2025-05-14 15:47:29Pain coursed through Liam’s body as he slowly regained consciousness.
His head throbbed, and his jaw ached from Logan’s final blow. The memory of what happened still terrified him. But at least, the nightmare was over—he had finally seen that masked devil off. Groggily sitting up, he noticed his phone buzzing nonstop—flooded with notifications. BANK ACCOUNT FROZEN DUE TO CREDIT ISSUES. ASSET SEIZED: SUNCREST ESTATE. ASSET SEIZED: HAYES YACHTS. ASSET SEIZED: LUX MOTORS. “No… no… this can’t be happening!” he bellowed, almost passing out on the spot. All his accounts frozen? Not a cent left? Even his villas and luxury vehicles gone? Ah!!!!Liam felt as if his heart were being torn apart again and again.
It must be that masked devil! Damn robber! He did it all!
Liam attempted to stand but collapsed hard against the wall. The sudden pain was unbearable! He wanted revenge but the pain reminded him how mysterious and powerful the masked man was. He didn’t dare. Looking in the mirror, Liam’s swollen face was a horrifying mess. How would he be able to show up like this at Rhine Group? Liam decided to ask for leave from Rhine Corporation’s vice president Claudia Rennard. He needed time to recover, both physically and mentally. He dialed the number. “Miss Rennard, I had an accident and got hurt. Can I take a few days off—” Before he could finish, the other end of the line burst out. “No! The new CEO is arriving tomorrow. All employees must report to work. If you can’t make it, then don’t bother coming back!” “But I—” Liam tried to explain, but the call was already cut off. Liam’s blood ran cold. With this new development, there was no way he could escape going to work. But then, coming to think of it, a new CEO meant new opportunities, right? Liam’s swollen eyes lit up with hope. Yeah, he had to show up, expecially now that he was injured. It would only prove his dedication, wouldn’t it? And as long as he could cling to the new CEO, he could get everything back! EVERYTHING! The next morning, Liam walked into the Rhine Corporation with a bruised jaw, a split lip, and sunglasses that barely concealed his black eye. Colleagues stared and laughed, pointing at him from the corners. Embarrassed and ashamed, he stormed through the lobby quickly, determined to run back to his office. He couldn’t avenge last night, but that bastard Logan and Charlotte ... they would pay. They would bear the brunt of his blazing wrath in place of that masked devil! He picked up his phone, ready to leverage the company’s influence to shut downand blacklist Charlotte’s company, Elysian Bloom. Meanwhile, a taxi stopped in front of Rhine Corporation. Logan stepped out, still wearing the plain clothes from yesterday after finishing up the chores at home and taking care of Charlotte and their daughter. He didn’t even have much time to change. As he entered the lobby, a familiar figure caught his eye—it was Ava Sullivan, Charlotte’s arrogant spoilt cousin. She was the daughter of Grandma Sullivan’s youngest son. Ever since Charlotte’s health and beauty company, Elysian Bloom, was on the brink of collapse, members of the Sullivan family had been circling around like vultures, eager to seize it for themselves. And this Ava Sullivan was one of them. Logan frowned instinctively. He didn’t want Ava to know he was here. Just as he was about to walk past — “Logan?” Dressed in a skin-tight red suit, Ava was basking in the attention of various elite nearby when her eyes caught a glimpse of a casually dressed man. Recognition sparked instantly. “Oh, look who shows up—the shameless, good-for-nothing bastard! What, no chores to do at home? What are you doing here at Rhine Corporation? Come to beg for scraps, ugh?" She chuckled, circled Logan like a predator eyeing prey.

The room stayed silent long after Logan’s words settled.Not because there was nothing to say—but because anything said now felt smaller than what had just been uncovered.The investigator finally broke the silence.“So what you’re suggesting is… this isn’t finished.”Logan didn’t look away from the dark screen.“It’s just been redirected.”Charlotte crossed her arms tightly.“Redirected toward what?”Logan paused for a moment before answering.“Toward the next layer.”Victor let out a faint, humorless breath.“You still think in layers,” he said quietly.Logan turned slightly toward him.“Explain.”Victor stepped forward slowly, as if every movement now cost him something.“You keep assuming there’s a hierarchy you can map cleanly.”A pause.“There isn’t.”The investigator frowned.“Then what is it?”Victor looked at the screen again.“What I saw… wasn’t a structure built to control governments.”He hesitated.“It was built to survive exposure.”That statement landed differently.Hea

The silence that followed Victor’s final words felt different from everything that had come before it.Not tense.Not hostile.Heavy—like something unseen had just entered the room and settled between them.Logan didn’t take the drive immediately.His eyes stayed fixed on it, as if weighing something beyond its physical presence.The tactical officers remained motionless, waiting for instruction that hadn’t come yet.Even the investigator, usually quick to act, hesitated.Charlotte’s voice broke the silence softly from the edge of the room.“Logan…”He didn’t turn to her.Not yet.Victor held the drive steady, his arm unmoving.For the first time, there was no arrogance in his posture. No performance. No manipulation.Only exhaustion.And certainty.“Open it,” Victor said quietly.Logan finally reached out and took the device.The moment it left Victor’s hand, the room seemed to tighten again.The investigator stepped forward immediately.“Sir, we should scan it first—”Logan raised a

The room fell into absolute silence after Victor’s words.Even the rain outside seemed quieter.The tactical officers exchanged uncertain glances, sensing that the confrontation had suddenly shifted into something deeper than an arrest operation.Logan stood motionless.His expression remained controlled, but Victor noticed the subtle change in his eyes.Recognition.Not confusion.Recognition.The investigator looked between both men.“What is he talking about?” he demanded.Victor ignored him completely.His attention stayed fixed on Logan.“You really never figured it out?” Victor asked quietly.Logan finally spoke.“Careful, Victor.”Victor smiled faintly.“That’s interesting,” he muttered.“You didn’t deny it.”The tension thickened.The investigator stepped forward again.“This conversation is over. You’re under arrest for conspiracy against the nation, institutional corruption, and—”Victor cut him off sharply.“You still think this started with me?”The investigator’s jaw tigh

Rain began to fall lightly across the city as the containment units moved into position.Dark vehicles slid through empty streets with precision. Communication channels remained tightly encrypted. No public alerts were issued.This operation was being handled quietly.Carefully.Because everyone involved understood one thing:Victor Sullivan was desperate now.And desperate men were unpredictable.Inside the lead tactical vehicle, Logan sat silently while intelligence updates flowed across the screen before him.The signal from Victor’s location had stabilized briefly before fragmenting again.But it was enough.Enough to narrow the zone.Enough to move.The investigator sat opposite him reviewing the live feed.“We’ve confirmed movement inside the structure,” he said.“Thermal signatures indicate at least two individuals.”Logan nodded once.“No heavy external security?”The investigator shook his head.“None detected.”Logan’s eyes narrowed slightly.“That means he wants us inside.”
Chapter 628
Victor didn’t sleep that night.He didn’t even try.Instead, he moved through the abandoned structure like someone assembling a final version of himself—stripped of hesitation, stripped of caution, leaving only intent.On the table in front of him, multiple devices were laid out. Some were old. Some newly acquired through channels that no longer officially existed.Each one represented a fragment of what remained of his influence.What he still had access to.And what he still believed he could use.The news played faintly in the background.Logan Brooks was now being praised across multiple nations. Security analysts, military experts, and even political commentators were calling the dismantling of the conspiracy “historic.”Victor didn’t turn it off.He listened to every word.Not because he agreed.But because he needed to understand how deeply he had lost control of the narrative.On the screen, Logan’s face appeared briefly during a press briefing.Calm. Controlled. Unshaken.Vic
Chapter 627
Dawn broke over the nation under an atmosphere unlike anything people had ever witnessed before.The streets were still active, but the mood had changed completely overnight. News vans crowded government buildings. Citizens gathered in markets, restaurants, offices, and homes, all staring at their screens in disbelief.Names that once carried influence and authority were now being associated with corruption, manipulation, and conspiracy.And at the center of every discussion was one name:Logan Brooks.The Iron Hand.Inside the mansion, the operations center remained active despite the successful exposure of the hidden network.Analysts continued monitoring arrests, intelligence sweeps, and institutional reactions.The operation was not over yet.It had only shifted phases.Charlotte stood quietly beside Logan, watching another list of confirmed arrests appear on the screen.“So many people…” she whispered.Logan’s expression remained unreadable.“Yes.”Charlotte slowly turned toward
