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
Chapter 100: The Alley Lesson
The alley was so quiet you could hear the steady drip drop of water hitting a rusted pipe somewhere in the shadows. A black Escalade sat tucked away in the dark with the engine off, its bulky shape barely visible under the weak, flickering light of a broken street lamp.Inside the SUV, four men were just killing time. The driver was leaning his elbow against the window, lazily scrolling through his phone, while the guys in the back talked in low voices, passing a cigarette back and forth. The smoke curled lazily toward the ceiling, trapped in the cramped space.Then, a new sound cut through the stillness.Engines. Low, heavy, and expensive.The driver’s thumb froze on his screen. A second later, three sets of headlights appeared at the mouth of the alley, cutting through the darkness like searchlights. Three black BMWs rolled in, their tires crunching slowly over the broken glass on the pavement.The men in the Escalade sat up straight, the lazy atmosphere vanishing instantly. "What t
Chapter 99: Traces in the Dark
Jack’s voice came through Marcus’s phone sounding calm like a soldier reporting to a general.“The girls are home and they’re safe, but it got pretty bad for a minute. Two black Escalades tried to run them off the highway.”Marcus leaned back in his chair, the dim street lights shining on his face. He didn't look panicked, he just looked like he was processing the news. “Which Escalades, Jack? Do we know who for sure?”“Same ones from the kidnapping of Freya,” Jack said. You could hear him tapping away at a keyboard on his end. “It’s definitely Baron’s crew. They’re working with the Black Doves on this one.”Marcus let out a slow breath and watched the night scenery go by. “The Black Doves,” he muttered. Then his voice got a lot sharper. “Do we know where they’re hiding yet?”“I’ve already got teams out looking for their spot. I’ll send you the location as soon as I have it.”Marcus sat there for a second, his fingers tapping on the arm rest. “What about Jason? Has he shown up at the
Chapter 98: The Shield
The gun appeared so suddenly that Freya didn’t process it at first. One moment the Escalade was just a dark shape blocking the highway, and the next, the driver’s window was down. A man leaned halfway out, his arm steady as he leveled a handgun directly at the Ferrari’s windshield.Time didn't just slow down, it froze. Victoria’s breath hitched in her throat, her hands locked on the wheel. Freya stared into the dark circle of the barrel, her mind refusing to accept what her eyes were seeing.On the phone, Jack’s voice cut through the silence calmly.“Don’t move.”His voice was low, with no tension underneath it. “Do not move. Stay exactly where you are.”Victoria’s knuckles were white, her fingers digging into the leather of the steering wheel. “I— I can’t…” she whispered, her voice barely audible.Freya’s heart was thumping so hard against her ribs it felt like it was trying to break out. The gunman didn't shout. He didn't make a scene. He just aimed with a calm, deliberate focus tha
