After arriving at the airport and stepping out of the car, Elias did not head toward the departure area as he was supposed to.

He paused, making sure his assistant was a few steps behind him, then spoke in a calm yet firm tone. “You go on according to the plan. Assume I’ve already boarded the plane.”

His assistant froze, clearly taken aback.

“Sir, ”

“And one more thing,” Elias cut in quietly. His gaze was sharp, leaving no room for argument. “Don’t tell anyone about this. Anyone.”

Several seconds passed before the assistant nodded, his face filled with unspoken questions. Yet for reasons he couldn’t quite explain, he felt compelled to remain silent and obey.

Elias nodded in satisfaction, then turned away without waiting any longer. He exited the airport through a public route, hailed a taxi, and left on his own.

His destination was not another city.

He was going back to the Carter family residence.

The sky was already dark when the taxi stopped several blocks away from the house. Elia

    Tyson was no longer thinking about Joe’s small company. What he had done a few days ago was more than enough, not to destroy it completely, but to remind him that there were lines that should not be crossed, and that arrogance always came with a price.If Joe was smart enough, he would stop there. If not, it was no longer Tyson’s concern.That morning passed as usual. Brief reports came in and went out, decisions were made without drama. Ravenhart moved at its own rhythm, calm, precise, and always one step ahead of anyone trying to peer too closely.When his phone vibrated, Tyson initially assumed it was an internal call. But the name on the screen made him pause.Scarlett.He answered without a preamble.“Tyson,” Scarlett called from the other end, her voice sharp but faintly tired. “I changed my schedule. I arrived last night.”Tyson raised an eyebrow slightly. “That’s earlier than planned.”“Circumstances forced me,” she replied. “I came with my assistant. We’re staying at a hotel.

    It took Tyson only one night to retaliate against Joe.By the next morning, the company Joe had built began to crack from the inside. A minor data breach suddenly surfaced on the desks of regulators and several strategic partners. Joe remained relaxed at first. He had dealt with similar situations before.The IT team was mobilized, an official statement was prepared, and he reassured himself that everything could be neatly contained as usual.That confidence collapsed the following day.His secretary arrived pale-faced, reports trembling in her hands. The new project auction, supposed to be the lifeline for cash flow, had failed completely. Not a narrow loss, but an elimination before the final stage, as if Joe’s company had never been considered qualified in the first place.Joe began to grow restless.The problems didn’t stop there. The next day brought a sudden audit. Then longtime partners postponed cooperation, citing “internal evaluations.”Banks slowed fund disbursements. One b

    Tyson did not respond to the invitation at all. He simply took Anna’s hand, his fingers closing calmly yet firmly around hers, and walked past Joe as if the man did not exist.His steps were steady, his shoulders straight, the posture of someone who had made a decision and had no intention of looking back.That was what ignited Joe’s anger.In his twenties, Joe was the kind of man who grew up believing the world could be conquered. He had tasted success too early, largely propped up by his family’s name, and that was enough to convince him that money and pressure could buy anything, including people.Tyson’s attitude felt like a slap to the face.“Tyson,” he called sharply, quickening his pace to catch up. But instead of grabbing Tyson, Joe’s hand clamped down roughly on Anna’s wrist.The pull was sudden and forceful.Anna stumbled backward, nearly falling. Her grip on Tyson broke, the sound of her shoes scraping against the restaurant floor cutting sharply through the air. A few head

    Gavin had just disappeared beyond the door when Tyson rose from his seat.He left his office and walked along the corridors of the Ravenhart headquarters, which were now far more alive than they had been a year ago. Behind the glass walls, several staff members were busy with their respective screens, the sound of footsteps and low conversations forming a constant backdrop. The new office made one thing clear, Ravenhart was no longer a small team that could move without leaving a trace.Tyson stopped in front of a door with a nameplate beside it.Anna.He knocked once before opening the door.Anna was reviewing a report on her tablet, her hair neatly tied back. The room was simple, functional, and arranged with a precision that reflected the way its owner thought.“Are you busy?” Tyson asked.Anna looked up, then shook her head slightly. “There are still a few things to wrap up, but nothing urgent. Why?”“Lunch outside,” Tyson replied briefly.Anna studied him for a few seconds, as

    Within a year and a half, Ravenhart grew far beyond what many had expected.The name began circulating in the right circles, not in the media, not through cheap rumors, but from one closed-door conversation to another, from exclusive boardrooms to the private dining rooms of influential figures. Ravenhart was known not for its advertising, but for its results.Along with that growth, their office moved as well.It was not a relocation for comfort, but a necessity. In the early months of Ravenhart’s rise, they had stepped on too many toes. Deals were disrupted, power lines cut, long-standing interests forced to change direction each action inviting retaliation.Anonymous threats. Warning messages. Even intimidation that crossed into the personal sphere. Once, someone sent an unmarked package to the apartment where Tyson and Anna lived, enough to make them realize that the boundary between business and personal safety had already blurred.That became the turning point.Tyson did not wai

    Mr. Hale kept Tyson with him until lunchtime.Not by force, but in a subtler way, through light conversation that felt more like a social obligation than an invitation.In the end, they had lunch outside the yacht, at a seaside restaurant where salty wind swept across the table, carrying the metallic scent of the docks.Tyson ate without saying much. Anna did the same.It was as if their bodies were present, but their minds had been left behind in the room before.When the meal was over, Mr. Hale was the first to stand.“I won’t keep you any longer,” he said as he straightened his jacket and set his cane upright. His tone was light, but his eyes were not.He shook Tyson’s hand once more, then gave a small nod to Anna.As Tyson and Anna walked away, Mr. Hale remained where he was, watching Tyson’s back slowly disappear into the flow of people along the pier.He let out a long breath.I can only take you this far, he thought.The rest… is no longer my concern.…The car drove away from
