Dominic sat on the floor, teeth gritted as he pulled his bootlace tight using his good hand and his teeth.

"The name," Lina said. She sat on the edge of the pew, rubbing her numb toes. "It’s in the ledger three times."

"We talked about the name," Dominic grunted.

"We talked about what it means. We didn't talk about how to prove it." Lina looked toward the altar. "Your lawyer, Ella Khan. She built the walls, didn't she? She’s the one who knows who’s behind the alias."

"Ella’s smart. She doesn't

    "Goddamn it," Lina spat, slamming her hands onto the edge of the desk. "It's gone. A total dead end."Dominic stood by the reinforced glass window, a cigarette burning down between his fingers. He turned around slowly, his face dark. "What the hell are we looking at, Lina?""Vanguard Cement Company," Lina pointed a sharp fingernail at the glowing display. "I tried to trace the holding company that signed the deed, but the trail is stone-cold.""Give me a name," Dominic commanded, walking over."I don't have a name, Dom!" Lina pushed her rolling chair back with a harsh scrape. "The corporate registry points to some fake shell entity in Panama. The routing numbers just vanish into thin air. Someone erased the damn tracks."Sophia sat at the adjacent metal desk, dropping her pen onto a stack of files with a heavy sigh. "I ran the secondary checks on their backup servers, Dom. Usually, these offshore accounts leave some kind of digital exhaust. Money always leaves a footprint, no matter h

    The dense scent of ocean salt mixed with the bitter smell of burning metal as seagulls screamed over the choppy harbor water.Ivan flipped up his scratched welding mask, while Yuri wiped gray sweat from his forehead with the back of a greasy hand.Alexei sat heavily on a wooden crate, rolling his stiff shoulders. His steel-toed boots were caked in dry dirt, resting flat on the damp asphalt.A sleek silver sedan glided smoothly to a halt near the loading bay, its low-profile tires crunching softly against the gravel. A man stepped out of the vehicle, his designer shoes gleamed in the afternoon sun as he carried a slim, expensive leather briefcase past the rust-covered shipping containers and stepped straight into the Iron Anchor breakroom.The machinery hummed loudly outside, but inside the room, the dockworkers stopped moving, their eyes locking onto the intruder.The man stopped right in the middle of the concrete floor, brushing a speck of dust off his lapel."Who the hell are you?"

    The heavy steel elevator doors slid open with a soft, mechanical hiss.Ichiro stepped onto the polished black marble floor, Madame Cleo walked right beside him, her tailored charcoal suit pressed perfectly, her eyes sharp behind her designer glasses.They entered a massive, open-floor server room. Rows of black server racks lined the reinforced concrete walls, and dozens of glowing glass monitors covered the massive steel tables in the center."The whole floor is yours, Cleo," Ichiro said, his voice a low rasp. "Nobody comes up here but you."Cleo ran a long fingernail along the edge of the central monitor, watching the green lines of code scroll down the screen. "The hardware is perfect. It matches my specs exactly.""I gave you the tools," Ichiro answered, leaning heavily on his gold-handled cane. "Now I want you to go take my city back."Cleo slid into the heavy leather chair at the main terminal, her fingers resting lightly over the mechanical keyboard. "So where do we start, Ichi

    The buzzing neon sign outside the vacant diner flashed a violent red, casting bloody streaks across the rain-slicked glass windows.Moss sat alone in the corner booth, staring blankly down into the stone-cold black coffee in her ceramic mug. The diner door suddenly swung open, the rusty little bell chiming once over the downpour.Director Gabe walked across the checkered floor, his heavy boots squeaking against the linoleum. He didn't take off his tailored trench coat as he slid into the vinyl seat directly opposite her."Drink your coffee, Moss. Sit up," Gabe said, his voice carrying the flat, brutal authority of a man who owned the department.Moss didn't move her head, her thumbnail tracing a chip on the rim of her mug. "The guy is dead, Moss. It's over," Gabe stated coldly, leaning over the table. "But the rest of the scum are still moving. The detention center just let Kenji out of the lockup today. He's already back on the street."Moss slammed her hand down on the laminate woo

    The heavy front doors of the family villa swung shut behind Kenji with a hollow, echoing thud.He walked through the marble entryway alone, his wet shoes leaving faint, dark prints on the polished floor. The house felt too quiet, too clean, like it had kept moving on without him while he rotted in a cell.Kenji found his way into the study, dropping heavily into a leather armchair. He loosened his collar with stiff fingers, staring at the empty fireplace.A young guard named Tomas stood near the doorway, his hands folded behind his back."Tomas," Kenji called out, his voice tight. "Get the car ready. I want eyes on the East Pier by tonight. I want to know every truck that moves in or out."Tomas didn't move right away. He glanced toward the hallway, as if checking for someone before answering."Mr. Takahashi," Tomas said carefully, "Ichiro-sama already has men posted on the East Pier. Surveillance is already running."Kenji's jaw tightened. "I didn't ask what my brother's doing. I ask

    Valentina tightened her jaw, her eyes widening slightly."By the time you get out of this cage," Dominic pointed a thick, calloused finger right at the glass, "you're gonna walk into an empire you won't even recognize. This family is gonna own the sky."Dominic stood up straight, not waiting for her to answer, and calmly buttoned his suit jacket."We're done here," Dominic said.He slammed the black receiver back onto the metal hook with a loud clack.Valentina sat frozen, watching him turn his back on her. Dominic walked straight toward the heavy steel exit. Valentina kept her receiver pressed tight against her ear for a few seconds longer, listening to the loud, empty buzz of the dial tone. She reached out, her fingers tracing the deep scratches on the partition wall. Kenji stepped out onto the rain-slicked pavement, his wrinkled suit hanging loose on his thin frame. Freezing water immediately soaked through his expensive leather shoes. Shinjiro was leaning against the back door,

    Lina cut through the crowd, her emerald dress rustling like a warning. She found Leonard Howard in a back booth, half-buried in the shadows. The executive looked like he’d been dragged through a hedge; his tie was a noose, and a film of sweat made his forehead shine."Leonard," Lina said, sliding i

    The quartet shifted into a sharp, jagged rhythm. Dominic’s hand stayed glued to the small of Lina’s back—not a caress, but a leash. He was anchoring her, steering her through the sea of tuxedos like a prize he'd just claimed."Chin up," Dominic murmured, his jaw barely moving. "I’m looking at the

    Marco’s fingers rummaged through the silk lining of his coat. "Bingo." Sophia stood barefoot on the grit. Her fingers closed around the textured grip of the brass handgun. It was a cold, dead weight that promised a different kind of ending. She wrapped both hands around it and thumbed the safety.

    Valentina Moretti descended the final steps. The room was a concrete ribcage lined with acoustic foam, designed to swallow sound and secrets. In the center, a single stainless steel table held a hard-wired, encrypted phone. She didn't bother with the lights; the phone’s display cast a sickly blue g
