CHAPTER 570
Vivienne turned and headed for the workstation, with Zarek right behind her.Once everyone was patched up, Troll squeezed into the room carrying a fresh cup of coffee. Elara stepped out of the medical bay shortly after, wiping her hands on a towel, while Shaw limped out behind her, clutching his bandaged ribs.Vivienne slotted the drives into the server rack and connected the phone with a transfer cable.Lines of code ran across the monitors, breaking through the security layers one by one.A green prompt flashed, and a massive set of confidential files opened across the screen."We're in," Vivienne said, leaning closer to the primary monitor.The screen lit up the room with network maps, financial ledgers, and offshore routing accounts. As Vivienne scrolled past the corporate logs, a high-level file tagged under F3 clearance caught their attention."Look at this," Elara said, stepping forward to look over Vivienne's shoulder. "These aren't just facility records.""It's a tracking r
CHAPTER 569
“What do you mean you let them go?!” the F3 assistant yelled, her eyes dark with anger as she glared at the security personnel in front of her.She was furious.The three men had been right in front of them, and they had let them walk away for no reason. Not only had they failed to secure the prisoners, but they had let them escape completely.“We didn’t mean to, Ms. Mathilda.” The security leader swallowed hard, keeping his head low under her glare. "We had no idea Troll betrayed Vance," he stammered, his voice trembling. "We only stepped back because we respected Vance's territory. Nobody told us Vance was taken!""Silence!" Ms. Mathilda slammed her fist onto the desk. "You complete fools! You let a prisoner and two men walk out because you were scared of a name?!""We apologize, Ms. Mathilda," the officer said quickly, bowing his head as his men stiffened behind him. "If we knew Vance was compromised, we would have opened fire immediately. We thought we were avoiding a war.""Yo

"Wait..." the officer muttered, his eyes widening behind his rain-spattered visor.He stared at the scarred jawline, the wild hair, and the sheer size of the man standing in front of the SUV."I know that face."Troll did not draw his gun. He crossed his thick arms over his heavy chest, letting the rain soak his vest as he squinted at the officer through the downpour."Do you?" Troll growled."You're the hammer from the southern docks," the officer gasped, taking a step back and signaling his men to hold their fire. "You're Troll. Vance's personal cleaner."The remaining three guards flinched, shifting their weight nervously. In their world, Vance was a ruthless man who left no witnesses and tolerated no interference.Troll’s dark eyes glinted with amusement. He did not correct the man. Instead, a slow grin spread across his face, and he took a single, heavy step forward into the light."Vance doesn't like his targets getting put in cages before he gets to cut them up," Troll said,
CHAPTER 567
High above them, Shaw pulled his legs into the shadows. He rested across two support beams near the ceiling duct. Pressing his back against the cold concrete roof, he held his breath. His ribs hurt with a dull, burning pain.'Idiots never look up,' Shaw thought to himself. He smiled a little, wiped blood from his mouth, and held tightly onto a heavy metal bracket he had pulled loose.Before the mercenaries knew where he was, the heavy door behind them slammed shut."What was that?!" the main mercenary shouted, turning his flashlight toward the dark doorway.A calm, deep voice spoke from the shadows."You're in the wrong room."Shaw let out a quiet sigh of relief as Zarek stepped into the doorway. Muzzle flashes lit up the small space, but Zarek moved fast. He grabbed the front man's rifle, pulled him forward, and slammed him into the second guard. He hit the third man with a hard left punch, sending him into the wall. Then he swept the fourth guard off his feet before the man c
CHAPTER 566
The six men drew their rifles and ran out of the office, their heavy boots thundering down the carpeted hallway toward the elevators.Left alone in her office, the woman paced back and forth, her breathing fast and shallow. She looked out the window at the storm and clenched her hands into fists."I want them both dead," she spat into the empty room, her jaw tight. "Every single one of them."Down in the dimly lit command post, Zarek picked up a fresh magazine from a fallen guard's vest, slapped it into his pistol, and slid Shaw's recovered phone into his pocket. Four mercenaries lay scattered across the room, out cold beside their overturned monitors.He grabbed his second steak burrito from his coat, unpeeled the foil with his teeth, and took a large bite as he stepped over the unconscious lead technician.Taking out his comms unit, Zarek opened the channel."Shaw," Zarek said, chewing his food. "I have your phone. And dinner."Through the comms speaker, Shaw let out a long sigh f
CHAPTER 565
Inside the dark maintenance shaft above the holding room, Zarek moved quietly for a man of his size. The narrow space was freezing, filled with the hum of heavy machinery and the faint smell of wet dust. He stayed on his knees, guiding himself through the metal frame as he calculated the layout of the facility in his head.‘The guards took Shaw’s gear to the secondary command post,’ Zarek thought. ‘Two floors up, right past the main security hub. That’s where the lead mercenary set up.’He paused, listening to the vibrations running through the metal floor. Down in the courtyard, the sharp pops of Troll’s handguns echoed through the framing. Troll was keeping their attention drawn to the front gate, but he wouldn't be able to hold off the mercenaries forever. Time was running out.‘Ten minutes,’ Zarek estimated, moving forward again at a steady speed. ‘Ten minutes before they realize I’m not in that cell, or before Troll gets surrounded.’He reached a junction where three ducts me
