Rain continued to fall over the mountains as Vincent Moreau sat alone inside the abandoned cabin.The fireplace crackled quietly.Spread across the table were maps, bank records, photographs, and several passports.Vincent had lost Black Horizon.He had lost the protection of the Shadow Council.But he had not lost his determination.He opened the folder marked Operation Phoenix.Inside was a detailed plan that had been prepared years ago.Three hidden companies.Four secret bank accounts.Seven warehouses.And one final location that caught Vincent's attention.Hanseong Motors Research Center.Vincent smiled."That's where I'll begin."---Meanwhile, at Haven Estate, Ethan was reviewing the information recovered from Adrian's USB drive.Victor stood beside him."We've identified most of Vincent's remaining financial connections."Ethan nodded."Good.""But there's something strange."Victor placed another document on the table."Someone recently transferred a large amount of money fr

The name Marcus Vale remained on the screen.Nobody in the room spoke.Ethan stared at the old photograph."Are you certain this is him?"Grace nodded."I've seen his picture in Vincent's private files."Victor leaned closer to the screen."But Marcus Vale disappeared twenty years ago."Judge Daniel Cho folded his arms."Not disappeared.""Officially, he was declared dead."Ethan looked at him."Officially?"Judge Cho nodded."There was never a body."The room became silent again.Alexander frowned."Then there's a possibility...""He's alive."---Ethan immediately ordered a complete investigation into Marcus Vale.Within hours, Victor's team uncovered dozens of old records.Marcus Vale had founded Phoenix Holdings when he was only thirty-two.The company had grown rapidly.Then, twenty years ago, everything collapsed.His business partners disappeared.His companies were dissolved.And Marcus himself vanished.But one detail stood out.Three months before his disappearance, Marcus h
