Chapter 61

Jackson's POVI looked at the email notification that blinked on my encrypted screen—a letter from a overseas author at a European agency. My pulse beat faster as I opened it. The letter was brief, but its words sent shivers down my spine: there was increasing evidence to suggest that the sabotage of Bhutan was not a one-off. It was plotted by a influential, shadowy network with influence in multiple countries.I took a deep breath and dialed my safe line to catch a call with Ingrid in Frankfurt, a person I knew who had good information. As the connection clicked on, I told her, "Ingrid, it's Jackson. I need your latest opinion on the latest news about the consortium."Her level voice came over, "Jackson, I've been following some big-time financial transfers, and there's a pattern building that suggests a concerted effort. The numbers, the timing—they all yell that this is no anomaly."I grabbed my notebook, writing down points as she spoke. "What kind of pattern are we seeing?"In br

Chapter 62

Kylie's POVI sat in my private meeting room, a hidden space in our headquarters, and watched as the scrambled video connection reached out to worldwide partners from around the world. Today was do or die—I had arranged a covert meeting with our most trusted global partners to form an integrated alliance against the rival consortium. My heart pounded, but I knew this was one move to help save Bhutan.I coughed and went on, "Good morning, all. Thank you for coming at short notice. I know we are all under tremendous pressure, but our cooperation is more crucial than ever. We meet today to build a world union against an extremely real menace."The people on my screen were of diverse cultures and jurisprudence. There was Ingrid in Frankfurt, Alessandro in Milan, Mei Ling in Singapore, and Rajiv in Mumbai. They all had their own accent, own sets of laws, and different viewpoints—and each one was a pillar in the battle against the consortium.Ingrid was the first to speak, her tone calm and

Chapter 63

James's POVI journeyed to Frankfurt with a purpose.a quest to dig deeper into the money center that had become the hub of rumor and off-the-record talk. Movement thrummed in the atmosphere at the central station, and I strode with purposeful resolve. Our opponent was not acting alone, I was sure. Rumor had led me thus far, and I was determined to uncover secret links between movers and shakers and consortium members.I checked into a modest hotel on the edge of the financial district, and then I set off with my locked phone. I had one definite strategy: attempt to blend in, stay on the beaten path, and pick up any on-the-record interview cautiously. I had arranged a sit-down with one of my reliable sources, a low-key journalist by the name of Lars who wrote about financial scandal. There were whispers of clandestine meetings between high-ups and consortium officials, Lars told me. I may be able to dig up these secret links if I could get closer.Lars met me in a dingy, backstreet caf

Chapter 64

Jackson’s POVI sat in my quiet office at headquarters, the only light coming from the softly humming server rack and my computer screen. I had been tracking a series of suspicious wire transfers for days now, and something told me that the true financial backbone of the conspiracy was waiting to be uncovered. My focus was absolute; every transfer, every account, was a potential clue.I opened the secure database and began my investigation. “Let’s see where these threads lead,” I murmured, rubbing my temples. The screen displayed a series of offshore accounts, interlinked through a maze of corporate shell companies. One account, in particular, caught my eye—a conduit that seemed to relay funds from a well-known foreign country. I typed in a series of commands to pull up the transaction history.Almost immediately, a list of large transfers appeared. The amounts were astronomical, each transfer carefully time-stamped and routed through multiple intermediaries. I leaned forward, eyes na

Chapter 65

Kylie's POVI was in my office late one afternoon, working, when the tip arrived—a secret message from one of our external sources. I nearly spilled my coffee cup as I read the message: an international investors' secret summit was being called. The summit was not another industry conference; it was secret, open to only a very select few. There were rumors that these investors were the masterminds behind those groups that undermined the stability of Bhutan. I shivered.I called my Chief of Strategy, Elena. "Elena, I need a meeting now in my office. It's about an underground meeting of international investors."In minutes, Elena was in my office, her eyes narrowed. "Kylie, what's wrong? You're tense.".I leaned forward, not in the least reluctant. "I've just received word of a summit that no one's publicly listed. It's by invitation only, for the crème de la crème of foreign investors, and I believe they're being courted by our enemies—by the other consortium to undermine us from the i

Chapter 66

James's POVI leaned back in the busy corner of the exclusive meeting room at the conference, going out of my way to keep up my cover. The room was dark, lighted only by the gentle glint of a few strategically-placed lamps. Top investors and business giants moved in quiet clusters around me. I'd been undercover here nearly two days now, and what I'd heard was now shaping up to be so much hotter than I could ever have imagined.I had introduced myself as a consultant seeking general market strategy, an experienced individual to advise on corporate mergers. During the last day, my subtle conversation with some of the participants had already begun to say something ominous. During one of the discussions with an illustrious investment strategist—I shall refer to him as Mr. S—I had discovered that the consortium was gearing up to make its ultimate push: a concomitant bid to acquire control of leading companies across various industries. And Bhutan was among them.My heart pounded inside me

Chapter 67

Jackson's POVI was back at my desk at headquarters in Bhutan, the hum of computers and soft pecks of keyboards sounding almost hypnotic. The trail of our recent operations placed me on high alert. Every intercepted message, every new anomaly in the electronic trail, made me more confident that our opponent was active. I realized we had to act fast; time was crucial.I opened the monitoring program and issued commands, cranking up our online watchfulness on all things offshore and in-house messages. "Come on, give me something," I muttered as I waded through a maze of jumbled logs and financial data. My fingers danced across the keyboard as I applied filters that would flag any out-of-pattern activity.My phone buzzed with a secure text from Mia: "Jackson, increased activity noted on channel B-21. Suspect hostile maneuver. Please consult." I scowled. This could be the cue I'd been waiting for.I quickly grabbed the secure conference button and called Marcus, our lead on financial surv

Chapter 68

Kylie's POVI lingered late last night in the dimly lit conference room, my inner circle of people gathered around the long table. The atmosphere was heavy with fatigue and concern—each of us weighed down by recent double-crosses and the increasing unease of an enemy whose power seemed to seep into every facet of our lives. I looked at the sheets of paper laid out on the table, the confidential reports, coded messages, and in-house memos that talked of a grand conspiracy.I swallowed hard and began, "Thanks for coming on such short notice. We all understand what has brought us here." I paused to meet the eye of each trusted counsel as I fought to hold back the storm of emotions. "We stand at a crossroads. Our most recent intelligence has given us a glimpse at the enemy's strength, and now we must decide what to do.".My chief security officer, Mark, was the one to break the silence. "Kylie, it appears that the case is mounting. But there's still much that we don't understand. I think

Chapter 69

James's POVI came back to headquarters with racing heart and a folder of fresh information clutched tightly in my hand. The trip had been long, but I knew I couldn't let go of any lead. Today, I was meeting an unexpected surprise—a former competitor turned informant. His name had been unfamiliar to me for months, and now this meeting could be the one to unleash even deeper depths of the conspiracy.I made my way to a secure, nameless meeting room set up at a distant location outside the city. I had been told discretion was essential, so I had chosen a middle ground where words would not be overheard. I sat in a small, round table, fingers drumming softly as I waited for my contact. My phone buzzed with a secure text: "I'm here. Name's Victor.". Find me in the blue jacket."The door had opened quietly a minute after that. A man in a blue jacket came in. His eyes were etched with experience and his face a combination of cautious resolve. He sat down opposite me."James, I'm Victor," he

Chapter 70

Jackson’s POVI sat at my workstation in our high-security operations room, staring at a series of fragmented data points on the screen. Hours earlier, I’d received a message from our whistleblower—a former competitor turned informant—detailing a hidden network of shell companies. His information had been cryptic at first, but now I had my own intercepted data to cross-reference. I could feel the intensity of what was unfolding. This was the moment we had been waiting for.I opened up our encryption software and loaded the whistleblower’s dossier alongside our collection of intercepted messages. The screens filled with numbers, transaction logs, and coded references. I murmured to myself, “Let’s see if the pieces align.”Almost immediately, a familiar code, “BX-47,” started to reappear alongside new strings. My pulse quickened as I recognized that the shell company names and money transfers mentioned in the whistleblower’s file were showing up in our intercepted data too. I turned to
