CHAPTER 886
Seeing that there were no other options, Tedmond's eyes darted across the area. He slowly turned toward the steel security door, his eyes narrowing into two icy slits."Good," Tedmond said softly, stepping in front of Rony to completely block him from the catwalk above. "Now we don't have to knock."The heavy steel maintenance door burst open with a loud metallic bang, and four heavily armed contractors poured into the narrow alleyway. Rain glinted off the sleek black barrels of their rifles as they fanned out, their flashlights cutting bright white beams through the dark fog."Hands up! Don't move!" the lead contractor barked, his accent thick and sharp as he raised his rifle. "Who the hell are you? State your names and why you're on private property!"The blinding spotlight from the catwalk pinned the two intruders against the damp concrete wall.Rony’s heart was hammering against his ribs like a trapped bird. He raised his hands high into the air, holding his briefcase tightly i

He put the phone in his pocket and looked out the tinted window. The heavy rain had started up again, drumming steadily against the glass. The dark silhouettes of giant cargo cranes and rusted warehouse roofs began to appear through the mist as the SUV crossed into the North Side dock district.Rony set his terminal down, looking over at Tedmond with a mix of awe and nervous tension."Mr. Washington," Rony spoke up, clearing his throat quietly. "Henderson's security isn't just basic port guards. He uses former foreign military contractors to guard that plant. They carry automatic weapons and run tight perimeter shifts."Tedmond didn't even blink. He reached down, calmly adjusting his silver cufflinks, his posture completely relaxed as if he were simply arriving for an afternoon executive meeting."Rony," Tedmond said flatly, his voice echoing through the quiet vehicle like heavy iron. "When we get out of this car, you stay two steps behind me and hold the briefcase. You don't need

CHAPTER 883
Persis set her teacup down, her sharp green eyes locking onto her husband. She knew that look in his eyes. It was the look he got right before he destroyed an entire corporate dynasty, but this time, the fire behind it was far more personal."Tell me," Persis said quietly. "How do we hit them without setting off their alarms?""We don't hit the top first," Tedmond said, his deep voice calm and calculated. "We cut off their supply line. Thomas, who is the main buyer listed on the North Side trade ministry account?"Thomas tapped the screen, bringing up a detailed profile. "Director Samuel. He oversees maritime customs approvals for the entire eastern harbor. Every uninspected container ship that entered the North Side docks over the past three years went through his desk.""Samuel," Persis murmured, a cold smile touching her lips. "He was at the charity dinner last night. He was one of the men who tried to talk to you before I stepped in.""He was," Tedmond confirmed. "He thinks Art
CHAPTER 882
The rest of the night turned into a quiet battle against time.Tedmond sat alone in his private library with only a desk lamp on. The light from his monitor lit up his sharp face as he read through hundreds of pages of logistics files. Vessel names, customs dates, and coded notes filled the screen. Every file meant real human lives being bought, sold, and moved like hidden cargo.As the hours passed, memories of his past returned with painful clarity. He remembered the cold fear of his childhood, the day his mother was taken, and the empty years he spent wondering where she was. Looking at the screen, he realized the same monsters had simply changed their clothes and moved into higher offices.He didn't sleep at all. He stayed in that chair until the heavy rain slowed to a drizzle and the gray light of early morning began to peek through the windows.By noon the next day, the rain had cleared completely.In the sunlit dining room of the estate, the long table was set with fresh b

Rony took a deep breath to calm his nerves. He knew that helping Tedmond meant going to war against some of the most dangerous people in the city, but he had no choice now."I can't just give you a password for the first two layers," Rony said, keeping his voice quiet and careful. "I built the system so it can only be unlocked from my main computer at the port office. I have to run the code myself."Tedmond kept his eyes locked on him. "And where is Henderson hiding his main server?""In an old meatpacking plant near the North Side docks," Rony answered directly. "It has heavy security and runs on its own power grid. That server gets all the live shipping data. If you want to save the victims before they delete everything, you have to capture that server first."From the corner of the room, Arthur let out a weak groan, clutching his swollen jaw. "You are crazy, Washington... Both of you are out of your minds! If Henderson knows you're coming, he will delete all the files and burn t
