Chapter 2 - Ten Million DollarsHe thought to himself “Scammers these days have no strong tactics. Is my day really going to keep getting worse? I need to breathe.” Carl spoke out, “If you are trying to scam me, I am sorry to break it to you, I am just a broke college graduate. There is no money on me.”The young woman in her mid thirties spoke again, “I am sorry, Lord Thompson. It seems like I have confused you right here. We are not trying to scam you, I am here to take you home on your grandfather's orders.” “I am an orphan, and I do not have any grandfather. It only proves that you guys are aiming to extort me.” He emptied the content of his pockets and his bag, “As you can see, there is nothing here. Now I will take my leave.”“If I prove to you that you are really the young Lord Thompson, will you follow me home?” The lady sounded desperate so he wanted to hear them out, so he brought out his phone. “And If it turns out that you are lying, I will report you to the police.”
BONUS STORY: THE MUTE HEIR CARL THOMPSON
Chapter 1 - The Mute BoyCarl was returning from the school library after finishing his girlfriend’s project. He had spent the whole day doing her project because the deadline was by eleven p m. She had not informed him earlier that he was going to help her out.Since it was their final project in medical school, he poured his heart into it so she was going to have a good grade. It was no secret that he was the top student in their class and he was dating the hottest girl in their class too. Many people gossip about how they didn’t suit each other because he was a nerdy broke boy that had no connection or good background but his girlfriend, Rita, had a very good background.All these rumors didn’t matter to him, he was satisfied with getting to see her face everyday, doing her assignments, buying her meals as her boyfriend. That was enough to brighten his day and help him forget his struggles.When he was done with the assignment, he headed to the lounge to get some coffee for him
Chapter 206
Sirens screamed like a chorus of judgment through the city streets as the building’s reinforced windows vibrated from the sudden influx of federal authorities. Black-and-white SUVs screeched to a halt in the loading dock, their tires kicking up clouds of dust. Officers in tactical vests poured from vehicles, guns raised, radios crackling with urgent commands. The Director’s office, once a bastion of untouchable power, was now a cage surrounded by the law, the ultimate consequence of his own corruption.Andrew watched from the shadows of a stairwell, motionless. He could hear the chaos—shouts, orders, the clatter of feet against polished floors, the confused murmurs of remaining staff who didn’t know what had just happened. From the executive levels to the lobby, the building had transformed into a chaotic theater of justice. Yet, for Andrew, it was not a victory lap. It was a distraction.Vance’s voice came through the earpiece, calm but tinged with relief. “They’ve got the Director i
Chapter 205
Andrew burst through the double doors of the Director’s office, the smell of expensive leather and antiseptic filling his senses. The room was a sharp contrast to the chaos outside: polished oak, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city, and an air of sterile authority. At the center, behind an ornate desk, sat the Director. Calm. Composed. Too calm.“Andrew Pierre,” the Director said smoothly, voice dripping with mock cordiality. “I have to admit, I’m impressed you made it this far. Most operatives in your position… wouldn’t have survived the executive floors.”Andrew’s boots scraped against the marble as he advanced. Blood streaked his face, his uniform torn, wounds fresh from the brutal fight through the elite guard. But his eyes, steel-grey and unwavering, fixed on the Director. “Cut the theatrics,” he said. “I know everything. The Heart, the purge, your laundering, the clean-up crews… everything.”The Director’s thin smile didn’t waver. “Everything, you say? Fascinating. But
Chapter 204
Andrew slammed the server room door shut behind him, pressing his back against the reinforced metal as the first volleys of gunfire pounded against the frame. Sparks danced along the edges of the doorway where bullets struck, splintering into shards of light. The upload timer glared at him from the terminal: 4:56. Five minutes. Five minutes to hold the Core while the data transferred to the secondary node. It didn’t sound like much, but in a place like this, five minutes could be a lifetime.Vance’s voice crackled through the earpiece, calm but tense. “Andrew, the upload is proceeding… but I’ve just noticed a problem. It’s stalled. Some override in the Director’s office is locking the write process. You’ll need a manual override from the top. For now, hold them off.”Andrew’s jaw tightened. “Manual override? From the Director’s office? That’s… a hundred meters through a hailstorm of bullets.”“Yeah. So… keep them off me for five minutes while I try to route a temporary bypass,” Vance
Chapter 203
Andrew limped through the reinforced doors, every step a reminder of the brutal hallway fight that had just taken everything from him. Sweat stung his eyes, blood trickled from a gash along his temple, and his muscles screamed with exhaustion. His weapon was nearly empty, ammo counts flashing in the dim light of the server room, and yet he pressed on. Every second mattered; the evidence—the Heart—had to be secured before it was wiped clean.Rows of blackened server racks stretched into the shadows, cables snaking across the floor like the veins of some massive organism. Fans whirred with mechanical precision, cooling the machines that held the secrets of the Agency: unedited surveillance footage, financial ledgers, black operations accounts, the proof of laundering, bribery, and betrayal. This was the core—the nerve center of power that had manipulated Andrew’s life from the shadows.Vance’s voice was calm in his earpiece, a steady anchor in the chaos. “Andrew, data ports are prepped.
