Chapter 150
They took the back elevator down to the bottom basement, avoiding the main parking garage. A plain work van was waiting in the loading area, driven by one of Sophia's trusted safety drivers.They slid into the back quietly. The van drove out into the rainy evening, avoiding the main roads and moving through narrow factory streets toward the water. Through the dark glass, Adam watched the city lights blur in the rain.Twenty minutes later, the van slowed down, passing through a side gate at Pier Fourteen. Tall metal cranes stood over the dark water, their dark frames showing against the rainy clouds. The air smelled like salt water, engine oil, and wet iron.The driver stopped near the back of a worn iron cargo ship. Massive black metal walls rose out of the dark sea water, marked with lines of rust.The side metal stairs were lowered down. An older man wearing a heavy rain coat stood at the top fence, looking down into the dark pier."Captain Damien," Sophia called out quietly as the

"She cannot find them," Sophia agreed, her hands holding her phone very tight. "Virelle’s watching teams are covering every normal private plane, every traveler list, and every bank transfer leaving the city. If we book a direct plane to Singapore under North Ridge, we give her our exact location."Adam looked up at the low ceiling of the safe house. His jaw was throbbing under the tight bandage, and every single word pulled on his hurt skin, but his mind was already putting the pieces together."She is watching the sky and the banks," Adam said, his voice low and rough. "Because that is where business people run when they are scared. But she just signed the paper to clear our harbor licenses."Sophia looked at him, her eyes narrowing just a little bit. "The harbor?""The north trade path is open now," Adam said, pointing toward her computer screen. "We will not take a plane out of the city airport. We will slip out on a large cargo ship. We can put our names on a fake worker list as

The car moved smoothly down the ramp and into the cold underground garage of the safe house. Heavy steel doors closed behind them with a loud slide, blocking out all the noise from the busy streets outside.When the driver turned off the engine, the car was filled with silence. Adam tried to open his door to step out, but his body would not move the way he wanted it to. The strong energy that had kept him standing all morning was completely gone, leaving him with deep pain and total tiredness. The moment his shoes touched the smooth floor, his knees gave out beneath him.Sophia moved very fast. She stepped out from her side of the car and caught him around the middle before he could hit the hard floor. She pulled his arm over her shoulder, holding up as much of his weight as she could."I have you," Sophia whispered, her warm breath resting close against his neck. "Take it easy. Just take one step at a time.""I can walk on my own," Adam grunted, but his feet dragged heavily as they

Sophia frowned, her eyes checking his swollen jaw and pale skin with growing worry. She reached out to hold his shoulder, trying to keep him from moving too much."Adam, calm down," Sophia said, her voice soft but firm, as if talking to someone who had lost his mind. "You took a terrible hit to the face last night. Your body is crashing, and you lost blood. You are in shock right now. Please, just breathe.""I am not in shock," Adam said. His voice was rough, but his dark eyes stared at her with a desperate, shaking gaze. He reached out and grabbed her arm. His grip was light, but his fingers trembled against her coat. "Listen to me, Sophia. The Noah estate medical wing. The private plane. The secret money account I set up under Vanguard."Sophia froze. The color slowly left her face as she stared back at him."I moved them that night," Adam went on, his chest rising and falling in quick, painful breaths. "My mother and your father. I sent the Vanguard money to Singapore myself before
Chapter 146
Adam kept his back straight and walked with slow steps all the way through the soft halls of the club, down the glass elevator, and across the smooth marble floor of the lobby. Beside him, Sophia walked at the same calm pace. She held her head high as they passed two Reign guards standing near the front doors.They stepped outside into the bright morning air. A black car was waiting at the side of the road. Adam opened the back door, waited for Sophia to get inside, and climbed in right behind her.The moment the heavy car door shut tight, hiding them inside the quiet blacked-out room of the car, Adam lost all his strength.The tough posture holding him up disappeared in a single second. He sank heavily into the soft leather seat. His head fell back as a rough, painful breath broke from his throat. The energy that had hidden his severe physical pain vanished, leaving him helpless against the terrible aches running through his body.The right side of his jaw throbbed with a sickening,
Chapter 145
Virelle’s fingers shook slightly against the edge of her small porcelain cup. She stared at the bright glass screen of the tablet, reading through the hidden account records, the fake interest rate calculations, and the exact company names Reign Holdings used to break their smaller rivals.Her proud, calm stance broke completely, changing her smooth smile to a look of cold, sharp anger."Where did you get this?" Virelle demanded, her voice low and hard as it crossed the neat wooden table. "From your main data room," Adam said, his bandaged jaw staying firm as he spoke. "The one you thought was locked down tight by six private military guards."Virelle’s eyes flared. Her chest rose and fell in short, furious breaths as she realized the massive legal and financial damage those files would cause if they reached federal inspectors. Reign Holdings’ whole plan to take over twelve regional transport hubs relied on keeping those fake debt tricks completely hidden.With a sudden, violent mov
