GOD OF WAR BRINGS JUSTICE CHAPTER 144
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. If the key i

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
GOD OF WAR BRINGS JUSTICE CHAPTER 150
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,
GOD OF WAR BRINGS JUSTICE CHAPTER 151
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,

The drive back to the Radcliffe estate was quiet.The weight of recent events lingered in the air, but for the first time in months, there was a sense of closure.James glanced at Emily in the passenger seat, her head resting against the window as she watched the trees blur past.In the backseat, Sarah was fast asleep, her small face finally free of worry.“This feels strange,” Emily said softly, breaking the silence.James glanced at her. “What does?”“Coming home. No Syndicate. No immediate danger. Just... life waiting for us.”James nodded, his grip on the wheel tightening slightly.“It’s what we’ve been fighting for.”Emily turned to him, a small smile on her lips.“I just hope we remember how to live it.”Later that evening, the team gathered at the estate’s main hall for what felt like the first peaceful meal in years.The atmosphere was warm, but there was an underlying current of finality.Kael raised his glass, smirking.“So, this is it, huh? No more bunkers, no more ambushes
CHAPTER 255
Winter’s fingers flew over her keyboard, her screen filled with data streams and encrypted files.The room was dimly lit, the glow of monitors casting sharp shadows on her focused expression.James stood behind her, his arms crossed, tension radiating from him.“You’re sure about this?” James asked, his voice low but firm.Winter nodded, not taking her eyes off the screen.“Positive. These files weren’t just buried—they were hidden in layers of false leads. Whoever did this wanted to make sure no one found them, not even Zhao.”Kael leaned against the doorway, arms crossed.“And yet, here we are. What exactly are we looking at?”Winter tapped a key, bringing up a series of interconnected names, companies, and shell organizations.“The Syndicate isn’t just regrouping—they’re rebranding. New names, new players, same game.”James’s jaw tightened. “Led by who?”“That’s the kicker,” Winter said, spinning her chair to face them.“These files mention leadership figures Zhao didn’t even know
CHAPTER 254
The black SUV pulled into the secluded driveway of the secure facility, surrounded by towering walls and layers of surveillance.James stepped out first, scanning the area with a soldier’s precision.Behind him, Emily and Sarah emerged, their expressions a mix of weariness and unease.“This isn’t a home,” Emily said quietly, her arms crossed as she glanced at the cold, gray building.James turned to her, his voice calm but firm.“It’s not supposed to be. It’s safe.”Emily sighed, the weight of the past few days evident in her posture.“Safe, James, but not sustainable. We can’t keep uprooting our lives like this.”James met her gaze.“It’s temporary. Just until we figure out our next move.”Inside, the facility was stark but functional. Sarah clung to Emily’s hand, her eyes darting around the unfamiliar surroundings.“Is this where we’re going to live now?” Sarah asked softly, her voice tinged with worry.Emily knelt to her daughter’s level, brushing a strand of hair from her face.“J
CHAPTER 253
The strike team moved with precision, navigating the dense jungle that surrounded the suspected Shadow Council hideout.Winter’s voice came through the comms, calm but focused.“You’re two clicks out,” she said.“The perimeter scans show minimal activity. If they’re there, they’re keeping a low profile.”James adjusted his headset, his eyes scanning the terrain.“Understood. Stay on the sensors. If anything moves, I want to know.”Kael, walking just behind him, let out a low whistle.“Too quiet. I don’t like it.”James nodded.“Neither do I.”The team reached the entrance to the bunker, its steel doors partially concealed by overgrown vines.Kael moved forward, placing a charge on the lock.“Ready to breach,” he said.James gave a quick nod.“Do it.”The explosion was sharp and contained, the doors swinging open to reveal a dimly lit corridor. The team entered cautiously, their weapons raised.Winter’s voice came through again.“You’re in. Be careful—this layout is identical to some o
CHAPTER 252
Winter’s workstation hummed with activity as lines of code scrolled across her screen.She leaned forward, her brow furrowed in concentration.On a nearby table lay the charred piece of paper Kael had recovered from The Widow’s lair.It was encoded, a complex cipher that had taken days to crack.Kael leaned against the wall, watching her work.“You’ve been at this for hours, Winter. Got anything?”Winter sighed, her fingers pausing over the keyboard.“Almost. Whoever wrote this wanted to make sure it stayed hidden. But they underestimated me.”James entered the room, his expression sharp.“What’s the status?”Winter pointed to the screen.“I’ve almost got it. The code is... odd. It’s deliberate, but there’s something about it that feels personal, like whoever wrote it wanted us to find it.”Kael raised an eyebrow.“Personal? From the Syndicate? Doesn’t exactly sound like their style.”Winter’s screen dinged softly, and she sat back, a faint smile of triumph crossing her face.“Got it.
CHAPTER 251
The boardroom was uncomfortably quiet as Emily entered, her heels clicking against the polished floor.The tension in the air was palpable, the kind of silence that only came before a storm.She set her tablet down on the conference table and looked around at the gathered board members.Many avoided her gaze, their expressions carefully neutral.Others met her eyes with a mix of defiance and unease.“Thank you all for coming,” Emily began, her tone sharp but calm.“I’m aware there have been... concerns about the direction of this company in the wake of recent events.”A man at the far end of the table, Greg Thornton, cleared his throat. He was one of the company’s longest-serving board members and had always been vocal about his disapproval of Emily’s leadership.“Concerns is putting it mildly, Mrs. Radcliffe. Some of us are wondering if your methods are jeopardizing this company’s future.”Emily raised an eyebrow.“Jeopardizing? Or exposing inconvenient truths?”The room shifted unea
CHAPTER 250
The interrogation room was colder than usual, or perhaps it just felt that way.Zhao sat at the table, handcuffed, his posture relaxed despite the weight of his situation.His smirk was firmly in place, as if he were the one holding all the cards.James entered, his footsteps deliberate and echoing in the silence.He placed a folder on the table, its contents thick with evidence of Zhao’s crimes.Without sitting, he leaned on the table, his eyes locked on Zhao.“This is your last chance,” James said, his tone sharp.“Who’s still out there? Who’s pulling the strings now that you’re finished?”Zhao chuckled softly, shaking his head.“Finished? My dear Radcliffe, you give yourself too much credit. You’ve barely scratched the surface.”James’s jaw tightened, but his voice remained steady.“You’re alone. The Syndicate is in ruins. You have nothing left.”Zhao leaned forward slightly, his smirk widening.“Nothing left? Oh, James. You’ve only pruned the tree, not uprooted it. The roots are s
CHAPTER 249
The headquarters was quieter than usual, but the weight of what they’d accomplished hung heavy in the air.James stood in the main briefing room, surrounded by his team, while Winter sat at her station, typing furiously.Screens around her displayed reams of data—records, account numbers, and connections all tied to the Syndicate.Kael leaned against the wall, arms crossed.“That’s it, then? We’re done?”Winter didn’t look up from her screen.“Not yet. The Widow’s fall gave us access to a treasure trove of intel, but there’s a lot to sort through. Sleeper agents, hidden funds, collaborators—we need to root out every last one.”James nodded, his expression grim.“Every loose end tied up. No one slips through.”Kael raised an eyebrow.“You think that’s even possible? The Syndicate had its claws in everything.”James’s voice was steady. “We don’t stop until it’s done.”In another part of the building, Emily stood in front of a mirror, adjusting her blazer.She was minutes away from addre
