Chapter 62: Predator’s Trap
THE following evening, Max received an invitation to attend a private business meeting outside the city. It concerned one of the Griffin Conglomerate's subsidiaries, and according to the message, several representatives wanted to discuss the company's ongoing restructuring.Max examined the invitation on his phone before placing it on his desk. Initially, he didn't want to attend, because until now, he'd been occupied with the loss of contact with his wife.However, Scott Turner reassured him Isla was fine. Just a little sick because of the extreme weather in Azra. “Who sent this?” he asked. Trying to distract himself because his instinct kept telling him something happened to Isla.Blaze, who was standing nearby, checked the details.“It came from the regional management office. The meeting was supposedly requested by several investors who want to discuss the recent audit.”“Did they contact the office directly?”“Yes. The secretary confirmed that the invitation was legitimate, alth
Chapter 61: First Move
THE infamous underground lounge was quiet that evening. Several men dressed in black occupied the private area, their faces concealed under black masks. Nobody spoke unless necessary, and even the servers knew better than to approach the restricted section without permission.At the far end of the room, Raven sat comfortably on a leather sofa, examining a few photographs on the table. His attention was fixed on one particular image.His target, Maximus Griffin.Raven had never been this excited. Before, he thought this assignment would be the same as those boring ones, so he let the client do the deed, as he only needed to provide manpower. Normally, he would not allow it, but the kid who commissioned them was very generous.But now, things had taken a different turn since he received an anonymous tip about the hidden identity of the Griffin heir as a high-ranking mercenary.“Have you finished investigating him?” Raven asked without looking up.Beside him stood a man wearing a black s
Chapter 60: Perfect Scandal
BRIAN slammed his hand on the desk, making the documents scattered on top of it. He was inside his private study.“You idiot! How can you be this reckless?” Brian spoke through his flared nostrils.Kier stood before his father with his head lowered. He had never seen him this furious before, not even when their family’s business suffered a major loss.“Do you have any idea what you’ve done?” Brian roared.Kier clenched his fists. “Dad, I can explain—”“Explain what? That you hired the Gryphons to kill Maximus without even considering the consequences? Do you really think I wouldn’t know?”Brian rose from his chair and strode toward his son. His face was red with anger, and his eyes glared at him with disbelief.“I told you to be careful! I told you not to make any reckless moves against that man until we understood his capabilities. And what did you do? You went behind my back and commissioned the most notorious assassins in the underworld to take his head!”“I thought they could fini
Chapter 59: The Rogue Squad
ADARA couldn’t conceal her excitement as soon as she found out that the squad would reunite again after three years without any contact.“I think Lev has arrived,” she announced.Zihan raised an eyebrow. “That was fast. I thought the Arctic Fox was still hunting in the Himalayas.”“He was. Apparently, the Captain’s call is obviously more important than whatever he was hunting.”Zihan chuckled. “Sounds like Lev. He could be tracking a target across an entire mountain range, but if the Captain calls, he’ll abandon the hunt without hesitation. Even I would do the same.”Before Adara could respond, the sound of an approaching vehicle caught their attention. Through the window, they saw a tall man stepping out of a black SUV. He wore a dark winter jacket, black trousers, and heavy boots, carrying a compact travel bag over one shoulder. His sharp eyes surveyed the estate before he headed toward the mansion.Lev Kuznetsov had arrived.Adara walked toward the entrance to greet him.“It’s been
Chapter 58: Hidden Enemy
LILIANE Turner sat inside her private study, reviewing several confidential reports from the Turner pharmaceutical empire when her phone vibrated. She glanced at the screen and immediately opened the message from one of her trusted spies stationed in Azra. [Subject: ISLA TURNER] The report detailed Isla’s arrival at the underground facility, her discovery of the genetic experiments, and her emotional breakdown after witnessing the treatment of the human subjects. “As expected from my daughter, she must be really shocked.” Liliane clicked her tongue. It also mentioned her heated confrontation with Ivan and her repeated attempts to contact her husband, which had all failed. “I knew it, she’s too emotional.” She let out a sigh. Her daughter had finally discovered the truth about the Turner Legacy. She had always known this day would come, but she hadn’t expected Isla to react so strongly. Isla had grown up believing that their pharmaceutical empire existed to develop
