Chapter 221The next day, just as Williams and Mr. Sterling had planned, Williams decided to investigate Peter, the juror that Barrister Harris Drums had mentioned before he was killed.Williams was convinced that Harris wasn't lying. Facing death can make anyone reveal their deepest and darkest secrets.He disguised himself in a plain suit and glasses. He went to the court early in the morning, trying to blend in with the crowd. He looked like any other person attending the trial, but his eyes were sharp, scanning the room for Peter.Just as he arrived at the courthouse, Williams was greeted by a security guard standing near the entrance. The guard, a burly man with a stern face, eyed him with suspicion.Williams approached with a casual smile. "Good morning. I'm looking for a Mr. Peter, one of the jurors. Could you point him out to me?"The guard's eyes narrowed as he scanned Williams from head to toe. "Why are you looking for Peter?"Williams chuckled lightly, trying to seem as non

Chapter 223After the call with Williams, Mr. Sterling quickly gave the details of Peter's car to Morris Huggo, who was in the front seat, ready for action."Blue sedan, license plate PTR 558. Middle-aged guy with graying hair," Mr. Sterling relayed the information.Morris nodded approvingly, always ready to carry out Mr. Sterling's evil intentions. "Got it. I'll handle it."Mr. Sterling added, "One more thing. Before you do it, make sure you retrieve all the dollar notes in his possession. I don't want any traces coming back to us."Morris gave a reassuring nod. "Consider it done."They continued the drive, scanning the road ahead. After a few minutes, Morris spotted Peter's car coming from the opposite direction. "That's him," he said, pointing.Mr. Sterling glanced at the car and then instructed the driver, "Trail him. Keep a safe distance. We need to find a discreet location."The driver nodded and fell in behind Peter's car, maintaining a careful distance. They followed him throu

Chapter 225After paying Richard a visit and spending quality time with Alisha, Liam left the hospital and drove home, looking forward to a good rest after the day. But on his way, his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was one of his top workers."Hello, what's up?" Liam answered."Hello sir, it's Carter Comb. The building is on fire!" The worker's voice was filled with panic."What?!" Liam couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Are you sure? How bad is it?""It's not a small fire," the worker continued, his voice trembling. "You need to come down right away. The fire department is on their way, but it's spreading fast."Panic and terror gripped Liam. "I'm on my way," he said, ending the call abruptly. He pressed down on the gas pedal, driving as fast as he could towards Carter Comb.As he drove, he dialed another number, calling Kai Nakamura. "This is Liam. Have you heard about the fire at Carter Comb?""Fire? No," came the reply. "I'll be heading there now. Do you ha

Chapter 227When Liam arrived at the scene, Williams and Morris got the news and realized their plan was proceeding smoothly.Williams initiated the third step of their plan: bring Liam inside, make him open the control center, change the password, steal crucial data, force Liam to reveal everything he knew about their operation at EMC, and then eliminate him by throwing him into the fire, claiming he was a victim of the blaze.Williams approached the Carter Comb staff member who was in charge and helping his colleagues put out the fire. "Hey, I need you to bring Mr. Carter into the building," he said, keeping his tone urgent but calm. "The fire is about to ravage the control center, and we need him to give us the password to prevent further damage."The staff member nodded, not suspecting anything, and quickly went to fetch Liam. It wasn’t long until Williams saw a trembling Liam Carter walking towards them, wearing a safety jacket and goggles. The fear was evident on his face, but s

Chapter 229Kai Nakamura was practicing Kung Fu in Liam's gym after a long day of work. Liam had asked him to accompany him to visit Richard Carl at the hospital, but Kai had refused, preferring to stay back and train.As he executed a series of precise moves, his phone rang, interrupting his focus. It was Liam, and his urgent tone conveyed panic. Liam told him that Carter Comb was on fire.Kai was stunned. He couldn’t quite grasp how Carter Comb, one of the most secure and safest companies in Emerald Falls, could be up in flames. “What? How is that possible?” he asked, but the line was already disconnected.Quickly, he dashed to his wardrobe, throwing on some clothes. His heart pounded as he hurried outside, hopping into one of the sports cars. He started the engine and sped towards the company, his mind racing with questions and a growing sense of unease.As he drove, his thoughts kept circling around the cause of the fire. It didn’t make sense. Carter Comb was designed to be nearly
