Chapter 37
Gideon stopped right beside the open door of the dark sedan, his hand resting on the polished metal frame.He slowly looked down at the woman kneeling in the wet street before his combat boots.Cassandra’s trembling hands reached out through the cold air, trying to grab the hem of his dark wool coat.Black mascara and smeared red lipstick ran down her pale cheeks in dirty, ugly lines. Her expensive silk dress was ripped down the sides, soaked through with gray street mud and rainwater."Gideon, please look at me!" Cassandra wept, her voice breaking into a ragged, pitiful sob. "I am begging you on my knees! You cannot just walk away and leave me here in the dirt!"Gideon did not pull his coat away, nor did he step backward to avoid her muddy fingers. He looked down at her face with eyes as still and black as an icy lake in winter.There was no fiery anger on his face, no bitter hatred in his frown, and no desire for revenge in his gaze. There was only a vast, empty silence that felt co
Chapter 36
Word of the five-billion-dollar withdrawal leaked through the bank doors faster than a spreading fire.Inside the banking hall, terrified clerks frantically called their families on mobile phones, whispering that the vaults were completely empty. Within minutes, emergency news alerts flashed across every television screen and mobile phone in the coastal district.Outside on the street, hundreds of ordinary citizens, factory workers, and elderly retirees rushed toward the marble building. They banged their fists against the shattered glass doors, their frightened voices rising into a deafening roar as they demanded their life savings."Give us our money back!" an old fisherman screamed, shaking his bank passbook in the air. "I worked thirty years on the boats for my savings! Open the doors!""My company payroll is in this bank!" a small shopkeeper wailed, trying to force his way past the security barricades. "If I cannot pay my workers today, my family will starve on the street!"Insid

The glowing gold numbers on the computer screen did not disappear. The five-billion-dollar balance flashed steadily, lighting up Chairman Julian Drake’s pale face with a blinding glow.Across the entire executive floor, not a single person breathed. The private bank clerks dropped their pens, their eyes wide with utter shock.Downstairs in the main lobby, the tellers stopped talking, staring at their own monitors as the massive transaction cleared through the central system.Julian rubbed his eyes with both hands, pressing his fingers into his temples until his skin turned red. He shook his head violently, praying that the bright screen was just a bad dream."Five billion dollars..." Julian choked out, his voice cracking into a high, dry whisper. "From the Northern Border Logistics Headquarters... it cleared in three seconds."Behind him, Dominic Caldwell stumbled against the doorframe, his wooden cane slipping from his sweaty grip and hitting the floor.Dominic clutched his broken ri

Shards of shattered glass crunched loudly beneath Gideon’s heavy combat boots as he crossed the bank lobby. The bank tellers cowered beneath their counters in terror, while the remaining guards backed away against the walls.Gideon did not look at any of them. He walked forward with slow, steady steps, his grip firm on the black metal briefcase in his right hand.Up at the top of the wide marble staircase, Dominic Caldwell leaned heavily against the gold railing. A loud, raspy laugh tore from Dominic’s lips as he looked down at the lone figure below.Beside Dominic stood Cassandra Reed, smoothing her silk dress and looking down with a cruel, mocking sneer. Chairman Julian Drake stepped up between them, swirling the champagne in his crystal glass with complete amusement."Look at him, Dominic!" Cassandra laughed, her high-pitched voice echoing across the open ceiling of the bank. "He broke the front glass like a common wild animal because he has nowhere else to run!"Dominic spat a spec

At two o'clock in the afternoon, a long black luxury sedan pulled up to the front entrance of Dragon Bay Commercial Bank.Dominic Caldwell climbed out of the car, leaning heavily on his black wooden cane with a crooked sneer on his bruised face. Right beside him walked Cassandra Reed, wearing a tight new silk dress and heavy makeup to hide the scratches from the gutter.Just two hours earlier, she had crawled on her knees to Dominic’s office, weeping and begging for one last chance after the reporters ruined her in the street."Dominic, you know I only spoke to Gideon to spy on him," Cassandra whispered softly, holding Dominic’s arm with both hands as they walked toward the doors. "I wanted to find out his plans so I could help you destroy him."Dominic chuckled darkly, not believing a single word that came out of her mouth, but he kept her close for now. "Save your sweet lies, Cassandra. Today, you help me orchestrate Serena Ashford's total bankruptcy, or I will throw you back into th
Chapter 32
Dominic Caldwell burst into the penthouse office of the Caldwell Consortium tower, his chest heaving in wild, ragged gasps. He slammed the heavy mahogany door shut behind him and locked it with shaking hands, collapsing flat against the wood.His white shirt was torn, his bandaged ribs burned with terrible fire, and cold sweat dripped from his bruised chin. He could still hear the heavy titanium cuffs clicking around Bradley Vance's wrists, echoing like a death bell in his ears.Across the massive room, an old wheelchair sat near the window, surrounded by empty medicine bottles and bloodied white towels. Silas Caldwell slumped in the leather seat, clutching his knees as foul black bile dripped steadily from his trembling lips.The thirty-day curse burned like boiling acid inside Silas’s bones, turning his yellow skin as gray as a tombstone. Every heartbeat sent sharp knives of agony shooting through his sealed spine, tearing ragged groans from his throat.Hearing the door slam, Silas s
