Chapter 169

They were still watching Williams when they saw him approach a very beautiful lady standing alone. From the look of things, they sensed that things were not going well between them. The girl frowned when she saw Williams, and though he was trying to talk to her, she wasn't listening.

"Who's that girl?" Liam asked Kai, who was also confused.

"I don't know," Kai replied, his eyes narrowing as he tried to read the situation.

"Probably his girlfriend," Liam suggested.

Kai shook his head. "Maybe they're close, but I doubt she's his girlfriend."

"Well, there's only one way to find out," Liam said, decisively. He straightened his suit jacket and began walking towards the girl.

Kai watched as Liam approached her, his curiosity piqued.

As Liam neared the girl, he noticed the tension in her posture and the way she subtly stepped back from Williams. He took a deep breath and stepped in between them, smiling warmly.

"Hello," Liam greeted the girl, ignoring Williams for the moment. "I c

"I want to thank each and every one of you for being here tonight. This gathering is a celebration of our hard work and dedication over the past year."He paused, scanning the room and making eye contact with several attendees, including the Carls, "Our achievements wouldn't be possible without the collective effort of every department and individual here.

Despite the success of the party and having the Carl extended family under his thumb, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.He should have been happy about the upcoming court cases against James, and Eric and the progress of their plans, but a nagging sense of unease persisted.He felt like someone was watching him, yet he couldn't pinpoint who. The thought gnawed at him, making it hard to relax. Suddenly, he remembered the guy who had interrupted his conversation with Alisha. The man had been quite the gentleman—rich, handsome, and confident. Williams suspected that the guy might be up to no good, but he had no idea who he was.Williams sat up, his mind racing. He decided he needed more information. Picking up his phone, he dialed a number of one of the CCTV staff under him at EMC.“Hello, who's this?” The guy replied from the other end."Hey, it's Williams.

The party had been okay, but she couldn't shake the cloud of unease that had been hanging over her for some time now, with everything happening in her family.She remembered the guy from last night who had interrupted her awful conversation with Williams. The guy had introduced himself as Liam Carter. Alisha realized he was quite the gentleman. Handsome and evidently wealthy, he had given her his business card. Initially, Alisha hadn't thought much of it, but now her curiosity about this young man was growing.She retrieved the card from her purse and studied it. "Liam Carter," she murmured, tracing the embossed letters with her finger. There was something about him that intrigued her—perhaps it was his confidence or the way he had so effortlessly defused the tension between her and Williams.Alisha couldn't deny that she found Liam attractive.

Kai Nakamura, who was sitting beside him in his office at Carter Comb, the official headquarters of the Carter dynasty, glanced over curiously."Who was that?" Kai asked, his tone casual but curious.Liam leaned back in his chair, still feeling the rush of excitement from the conversation with Alisha. "That was Alisha Carl," he replied, his voice tinged with enthusiasm.Kai raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Alisha Carl? As in, from the Carl family?"Liam nodded, a smile spreading across his face. "That's the one. We met at the party last night, and I just asked her out on a date."Kai chuckled, impressed. "Well, well, Liam Carter stepping up his game. I'm impressed."Ever since he had known Liam, Liam was never the type to think about going out on dates with girls. What he does is to whore around.Liam grinned, feeling a sense of pride at Kai's approval. "Thanks, Kai. I have a good feeling about this

He needed to see how they always acted and how easily it would be to get them under his control.The Carls appeared to lead a relatively predictable life, which worked in Kai’s favor.

Were you successful?"Kai recounted his encounter with Williams while he went to monitor the Carl family, explaining how he found Williams there too and had tracked him to a high-end apartment complex.“Did you go in?”Kai hesitated for a moment, weighing his words carefully.

    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 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

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
