All Chapters of Mr. William's Rules: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

The rain had slowed to a mist by the time the convoy reached the secondary safehouse. The building was an old textile factory, its windows boarded, its walls thick enough to mute the outside world. William stepped out first, scanning the perimeter with the caution of a man who trusted nothing. Adrian followed, pulling Justin from the SUV with a firm grip, while Lily slipped out quietly, eyes already scanning for danger.Inside, the factory had been converted into a temporary operations hub. A few of William’s men worked at makeshift desks, analyzing intercepted communications and satellite imagery. Lily removed her damp coat, hanging it on a rusted hook by the door, but her mind was far from rest.William gestured for Justin to sit at a metal table under the harsh light of a single lamp. “You’re going to tell us everything,” William said, his voice low but unyielding. “And if I even think you’re holding something back, you’ll regret it.”Justin nodded quickly, his hands trembling as h

The SUV roared through the rain-slicked streets, tires hissing against the asphalt. Inside, tension coiled tight. William sat still, one hand resting lightly on his knee, the other gripping the small drive Victor had surrendered. Lily sat beside him, gaze fixed on the city rushing by, but her mind was on the data they’d just risked everything for.Adrian’s voice cut through the hum of the engine. “Sir, safehouse Bravo is prepared. I’ve instructed the tech team to be ready to extract and analyze the data as soon as we arrive.”“Good,” William said simply, his voice calm but edged with focus. “Increase security. Leonard will already know something’s missing.”Lily shifted slightly, leaning closer to William so only he could hear. “Do you think Victor told the truth?”William’s eyes stayed on the road ahead. “He told enough of it. I’ll verify before we act.”Adrian glanced at the rearview mirror, studying them briefly before turning his attention back to the street. The convoy turned sha

The warehouse on the outskirts of the city loomed like a fortress of rust and shadows. William stood with Adrian near a dimly lit table strewn with surveillance photos, maps, and scribbled notes. The air smelled faintly of oil and rainwater seeping through the cracked roof.Sofia entered quietly, a slim tablet in her hand, her dark hair pulled back tight. “Sir,” she said softly, coming to William’s side. “We just intercepted another coded message from Leonard’s men. They’re accelerating their schedule. Whatever they’re planning, it’s happening within twenty‑four hours.”William’s jaw clenched. “Show me.”She handed him the tablet. Adrian stepped closer, scanning the scrambled text and the highlighted locations Sofia had marked. His brows drew together. “They’re shifting their assets toward the southern docks,” Adrian muttered. “That’s where the containers disappear without a trace.”Lily, leaning against a support beam, had been listening quietly. She crossed her arms, her expression

The hours crawled by in the dim, windowless room. Lily sat hunched on the cold floor now, her wrists raw from working against the ropes. Every sound outside the door made her heart race, but not with fear—with calculation. She studied the rhythm of footsteps, the way voices drifted in and out. Leonard’s men were organized, but they weren’t expecting resistance from their captive.Her mind replayed the images from the papers she’d managed to steal. There were shipment codes, a schedule, even a sketched diagram of a secondary route—Leonard’s contingency plan. If I can get this out, she thought fiercely, William will have exactly what he needs.The door scraped open suddenly, flooding the room with harsh light. Two men entered, one carrying a tray of food, the other standing guard with a rifle slung over his chest.“You should eat,” the man with the tray said, smirking. “You’ll need your strength when Leonard decides what to do with you.”Lily’s gaze didn’t waver. “Tell him I said hello,

Back at the safehouse, the rain had finally eased, leaving the night air heavy and cool. The SUV screeched to a stop inside the courtyard. William was out first, pulling open the rear door for Lily, his hand steadying her as if he couldn’t bear to let go yet.Adrian stayed behind long enough to sweep the perimeter with his weapon before following them inside. Sofia strode ahead, already speaking into her comms, her sharp eyes scanning the shadows.Inside the operations room, the tech team scrambled to clear the table as William spread out the crumpled paper Lily had recovered. Under bright lights, the messy handwriting and coded notations came alive.Adrian whistled low. “Sir, this is… this is everything. Routes, offshore contacts, even bribe accounts.”Lily sat in the corner, wrapping her bruised wrists in gauze. Her face was pale, but her chin was high. She caught William’s gaze briefly and managed a small smile. “Told you I wouldn’t come back empty‑handed.”William stepped closer,
