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

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

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

The small freight elevator shook as it carried them up. It passed floor after floor of bare concrete walls before slowing down to a stop.The metal doors slid open with a heavy thud, showing the dim, concrete inside of a utility loading dock on the ground floor of a nearby business building.Adam looked out through the narrow gap first. The loading area was completely empty, except for a few old wooden pallets and a parked repair van.By using this extra back shaft, they had completely skipped Reign Holdings' main front lobby and all the guards watching the streets outside."The alley behind this dock leads straight to the west avenue," Sophia whispered, stepping out of the elevator. She turned back to look at Adam, her eyes going wide as the harsh overhead lights hit his face. "Adam, your jaw."Adam stepped out, his movements stiff.The right side of his jaw was visibly swollen, and a dark streak of blood stained his collar from the deep cut inside his cheek.In his eyes, his system
Chapter 143
Adam stepped into the narrow space between two concrete pillars, keeping his body low. Sophia followed right behind him, holding the heavy equipment bag tightly against her hip.They passed the flickering yellow light and the heavy metal door at the end of the side street where the director's private guards watched the video monitors.Instead, Adam moved twenty yards west, stooping beside a heavy, rusted iron drainage grate fixed into the damp concrete floor.He pulled a small crowbar from his backpack, pushed it into the edge of the cover, and lifted it. The iron grate came loose with a quiet scrape. Adam carefully placed it on the ground without making too much noise. "Go first," Adam whispered. "Watch your step."Sophia climbed down the ladder without a word. Her boots gripped the wet metal rungs as she moved further. Adam followed right behind her, then pulled the drain cover back into place above them. The tunnel was hot and smelled of grease, dirty water, and burnt wires. Thic
Chapter 142
Morning came to the capital city, casting a light gray glow through the thin curtains of the hotel window. The morning sun brought no real warmth to the city. Instead, it lit up the cold steel and concrete of the tall buildings outside.Inside Room 402, the room was quiet and filled with the uncomfortable feeling leftover from the night before.Sophia was already awake, standing in the small kitchen area. She held a fresh cup of coffee, watching the steam rise slowly in the dim light. The anger and hurt pride she had felt hours ago were gone, replaced by a calm and quiet look. She set her cup down on the counter, walked over to the desk where Adam sat, and looked him straight in the eye."I went too far last night," Sophia said directly. Her voice was gentle, showing no sign of defensiveness or emotion. "I let my personal feelings mess up my judgment, and I brought useless problems into our work. It will not happen again."Adam looked up from his notebook. He did not show off or lectu
