One of Sasha's men burst into the room, his face pale and his breathing labored, as he found the two bodies. "Boss, what happened?" he gasped.
Sasha, who was seated on the bed, looked up with an icy stare. "What took you so long?"
“I'm sorry, Boss. I went to deliver the package to Boris.”
There was a brief pause and then he continued. "Scarface," he stammered, pointing to the lifeless b

Chapter 668: The Prince’s Compromise
Chapter 668: The Prince’s CompromiseThe morning of Wednesday, April 1st, brought a heavy, grey fog to the windows of James’s Private Residence. At 9:00 AM, the city below was swallowed by the mist, but inside the minimalist living room, the clarity was absolute. The air was still, save for the quiet hum of a security monitor in the corner.James Wane sat in a high-backed leather chair, a cup of black coffee cooling on the table beside him. Across from him sat Eric, his loyal strategist and the man currently holding the title of CEO at EMC. Standing by the fireplace was Gregor, his arms crossed, his eyes never leaving the doorway. This was the inner circle—the only three men who knew the full weight of the mask James had been wearing.James leaned forward, his voice calm but resonant. "I’ve spent the night weighing Liam Carter’s ultimatum against Jonathan Princeton’s advice. Liam wants the crown of EMC in exchange for his silence. Jonathan wants me to let the fire go and find a life b
Chapter 667: The Crossing
Chapter 667: The CrossingThe air at the US-Mexico Border was not the humid warmth of the city, but a bone-chilling, dry cold that bit through fabric. The only sounds were the low whistle of the wind through the scrub brush and the crunch of boots on sun-baked dirt.Williams Jesse stood in the shadows of a jagged rock formation, his breathing heavy but controlled. Beside him stood the facilitator, a man whose face was nothing more than a silhouette under a low-brimmed hat. They had abandoned their vehicle miles back, trekking through a remote section of the desert where the map showed nothing but empty space."This is the spot," the facilitator whispered, pointing toward a distant, dark line that cut across the horizon. "The Border Patrol sensors are weak here because of the mineral deposits in the hills. We have a ninety-minute window before the next overhead sweep. If we move now, we’re ghosts."Williams adjusted the straps of his black backpack. Inside was the remains of his life:
Chapter 666: The Candidate’s Counsel
Chapter 666: The Candidate’s CounselThe night of Tuesday, March 31st, brought a quiet stillness to the Princeton Campaign Headquarters. At 7:00 PM, the bustling energy of the campaign staff had dimmed to a low hum in the outer offices. Inside the private conference room, the air was warm and smelled of expensive leather and old books. Jonathan Princeton sat at the head of the table, his sleeves rolled up and his tie loosened. He looked every bit the statesman, but his eyes were sharp and focused on the man sitting across from him.James Wane—still wearing the tailored suit of the EMC executive—looked tired. He had spent the last four hours replayng the conversation at the Riverside Hotel in his mind. He had laid the "Legacy" folder on the table between them, letting the photograph of his younger self stare up at the man who might soon be the most powerful person in the country."So," Jonathan said, his voice deep and resonant. "Liam Carter has finally played his hand. He’s a shark, J
Chapter 665: The Hand of the King
Chapter 665: The Hand of the KingThe private room at the Riverside Hotel was a space of heavy velvet curtains and polished oak. The room was silent, isolated from the hum of the city outside.Liam Carter was already there. He stood by the window, his silhouette sharp against the glass. When the door opened and James Wane—still known to the world as James Clarkson—stepped inside, Liam turned with a measured smile. He didn't look like a man about to commit blackmail; he looked like a partner welcoming a friend."James," Liam said, extending his hand professionally. "Thank you for coming on such short notice. I know the atmosphere at the office is... heavy."James took the hand, his grip firm and steady. "It’s a complicated time for everyone, Liam. I assumed your request was urgent."They sat across from each other at a small circular table. There were no assistants, no lawyers, and no recording devices visible. For a moment, they simply looked at one another—two titans of industry play
Chapter 664: The Invitation to the Table
Chapter 664: The Invitation to the TableThe morning of Tuesday, March 31st, broke over Emerald Falls with a cold, pale light. At 8:00 AM, the glass towers of the city center were reflected in the dark waters of the river. Inside the EMC Building, the atmosphere was frantic. Security guards stood at every elevator, and the hushed whispers of employees filled the hallways. The news of the ESU raids and Williams’s sudden disappearance had turned the corporate headquarters into a hive of rumors.James Wane, still wearing the mask of James Clarkson, stepped into his executive office. He moved with a calm, measured stride that gave no hint of the storm brewing outside. He set his briefcase on the desk and sat down, his eyes immediately landing on a formal cream-colored envelope resting on his blotter.He opened it. The letter was brief, written on Liam Carter’s private stationery. It requested a private meeting for that afternoon to discuss "the future of EMC and matters of mutual interest
Chapter 663: The Ultimate Leverage
Chapter 663: The Ultimate LeverageThe wind whistled against the glass walls of Liam’s Penthouse, but inside, the air was still and heavy with the scent of expensive cigar smoke. Liam Carter stood by the window, looking down at the city he intended to conquer. He was waiting for the final piece of the puzzle to click into place.The elevator chimed, and Kai stepped out. He wasn't wearing his usual tactical gear; he was dressed in a sharp, dark suit, carrying a slim leather briefcase. He walked across the marble floor with the steady confidence of a man who had finally caught his prey."Do you have it?" Liam asked, not turning around."I have everything," Kai replied, setting the briefcase on the mahogany conference table. "The investigation is complete. There is no longer any room for doubt. The 'nobody' from the accounting department has finally been unmasked."Liam turned, his eyes flashing with a predatory light. He sat down at the table as Kai began to lay out a series of document
