CHAPTER 178
The Name That Shook the CityThe moment the guard finished speaking, the atmosphere inside Chairman Clair’s office became unbearably heavy. Even the distant sounds of helicopters outside the building could now be heard faintly through the shattered executive windows. San Clemente was waking up to the news far faster than anyone expected.Ross’s expression immediately darkened.“Damn it.”Laura frowned deeply.“This was coordinated.”Chairman Clair slowly rubbed his forehead tiredly, looking older than before.“Of course it was.”Edward’s face had also changed now. The confidence he carried earlier was gradually being replaced by unease because he understood exactly what this meant.Brian Maxwell’s return was no longer a secret.It was public.And once something reached the public in a city like San Clemente, there was no putting it back into the shadows again.George suddenly looked nervous for the first time tonight.“You mean… everyone knows now?”Ross gave him a cold look.“Not eve
CHAPTER 177
The City Begins to TrembleA heavy silence filled Chairman Clair’s office after his final words. Outside the shattered executive windows, the lights of San Clemente stretched endlessly into the distance, beautiful and peaceful from above, yet everyone inside the room could already feel the tension slowly spreading beneath the city’s surface. The atmosphere no longer felt like a simple conflict between businessmen or rivals. It had become something much larger.George’s face looked ugly after hearing Chairman Clair openly declare him finished.“What exactly does that mean?”Chairman Clair slowly returned to his seat, his expression exhausted.“It means your usefulness has ended.”George’s eyes widened instantly.“You used me?”Edward immediately stepped forward.“Chairman, careful with your words.”But the old man ignored him completely.“For years, Clair Group tolerated your recklessness because you still had value. Your family connections, your influence, your network in the undergro
CHAPTER 176
The Chairman’s SecretThe sudden appearance of the elderly man overlooking the battlefield immediately changed the atmosphere outside Clair Group headquarters. Even the gunfire gradually stopped as both sides instinctively lowered their weapons. The tension in the street remained unbearable, but nobody moved recklessly anymore.Samantha stared upward in disbelief.“Chairman Clair…”The old man standing near the shattered executive floor windows looked far older and weaker than the powerful image people usually associated with him publicly. His silver hair was slightly disordered, and although he still carried the aura of someone used to authority, there was obvious exhaustion visible on his face tonight.Several armed guards surrounded him cautiously while one of them held onto his arm as if worried he might collapse.Edward’s expression changed instantly.“Chairman…”George looked equally stunned.“What is he doing here?”Brian’s eyes narrowed slightly while studying the old man care
CHAPTER 175
Blood Debts Must Be PaidThe atmosphere outside Clair Group headquarters instantly became suffocating as armed men surrounded the area. The city streets that had looked normal moments earlier suddenly transformed into a battlefield waiting to erupt. Men dressed in black tactical clothing occupied rooftops, vehicles, and nearby alleyways while weapons gleamed beneath the city lights.Samantha’s heartbeat quickened immediately.This was different from the earlier attack at the estate.Far more organized.Far more prepared.Ross slowly stepped closer toward Brian while discreetly signaling the guards behind them to hold formation.“We’re boxed in.”Brian’s expression remained calm as his eyes slowly scanned the surrounding area.“Yes.”Laura looked furious.“So this was a trap.”Edward Lee smiled casually while adjusting his suit again, looking completely satisfied with the situation unfolding around him.“Mr. Maxwell, you really should learn to think before charging into places blindly.
CHAPTER 174
Storming Clair GroupThe atmosphere inside the mansion became tense again the moment Brian gave his order. Ross immediately understood from the look in Brian’s eyes that nothing anyone said now would stop him. The calmness surrounding him had already changed into something far more dangerous. It was the kind of silence that appeared before destruction.Ross nodded firmly.“I’ll prepare the convoy immediately.”Brian adjusted his black coat calmly while Samantha continued holding his arm. Her green eyes were filled with worry and frustration at the same time because she could already tell what kind of night this was becoming again.“You’re seriously going there now?”Brian looked at her quietly.“Yes.”“Brian, you just survived an attack less than an hour ago.”“And George escaped less than an hour ago.”His answer came instantly.Samantha bit her lower lip slightly.“But you don’t even know exactly what’s happening over there yet.”Brian’s gaze darkened faintly.“I know enough.”Ross
CHAPTER 173
The Monster Has Been ReleasedA suffocating silence filled the living room after Ross delivered the news. Even the air itself seemed to grow heavier as everyone slowly processed the meaning behind those words. Samantha’s expression immediately tightened while Laura’s face darkened visibly. Thomas looked confused at first, but the reactions around him quickly made him realize how serious the situation truly was.Brian’s eyes narrowed dangerously.“How many guards?”Ross looked down briefly before answering.“Six.”Samantha inhaled sharply.“All dead?”Ross nodded slowly.“They were executed professionally.”The atmosphere instantly became colder.Because everyone understood what that meant.This wasn’t a random escape.It was planned.Carefully planned.Brian’s expression remained calm, but the terrifying stillness around him had returned. Samantha had already started recognizing that silence. It was the same silence he carried moments before violence erupted outside earlier tonight.R
