BEYOND YOUR REACH CHAPTER 29
The night was alive with anticipation as Leon and his team moved with precision. The air was thick with tension, every member of the squad aware that this was the moment they had been building toward. The plan to dismantle Harper’s empire was in full swing, and Leon stood at the heart of it all, directing his forces like a seasoned general."Alan, are the files ready?" Leon asked, his voice steady and calm, masking the storm that raged inside him."Locked and loaded," Alan replied, his fingers dancing over the keyboard. "I’ve got everything queued up. Once we hit ‘send,’ Harper’s illegal activities will be exposed to every major news outlet and law enforcement agency."Leon nodded, his jaw clenched. "Good. Send it out. We’re going to shine a spotlight on every dirty deal, every criminal connection Harper has made. The world is about to see the real man behind the curtain."As Alan hit the button, data began flooding across networks, an avalanche of information that would be impossible
BEYOND YOUR REACH CHAPTER 30
The team moved in silence, the hum of their vehicles the only sound in the night as they approached Harper’s base. The moon hung low in the sky, casting an eerie glow over the desolate area. The tension in the air was palpable, each member of Leon’s team fully aware that this was the defining moment in their battle against Harper."Remember, stay sharp and stick to the plan," Leon’s voice crackled over the comms. "Alan and Clara, disable their communications and scramble their defenses. Marcus, you and I will lead the assault team. We take down Harper’s men quickly and efficiently.""Roger that," Clara responded. "I’ve got eyes on their security systems. They’re state-of-the-art, but nothing I can’t handle.""Good," Leon said, his eyes narrowing as he focused on the target ahead. "We hit them hard and fast. No mercy."Alan’s fingers flew over his laptop keyboard, lines of code streaming across the screen. "I’m in," he said. "Communications are down. They won’t be calling for backup an

The dust from the explosion was still settling as Leon and his team regrouped. Their faces were marked with soot and sweat, yet their eyes held a grim determination. The once formidable fortress of Harper’s empire was now reduced to ruins, smoldering in the background. However, they all knew that Harper’s defeat was only a small victory in the larger war that loomed ahead.Leon stood over the battered form of Harper, who was barely conscious, his eyes flickering open as he stared up at his captor with a look of defiant rage. Despite his injuries, Harper’s expression was one of someone who was not yet defeated in spirit."You still think this is over, don’t you, Leon?" Harper coughed, blood staining his lips. "You might have taken down my base, but you’ve only scratched the surface of what I’m capable of."Leon crouched down to Harper’s level, his face only inches away from the villain’s. "This is only the beginning," he said, his voice calm and cold. "And you’re going to tell us every
BEYOND YOUR REACH CHAPTER 32
Back at the secure base, Leon and his team wasted no time. Harper was locked away in the most secure cell they had, but Leon knew that his physical containment wasn’t the end. The secrets Harper held were the keys to unraveling a web that stretched far beyond what they’d uncovered so far.Leon stood in the surveillance room, watching the live feed from Harper’s cell. The man sat there, seemingly calm, his hands cuffed to the table. His eyes, however, were sharp and calculating. He was thinking, plotting, and Leon knew it."Clara, how’s that encryption coming along?" Leon asked without turning from the screen."We’ve made progress," Clara replied, her fingers flying across the keyboard. "Harper’s files were heavily encrypted, but we’ve managed to crack a few layers. There are references to an entity called ‘The Sovereign Order’—a name that keeps popping up in his communications.""The Sovereign Order?" Leon repeated, his brow furrowing. "Never heard of them. What do we know about this
BEYOND YOUR REACH CHAPTER 33
As dawn broke, Leon's mind was already racing with strategies. The revelations about The Sovereign Order kept looping in his head, and he knew they needed more than just his small team to bring down an organization of that scale. Leon decided it was time to call in some favors and reach out to people he knew he could trust. They needed allies, and they needed them fast.Leon made a call to an old friend, Sarah Lynch, a skilled intelligence operative he’d worked with during his days in covert operations. Sarah had a reputation for finding information in the most unlikely places, and her connections ran deep in the intelligence community."Sarah," Leon said as she picked up the call, her voice as sharp and alert as ever. "I need your help. It's big.""You sound serious, Leon," Sarah replied, her tone laced with concern. "What have you gotten yourself into this time?""Something huge," Leon said. "I’m dealing with a global syndicate called The Sovereign Order. They're planning to reshape
BEYOND YOUR REACH CHAPTER 34
The team moved through the darkness with precision, their senses heightened as they approached Zane Carter’s suspected hideout. The safe house was nestled in a remote part of the city, surrounded by old warehouses and abandoned buildings—a perfect location for someone looking to stay off the grid.Leon led the way, his eyes scanning the area for any signs of movement. Clara was right behind him, her fingers hovering over her tablet, ready to hack into any security systems they might encounter. Alan and the rest of the team spread out, covering all possible exits to ensure that Zane Carter had no chance of escape."All units in position," Clara whispered into her earpiece. "No visible security systems outside, but we should assume the building is rigged with alarms. Proceed with caution."Leon nodded, signaling for the team to move forward. As they reached the entrance, Leon took a deep breath and gave the signal. Clara quickly deactivated the door's electronic lock, and they silently
BEYOND YOUR REACH CHAPTER 35
The team returned to their safehouse, tension palpable in the air. The narrow escape from the ambush had left everyone on edge, and suspicions were running high. Zane Carter, bound securely, was locked in a room under heavy guard. Leon knew they had to move fast; The Sovereign Order wouldn’t give them time to regroup."We need answers, and we need them now," Leon said, his voice cutting through the heavy silence. "Someone tipped them off. One of us is feeding The Order information."Clara's eyes widened slightly. "You think there's a mole within our team?""I don’t think," Leon replied, his gaze steely. "I know. It’s the only explanation for how they knew exactly where to find us."Alan clenched his fists, his face contorted with anger. "After everything we've been through, how could someone betray us like this?"Leon looked at each member of his team in turn, searching their faces for any sign of deceit. His instincts had never failed him before, and he knew they wouldn’t now. But he

Leon stood in the dimly lit room, facing Zane Carter, who was still bound to the chair. The team had prepped for this moment; they knew it would take every ounce of their skill and cunning to break through Zane’s defenses. The room's air was thick with tension, anticipation hanging like a storm cloud about to burst."Let’s cut the small talk," Leon said, his voice calm but laced with menace. "You know why we’re here. You’re going to tell us everything you know about The Sovereign Order's next move."Zane smirked, leaning back in his chair. "You think this is going to be that easy? Do you have any idea who you’re dealing with? The Order will never let you win, Leon."Leon exchanged a glance with Clara, who was standing by with a laptop, ready to analyze Zane's responses in real-time. Alan's betrayal—or the setup that pointed to him—was still fresh in everyone's minds. The team couldn’t afford another misstep, not when so much was at stake."Let’s see how long that smug smile lasts," Le
