As Marcus regained his strength and color returned to his face, Yemin turned to Patterson and the security team with urgent instructions."Marcus should be stable now that he's received the antidote, but he needs immediate medical evaluation to ensure there are no lasting effects from the poisoning.""Thank you, sir," Patterson replied with obvious gratitude. "Without your intervention, Mr. Chen would certainly be dead. We owe you an enormous debt.""Just get him to the hospital and make sure he's properly monitored for the next twenty-four hours. Some exotic poisons can have delayed secondary effects.""We'll take him to Presbyterian immediately. Their toxicology department is the best in the city."As the security team carefully helped Marcus toward the exit, Yemin grabbed the assassin by the arm and pulled her to her feet."You're coming with me," he said firmly.The woman laughed in his face with contemptuous amusement. "You think you've won something here tonight, don't you? You

Yemin pushed through the panicking crowd toward the elderly woman who was cowering against the wall, tears streaming down her face as guests continued to shout accusations at her."Please! I swear I didn't do anything!" the woman sobbed. "I don't even know what you're talking about! I just came here to support the children's hospital!""Let me see your purse," Yemin commanded, snatching the handbag from her trembling hands."Of course! Search everything! I have nothing to hide!"Yemin rifled through the contents and immediately found a small vial filled with clear liquid tucked between her wallet and cosmetics case. The woman's eyes went wide with shock when she saw it."What is that? I've never seen that before in my life! How did that get in my purse?""You're telling me you don't know how this poison ended up in your bag?""Poison? Oh my God, no! I swear on my children's lives, I have never seen that thing before! Someone must have put it there!"Yemin studied the woman's face care

Yemin turned to Patterson and the security team with urgent authority. "I need you to organize all the guests into a single group and start sending them to me one at a time for questioning and search.""Sir, that's going to cause even more protests," Patterson warned. "These people aren't accustomed to being treated like suspects.""I don't care about their comfort levels. Marcus is dying, and his killer is in this room. Start with the people who were closest to the stage during his speech."The poison is too sophisticated for a hospital antidote, Yemin calculated as he watched Marcus's breathing become increasingly labored. But whoever used it would never handle such a deadly contact toxin without carrying the specific antidote."Alright, everyone!" Patterson called out to the crowd. "We need you to form a line for security screening. This is temporary, but necessary for everyone's safety.""Security screening?" exploded a woman in diamonds. "I've never been so insulted in my entire

The ballroom fell into stunned silence as Marcus lay motionless on the stage, his breathing becoming more labored with each passing second. The earlier chaos from the falling light fixture was immediately forgotten as everyone stared at the unconscious billionaire."What's happening to him?" asked a woman in the front row. "He was fine just moments ago!""Is he having a heart attack?" called out another guest. "Someone needs to call an ambulance!""The stress from nearly being crushed must have triggered a cardiac episode!" suggested a hedge fund manager. "That kind of shock could kill a man his age!"Marcus's security team immediately sprang into action, surrounding the stage and preparing to move their employer. The head of security, a large man named Patterson, began coordinating evacuation procedures."Get the car ready for immediate transport to Presbyterian Hospital!" Patterson barked into his radio. "We need the fastest route possible!""Wait!" Yemin commanded with an authority
Chapter 111
Yemin arrived at the Grand Metropolitan Hotel with his heart pounding, abandoning his car with the valet and rushing directly toward the hotel's main entrance. The security checkpoint that would normally require invitation verification posed no challenge to someone with his skills and determination."Excuse me, sir, I need to see your invitation," called out one of the security guards as Yemin approached the ballroom doors."Emergency situation. Life and death," Yemin replied curtly, using a combination of confident body language and urgent tone to bypass the guard's resistance."Sir, I really need to check—"But Yemin was already pushing through the ornate double doors into the fundraising gala, his eyes immediately scanning the crowded ballroom for Marcus. The event was in full swing, with hundreds of the city's elite mingling over cocktails and hors d'oeuvres while a string quartet provided elegant background music.To his immense relief, Yemin spotted Marcus near the center of the

Yemin pressed himself against the maintenance corridor wall, straining to catch every word of the conversation taking place in the conference room. The voices were muffled but audible enough for him to piece together the discussion."Gentlemen, thank you all for attending tonight's emergency session," came a voice Yemin recognized as Jonathan Blackwood. "We have a critical situation that requires immediate resolution.""Is this about the Henderson Industries acquisition?" asked another voice. "I thought that deal was already finalized.""Unfortunately, no. We've encountered an unexpected obstacle that threatens to derail months of careful planning.""What kind of obstacle?" demanded a third speaker with obvious irritation. "We've invested significant resources in positioning ourselves for this takeover.""The obstacle has a name: Marcus Chen."Marcus? Yemin's blood ran cold as he heard his longtime ally's name mentioned in the context of a Sphinx operation."Chen has been blocking our
