“Phantom Reiss…” he said slowly, letting the name linger like a sour taste.“New Ember City’s underworld boss…?”He let out a short laugh — sharp and mocking.“You don’t exactly look the part.”Behind him, the eight Vorn men burst into quiet, mirthless laughter.Controlled. Measured.Like they’d all rehearsed it before.Phantom’s jaw tightened. His fists clenched by his side, but he didn’t move forward. His men stood at the ready behind him, but even they were visibly shaken.Phantom spoke, voice tense.“Sorry, but… what exactly do you people want?”“You just crashed into my compound and shattered my damn gate — and now you're standing here grinning like it’s a carnival. What’s your purpose?”The pale man tilted his head slightly, the faint smile never leaving his lips.His fingers tapped against his thigh in rhythm, almost like counting down to something.“Take over?” Phantom repeated, his brows furrowed, voice thick with disbelief.The pale man didn’t blink.“Yes,” he said flatly. “

His men raised their weapons instantly, yelling and scrambling toward cover, eyes locked on the now-sparking wreck at the gate.Felix, heart pounding, took a few steps back in shock.Elijah remained seated. Unmoving. Eyes narrowed, locked on the scene—cold, calculating.The front of the crashed car hissed with smoke, the hood folded and glass shattered.As the dust began to settle, the full shape of the vehicle came into view.It wasn’t just any car — it was a mini bus, its front hood crushed from the impact, smoke curling from the engine. The body was dark grey, armored around the edges, and painted roughly along the side was a strange symbol — a red fang with a black eye carved into the center, surrounded by crude slashes as if clawed in with blades.Elijah’s eyes fixed on it.Phantom’s expression changed instantly.His face tensed.His eyes widened.“No...” he muttered.He took a step forward, raising his pistol instinctively.“Everyone alert!” he shouted to his men, his voice cutt

Elijah sat silently on the BMW hood for a moment, the faintest smirk pulling at the corner of his lips.He brought the phone back to his ear.“Let’s just say,” he replied casually, eyes watching Phantom’s car pull in through the gate, “I know a few people.”Then his voice dropped slightly, colder now — deliberate.“And Nathaniel… don’t forget who put you in that room.”Before Nathaniel could say more, the call ended.Phantom Reiss’s matte-black Jeep rolled smoothly into the compound, the sound of its engine low and ominous. The vehicle came to a clean halt a few feet from the BMW, dust swirling lightly around its wheels.The doors opened.Phantom stepped out first — tall, dark shades over his eyes, a visible pistol tucked firmly into the side of his pants, the grip jutting out from under his loose black shirt. Two of his men followed behind, just as armed, scanning the compound as a routine.But the moment Phantom’s eyes landed on Elijah, casually seated on the hood of the BMW…He fro

Isla gave a slow nod. “You can,” she said simply. “Make it public if you like. Just know — now that you're with Dominion… the world will be watching.”Nathaniel smiled wide, standing to his feet. “That’s exactly what I’ve been waiting for.”Meanwhile, on the highway just outside the city, the sleek black BMW hummed softly as it cut through the lanes with precision. The sun glinted off its polished body, and inside the vehicle, the atmosphere was calm.Felix was behind the wheel, wearing a casual white tee and dark jeans, his eyes focused on the road. In the front passenger seat, Elijah sat comfortably reclined, dressed too relaxed for a man of his influence — a loose black hoodie over a white shirt, grey joggers, and a pair of sleek black slides. He had one arm resting against the window, his other hand lazily tapping his knee in rhythm with the music playing softly in the background.He turned slightly toward Felix.“Are we done with the police station renovation?” Elijah asked, his

Nathaniel’s expression changed from the smile to a slight straight face.She looked him dead in the eye.“That kind of valuation might impress VCs in a demo room. But here at Dominion, we don’t throw money at speculative projections tied to early-stage tech platforms with inconsistent testing and no proven profit flow.”She paused, letting it sink in.“You’re asking for a lion’s share of our resources without offering proportional control or guaranteed returns.”Then, her tone shifted—not closed, but challenging.“Unless you’re willing to revisit your equity offer, or provide stronger security around returns, I don’t see us moving forward.”Nathaniel swallowed hard, his palms beginning to sweat slightly as he straightened in his seat.“Ms. Delaney,” he began carefully, keeping his tone respectful but earnest, “I understand your concern. I truly do. But the 30% valuation wasn’t arbitrary. We’ve spent three years building the architecture, burning through our own capital, and securing t

“Thank you, ma’am,” Nathaniel said as he took his seat, carefully placing the file on his lap before looking up again. “Truly, I’m honored to be here in front of the CEO of Dominion Group. I never even dreamt I’d get a chance like this.”Isla didn’t smile or show much emotion. She simply nodded slightly, her posture elegant and commanding.“I heard you have an investment proposal,” she said, her tone crisp and businesslike. “Let me see it.”“Yes, of course,” Nathaniel replied quickly, opening the file and carefully handing over the neatly organized documents.Isla took them without a word, flipping the first page and beginning to read. The room fell into a quiet tension as her eyes scanned the content—line by line, figure by figure—analyzing everything with clinical precision.Nathaniel sat still, hands folded in his lap, trying to mask the anxious flutter in his chest. This was the moment that could define the next chapter of his life.As Isla Delaney flipped through the last few pag
