Chapter 92
Earlier that hour, across the district, a black car pulled smoothly to a stop in front of the Fletcher family residence.Gabriel stepped out of the vehicle and walked around to open the passenger door for Arthur. The older man stepped out carefully, his shoulders relaxed as he carried a look of relief after the dramatic confrontation at Ascord Spring.“Uncle Arthur,” Gabriel said gently, guiding him toward the front porch. “You should get some rest tonight. You’ve been through a lot of excitement.”Arthur smiled warmly, patting Gabriel’s shoulder as he leaned against the doorframe. “I will, Gabriel. Thank you for standing by me today. But about Julian? He isn’t home; he must be at the harbour office late to clear those dock ledgers. I’m sure he is still working.”“Yes,” Gabriel replied, adjusting his dark jacket. “I am going to drive down to the harbour administrative building right now to check up on him and bring him home safely.”Arthur nodded approvingly, his eyes filled with grat

Meanwhile, the night air over the Ironport harbour was dry, and Most of the administrative offices lining the dockside had long gone dark, but a single window on the second floor of the Fletcher Logistics building remained brightly lit.Inside the office, Julian sat behind a desk covered with stacks of shipping manifests, ledger books, and legal documents. He rubbed the bridge of his nose, his eyes burning with fatigue, but he refused to pack up yet. With Arthur at Ascord Spring, the full weight of the company’s administrative overhaul rested firmly on Julian’s shoulders.“Just three more ledgers,” Julian muttered to himself, pulling a blue folder closer. “If we clear these harbour contracts tonight, the customs board won’t have a single legal leverage point left to use against us.”He carefully verified timestamps and container serial numbers. He was completely unaware that three black vans had just rolled silently into the dark alleyway behind the administrative complex, their head

Innocent Barry's eyes widened, turning a terrifying shade of rage as he stepped toward Manager Vargas. "Mr. Barry, Please! Let me explain!" Manager Vargas stammered, raising his hands in a gesture of panic. "I was only trying to protect the venue's reputation! Mr. Fletcher didn't tell me." "He didn't have to tell you anything!" Jack shouted, cutting him off immediately, stepping forward with Fabian and Raphael beside him. "We pleaded with you to act like a professional, but you called Arthur a broke, pathetic old man right in front of everyone!" Seeing the ship sinking rapidly, Philip suddenly pointed a finger at the manager, shouting to save himself. "That's right! Manager Vargas and Marco were the ones pushing us to kick Arthur out! He even insulted Arthur's friends!" Manager Vargas snapped. Pushed past his limit by the betrayal, he swung his fist into Philip's face. The punch hit Philip so hard that his head snapped back, his eyes rolling into his skull as he collapsed onto th

“What did you just say?” Innocent Barry whispered, his voice trembling with a mixture of terror and rising fury.Marco, still blinded by his own arrogance, puffed out his chest and smiled widely. “I said this broke fool, Arthur Fletcher, is disrespecting your fine establishment, Mr Barry! You should have him kicked out.”A sharp slap echoed.Innocent Barry swung his hand with all the strength in his body, striking Marco across the cheek. The force of the slap was so sudden and violent that Marco’s head snapped around, sending him stumbling backwards into Philip.The entire room froze in shock. The sixteen association members standing in the doorway stopped breathing, their hands hovering in mid-air as their camera phones recorded the unbelievable sight. Philip stared with his mouth agape, unable to process what had just transpired.Marco clutched his burning red cheek, his eyes wide with confusion. “Mr. Barry, why did you hit me? I am Marco Chester! I booked the Golden Suite! I’m a

Arthur quickly stepped in front of Gabriel, extending a broad arm to gently pull him back behind his shoulder. Concern was etched on Arthur’s face, his voice dropping into an urgency.Arthur pleaded quietly, his eyes fixed nervously on the crowded doorway. “Gabriel, please, step back. Do not get involved in this mess. Marco has spent years building deep financial connections across this city, and half the executive board is standing behind him tonight. You are young, and your future is just beginning. You don’t need to get dragged into our malice or suffer their insults on my account.”Gabriel gently placed a hand on Arthur’s shoulder, feeling the tension vibrating through his frame. His posture remained unyielding.“Uncle Arthur, relax,” Gabriel said softly, his voice possessing a steady rhythm. “You booked this room legally, you paid in full, and you have treated everyone with respect. You haven’t done a single thing wrong tonight. There is no reason for you, or anyone standing at t

The atmosphere inside Bronze Suite 5 was filled with light conversation and warm laughter. Arthur, Jack, Fabian, and Raphael sat comfortably around the wide mahogany table, listening intently as Gabriel quietly answered a few polite questions about his recent return to Ironport.“It really is remarkable,” Jack said, setting his tea glass down with a genuine smile. “Arthur, having someone like Gabriel by your side must bring so much peace of mind. He carries himself with a steady presence.”Arthur smiled warmly, nodding as he patted Gabriel’s shoulder. “He truly does, Jack. After everything my family has endured over the past few years, having him around feels like a turning point.”Before Fabian could pour another round of tea, a resounding crash shattered the calm of the private room.The doors of Suite 5 burst open with force, slamming hard against the interior walls. The peaceful ambience dissolved instantly as a crowd of men poured across the threshold, led by Marco Chester and Ph
