Chapter 120

Eric instructed the person in charge of the CCTV footage to connect it to the TV in the auditorium. After a few minutes, the footage appeared on the screen.

As the crowd watched, they saw James and Elson entering the restroom. They witnessed the moment when James found the bag and wanted to take it to the CEO. However, Elson disagreed, and a fight broke out, with James ultimately beating him like a child.

The audience gasped as they watched the scene unfold. Some began to reconsider their earlier judgments of James.

The revelation from the CCTV footage changed many people's perspectives, leading them to rally behind James.

"It looks like James is actually a good guy," someone remarked.

"We shouldn't have doubted him," another person admitted.

"I support James Clarkson," declared a voice from the far end of the crowd.

"He really is a hero."

"I feel bad for doubting him now.”

"It's clear Mr. Sterling was trying to manipulate us."

"James deserves that promotion and reward."

    Chapter 121A fancy black Bugatti La Voiture Noire drove towards the front gate of EMC. It was James.Outside the gate, a crowd of customers gathered and were desperate to enter.The customers heard the news that EMC is under attack by a virus and they all came to withdraw their money from EMC's commercial bank."Let us in! Our money is in danger," they pleaded with the security guard."Please, we need to get inside," another customer begged.“You'll only get inside when you pay 10 dollars. Or else, or your money will be lost.” One of the security guards threatened the customers."Don't take bribes from us, it's not fair!" someone shouted angrily.James saw what was happening and decided to use the customers gate. He rolled down his window and demanded, "What's happening there?""Sir, the security guards won't let us in. They're asking for bribes," one customer explained. "Our money is at risk, and we need to withdraw it."James turned off his car and got out. "Hey everyone, calm down

"I'm...""I know you. You're James, the new assistant to the director of finances. Congratulations," Milly interrupted with a smile."Thank you," James replied politely."Okay, so I want to get to know you, maybe spend some quality time with you if you know what I mean," Milly said, and brandished a sensual smile while searching her pocket before handing him her business card. "Here's my card, that's my number. Make sure you give me a call."James hesitated for a moment, not particularly interested, but he took the card to avoid embarrassing her. "Alright, I'll see you later. Right now, I have to report to my office," he said as he walked away.Milly watched him go, smiling to herself before turning and heading back to

    Chapter 123 Williams got to his office and quickly got back to work. His plan was to hack into the new server, claiming it has been breached by the hackers. He would then request a large sum of money from Eric to buy tools that he would use to fix it. “Nice scamming strategy!” He boasted to himself. “At least this would generate over 10 million dollars for me.” Within a few minutes he was able to breach the new EMC's server where every employee's information was moved, with his sophisticated software. He searched the server, looking for Mrs. Lee's profile and it didn't not take him a few seconds before he found it. “There you're, Mrs. Fucking Lee.” He smirked. “Now let me see how you'll be able to come out of this after I have framed you. But first, the whole of EMC must feel my shock.” He said and sent an email to everyone on the server. *** Mrs. Lee told James everything he needed to know as the personal assistant. But just as they were deep in discussion, an urgent message

It appears he was still pissed that James was promoted."Say that again and I'll bang your head hard across this marble table," James replied angrily."You're just good for nothing, and you can't do anything. Try," Williams scoffed at him.James clenched his fist hard and angrily stormed across the table towards Williams.Williams saw him coming and readied himself for the confrontation.It was evident that the enmity between the two has grown and they can't wait to dig it out among themselves.William was sincerely trying hard to find out who James really is and James on the other hand is trying to figure out what his intentions are.Eric saw how the situation was escalating and then intervened, "Enough of this, both of you!

That'd be great," James affirmed."A second double date it is then," Lana chimed in.Eric looked up from his seat with a playful jealous look. "Oh, how I wish I was younger.""Yeah, you can join us too, Mr. Wood. It's gonna be worth having the CEO and his lovely wife around," Williams said. He wanted to meet her too and if possible manipulate her."Nope, you guys should go along. I don't want to ruin your date for you. Anyway, send me your account number. Let me send 10 million dollars for you," Eric said."Of course," Williams agreed and sent his account details.Instantly, Eric sent him 15 million dollars."Sent," Eric confirmed."Received.

    Chapter 397Morning broke with a dull glow, illuminating the quiet safe house nestled deep in the woods. Inside, tension hung thick in the air. Williams was standing near the window with a phone pressed to his ear, speaking in a calm but calculated tone.“We’ve got your son, Charles,” he said, his voice steady. “But we haven’t located Jaxon.”On the other end of the line, Mr. Sterling’s voice cracked with emotion. “Charles? Is he safe? Are you sure?” Relief flooded his tone, but it was quickly shadowed by anxiety. “What about Jaxon? Did you find him? Is there anything—anything—leading up to him?”Williams let out a quiet sigh, one that sounded more like practiced patience than genuine concern. “That’s all we could manage,” he replied. “The men who took Jaxon still have him, and from what we’ve gathered, they plan to kill him if there’s any interference.”Mr. Sterling was silent for a beat, processing the grim news. Then, his voice rose, tinged with panic. “What do I do now? How do I

    Chapter 396

    Chapter 396James and Gregor stepped out of their concealed position in the underbrush as the taillights of the SUV disappeared into the darkness. The cool night air was eerily silent now, broken only by the faint rustling of leaves and the muffled sounds of wildlife in the distance. The ground beneath their boots crunched softly as they moved toward the aftermath of the chaos they had just witnessed.Gregor’s eyes scanned the scene, his face expressionless as he took in the lifeless bodies sprawled across the area. Three of them, including Ben they once held, lay motionless, their weapons discarded and their blood staining the dirt beneath them.Gregor crouched beside one of the bodies, briefly checking for a pulse, though he already knew there was none. Standing, he shook his head and muttered, “Well, that’s the life they’ve chosen for themselves.”James, standing a few steps behind him, remained silent for a moment, his sharp eyes darting around the scene.

    Chapter 395The shadows of the dilapidated bunker stretched long under the moonlight as Williams and his team lay in wait. They had taken up position hours earlier, tucked inside Jaxon’s sleek sports car, the dark, polished metal blending seamlessly into the night. The air inside the vehicle was stifling, thick with tension and the faint metallic tang of gun oil. Every man was armed and ready, their nerves wound tight, waiting for the right moment to strike. Williams sat in the driver’s seat, his hands resting casually on the steering wheel, though his eyes never left the rearview mirror. Beside him, Kane sat rigid, one hand gripping Jaxon’s arm firmly while the other rested on the stock of a shotgun lying across his lap. In the cramped sports car, Tom and Dorian crouched uncomfortably in the trunk, their weapons at the ready, waiting for Williams’ signal.The silence inside the car was shattered when headlights cut through the darkness. A single car approached, its rumbling engine e

    Chapter 394The dense canopy of the forest loomed overhead, casting long shadows over the makeshift campsite where James and Gregor had been holed up for days. The air was damp, thick with the earthy scent of moss and pine, and the distant call of nocturnal creatures echoed through the stillness.Gregor sat cross-legged on the damp ground, his eyes glued to the small tablet in his lap. A blinking red dot pulsed steadily on the screen—the nano tracker they’d planted on Ben’s phone.For three grueling days, they’d followed that dot from one hideout to another, staying just far enough away not to be detected. They’d spent their nights in the car or in the bush, catching only brief moments of sleep between shifts of surveillance.Tonight was no different, and Gregor’s tired eyes burned as he watched the screen, hoping for any sign of movement.James lay stretched out on the ground beside him, his jacket pulled over his face to block out the faint moonlight filtering through the trees.

    Chapter 393Jack paced back and forth in the dimly lit room, his gun laid out on the table as he meticulously assembled and armored it. Each metallic click echoed in the stale air, punctuating the tense atmosphere.They had to switch hideouts when Ben rejoined them, in case he was being tailed. Jack carefully considered the situation and concluded that bringing him back into the operation as an additional resource would be a wise decision, just in case they encountered any unexpected challenges but he made sure they switch hideout from time to time. But their main exchange point was still the old bunker because it has a lot of escape routes and underground tunnels.Ken was nearby, double-checking their supply of ammunition, while Denver and Ben lounged on an old, battered couch, their excitement barely contained.“Finally, we’re getting out of this shithole with a bundle of millions,” Denver said to Ben, leaning back with a smug grin. He flicked a discarded cigarette butt into the cor

    Chapter 392The evening sky was a dusky orange, streaked with long trails of purple as the sun dipped below the horizon. Williams parked the sleek, black car that Mr. Sterling had secured for him—a high-profile Lamborghini that was both remarkable and practical for what was about to go down.The tinted windows gleamed faintly in the fading light as he stepped out, dressed in a dark hoodie and jeans. He adjusted the baseball cap on his head and pulled it lower to obscure his face further.Kane was already waiting near the edge of the gravel lot, leaning casually against a rusted lamp post that barely flickered to life. His stance was relaxed, but his eyes darted around, sharp and alert. A few paces away, Tom and Dorian lingered by the entrance to the abandoned warehouse, their conversation low but punctuated with short laughs.Williams approached Kane with purposeful strides. Without a word, he gestured for Kane to follow him a short distance away from the others.“They ready?” William

    Chapter 391Andrew’s pen hovered over the page. “Eric Wood? The CEO of EMC?”“Yes,” Sterling said, his voice steady now, laced with conviction. “He’s had a vendetta against my family for months. He’s jealous of our success, our influence. And now, with everything happening at EMC, I wouldn’t put it past him to stoop this low. My two sons were kidnapped in a sparse of a few weeks. Is it not strange?”Andrew tilted his head, his expression skeptical. “That’s a serious accusation, Mr. Sterling. Do you have any evidence to support this?”Mr. Sterling sighed heavily, as though burdened by the weight of his own claim. “Not concrete evidence, no. But think about it. He has the resources, the motive. And I heard through some… private channels that he’s been meeting with unsavory characters lately. People who could easily pull off something like this.”Andrew jotted a few notes, his pen moving quickly. “I see. I’ll look into it. But you understand we can’t act on hearsay alone.”“Of course, of

    Chapter 390As soon as Mr. Sterling ended the call with Williams, he hurried to his closet, throwing on a sleek navy suit and matching tie. His hands trembled slightly as he adjusted the knot, but he steeled himself, taking a deep breath.This wasn’t just a favor for Williams; it was a calculated move to get his two sons back. Grabbing his keys, he rushed out of his mansion, the elevator ride to the ground floor feeling agonizingly slow.When he finally stepped outside, the cool morning air bit at his face, but he paid it no mind. His black sedan waited at the curb, and he climbed in, starting the engine with a growl. As he sped toward Sky Suite, he rehearsed the lies he might need to tell to retrieve Jaxon’s car.The towering Sky Suite hotel loomed ahead, its modern glass facade gleaming brightly under the early morning sun. As Mr. Sterling approached the entrance, his stomach tightened. The sight of two patrol cars parked near the lobby entrance made his pulse quicken. Uniformed off

    Chapter 389As soon as Kane received the message from Tom that Jaxon had finally broken under the pressure and confessed, he immediately pulled out his phone and dialed Williams. His tone was sharp, clipped, and direct as he relayed the crucial information.“He finally talked,” Kane said without any preamble. “He’s given up Jack’s location—some bunker near the old docks.”Williams, on the other end of the line, didn’t respond right away. The faint sound of tapping, likely his pen against his desk, filled the silence. “Good,” Williams finally said, his voice steady but tinged with calculation. “Did he say anything about how many men Jack has with him?”“Yeah,” Kane replied. “Three, including Jack himself. He said one of them ran away. It’s a small crew.”Williams let out a low hum of approval. “That’s manageable. We’ve got the numbers, four to three. Here’s the plan,” he said, leaning forward in his chair. “You’re going to prep Jaxon to lead you straight to the bunker. He’s our key. Ma
