Chapter 343
The city, still reeling from the political bombshell Max had dropped, barely had time to catch its breath before another storm brewed. The red alerts on Ronald's tablet painted a grim picture: the Becker twins, cornered and desperate, were making their final, violent move. Max, ever the strategist, had anticipated it."They're coming for us, Max," Ronald's voice was tight, his fingers flying across the tablet's screen, bringing up live feeds from hidden cameras around the Elm Street warehouse.Max stood by the large window of his penthouse, looking down at the sprawling industrial district. His face was calm, but his eyes held a sharp, dangerous glint. "And we're ready for them."He had prepared the Elm Street facility not just for storage, but for a fight. His most loyal men, the ones who had been with him since the beginning, were already in position. Bucky, Ronald's right-hand man and a mountain of muscle, was leading the ground team."Ronald, confirm all entry points are secured,"
Chapter 342
Gonzalez spent the day holed up in his office, barking orders, making frantic calls, and watching his world crumble around him. His phone rang again. It was Senator Davies, the man who had hung up on Vance earlier."Senator," Gonzalez said, trying to keep his voice steady."Gonzalez, this is a disaster! A complete and utter catastrophe!" Davies's voice was cold, devoid of any past warmth. "My office is being flooded with calls. My constituents are furious. And the press… they're asking about my campaign donations from 'Citizens for a Better Tomorrow'!""Senator, I assure you, I had no knowledge of any illegal activities within the PAC," Gonzalez pleaded."I don't care what you knew, Gonzalez! What matters is what it *looks* like! It looks like I was bought and paid for! It looks like *you* were bought and paid for! I'm holding a press conference in an hour. I'm going to announce that I'm fully cooperating with all investigations, and that I'm calling for a complete and thorough review
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
Chapter 340
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
Chapter 339
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
Chapter 338
"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,"
