Chapter 13
Mr. Kensington snatched the white cane right out of Griffin’s hand.The billionaire did not hesitate. He raised his knee and snapped the solid wooden stick violently in half. He threw the broken pieces against the tiled wall.Griffin let out a sharp cry of fake terror. He dropped to his knees on the wet floor. He held his hands up defensively to protect his face.Kensington drew his foot back and kicked Griffin directly in the stomach.The brutal strike landed exactly on Griffin’s broken ribs. The pain was absolute, blinding agony. It felt like hot knives tearing through his chest. Griffin gasped for air, his vision swimming with dark spots. He collapsed onto the wet tiles, curling into a tight ball of genuine suffering."You pathetic piece of trash." Kensington spat on the floor next to Griffin’s face. "You could have cut my feet with that glass. I should have my security chief break your neck right now."Griffin groaned loudly. He did not fight back. He played the helpless victim pe

The black car pulled into the secure underground parking garage of the penthouse.Griffin helped Nico out of the vehicle. They took the private elevator up to the top floor.Kira was waiting in the massive living room. She had her medical kit open on the glass dining table. When she saw the boy’s bruised face, she cursed under her breath."Sit down, sweetheart." Kira said gently to Nico. She guided him to a soft chair and began cleaning his split lip with an antiseptic wipe.Griffin walked directly to his hidden wall safe. He pulled out his Sovereign terminal. His mind raced with deadly calculations.He had to convince Roth that the billionaire and the anonymous broker were mortal enemies.He needed to start a fake war.He sat down on the leather sofa and opened his encrypted network.He isolated a massive dummy bank account he had created in London. It held two hundred million dollars of his newly acquired wealth.He initiated a brutal, highly visible cyber attack against his own fak

The heavy silver revolver sat on the white tablecloth.Griffin stared at the weapon. The metal reflected the bright light from the crystal chandelier. His heart hammered violently against his ribs. He kept his face completely blank.Chairman Roth smiled. His cold blue eyes watched every single movement Griffin made.Nico was shivering on the hard marble floor. The boy’s face was covered in dark purple bruises. Blood dripped slowly from his split lip. He looked up at the man he knew as his boss. The young street runner did not cry. He squeezed his eyes shut and waited for the loud gunshot.Griffin reached out his right hand. He picked up the revolver. It felt incredibly heavy and cold.He pulled the hammer back with his thumb. A sharp mechanical click echoed through the silent restaurant.Griffin aimed the gun downward, pointing the barrel directly at Nico’s head.The two armed guards stepped back slightly. Mr. Kensington leaned forward in his leather chair, eager to watch the executio
Chapter 10
The back room of the tailor shop was completely silent.Griffin sat on a small medical table.Kira carefully removed the old medical tape. She applied a strong smelling herbal ointment to his ribs, then wrapped them tightly with fresh, medical grade bandages."The swelling is going down." Kira said quietly. She secured the end of the white bandage. "But your ribs are heavily bruised. If you take another hit to the chest, the bone will snap and puncture your lung. You need absolute rest.""I do not have time to rest." Griffin said. He slowly put on a clean white t-shirt. The simple movement sent a sharp spike of pain through his side. He gritted his teeth and forced his breathing to remain steady."Malakai is bankrupt." Kira pointed out. She crossed her arms. "The bounty on the blind masseur is cancelled because nobody is paying for it. You won. You have hundreds of millions of dollars right now. You can disappear."Griffin reached into his pocket. He pulled out the small plastic case

Malakai stood perfectly still, his finger resting heavily on the trigger."Take off the jacket." Malakai repeated. His voice was a harsh, deadly whisper. "If I see medical tape, you die right here."Griffin did not reach for his buttons. He did not raise his hands in surrender.Instead, he threw his head back and laughed.It was a deep, arrogant laugh. It was the laugh of a man who held absolute power.Malakai frowned. His hand shook slightly holding the heavy gun. He expected fear. He expected panic. He did not expect the man in front of him to find the situation funny."You think I am your missing masseur?" Griffin asked. He smiled a cold, mocking smile. "You think a billionaire venture capitalist works part time rubbing your tight shoulders in a basement?""My security chief saw you on the cameras." Malakai snapped. "You were typing on an encrypted terminal. You have a data siphon. You are the Oracle.""I am Arthur Cross." Griffin said smoothly. He took a slow step forward. The bar

Malakai looked up and frowned at the stranger. "Excuse me." Malakai said coldly. He cradled his broken arm in the white sling. "Do I know you?""My name is Arthur Cross." Griffin said smoothly. He held out his right hand. He kept his voice deep and perfectly steady. Malakai hesitated, then shook the hand with his good left hand."I do not recognize the name." Malakai said suspiciously. "And I know everyone with money in this city.""I operate mostly out of London." Griffin smiled politely. "I specialize in distressed assets. I buy beautiful things that have recently caught on fire."Malakai stiffened. His eyes flashed with sudden anger. The mention of the fire was a direct insult about his destroyed casino."Are you mocking me, Mr. Cross?" Malakai asked in a deadly whisper."I am offering you a lifeline." Griffin replied calmly. He took another sip of his champagne. "The entire room knows you are bleeding cash. The casino bombing cost you half a billion dollars in physical assets a
