Chapter 31: Warning from Alex
That night, Nate sat alone in his apartment, gazing at the distant lights of London from his window. The city had become a battleground between the forces of good and evil, and now he found himself at the forefront of this war. As he pondered how it would all end, Nate felt the weight of responsibility growing heavier on his shoulders. Once, he was merely a pawn of the organization’s higher-ups, a killer who had never failed. He had done everything, just to find peace on the day he retired. He knew that what he did was a sin, and someday, that sin might demand a payment from him. “Is this the time?” Nate muttered, questioning himself. Fighting against a great power with limited resources now seemed harder than he had imagined. But he had started all of this, and he couldn’t back down now. Morgan Ramsey was not an opponent to be underestimated. He had everything—power, money, and connections. But Nate knew that Ramsey also had a weakness. And that weakness was his ego. Ramsey alwa

Chapter 32: When Plans Fall Apart
In his grand office, Morgan Ramsey sat with his head bowed, massaging his throbbing temples. Everything was beginning to feel heavy for him—too many things to handle, and everything seemed on the brink of collapse. The charity auction that had been meticulously planned to raise funds for Alex Hughes' campaign was fast approaching, and the pressure to ensure the event's success was weighing on his mind. On top of that, their grand scheme to take down Alex's political rivals was becoming increasingly complex, and now he also had to deal with the threat from Nate and his team, who always seemed to be one step closer.The phone on Morgan's desk rang, breaking the oppressive silence that made the room feel even smaller. He glanced at the screen, seeing Bella's name displayed. With a heavy sigh, he picked up the phone and answered the call in a flat tone.“Bella, I want to talk about the auction,” Morgan said without preamble. "We have to cancel our previous request. A problem has come up."

Chapter 33: When Plans Unravel
In the dimly lit room, Nate stood from his chair and gestured to Rachel and Elias, who had been waiting outside. The three of them had meticulously planned every detail, and now they just needed to ensure that Armand would follow through on his promise.Rachel glanced at Armand with a watchful gaze, while Elias looked at Nate with deep respect. "Are we doing this tonight?" Elias asked firmly.Nate nodded. "Yes. We don’t have much time. Morgan will soon realize that Armand is missing, and we need to move quickly before he has a chance to cover his tracks."Rachel, always the skeptic, gave Armand another look. "Are you sure he won’t try to play us? Something still feels off."Nate gently patted Rachel’s shoulder, trying to reassure her. "I understand your concern, Rachel. But we have to take this risk. It’s the only way to expose Morgan’s grand plan."That night, under the cover of darkness, Nate and his team brought Armand to the location where all the evidence was stored. The tension

Chapter 34: Bait at the End of the Line
Nate sat in his team’s headquarters, a hidden room far from public view. In front of him were scattered various documents, flash drives, and CCTV recordings—all evidence they had taken from Armand Kessler. These pieces of evidence not only revealed numerous illegal transactions but also implicated Morgan Ramsey in a grand conspiracy that threatened the city of London.Nate clutched a flash drive, examining it closely. "This is enough to charge Morgan with multiple criminal offenses," he thought, though he knew the game wasn't over yet. Morgan was too smart and cunning to be caught easily. But Nate had a bigger plan. He didn’t just want to hand over this evidence to the authorities. He wanted to lure Morgan out, ensuring that the man was cornered and had no choice but to face Nate and his team directly.Rachel, sitting next to him, watched Nate intently. “You look like you’re thinking about something serious,” Rachel said, her tone curious.Nate nodded with a faint smile. “We have ever

Chapter 35: The Final Preparations
After receiving Morgan Ramsey’s threatening message, Nate Archer knew that this meeting wouldn’t be straightforward. Morgan, with all his cunning, agreed to meet Nate at the docks—a location open but filled with potential traps. For Nate, this was a sign that Morgan was getting cornered. But he also knew that a cornered enemy could be more dangerous than ever.Nate sat in the main room of their small hideout, staring at a map of the docks spread out on the table. Rachel sat across from him, intently focused on her laptop, searching for security gaps and possible escape routes. Meanwhile, Elias was calmly inspecting and preparing their weapons in the corner of the room.“We know Morgan won’t come alone,” Nate said without taking his eyes off the map. “He’ll definitely bring his men, and I’m sure he’ll set up traps there. We need to be ready for anything.”Rachel nodded, her fingers still dancing across the keyboard. “I’m monitoring the communications traffic around the docks. If there’

He was a shrewd politician, but the past few days had been a significant test of his power. The situation with Morgan Ramsey, his trusted ally, was becoming increasingly complicated and unpredictable.A soft knock at the door pulled Alex from his thoughts. "Come in," he said with a firm voice.The door slowly opened, revealing a middle-aged man with a serious expression. It was Derek, one of Alex's most loyal confidants. Derek had always been Alex's eyes and ears in the field, ensuring every move was made with the utmost caution."Sir, I have a report on Morgan Ramsey," Derek said, his voice low but meaningful.Alex motioned for Derek to come closer. "Sit down and tell me what you've found."Derek took a seat in front of Alex and began to report his findings. “Morgan seems increasingly restl

The man had never felt so cornered in his life. Nate Archer had forced him out of the shadows, and now, in this place, the battle that they knew would be the decider was about to begin.Morgan stepped out of his black car with a heavy stride, followed by several armed men who appeared vigilant. He scanned the area carefully, ensuring that every corner of the harbor was under his control. His men quickly spread out, taking positions among the large containers that obscured much of the harbor's view. The harbor, usually a bustling place for loading and unloading goods, had now become a battleground filled with tension."The Shadow! I'm here, just as you demanded!" Morgan shouted, his voice loud and clear.In the distance, atop a stack of high containers, Nate revealed himself. "You didn't think this would be easy for you, did

But Emma remained calm, as she always did.When Emma heard rumors about a deal at the port, her instincts immediately told her that Nate might be involved.

On the drive home, the atmosphere in the car was quite calm, but a lingering tension hung in the air. Light rain drizzled against the windows, creating a monotonous yet soothing rhythm. However, no one spoke, as if each of them was lost in their own thoughts.Rachel finally broke the silence. "Is it over?" she asked, her voice soft but full of uncertainty. She looked at Nate, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, hoping for a definitive answer.Nate remained focused on the road ahead, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. After a moment, he took a deep breath, as if carefully considering his response. "No," he finally replied. "It’s not really over."Rachel frowned, still not fully understanding. "But... Morgan is dead. Wasn’t he the core of all this?"Nate turned slightly towards Rachel, his gaze filled with determination. "Morgan was a big part of the problem, but he wasn’t the only one. What we’re dealing with is more than just one person. There’s an entire network, an ent

After a long and exhausting journey, Emma Lawson finally arrived at her small but cozy apartment in the heart of London. She carefully took off her jacket and placed it on a chair, then headed to the bathroom to wash away the dust and grime that clung to her. Despite her body's fatigue, her mind remained active, recalling the various events that had just transpired.As she let the warm water flow in the bathroom, Emma stared at her reflection in the mirror, water streaming down her face. After a moment, she decided to sit on the edge of the bathtub, letting the water run as she gathered her thoughts. In the silence of her apartment, filled only by the sound of running water, memories from the past began to resurface, haunting her mind.Emma and Nate had once shared a very close bond in the past.
