JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 236
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

Chapter 237Alisha was preparing for work when she heard the news. Fear gripped her, and she couldn't believe what had just happened. 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. The weight of the day's events was pressing down on her. She had come her

Chapter 239Kai remained in his corner, fists clenched, and thoughts swirling. He hated feeling this helpless and out of control. His mind raced with thoughts of vengeance against Williams and anyone else responsible for Liam's condition. But deep down, he knew that acting on those impulses now would only make things worse.Yesterday, he had already put someone in charge and instructed the security guards to look around the company for any signs of evidence against the culprits—CCTV footage and all.He replayed the events in his mind: the fire, the fight, the chaos. It all seemed like a nightmare. His thoughts drifted to Liam, who lay unconscious in a hospital bed, fighting for his life. The anger inside Kai slowly gave way to a profound sense of guilt and sorrow. He had failed to protect his friend, and that failure gnawed at him.After what felt like hours, Kai finally stood up and walked to the window. The sun was beginning to set, casting a warm glow over the city. It was a stark

Chapter 240Alisha spent the entire evening at Skycare, consumed by worry and anxiety. As night fell, she decided to check up on her father, who was still receiving treatment in a different ward. Though he had almost recovered, the strain of recent events weighed heavily on her mind.Before leaving, she informed Kai, who nodded solemnly. "Take care, Alisha. If anything changes with Liam, I'll let you know.""Thank you, Kai," she replied softly before making her way to her father's ward.When she walked in, she found Richard sitting up on his bed, his face lighting up with a smile as he saw her. "Alisha! It's good to see you, sweetheart.""Hi, Dad," she managed to say, her voice cracking slightly.Richard immediately noticed the strain on her face. His smile faded into concern. "What’s wrong, darling? You look so distressed."Alisha couldn’t hold back her tears any longer. She began sobbing, covering her face with her hands. "It’s Liam, Dad. He’s in a terrible condition."Richard’s eye

Chapter 241After some more tries, Kai managed to put a call through to a tow truck operator.Alisha could hear him explaining the situation to the tow truck operator. When he hung up, he turned to her. "They’ll be here in about twenty minutes. In the meantime, let’s try to stay warm in my car."Alisha shivered slightly, the cold seeping through her clothes. "Thank you, Kai. I don’t know what I would’ve done if you hadn’t shown up."Kai gave her a small smile. "It’s nothing. I couldn’t leave you out here alone. Besides, I was worried about you."Alisha’s expression softened. "I was so scared, Kai. First Liam, and now this... it’s been a terrible day."Kai reached over and took her hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "We’ll get through this, Alisha. Liam’s strong, and he’ll pull through. And we’ll find out who did this and make them pay."She nodded, feeling a sense of comfort from his words. "You’re right. We have to stay strong."They sat in silence in the car for a moment, the rai

Chapter 242After waiting for about an hour, the evening had already started to fade into night. Alisha and Kai sat in the waiting area of the service station, each lost in their own thoughts. Alisha tried to stay calm, but worry etched her features. Finally, the mechanic approached them, wiping his hands on a rag."I'm sorry to inform you, ma'am," the mechanic said, his voice filled with genuine regret, "but there's a part missing that we need to fix your car. We don't have it in stock right now."Alisha's face fell. "Oh no... How long will it take to get the part?"The mechanic shook his head. "I'm not sure. It could be a couple of days before we can get it in and fix your car."Alisha sighed, rubbing her temples. "That's just great. What am I supposed to do now?"Kai, who had been quietly listening, spoke up. "Don't worry about it, Alisha. I'll drive you home myself."Alisha looked at him, relief washing over her. "Are you sure, Kai? It's pretty late, and I don’t want to inconvenie

Chapter 243Liam flickered his eyes open, his head pounding loudly. He couldn't quite remember anything and didn't know where he was.For a few moments, everything seemed blurred, and there was a beeping sound all around. He looked around and saw himself connected to the beeping machine and then realized he was in the hospital.He relaxed, and the memories began to come back to him. He checked his body and saw the slightly burnt and bruised areas that were covered. He felt pain for the first time.How long had he been passed out? He couldn't tell. He tried to call out to someone, but his voice was really low.After a few minutes, a nurse walked into the room carrying a tray. When she saw him, she quickly placed the tray on the table and called out his name, "Mr. Carter, you're awake!"Liam tried to speak, "How long... have I been out?"The nurse gestured for him to hold on and said, "Don't panic, Mr. Carter. You're alright. Let me get the doctor." She quickly rushed out to fetch the d

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
