“So, Chen’s not just trying to take over our businesses,” Max continued, turning back to the whiteboard, circling the industrial complex. “He’s trying to dismantle us. To make us suffer the same way he believes we made him suffer. He’s not after money; he’s after vengeance. This whole ‘Architect’ persona, the elaborate schemes, the personal attacks… it all makes sense now. It’s a vendetta.”

Sarai’s face paled. “If it’s revenge, then he won’t stop until he feels he’s balanced the scales. And that means he won’t just hurt our businesses; he’ll hurt us personally.”

“He already has,” Bucky reminded them, thinking of the attacks, the constant fear, the lives lost.

“But this changes everything,” Max said. “If it’s revenge, then his goal isn’t just to win; it’s to destroy. And he’ll be more dangerous, more unpredictable, because he’s driven by emotion, not just logic.”

The realization of Chen’s true motive cast a long shadow over the bunker. The air grew heavy with a new kind of urgency.

    "A weapon I'm not allowed to use!" Magnus retorted, turning to face him, his eyes blazing. "He took everything from me! My home, my position, my reputation! He made me a laughingstock, a ghost! And you tell me to be patient? While he celebrates his wedding, no less!""And what would you have us do, Magnus?" Vincenzo asked, his voice even, unruffled. "Charge in blindly? Send in a legion of men to attack a fortified wedding, surrounded by his most loyal enforcers and likely federal agents? That would be suicide. And it would achieve nothing but confirming his power and our desperation.""It would send a message!" Magnus insisted, slamming his fist lightly on the window frame. "It would show him that I am not broken! That I am still a force to be reckoned with!""A message of impulsiveness, perhaps," Vincenzo countered, his gaze unwavering. "A message that you are predictable. Max Lucky is not a fool. He anticipates direct attacks. He prepares for them. What he does not anticipate is the

    "Gone?" Max repeated, a cold knot tightening in his stomach. "How? Did anyone see him leave?""No one saw him exit through any of the controlled points," Ronald interjected. "He must have had a pre-planned escape route, or someone helped him slip out through an unsecured service entrance we didn't know about. We're reviewing all internal and external camera footage, but it's a massive building, and there are blind spots.""What about his identity?" Max pressed."Fake credentials," Marco confirmed, shaking his head. "The name on the uniform tag, the ID badge he was wearing – all bogus. The catering company confirmed he wasn't on their roster. He was an uninvited guest, Max. A plant."Max clenched his jaw. "And the spill? An accident?""Highly unlikely," Ronald stated. "The way he moved, the way he 'stumbled'... it was too deliberate. And that smirk I saw, just before he ducked into the kitchen. He knew exactly what he was doing.""So, what was the point?" Max mused, his gaze distant. "

    As the evening progressed, the energy in the ballroom remained high. Max, despite his earlier anxieties, was genuinely enjoying himself, caught up in the celebration. He even managed to relax a little, sharing jokes with old friends and dancing with Trisha.Suddenly, the lights in a section of the ballroom, near the far wall where some of the less prominent guests were seated, flickered violently. They dimmed, then brightened, then went completely dark for a heart-stopping second before snapping back on. A few gasps rippled through the crowd, quickly followed by nervous laughter.Max's head snapped up, his eyes immediately scanning the room. His smile vanished, replaced by a look of intense focus. He spotted Ronald making his way quickly through the crowd, his earpiece already pressed to his ear.Ronald reached Max, his voice low and urgent. "Max, we had a localized power surge on circuit three. It tripped the breakers in that section. Marco's team rerouted power immediately. It was b

    The grand organ music swelled, a majestic, triumphant sound that filled the opulent ballroom, momentarily eclipsing the murmurs of the crowd and the anxieties that gnawed at Max. All eyes turned to the back of the aisle, where Trisha appeared, bathed in the soft glow of the chandeliers. She was a vision, radiant and ethereal in her intricate gown, her smile shining with pure, unadulterated joy.Max felt a wave of emotion wash over him, a powerful current that swept away his usual guardedness. For a precious few moments, the threats, the surveillance, the political maneuvers, all faded into the background. There was only Trisha, walking towards him, her eyes locked with his, promising a future he desperately craved. He took a deep, steadying breath, his heart swelling with a love so profound it almost hurt.As Trisha reached the altar, her father gently placed her hand in Max’s. Max squeezed it, a silent promise passing between them. The officiant, a kindly man with a warm smile, began

    The main ballroom was a breathtaking spectacle. Chandeliers dripped with crystals, casting a warm glow over tables adorned with elaborate floral arrangements of white roses and lilies. Hundreds of guests, dressed in their finest, mingled, their laughter and chatter filling the vast space. It was a symphony of opulence and power, a clear statement of Max Lucky's standing in the city. Every detail, from the engraved silverware to the live string quartet, screamed wealth and influence.Among the crowd, Tommy Becker, impeccably dressed in a custom-tailored suit but with an air of barely contained aggression, surveyed the scene. His eyes, sharp and calculating, missed nothing. His brother, Bobby, a hulking figure with a less subtle demeanor, stood beside him, occasionally grunting in response to Tommy's observations, looking slightly overwhelmed by the sheer grandeur."Look at this, Bobby," Tommy murmured, his eyes scanning the room, taking in every face, every detail. "Max Lucky certainly

    The morning air, usually crisp and cool in the city, felt heavy with anticipation. Sunlight streamed through the tall windows of the bridal suite, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air and the shimmering fabric of Trisha’s wedding dress, hanging like a cloud of ivory silk. Trisha herself was a bundle of nervous energy, her laughter bubbling up one moment, a sigh escaping her the next."Oh my goodness, I can't believe this is happening!" Trisha exclaimed, twirling slightly in front of the full-length mirror, her hair already styled in soft waves around her shoulders. "It feels like a dream. A very, very expensive, well-planned dream!"Sarah, Ronald's girlfriend and one of Trisha's closest friends, chuckled, adjusting a stray curl near Trisha's ear. "It's real, sweetie. And you look absolutely stunning. Max is going to lose his mind." Sarah, always practical, was already dressed in her bridesmaid's gown, a soft blush pink that complemented the venue's floral arrangements.Lena, the
