2026-04-30 12:04:18Mr Scott didn't like the way Logan was handling the matter. He wanted Logan to cry and beg for another chance. "What stupid salary? You're not going to get a single dime."
This was something Logan couldn't tolerate. Even if the salary was nothing, it didn't change the fact that he worked for it, he took out the trash, skipped meals, and tolerated a lot of insults just to get paid. He wouldn't take it lying down. "Since you've decided to not pay me, I'll be taking the matter up with the general manager."
The supervisor man waved Logan off with his hand. “Do whatever you want. Now get out of here and don't show your face to me again, unless you want your co-workers to throw you out of here."
Logan went straight to the manager to report the matter but found that the man was in support of what Mr Scott did to him. Logan then threatened to report the manager to the human resources department. This made the manager so angry that he called security.
“You've messed up big time, you good-for-nothing bastard.” The manager said in anger, “This is going to be the worst day of your life.”
Logan was dragged out of the building after being beaten. Even after he was thrown outside, several security officers and janitors were still punching and kicking him. Some even laughed as they did it.
“Hey, Logan.” One of the janitors called, “Since you don't work here anymore. We’ll be taking your uniform.” They began to tear and strip him of his uniform, almost leaving him naked. Logan looked down on his torn and battered uniform, he grew angry and frustrated but didn't let it show.
"How could you all do this to me?" He asked in a low voice, "We've worked together for years and this is how you decide to treat me?"
They looked at one another and then burst into laughter.
“Just shut up, man.” One of the older janitors said to him. "Ever since you started working here, the female cleaners stopped paying attention to us. They used to be all over us but it stopped when you started working here!" He angrily spat and punched him hard. "To them, our looks are nothing compared to yours."
Logan almost laughed at that. Ever since he started working at Synergy, the female cleaners had been all over him, trying to get his attention. He resisted them and even told them how he was married but these ladies didn't care and still kept making moves on him. They would even flirt with him in the open but he always ignored them. How was that his fault?
"Is this really the reason you all hate me? Because of women who I have no interest in? Are you all insane?" Logan stood up, clenched his fists and was ready to fight back.
"Enough with the chatting and get that scum away from here!” Mr Scott angrily shouted when he heard the commotion.
"Is this fool still here?" Don't you idiots know how to do your jobs well?" A tall man with sharp eyes and wearing a suit came out with his two hands on his back. It was Jared Fisher, the manager who ignored Logan's complaints and ordered the security men to throw him out.
"You!" Logan raised a finger and pointed it directly at Jared. "Mark my words, I'm going to make you pay for what you did to me."
Jared chuckled amusingly, "I would love to see you try. You worthless imp."
Logan said no more as he brought out his battered phone. They looked at him in confusion, wondering who he was calling. “Ooh, I'm so scared.” One of the janitors joked and the others laughed. What they didn't know was that he was calling Alfred.

Chapter 265: The Warehouse Laptop
Logan spent the next few hours preparing for the warehouse visit. Scott's team secured the perimeter well before Logan arrived. Logan drove to the location at the stated time. He parked a block away and walked the rest of the distance. His hand was close to his weapon, but he didn't draw it.The warehouse was dark and cold and empty. The only light came from a single laptop sitting on a crate in the middle of the floor. The screen was glowing, a video was already playing.Logan approached slowly. He kept his eyes moving. He scanned the rafters, the corners and the shadows. He stopped in front of the laptop. The video showed a distorted figure. The face was blurred and the voice was altered. It was impossible to tell the gender.The distorted voice spoke. It was flat and mechanical."Gordon Pilgrim was useful but expendable. He served his purpose, now he is nothing."Logan watched the screen. His expression didn't change."We know who you really are, Logan. We know your true bloodlin
Chapter 264: The Restaurant Meeting
Logan arrived at the restaurant fifteen minutes early. The maître d' led him to a private room in the back with a long table and soft lighting. The seven engineers were already waiting for himThey stood up when he walked in, he shook each hand and introduced himself. They looked nervous but also excited and that was a good combination.They sat down, the waiters brought out appetizers and wine but the engineers barely touched anything because they had questionsOne of them spoke first, his name was Dr. Chen and he was the lead on the project. He leaned forward with his hands on the table."We appreciate the opportunity Logan, but we have concerns about direction and independence."Logan nodded and set down his glass "Tell me everything."Another engineer spoke up, her name was Maria and her voice was sharp but not rude "We need to know who we're reporting to and what happens if our work conflicts with your other interests."Logan looked at each of them one by one and he could see the
Chapter 263: The Crumbling Foundation
Luke arrived at the study with a folder under his arm. His face was serious, Logan knew it was important before Luke even spoke."Logan. I have something you need to see."Logan motioned for him to sit. "Show me."Luke opened the folder and spread papers across the desk. Shipping manifests, port records and termination notices. He pointed at each one as he talked."The Bright smuggling network is finished. They lost their last major port contact yesterday. The guy walked away, there was no warning."Logan picked up one of the papers and scanned it. "That means the remaining goods are being seized."Luke nodded. "Customs is holding shipments at three different ports. Suppliers are demanding payment for goods that aren't moving. The whole operation is crumbling from the inside."Logan set the paper down. "Jackson Bright?""He's in emergency meetings with his remaining allies, trying to salvage something. But from what I'm hearing, there's not much left to salvage.""What about Max?"Luk
Chapter 262: Cleaning the Board
Logan was reviewing the Micro-Dash outlines when Scott called. Scott's voice was urgent."Logan. One of the PI firms dropped out."Logan set down his pen. "Which one?""The local firm. The one Gordon hired first, they just withdrew. Cited conflict of interest."Logan leaned back in his chair. "That doesn't happen unless someone made them.""That's what I thought. So I traced it, soomeone made an anonymous payment. It was much larger than Gordon's budget. Enough to make the firm walk away."Logan was quiet for a moment. "Who?""I can't trace the payment. It came through multiple shell accounts. But someone spent a lot of money to cut Gordon's resources."Logan's expression hardened. "The real player. They're cleaning the board, cutting Gordon's tools and making him weaker."Scott paused. "That doesn't make sense. If the real player is pulling Gordon's strings, why weaken him?""Because Gordon is becoming a liability. He's too emotional and too reckless. The real player wants control, G
Chapter 261: The Import-Channel Proposal
Logan arrived at the private conference room at nine forty-five. Roman was already there. He stood by the window with a folder in his hand."Logan. Morning.""Morning." Logan sat down at the table. "Where's Dominique?""On her way. Traffic."Logan nodded. He looked around the room. It was neutral, white walls and a long table. Dominique Kay walked in a few minutes later. She was dressed in a sharp suit. Her hair was pulled back, she carried a leather portfolio."Logan. Good to see you.""You too, Dominique."She sat down across from him. Roman took the seat at the head of the table. He opened his folder and spread out papers."The consortium proposal. Formal presentation. I want you both to see everything before we move forward."Logan leaned back. "Go ahead."Roman laid out the details. Shared oversight of the import channels. Revenue splits that favored stability over growth. A city-council veto power that gave the government final say on major decisions.Logan listened. He didn't

Logan waited until the house was quiet. Ava was asleep, Mia was asleep, the halls were dark and still.He walked to his study and closed the door behind him. He sat down at his desk and pulled out his phone. His hands were steady but his mind was not. Victor, the name kept circling in his head.He called Alfred.Alfred answered after two rings. "Logan. It's late.""I know. I need information.""What kind?""Victor Mitchell. I need his whereabouts, no matter how fragmentary."Alfred was quiet for a moment. Then he spoke. "That name. I haven't heard it in years.""Neither have I. But someone just sent me a message. Victor is still waiting. That means he's out there. That means he's connected to this."Alfred's voice was careful. "The trail on Victor Mitchell went cold a long time ago. He disappeared, went underground. No one has seen him in years.""Then find him. I don't care how long it takes. I don't care what it costs.
