GOD OF WAR BRINGS JUSTICE Chapter 29: The last vote
James sat across from Emily at the upscale restaurant, silently sipping his glass of iced tea. The soft hum of conversation and clinking glasses filled the air.He had brought Emily to the restaurant to have her breakfast, after they left the office, since she skipped it. And now, they were silently facing each other - again. Emily's brow furrowed, curiosity latching on her face. "James, how are you going to help me as you promised?"James's expression was natural. " I will do everything in my power, Emily. You don't really have to worry but place your trust in me. Just like I saved our daughter, I will do the same." He gave a reply, that was quite unsatisfactory to Emily, making her eyes to roll. "No, just tell me the truth, James. " Emily asked, her voice laced with skepticism. " The Song corporation is a powerful opponent, there's no way the Thompson company can defeat them." Her heart plunged in turmoil again, thinking of their thin chances, and her expression dulled. It

Sounds of hurried footsteps occupied the reception room, as Emily's delicate but anxious face revealed. Frustration overtook her face, fading the anxious one, knowing the current issue about her twisted ankle, was retraining her movement. She groaned, struggling to increase her pace, but her movement remained the same. Dropping down her shoulders, she ambled towards her aimed place, where her father was. " Mum, what happened to dad?" Stepping into the ward slowly, her previous anxious look blending with concern, etched on her face, the moment she was in. " How did he had an heart attack?" She inquired in a curious tone, dragging her feet in approach towards the man lying on the single bed. Steven's eyes were shut, his breathing stable, and the sound of beeping machine demonstrated he was still alive. Juliet, who stood beside Steven, raised her head at her daughter who just stepped in. Her face was flushed, with tears lurking around the corner of her eyes, betraying her compos
GOD OF WAR BRINGS JUSTICE Chapter 31. The Sect
James sat in President Richard's study, staring at the latter with a collected expression . "Zhao's declaration has shaken everything," Richard uttered, his voice laced with worry. He was still unstable from what his encounter earlier with Wei Zhao, his face tensing. "He has gained too much power, General. The only way he can be stopped before more damage would done, is for you to reveal your true identity - as the god of war."The expression on James' face was undescribable, hearing this. He squinted his eyes calmly. " Tell me more about the sect." Ignoring president Richard's statement, he instead demanded. President Richard sighed unwillingly.How could he forget no one can force the king of the west, to reverse his decision?He answered, rubbing his chin. " The sect is called the Lords' world. It was created a decade ago, when some important personalities felt the need to have a space of their own. This was not only to form more social capital and network but to control the

James's voice was deadly low and urgent as he called Kael. "Pick us up. We need to get to the secret house now."Kael's prompt response reassured James. "Yes, my lord. May I ask what happened?"He could sense the urgency and deadly intent from James' voice. "The car exploded," James replied, his tone grim.Kael was silenced for some seconds. " Zhao is really unrelenting!" ...Within few minutes, Kael got to where James and Kael were..James and Emily thanked the kiosk man sincerely before they took their leave. However, James instructed Kael with his eyes to reward the kiosk owner. After the two got into the car, Kael approached the kiosk man and sent him one million dollars, which was nothing compared to the abundant wealth belonging to the god of war. The kiosk man trembled all over, not anticipating this. He collapsed on the ground excitedly and screamed with joy bursting out from his face!" This is much!" He cried out, his eyes bulging at the amount he was seeing on hi

An ambulance was immediately drove towards the locationThe information caused a stir, especially from the patients who overheard it. Juliet was just proceeding to get dinner for herself. After almost an hour of calming down from her outburst and thinking about Emily's words on the investors willing to pour their resources on the ThompsonIt was at this period,her ears caught a whiff of what was going on. "An accident?" She repeated, knitting her brows. Then, she took several steps back and asked the nurses curiously about the accident. " Excuse me, can you tell me more about the accident?" She offered a warm smile as she requested nicely from the nurses. The nurses glanced at her indifferently. " The accident occurred an hour ago. It was a car explosion, and the car has been identified as one of the cars that drove out of this hospital. From the CCTV, it is deducted it be

After the call with Wei Zhao, Victor didn't hesitate to call his father, although large amount of shock was written over his face. He instructed the guards beside him to dial Leonard's line, the hospital's fluorescent lights above his bed casting an eerie glow.The call went through immediately. "Dad...James Donovan...he's still alive," Victor stammered, his voice barely above a whisper.The line crackled, and Leonard's shocked tone echoed through the phone." What?! Don't spout nonsense! What are you saying?!" " Zhao just called me! James Donovan is all over the news with his wife!" Victor exclaimed, his face becoming gloomy even more. Leonard demanded over the phone, his voice laced with disbelief. " Are you sure about this?" Victor's grip on the phone tightened. " Yes!!! He said he will burn those who tried to frame his death! Dad, I thought you said you took care of him! Didn't he dare from the car explosion?" Leonard's pause was palpable. "No, this can't be!" It was still

"I want to speak with her, now!"James's jaw clenched, he rose from the couch and stepped outside, seeking refuge from Juliet's toxic rage.Kael silently watched his master, enduring the audacious words from his mother in law. If only Juliet was aware James was not to be trifled with. She would scratch her mouth on the ground regretfully. "Emily," James called softly, entering the adjacent room where Emily sat with Sarah.Emily looked up, reacting to him. "Mum is on the line," James said, handing her the phone. "She wants to speak with you." Emily's eyes widened, but she took the phone."Mum," she spoke up, her voice filling with something inexplicable.

CHAPTER 256
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

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
