Caiden turned towards them, saying slowly. “I live here.”
Before Caiden knew, the neighbors had all begun to come out one by one. Someone looked familiar in the midst of the crowd. He stopped to look deeper.
Dr. Mark. His rival from the hospital. He came from a very wealthy family and was one of Maelie’s close friends.
“Heyy, look at me before I smash this button on your head!” The man yelled with fury. “I'm talking to you and you're looking elsewhere.”
One of his men came from the back, tapping his shoulders. “Don't worry, don't shout too much Chiefman….I'll deal with him and then began advancing towards Caiden.”
“Who sent you or you sent yourself?” The second man growled, raising his hand to strike Caiden who rushed his hand up in reflex.
“Calm please! Let me talk.”
“What do you want to say? This Block belongs to the world's richest and you're here for…”
“I live in the King’s block.”
Immediately he said this, the neighbors roared in laughter. “You? Such a bold impersonator?”
“How?” Caiden ached his brow.
Chiefman lunged forth and grabbed his neck. “Who are you? Talk now before we break your head and legs. Of all blocks and estates, you chose here for burglary?”
The case was escalating. Caiden’s men weren't close and their phones must have been submitted as they were in intense preparation for the Auction tonight. He had asked Michael to go. He was here alone.
If he doesn't stand up for himself, these men will definitely deal with him. He put off the calm demeanor as it wasn't helping.
“Will you get off me now?”
Chiefman edged his brows, brandishing his baton. His group froze briefly before bursting into laughter. The jovial moment before disaster.
“Ha! Did this pretty boy just tell me, Chiefman, to leave? What a joke. You’ve been watching too many superhero movies. Trying to act like some hero, huh?”
“Boss, why waste time? Let’s just deal with him!” one of the thugs shouted as he swung a steel pipe towards Caiden’s head. Others were definitely going to join when a loud scream came.
“Heyyyyyyy! Stop!!! He's Dr. Howard.” The guard's hand froze midair.
“The doctor who helped my sister with her ectopic pregnancy years ago and my cousin deliver septuplets naturally.”’
“He's a genius.”
Everything stopped and everyone turned to look at who was speaking. Caiden raised his eyes slowly to see who had spoken for him, when Dr. Mark whom he knew personally silently watched.
To his greatest shock, he grabbed the woman. “You don't know him better than I do.” All eyes were redirected to Mark.
“News reaching me from his fiancee reveals he's been fired. Before a genius doctor like him can be fired, he must have committed a deadly crime.”
The woman narrowed her eyes in shock. Caiden was speechless.
“Don't defend who you don't know. He must have had that criminal spirit in him to come steal the moment he got sacked.”
“Let me prove it to you.” He picked up his phone and dialed some numbers.
“Let me call the daughter of the man who owns this block.”
“The billionaire heiress, the Chief Medical Director at Howard?” The neighbors are asked.
Dr. Mark grinned. Caiden stood still, watching everything unfold without a single flinch.
“Hello Maelie, guess where your ex is?” Suspense and anticipation rose in the air. He placed the phone on speaker, turning on the video function videoing Caiden.
“He came straight to your dad's block. Who knows what he came to do…”
A loud shout erupted from the phone causing the neighbors to gather. Seeing Maelie they believed Mark.
“I've been looking for him. Nevan’s men are gone in search of him. Let me quickly tell him.”
“Looking for him now?” Mark asked, curious.
“Yes, he stole my dad's card. The Black Mortgage Card. My dad is panicking, returning back. I'm just confused….how he managed to. Please grab him!”
Everywhere first blurred.
“Mark had said it!” The neighbors said.
“Give us that card!” The guards lunged at him.
Everything happened in a whirlwind.
The thug who attacked first was now lying on the ground, clutching his stomach in agony.
At some point, Caiden had already taken the steel pipe from him.
In the next instant, Caiden moved like a flash of light.
Heavier groans rang in the air as one attacker after another collapsed, groaning in pain. The neighbors retreated. “So for real, he's a burglar.”
“He's a criminal!” Dr. Mark shouted in confirmation but from a distance. “You shouldn't have defended him, Cecilia.”
“So that's her name?” Caiden thought within him.
People took out their phones to call the police when a man came running inside. “Dr. Howard, Michael sent me. Your file is missing at the HR. We need your passport and full Pic to process your digital details.”
“So you choose here?”
Caiden nodded. Those who had wanted to call the police dropped their phones, watching in disbelief as things unfolded.
“And the card, the boss needs you to use it for the commercials. Video must be ready before the Auction. It's the very sent forth we can give to you.”
The neighbors burst out laughing. Cecilia folded her palms with fury.
“So he pretended to be something when he's just here for a commercial with a fake card?” They were pissed but couldn't help ignoring the amusing feeling this event brought them.
However one person stood still as the pictures were taken of him. Cecilia. She stood up to defend him, normally she wasn't one that would stand up to defend people randomly but because of what he did for her sister and cousin.
Caiden was snapped and the man rushed off. The neighbors had all left one-by-one to attend to important things.
Mark was the last to leave but not without making a disappointed call to Maelie. “Such a fake dude. The card is fake. His presence here for a commercial. His sent forth.”
But suddenly his face twisted, terror overwhelmed him.
Mark’s expression darkened.
“Don't worry, I'll be there right away.” Saying this, he rushed off leaving Caiden staring, guessing it's an emergency.

Iowa spent four exhausting days following the trail of the suspicious transactions.When she finally uncovered the person behind them, she stared at her screen for a moment before quietly speaking the name.“It’s Gerald Stanley.”The room instantly went silent.Caiden’s face darkened, every trace of emotion disappearing. “My chief financial strategist?”Without saying another word, Iowa projected the financial records onto the screen.“He has been secretly moving money through Bellcastle’s backup accounts for several months,” she explained.“In the beginning, the withdrawals were tiny, almost impossible to notice among thousands of legitimate transactions.”“But once Bellcastle expanded its investment in DEZ OILS, Gerald grew bolder. The amounts he diverted became much larger.”Cecilia’s expression hardened as the realization hit her.“So he’s been robbing us all along.”Iowa gave a slight nod.Caiden let out a slow breath, his eyes never leaving the evidence before him.“And he used

CHAPTER 128The next thirty days happened to pass in an unsettling silence.From the updates Iowa quietly gathered, they learned that Derrick had started selling off his personal properties one after another.Every penny was being poured into a restitution fund he had rushed to create.A fund meant to repay the pensions and compensation owed to countless families who had spent years waiting for justice.Most of them had long since given up hope that they would ever receive what was rightfully theirs.Frederick, on the other hand, disappeared almost completely from the public.The powerful businessman who had once commanded respect everywhere he went was fading into the background.Behind closed doors, he focused on fulfilling every condition that had been placed before him, knowing he no longer had the influence to fight back.Each evening, Mark and Cathryn returned to the Howard estate feeling lighter than they had in months.The crushing burden of carrying dangerous secrets was fina

Daniel Phillips agreed to help, but he had one condition.“I want them to face the truth with their own eyes,” he said quietly after listening to the plan.“I don’t want this to end with some court document they can bury with money and powerful lawyers. I want to stand in front of Frederick and Derrick.”“I want to see the look on their faces when they realize I’m still alive, and that I have everything I need to bring them down.”Caiden thought about Daniel’s request for a moment.“That’s a dangerous thing to do,” he said. “Not just for you, but for everyone standing beside you.”Daniel slowly shook his head.“I’ve spent the last three years hiding,” he replied, his voice much steadier than before.“I’m tired of living in fear of men who became rich by destroying other people’s lives. If I’m going to risk everything again, then it has to be worth it.”No one argued with him after that.It took another two weeks of planning before everything was finally ready.During that time, Mark a

The next morning, before Mark and Cathryn could even finish eating breakfast, Iowa called everyone together for an emergency meeting.“Ravenswood made a move during the night,” she said as soon as they walked into the training hall.Her laptop was already open, with several windows filled with scrolling data.“They managed to get into a set of encrypted files connected to an old whistleblower case. It involves someone who tried to expose Frederick’s illegal activities three years ago.”Cathryn felt her heart sink.“The whistleblower you told us about during our first live training exercise,” she said carefully. “The one whose case files we studied.”Iowa gave a slow nod.“Yes, the same person. But now it looks like Ravenswood isn’t just keeping an eye on the case anymore. They’re actively trying to find the whistleblower.”Just as she finished speaking, Caiden walked into the room. His face looked more serious than Mark or Cathryn had ever seen before.“Do we know who the whistleblowe
Chapter 125
Over the next few days, the training hall no longer felt like a place where people simply learned new skills.It slowly turned into a command center where every decision mattered.Every table was covered with documents, maps, laptops, and handwritten notes.The room was always busy, filled with quiet conversations and seriousness as everyone worked toward the same goal.Iowa stood at the center of the room, arranging several files across the long table.The bright laptop screens displayed reports, financial records, and timelines.Every paper represented another piece of a much bigger picture that Mark and Cathryn now had to help complete.“Frederick still believes you’re secretly giving him information about Caiden’s plans against DEZ OILS,” Iowa said calmly as she looked at both of them.“That trust is our greatest advantage right now. As long as he believes you’re on his side, we can use that to pull him to our advantage.”Cathryn leaned closer to the table, studying the files with
