Without any warning, the system suddenly displayed everything fully. A bright red notification appeared before his eyes, forcing him to stop and stare at the familiar interface.[MISSION GIVEN][Mission: Identify the source responsible for the unauthorized circulation of sensitive pharmaceutical information.][Time Limit: 72 Hours.][Reward: $50,000,000 + 10 Super Points.][Failure: $150,000,000 deducted.][Mission Status: Failed.]Scott froze immediately, his eyes widening as he read the final line. For several seconds, he remained completely motionless, struggling to understand how he had allowed such an important mission to slip from his memory."What the hell?" he muttered, rubbing his forehead in frustration. "How could I possibly forget something this important?"It was only then that everything came rushing back to him. The system had assigned him the mission earlier, but the unexpected attack and the threats surrounding him completely made him forget.He had been so determined

The guard lying on the ground tried to raise his hand, but his fingers barely moved. Instead, he nodded at Scott and closed his eyes, thanking Scott.Scott crouched beside him and checked his breathing again. It was steady now, although he remained weak.“Don't force yourself to speak,” Scott said. “You've survived something that should have killed you within minutes, so give your body time to recover.”The other guard wiped sweat from his forehead and stared at his colleague. “Master, I watched him stop breathing. How did you bring him back without even giving him an injection?”Scott glanced at him before standing. “There are things about medicine you haven't seen yet. What matters is that he's alive, and we need to make sure he stays that way.”“But that liquid,” the guard whispered, “That bastard said even being near him could kill us. Was he telling the truth?”“He wanted you frightened,” Scott replied. “I won't pretend his weapon was harmless, but the substance has been cleared

A red notification flashed across Scott's vision, interrupting his thoughts.Whatever the system had discovered, it had arrived too late to calm him. Still, he had obtained something valuable, a name and the organization behind it, enough evidence to begin exposing his enemies.“They think they can threaten me and erase every trace,” he muttered. “They've made their first mistake by leaving me something to follow.”Scott dismissed the notification and grabbed his phone. He needed to meet Commissioner Alfred, the security officer to whom he had handed Smith and Zaha, before anyone could interfere.Instead of calling Spike, his chauffeur, Scott left with two personal bodyguards and boarded a taxi.After driving some kilometers, the taxi slowed near a busy intersection, where vehicles stood packed together across several lanes.Ten minutes passed without any progress, Scott's patience disappeared. “What is going on?” he demanded. “Why isn't this car moving? We've already wasted ten minut

His breathing grew heavier as he paced angrily across the room. The thought of deliberately poisoning a medical solution meant to save innocent lives filled him with disgust.He couldn't believe the caller had the courage to make such a demand, especially after everything his enemies had already done to him."And after everything you've done, you still have the nerve to order me to release Smith and Zaha?" Scott continued furiously. "You even think you can decide whether I should stay close to Vivian! Who the hell do you think you are?"He stopped walking and pressed the phone harder against his ear. His fingers tightened around the device as he struggled to control his growing anger. His voice dropped slightly, but the fury behind every word became even more frightening."You're a fool for thinking you can give me conditions," Scott declared. "I'm not the Scott Bruce you knew before, and I'm certainly not someone you can threaten into obedience. If you think those threats will fright

Scott ended the call and opened the earlier proposal beside the revised version. The additional details in the second document had appeared after the preliminary information began circulating, suggesting that someone had obtained more material along the way.He examined the dates again, searching for anything that might reveal where the information had entered the network. Crownwell's early involvement made the company worth investigating, but it did not prove that Jason had arranged the leak. Scott needed the original transfer record before he could determine who had received the material and what they had done with it.Several minutes later, his assistant returned with a preliminary access report."Sir, the technical team found an overlooked transfer record while comparing the pharmaceutical files with the recent account activity."Scott immediately held out his hand. "Let me see it," he demanded hesitantly.The assistant placed the report on his desk and pointed to an entry near

Scott placed his phone on the desk after ending the call with his assistant. Jason's determination to secure the pharmaceutical asset had confirmed one thing: Crownwell intended to move quickly, even though the ownership of the commercial rights remained uncertain.Scott opened the reports gathered so far, hoping to find something that could identify the people directing the transaction.The documents showed that the investment opportunity had passed through several intermediaries before reaching interested companies. Each person claimed to have received the information from someone else, leaving Scott with a chain of transactions but no clear starting point. He leaned back in his chair, his expression hardening as he realized how carefully the original source had been concealed."Everyone wants a share of the asset, but nobody wants to explain who authorized the sale," he muttered.”Suddenly, his phone rang, he glanced at the caller, Richard's name appeared on the screen, he answere
