Nate sat in his team’s headquarters, a hidden room far from public view. In front of him were scattered various documents, flash drives, and CCTV recordings—all evidence they had taken from Armand Kessler. These pieces of evidence not only revealed numerous illegal transactions but also implicated Morgan Ramsey in a grand conspiracy that threatened the city of London.

Nate clutched a flash drive, examining it closely. "This is enough to charge Morgan with multiple criminal offenses," he thought, though he knew the game wasn't over yet. Morgan was too smart and cunning to be caught easily. But Nate had a bigger plan. He didn’t just want to hand over this evidence to the authorities.
