Chapter 161
The city was abuzz with the startling update: the fresh CEO of the Lucky Corporation had been gunned down at the September 10th Ball, the annual highlight. People murmured on the streets, in cafes, and in bars, gossiping about the condition of the two influential families, both still reeling from recent murders. Lena exited the black car parked outside Nathan's secure residence and walked into the safe house with deliberate and purposeful steps. Nathan was in a chair in a dimly lit room, with only a single bulb casting a harsh light. He gazed upwards, his eyes widening as Lena walked in, holding a gun."Lena, please--" Nathan began, his voice trembling."Shut up," Lena snapped, pointing the gun directly at his head. "I'm done with your lies. It's time for the truth."Nathan's breath hitched. "I-I told you, I don't know anything more!"Lena's eyes blazed with fury. "You expect me to believe that? After Max was shot? You think I'm that stupid?"Nathan swallowed hard, his mind racing. "L

The room fell silent at Vincenzo’s claim to be the interim CEO, while Max was in the hospital."Son, this isn't the time for power grabs. We need to focus on Max's recovery," Evelyn said.Vincenzo's expression hardened. "And while we wait, our enemies will strike. We can't afford to be leaderless."Magnus stepped forward, supporting Vincenzo's claim. "He's right. We need someone to take charge, if only temporarily."Bucky, who had been quiet until now, spoke up. "But what about the rest of us? We should decide this together, not just hand over power."Ronald, standing near the doorway, nodded in agreement. "Bucky’s right. This is a decision for the entire family."Vincenzo's eyes flicked to Magnus, who gave a subtle nod of encouragement. "I'm not suggesting a corporate takeover. Just... a temporary measure. Until Max is back on his feet."Evelyn sighed, rubbing her temples. "Alright. Let's discuss this rationally. We need to ensure the family remains united."Evelyn took a deep breath
Chapter 159
Ronald and Nathan dragged Kill Shot through the courtyard, their grip firm but their minds racing. They needed answers, but more importantly, they needed to ensure Kill Shot didn't escape."Keep an eye on him," Ronald instructed Nathan, his voice low and urgent as he took Ferdinand's phone out of his coat pocket. There was only one number on the phone, with the name contractor. Ronald continues "We can't let him slip away ."Nathan nodded, his eyes never leaving their captive. Kill Shot's expression was one of grim determination, even as he stumbled along with his hands bound.As they approached the manor, Ferdinand's phone buzzed. Ronald glanced at the screen and saw a message from an unknown number: "Ross is on his way. Get ready."Ronald's heart skipped a beat. Ross was one of their most trusted men and an influential contractor, but if he was involved in this..."Something's not right," Ronald said, his voice tense. "We need to move faster."Suddenly, Kill Shot, lunged, using his

Meanwhile, back at the Lucky manor, Ronald and Nathan were on the hunt. They moved through the darkened hallways, their footsteps echoing in the silence. They burst through the door, finding themselves in a dimly lit courtyard. The figure was already halfway across, moving swiftly."Stop right there!" Ronald shouted, raising his gun.The figure froze, then slowly turned around. It was Kill Shot, his face partially obscured by a hood."Well, well," Ferdinand sneered. "Looks like I've got company."Ronald's eyes narrowed. "You're not getting away with this."Ferdinand laughed, a cold, chilling sound. "You think you can stop me?"Ronald’s voice shook as he spoke. "We have the entire place on lockdown. You can't escape."Ferdinand smirked. "We'll see about that."Before Ronald could react, Ferdinand threw a smoke bomb at their feet. Thick, black smoke filled the air, obscuring their vision. Ronald coughed, trying to see through the haze."Nathan, stay close!" Ronald shouted, but there was
Chapter 157
In the sterile, white-walled hospital room, the atmosphere was thick with anxiety. The constant beeping of monitors in the hospital room filled the silence as Trisha sat beside Max's bed, clutching his hand. His face was pale, his breaths shallow. Evelyn sat across the bed with wet tissues in her hand, Vincenzo stood near the doorway, his expression carefully composed."Trisha, you should take a break," Vincenzo suggested, his voice gentle. "You haven't left his side for hours. You too mother, it not good for your health.""I can't," Trisha replied, her voice strained. "I need to be here when he wakes up."Evelyn sighed, stepping closer. "I understand my dear. But you need to take care of yourself too."Before Trisha could respond, the door swung open and Lena entered, her face a mask of determination. She glanced at Vincenzo, then at Trisha and Evelyn."How is he?" Lena asked, her voice barely above a whisper."Stable, for now," Evelyn replied, her eyes never leaving Max's face. "But
Chapter 156
The sterile smell of antiseptic filled the air as Vincenzo, Evelyn and Trisha rushed into the hospital. The bright fluorescent lights felt harsh after the dimness of the tunnel and the chaos of the mansion. Nurses and doctors moved with practiced urgency, tending to various patients.They moved Bucky in a private room, lying on a hospital bed. He had a bandage wrapped around his head, and his face was pale but relaxed. A nurse was checking his vitals when they entered."How is he?" Evelyn asked, her voice tinged with worry.The nurse smiled reassuringly. "He is going to be fine. He has a concussion, but he'll recover with some rest."Relief washed over her, but it was tempered by her concern for Max. Evelyn gently squeezed Bucky's hand. "You're a tough one, Bucky."He opened his eyes slowly, a weak smile forming on his lips. "Takes more than a bump on the head to keep me down."Trisha stood by the bed, trying to keep her composure. "What about Max? How is he?"The nurse's smile faded
