"Oh! That? Oh, that was Lana Wane, you know, Ryan Wane's daughter. Sometimes, you have to tell a little lie to women, or they get upset," Williams said, trying to hide the real reason he lied to Lana. The truth of the matter is that he doesn't want her to know about his discussion with Eric. “Are you guys dating?” Eric asked Williams. "Well, sort of. We're just getting to know each other. Talking stage." Williams said. "Oh wow. That's cool and nice," Eric replied. They sat silent for awhile, each deep in his own thoughts before Williams broke the silence. “Forgive my manners Mr. Wood. But I should have asked about your family. You know that's the first time I should have asked you after you singlehandedly rescued them from Gomer Frenté and his men. You saved them from that kidnapper, Gomer Frenté, right? What's the update of the matter? Any clue as to who sent them?" Williams asked. When Williams asked about the kidnap, Eric realized he was in the middle of something before Will

Chapter 101The next day, Eric called for an urgent meeting of the board of directors. All the key stakeholders and board members gathered in the conference room.Eric welcomed everyone with a firm handshake and introduced them to each other as needed."Good morning, everyone," Eric began, addressing the room when everyone had settled. "As you all know, we've been facing a persistent threat from a virus that's been affecting our company's systems for weeks now."He gestured to a young man sitting at the table. "I'd like to introduce Williams Jesse, who has been instrumental in neutralizing the virus and safeguarding our systems."Williams nodded politely and waved to the room.Eric continued, "Williams has been working tirelessly to identify and eliminate the source of the virus, and his efforts have been commendable. However, we still need to address the root cause of these attacks to prevent future incidents."The room erupted with murmuring from all corners.“Now, I'd like for Will

Chapter 102“Promotions are done with time, Williams. You can't just wake up one morning and become a head of any department. Besides, we have Sam as the head of the technical department.” Eric said.“You're right. But, if we keep considering this we may lose everything we all worked for over the years. So as the Director of the board, I want to make Williams the Head of the technical department.” Mr. Sterling took the bull by the horn.There was silence in the room. Nobody spoke for almost a minute and then Eric broke the silence.“It's a good idea but how about Sam?”“What about him?” Mr. Sterling asked rudely.“I think Sam is not fit to be the Head of the Technical department because if he was, he should have been here, instead of me.” Williams said.“So is everyone agreeing to this?” Mr. Sterling said and looked around the room.The board members looked at each other, and then began nodding one after the other.None of them dared to object Mr. Sterling's proposal and they thought

Chapter 103Lana had finally convinced Williams to go on a double date with her, Ellen, and James.According to what she told Williams, James wanted to make things right after messing up their last dinner date.That evening, She was a bit nervous but excited.Not just about the date but also because Williams told her that he has been promoted.She and Ellen wore their best dresses, while James and Williams chose smart casual outfits.James picked a nice Italian restaurant downtown, known for its cozy atmosphere and great food.When they met outside the restaurant, Lana and Ellen greeted each other with warm smiles while James and Williams shook hands and tried to leave any awkwardness behind.“You know, last time, you refused to shake my hands, James. I wonder what happened now.” Williams said and everyone burst out laughing.“I guess I have repented.” James said sarcastically and they all laughed again. But William was faking his.As they sat down at their reserved table, the waiter

Chapter 104"Oh yes, Lana is my boss, as you know I'm her chauffeur and I happened to also become friends with her friend Ellen so I must say I'm a lucky man.”“Oh really?”“Yes”"You said you're a chauffeur, is that the only work you do?"The question hit James like a thunderbolt. But before he could answer. Lana covered up for him."Yes" But the answer only betrayed James further because William knows about him from Elson."Oh really?" Williams said sarcastically. "You must have a twin without your knowledge at EMC, because I saw someone looking like you who works there as a janitor. Williams mocked and laughed.James was at a loss for words. "Oh that. I work part-time. “You do part time? But EMC doesn't accept part-time employees. Your story is not quite adding up here lol.”"I um,...” James said and trailed off."Well, James is not a full time employee because he doesn't have the certificate to become a staff at EMC. He was only employed there because he once helped Mr. Wood, and

Chapter 105In Richard Carl's home on a Saturday morning, he lay sick in bed while his wife Kate rained insults and frustration upon him."Kate, please help me, I need to use the bathroom," Richard pleaded."You always bother me, you stupid man!" Kate snapped back."Please, Kate, don't treat me like this. I'm your husband," Richard said weakly.“Ha! What did you say?”Alisha, their daughter, entered the room and scolded her mother for her harsh words. "Mom, he's still your husband," she reminded her. “Stop treating dad like this because he is sick.”"Husband my foot. Who asked him to invest his money into a scam now see the outcome. I can't take this anymore. I'm leaving this house today." Kate said and began packing her bags to go over to her father, Pa Aaron's home.She saw no future with Richard again and can't continue with the marriage."Mom, please don't go, he's your husband.""I'm broke because of him and now, I'm filing for divorce. I can't stay with him anymore. He's ruined

Chapter 106Williams drove directly to Mr. Sterling's mansion to discuss the next line of action in their plans.When he got there, he was ushered into Mr. Sterling's parlor."Hello, Williams," Mr. Sterling greeted as he descended from the stairs."Hello, Mr. Sterling," Williams replied, extending his hand for a handshake.They shook hands firmly."Now, let's get down to business. What's the plan moving forward?" Mr. Sterling inquired."I have a plan," Williams replied confidently. "Once I have gained access to the control unit and can navigate through every sector of EMC. We'll frame Mrs. Lee as the person who sent the virus to EMC, citing her Chinese heritage as a reason for suspicion. Once she's implicated and evicted, you can assume control of the financial department, while I'll pretend to be removing the virus to make the wire transfer process smoother. It'll take weeks to avoid suspicion. Additionally, I'll bill Eric an astronomical amount for tools and software supposedly need

Chapter 397
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 395
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 394
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 391
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
