Chapter 164: Dead Or Alive?
"Its subsidiaries operate across multiple continents. Its legal department employs hundreds of attorneys, and its intellectual property division alone has successfully shut down dozens of companies over trademark violations." She looked directly at Claire. "No one would survive naming another corporation 'Archer.'""This is insane." A quiet voice echoed from the back, and everyone turned to the direction of the voice. Senior Investigator Daniel slowly stood from his chair. His expression carried genuine disbelief. “I've spent two years investigating Archer Corporation, and I've never heard the name Ryan Wright." He looked toward Ryan's photograph.Angelina nodded. "Neither had anyone else." She pointed toward Ryan's photograph. "Billion-dollar corporations don't suddenly reveal hidden heirs overnight."Claire crossed her arms tighter. "Then where did he come from?" The question echoed softly through the room.Angelina looked at every detective gathered before her. Without saying anoth
Chapter 163: Investigation Board
Silence settled over the investigation room like a heavy blanket. The projector continued to cast a pale blue glow across the walls, illuminating the dozens of photographs, maps, and evidence strings pinned to the inch of space. The detectives looked at one another before returning their attention to the woman standing at the front of the room. Only twenty minutes had passed since she officially took over as lead investigator, yet the atmosphere had undergone a complete transformation. No one dared question her authority, but what they questioned was the name she had just spoken. Kevin finally broke the silence, clearing his throat before folding his arms. "Excuse me, Ma'am, should that name mean something?" Angelina slowly shifted her attention toward him, and the room immediately became still again. Several detectives nodded subtly, as the same question was running through every mind. Angelina studied their faces one after another, confirming the background check she had run o
Chapter 162: Angelina Gomez
Outside the front entrance of the new city police headquarters, vehicles rolled through the gates one after another, with their tires hissing against the rain-soaked pavement. Men and women in uniform lingered about while detectives carried briefcases and files, leaving civilians waiting impatiently at the reception desk. A pair of officers escorted a handcuffed suspect through the lobby who was arguing loudly over traffic citations. "I didn't do anything, man! Let me go!" the man shouted, struggling against the grip on his arms. "You arrested the wrong person!" Added."Save it for your lawyer," one of the officers replied without slowing his pace as they dragged the man through the entrance, leaving the heavy glass doors slid shut behind them, swallowing the protest as another group entered the station.Inside the station, phones rang, their sound amplified by the noise of the printer and radio, which echoed dispatch reports.The station was alive with the ordinary rhythm of law en
Chapter 161: Intensions ii
Olisa didn't hesitate as her features instantly turned serious. "What are your plans?"Ryan lowered the bottle. "My plans?""For this academy." Her voice echoed through the small dorm room. She stared directly into his eyes. "You spent sixty million dollars acquiring Iron Gate Academy; no one spends that kind of money without expecting something in return."Ryan remained silent, and then she continued."So what do you want?"Ryan leaned against the desk, a small desk. "You're assuming I want something.""I know you do; I know people, and everyone, including you, has an ulterior motive,” she said, stepping closer. "Nothing in this world comes for free, so what is your endgame”Ryan studied her expression, and the genuine curiosity masking her face made him let out a short sigh. After everything that had been revealed I didn't blame her if she wanted to know whether the academy had escaped one danger only to enter another."I read every page of your proposal." She unfolded her arms. "Yo
Chapter 160: Intentions
The academy dorm buzzed with morning activity, and from across the council building, students hurried between other sectors of the academy, with bags slung over their shoulders. Instructors, on the other hand, crossed the stone walkways carrying stacks of reports from yesterday's tournament.According to the calendar, the school has transitioned to an academy schedule, concluding the physical training session.

Chapter 159: A Nobody!
The room had become completely silent. Next, even the women stopped moving. Nikolai finally lowered his glass with a little frown crossing his face. He hated being disturbed, especially by someone else's matters.His expression darkened, and he narrowed his gaze to the man. "Mr. Vink,” he called, but the lawyer didn't respond."Mr. Vink!” He repeated, and this time his voice carried authority, making the lawyer finally look up. His eyes were already fear-filled."Is there a problem?" Nikolai frowned; he hated seeing people cry, as that to him was considered weakness.Mr. Vink slowly lowered the phone, and his lips parted, but nothing came out."Answer me!” Nikolaia's voice reverberated, silencing every movement. The businessmen across the room exchanged uneasy glances. And whatever had frightened their normally composed lawyer couldn't be good.Mr. Vink swallowed, feeling the tightness in his throat. "I…It's Iron Gate Academy,” he responded, and whatever trace of a smile that lingered
