Chapter 40: Temporary Retreat
The red laser dots remained perfectly frozen on Beatrice Sterling’s pale forehead and chest. They did not shake even a single millimeter.Through the large glass windows of the library, the dark shadows of the three hundred Vanguard operators stood like silent statues in the night garden, their heavy sniper rifles completely locked onto her skull.The shiny black automatic handgun in Beatrice’s hands felt like a burning piece of hot coal. Her breath came in short, terrified gasps, and her long red fingernails lost all their strength.The supreme, face slapping humiliation was absolute. She was the grand madam of the Sterling estate, yet she was standing in her own library, completely surrounded and outgunned by her discarded stepson.Drop the toy gun, Beatrice, Leo Sterling said softly, his voice echoing through the quiet room like a cold winter wind.Beatrice looked at Leo’s sharp jawline and his calm, fearless eyes. She knew that if her finger moved even a tiny bit on that trigger,
Chapter 39: The Standing Standoff
The shiny black automatic handgun remained pointed straight at Leo Sterling’s chest. Beatrice Sterling gripped the cold metal weapon with both of her shaking hands, her long red fingernails digging into the handle.Her eyes were wide, filled with an explosive level of wild, bloodthirsty madness.The high suspense inside the grand library was so thick it felt like heavy bricks crushing the air. Six elite shadow guards from the Blackwood Syndicate were still groaning and bleeding on the marble floor around them, completely broken by Leo’s heavy iron fire poker.I should have burned you to ash five years ago, Beatrice hissed, her voice cracking with pure rage and deep panic. You think you can just walk back into my palace and take my wealth? You think your little martial arts tricks can save you from a real lead bullet? Move a single finger, Leo, and I will blow your heart completely out of your back.Leo stood perfectly still under the bright library lamps. He did not drop the heavy iro
Chapter 38: The Shadow Guard Ambush
Arthur Sterling’s thin fingers clutched Leo’s white uniform with a weak, trembling grip. His eyes were wide with pure, frantic terror as he repeated his dry, scraping whisper. Run, Leo.She knows you are alive. She has hired the elite shadow guards from the Blackwood Syndicate. They are killers. They are hiding inside the walls.Leo did not let go of his father’s cold hand. He squeezed it gently, his face remaining perfectly still and completely fearless. Don't worry, Father, Leo said, his voice quiet but full of an unmovable royal weight. I am no longer the helpless boy they threw into the river. Nobody can hurt me inside this house anymore. Rest now. I will handle the trash.Leo stood up smoothly, adjusting his white cap over his eyes. He picked up his empty medical cooler box and stepped out of the dark basement room, locking the heavy iron door behind him. He knew he had to move fast. His low profile identity was still working, but the two unconscious guards on the floor would be d
Chapter 37: Meeting the Sick Father
The grand dining room of the Sterling mansion was filled with pure, chaotic panic. Beatrice Sterling stared at the dark red flashing screen of the silver laptop, her breath completely stuck in her throat.Thirty percent of her massive family empire had just been frozen flat by a single anonymous sovereign order. The heavy face slapping payback was starting to crush her grand plans from the top down, leaving her feeling utterly exposed.Find out who did this, Beatrice roared, slamming her hand against the silver computer until the screen cracked. She kicked the chair away, her eyes wild like a trapped animal. I don't care what military order it is. Use our contacts in the Blackwood Syndicate to unfreeze that money right now.While the wicked stepmother was screaming at her cowardly elders upstairs, a quiet shadow was already moving through the dark outer gardens of the massive estate.Leo Sterling had not waited for Beatrice to find him. He was already inside her walls. To keep his low
Chapter 36: Panic in the Estate
Beatrice Sterling stared down into the open metal box, her breathing stopping completely. Her beautifully painted lips shook violently, and the expensive black silk gown on her shoulders felt like a heavy weight dragging her into hell.The blood stained white note danced in front of her eyes, its sharp black letters screaming right back at her face.The true heir is coming home. Prepare your neck, Beatrice.The high suspense inside the grand dining room exploded like a real bomb. The twenty elders of the Sterling clan jumped up from their gold plated chairs, their faces turning completely pale white.They crowded around the iron box, their greedy eyes widening in pure horror as they recognized the smashed watches of their top provincial thugs.This is impossible, Elder Marcus stammered, his old hands shaking so hard he dropped his gold plate onto the floor. Leo Sterling was thrown into the river five years ago. He was just a brainless delivery boy in the slums. How could he destroy ou
Chapter 35: The Stepmother’s Dinner
The bright pink sports car tore out of the Capital North Docks, leaving a giant cloud of smelly gray smoke behind. Leo Sterling stood calmly by his wooden desk, watching the dust settle. His face remained completely smooth.He did not care about the silly threats of a spoiled girl like Diana Blackwood. In his eyes, the Blackwood Syndicate was just another stepping stone on his path to total revenge.Director Christian quickly stepped forward, bowing so low his nose almost touched the dirt. My Lord, should I cancel all the shipping lanes connected to the Blackwood family right now? We can crush their local trade before sunset.No, Leo said, his voice quiet but full of absolute power. Let them try their best. When you want to kill a poisonous snake, you must let it stretch out its neck first. Keep monitoring Beatrice’s cargo. I want to know every single thing she moves through this city.Yes, My Lord, Director Christian whispered, his body shivering with deep respect.While Leo was orga
