10: Second Major Dose
Chapter Ten: The Second Major DoseThe smell of smoke still hung in the air, with burnt vehicles blocking the road while emergency teams rushed to help the wounded.Nathan Cole dusted off his suit before walking toward Asher. For a long moment, he stared at him: "I owe you my life."Asher shook his head: "You owe your men. They bought us enough time."Nathan looked at the injured officers being carried into ambulances.His eyes softened."I won't forget their sacrifice."Before Asher could reply, a black SUV sped toward them. The vehicle hadn't even stopped when an intelligence officer jumped out."Young Heir!"General Hale frowned and moved his lips faster: "What happened?"The officer swallowed hard: "The explosion wasn't random."Asher's eyes narrowed: "Report.""The mountain communications relay… has been destroyed."Everyone froze.Nathan's expression changed instantly: "The relay station? Impossible, that's one of the most secure facilities in the Eastern region."The officer no

A convoy of five black vehicles moved steadily through the narrow pass. Inside the second vehicle sat Nathan Cole, the Director of National Security. He was on his way back to the Capital after inspecting a military research facility.Two security officers sat beside him. Everything seemed normal, too normal that it raised eyebrows.At the old estate. General Hale stood before a large digital map. A blinking blue dot showed the convoy's location: "They've entered the pass." He looked at Asher: "If we're going, we need to leave now."Asher calmly zipped up his black jacket: "How many men are ready?""Twelve."He tutted his lips: "Too many."General Hale blinked: "Too many?"Asher nodded: "If this is really an ambush, then a large team will only become a bigger target." He pointed at three names on the screen: "Take them while the rest stay here."General Hale slowly nodded in growing comprehension. Within minutes, a black SUV sped out of the estate. No flashing lights or military escor
08: Men Behind The Curtain
The Bennett Group headquarters, for the first time in years, felt like a sinking ship. The reception area, once crowded with clients and investors, was almost empty.Employees whispered among themselves about the loss of historic contracts. A big hit so far that questions have been raised on the sustainability of the establishment.Some of the staff members quietly updated their résumés for openings in other firms while others refreshed their email inboxes every few minutes, hoping for good news that never came.Apparently, inside the boardroom. Elaine Bennett slammed a folder onto the table, her voice cold as ice: "There has to be a mistake!"She glared at every executive present: "Three investors don't withdraw on the same day without a reason. It hardly happens!"One director cleared his throat and leaned a little further: "We've contacted all of them. They all gave the same answer."Elaine’s throat tightened: "What answer?"The man hesitated: "They said… they're no longer interest
07: Sunshine
The next afternoon, the Bennett Villa was unusually quiet. Yesterday's celebration had ended in humiliation.The expensive decorations were gone, and the laughter had disappeared.Elaine sat in the living room with a dark expression. The newspapers lying on the table only made her angrier.Although none of them mentioned the Bennett family by name. Everyone in the business circle already knew Blackstone Development had abruptly abandoned a major partnership.Phones that usually rang nonstop had become silent. Several business partners hadn't returned her calls.Elaine slammed the newspaper onto the table: "It was bad luck. It had to be."No one answered.Even the relatives who had praised her yesterday now avoided meeting her eyes.A heavy silence lived in the villa.Just then, small footsteps strode from the staircase. Lily walked downstairs wearing her school uniform.She carefully held the little sunflower Asher had given her. The tiny flower had already turned toward the morning l
06: First Major Dose
The Bennett Villa had never been this lively. Luxury cars filled the driveway, and well-dressed guests walked in and out of the mansion with smiles on their faces. Crystal glasses clinked together as waiters moved through the crowd.Everyone was here for one reason: to witness the Bennett family's biggest business deal.Elaine Bennett stood in the center of the living room wearing an expensive burgundy dress, accepting one compliment after another."Congratulations, Mrs. Bennett. I heard Blackstone Development personally chose your family.""The Bennett Group is about to become one of the city's biggest developers."Elaine laughed proudly: "It was only a matter of time. My family deserves this."One of her sisters smiled knowingly: "You also made the right decision."Elaine raised an eyebrow: "Huh? What decision?""Driving that useless son-in-law out."The room burst into laughter."If Asher were still here, Blackstone would've walked away the moment they saw him. Who would work with
05: Invisible King
General Hale beamed and nodded. He opened the steel door Asher fully stepped inside.The room interior screamed of preserved legacy. It was beyond the golden chandeliers, the expensive decorations, or the luxurious office that Asher had seen in Eastern ports.Instead, the row of desks that filled the hall caught his attention. Men and women quietly worked behind them with discipline.Some studied thick files, a different group spoke softly into secure phones, while others watched streams of numbers moving across giant screens.The entire room was busy, yet they didn't buzz everywhere with noise. It felt less like a company and more like a military command center.General Hale smiled: "The Master hated indiscipline. He believed people who truly worked didn't have time for eye service."Asher's eyes glanced across the hall. No one was feigning loyalty in his presence or trying to flatter him.Then...A young secretary noticed him. Her fingers froze above the keyboard. She blinked twice,
