Seeing the explosive device extracted from his own hospital elevator drained all the color from Mayhew's face. If Elias had actually suffered a fatal incident on his premises, his own fate would have been unimaginably grim. A lingering wave of profound dread washed over the hospital director as he stared at the lethal trap, silently thanking whatever higher power allowed the young man to detect and defuse it in time.Marcus approached with the dismantled device resting heavily in his palms. He reported that it was a remote-controlled explosive, though the detonator had already been safely neutralized by his engineers.Elias reached out, taking the device from Marcus. He examined it with a completely expressionless face, his cold eyes scanning the intricate wiring. "The exterior craftsmanship is rough, but the internal mechanics are highly precise. This was undoubtedly designed by a professional." He could easily deduce the bomb maker's background from the structural style,

Skyler Stanton and Alistair Prescott were on the verge of vomiting blood as they forced the printed manuscripts down their throats. They gagged and choked, looking as though they might suffocate on the dry paper at any given moment. Elias Vance sat completely emotionless, his cold eyes watching the grotesque scene unfold. He intended to sit in that chair until they consumed every last page. Whatever word count they had ordered their staff to blindly produce was exactly what they were going to eat.Taylor Sullivan stepped forward and politely asked for a private word. Elias offered a faint nod of agreement and walked to a quiet corner with the older man."Marshal Vance, my primary reason for coming to Cresthaven was specifically to find you," Taylor explained in a hushed tone."Oh?"

As the director of the Southvale State Propaganda and Oversight Department, he was nearly the highest-ranking official in the state. He could not believe someone dared to show him such a blatant lack of respect. A man in his fifties with a protruding belly, Skyler had a face full of aggressive flesh that made him look like someone who should not be provoked."Are you the kid causing trouble here?" Skyler demanded the moment he spotted Elias Vance sitting calmly in the center of the room, marching straight over and pointing a thick finger right at his nose."Director Stanton!" Alistair Prescott called out, letting out a massive sigh of relief upon seeing the official arrive. With a powerful state leader backing him, this messy situation would be much easier to resolve. Furthermore, Skyler maintained excellent relationships with several influential politicians, giving him immense power and energy t

Harper Sullivan held the rank of lieutenant colonel in the military. Combined with her striking youth, the official credential left the heavily armed police officers completely breathless. Anyone a lieutenant colonel respectfully called a commander had to be a general, a terrifying military figure no local police force dared provoke."Since a military commander is handling official business here, we will certainly not intrude," the lead inspector declared promptly. He turned on his heel without a second of hesitation and marched away.As they retreated toward their cruisers, a junior detective whispered nervously, asking why they were abandoning their direct orders from above."You know absolutely nothing," the inspector hissed, his expression dark and severe. "I have inside channels, and I am only sharing this with you because we are brothers who have bled together. Keep it strictly confidential. A supreme military VIP has arrived in Cresthaven, and some blind fools
