The Cartel Court 2
The word hit the room like a gunshot. Nobody spoke afterward, nor moved. Even the council members looked stunned now.Ezra’s face darkened instantly with visible fury.“What!”Moreno lowered his head briefly:“Transit containers” “Unregistered” “No documentation”Desmond felt something cold settle heavily inside his chest: Jane Archer didn’t disappear because of ordinary smuggling.She discovered human trafficking operating through cartel infrastructure.And somehow, Liam’s empire had been used without his knowledge.Nobody inside the Cartel Court spoke for several long seconds after Moreno’s confession. The silence felt different now. It felt heavier and ugly.Ezra looked ready to put a bullet through Moreno immediately.“You’re telling me”, he said slowly, dangerously, “children were moved through our harbor routes?”Moreno didn’t answer immediately, that hesitation alone was enough evidence.Ezra stepped forward instantly, rage finally breaking through his control, but Scorpion blo
The Cartel Court 1
Nobody spoke again after Desmond’s final instruction.“We follow quietly. No engagement unless absolutely necessary”Scorpion nodded once before turning toward the tactical terminal immediately. Ezra grabbed his weapon from the side compartment while Ghost Team tracking feeds expanded across multiple monitors.Moreno’s vehicle continued moving steadily toward the harbor district.Desmond watched the blinking signal silently.“Warehouse Seventeen”, everything kept leading back there.*********Nearly one hour later, three black vehicles entered the underground access tunnel beneath the industrial harbor.The convoy passed through multiple armed checkpoints before finally stopping beside a reinforced steel security gate hidden beneath an abandoned shipping warehouse.Desmond stepped out first. The place was different from Liam’s penthouse, it was made with only concrete walls, armed guards and silence.This was the real heart of Liam Andrew’s empire.Scorpion walked beside him calmly wh
The Silent Trap
The following day passed quietly. Inside organizations like Liam Andrew’s shadow cartel, silence was rarely called peace. Usually, it meant somebody dangerous was waiting patiently.Rain continued falling across the city while the penthouse tactical chamber remained dimly illuminated by operational monitors. Convoy schedules, financial routes, humanitarian transfers and surveillance reports rotated slowly across multiple screens.Nobody inside the room relaxed anymore. Not after what they discovered.Scorpion stood beside the central terminal while reviewing encrypted deployment channels. Ezra remained seated near the wall with his arms folded tightly, watching every operational update carefully.Desmond stayed near the glass windows overlooking the storm-covered skyline, thinking.The deeper he stepped into Liam’s world, the more he understood something uncomfortable:Liam survived because he never trusted appearances.Scorpion finally spoke first, “The schedules are ready.”Desmond
The Internal Leak
The tactical chamber remained silent for a long time after Liam’s recording ended.Rain continued crashing heavily outside the penthouse windows while the monitors glowed quietly in the darkness.Nobody spoke immediately, because the situation had become far worse than any of them expected. Not only had Liam suspected betrayal before the accident…he had already known the organization was compromised from inside.Scorpion finally moved first. He disconnected the video archive carefully before opening another secured operational system hidden beneath the main terminal. Multiple encrypted files appeared across the screen instantly; Humanitarian routes, convoy schedules, medical extraction records and safehouse movements.Ezra folded his arms while staring at the monitor, “So where do we start?”Scorpion’s expression remained calm, but colder now:“We stop thinking emotionally.”Desmond quietly glanced toward him, that sentence sounded familiar. Almost exactly like what Liam had warned in
The Man Everyone Misjudged
Nobody moved for several seconds after the final sentence on the monitor finished rendering.“If my convoy is hit after leaving the presidential residence, assume it was planned.”The room felt colder afterward. Ezra slowly looked away from the screen first, his jaw still tight with restrained anger. “So Liam knew,” he muttered quietly.Scorpion remained motionless beside the terminal, “He suspected,” he corrected calmly. “Not confirmed”Desmond stared silently at the encrypted document while thoughts collided violently inside his mind. Because now the tragedy surrounding Liam Andrew no longer resembled political betrayal alone, it resembled isolation.The real Liam had discovered infiltration inside his own organization, uncovered foreign interference through the Black Fangs, lost presidential trust, had his accounts frozen, and walked into danger completely alone while the world mocked him as an irresponsible heir. And somehow, he still continued funding humanitarian operations unt
The Truth behind the Accident
Shortly after midnight of the following day, Desmond arrived once again at Liam Andrew’s private penthouse, while Ezra followed silently behind him as usual. The moment the elevator doors opened, Scorpion was already waiting near the hidden tactical chamber. His expression alone told Desmond this was not another ordinary training night.“You found something?” Desmond asked calmly while removing his coat. Scorpion nodded once:“The files.”Desmond stopped briefly. Immediately, memories resurfaced from their earlier conversation a few weeks ago: About the minister of justice’s son he met during his swearing in, Barrister Edward, A.K.A Pascal in the underworld. Also the mysterious delivery before Liam’s accident.Scorpion activated the hidden chamber entrance while speaking quietly.“I had the Butcher continue investigating after our last discussion”The biometric wall opened silently, cold monitor lights illuminated the tactical room immediately. Ezra’s expression hardened slightly the
