Chapter 106: The House of Iron
The interrogation room started to clear out as the orders went down through the Griffin security network. Jack stayed by the observation glass, watching the monitors while his commanders stepped away to get their teams in groups.One of the commanders, Jay, stood there studying the file on the screen. The blue light from the monitor made the name under the photo glow: Adrian Van Cleef.This was a guy who owned half the underground gambling dens in the city and had a Rolodex full of crime families. He was dangerous, sure, but in this room, dangerous was just another Tuesday for them.Jay let out a long breath and looked over at Jack. "Alright, boss. I’ll take a squad and go bring him in."But before Jack could even nod, another voice cut through the room. "Leave this one to me."Jay looked over his shoulder. Zane had been standing there the whole time, quiet as a grave. Most of the guys in this unit looked like they could handle themselves, but Zane looked like he’d been carved out of
Chapter 105: The Hunt for Van Cleef
Marcus walked out of his grandfather’s room, the heavy gold doors clicking shut behind him. Even as he walked away, he could still feel the weight of that conversation sitting in the back of his mind.Leo, the estate’s head butler, was waiting right there in the hallway. Leo had been with the family for over thirty years, and he looked exactly the same as he always did— perfect suit, silver hair combed back, and that calm, professional face that never seemed bothered.Marcus gave him a small nod. "Thanks for taking me to see him, Leo."Leo bowed his head just a bit. "It is always an honor, Young Master."Marcus looked at the older man for a second. Leo had seen the Griffin family go through everything, but he always carried himself with this quiet dignity."If you need anything else tonight," Leo added politely, "the staff is ready to help.""I'll keep that in mind," Marcus said. He turned and headed straight for the private elevators.The basement levels were a lot quieter than the r
Chapter 104: The Weight of an Empire
The heavy steel door didn't just open, it slammed into the wall so hard that the sound echoed through the entire room. Marcus was standing behind the thick glass in the observation area, watching the driver shake and fall apart under the pressure.Then the family butler stepped in, looking as calm as he always did, even with all the crazy stuff happening in that room. He didn't look at the prisoner or the high tech gear, he just looked straight at the glass where Marcus was standing. He gave a small, polite bow. "Young Master Marcus."Marcus stepped away from the window, the glow from the screens still reflecting off his jacket. "Yeah?""Your grandfather wants to see you right now," the butler said, his voice smooth and steady. "He heard you were home, and he’s not the type to wait until morning to welcome his grandson."Marcus took one last look through the glass. The driver was a complete mess. He was just staring at his feet like he was waiting for the world to end. Marcus turned
Chapter 103: Beneath the Griffin Empire
The convoy didn’t take the main road to the estate. Instead, the G Wagons switched lanes onto a private route hidden behind a thick wall of black pines. The road dipped gradually, disappearing into a tunnel carved directly into the hillside, like an entrance to a fortress that wasn't on any map.From the outside, the Griffin estate looked like a massive, peaceful residence sitting on thousands of acres. But inside, it was the nerve center of an empire. The Griffins didn't just own property, they controlled banks, energy grids, and private security networks that stretched across continents. When the Griffin name came up in a boardroom, governments listened and remained quiet.The G Wagons came to a stop in a reinforced underground bay built into the mountain's foundation. As the heavy security lights hummed to life, armed guards stepped forward. One looked into the lead vehicle, saw the formation, and immediately stood at attention.“The Young Master has returned,” he announced.Marc
Chapter 102: The Pieces on the Board
Miles away from the chaos of the alley, Jason stood in a dimly lit room where a wall of monitors displayed live feeds. He was dead silent, his hands resting on the back of a chair as he watched a recording replay for the third time.On the screen, the helicopter hovered over the narrow street. They watched the rope drop, the man slide down through the wind, and the exact moment Lucien Starling— a man who didn't bow to anyone— lowered his head in respect to the man.Jason’s eyes narrowed. "Freeze it there," he muttered.The technician tapped a key, freezing the frame right as the man stepped into the light. "That’s him," the tech said quietly. "That's the guy."Jason stared at the grainy image. Even through a security camera, the man on the screen— Jack, had a presence that made the room feel smaller."Boss, you need to see this too," another man said, pointing to a different monitor.The screen switched to footage from the event center earlier that night. It showed the line of white c
Chapter 101: The Shadow That Descended
The phone was still vibrating in the operative’s gloved hand. For a second, he just stared at the glowing screen. Three bodies were sprawled out next to the Escalade, perfectly still. The only one left was the driver, kneeling on the pavement and clutching his mangled wrist, blood dripping steadily between his fingers.The operative finally put the phone to his ear.A voice came through instantly— cold and flat. “Don’t move. We have your location pinned. Step forward slowly and keep your hands where we can see them.”The driver froze, his eyes bulging. "Who— who’s that calling?" he stammered, his face turning pale.The operative listened for one more heartbeat, his expression going hard under his visor. "...Nonsense," he muttered, and he ended the call with a quick flick of his thumb.He didn't hesitate. He shoved the phone into a side pocket of his vest. It was evidence, tracking data, and maybe a number he’d want to dig into later. The driver watched him, shaking like a leaf. "Wha
