THE SUPREME LEADER'S SECOND THRONE
Darius Verda arrived at Arkstone Ridge believing that the Khagan Council would provide the protection his family desperately needed. He had spent the previous evening preparing his arguments with VerdaLife's lawyers. Although Ethan Xavier had exposed his true identity as the Supreme Leader of Verdanis, Darius remained convinced that the Council would prevent him from destroying one of the country's largest medical companies.The heavily guarded entrance to Arkstone Ridge looked exactly as Hilton had once described it. Security officers inspected Darius's invitation before allowing his vehicle through the gates. Beyond the entrance stood the magnificent building where the most powerful business families in Verdanis gathered to make decisions concerning their privileges and responsibilities.Darius entered the Khagan Chamber accompanied by two lawyers as permitted by the Khagan authorities. His eyes moved across the magnificent hall, taking in the expensive decorations and the seven s
I CHALLENGE YOU BEFORE THE KHAGAN COUNCIL
“Go on, Mr Verda,” he said. “I am listening.”Darius drew confidence from the opportunity to explain himself.“The Khagan Council protects the country's most important business institutions,” he continued. “VerdaLife supplies medicines, supports hospitals and contributes to medical research across Verdanis. Removing our family from that position would affect the entire healthcare system.”Several directors nodded cautiously. For the first time since Ethan's identity was revealed, Darius believed he had found an argument that could protect the family's remaining influence.“The Supreme Leader cannot simply declare our Khagan status invalid because he disagrees with our management,” Darius added. “If you want to challenge our position, you must present your case before the Council. Its members have the right to examine the evidence and make a decision.”Lorne looked toward Ethan, waiting for his response.Ethan did not appear offended. In fact, Darius had finally raised an argument that
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
