GOD OF WAR BRINGS JUSTICE CHAPTER 135
The next morning, the air was thick with tension as General LaGrine pulled into the driveway of the base house where James resided. The general’s demeanor was stiff, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings as he entered. Inside, James sat in quiet contemplation, his coffee steaming on the table.LaGrine didn’t waste time on pleasantries. “James, there’s a billion-dollar bounty on your head,” he said, his voice low but urgent.James raised an eyebrow but remained calm, his demeanor unchanged. “Wei Zhao,” he said simply.LaGrine nodded. “And likely Tarlose as well. They’re pulling every string they’ve got. The bounty’s not just for you—it includes your family. You need to be on alert.”James’s jaw tightened. “I expected this. They’ve been waiting for the right moment.”LaGrine hesitated for a moment, then leaned closer. “This isn’t just a mafia game anymore. Enzo Black, also known as Code Red, is involved. He’s part of Wei Zhao’s dark circle. This is serious, James. They’re sending ass

Kael leaned over the map spread across the table, his brows furrowed in concentration. "The bounty has doubled. Two billion now, James," he said, his voice grim. "And The Specters have accepted it."James exhaled sharply, gripping the edge of the table. "So, they've made their move. We can’t wait for them to come to us. We strike first."Winter crossed her arms, leaning against the wall. "Easier said than done. The Specters are ghosts, James. They don’t leave trails, and their leader? No one’s ever seen them.""We don’t need to see them to find them," James replied, his tone firm. "Everyone has a weakness, even ghosts."Kael exchanged a glance with Winter before speaking. "We’ve identified some of their operatives, but they’re spread thin. Taking them out individually might not draw out the leader."James paced the room, his hands clasped behind his back. "Then we make them come to us. Set a trap. But first, we need leverage. What do we know about their finances, contacts, or safehous

The dim light of James’ safehouse cast long shadows over the room as Kael slammed a map onto the table.Winter leaned against the wall, her arms crossed, watching him with a sharp eye.“They’re everywhere,” Kael said, his voice taut.“Infiltrating our businesses, our people. It’s only a matter of time before they figure out where we’re hiding Emily.”James exhaled slowly, running a hand through his hair.“Then we move her. I’ll have no one touch her.”Winter interjected, her tone clipped.“It’s not that simple. Wei Zhao isn’t just relying on The Specters anymore. The Tarlose family has joined forces with him. Skilled assassins, spies—they’re tightening the noose.”James’ fist slammed against the table, the sound echoing through the room.“And yet, we’re still standing. We’re not running, not yet. If they want to play games, we’ll beat them at it.”Kael nodded but looked skeptical. “We need a new angle. We’re playing defense while they’re escalating every move.”“That’s why we isolate
GOD OF WAR BRINGS JUSTICE CHAPTER 138
The room erupted into chaos as gunfire filled the air. James and Kael moved like a well-oiled machine, their years of experience evident in every calculated move.“Kael, left!” James shouted, taking out one of the operatives with a single shot.“Got it!” Kael ducked, firing at another, his aim deadly accurate.Winter’s voice crackled over the comms. “Two trying to escape through the back. I’ve got them.”James glanced at Kael. “We finish this now. No survivors.”The leader of the operatives lunged at James, a knife glinting in his hand. James sidestepped, grabbing the man’s arm and twisting it until he heard the sickening crack of bone. The man screamed, but James didn’t hesitate, delivering a final, decisive blow.Kael finished off the last operative, his chest heaving as the silence settled over the room.“That was messy,” Kael muttered, wiping sweat from his brow.James nodded, his expression grim. “It’s only going to get worse.”Winter reappeared, blood on her blade but otherwise

Winter tightened her grip on the folder of documents she’d obtained from the whistleblower, her footsteps echoing as she moved toward her car.Her senses prickled, the weight of unease settling over her like a suffocating fog.Her mind replayed the whistleblower’s words. “The Tarlose family has more allies than you think. If you dig too deep, you’ll find yourself in a grave.”Winter shook off the thought, her resolve firm. She had come too far to back down now.As she reached her car, a sudden noise broke the silence—a scuff of shoes against the pavement. Winter froze, her eyes darting to the shadows.“Leaving so soon?” a voice sneered, low and menacing.Five figures stepped out from the darkness, their faces obscured. The glint of weapons in their hands sent a surge of adrenaline coursing through her.Winter cursed under her breath, clutching the folder tightly. “You’ve got the wrong person,” she said, her voice steady despite the hammering of her heart.“Don’t play coy,” another man

The house was eerily quiet, save for the soft rustling of papers in Emily’s trembling hands.Her eyes scanned the bank statements again, the unauthorized transactions glaring back at her like a betrayal carved in ink. She inhaled sharply, her chest tightening as the weight of realization settled in.Juliet entered the room, her movements poised and deliberate.“Emily, why are you going through those? You should have told me if you needed something.”Emily’s head snapped up, her voice sharp. “Needed something? Like answers, maybe? What are these?” She thrust the papers toward Juliet, her hand shaking.Juliet barely glanced at them before scoffing. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Those could be anything.”“Don’t lie to me, Juliet,” Emily said, her tone cutting. “These transactions. Thousands of dollars funneled into accounts linked to Code Red. What exactly are you doing?”Juliet’s eyes flickered, a momentary crack in her composed facade. “You don’t understand the bigger pictu

James crouched behind an abandoned vehicle, his eyes fixed on the approaching convoy. Beside him, Kael adjusted his rifle, his expression calm but focused."Here they come," Kael muttered, peering through his scope.James raised his hand, signaling silence. The convoy of black SUVs moved closer, their engines humming ominously in the stillness of the night.“Positions,” James ordered, his voice low but firm. His team melted into the shadows, weapons at the ready.The plan was simple: disable the vehicles, neutralize the guards, and secure the documents. But as the convoy came to a stop, James felt the first prickle of unease. Something was off.Kael frowned, his finger hovering over the trigger. “They’re stopping too early.”James nodded, his instincts screaming at him to abort the mission. But before he could give the order, the rear SUV’s doors swung open, and heavily armed mercenaries poured out, weapons blazing.“Ambush!” James shouted, diving for cover as bullets tore through the

The list of names was staggering—corporate tycoons, law enforcement officials, and politicians—all entangled in Zhao’s web of blackmail. At the top of the list was Senator Gray, a name James knew carried immense weight in political circles.Kael leaned back, running a hand through his hair. “Gray’s the key. If we can flip him, we’ll cut one of Zhao’s strongest financial pipelines.”James nodded, his fingers tapping the table in thought. “But he won’t cooperate unless we can guarantee his safety. He knows what Zhao is capable of.”Kael crossed his arms, his gaze sharp. “The question is, can we trust him? If he’s scared enough, he might just sell us out to save himself.”James met his eyes, his tone firm. “We don’t have a choice. If we don’t act, Zhao’s network stays intact. Gray’s testimony could bring the whole thing crashing down.”Kael sighed, leaning forward. “Fine. But how do we get him on board? He’s under Zhao’s thumb for a reason.”The team met in the underground hideout, the t

The gala buzzed with the sounds of laughter and clinking glasses, an air of opulence that concealed the darker currents beneath.James and Kael moved effortlessly through the crowd, their eyes scanning for any sign of weakness within Zhao’s network of allies.As the night wore on, they slipped into conversations, their movements calculated, gathering intelligence without drawing attention.James leaned closer to a group of businessmen, their voices low as they discussed some upcoming project.He casually interjected, his tone casual yet sharp.“It’s interesting how much faith people are putting in Benjamin lately, especially with his... recent decisions.”The group faltered, eyes flicking nervously.“What do you mean?” one of them asked, a little too quickly.James’s lips curved into a smile, though it didn’t reach his eyes.“Oh, just a few whispers in the wind. You know how it is—nothing’s ever as it seems. Benjamin’s been getting a lot of attention, but some say he might be... overs

Inside the sleek, high-ceilinged ballroom, laughter and the clink of champagne glasses filled the air.The opulence of the gala contrasted sharply with the fire burning inside James.He and Kael stood among the guests, dressed sharply in tuxedos, blending effortlessly with the crowd of Zhao’s top allies and influential business partners.Winter’s intelligence had led them here, and James was ready to use it to his advantage.Kael leaned closer, his voice barely audible.“This is it. Benjamin’s hosting the event, but we can’t make our move too early. We need to get close.”James’s gaze swept over the room, scanning the crowd for any signs of Benjamin.He could feel his pulse quicken, the tension in his chest building.“Patience,” he muttered, his voice low.“He’ll slip up. He always does.”The two of them positioned themselves near a group of businessmen laughing too loudly, all too eager to make their way into Benjamin’s good graces.James barely listened to their chatter, his eyes fo

The anger that had been simmering beneath the surface of James’s composure suddenly surged to the forefront as the name Benjamin echoed in his mind.His pulse quickened, his fists clenching at his sides. He had never thought he’d face the betrayal of someone he once trusted so deeply.Yet here it was—Benjamin, now one of Zhao’s most valuable allies, a man who had once been a brother in arms, now pulling the strings in Zhao’s sprawling empire.Kael had been silent beside him, letting James process the revelation.Winter, though, had already found what they needed. Her voice was calm, a stark contrast to the storm raging within James. “I’ve located Benjamin,” she said, her fingers typing swiftly on her tablet.“He’s staying in a luxury villa on the outskirts of the city. He’s under heavy guard. We’ll need to move fast.”James’s eyes hardened as he absorbed the information.He knew better than anyone that Benjamin was no ordinary adversary.His cunning had always been a weapon, one that

The sun had barely risen when Kael cracked open the encrypted files from the bunker. They sat around the dimly lit room, the harsh light of the laptop casting shadows across their faces. Kael’s fingers flew over the keys, deciphering the coded messages, unlocking a series of detailed communications.James stood behind him, arms crossed, his gaze fixed on the screen.“This is it,” Kael muttered, scrolling through the list. “A network of collaborators—dozens of people working under Zhao. Some familiar names, others not so much. But here…” He paused, pointing to a name on the screen.James’s blood ran cold. His jaw tightened as he leaned forward. “No. It can’t be.”Kael looked at him, brow furrowed. “What? Who is it?”James’s fists clenched. "Benjamin Hayes."Kael’s eyes widened. “Benjamin Hayes.The same one who—”“Yeah,” James cut him off, voice low, each word heavy with the weight of betrayal. “The one who sold me out years ago. I never thought I’d see his name again, let alone linked t

The sounds of gunfire echoed across the island as James and his team charged through the compound’s defenses. Explosions illuminated the night sky, and the cries of Zhao’s men mixed with the sharp commands from Kael and James.“Push forward!” James shouted, his voice steady even amidst the chaos.Kael crouched behind a stone wall, reloading his rifle. “They’re falling back, but it feels too easy,” he muttered, scanning the area.James nodded, his instincts warning him of a trap. “Stay sharp. This is Zhao we’re dealing with. He doesn’t retreat without a reason.”Winter’s voice crackled through the earpiece. “James, I’ve hacked into their communication channels. There’s a bunker near the southern edge of the compound. It’s heavily guarded, which means it’s important.”“Understood,” James replied. “Kael, we head south. Jason, hold this position and cover our exit.”Jason nodded, gripping his weapon tightly. “Be careful. This place is a deathtrap.”As James and Kael approached the bunker,

Winter sat at her workstation, her face illuminated by the glow of her monitors.Lines of code streamed across the screen as she dug deeper into Zhao’s network.With every passing second, the pressure mounted. Sarah’s life depended on what she could uncover.Jason stood behind her, arms crossed. “Anything yet?” he asked, his tone tense.“Patience,” Winter replied without looking away. Her fingers flew across the keyboard. “Zhao’s encryption is top-tier, but he’s not invincible.”Kael entered the room, carrying a fresh cup of coffee. “We don’t have time for invincible. We need results, now.”Winter suddenly froze, her eyes narrowing. “Wait. I’ve got something.”James, who had been pacing the room, stopped abruptly. “What is it?”“A series of communications routed through a private server. It’s linked to a property—an island, privately owned by one of Zhao’s shell companies.”James stepped closer. “Coordinates?”Winter nodded, sending the data to James’s tablet. “It’s heavily fortified,

The house was eerily silent when Emily stepped inside, her heels clicking softly on the tiled floor. “Sarah?” she called, setting her bag on the counter. The absence of her daughter’s usual laughter unsettled her.She walked into the living room, expecting to find Sarah playing or reading. Instead, her eyes landed on a folded note on the coffee table.With trembling hands, Emily unfolded the paper. The message was written in bold, jagged letters:“Your family pays for its arrogance.”Her heart stopped. The note slipped from her fingers as the gravity of the words hit her. “Sarah!” she screamed, running through the house. She tore through each room, searching desperately for any sign of her daughter, but Sarah was nowhere to be found.Her knees buckled, and she collapsed on the floor, dialing James’s number with shaking fingers.James was in his office when the call came. The moment he heard Emily’s panicked voice, he was on his feet.“They took her, James! They took Sarah!”“Who?” he

The room was a sea of sharp suits and scrutinizing gazes.Emily stepped to the podium, her heart pounding in her chest.The summit’s audience consisted of corporate giants, political influencers, and some of Zhao’s allies—wolves disguised in tailored clothing.She cleared her throat and began.“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for the opportunity to speak today. I stand before you not just as a representative of my company but as someone who believes in accountability and integrity.”The room remained silent, the weight of anticipation pressing down on her.“As we forge ahead in this industry,” Emily continued, her voice steadying.“we must address the pervasive influence of corruption and unethical practices that threaten to undermine everything we strive for. These actions do not just tarnish reputations—they destroy lives.”Whispers rippled through the crowd.Emily caught sight of Zhao sitting near the back, his lips curling into an amused smirk. He didn’t appear threatened, but tha

The flash drive glinted faintly under the dim light of James’s office, a small but crucial piece of the puzzle left behind during Leonard’s hasty retreat.James sat at his desk, his fingers drumming rhythmically against the wood as Winter worked tirelessly at her laptop.“Anything yet?” James asked, his voice steady but edged with impatience.“Almost,” Winter replied, not looking up.“This encryption is sophisticated, but nothing I can’t crack.”Kael leaned against the wall, arms crossed.“If Leonard left it behind, he either underestimated us or wanted us to find it.”“That’s what worries me,” James muttered.With a triumphant exhale, Winter hit a final key. “Got it!” The screen filled with files and folders, each bearing ominous labels like Project Revenant and Corporate Sabotage.“What are we looking at?” James asked, moving closer.Winter scrolled through the contents, her eyes narrowing. “Plans to infiltrate Emily’s company. Zhao’s targeting her directly.”James’s jaw tightened.
