Chapter 341
The city was a beehive of frantic activity, but this time, the buzzing wasn't just the usual urban hum. It was the sound of a scandal breaking, a political earthquake shaking the foundations of power.The first tremors hit before dawn. Max, sipping coffee in his penthouse, watched the early morning news channels. Ronald and Lena were already there, their faces illuminated by the glow of multiple screens."Channel 7 is running with it," Lena said, pointing to a screen where a stern-faced anchor read from a teleprompter. "They're calling it 'Lobbygate.' The 'Citizens for a Better Tomorrow' PAC is being accused of funneling illegal campaign contributions through shell corporations. They're naming names, Max. Big names.""Good," Max said, his voice calm. "Let them name names. The bigger the names, the better."Ronald tapped his tablet. "The ethics committee has already announced an emergency session. They've received an anonymous tip with 'overwhelming evidence.' Our package landed exactl

In a sterile federal office, Agent Gonzalez slammed a file down on his desk. Agent Miller, his second-in-command, flinched slightly."Look at this, Miller!" Gonzalez fumed, pointing at a newspaper headline about the Green Clean scandal. "Max Lucky's empire is crumbling! He's bleeding from within! This 'John Smith' character, this Magnus, is tearing him apart!""Sir, we're still trying to get a read on 'John Smith'," Miller said cautiously. "He seems to have come out of nowhere. And the way he's exposing these things… it's almost too neat. Like someone wants us to see it.""Nonsense!" Gonzalez waved his hand dismissively. "Max is a cornered animal! He's lashing out! Or maybe this 'Smith' is some disgruntled former employee, someone Max screwed over, finally getting his revenge. It doesn't matter *who* he is, Miller! What matters is what he's doing! He's exposing Max's vulnerabilities! He's showing the world that Max Lucky is just a glorified thug playing dress-up!""But sir, our intell

The city hummed, a restless beast under a bruised sky. Max sat at the head of a long, polished table in a secure, soundproof room deep within one of his legitimate office buildings. Across from him sat Lena, her tablet glowing with complex data, and Ronald, his face a mask of calm efficiency. The air was thick with unspoken tension, but Max’s voice was steady, almost casual."Alright," Max began, leaning forward slightly. "Magnus is here. He’s making noise. Vincenzo is in his ear. And Gonzalez is watching. It’s time we used all of them."Lena looked up, her dark eyes meeting Max's. "The plan is ready, Max. We've identified the targets. They're visible enough to draw attention, but ultimately, they're expendable. They won't hurt the core operations.""Good," Max nodded. "Ronald, how's our friend Magnus doing? Is he still convinced he’s playing me?"Ronald allowed himself a small, dry smile. "He's like a dog with a bone, Max. Vincenzo's doing a masterful job of pointing him towards the

"I didn't relish it, Magnus," Max said, his voice hardening. "I took it because Grandma Elenor asked me to. She saw that you were not ready. She saw that if he left it to you, it would all fall apart. She built this family, this network, to last. She knew you would tear it down in a fit of rage or ambition.""And you're so much better?" Magnus sneered. "You're playing nice with the feds now? Letting Gonzalez run roughshod over the city? Letting him target our family's businesses? Grandma Elenor would be ashamed!""Grandma would be pragmatic," Max shot back. "She would understand that times change. Gonzalez is a threat, yes, but one that can be managed. And I am managing him. I've used his ego against him. I've made him chase ghosts while I fortify everything. I'm protecting what Father built, Magnus, not destroying it.""You're protecting your empire," Magnus accused. "Not ours. Not the family's. You've made it yours. You've pushed everyone else out.""Everyone who wasn't loyal, yes,"
Chapter 337
The city was a beast, always hungry, always watching. Magnus felt its familiar pulse as he stepped off the private jet, a ghost in a new skin. "John Smith," his passport read, a name as bland and forgettable as he intended to be, for now. He wore a simple suit, carried a single, unassuming bag. No flash, no fanfare. Just a quiet return.His first move wasn't to a fancy hotel, but to a small, nondescript apartment in a forgotten part of town. It was clean, anonymous, paid for in cash through layers of shell companies Vincenzo had set up. He spent the next few hours just listening. He bought local papers, watched local news, and, most importantly, he started making calls. Not to old friends, not yet. To the fringes. The small-time operators, the street-level informants, the ones who saw everything but were never seen themselves."Hey, it's me," he'd say, his voice carefully modulated, low and steady. "I'm looking for some information. About Lucky Corporations. About Max. What's he up to
Chapter 336
"Deep underground," Max replied. "Completely compartmentalized. Our network is layered, Bucky. Every piece of information, every movement, every dollar is routed through multiple channels. Our intelligence network is embedded so deeply, he won't even know where to begin looking. We've used the distraction of Benson's downfall to fortify every single aspect of our operations. He'll find nothing but dead ends and legitimate businesses.""He'll try to find a weak link," Ronald mused. "Someone who can be pressured, someone who can be turned.""He'll try," Max said, a glint in his eye. "But everyone in our organization knows the score. They're loyal, and they're well compensated. More importantly, they're protected. We've built a system that anticipates these moves. Any pressure he applies will be met with silence, or with perfectly legal explanations.""So we just let him come?" Bucky asked. "Let him waste his resources chasing ghosts?""Exactly," Max confirmed. "He's overplayed his hand
