Without warning, Williams lunged at James, initiating a fierce fight.James dodged and rolled to the opposite side, but Williams quickly recovered, delivering a powerful kick aimed at James' groin. James managed to block the kick and shoved Williams backward, sending him a few feet away.Williams swiftly rebounded and launched a punch at James, which landed on his jaw with a sharp crack. The force of another kick from Williams to James' back sent pain shooting through his body. Realizing the strength of his opponent, James decided to make for the door to rescue whoever was trapped inside.Williams, anticipating James' move, blocked his path with lightning speed. James attempted a kick, but Williams caught his leg in mid-air and delivered a series of brutal punches to James' nose. The third punch was nar

Kai shouted, trying to get his attention.Liam turned, his face lighting up with a mix of relief and confusion. "Kai? Thank goodness you're here."Kai didn't have time to explain. "Liam, these men are not who they say they are. They're here to sabotage us. We need to get you out of here, now!"James and Gregor turned towards Kai, their expressions hardening. "What?" Gregor replied, his hands raised in a bit of a surrender.“No, Kai. These guys just saved me from—” Liam said but was interrupted by Kai."Liam, come with me!" He moved forward, ready to fight if necessary.Just that moment, Williams and Morris were running towards their direction. They saw Liam, James and Gregor and began to attack them once more.Williams lunged at Liam's but James blocked his path and they crashed into each othe

Chapter 233Kai Nakamura sat tensely in the back of the ambulance, watching as the paramedics worked swiftly to stabilize Liam Carter.The steady beep of the heart monitor was a lifeline, a tenuous connection to the friend and partner he couldn't afford to lose. Liam's body was a patchwork of bruises, his breathing shallow and labored. He clenched his fists, feeling a surge of rage for whoever had done this. Williams and Eric Woods were his primary suspects, and he vowed to make them pay dearly. His mind raced, filled with a mix of anger and fear.He couldn't help but think back to everything he and Liam had planned together, all the dreams and aspirations they had shared. The thought of losing Liam was unbearable."How is he?" Kai asked one of the paramedics, trying to keep his voice steady.The paramedic glanced up briefly, her expression focused and professional. "He's stable for now, but we need to get him to the hospital immediately. There's a lot of bruising and potential inter

Chapter 234Williams and Morris barely made it out of the fire alive.The flames licked at their heels, and the air was thick with smoke. The fight had taken its toll on both of them, and they were aware that they were not a match for their opponent.His strength and speed had overwhelmed them, and it was only the building’s sudden, violent creaking that gave them a chance to escape.As the building shook, Williams saw an opening. "Now!" he yelled to Morris, shoving Kai aside with a desperate burst of energy. Kai stumbled, and Williams used the moment to dive into the staircase where the fire raged fiercely. Morris, without a second thought, followed close behind."Go, go, go!" Williams shouted over his shoulder, his voice barely audible over the roar of the fire.Morris coughed, the smoke stinging his eyes. "Are you sure about this? We need a way out, not deeper in!""We’ll make it to the roof!" Williams barked back. "Trust me, it's our only shot!"They climbed the stairs two at a ti

He moved skillfully with a deadly fighting style that aimed at unaliving the men.But just as the building creaked loudly, they saw one of the fake fire fighters shove Nathaniel aside and dive into the staircase with his partner following close behind. Whether they survived, James and Gregor couldn’t tell.And that may become their fate if they don't get out now! James turned to Gregor. "We need to get out of here. Now."Gregor nodded. "Agreed. Let’s head for the main entrance, but we need to be cautious. We can’t afford to be seen."They moved swiftly but carefully, making their way to the staircase leading downstairs. The flames roared around them, but the

Chapter 236The next morning, as early as 6 a.m., James and Gregor freshened up, left the motel, and headed straight to EMC. They flagged down a taxi and gave the driver their location. As they drove through the city, the news of the fire at Carter Comb was broadcast on the radio. The report mentioned that Liam Carter, the CEO, had narrowly escaped assassination and was badly injured and bruised at the hands of four men who had disguised themselves as firefighters. Hearing this, James heaved a sigh of relief.The taxi driver, an older man with a gruff voice, shook his head. "It's a damn shame what's happening in this city. People can't even go to work without worrying about some maniacs setting buildings on fire."James nodded, engaging the man in conversation. "Yeah, it's terrible. Can't believe something like that happened at Carter Comb. What do you think about it?"The driver sighed. "It's a sad state of affairs. Used to be a safe place, this city. Now, you can't trust anyone. I

It was only yesterday that she had seen him at the hospital when he came to visit her dad.She quickly rushed to the living room to confirm if the news was true. But when she got there, she remembered that her mom had recently broken the TV. She sighed in frustration and turned to head back to her room.Her mom, Kate, was sitting in the living room and noticed Alisha’s distressed state. "What’s the matter, Alisha?" she asked."Nothing, Mom," Alisha replied tersely.Kate looked at her daughter with concern. "How’s your dad? When do you plan on taking me to see him?"Ever since Richard was taken to the hospital for treatment, Kate had been constantly asking Alisha to see him. Kate's sudden change in behavior and newfound kindness towards Richard irritated Alisha, who knew her mom was simply a gold digger.Alisha flared up. "As if you care about him," she

Chapter 238Kai managed to control himself, suppressing his rage for the sake of Liam's condition."Kai, are you listening to me?" Alisha asked, her voice trembling with concern.Kai's eyes flickered with cold anger as he finally looked at her. "I need to be alone, Alisha," he said curtly. "Just… leave me alone."The coldness in his voice was like a slap to her face. Alisha's tears fell freely now, but she nodded and stood up. She understood that he was in pain and needed time to process everything.Without another word, she turned and left the room, feeling more helpless than ever.As she walked out, she glanced back one last time at Kai, who had already turned away from her, lost in his dark thoughts.She wished there was something she could do to help, but she knew that right now, space was the only thing she could offer him.Back in the hallway, Alisha leaned against the wall, trying to steady her breathing.

James’ eyes, sharp and unyielding, scanned the pages, his brow furrowed as he pieced together the puzzle that threatened his reclaimed empire.His dark hair fell slightly over his forehead, a stray lock he brushed back with a quick, impatient flick of his hand. The man who once scrubbed floors at a grocery store was gone; in his place sat the Wane heir, his jaw tight with resolve.The weight of Gregor’s words from his meeting with Kai at the Starlight Diner clung to J

Chapter 473: Secrets in the SunThe Wane family estate in Emerald Falls sprawled across manicured lawns, its white marble facade gleaming under the late morning sun. The air hummed with the scent of blooming jasmine and the distant buzz of a lawnmower, a serene backdrop to the opulent mansion that whispered wealth and power. Inside, the grand foyer echoed with the soft clink of crystal chandeliers and the faint murmur of staff moving discreetly through the halls.Ellen Princeton stood at the threshold, her designer suitcase resting by her polished heels, her auburn hair catching the light as she adjusted her sunglasses atop her head. Her tailored cream blazer and matching skirt spoke of elegance, but her hazel eyes betrayed a flicker of weariness—her father Jonathan Princeton’s presidential campaign, now on hold, had left her navigating a storm of public scrutiny and private doubts.The heavy oak doors swung open, and Lana Wane swept into the foyer, her long, curly hair bouncing with

The air carried the faint scent of leather, a testament to the wealth and power that defined the sprawling estate in the heart of Emerald Falls.Kai Nakamura stood near a towering window, the night sky beyond framing his lean silhouette. His gray suit was slightly rumpled from the day, but his sharp features remained composed, his dark eyes glinting with calculation. In his hand, he clutched the folded paper Gregor had given him at the Starlight Diner hours earlier—Lana Wane’s Greece itinerary, a key to unlocking the Wane family’s secrets. Kai’s mind churned, replaying Gregor’s words about Williams Jesse and Mr. Sterling’s virus scheme. Someone else knew, and that was a problem.The heavy oak door creaked open, and Liam Carter strode in, his tailored navy suit pristine despite the late hour.
Chapter 470: Shadows of Deception
Chapter 470: Shadows of DeceptionThe fluorescent lights of the Starlight Diner buzzed faintly, casting a harsh glow over the checkered linoleum floor and worn red booths. The air smelled of greasy burgers, stale coffee, and a hint of cigarette smoke that clung to the walls despite the no-smoking sign.Gregor sat in a corner booth, his broad shoulders hunched over a chipped mug of black coffee, the steam curling upward like a ghost. His hair, neatly combed, glinted under the lights, and his weathered face was set in a mask of calm, though his sharp gray eyes flicked to the diner’s entrance every few seconds. As James Wane’s loyal butler and covert operative, Gregor was no stranger to clandestine meetings, but tonight’s rendezvous with Kai Nakamura felt like walking a tightrope over a pit of vipers.His phone sat on the table, the screen dark but heavy with James’s last text: Give him the itinerary. Push the Sterling-Williams angle. Say you’ve got dirt on their virus scheme. Let’s see

Chapter 470 A Game of Trust (Continued)James glanced at the reports again, his fingers flipping through pages, searching for a clue he might’ve missed. The absence of Kai’s report gnawed at him. “What are you hiding, Nathaniel?” he murmured, his voice barely audible.The door creaked open, and Ana Davies, his secretary, stepped inside, her dark hair pulled into a neat bun, her glasses catching the light. She clutched a tablet, her posture professional but her eyes curious. “Mr. Clarkson, the meeting’s in an hour. Need anything prepped?” Her voice was crisp, but a slight tilt of her head betrayed her interest in his mood.James flashed a disarming smile, masking the storm in his mind. He leaned back, tossing the pen onto the desk with a casual flick. “Just the financials, Ana. And… any word from Patel’s team on the virus cleanup?”Ana crossed the room, her heels clicking softly on the hardwood floor. She stopped at the desk, tapping her tablet to pull up a file. “Nothing official. Mr.
Chapter 469: A Game of Trust
Chapter 469: A Game of TrustThe late afternoon sun filtered through the tinted windows of James’ office, casting long shadows across his polished mahogany desk.The room was a blend of modern elegance and understated power—sleek monitors, neatly stacked files, and a single framed photo of his parents, a reminder of the legacy he was fighting for.James leaned back in his leather chair, his fingers steepled under his chin. His sharp blue eyes, usually calm, flickered with unease as he stared at the muted TV screen mounted on the wall. The news ticker blazed: “EMC VIRUS NEUTRALIZED: COMPANY RESTORED TO FULL OPERATIONS.”James’s jaw tightened. Yesterday’s headlines had been a whirlwind of relief for EMC—customers flooding back, stock prices climbing, and employees celebrating. But to James, it felt too neat, too sudden. He’d long suspected Williams Jesse, the cunning tech manager, and Mr. Sterling, the manipulative head of the board, was behind the virus that had crippled EMC’s systems
Chapter 468: The Hidden Hand
Chapter 468: The Hidden HandThe dawn light crept beneath the heavy drapes of Williams Jesse’s bedroom, painting thin stripes of gold across his neatly made bed. He lay still for a moment, listening to the low hum of traffic outside. On the bedside table, the news channel played on mute, flashing headlines across the screen: “EMC VIRUS NEUTRALIZED,” “CUSTOMERS POUR BACK IN,” and “COMPANY STABILITY RESTORED.”Williams propped himself up on one elbow and reached for the remote, clicking off the TV. He studied the blank screen for a heartbeat, then swung his legs over the edge of the bed and stood. The past few days had been a masterclass in deception, and now the world believed the danger was gone. But in truth, the real virus—silent, undetectable, and far more dangerous—lay hidden in the deepest layers of EMC’s network.He dressed quickly in a crisp white shirt and charcoal slacks, buttoning cuffs with precise motions. His reflection in the mirror showed a calm, confident man. No one w

Whispers of the recent virus removal and the mysterious figure behind it dominated conversations.The middle rows were filled with dozens of staff from departments like finance, IT, customer care, logistics, and development.

The Control Center’s success had set off a chain reaction that echoed through every floor, every department, and every hallway of the company.By 9 a.m., EMC was alive with celebration. In the reception area of the main lobby, clusters of employees stood huddled around digital screens and glowing tables, their voices buzzing like a swarm of bees. The virus was gone. Just like that.
