CHAPTER 163
"No," Slayde said flatly, setting his empty glass on the table. "Extra guards will only slow me down. Make sure the board members arrive on time, and have the financial documents ready. We take full control of Malx Holdings tomorrow, with or without Harlyn's interference.""Understood, sir," Viktor said, bowing slightly before turning to leave the dark room.Left alone in the quiet room, Slayde stood up and walked to the big glass window overlooking the bright city skyline.The evening lights reflected in his cold eyes.Harlyn and Dominic were growing desperate, holding on to what was left of a fallen empire.They thought sending a group of armed men would change things, but they were completely wrong.
CHAPTER 162
If she had executed him a year ago, none of this would be happening.Her family would still control Malx Holdings, her money would be safe, and her name would not be ruined.By keeping him alive to satisfy her own cruelty, she had given him time to breathe, wait, and rebuild his empire."I gave him the time he needed to come back," Harlyn whispered, her voice shaking with hatred as she stared at her broken phone on the table. "I kept him alive... and now he's going to destroy us."Dominic looked up from the sofa, watching Harlyn breathe heavily by the window.He cleared his throat, trying to stay calm as he leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees."Harlyn, list
CHAPTER 161
He dragged Mateo down the back hallway and pushed open the exit doors just as three police cars stopped in the alleyway."Police! Don't move! Put your hands up!" the officers shouted, drawing their guns and aiming them at the doorway.Slayde stood tall and calm, keeping his hands visible. He tossed the black gun onto the hood of the lead police car, then pushed Mateo forward.Mateo stumbled into the alley and hit the ground hard, right at the officers' feet."This man fired multiple rounds inside the restaurant and tried to kill me," Slayde announced calmly, adjusting his suit cuffs as the officers rushed to handcuff the groaning hitman. "His gun is on your car, and the bullet holes are in the bathroom wall. My legal team will send over my full statement."Mateo glared up at Slayde from the cold ground, his teeth clenched in humiliation as the police pinned him down.Slayde did not give him a second look. He walked past the flashing red and blue lights, got into his sports car, and
CHAPTER 160
The loud gunshots instantly tore through the quiet restaurant outside.Panicked screams filled the dining room as plates smashed, glasses broke, and wooden chairs flipped over. Diners ran wildly toward the front doors, tripping over each other in fear as women screamed and men ducked under tables."Gunfire! Someone has a gun in the back!" a young man yelled, his voice cracking as he pulled his girlfriend toward the main exit."Get down! Everyone get down!" the restaurant manager screamed, diving behind the wooden host stand. His hands shook as he pulled out his phone, pressing the emergency numbers fast."Emergency line? Send the police now!" the manager gasped into the phone, his eyes wide with fear as he looked down the dark hallway toward the restrooms. "We have an active shooter at the downtown restaurant! Hurry, please!"Outside the building, people on the sidewalk stopped in horror before running away, scared that an attacker might burst through the glass doors.Inside the res
CHAPTER 159
Instead of panicking, Slayde simply followed his normal routine.He pulled a fresh paper towel from the dispenser and slowly dried his fingers one by one. Bending over the sink, he turned on the cold water and splashed his face again, letting it wash away his tiredness. He tossed the wet towel into the bin and used a dry cloth to pat his skin dry. Through all of this, the shadow in the doorway stayed still, waiting for the right moment to strike.Slayde turned off the tap. The room fell silent, except for the soft hum of the air vent above.He slowly turned around and leaned back against the marble counter. Putting his hands into his suit pockets, he looked right at the dark corner where the killer was hiding."Are you going to keep following me?" Slayde asked, his voice low and calm, "or are you actually going to try something today?"The silence stretched before a slow laugh echoed off the walls.A tall figure stepped out from behind a dark wooden partition. The man pulled bac
CHAPTER 158
With Pendleton’s signature on the document, the rest of the board members quickly followed suit, their hands trembling as they wrote their names on the lines.Every single man in the room had a dozen burning questions. They wanted to ask about Slayde’s real background, how he managed to find Pendleton’s secret offshore accounts in a single night, and what other deep secrets he was holding over their heads.Yet, as they looked up at Slayde’s stone-cold face, no one dared to speak a word. The silence in the boardroom was total. They had all realized that this was not a man you questioned; he was a storm you simply survived.Slayde stood up, buttoning his jacket smoothly."Viktor will handle the press release," Slayde said softly, taking his leather gloves from the table. "I expect full cooperation from every single department by tomorrow morning."Without waiting for an answer, Slayde turned and walked out of the boardroom, his heavy footsteps fading down the marble hallway.Meanwhil
