GOD OF WAR BRINGS JUSTICE CHAPTER 142
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

Emily sat in the polished conference room, her hands folded neatly on the table as the investors whispered among themselves.The stakes couldn’t have been higher—this deal was her last chance to stabilize the crumbling Radcliffe company.Her presentation had been meticulous, and her arguments solid, but something wasn’t adding up.One of the investors, a graying man with sharp eyes, cleared his throat. “Miss Radcliffe, we’ve reviewed your proposal. While it’s compelling, concerns have been raised about your ability to lead the company effectively.”Emily blinked, her composure slipping for just a moment. “Concerns? May I ask what those concerns are?”The man hesitated, exchanging glances with his colleagues. “Let’s just say certain… allegations have come to our attention. Allegations about financial mismanagement and inappropriate behavior.”Emily’s heart sank. “That’s absurd,” she said, her voice steady despite the storm raging inside her. “I can assure you, those claims are complete

Winter sat beside Jason in the dimly lit room, the glow of the computer screen casting shadows across their faces. The database, its interface sleek and cold, taunted them with its message: Access Denied.Jason let out a frustrated sigh, running a hand through his hair. “We’ve been at this for hours. Whoever encrypted this knew exactly what they were doing.”Winter’s eyes narrowed, scanning the screen. “There’s always a way in. No one builds a system this complex without leaving a backdoor—or at least a trail.”Jason frowned. “You really think Leonard Tarlose would be that careless?”Winter leaned back, the gears in her mind turning. “Not careless. Arrogant. People like him always assume they’re untouchable. But they can’t resist hiding trophies, leaving breadcrumbs to remind themselves how clever they are.”Jason gave her a skeptical look. “And you think his breadcrumbs are in his estate?”“I do,” Winter said with quiet conviction. “Leonard keeps everything close to him.

the thick shadows surrounding Leonard Tarlose’s sprawling estate. James crouched behind a row of hedges, his eyes scanning the guard patrols. Kael was beside him, calm and focused, his finger hovering near the trigger of his silenced rifle.“Ready?” James murmured, his voice barely audible over the chirping crickets.Kael nodded. “Always.”Through their earpieces, Winter’s voice crackled. “We’re in position. Give us the signal.”James tapped the button on his earpiece. “Copy that. Stand by.”He glanced at Kael. “Let’s make some noise.”Kael smirked and fired a precise shot at one of the estate’s external security cameras. Sparks flew as it shorted out, drawing the attention of a pair of guards patrolling the perimeter.“What was that?” one of the guards muttered, raising his flashlight.“Probably nothing,” the other replied, though his grip on his rifle tightened.James threw a small device over the hedge. It landed with a soft thud, followed by a loud bang and a flash of light.“Chec

Jason sat in a dimly lit cell, his wrists shackled to the cold metal chair.Blood trickled from a cut above his brow, a testament to Leonard Tarlose’s ruthless interrogation methods.Across from him, Leonard leaned casually against the table, his perfectly tailored suit untouched by the chaos around him.“Still holding out, are we?” Leonard drawled, his tone mockingly polite.“It’s admirable, really. Misguided, but admirable.”Jason glared at him, his jaw clenched. “You’ll get nothing from me.”Leonard chuckled, a sinister gleam in his eyes.“I don’t need you to talk, Jason. I already know enough. Winter, James—they’ll come for you. It’s what makes people like them so predictable.”He leaned closer, his voice dropping to a whisper.“And when they do, I’ll be ready.”Jason’s expression didn’t falter, but Leonard caught the flicker of worry in his eyes.“Ah, there it is,” Leonard said with a smirk.“You’re not worried about yourself. You’re worried about her. Touching, really.”Jason sp

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.

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 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 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. “Derrick Bishop.”Kael’s eyes widened. “Bishop? 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 to Zhao

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,
