Chapter 1
"Mr. Garnett, the arrest of that terrible terrorist, 'Don Boer' was a masterstroke! Helton City and the entire PortVarter State owe you a debt of gratitude. That man terrorized us for far too long." Josh, one of Douglas's assistants, expressed his excitement with a slight bow.Douglas gave a casual smile as he descended the grand staircase of his sprawling mansion, the victory feeling almost insignificant to him. After all, it was nothing compared to the many triumphs he had helped PortVarter State achieve over the past four years.Before Douglas could speak, the heavy oak doors of the living room were pushed open and two men in police uniforms strode inside with their stern faces and stiff postures breaking the relaxed elegance of the mansion. They walked straight up to Douglas. "Mr. Douglas Garnett, you are under arrest," one of the officers spoke with authority. Douglas’s eyes narrowed slightly, as he stared at the officers coldly. Even Douglas' assistants who flanked him sta

Douglas's Triumph and Their Regret Chapter 50
Javier gripped the edge of his desk, his breath coming in ragged gasps. His entire body trembled with rage.Just moments ago, he had been basking in glorious praise, reveling in the admiration of his peers. He had proudly boasted about his son Marvin’s “incredible accomplishment”, believing it would secure both their futures in national politics.But now…Everything had collapsed in an instant.The truth had reached the highest ranks of government.Douglas was not a “super corrupt official”—he was a self-made philanthropist who had used his own wealth to help people across the world.Those warehouses filled with boxes weren’t stuffed with ill-gotten money—they were filled with thank-you letters from millions of people whose lives Douglas had changed.The revelation had left the entire capital in shock.Many of the nation’s top leaders had even been moved to tears reading the letters.And now, instead of being praised, Javier was being questioned.The other officials in the conference

Marvin felt his stomach drop the moment he saw the journalist and the cameraman enter the warehouse.Their jackets bore the unmistakable logo of the Federal News Channel—the most authoritative news agency in the country.They were here on orders from the federal government.Marvin’s face turned as white as a sheet.His entire body tensed as cold sweat dripped down his back."This is bad. This is really bad," he muttered to himself.He had spent weeks planning this massive operation, involving the bank, the investigation team, and the governor himself.But now, it was all falling apart.The journalist and his cameraman had already pieced together the truth.Douglas was not some super-corrupt criminal who had drained the people of PortVarter dry.He was a selfless philanthropist, using his own wealth to help millions of people across the world.Those sealed boxes didn’t contain illicit funds—they were filled with thank-you letters from grateful individuals, so many that even ten warehou

Marvin's heart pounded violently in his chest. His hands were clammy with his mind racing."Governor Clarke," he said impatiently, "Did you send the video to the federal government?"There was silence on the other end for a split second—then a sharp intake of breath.It was then that Stewart suddenly remembered.He had already sent the video to Javier Drake—Marvin’s father.A cold sweat broke out on Stewart’s forehead. His fingers tightened around his phone.Oh no.Javier was undoubtedly sharing the video with other federal officials by now, perhaps even showing it off to his contacts in the highest ranks of government.If the truth came out after the broadcast went public, the consequences would be catastrophic.Stewart barely managed to croak out, "Marvin… I already sent it."Marvin staggered back as if he had been punched in the gut.Stewart didn’t wait for a reply—he abruptly ended the call and immediately dialed Javier.The phone rang once. Then twice.No answer.Stewart’s panic

Douglas's Triumph and Their Regret Chapter 47
The senior federal officials sat in stunned silence as the video played before them, displaying rows upon rows of giant, unopened boxes inside a massive warehouse. Their expressions darkened as the implications sank in.If these boxes contained the ill-gotten money of a “super-corrupt” criminal, the amount would be beyond staggering—unimaginable.The murmurs in the room soon turned into harsh condemnation.“This is absolutely monstrous!” one official spat, his fist slamming against the table. “Draining the blood of the people of PortVarter like this… it’s utterly inhumane!”“A man like this should have been executed long ago!” another fumed.“Think about how much PortVarter has suffered under this criminal’s greed! If it weren’t for him, the state GDP wouldn’t be stuck at a mere 20 trillion dollars. It would have already surpassed 30 trillion!”“The citizens have been oppressed for too long!”Their anger was relentless and their imaginations running wild with the supposed crimes Dou

Marvin remained on the cold warehouse floor, his body trembling as he fully absorbed the consequences of his actions. What was supposed to be a triumphant takedown of Douglas had transformed into a humiliating disaster—an operation so flawed and misguided that it would be remembered as the greatest embarrassment in PortVarter’s history.The officials around him had already begun whispering among themselves."Mr Garnett didn't embezzle a single cent. Not only that, but he used his wealth to fund charities, disaster relief, and even medical research!""This whole thing is a joke! A man who has done so much good is being treated like a criminal?""I can't believe we were dragged into this. Mr Drake and Governor Clarke obviously had their own agenda."At first, the officials had been willing to follow Marvin’s lead, believing he had solid evidence against Douglas. But now, after seeing the truth with their own eyes, their doubts turned into full-blown suspicions.Had Marvin and Governor

Marvin, struggling to regain himself, simply couldn’t comprehend why, instead of piles of money, there were only letters of gratitude. His heart pounded, his breathing was uneven, and his hands clenched into tight fists.Why?!This was supposed to be the moment where he exposed Douglas as a corrupt, greedy criminal!This was supposed to be the moment where he revealed the hidden hoards of dirty money!Yet, instead, all they had uncovered were testimonies of Douglas’s kindness, his generosity, his selfless contributions to the world.His mind raced, searching for an explanation, any explanation, that would make sense.Just as Marvin was drowning in his confusion, an investigator ran into the warehouse, his footsteps echoing against the concrete floor. The officials turned to him, their expressions expectant. Marvin, desperate for something to shift the situation in his favor, took a sharp breath and asked, “Did you find it?”The investigator nodded. “Yes, we made a new discovery at

As the bank employees and officials continued to open the remaining boxes, they discovered that every single one was filled not with money or valuables, but with letters. The officials carefully unfolded the papers, their eyes scanning the heartfelt messages within.Some of the letters came from children in war-torn regions, their words scribbled with shaky hands thanking Douglas for providing them with shelter, food, and education when all hope had been lost. Others were from impoverished families in remote areas, expressing their gratitude for the wells Douglas had funded, which brought them clean water for the first time in generations. There were also letters from disaster-prone areas, thanking Douglas for his swift response in sending aid after floods, earthquakes, and hurricanes.There were notes from international aid organizations, acknowledging generous donations that had saved countless lives. The letters came from every corner of the world—countries ravaged by conflict,

The lid finally came off, revealing... stacks of envelopes. Marvin, though initially caught off guard, quickly dismissed the confusion with a smirk."So that's it," he muttered to himself. "That criminal, Douglas, must have had some bizarre habit of storing cash inside envelopes. What a ridiculous way to hoard money!"The thought irritated him. Marvin could almost imagine Douglas reveling in this peculiar preference, stuffing envelopes with bills as some sort of ritual. It was laughable. "What kind of fool goes to such lengths just to satisfy an odd obsession?" he sneered inwardly.Determined to expose the hidden fortune, Marvin turned to the nearest bank employee."Open one of the envelopes," he ordered. "Let's see exactly how much cash the criminal has been hiding."The employee hesitated momentarily but complied. Carefully, he slit open the top of the envelope, his fingers trembling slightly as he pulled out its contents. His eyes widened as he unfolded a single sheet of

After ending the call with the bank's representatives, Marvin held his phone high to video-call Stewart. His face was flushed with excitement as he panned the camera across the rows of stacked boxes. The sheer number of them was breathtaking, even to him, and he couldn’t wait to see Stewart’s reaction. “Governor Clarke, look at this!” Marvin exclaimed, his voice trembling with enthusiasm. “It’s all here. Dozens of rows, each filled to the brim with what I believe are that criminal’s dirty millions!” On the other end of the line, Stewart leaned closer to his screen, his eyes gleaming with excitement. “Incredible! Marvin, this could be the biggest embezzlement case in the history of PortVarter. That bastard, Douglas, is finished!” Stewart paused, as if struck by an idea. “Listen, Marvin. Record a proper video of the entire warehouse—every single row and box—and send it to me. We need to document everything. This is evidence that could shake the country.” Marvin nodded, eage
