The safehouse smelled of stale coffee and hot computer towers. Marvin was deep in a spreadsheet while Sophia tracked the data lines on her screen. Lina stood over the metal desk, tapping a pen against her notepad.

"We need to drag these vans into the light," Lina said, tapping the monitor. "We have the routing codes, but we need to show people where the tech is dropping."

Marvin paused, looking up. "The online pieces are hitting hard, Lina. The street is talking."

    The safehouse smelled of stale coffee and hot computer towers. Marvin was deep in a spreadsheet while Sophia tracked the data lines on her screen. Lina stood over the metal desk, tapping a pen against her notepad."We need to drag these vans into the light," Lina said, tapping the monitor. "We have the routing codes, but we need to show people where the tech is dropping."Marvin paused, looking up. "The online pieces are hitting hard, Lina. The street is talking.""It's not enough," Lina said, shaking her head. "We need the people with the checkbooks. We're going to set up a private meeting downtown."Sophia turned her chair around. "Who are we inviting?""The big supply chain bosses and local business owners," Lina said, voice tight. "The guys who are still terrified of Shinjiro burning their assets down. They're sitting on the fence.""They're going to be hesitant to talk to us," Marvin noted, pulling up the secure contacts directory."Not when we show them Moretti's contracts," Lin

    "The crypto just cleared," Tanaka said, tapping the tablet screen. "The first batch of restricted tech is through. We're looking at a four hundred percent return on the initial buy."Kenji stood by the bar, scotch in hand. He walked to the desk, tracking the green charts. "The drivers said the back roads are clear. The vans are bypassing the highway scales entirely."Kenji set his glass down. "I just locked in three new buyers downtown. Private surgical clinics. They're buying every unlisted sedative we can drop.""Keep the drops small," Tanaka warned, leaning back. "Stay away from the main docks. We make our money in the dark."Shinjiro stood by the doors, hand resting on his sidearm. "The Vanguard guards are already on the routes. The vans are moving."Tanaka looked at the young commander. "Just make sure your boys keep their heads down. No shooting unless someone touches the cargo."Shinjiro growled under his breath but held his tongue."The Panama servers just processed the West D

    Tanaka sat behind the mahogany desk, neatly stacking the financial ledgers.Madame Cleo stepped up, sliding a tablet across the wood. "We're dumping the freight business. The remaining cash is going into unlisted pharmaceuticals, micro-tech, and high-grade weapon parts. No paper trail. No permits."Shinjiro pushed away from the doorframe, combat boots thudding against the rug. "So we're running from the Italians? Turning tail like beaten dogs?""We're making a profit, kid," Tanaka said, unbothered. "Let Moretti haul steel and concrete. Let him fight the unions and the regulators. We're gonna slip through the cracks and take the real money."The wall monitor chimed, flaring white as a Tokyo elder appeared on the screen. Kenji immediately lowered his head."We saw the numbers," the elder's voice crackled. "Tanaka stopped the bleeding. The internal fighting ends today."Kenji swallowed hard. "I built the network here, It takes time.""You broke the network," the elder snapped. "You and y

    Dominic stood by the railing, watching the long line of transport trucks moving layout. The volume was breaking records, and the logistics grid was running flawless. For the first time in weeks, his shoulders weren't carrying the weight.He turned to his enforcer. "Hugo. Shut down the dispatch lines at noon."Hugo blinked, confused. "Shut them down? We're redlining profit right now, boss.""Give the boys a half-day off," Dominic said, something rare and easy in his voice. "Fire up the pits. We're throwing a barbecue right on the asphalt. Let everyone roll their sleeves down and eat."By afternoon, the scent of charred meat and cheap beer filled the loading bays. Hundreds of dockworkers cheered, slamming crystal mugs together.Dominic stepped onto a flatbed trailer, looking down at the crowd. He caught Ivan and Yuri's eyes and signaled them over."Ivan. Yuri. Front and center," Dominic called out over the noise.The two men stepped up, chest out but breathing tight."The trust tried to

    The penthouse smelled of burnt espresso. Rain lashed against the floor-to-ceiling glass.Tanaka sat behind the mahogany desk, leaning back in the chair that used to belong to Kenji. Kenji stood stiffly by the window. Cleo stayed near the sofa.Tanaka popped his briefcase open and tossed a stack of red-lined charts down. "You're bleeding cash, Kenji. You got stuck in a stupid price war, and Moretti is eating your lunch.""I'm holding onto our clients," Kenji muttered."You're losing," Tanaka shot back, dropping his pen. "Tokyo wants a change, and they want it today. We're switching gears."Cleo stepped forward with her tablet. "What's the play then?""We stop chasing shipping lanes," Tanaka said, tracing a line on the wood. "We buy the regulators instead. We buy the guys who sign the permits. Let Moretti have the physical warehouses—we're gonna drown his trucks in red tape."Kenji turned around, face dark. "The local politicians are terrified of the feds right now. Moss is breathing do

    "Then buy the West District," Kenji barked, spinning around. "Every warehouse, every scrap of concrete. I don't care how small. Buy them all out tonight."Cleo tapped the screen, frowning. "They're gouging us. Property owners know we're backed into a corner. Prices are spiking fast.""Then pay the damn premium," Kenji snapped. "Tokyo is breathing down my neck after the Apex screw-up. They want ground, Cleo. Move the cash now.""We're burning through our reserves to do this," Cleo warned, dropping her voice."Let it burn," Kenji turned back to the window. "We set up the counter-network before Moretti locks down the south side, or we're dead."Warehouse schematics covered the desk inside the manor library. Dominic checked the layout, tapping his pen against the oak.Ella sat across the desk, sorting a stack of contracts. "Union files are officially locked in, Dominic. The Iron Anchor boys are clean.""Good," Dominic said. "The south side is anchored. We run the supply line now."Hugo st

    "Restroom," Lina said, her hand momentarily grazing Dominic’s sleeve.Dominic didn't look at her. He kept his eyes on the senator, his voice a cold blade. "Two minutes, Lina. If you aren't back, I’ll assume you’ve developed a sudden interest in the plumbing. You won't like the plumber I send to fin

    "Keep him flat!" Jake panted, his voice bouncing off the curved walls. "Don't let him roll. If he flips, he’ll drown in his own blood."Lina dropped to her knees in the muck, fumbling until she found Hugo’s broad, unmoving shoulders. She pinned him down. "He’s a ghost, Jake. He isn't even twitching

    Miller shoved the crime scene photos across the desk. Glossy bloodstains stared back at them."Look at this," Miller snapped. "Tell me what you see, Reed."Reed didn't blink. He picked up a shot of a dead pizza kid. "Moretti. He’s marking his territory with bodies now.""Marco took two blocks in fo

    The steel door screeched open. A guard stomped in, his face gray with exhaustion, and kicked an aluminum tray across the floor. The metal shrieked, hitting Victor’s bare feet with a dull thud."Eat," the guard barked.Victor didn't look at the slop. He looked at his watch. "Twenty minutes late. Tha
