Gerald had laughed bitterly.“You wouldn’t understand. Your loyalty blinds you, just like it blinded him.”The words haunted Molly.Was Max truly in the dark about his family’s past?And if so, could she risk showing him the photograph?Hours later, Red Fang returned to the estate, his expression grim.Max met him in the study, where maps and documents were scattered across the desk.“We’ve got a lead on Hargrove,” Red Fang said, dropping a folder on the table.“He’s holed up in a safe house just outside the city. But there’s a problem.”“What kind of problem?” Max asked, already bracing for bad news.“The safe house is under siege,” Red Fang replied.“Elliot’s men found him first. If we don’t move quickly, Hargrove won’t make it out alive.”Max clenched his fists.“Then we move now. Gather the team. We’re bringing him back.”In the estate’s war room, Max outlined the plan to his team.Red Fang would lead the extraction, with Max providing oversight.Emily offered her family’s resourc

The moonlight barely cut through the dense canopy of trees as Max and his team sped toward the safe house.Inside the lead SUV, Max’s fingers drummed against his thigh, his sharp eyes fixed on the tactical map displayed on the dashboard.“Red Fang,” Max said, his voice calm but commanding.“What’s the situation?”Red Fang, seated beside him, checked his comms.“Outer defenses have been breached. They’ve got advanced equipment—thermal scanners, explosives. This isn’t a smash-and-grab; it’s a full assault.”Max’s jaw tightened. “What about Hargrove?”“No response yet,” Red Fang replied. “If he’s smart, he’s in the panic room.”Emily, leaning forward from the back seat, frowned. “And if he’s not?”Max didn’t answer.The tension in the vehicle was palpable, the sound of the tires on gravel the only noise as they neared their destination.In the dimly lit confines of the panic room, Mr. Hargrove sat hunched over, sweat dripping down his temples.He clutched a tablet displaying encrypted fi

They moved quickly but cautiously, navigating through overturned furniture and signs of the earlier firefight.Emily scanned the area, her movements fluid and deliberate.Molly trailed behind, her heart pounding as every creak of the floorboards sent a jolt of fear through her.Suddenly, a shadow moved in the corner of Max’s vision.He raised his weapon just as Victor Kane stepped into view, his rifle trained on them.“Well, well,” Victor said, his voice calm and taunting.“Max Montgomery. You always seem to show up where you’re least wanted.”“Victor,” Max replied coldly, not lowering his weapon.“Still playing second fiddle, I see.”Victor smirked.“Second fiddle? No, Max. I’m the conductor now. And this symphony ends with you.”Without warning, Victor fired. Max shoved Emily and Molly into cover before diving behind an overturned table.The gunfire was deafening as the two men exchanged shots, their movements sharp and calculated.While Max kept Victor occupied, Emily grabbed Molly

The beeping of the bomb timer echoed through the crumbling safe house, each shrill tone hammering home the urgency of the moment.Red Fang barked orders over the chaos, his voice sharp and commanding.“Move! Everyone out, now!”Max gritted his teeth as he slung Emily over his shoulder.Blood trickled down her temple, her face pale but her breathing steady.Behind him, Molly clutched the encrypted documents, her knuckles white as she followed closely.“How much time do we have?” Max shouted.“Not enough!” Red Fang snapped, firing a burst from his rifle to cover their retreat.“Ten seconds, maybe less!”The group burst out of the safe house just as the final beep turned into a deafening boom.The force of the explosion threw them forward, the heat searing their skin as debris rained down like a fiery storm.Max hit the ground hard, his body rolling to absorb the impact before everything went black.When Max’s eyes fluttered open, his vision was blurred, and his ears rang from the blast.

The tension in the room was suffocating. Gerald’s hand shook slightly as he held the gun to Emily’s temple, but his expression was cold and determined.Emily’s eyes were wide with fear, yet her lips remained pressed in a firm line.“Hand over the documents, Max,” Gerald demanded, his voice steady but edged with bitterness.“Or I’ll put a bullet in her head.”Molly clutched the encrypted tablet tightly, her knuckles white.“Gerald, how can you do this? You’re family!”“Family?” Gerald scoffed, his laugh harsh and hollow.“That’s rich, coming from someone who’s been here for five minutes. You don’t know what this family is like.”Max stepped forward slowly, his hands raised in a gesture of peace.“Gerald, put the gun down. We can talk about this.”“There’s nothing to talk about!” Gerald barked, his voice rising.“You don’t understand, Max. You’ve always had everything handed to you. Power, respect, trust. And what did I get? Cast aside by our grandfather. Years of loyalty, and he gives

The Montgomery estate was shrouded in tension. Max stormed into his grandfather’s study, his mind swirling with Gerald’s accusations.Theodore Montgomery sat behind his massive oak desk, flipping through a folder with deliberate calmness as though nothing was amiss.“Grandfather,” Max began, his voice sharp.“We need to talk.”Theodore looked up, his piercing blue eyes narrowing.“This is about Gerald, isn’t it?”Max slammed his hands on the desk.“Yes, and what he said about my father. He claimed Elliot knows the truth. What truth? What aren’t you telling me?”Theodore’s expression hardened, and he leaned back in his chair.“Max, this is neither the time nor the place to dig up old wounds.”“That’s not good enough,” Max snapped.“Gerald said you destroyed him, and now he’s working with Elliot to dismantle our family. If there’s something I need to know, you owe me the truth.”Theodore’s jaw clenched, but he didn’t respond.“Why are you protecting him?” Max demanded.“What happened be

Later that evening, Max checked in on Emily, who was resting in one of the estate’s guest rooms. She was propped up on a pile of pillows, a soft blanket draped over her, but the color had returned to her cheeks.“You shouldn’t be walking around,” Max said, leaning against the doorframe.Emily smiled faintly.“And you shouldn’t be carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.”He stepped inside, taking a seat beside her bed. “You scared me back there.”“I’m fine,” she assured him.“Thanks to you.”Their eyes met, and for a moment, the chaos of the outside world seemed to fade. Emily reached out, her fingers brushing against his.“You’ve been through so much, Max. More than anyone should have to handle. And yet, you keep fighting. I don’t know how you do it.”He looked away, his voice low.“Sometimes, I don’t either.”Emily squeezed his hand. “Just know you don’t have to do it alone.”Her words lingered in his mind long after he left her room.Meanwhile, Molly sat alone in the est

In a dimly lit penthouse overlooking the city, Elliot paced back and forth, his frustration palpable.Victor Kane sat on a leather couch nursing his injuries, while Razor leaned casually against a window, his smirk betraying his excitement.“Gerald was supposed to be the key,” Elliot snapped, slamming his fist on a table.“Now he’s in their custody, spilling everything.”Victor leaned forward, his voice calm but deadly.“If he talks, it’s only a matter of time before they piece together your next moves.”“Which is why we strike first,” Elliot growled, his eyes blazing.“The Montgomery family has been untouchable for too long, but their arrogance is their weakness. We don’t just attack their defenses—we dismantle their empire from the inside out.”Razor chuckled, twirling a blade in his fingers.“And let me guess—you’ve got a plan?”Elliot smirked, his confidence returning.“Of course. We go after their public image and financial stability. By the time I’m done, the Montgomery name wil

“I gave everything for you,” Elliot whispered, his voice cracking.“I turned myself into a monster for you.”Nathaniel leaned forward slightly, his voice calm and steady.“And now you have a choice. You can let go of that monster. You can be better than the lies they fed you.”Elliot’s finger hovered over the trigger. His face twisted with anguish, his body trembling under the weight of his decision.Finally, with a shuddering breath, he lowered the gun.Nathaniel exhaled, relief flickering across his weary face.“Elliot…”Max stepped forward cautiously, his voice soft.“You made the right choice, Elliot. This doesn’t have to end in blood.”Elliot turned to Max, his expression hollow.“You think this changes anything? It doesn’t. The damage is already done.”“It changes everything,” Max said firmly.“It means you still have a chance to stop this madness. To rebuild.”Before Elliot could respond, the sound of footsteps echoed through the chamber.Max spun around, his heart sinking as V

Nathaniel’s voice cracked.“It wasn’t Max. It wasn’t his father. It was Reginald. And now you’re about to destroy the very thing I wanted to build with Alexander.”Elliot’s arm shook as he kept his gun raised, his knuckles white.“No… no. This can’t be true.”Max stepped forward cautiously, his voice unwavering.“You can end this, Elliot. Right now. Read the proof, or keep going down this path of destruction.”Elliot glared at Max, his body trembling with rage.“You think this makes us even? That I’ll just walk away? You’ve ruined me, Max.”“No,” Max said, his tone firm.“Reginald ruined you. I’m just trying to stop you from destroying what’s left of your father’s legacy—and yourself.”Elliot’s gaze darted to the files on the floor, then back to Max.His breathing was ragged, his finger twitching on the trigger.Nathaniel spoke again, his voice filled with both desperation and love.“Elliot, please. You’ve always been better than this. Don’t let Reginald’s lies define you.”Elliot’s l

Elliot raised his gun, aiming it at Theodore.“Here’s the deal, Max. You surrender, right now, and maybe I’ll let them live. Or… you can keep fighting and watch your grandfather and Nathaniel die before your eyes.”Max’s mind raced as he gripped his weapon tighter.The room was silent, the weight of Elliot’s ultimatum pressing down on him.Elliot tilted his head, his smirk widening.“What’s it going to be, Max?”heodore Montgomery sat rigid in his chair, his eyes locked on Elliot with a mixture of defiance and sorrow.Beside him, Nathaniel Stoke, frail and weak, shifted slightly, his tired eyes falling on his son.Elliot stood in the center of it all, his gun still raised, a smug smirk hiding the turmoil beneath.“You really think this charade is going to work, Max? Bringing him here to play the part of the martyr?”Nathaniel coughed, his voice hoarse but steady.“This… isn’t a charade, Elliot.”Elliot’s smirk faltered, replaced by confusion.“What?”Nathaniel met his son’s gaze, his

Red Fang smirked, rolling his shoulders.“Good. I like a challenge. Go.”Emily grabbed Max’s arm.“He’s right. We can’t afford to waste time. Elliot won’t wait.”Max nodded reluctantly, clapping a hand on Red Fang’s shoulder.“Don’t die.”Red Fang grinned.“Not planning to.”As Max, Emily, and Molly slipped past the firefight and headed toward the facility, Red Fang launched himself at Victor and his men, his blade moving with deadly precision.The clash of steel and the roar of gunfire echoed behind them as they pressed forward.As they moved deeper into the facility’s perimeter, Molly’s tablet pinged with new data.She stopped abruptly, her eyes widening as she read the screen.“Max,” she said, her voice trembling. “You need to see this.”Max turned, his brow furrowing. “What is it?”Molly held up the tablet, showing him a financial report she had intercepted.“Elliot’s empire—it’s collapsing. He’s hemorrhaging money. His assets are frozen, his mercenaries haven’t been fully paid, a
CHAPTER 122
The Montgomery team sped through the dark, winding roads leading to the coast.The night was filled with tension, the weight of Elliot’s actions hanging heavy on everyone.Max gripped the wheel tightly, his knuckles white as he focused on the road ahead.Beside him, Molly frantically worked on her tablet, her fingers flying over the screen.“I’ve got a lock on their location,” Molly said, her voice strained.“They’re headed for an offshore facility. It’s abandoned—used to be a private dock for Reginald’s old shipping operations.”Max’s jaw tightened.“He’s going to make this his last stand.”From the backseat, Emily leaned forward.“What’s the security like?”Molly shook her head.“Minimal on paper, but if I know Elliot, he’s got backup waiting.”Red Fang, sitting next to Emily, adjusted his blade.“Good. Let them wait. I’ve got something for them.”Meanwhile, at the offshore facility, Elliot paced in front of Theodore Montgomery, who was tied securely to a chair in the middle of the
CHAPTER 121
Elliot raised an eyebrow.“Oh, I’m not done yet. Surrender the Montgomery estate and everything that comes with it. Do that, and maybe—maybe—I’ll let the old man walk out of here alive.”Max’s mind raced. I can’t give him control of the family. If he takes it, everything my father fought for is gone. But if I don’t act fast, Grandfather won’t make it out alive.As Elliot continued to gloat, Max’s sharp eyes caught movement in the shadows above the staircase.Emily, her weapon hidden beneath her jacket, had positioned herself on the balcony overlooking the hall.Her gaze locked with Max’s for a split second, and he knew she had a plan.“Elliot,” Max said, drawing his rival’s attention.“You keep talking about control, but we both know this isn’t about power. It’s about revenge. You think destroying me will bring your father back?”Elliot’s smirk faltered slightly.“Don’t try to psychoanalyze me, Max. You don’t know what I’ve been through.”Max took a step forward, careful not to provo
CHAPTER 120
Max took a step forward, his voice sharp.“You should’ve stayed in the shadows, Elliot. Coming here was your mistake.”Elliot laughed, descending the stairs with infuriating ease.“Mistake? Max, this is my victory lap. Everything you’ve tried to protect is falling apart around you. And when this night is over, there will be no Montgomery legacy left.”Max advanced, his fists clenched, but Elliot held up a hand.“Ah, ah, ah. Not so fast.”He gestured to one of his men, who dragged forward a struggling figure—Theodore Montgomery, Max’s grandfather, his face bloodied but defiant.Max froze, his stomach dropping.“Let him go, Elliot.”Elliot tilted his head, his smirk widening.“You’re not in a position to make demands, Max. Here’s how this works: you surrender. You hand over everything—the estate, the assets, the legacy. Or I end him right here.”Red Fang stepped forward, his blade ready, but Max raised a hand to stop him.His mind raced as he assessed the situation.If I attack, he’ll
CHAPTER 119
The sound of shattering metal echoed through the night as Elliot’s forces breached the gates of the Montgomery estate.Floodlights illuminated the courtyard, revealing a swarm of mercenaries clad in black tactical gear, their weapons raised as they charged forward.At the center of it all was Elliot, his smirk chilling, leading the charge without hesitation.“Move!” Elliot barked, his voice cutting through the chaos.“No mercy. Take them all.”Inside the estate, the alarms blared as Max stood at the head of his team in the main hall, his expression steeled with determination.“They’ve broken through,” Red Fang reported, gripping his blade tightly.“This isn’t just an assault—it’s a slaughter.”Max’s jaw tightened. “Then we hold the line. No one gets past us.”The sound of gunfire erupted as the mercenaries stormed the mansion.The front doors were blown off their hinges, and smoke filled the air as the enemy flooded inside.Max and Red Fang led the counterattack, their movements preci
CHAPTER 118
He scanned the room, gathering additional files and maps.Among them were blueprints of Reginald’s operations, including details of financial transactions and alliances that tied back to Elliot’s current army of mercenaries.Everything Elliot had built was linked to the foundation laid by Reginald.If Elliot learns the truth, it could dismantle his entire operation—or drive him into even greater chaos.Winston spoke from the corner of the room, his voice steady but urgent.“Master Max, Elliot’s forces won’t wait. You need to decide your next move carefully.”Max looked up, the weight of the decision pressing on him.Do I go after Nathaniel now, leaving the estate vulnerable to Elliot’s forces? Or do I fortify our defenses and risk losing the chance to expose the truth?Before he could answer, an alarm blared through the estate, a shrill warning that shattered the silence.Winston’s face turned pale.“He’s here.”Max dropped the files and sprinted up the staircase, Winston close behind
