The heavy voice of one of the security guards echoed briefly inside the dim master bedroom."You're being too paranoid tonight. Who could possibly come up to the fortieth floor undetected by Nolan Reed's alarm system," answered the second guard with a tone of voice that sounded very lazy and dismissive."Mr. Marcus doesn't pay us handsom

Biochemical Torture
"You should have seen his pathetic face, Marcus. The man truly thought I loved him sincerely."Elena's voice broke the silence inside the dim study. The woman's beautiful face was displayed clearly on the laptop screen, holding a glass of red wine while sporting an incredibly condescending smile."The voice recording is very clean, Mr. Hale. Keep playing the video. I need thirty more seconds to extract this woman's entire vocal frequency so we can penetrate the Swiss bank tomorrow morning."Benjamin Carter's voice hissed softly through the wireless communication device in Alexander Hale's right ear."Make sure you capture every intonation, Benjamin. I do not want any mistakes when we transfer their money later," replied Alexander. His voice sounded very flat and controlled.Alexander stood stiffly staring at the monitor screen. His hand was ready to pull the hacking device from the laptop's port.In the video, Elena laughed again. A very shrill laugh full of sociopathic satisfaction.
The Traitor's Secret Chamber
"Everything is clear here. Close the door quickly. We still have to check the west wing before the shift change schedule arrives."The heavy voice of one of the security guards echoed briefly inside the dim master bedroom."You're being too paranoid tonight. Who could possibly come up to the fortieth floor undetected by Nolan Reed's alarm system," answered the second guard with a tone of voice that sounded very lazy and dismissive."Mr. Marcus doesn't pay us handsomely to relax. Just close the door and let's get out of here."The mechanical click of the mahogany door being pulled shut finally ended the tension that was almost about to explode. The boot steps of the two armed men gradually distanced and faded in the outer hallway.Inside the very dark teak wood wardrobe, Alexander Hale held his breath until his lungs felt like they were burning. He pushed the wardrobe door slowly. The former Shadow Emperor stepped out through the rows of h
Infiltrating the Lion's Den
"The CCTV camera in the underground parking area is panning east. You have a window of exactly fifteen seconds to incapacitate that guard, Mr. Hale."Benjamin Carter's voice hissed softly through the wireless earpiece in Alexander Hale's ear. The former emperor stood blending with the shadow of a concrete pillar on the ground floor of the luxury apartment building where Marcus Trent lived. He wore a dark blue building maintenance technician uniform, covering the Kevlar vest and bandages all over his body. A fake toolbox lay at his feet."Fifteen seconds is too long. I only need three seconds," answered Alexander in a very soft whisper.A fully armed security guard walked casually, turning the corner of the basement hallway. The man whistled softly, completely unaware that death was stalking him.Alexander shot out from behind the pillar without making a single squeak with his shoes. His movement was pure high-level military tactics. Before the gua
Finding the Blind Spot
"If you are indeed death itself, Mr. Hale, then let me be the ledger that calculates all their sins before you take their lives."Benjamin Carter stared straight into Alexander's eyes. His grip on the black folder tightened. The vengeance that had been rotting inside the former auditor's chest now found the perfect vessel. That very night, Benjamin officially became the first tracking dog in the new empire of Hale Capital.Twelve hours later, the dingy atmosphere of the East District had been replaced by the absolute luxury in Alexander's penthouse. The smell of cheap alcohol from Benjamin's body was gone, replaced by the aroma of thick black coffee. The ex-convict sat in front of three large monitor screens. His fingers typed at an incredible speed.Alexander stood behind him. He sipped his whiskey slowly. The pain in his right thigh still throbbed constantly, but his body posture remained perfectly upright."Marcus is at the peak of his paranoia
Vengeance Behind a Cheap Bottle
"Get away from my door or I will smash this bottle right on your head. I know which bastard paid you to come to this dumpster."The hoarse and raspy voice sounded muffled from behind the rotten wooden door. Alexander Hale stood silently in the hallway of the rundown apartment in the East District. The heavy rain pouring down on the city of London that night dripped from the collar of his midnight blue bespoke suit. Rainwater mixed with the cold sweat on his forehead. The screwdriver stab wound on his right thigh throbbed incredibly painfully, forcing the man to lean heavily on his mahogany walking stick.The former Shadow Emperor ignored the cheap threat from inside the room. He lifted the tip of his cane, then knocked on the wooden door three times with a very slow and calculated rhythm."I said go away, you bastard."The apartment door was pulled open very roughly. The pungent smell of cheap alcohol, dried vomit, and despair immediately slapped Alexander's face.A middle-aged man st
Learning to Read the Law
"The rain in this city feels like spit falling from the sky, Gideon. Very dirty, cold, and slowly makes everything rot."Alexander Hale stood frozen in front of the panoramic glass window of his luxurious penthouse. Heavy rain battered the glass surface with an ear-splitting rhythm. The face of the former Shadow Emperor looked incredibly grim and pale. The lightning from the night sky reflected his silhouette, which now looked much more fragile compared to his past as the god of death."You must immediately re-bandage the wound on your right thigh, Mr. Hale. I can hear your ragged breathing through this phone line." Gideon Locke's voice sounded anxious from the phone speaker lying on the glass table. "The arterial bleeding caused by that rusted screwdriver stab could kill you from infection before Marcus Trent even has a chance to celebrate his victory.""I am taking care of my wound. Stay on your line and listen to me, Gideon," answered Alexander with a h
