Chapter 110
The Romano estate's private study felt heavy with tension as Leo paced behind his mahogany desk, his expensive Italian shoes clicking against the marble floor with each agitated step. Thompson stood at attention near the office door, a thick file of surveillance reports clutched in his hands."Tell me again what your sources reported," Leo commanded, his voice tight with barely controlled anger.Thompson opened the file and consulted his notes. "Sir, our surveillance team confirms that Karvel Cross has been spending significant time at the Yale family estate over the past week. He was also observed entering and leaving Yale Medical Center on multiple occasions.""The Yale Medical Center?" Leo's eyebrows shot up with interest. "What business could that nobody possibly have with Carson City's most prestigious medical facility?""We're still gathering details, sir," Thompson admitted reluctantly. "Dr. Yale has been keeping whatever happened very quiet. No press releases, no public statem
CHAPTER 109
"Excuse me," Vivian called to the nurse at the reception desk, her voice tight with anxiety. "I'm looking for Sophia Yale. I heard she was brought in with some kind of infection.""ICU, fourth floor," the nurse replied sympathetically. "But I should warn you, they're only allowing immediate family—"Vivian was already running toward the elevators before the nurse could finish her sentence. As the elevator doors opened on the fourth floor, she was shocked to see Karvel standing outside the ICU, his expression grim as he studied what appeared to be medical charts."Karvel?" Vivian's voice carried confusion and relief. "What are you doing here? How did you know about Sophia?"Karvel looked up from the charts, his face carefully neutral. "Dr. Yale called me. He wanted me to consult on her case.""But how did this happen?" Vivian asked desperately. "The nurse downstairs said something about a pathogen. Was it related to that family you've been treating?"I can't tell her that Sophia infect

The morning sun filtered through the laboratory's tall windows as Karvel meticulously arranged the new samples that had arrived from the affected family's residence. Each specimen was carefully catalogued and placed in individual containment units, the potential danger requiring extreme precision in handling procedures.Finally, Karvel thought as he examined the environmental samples under his microscope. These should provide the missing piece of the puzzle. The pathogen has to have an environmental source.The laboratory door swung open with unnecessary force, and Sophia Yale strode in wearing a tight-fitting dress that was completely inappropriate for a medical facility. Her high heels clicked against the sterile floor as she approached Karvel's workstation with obvious determination."Well, well," Sophia announced loudly, "if it isn't the man who thinks he's too good for the Yale family."Karvel looked up from his microscope briefly before returning to his work. "Sophia, this is a

Leo Romano sat in his opulent study, swirling a glass of aged whiskey as he contemplated the events of the previous evening.The humiliation of his brother-in-law had initially angered him, but upon reflection, he found himself viewing the incident through an entirely different lens."Thompson," Leo called to his security chief, who stood at attention near the office door."What's your assessment of the Sebastian Sterling situation after last night's incident?"Thompson consulted his notes before responding."Sir, based on Ethan Carter's testimony, Sterling deliberately avoided physical violence specifically because of your family connection. He showed restraint that contradicts his usual brutality.""Exactly," Leo said with growing satisfaction."Sebastian Sterling isn't just some mindless thug after all. He's calculating enough to recognize superior authority when he sees it."This changes everything, Leo thought, his strategic mind already formulating new possibilities.If Sterling
CHAPTER 106 PART 2
The insult hit Ethan like a physical blow, and he lunged forward with his fists raised. However, Torres stepped between them with fluid efficiency, his massive frame blocking Ethan's attack without even appearing to exert effort."Careful there, little man," Torres said quietly, his voice carrying obvious menace. "Wouldn't want you to hurt yourself.""Get away from me!" Ethan screamed, his voice cracking with panic as he realized the size and danger of Sebastian's security team. "I'm protected! Leo Romano will destroy you for this!""Protected?" Sebastian laughed cruelly, the sound echoing across the suddenly silent casino floor. "Is that what you call cowering behind your sister's marriage? How embarrassing for the Romano family."Sebastian stepped closer, his voice dropping to a whisper that somehow seemed more terrifying than any shout. "Let me tell you something, you pathetic little worm. The only reason you're still standing is because of Leo Romano's reputation. But even family
CHAPTER 106
The sterile white walls of the Yale Medical Center's research wing hummed with quiet intensity as Karvel bent over a microscope, his trained eyes studying tissue samples that had baffled Carson City's most experienced physicians for weeks.The mystery case had consumed his attention for three days straight – a family of seven, all presenting with completely different symptoms despite being exposed to the same unknown pathogen."Any progress, Mr. Cross?" Dr. Yale asked quietly, entering the laboratory where Karvel had essentially taken up residence."More than your other specialists achieved," Karvel replied without looking up from his work."They made the classic mistake of assuming different symptoms meant different causes. In reality, we're dealing with a single pathogen that affects different organ systems based on individual genetic predispositions."Dr. Yale moved closer, his curiosity evident. "That's... that's actually brilliant. But identifying the specific pathogen...""Will
