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

Emily spoke up, her voice steady.“The Rose family has resources we can use—intelligence networks, financial analysts. It’s risky, but if it helps protect your family, it’s worth it.”Max frowned. “Emily, this could put your family in Elliot’s crosshairs. I can’t let that happen.”“You don’t get to make that choice for me,” Emily replied firmly.“My family owes everything to you, Max. Let me do this.”Max hesitated but nodded.“Alright. Coordinate with Jace. We need as much information on Elliot’s operations as possible.”Red Fang stepped forward.“I’ve got my team preparing for a confrontation. If Elliot wants a war, we’ll give him one.”Max turned to Molly, who had been unusually quiet.“Molly? Are you with me?”She looked at him, her expression conflicted.“I’m with you, Max. But you need to be ready for what you might find. Your family’s secrets could destroy everything you’re fighting for.”Max’s gaze softened.“I’ll handle it, Molly. But I can’t do this without you.”She nodded,

The Montgomery estate was a hive of tension and unrest.The leaked scandal had sent shockwaves through the family, and the once-solid unity of the Montgomerys was cracking under pressure.“This is your fault, Max!” one of the elders, Uncle Stephen, bellowed during an emergency family meeting.“If you hadn’t provoked Elliot, none of this would be happening.”Max stood at the head of the table, his face impassive.“Elliot’s been planning this for years, Stephen.Don’t kid yourself into thinking this is about me. It’s about dismantling the family—our family.”“That’s a convenient excuse,” Gerald’s closest ally, Aunt Margaret, sneered.“You’ve done nothing but bring trouble since you took the reins.”“Enough!” Theodore’s voice thundered through the room.The patriarch’s commanding presence momentarily silenced the bickering.“Blaming Max won’t fix this. We need solutions.”Max glanced at his grandfather, noting the strain in his features. Even he knows the family is fracturing.Stephen gr

Red Fang’s blade flashed, cutting through the enemy ranks with brutal precision.“You think you can take us down?” Red Fang growled as he disarmed one opponent and slammed him into the wall. “Not a chance.”Despite the ferocity of the mercenaries, Red Fang’s team held their ground, pushing them back inch by inch.At the same time, Emily was on the phone, her voice calm but urgent as she spoke to Montgomery allies.“You’ve seen the attacks,” she said, pacing the room.“If you pull out now, Elliot wins. He’ll destroy everything we’ve built—and you’ll lose too.”A skeptical voice responded on the other end of the line.“Elliot’s power is growing. Are you sure Max can handle this?”Emily’s jaw tightened.“I’ve never been more sure. Max isn’t just fighting for the Montgomery name. He’s fighting for the future. Trust him.”One by one, Emily’s connections began to waver.Some promised support, others hesitated, but Emily pressed on, knowing that every ally mattered.In the estate’s tech lab,

The night sky was a kaleidoscope of red and orange as explosions erupted across the city.The Montgomery estate’s once-calm grounds were now a hub of frantic movement.Alarms blared, the wails of sirens mingling with the shouts of orders and cries of panic.Smoke billowed in the distance, marking the destruction of key Montgomery properties.Max stood in the war room, the tension palpable as he issued orders to his team.His face was a mask of determination, his voice sharp and commanding.“Elliot’s forces are hitting us from all sides,” Max said, pointing to the map spread out before them.“We need to divide and conquer. This is our last chance to stop him.”Max turned to Red Fang, who stood with his arms crossed, his blade gleaming at his side.“You’ll lead the counterattack against Elliot’s underground forces. He’s using mercenaries to dismantle our defenses. Take them out before they reach our core assets.”Red Fang grinned, the fire of battle lighting his eyes.“Consider it done.
CHAPTER 114
The grand hall of the Montgomery estate was in disarray.The death of Reginald had left a vacuum, and the elders were divided. Heated debates erupted as alliances crumbled and loyalties shifted.“This family is falling apart!” one elder bellowed, slamming a fist on the table.“We need stability now more than ever!”“Stability?” another elder shot back. “Backing Max is a gamble! Elliot controls Reginald’s network—he’s too powerful to fight!”Max stood at the head of the table, his expression a mask of calm despite the chaos.“If you think siding with Elliot will save this family, you’re deluding yourselves,” he said firmly.“He doesn’t care about the Montgomery legacy. He’ll burn it to the ground to prove a point.”An older woman, her voice laced with uncertainty, countered, “And what makes you any different, Max? You’ve brought war to our doorstep.”Max’s fists tightened, but Emily stepped in, her voice steady.“Max didn’t bring war. Reginald did when he betrayed this family. Elliot’s
CHAPTER 113
The grand courtyard was deathly silent, save for the labored, shallow breaths of Reginald as he lay sprawled on the arena floor. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, staining the pristine sand beneath him. His once-commanding presence had diminished into a frail, trembling figure.Max knelt beside him, his fists clenched. “Who did this, Reginald? Who betrayed you?”Reginald’s glassy eyes flickered toward Max. His lips moved, barely audible. “It… wasn’t supposed to be me…”Max leaned closer, desperation in his voice. “What do you mean? Who was it?”Reginald’s body seized for a moment before going still, his head lolling to the side. The arena was engulfed in whispers and murmurs as the Montgomery elders processed the sudden turn of events.“He’s dead,” one elder said, breaking the silence. “But… who poisoned him?”Before anyone could answer, a slow clap echoed from the shadows of the courtyard. The sound drew every eye to the edge of the arena, where Elliot Stoke emerged, his s
CHAPTER 112
The Montgomery estate’s grand courtyard had been transformed into an arena.The once-pristine gardens now surrounded a central, sand-covered platform, illuminated by towering torches.Rows of chairs were arranged around the arena, where the Montgomery Council of Elders, key family members, and trusted allies sat in tense silence.Max stood at the edge of the arena, his gaze fixed on Reginald, who was already waiting in the center.The older man looked calm, his hands resting on the hilt of a polished cane that concealed a blade.His sharp eyes glinted in the firelight.“This is insanity,” Emily whispered, standing beside Max.“He’s dangerous.”“So am I,” Max replied, his voice steady. “This ends here.”Red Fang leaned closer, his tone low.“Stick to your training. Reginald’s not just an old man—he’s a tactician. Don’t underestimate him.”Max nodded, stepping into the arena. The air grew heavier as the crowd stilled, the weight of generations of tradition pressing down on everyone pres
CHAPTER 111
One elder, a stern woman with silver hair, leaned forward.“Your reckless actions have drawn enemies to our gates, Max. You’ve endangered everything we’ve built.”Another elder, a balding man, added, “Your defiance against this council is unacceptable. Do you deny your role in the chaos that has befallen the Montgomery name?”Max’s jaw tightened, but he spoke with measured calm.“I deny nothing. The attacks on this family weren’t caused by me—they were orchestrated by someone in this very room.”The hall fell silent as Max placed the evidence on the table. He slid the ledger, surveillance images, and documents from the safehouse across the polished wood.“This is proof of decades of betrayal. Proof that someone among us has been manipulating this family for their own gain.”The elders leaned forward, scanning the documents.Some paled as they read, while others exchanged wary glances.A few shook their heads in disbelief.“This is absurd,” one elder scoffed, shoving the papers aside.
CHAPTER 110
Max turned to her, his voice low but firm.“Then we take him down. Expose everything.”Molly glanced up from the laptop.“That’s easier said than done. Reginald’s been covering his tracks for decades. And if he’s as powerful as this makes him look, he’ll know we’re onto him.”Back at the Montgomery estate, Max and his team regrouped in the war room, laying out the evidence they’d collected.The sheer scope of Reginald’s influence was staggering—bank accounts, property holdings, and a network of loyalists within the family council.“This isn’t just one man,” Gerald said, gesturing to the files.“This is an empire within the family. He’s been playing the long game, and we’re just now catching up.”Max stared at the ledger from the vault, now cross-referenced with the safehouse documents.“Elliot never realized he was being used. Reginald manipulated him just like everyone else.”Emily leaned against the table, her voice soft.“Max, if Reginald knows you’re onto him…”“He’ll come after m
CHAPTER 109
The room was silent except for the hum of the tablet as Max and his allies analyzed the anonymous message.The single name—Reginald Montgomery—hung in the air like a storm cloud.“Reginald,” Emily repeated, her voice uncertain.“Your great-uncle?”Max nodded, his jaw tight.“He’s one of the oldest and most powerful members of the family. If this message is right… he’s the one pulling all the strings.”Molly frowned, staring at the screen.“But why? What could he gain from tearing down the family he’s part of?”“Power,” Gerald said grimly, stepping forward.“Reginald’s been consolidating power for decades. If he orchestrated all this, it wasn’t just to hurt the Stokes or your father. It was to make himself untouchable.”Red Fang crossed his arms, his tone skeptical.“So how do we know this isn’t another setup?”Max’s eyes narrowed.“We find out. Trace the message.”The trail led them to a dilapidated safehouse on the outskirts of the city, its exterior overgrown with ivy and weeds.The
CHAPTER 108
Victor stumbled out of the burning Montgomery estate, clutching his bleeding shoulder.His breaths came in ragged gasps as he glared back at the mansion.The mission had failed, but his anger burned hotter than his pain.“This isn’t over,” he muttered, disappearing into the shadows.Inside, Max leaned heavily against a pillar as Gerald reached down to help him up.“You’ve seen better days,” Gerald said dryly, gripping Max’s arm.Max winced but accepted the help.“What are you doing here, Gerald? Last I checked, you were locked away.”Gerald smirked faintly.“Let’s just say I know this estate better than the people who tried to keep me locked up.”Max pulled his arm free, his eyes narrowing.“Why should I believe you? You betrayed this family once. What’s stopping you from doing it again?”Gerald sighed, leaning against a nearby wall.“I didn’t come here to ask for your trust, Max. I came because I realized the truth—and because I owe you and your father more than I can ever repay.”Ma
