Ten years ago, Leo Wills was the heir to a dynasty—until the Sterling Group framed his father, seized his home, and left his family to rot in the gutters of Riverdale. He vanished into the shadows of the global frontline, forging himself into the King of War, a commander of the invisible Ghost Legion. Now, he’s back in his city, wearing a janitor’s blue coveralls and cleaning up the filth of the elite with tactical precision. He isn't just looking for an apology; he’s here to collect a debt that can only be paid in blood and billions. The Sterlings think they own the law, the land, and the air the poor breathe. They don't know that the "janitor" in their lobby has the world’s most lethal mercenaries on speed-dial and the power to freeze their empire with a single phone call. From high-society galas turned into tactical traps to the cold-blooded seizure of corporate skyscrapers, Leo is dismantling the hierarchy brick by brick. The Ghost Protocol has been activated: the house is being reclaimed, the "Silent Shareholder" has spoken, and the usurpers are about to learn that some ghosts don't stay buried—they come back to rule.
