#139 A Madman's Laughter
"Mr. Greenwood? What is the meaning of this disrespect?" a council executive reprimanded, shocked and offended by the forced invasion.Jack ignored the reprimand. He marched straight to the podium where Gareth stood, then slammed a thick folder containing hundreds of printed pages onto the round table with a loud thud."I have to interrupt this ridiculous joke, Generals, because we have a far more disgusting problem in this room." Jack's voice sounded as cold as ice, echoing through the suddenly silent room.Jack stared directly into Gareth's eyes, radiating pure disgust."Gareth Olympus did not fake this national security threat status for money alone," Jack declared loudly, ensuring every syllable reached the corners of the room."His personal computer secretly siphoned data illegally. And when our investigative team confiscated it this morning, we found more than just evidence of military financial manipulation..."Jack paused his speech for a moment, letting the tension peak in th
#138 The Trojan Horse Strikes
Inside the National Security Council's meeting room, a positive tension filled the air.A giant crystal chandelier illuminated the faces of dozens of high-ranking officers and ministry officials seated around the massive mahogany round table.At the head of the table, Gareth Olympus stood tall behind the podium. He wore his finest suit, projecting absolute authority and confidence. Today marked the official presentation of the digital asset takeover from Delizco, and he had just reached the core of his explanation."This technology, gentlemen, poses a massive threat if we allow it to fall into private hands," Gareth's voice boomed with conviction.He scanned the room, soaking in the satisfied gazes of several generals who had previously served on the tender evaluation team.Those generals felt zero objections to the unilateral seizure and allowed Gareth free rein, as the action ultimately did not harm the military. Regardless of the path, the program would still end up in the governme
#137 The Perfect Ally
Seth strode down a corridor of BioCore he rarely visited—the drug-testing area.The last time he had been there was when he dragged Morgan in. Now, Dr. Patel had moved the doctor to a restricted underground facility, leaving Seth with almost no reason to return to this area.Except for today. He needed to meet a special guest.At the far end of the testing ward sat a VVIP treatment room, boasting luxury that surpassed any private hospital suite. Seth had personally ordered the construction of this room to accommodate one man who visited routinely.Initially, the man came once a week, though the frequency had decreased as his body steadily recovered.Seth knocked on the white door. An answer came instantly, as he had already scheduled an appointment."Come in."Seth walked in casually, smiling as he saw Jack Greenwood sitting on the sofa, reading the morning paper. The veteran politician looked significantly healthier.Color had returned to his face, erasing the deadly fatigue caused b
#136 The Trojan Awakens
Chloe sat restlessly in her swivel chair—for once, her hands remained still, and she wasn't playing the games she usually never abandoned during her free time.Chloe kept staring at her monitor, her eyes bloodshot from sleep deprivation. "Why isn't it connected yet?! Dammit."Whenever boredom set in while waiting, Chloe would curse, forcing Seth—who sat on the sofa reviewing work reports on his tablet—to look up."Be patient," Seth offered wise advice, even though his own mind grew just as restless as Chloe's.They returned to waiting in silence. But that could never last long, for Chloe could never stay calm while waiting.After fifteen minutes passed with zero signs, panic began to creep over Chloe."What if Uncle Gareth doesn't take the bait?" Chloe bit her thumbnail. "What if he doesn't copy it and hands the flash drive straight to the state? Our plan will shatter into pieces, Seth."Seth set his tablet down and looked at Chloe calmly. He felt restless waiting, but not anxious. "H
#135 A Snake's Ambition
Gareth Olympus accepted the silver flash drive from Bradford’s hand with a wide grin that revealed all his front teeth. His eyes gleamed with absolute satisfaction."Good job, Bradford," Gareth praised as he tossed the flash drive to his personal assistant. "Copy that program to my private server right now."His assistant moved swiftly, plugging the device into the laptop Gareth usually used for work—strictly for light tasks such as typing or reviewing documents.Gareth himself paid little attention to the copying process. He lacked any deep understanding of IT, using laptops only for basic daily tasks."You planned all of this brilliantly, Mr. Olympus," Bradford praised, bowing slightly with a sycophantic smile. "That loser from Delizco practically wept in the lobby when I threatened him with treason charges. And Seth Corbyn? He handed over this program like an obedient dog. He offered zero resistance, completely meek and sweet."Gareth chuckled softly, picking up a cigar from his d
#134 A Flawless Surrende
Wayne stood alone in the middle of the Delizco office lobby. He had given all the employees the day off, knowing a group of special guests would arrive today.Yet, cold sweat still drenched his back as he faced a squad of fully uniformed military officers stepping out of the elevator."Seth... where are you?" Wayne muttered, while slowly approaching the group of three officers."Good afternoon. You arrived early," Wayne greeted them with a polite smile, but the squad leader merely scowled in return."I did not arrive early. I planned to arrive exactly at this minute," the man snapped coldly."Mr..." Wayne squinted at the name tag pinned to the man's chest. "Mr. Bradford, could you wait just a little longer?"Wayne desperately tried to buy some time. He had contacted Seth ten minutes ago, but he had not yet appeared, and panic slowly gnawed at his defenses. The imposing presence of those military uniforms easily intimidated him."Did we not state clearly that we would come today after
