"Marcus," Damien said quietly. "Execute a total network wipe on Lucas Global Tech.""Initiating the clean sweep now, Boss," Marcus’s voice returned instantly through his earpiece.Director Lucas let out another loud laugh, waving his hand in the air. "Look at you, talking into your shirt. You think your little helper can break through a military firewall? My security system is the best in the world!"But before Lucas could pick up his cigar again, the giant digital display screens on the lounge walls suddenly flickered violently. The bright numbers showing the evening stock prices vanished. The entire room fell silent as the large screens turned a deep, dark red.A massive digital countdown appeared in the center of every wall screen: 03... 02... 01…"What is happening to the monitors?" one of the investors asked, standing up from his chair to get a better look.Suddenly, Lucas's personal mobile phone began to buzz wildly on the table. It did not stop. Hundreds of text notifications

Ignoring the wailings of Pierce Jr. and the questioning glances of those around, not minding the glances thrown at them, Damien and Amelia strode into the main lounge of the Grand Horizon Club.Large crystal lamps hung from the ceiling, casting a warm glow over dozens of small tables. Men in expensive suits and women in long dresses sat in groups, drinking from small glasses and discussing the stock market, ensuring they were as loud as the room allowed.Damien strode into the room with steady steps, his tall figure drawing the attention of several guests. Amelia walked right next to him, her face calm and her eyes scanning the crowd. They did not stop to look at the beautiful decorations. They had only one target in mind.Sitting in the largest booth at the back of the lounge was their target; Director Lucas. He was a heavy-set man with short gray hair, wearing a tailored gray jacket and holding a thick cigar. Surrounding his table were five wealthy investors, all laughing loudly a

Elite Club Entrance. The tall buildings of the capital city rose high into the night sky. Unlike Oakhaven, this city was bright, filled with flashing neon signs and long lines of expensive sports cars moving down the wide streets. The air was crisp and clear as Damien guided the black car into the wealthy business district.Amelia looked out the window at the massive glass towers. "The Governor’s inner circle spends all their time here, Damien. To find the people who helped move Aaron, we need to enter the Grand Horizon Club. It is the most exclusive spot in the entire province.""We will get in," Damien responded, his hands moving the steering wheel smoothly. He parked the car near the entrance of a massive, beautiful building with a wide driveway.They stepped out of the vehicle. Damien wore his plain black suit, looking tall and powerful, though his clothes had no expensive brand labels. Amelia walked by his side, her face calm and steady. They walked up the wide steps toward th

Turn of Event. "Your driving is fine, Mr. Royce. Or should I call you the shadow CEO? Yes, I know exactly who you are. The alliance sent me a text message with your license plate number an hour ago.”Amelia stepped forward, her face full of anger. "You are a police captain! You are supposed to protect the law, not take orders from a criminal alliance!"Captain Vance turned his head toward Amelia, his mocking smile growing wider. "Miss Su, the law belongs to the people who pay the bills. In this province, the Governor and his partners are the law. They paid me a very large amount of money to make sure you two do not finish your little road trip tonight.""What do you want, Vance?" Damien asked quietly."I am going to lock you up," Captain Vance answered, his voice full of supreme arrogance. He pulled a pair of heavy silver handcuffs from his belt and tossed them onto the hood of the car. "I am going to throw you and your girlfriend into a dark, deep cell at the county station. No

Enemies Territory. “Not only that, I traced the distributor”Marcus revealed, and Damien's eyes turned a dangerous glint. Daniel jabbed at Marcus, narrowing his eyes a little.“Stop stalling and tell them all they need”Hearing that, Amelia leaned forward, folding her arms to her chest, as she raised her brow at Marcus.Clearing his throat theatrically, Marcus continued.“The latest shipment arrived a few weeks ago”"And?” Damien urged impatiently."And, every company that purchased the ink is linked to a shell company owned by someone in the Westbridge province”Amelia gasped, while Damine smirked, nodding his head briskly. The room fell silent for a while, tension gradually seeping in.Damien broke the silence with his gruff, confident voice, a voice like a blade that sliced through the silence.“The Alliance”Every head nodded, as all pairs of eyes gazed openly at Damien.“Westbridge Province.” He stated, having a faraway look in his eyes. "That's where their next move will be”Fo

The apartment remained silent. Eli had retired to his room, while Marcus and Daniel returned to their workstation, determined to make a breakthrough and discover what game had been played on them earlier. The glow from their laptops lit up the kitchen a little, with codes and surveillance feeds displayed on the screen.Their findings hadn't made way yet, but both men were determined to see it to the end. Seeing Damien in such a manner was enough determination.Amelia had retired to her room, sleep eluding her, the day's happenings playing through her mind like a movie.On the other hand, Damien was alone in his office, sitting and dwelling in the darkness that surrounded his room and heart. The letter lay on his desk, the words seemingly mocking him.For the umpteenth time, he glanced at the letter, reading the final line once more.‘Come find him’Those words felt like they were taunting him, like he was being mocked and dared, and he didn't like any of them. His jaw tightened, these
