JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 365
Chapter 365The crowd in the lobby erupted, chanting, “Fight! Fight! Fight!” as more people gathered, drawn to the commotion. Kai glanced around, his eyes narrowing as he took in the audience.The fierce-looking man puffed out his chest, emboldened by the chants and by the assumption that he’d have no trouble taking down someone like Kai.Sizing Kai up, the man grinned, rolling his shoulders and cracking his knuckles. He looked like he was ready to turn Kai into a pile of bruises. Kai, however, remained calm, his gaze steady and calculating. With a snarl, the man swung a wild punch at Kai, aiming straight for his jaw. But Kai moved with surprising speed, sidestepping the blow effortlessly. Before the man could react, Kai lifted his leg and delivered a brutal kick to the groin.The man’s face contorted in pain, and he staggered backward, clutching himself as gasps rippled through the crowd. People exchanged glances, the initial confidence in the big man's success quickly dissipating.

Chapter 366Back in his room, Kai locked the door, his mind already drifting to the task ahead.He glanced at the petite girl as she sat down on the edge of the chair, her posture tense, hands clasped nervously in her lap. She looked as though she might break into pieces if the wrong words were said.And It didn’t take a genius like kai Nakamura to see she was probably new to this line of work. Well, that’s her business, not mine, he thought, dismissing the idea.He checked his watch—still just past 8 PM. Two more hours to kill before he’d be heading out into the murky depths of Red Waters, the part of town where danger was a fact of life. The information he needed would be there, and he’d be ready.He was pulled from his thoughts when he felt a light touch on his shoulder. The girl had stood up, her movements hesitant yet intentional. She leaned in closer, her fingertips brushing his arm with a tentative softness as she attempted to meet his eyes. Her gaze was almost pleading, her li

Chapter 367After a long pause, Kai finally spoke again, his voice more casual this time. “You mentioned your mom is sick,” he said, his eyes steady on hers. “What exactly is wrong with her?”Lina hesitated for a moment, her fingers once again twining nervously in her lap. Her gaze fell to the floor, and for a long time, she didn’t speak, the weight of her words seemingly too heavy to carry. She took a deep breath, steadying herself before meeting Kai’s eyes again.“My father died when I was young,” she began, her voice quiet, but steady enough to tell her story. “He was a soldier. He was never really home. When he was around, it was for brief moments, and then… he was gone.” Her eyes flickered briefly with sorrow, but she quickly pushed the emotion down, focusing on her mother instead.She paused, unsure of how to explain. “After he died, my mother had to take care of everything. She was already struggling with her health before that. But she never stopped. She worked, doing whatever
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 368
Chapter 368It was around 10 p.m. when Kai and Lina stepped out of the hotel room. The quiet hum of the hotel lobby seemed to grow louder as they walked through it, and the chatter of the few remaining patrons began to swell.All eyes turned toward them as they moved across the floor. Some guests who had witnessed the earlier commotion, the fight between Kai and the fierce looking man, exchanged glances and whispers.They assumed they had just finished with their assumptions based on the earlier tension. The couple’s appearance in the lobby, with the air of quiet finality around them, made it clear what they thought had occurred. Whispers of “finished already?” and “how was it?” echoed through the room.The manager, Mr. Wibblebottom, was quick to notice them. His burly frame loomed large as he scurried across the lobby, a wide grin on his face. He moved with a sense of eagerness, his eyes glinting with a mixture of curiosity and business-minded anticipation.“How was the sex? Did she
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 369
Chapter 369Kai squeezed Lina’s hand, his grip firm but not comforting. He could sense the nervous energy radiating from her, the mix of anxiety and uncertainty that came with venturing into a dangerous part of town. He knew it was his mission tonight, but her presence complicated things. She was a distraction, but one that might also be useful, depending on how things went.Lina, still not quite sure where things stood between them, stayed close to him. Her steps were hesitant at first, but as they moved further into the dead of night, her pace quickened, as if the cold night air could erase some of the tension from the lobby.“I’m not going to let anything happen to you,” Kai said, his voice low as they walked side by side, the city’s shadows swallowing their figures. He didn’t look at her, but the words were meant for her, a reassurance he didn’t often offer.Lina nodded, though she still wasn’t sure if she could trust his words entirely. She had heard enough about the dangers of t
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 370
Chapter 370Every now and then, a flash of movement would catch Kai’s eye, only to disappear just as quickly, as if the very walls were alive with a silent, unseen threat.Dilapidated bars and grimy establishments lined the streets, each one exuding a faint, eerie glow from flickering neon signs.They bore names like “The Devil’s Flask” and “Hell’s Haven,” each establishment promising a night of vice and danger to those willing to take the risk.The windows were mostly blacked out or covered with metal bars, and only slivers of dim light seeped through, revealing shadowy figures hunched over tables or lurking by the doors. Music spilled out from some of the buildings, a strange blend of heavy bass and discordant tunes that added to the unsettling atmosphere, pulsing like the heartbeat of The Abyss itself.Every corner seemed to have its own assortment of figures—a group of rough-looking men leaned against a wall, their eyes following Kai and Lina with cold amusement; a pair of women i

Chapter 371As the moon rose above the horizon, casting a fair glow on the landscape, Williams, Kane, Tom, and the rugged man marked by deep scars made their way to the border crossing into Emerald Falls.The air was thick with anticipation as they approached the checkpoint, where the towering gates stood framed by lush greenery. Shadows danced around them as the trees swayed gently in the night breeze, adding an almost eerie quality to the atmosphere.Williams adjusted the straps of his backpack, his eyes scanning for any sign of trouble, while Kane exchanged a few wary glances with Tom, who was busy observing the scarred man.The scarred man's intense gaze hinted at a tumultuous past, an unsung story hidden behind his weathered exterior.The group's nerves were palpable as they prepared to step into the city of Emerald Falls. Instead of flying, Williams suggested they take a black SUV, which they used.As the black SUV sped along the main highway leading into Emerald Falls, Williams

Chapter 372He stepped outside the sleek, upscale lobby of Sky Suites and took a breath of the crisp Emerald Falls air before pulling out his phone. The city was so different from Red Waters—clean, modern, and strangely calm. But his focus was elsewhere. Dialing Mr. Sterling, he listened as the phone rang, already running through the plan in his mind.“Mr. Sterling,” Williams said, his voice low but confident, “just got in from Red Waters. I’m ready to help you get your son back. And we’re doing this without giving those kidnappers a cent.”On the other end, Mr. Sterling’s voice rose with immediate relief and excitement. “Williams! It’s good to hear your voice,” he said, sounding almost buoyant. “I can’t tell you how much I’ve needed to hear from you. They’ve been calling, every day, every hour—threatening my son’s life, making demands. But knowing you’re here… that changes things.”“Indeed it does,” Williams said.“So, what's the plan? How are we going to outsmart them?” Mr. Sterling

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
