ear, staring at a hand-drawn map of the Southern Sector's canal network.Lily was fast asleep on a small bench near the hearth, wrapped in a thick wool blanket, her thumb resting near her mouth.When the door clicked open, Thomas looked up, setting his pencil down. "Boss. You saw the telegraph?""I saw it," Caleb said, walking over to the table and pulling out a wooden chair. "Broker Vane sent three iron gunboats to lock down the main canal bridge at dawn. A mercenary named Captain Marek is commanding the

Caleb stood at the edge of the pier, wearing his canvas coat over his shirt.Beside him stood Captain Brimley... a veteran riverman with a thick white beard, a weathered blue coat and a brass spyglass tucked into his belt. Brimley had worked the canal for thirty years before Vane's syndicates forced him out of work.Brimley ran his rough hand over the four-inch steel plating on the barge's bow, letting out a low appreciative whistle."My God," Brimley said, his voice deep and raspy from salt air. "I've navigated this river for thirty years now, and I've never seen an industrial barge plated like a battleship. She'll slice through Marek's wooden hulls like a hot knife through lard.""We're not here to sink his ships," Caleb said smoothly, looking out into the river mist. "If we sink his ships, we pollute the canal and ruin the trade route. We're going to disable his engines, disarm his mercenaries and capture those three gunboats intact."Brimley turned his head, staring at Caleb in t

Dorn frantically pulled the release lever on the forward harpoon cannon![THWACK!]A four-foot steel harpoon attached to a thick iron chain shot through the air, slamming directly into the steel bow of The Iron Titan![CLANG!]The steel point struck the four-inch pig iron plating, sparks flying wildly, but the point bounced off the hardened surface like a toy nail plunging harmlessly into the river water!The Iron Titan didn't slow down by a single knot!Caleb stood at the very point of the barge's bow, his coat flapping in the wind, his dead eyes fixed on Marek's face."Brace for impact!" Captain Brimley yelled from the tiller wheel![BOOM!]The steel bow of The Iron Titan slammed directly into the side armor of The Vane's Blade!The massive collision shook the river!The iron flagship groaned violently, tilting twenty degrees to the side as water splashed thirty feet into the air!Marek and six of his mercenaries were thrown off their feet, tumbling across the slick iron deck like w

Harrow walked up to the edge of the pier, his worn hat held tightly in his hands. "Yes, Boss Caleb?""You and every river loader on these docks have worked for pennies under Vane's syndicates," Caleb said, his voice ringing out clearly across the water. "Starting today, the canal docks are under CAL Capital protection."Caleb reached down, handing a stack of clean bills directly to Harrow."Here is four thousand dollars cash from the CAL Capital reserve," Caleb stated boldly. "Every one of these two hundred dock workers is officially registered into the CAL Capital Working Guild today. Each man receives a twenty-dollar sign-on bonus and a fixed daily wage of ten dollars."Harrow stared at the thick stack of bills in his trembling hands, tears spilling over his weathered cheeks."Twenty dollars sign-on bonus?!" Harrow cried out, his voice cracking with emotion. "Boss... that's two months' wages for just signing our names!"The two hundred dock workers fell to their knees on the wooden
