GOD OF WAR BRINGS JUSTICE CHAPTER 163
As they made their way up, the sense of anticipation intensified. Zhao was watching.He had to be. And with every passing moment, James’s grip on his emotions tightened.He couldn’t afford to let fear or rage take over.He had to remain in control. For Sarah.he next few floors passed without incident. James and Kael moved through them with precision, clearing out guards and disabling security systems.But with each floor, the feeling of something being off grew stronger.Then, they reached the final floor—the penthouse.The elevator doors opened, revealing a long hallway, lined with sleek marble floors and high-end decor.The atmosphere felt like a sick joke. On the one hand, it was the epitome of power.But James knew it for what it really was—Zhao’s throne room, a place where he could watch the world burn.And there, at the end of the hallway, the double doors to the penthouse swung open.Zhao’s silhouette was unmistakable, standing by a large window, looking out over the city.Jam
GOD OF WAR BRINGS JUSTICE CHAPTER 164
The penthouse was eerily quiet, the luxurious decor only amplifying the tension in the room.Zhao sat casually on a velvet armchair, a glass of wine in hand, his cold eyes locked on James.The city skyline shimmered outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, a stark contrast to the storm raging inside James.Sarah sat in a chair beside Zhao, her hands bound with rope.Though her face was pale, there was a glimmer of defiance in her eyes.She was alive.And that was all that mattered.James’s breath hitched in his chest.He stepped forward, his fists clenched, every muscle in his body taut with the need to act.His gaze never left Sarah as he approached, his voice low but firm.“Let her go, Zhao.”Zhao’s lips curled into a smile, his eyes glinting with malice.“You really think you can change anything? You’ve been running in circles, James. You’re too late. This is where it ends for you.”He waved a hand dismissively, as though James’s life was nothing more than an inconvenient distraction.
GOD OF WAR BRINGS JUSTICE CHAPTER 165
The deafening roar of gunfire rang through the hallways, and James’s heart hammered in his chest.He had only one focus now—Sarah.She was just a few feet away, her terrified eyes scanning the chaos as she crouched behind a steel column.James’s gaze locked onto hers, and for a moment, the madness of the battle around them seemed to vanish. His daughter was alive. She was here.“Sarah!” James shouted, pushing through the smoke and debris. His voice was a lifeline in the chaos.She turned at the sound of his voice, her face a mixture of relief and fear. “Dad!” she cried, rushing toward him.But before she could take another step, a round of bullets slammed into the wall beside her, sending fragments flying.James reacted instinctively, throwing himself in front of her.The sting of a bullet grazing his shoulder barely registered as he shielded her with his own body.“Stay down!” he barked, pushing her into the nearest corner.The firefight around them intensified as Zhao’s men converg
GOD OF WAR BRINGS JUSTICE CHAPTER 166
The quiet hum of the computer filled the room, a stark contrast to the tension that hung in the air.James stood by Winter’s desk, watching her work. Her fingers flew over the keyboard, her brow furrowed in concentration.The files from the skyscraper were far more intricate than they’d anticipated, but Winter had a knack for deciphering the most complex codes."Anything?" James asked, his voice low, laced with urgency.Winter glanced up briefly, her eyes tired but determined."I’m getting there. There are plans here to destabilize Emily’s company even further—financial blackmail, insider trading schemes... It’s all designed to ruin her reputation and her business."James clenched his jaw. "Zhao isn’t stopping until he’s destroyed everything we care about."His voice was steely, the fire in his eyes rekindled.“Emily’s already fighting back,” Winter murmured, turning her attention back to the screen.“She’s been holding her own against the media, but it’s relentless. Zhao’s tactics ar

James leaned back in his chair, the dim light of the room casting long shadows over the table.Winter, Kael, and a few trusted allies were gathered around, all focused on the map spread out before them.The stakes were higher than ever.Zhao had crossed the line, and it was time to dismantle his empire piece by piece.James’s voice was calm, yet the weight of his words carried a deadly intent.“We’re going to hit Zhao where it hurts the most—his supply chains, his allies, and his reputation. If we can fracture his support, we can break him.”Winter’s brow furrowed.“How exactly do you plan to do that? Zhao’s network is massive. You can’t just take it all down overnight.”James’s eyes narrowed.“We don’t have to. We take out key players—his allies, his suppliers. We make them choose between loyalty to Zhao or their own survival. And if they don’t choose, we’ll make sure they wish they had.”Kael leaned forward, his voice low. “Bribery and blackmail. It’s risky, but it might just work.
GOD OF WAR BRINGS JUSTICE CHAPTER 168
But Zhao was not one to be outdone.Within hours, the media frenzy began.Emily sat at her desk, her fingers gripping the edge of her laptop as the headlines flashed across the screen.“CEO Emily White Linked to Corruption Scheme: Secret Deals with Zhao Exposed”“What is this?” Emily’s voice was tight with disbelief. “This can’t be happening.”James walked into the room, his expression grim.“It’s Zhao. He’s releasing false evidence, trying to turn the tables. He’s using you as a pawn in this game.”Emily stood up, her voice shaking with anger “But this is a lie. I’ve never been involved in any of his dealings. How could they—how could they do this?”James stepped forward, his presence steadying her.“I know it’s hard, but we’ll handle it. The truth will come out. Zhao’s empire is crumbling, and he’s trying to salvage it by dragging you down with him.”Kael entered the room, his face tight with frustration.“The media is already running with it. The damage is being done.”James’s eye
GOD OF WAR BRINGS JUSTICE CHAPTER 169
The harsh glow of the computer screen illuminated James's face as he sat in his private office, going through the latest intel.Winter had just delivered another update about Zhao’s movements, but this time, something was different. His phone buzzed, its screen flashing with an unknown number.He hesitated for a moment before answering."James Black," he said, his voice low, cautious.“Mr. Black,” a woman’s voice replied, smooth but with an edge of bitterness.“I think we have mutual interests.”James sat up straighter, his instincts going on high alert."Who is this?"“Harper Lang,” she said, the name instantly ringing a bell.Harper Lang had been one of Zhao’s trusted associates, a key figure in his empire.A woman with a reputation for being both calculating and ruthless.If she was calling him, something was very wrong for her."I thought you were loyal to Zhao," James replied, his voice laced with skepticism.“Why the sudden change of heart?”There was a pause before Harper’s voic
GOD OF WAR BRINGS JUSTICE CHAPTER 170
Harper didn’t hesitate.“Zhao’s empire is built on a fragile foundation. His secret allies, his hidden funds… they’re his lifeline. You destroy those, you destroy him. I’ve spent years building the intel I’m offering you, but it’s not just about the money. It’s about taking away his power.”Kael spoke up, his voice calm but probing.“How do we know you’re not leading us into a trap?”Harper smirked, clearly unfazed.“I’m not the one who’s been burned, Kael. If I wanted you dead, I would have done it myself already.”James studied her carefully.She wasn’t wrong.If she wanted him dead, she could have easily orchestrated it. But that didn’t mean she could be trusted."What's the first step?" Winter asked, her voice tense.“We need to know what we’re walking into.”Harper leaned forward, her fingers tapping lightly on the table."I have information on a hidden offshore account linked to Zhao’s secret dealings. The kind of money he uses for his black ops, for laundering dirty funds. If w

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
