Chapter 147Meanwhile, James, who was in a meeting with Eric to discuss the ghost workers in the company."This was all part of Mrs. Lee's plan before she was wrongly accused. Now, as her replacement, I want to take over from where she stopped and eliminate all the ghost workers in this company," James proposed."That's a brilliant idea. I trust you on this one, James," Eric replied."Also, there are some workers and securities who take bribes from innocent customers. I want to slash their salaries and possibly fire them," James added."Okay, you can do all this. It's your company, James. Whatever decision you make is right. I trust you," Eric affirmed. "And I want to say that I was genuinely happy with how you managed to secure this position. It wasn't easy, but you did great.""Thank you, Eric," James responded."Alright, I'll schedule the meeting soon," Eric said before they began to hear rising voices downstairs."What's going on?" James asked, concerned."I don't know. Let me ask

Chapter 148Meanwhile Alisha was busy working when the commotion started. She overheard two of her colleagues discussing the matter and wondered what was going on. She decided to go and check it out.As Alisha approached the crowd, she could hear snippets of her mother's voice rising above the murmurs of the onlookers, and her heart skipped."What's going on?" Alisha asked one of her colleagues, feeling a sense of dread creeping over her."Your mom is causing quite a scene," her colleague replied, shaking her head in disbelief. "She's yelling something about James being behind some scam."Alisha's heart sank. She knew her family had been struggling lately after being scammed, but she never expected her mom to create such a public spectacle.Pushing through the crowd, she finally caught sight of her mother, her face flushed with anger as she continued to shout accusations.“Arrest James Clarkson! Arrest James Clarkson! Arrest James Clarkson!” She and some others were shouting."Mum, wh

Chapter 149The atmosphere in the company grew tense as the ESU agents entered the scene, their presence sending waves of alarm through the employees."Wow, this is really serious!" remarked one employee, wide-eyed with concern."It looks like things have escalated quite a bit," observed another, shaking his head in disbelief."The ESU agents? This just got real," murmured a junior staff member, glancing nervously at the officers."James is in deep trouble now. Finally, he will be jailed," exclaimed a security guard, his tone tinged with satisfaction. It was no secret that James had been investigating and uncovering instances of bribery among the security staff, and they were relieved at the prospect of his imminent arrest."Seems like Mrs. Lee's lackey is in a tight spot. He's been laying low ever since this started," remarked a janitor, adding to the growing chatter among the employees.“Yea! He's truly a scammer. No wonder he has refused to show up ever since this happened.”Mr. St

Chapter 150Just as James ended the call, Jonathan Princeton, a group of ESU agents knocked at the door."Open up, who's in here?" one of the agents demanded.James adjusted his tie, composed himself, and walked over to Eric's table. He sat down and crossed his legs. "Yes, come on in," he said casually.The five ESU agents entered the office, their expressions stern and determined."Are you James Clarkson?" one of them asked, cutting straight to the point."Yes, I am, and I've been waiting for you guys for some time now. Welcome, and please, have a seat," James replied sarcastically, gesturing toward an empty chair.The agents exchanged confused glances, unsure of how to react to James's nonchalant demeanor. It was clear that he didn't realize the gravity of the situation."Well, I'm sorry to burst your bubble, young man, but you're under arrest for scamming a lot of people, including your ex in-laws," the lead agent stated firmly."Scam? Me? Scam?" James echoed, his shock evident in

Chapter 151Just as James was about to be led out of the reception hall by the ESU agents, a team of military personnel stormed into the building, sent by Jonathan Princeton through General Arnold, himself. They swiftly surrounded James and the agents, creating a tense standoff.Mr. Sterling was confused. He didn't know why the military was present. Williams, too, was curious to find out why.He thought Mr. Sterling was aware of the development, so he gave Mr. Sterling a side eye, and Mr. Sterling understood. He shook his head, indicating his own confusion.The confusion on everyone's faces was clearly visible."The military is here." A close friend of Kate whispered to her from behind. "What do they want?”"It's clear that they're here to also arrest James." She replied, grinning from ear to ear.“What if they're here to support him?” Someone asked her."Support James? How?""Maybe they're here to stop the arrest.""That's impossible! I hope they don't make things worse.""Yeah, let'

Chapter 152“Now where's the woman who's accusing this young man.” Lt Jones said.By this time, Kate was already shaking as it appears the military was not in support of them. "I'm ." She said, barely."Step forward and explain everything again," Lt. Jones commanded, his voice firm and authoritative.Kate hesitated for a moment, glancing around at the stern faces of the military personnel and the curious onlookers. Finally, she gathered her courage and stepped forward, her hands trembling slightly."I-I accused James Clarkson of being behind the Enron scam," Kate began, her voice shaky. “This is the evidence. Someone gave them to me and they're true.” she said and handed the evidence to the lieutenant."And who gave you this false evidence?" Lt. Jones asked, his gaze piercing as he went through the evidence.Kate hesitated again, glancing nervously at Mr. Sterling and Williams, who were watching the proceedings with keen interest. She knew she couldn't reveal Williams' involvement bec

Chapter 153The atmosphere in the reception hall was tense as Mr. Sterling stormed out angrily, followed by his personal assistant Morris Huggo.Williams, the mastermind behind the scheme, felt frustrated as his carefully planned plot began to fall apart. He exchanged a glance with Mr. Sterling, silently acknowledging the setback. He also exchanged a glance with Kate, signifying her to oppose the lieutenant Jones’ decision.Kate began to shout and throw tantrums at the military men. "You're not supposed to come here! This is not your job. The ESU Should have handled it better. You're all unprofessional. You are not doing the right thing," she said and began to wail.“Please madam, we're only being professional here and you should not cause more commotion.” Lt. Jones said respectfully to Kate but she kept shouting and disturbing the place.Seeing that she was not listening, Lt. Jones said nothing but signaled to one of his men who forcefully escorted Kate out of the company.Meanwhile,

Chapter 154“What's the next plan now?" Mr. Sterling asked.“Listen and watch." Williams said and called the head of the ESU agents.Williams had already set his sights on his next target: Eric and also James. With the head of the ESU agents, Mr. Donald Duke under his thumb, he wasted no time in implementing his next scheme.Unknown to everyone, and before the start of this heist, Williams has been blackmailing the head of the ESU agents. Mr. Donald Duke, DD for a sex tape scandal.First he now wants to use Mr. Donald Duke to sue the military for interfering in the case and also sue Eric for not wanting to recognize a national hero who once helped the agents in rescuing Williams' family.The reason Eric didn't want to identify the national hero is because James is the national hero and he's keeping his identity a secret and Williams was beginning to suspect it."Hello, please, what do you want, sir?" Donald Duke answered over the phone.He doesn't know who Williams was because William

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. The faint glow of the moo

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 392
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 390
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 389
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
