Chapter 335

That afternoon, Eric led a team of police officers to Mr. Sterling’s property just outside town, where Gwen was believed to be held. Earlier, James had called to fill him in on everything that had come to light, including Ben’s capture and confession. It confirmed what the police had suspected all along: an out-of-town gang was indeed behind the kidnapping, rather than Mr. Sterling orchestrating the ruse himself.

Eric suggested involving the police, but James wouldn’t hear of it. He explained to Eric that it could be too risky and insisted it was safer for them to handle it on their own and instead the police should concentrate on finding Gwen.

As they approached the property, Eric and the team moved swiftly, breaching the gate without hesitation. Guns drawn and with quiet coordination, they advanced toward the house, each officer alert and prepared. The silence was tense, broken only by the measured steps as they closed in, determined to locate Gwen and end the standoff.

    Chapter 490 – CrosshairsThe back alley of Emerald Falls industrial district was bathed in flickering neon from a broken streetlight overhead. A rusted service elevator creaked down behind a hollowed-out tech lab—now converted into a digital war room. This was Sasha’s new command post, manned by rogue coders, mercenaries, and darknet legends.Williams entered with the confidence of someone who knew the world owed him. His black overcoat fluttered as he passed armed guards, the dull glow of his tablet screen lighting up his face.“Cut power to EMC’s outer firewall nodes,” he instructed coolly as he stepped into the central chamber. “Then hit the decoy servers. Make it look like a basic smokescreen attack.”Sasha emerged from the shadows, dark lipstick matching her attitude. “You’re really going to war with James Carter’s empire for a biotech startup?”Williams turned her tablet to show Lana’s profile. Then, he tapped again.A pate

    Chapter 489:The lights in James’s office glowed dimly, casting long shadows against the steel-trimmed walls of EMC’s Eastern Command Division. The headquarters hummed faintly, a pulse of servers and high-stakes surveillance in every wall. But the room was otherwise still, cold.James stood alone, back straight, sleeves rolled up, a quiet rage simmering beneath his skin.The secure tablet on his desk beeped, establishing a quantum-encrypted video line. The screen flickered for a moment before Theo appeared.He was seated on a terrace—white-washed walls behind him, the blue dome of Santorini unmistakable over his shoulder. His hair was damp, his cap off for once. A breeze rustled the fronds of a nearby olive tree.James didn’t waste time.“You’re working with Kai.”Theo blinked, his posture stiffening. “No.”“You’re in Santorini. You told me you were in Geneva until tomorrow.”“I had to divert,” Theo said, eyes darting briefly off-camera. “Things moved faster than expected. Ellen’s pre

    Chapter 488: EMC – JAMES’S CALLThe Eastern Command Center at EMC pulsed with quiet intensity—monitors flickering, servers humming, encrypted lines glowing in the gloom. Inside his office, James stood alone, back straight, fury coiled beneath his calm.A secure tablet beeped, initiating a quantum-encrypted video feed.Theo appeared onscreen. He was seated on a terrace—white walls, blue dome in the background. Santorini. He wasn’t hiding.“You’re working with Kai,” James said flatly.Theo blinked. “No.”“You told me you were in Geneva.”“I diverted. Things escalated. Ellen—”“Don’t lie.” James’s voice dropped an octave. “Your signal triangated two hundred meters from Lana’s villa. Gregor says you fed him Ellen’s location.”Theo opened his mouth, then paused. He ran a hand through his damp hair.“You don’t understand. Kai wasn’t just building trackers. He found a backdoor into Carter Comb’s security lattice. Lana has the key. If that data leaks—”James’s eyes narrowed. “So you’re protec

    Chapter 487: SANTORINI – ELLEN’S PLANThe sea breeze drifted through the open windows, but the air inside the villa was thick with tension. Ellen moved quickly, stuffing shirts and documents into a weathered leather duffel. Her fingers trembled as she slid Lana’s backup passport into the side pocket. She’d rehearsed this escape for weeks—just in case. Now it was real.“We don’t have time,” she said, voice tight. “If Gregor knows, then Theo does too. We leave tonight.”Behind her, Lana stood rooted, arms crossed, defiance burning in her eyes.“I’m not running,” she said, her voice low and firm.Ellen looked up sharply. “This isn’t about pride. It’s survival.”“You think I don’t know that? But Kai didn’t die so we could vanish and hope the storm passes. If Theo betrayed us, I’m not letting him win.”Ellen dropped the duffel and crossed the room in two strides, gripping Lana by the shoulders.“This isn’t about Kai anymore. If we stay, we’re not just targets—we’re leverage. And you… you’r

    Chapter 486SANTORINI – ELLEN’S PLANThe small villa trembled with tension as Ellen threw clothes into a weathered duffel bag. Her hands shook with each movement—whether from fear or fury, even she couldn’t tell. Outside, the Aegean shimmered beneath the harsh midday sun, serene and blameless in its beauty. Inside, chaos."Lana, we have to go now," Ellen hissed, snapping the zipper closed. She looked up. Lana stood in the doorway, arms folded, jaw locked.“I’m not running,” Lana said, her voice like tempered steel.Ellen stepped closer, desperation rising like bile. “He knows. Theo’s compromised. That message from Gregor confirms it. If we stay, we’re handing ourselves over.”Lana’s eyes flashed with fury. “You think I’ll abandon Kai’s work because of a threat? You taught me better.”Ellen exhaled sharply, pushing her palm against her temple. “This isn’t idealism, Lana. This is survival. You don’t know what Theo’s capable of.”“I know exactly what he’s capable of.” Lana’s voice droppe

    Chapter 485Emerald Falls – Gregor’s StakeoutThe cliffs above Emerald Falls were bathed in twilight, the setting sun casting long shadows across the coastal cliffs. Below, the waves hissed against jagged stone like secrets being whispered to the earth. A single, battered sedan sat hidden beneath a canopy of pine, engine cold, windows dark.Inside, Gregor crouched behind the steering wheel, a grizzled silhouette in a worn trench coat. His beard was trimmed short, gray peppering his temples. His face — lined by years in covert surveillance — betrayed no emotion as he adjusted his binoculars, trained on a small marina at the edge of the cliffs.Santorini. Or rather, the safe harbor just beyond it. Remote, quiet, and — until recently — insignificant.Through his binoculars, Gregor locked onto two men.Theo. Cap pulled low. Nervous energy coiled in his frame.And across from him, unmistakably — Kai.Gregor’s jaw tightened.Kai was supposed to be dead. At least that was what the files clai
