A TABLE FOR TWO
His assistant checked the attached instructions. “Grand Master Ethan is known for avoiding public political displays. He may not want reporters turning the dinner into a campaign event before both of you reach an understanding.”One investor leaned against the table. “Powerful men do not meet publicly when discussing the future. They speak privately first, decide what they want, and allow the cameras to see only the final result.”Roland nodded slowly. “Then he intends to speak honestly.”For a brief moment, Felix Vale entered his thoughts. Felix had lost his job and licence after an unknown visitor caused trouble inside the hospital. Hilton had acted with unusual speed, and the timing of it all still troubled Roland.He looked at his assistant. “Did Xavier Group explain why Ethan chose me?”“No, sir,” the assistant answered. “They only said the discussion concerns Verdanis, healthcare, and the future.”The answer pushed Felix out of Roland’s mind. Healthcare and the future were the e
A PRIVATE AUDIENCE?
Roland read the invitation three times before he allowed himself to believe it was real. The Xavier Group seal, encrypted verification code, and executive signature were all present. No campaign office in Verdanis could have forged something this secure.Roland checked the digital signature again and compared it with previous documents issued by Xavier Group. Every security marker matched. Even the private access code had been generated through the same encrypted system used for Khagan Council communications.For the first time, he stopped searching for signs of fraud and began considering what the invitation could give him.He looked at his assistant. “Did Xavier Group contact you directly?”The assistant nodded quickly. “Their executive office verified the request twice, sir. They confirmed your name, your position, and the time of the meeting.”Roland returned his attention to the screen. “And Grand Master Ethan requested this personally?”“That is what they said,” the assistant r
THE UNTOUCHABLE DOCTOR
“Speaking of problems, I heard your assistant, Felix Vale, lost everything including his job and medical licence. What do you have to say about that?” Roland barely reacted. “I already know.”“He wasn't just dismissed,” The other investor said. “His licence was suspended the same day.”“He was enforcing your policies,” the oldest investor added. “Why did Dr. Hilton sacrifice him?”Roland shrugged. “Felix was only an assistant. Assistants are replaceable.”One investor frowned. “Replacing a man is easy,” he said. “Replacing someone who already knows every hidden corner of this business is much harder. If Felix ever talks, he could become dangerous.”Roland gave a dismissive wave. “Fear keeps loose tongues under control. Felix knows exactly what happens to people who betray us.”“But from what I hear, he was protecting this secret operation of ours,” the investor insisted.Roland's expression hardened slightly. “He was protecting it badly and without sense.”“He forgot the first rule,”
DARK SECRETS
Three days after the incident at Verda Medical Center, the executive boardroom overlooked the capital through walls of polished glass. Every detail reflected success, from the imported furniture to the campaign banners showing Roland Verda smiling beside grateful patients. Around the long conference table sat three of the corporation's largest private investors, each holding a confidential report while security guards stood outside the locked doors.Roland stood before a large presentation screen wearing an expensive tailored suit. He clicked to the next slide with an easy smile. “Our expansion plan will establish new rehabilitation centers across four provinces,” he said. “We'll also introduce specialist clinics, mobile health units, and advanced diagnostic facilities. These projects will strengthen Verda Medical Corporation's reputation while increasing revenue.”One investor leaned back impatiently and tapped the table with a gold pen. “Cut the public speech, Roland,” he said. “No
EVIDENCE OF A KILLER
Ethan adjusted the strap of the old document bag across his shoulder. “Now that is a good lesson for you to learn.”He turned and walked away without looking back. Behind him, Felix continued begging, but the sound grew weaker as Ethan entered the main lobby.The people who had mocked Ethan earlier now moved out of his path. Some stared at him with fear, while others lowered their heads in shame. Ethan ignored them all.A middle-aged man who had witnessed the confrontation stepped forward hesitantly. “Sir,” he called, “I judged you the moment you walked in. I was wrong.”Ethan paused without turning around. “Then remember today,” he said quietly. “Judge people by their actions, not their appearance.”The man lowered his head. “I will never forget it.”The weight of the document bag felt different now. Before the veteran’s death, the evidence inside it had been numbers, account records, and secret payments. After what Ethan had witnessed, every page carried a human cost.He tightened h
THE COST OF CORRUPTION
The notification from the National Doctors Association remained open on Felix Vale’s screen. He read the message once, then again, but the words did not change.EMERGENCY SUSPENSION OF MEDICAL LICENCE PENDING FINAL DISCIPLINARY REVIEW.Felix’s fingers began trembling so badly that he nearly dropped the phone. The confidence he had carried through the hospital only minutes earlier had disappeared completely.“This cannot be happening,” he whispered. His eyes moved rapidly across the notice, searching for some mistake he could challenge. “They cannot suspend my licence without calling me first.”The senior nurse standing nearby looked at the screen and slowly shook her head. “It is official, Dr Felix. The registration number and authorization seal are both there.”Felix turned the phone toward the nurse as though she might discover something he had missed. “Check it properly,” he demanded. “There must be an appeal button or it must be an administrative error.”The nurse looked at the no
