The Wedding No One Wanted Him At.

  • The End of the Siberian Syndicate

    Before Viktor Volkov's fifty mercenaries could pull the triggers of their Kalashnikov rifles, Arthur spoke a single word:"Now."His word instantaneous and authoritative completely sending a strong signal to those who were meant to heed his command.Instantly, the twelve floor-to-ceiling windows surrounding the penthouse suite shattered inward from the outside!Not from bullets—from forty Aegis Zero-Unit soldiers hanging on tactical assault cables outside the twentieth floor, firing synchronized acoustic shockwave grenades and electromagnetic pulse rounds directly into the room!A blinding flash of white light and a deafening sonic boom shook the entire top floor of the Plaza Hotel. The fifty Russian mercenaries dropped their rifles, clutching their bleeding ears as the sonic shockwave ruptured their eardrums and knocked them unconscious onto the carpet in less than two seconds!At the same time, Marcus lunged forward like a cannonball, kicking the dining table straight into Viktor Vo

  • The Ambush at the Plaza Hotel

    Twelve hours later, at midnight in New York City, Fifth Avenue outside the Plaza Hotel was completely blocked off by forty Aegis tactical vehicles and a hundred armed contractors.Each contractor was armed to the teeth ready to descend with ferocity on anyone who dared to invade the premises.Up on the twentieth floor, inside the Royal Penthouse Suite, Viktor Volkov—a massive, sixty-eight-year-old Russian oligarch in a heavy fur-lined coat, who controlled forty percent of the nickel, titanium, and private weapons trade in Eastern Europe—sat at the dining table cleaning a gold-plated Makarov pistol.He was a man of nothing but pure luxury and leader in the trading of weapons this enabled him to do unimaginable things with the power he had., this was coupled with the fact that being an oligarch enabled him to have government protection.Standing behind him were fifty armed Russian mercenaries carrying Kalashnikov rifles and heavy military explosives strapped to the structural columns of

  • The Kneeling Zaibatsu

    On the hot concrete of Runway A at Narita Airport, the wind blew across the silent crowd.Kenji Sato—the most powerful industrialist in Japan, a man who had forced prime ministers to resign and treated foreign billionaires like servants for forty years—stood shaking between his thirty black sedans and the bowing government officials."Sign over fifty-one percent of the Sato Zaibatsu for one dollar?!" Kenji Sato shouted, his voice cracking with rage and disbelief. "My family built this empire over a hundred and twenty years! Our factories, our shipyards, our banks—they are worth two hundred and fifty billion dollars! And you want me to kneel to a thirty-year-old Chinese-American branch manager?!"Arthur didn't answer him. He looked at his platinum watch."It is 2:51 PM," Arthur said to Dana. "Release another fifty billion dollars against the Bank of Tokyo-Sato's commercial real estate holdings."Dana tapped her tablet screen.Instantly, the Governor of the Bank of Japan let out a cry o

  • The Standoff at Narita Airport

    "Change the flight plan," Arthur told the pilot of the Gulfstream G700. "Do not land in Zurich. Fly straight over the pole to Tokyo Narita Airport. And tell the Boeing 747 transport plane carrying our Aegis tactical unit to meet us there."Twelve hours later, Arthur's jet touched down on Runway A at Narita International Airport in Japan.It was two o'clock in the afternoon. Instead of taxiing to the VIP terminal, the plane was guided toward a massive private cargo hangar owned by the Sato Zaibatsu.Parked inside the open hangar were Vance Logistics' six Boeing 777 freighter planes, loaded with twelve billion dollars worth of advanced microchips from Taiwan. Blocking the runway in front of the planes were thirty black Lexus sedans and a hundred men in dark suits wearing the gold chrysanthemum lapel pin of the Sato family, along with fifty armed officers from the Tokyo Custom Service.In front of the hangar sat Kenji Sato, the seventy-year-old billionaire chairman of the Sato Zaibatsu,

  • The Siege of the Zurich Vault

    Inside the high-security financial district of Zurich, thick black smoke rose into the night sky from the courtyard of the Vance Sovereign Bullion Depository.Four heavy armored personnel carriers painted in matte black without license plates had smashed through the outer steel perimeter gates. Over eighty professional mercenaries carrying military-grade rifles, rocket-propelled grenades, and thermal lance cutting equipment had surrounded the main underground vault entrance.Sitting inside the command vehicle parked across the street was Klaus von Berg's nephew, Lukas von Berg—a former special forces commander who had been dishonorably discharged for running diamond mines in West Africa—and next to him sat Sebastian Vance-St. Claire, the disgraced heir from London."How much longer until the thermal lances cut through the outer vault door?" Sebastian asked nervously, looking out the bulletproof window at the burning guardhouse. "The Swiss police will be here in fifteen minutes!""The

  • The Purge on Capitol Hill

    "Remove me from the Senate?!" Senator Charles Sterling shouted through the phone from his office in the Russell Senate Office Building in Washington. "You psychotic criminal! You just assaulted a senator's daughter while I was on the line! I am calling the Attorney General and the Director of the FBI right now! You won't even make it to the airport before federal SWAT teams surround your building!"The call disconnected as Sterling hung up to call the Justice Department.On the floor of the Fifth Avenue showroom, Victoria Sterling was sobbing hysterically, holding up her two broken wrists while her twenty bodyguards lay handcuffed across the marble.Marcus unlocked the iron grate to the basement and helped Clara Hartwell up the stairs.Clara stood shaking in front of Arthur, holding her fractured left arm. She looked at Victoria on the floor, then up at Arthur's calm, cold face."Arthur..." Clara whispered, tears running down her swollen cheek. "You broke her arms... for me? Even afte
