THE VERDA FAMILY'S LAST SHIELD
Elias slowly rose from his chair. His hands trembled slightly as he looked around the room. He knew that speaking openly could permanently damage his relationship with the surviving members of his family.“Your Excellency, I supplied certain records belonging to my late brother Roland,” Elias admitted. “Those documents contained information about suspicious transactions and financial activities within VerdaLife. I preserved them because I knew they might become important.”Darius turned toward him in disbelief.“You?” he exclaimed. “Elias, are you telling me that you secretly handed our family's private documents to government investigators? After everything this family has done for you?”Elias looked at his uncle.“Yes, Uncle Darius,” he replied quietly. “I provided the records because I could no longer pretend that nothing was wrong. I should have spoken earlier, but I was afraid of what would happen to the family.”“You betrayed us!” Darius shouted. “Roland is dead, Hilton is missi
A XAVIER AMONG THE VERDAS
He had seen that face before. Although he had never met Ethan Xavier personally, Darius clearly remembered seeing him during the private commissioning of the Paralysis Projects. It was the same event where Ethan's life had been threatened, and an assassination attempt had nearly succeeded.Darius could still remember the fear and confusion that followed the incident. He had seen Ethan's face clearly that day, but he never imagined that the Supreme Leader would later enter VerdaLife disguised as an ordinary temporary employee.Now that the fake moustache and plastic facial disguise had been removed, there was no longer any doubt in his mind. The man standing before him was the same Ethan Xavier he had seen during that dangerous commissioning ceremony.“No... this cannot be possible!” Darius exclaimed, gripping the edge of the conference table. “You... you're Ethan Xavier! You're actually the Supreme Leader!”Several directors immediately leaned forward to examine Ethan's face. Without
THE FACE BEHIND ETHAN WARD
Darius Verda stared at the armed Tribunal officers entering his boardroom. He had expected the security department to explain why the doors were locked, not a senior military officer arriving without permission. His anger grew when he recognized the man leading them.“Brigadier General Lorne, what is the meaning of this?” Darius demanded, rising from Hilton's chair. “Who authorized you to enter VerdaLife's headquarters and interfere with a private board meeting? I demand an explanation immediately.”Lorne did not answer him. He glanced at the detention order in the security chief's hand before turning toward Ethan, who was standing beside the conference table. The general straightened his uniform and gave a formal military salute.“Supreme Leader, the building is secure,” Lorne announced respectfully. “The Tribunal officers have taken control of the executive floor, and your instructions have been carried out. We are awaiting your next orders.”A shocked silence settled over the board
WHO DARES LOCK MY BOARDROOM
Darius however believed that if he could keep Ethan under supervision, his lawyers would have enough time to decide how to contain the growing scandal.However, Darius had made one serious mistake. He believed he was dealing with an ordinary temporary employee who had become too confident because of government support. He had no idea that the young man standing before him was Ethan Xavier, the Supreme Leader of Verdanis, whose authority extended far beyond anything the Verda family could command. The very person Darius was attempting to detain possessed the power to challenge his family's position among the Khagan business families.Ethan understood exactly what Darius was trying to accomplish. He could see that the acting chairman wanted to silence him without making the decision appear unlawful before the other directors. Nevertheless, Ethan chose not to reveal his identity or challenge the order further. He simply watched as Darius handed the signed document to the security chie
THE ORDER THAT WILL RUIN DARIUS VERDA
The security guard at the executive floor glanced at Ethan's badge and shook his head. Its access light was still red, although the summons on Ethan's phone carried Darius Verda's name. After a call to the board secretary, the guard opened the visitor gate and escorted him down the corridor.Inside the boardroom, twelve directors sat around a polished table. Darius occupied the chair at its head, the one Hilton Verda had used before disappearing. No board vote had confirmed Darius as permanent chairman, but he looked comfortable in his senior brother's place.“Ethan Ward,” Darius said, without offering him a seat. “I asked for the temporary clerk who brought government investigators into our business. I see you decided to come wearing the same badge.”“The badge was issued by your company,” Ethan replied. He stopped at the empty chair near the door but remained standing. “Your message said I was required to attend. I'm here to hear what you want.”“I want an explanation,” Darius said
THE MAN WHO FIRED HIS OWN FATE
The two officers approached Ethan. One reached toward the device, but Ethan moved it away without raising his voice.“This tablet contains government inspection records,” he explained. “You should not confiscate it without proper authorization. I suggest you confirm your instructions before proceeding.”“Stop listening to him!” Malcolm shouted. “I gave you an order. Remove him immediately!”Before either officer could touch Ethan, the conference room door opened.Four men entered, led by a government investigator carrying an official document. Their arrival immediately drew everyone's attention.“Malcolm Rane?” the investigator asked, looking directly at him. “We are government investigators. We have a warrant requiring your arrest.”Malcolm stared at the man in disbelief.“My arrest?” he repeated. “There must be some mistake. I am the one dealing with an employee who has been interfering with this company.”“There is no mistake,” the investigator replied. “The warrant concerns suspec
