Chapter 32. The Secret Recognition
"Or am I mistaken?" Chairwoman Jessamy Sterling thought to herself, her heart thumping heavily as she stared at the quiet man standing by the sunlit window.She stood frozen in Mia Wright's office, her golden hair reflecting the morning light, her eyes fixed entirely on Thomas Green. Three years ago, deep inside a high-security national archive, she had read classified reports about elite, shadow-level special operatives who guarded the nation's highest borders. That relaxed, perfectly balanced posture... that quiet, unshakeable stance... it matched the described profile of a top-secret operative. But could this simple, softly spoken civilian really be one of those high-level legends, or was it just a strange coincidence?Jessamy quickly bent down, picking up her gold pen from the wooden floor and smoothing her dark navy suit. She smiled politely at Mia. "Forgive me, Miss Wright. A sudden dizzy spell. In any case, your business accounts are officially restored. To celebrate, I am
Chapter 31. Introduction of Jessamy Sterling
"Freeze every single corporate account belonging to Veritas Beauty by noon." George Smith barked into his phone, his trembling fingers gripping a fountain pen inside his private study.With the Thorne family ruined and Jack Hill consumed by paranoia, George Smith was terrified. He knew that without money, Mia Wright could not purchase raw materials or pay her distribution staff. Using his long-standing ties with the regional banking union, George intended to choke Veritas Beauty financially before Thomas Green could take another step against his family."It's already in motion, Mr. Smith," the corrupt regional bank manager replied over the line. "We flagged her account for suspicious international transfers. Her funds will be completely locked by two o'clock."George let out a harsh, desperate laugh. "Good. Let's see how cool Thomas Green stays when his woman's company cannot pay a single utility bill."What George did not know was that a private jet from the capital had landed at
Chapter 30. The Paranoia Grows
"Your snipers need better positions, Jack."The quiet, tranquil voice over the private landline phone shattered the silence of the top-floor office like a glass bottle breaking against stone.Jack Hill’s hand trembled so violently that the receiver rattled against his ear. Sweat poured down his temples, soaking the collar of his designer shirt. His chest heaved up and down as if he had just run a miles-long marathon in the burning heat."Thomas..." Jack choked out, his throat dry as dust, his voice cracking with terror. "How... how did you get this private number?""You spent thirty years ruling the underworld from behind a desk, Jack," Thomas replied softly, his voice carrying an unshakeable, freezing depth over the static line. "You thought sending three shooters to a crowded plaza would solve your problems. But you forgot one simple rule."Jack gripped the edge of his desk, his knuckles turning pale."W-What rule?""When you hunt a predator," Thomas whispered calmly, "...you sh
Chapter 29. Jack Hill’s Direct Strike
"If you want a dog killed properly, stop sending useless street trash to do a lion's job," Jack Hill growled into his desk phone, his gold ring clicking sharply against the glass desk.Jack Hill—the shadowy syndicate boss who had secretly financed the Johnson family's corporate schemes and supplied mercenaries to the Thorne Empire—sat on the top floor of the fifty-story Hill Tower overlooking the central plaza of Valmoria. His face was cold, his thick grey hair neatly combed back, and his eyes held the ruthless hunger of a man who had ruled the city's underworld for thirty years.Beside him stood three tall executive assistants holding dark binoculars and champagne flutes."The three marksmen are in position on the surrounding rooftops, Mr. Hill," his chief assistant reported quietly, pointing toward the plaza five hundred feet below. "These are top-tier foreign professionals. They don't miss. By nine o'clock, Thomas Green's heart will stop beating, and Mia Wright's business will ha
Chapter 28. The Four CEOs at the Teahouse
"Get your hands out of your pockets and drop to your knees, Thomas." Caspian Thorne shrieked, his voice echoing off the glass walls of the laboratory. "My father's private corporate army has surrounded the city perimeter, and these ten capital enforcers will snap your bones like dry twigs."The ten broad-shouldered enforcers stepped forward in unison, their leather shoes clicking against the clean tile floor as they reached into their tailored coats.Mia Wright gasped in terror, stepping in front of Thomas with her arms spread wide. "Caspian, stop this. This is a state-inspected research facility. You cannot just break in here and attack people."Thomas gently placed his right hand on Mia's shoulder, guiding her softly behind his back. His face remained as calm and tranquil as a deep mountain lake, his dark eyes fixed on Caspian's bandaged face."Caspian," Thomas said softly, his voice carrying a quiet, freezing weight that made the room temperature seem to drop instantly. "Your f
Chapter 27. Introduction of Morwenna Dale
"Tell your men to stop right there, Lord Thorne," Thomas said softly into his satellite phone, his voice steady as iron against the heavy wind howling over the industrial park gates.At the edge of the city perimeter, black smoke billowed from three hundred armored vehicles. Sitting inside the flagship command tank, Lord Chamberlain Thorne—a ruthless, white-haired patriarch in a dark fur coat—gripped his radio receiver with white knuckles. He listened to the quiet, unshakeable voice of the man who had humiliated his son, shattered his regional alliances, and brought the Thorne Empire to its knees in less than a month."You speak bold words for a broke ex-con standing alone in the dirt," Chamberlain Thorne growled, his voice rasping over the line like sharp gravel. "My private corporate fleet is ten minutes from tearing your industrial park to pieces. Hand over Mia Wright's business and leave Valmoria forever, or I will turn this whole district into ash.""You can try," Thomas repli
