CHAPTER 164
The abandoned warehouse that served as Sebastian Sterling's command center felt like a tomb as he surveyed the aftermath of his disastrous encounter with Leo's death squad.Only three of his eight specialists had survived the operation, and those who remained showed the hollow-eyed look of men who had witnessed supernatural violence.Leo brought his death squad back to Carson City without telling me, Sebastian realized with growing concern. Despite all his trust, he still keeps his most dangerous secrets hidden."Boss," Torres said with obvious trauma, "what the hell were those things? I've never seen anything move that fast.""Professional killers," Sebastian replied with cold certainty."The kind that governments use for operations that don't officially exist.""But they moved like ghosts," Giuseppe Romano protested with obvious fear."Nobody fights like that.""They do if they're trained properly," Sebastian said with grim knowledge."And if they're willing to sacrifice everything
Chapter 163
Karvel's estate fell silent after Vivian's dramatic departure, leaving him alone with the weight of maintaining his deceptions while the systematic destruction of Leo Romano's empire entered its most dangerous phase.The elimination of Marco Torretti had removed one threat, but Karvel knew that escalating attacks would eventually force Leo to deploy his most dangerous resources.Time to continue the pressure, Karvel decided with cold calculation.Leo's financial infrastructure needs another devastating blow.The transformation from Karvel Cross to Sebastian Sterling took place in his private chamber while Carson City's elite continued their evening social activities, completely unaware that their city's most dangerous criminal was preparing to strike again.Sebastian's secure phone buzzed with intelligence reports about Leo's remaining operations, each facility representing a critical component of the Romano empire's financial foundation."Torres," Sebastian commanded as he reviewed t
CHAPTER 162 PART 2
Meanwhile, in Marco Torretti's ransacked apartment, the accused traitor knelt on his living room floor surrounded by Leo's enforcers, his face already showing the bruises from their "interrogation.""Please, boss," Marco begged with obvious desperation, "I'm telling you the truth! I've never betrayed you! Someone planted that evidence!""WHO?" Leo screamed with explosive fury. "WHO WOULD PLANT EVIDENCE IN YOUR APARTMENT?""Sterling!" Marco insisted with growing panic. "It has to be Sterling! He's the real traitor!"The accusation hit Leo like a physical blow, his face flushing red with renewed rage at this continued attack on the man who had saved his life multiple times."YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" Leo roared with murderous intensity. "STERLING IS THE ONLY PERSON IN THIS ORGANIZATION I TRUST COMPLETELY!""Boss, please, you have to listen to me," Marco pleaded with tears streaming down his face. "Sterling is playing you! He's been working for your enemies from the beginning!""The only perso
Chapter 162 PART 1
The luxury hotel suite overlooked Carson City's business district as Mariya completed her final negotiations with the fashion industry investors.Sebastian maintained his professional distance throughout the meeting, but he could feel her calculating gaze on him whenever she thought he wasn't paying attention."That went extremely well," Mariya announced with obvious satisfaction as the investors departed. "The deal is worth fifteen million over three years.""Congratulations, Mrs. Romano," Sebastian replied with professional courtesy. "Your husband will be pleased with the success.""Will you be pleased?" Mariya asked with obvious suggestion, moving closer to where Sebastian stood near the window."Your business success doesn't concern me," Sebastian said with cold indifference. "My job is security, nothing more."She's been testing boundaries all day, Sebastian observed with growing irritation. Time to shut this down permanently."Sebastian," Mariya continued with desperate boldness
CHAPTER 161 PART 2
Meanwhile, across the city at the Romano estate, Leo had already assembled his most trusted enforcers for an immediate assault on Marco Torretti's apartment. The fury consuming him left no room for careful planning or strategic consideration."Thompson," Leo commanded with murderous intensity, "get Antonio, Giuseppe, Sal, and Vincent. We're paying Marco a visit.""Sir, what's the situation?" Thompson asked with professional concern."The situation," Leo replied with vicious satisfaction, "is that we've found the rat in our organization."Twenty minutes later, Leo's convoy screeched to a halt outside Marco Torretti's modest apartment building. The aging brick structure seemed to mock Leo's wealth and power as he led his armed men through the lobby toward Marco's third-floor unit."MARCO!" Leo roared as he pounded on the apartment door with enough force to rattle the frame. "OPEN THIS DOOR NOW!"Marco appeared in the doorway wearing a bathrobe and looking confused by this unexpected vis
CHAPTER 161 PART 1
The luxury sedan glided through Carson City's afternoon traffic as Sebastian Sterling sat beside Mariya in the vehicle's plush interior, his expression carefully neutral despite the dangerous situation he'd been forced into.Three of his most trusted men occupied the front seats and trailing vehicle, maintaining professional security protocols while remaining oblivious to their employer's true predicament.Perfect timing for the next phase, Sebastian thought as he checked his secure phone.Leo's desperation for leads about his mysterious enemy will make him act without thinking."Sebastian," Mariya said with obvious excitement, "I'm so grateful you agreed to handle my security personally. It means everything to me.""Just doing my job, Mrs. Romano," Sebastian replied with professional distance, not meeting her gaze."You can call me Mariya when we're alone," she suggested with obvious invitation. "We don't need to be so formal."She's already testing boundaries, Sebastian observed wit
