All Chapters of Black Network: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Morning light hit the ocean below the cliffside balcony. Ichiro took a slow sip of his green tea, his face perfectly calm, almost warm.The Tokyo liaison stopped exactly three paces behind him. "I just got back from the South District, Boss. I bring Dominic Moretti's official reply."Ichiro didn't turn around. "Talk.""The bastard says he stays."Ichiro set his ceramic cup down with a soft, polite click. "Moretti is a very proud man," Ichiro said, a mild, hospitable smile touching his lips. "We should respect his dignity. Go purchase twenty black caskets, print the names of his top captains on the lids, and deliver them to his front lawn before dusk."The liaison froze, a drop of cold sweat hitting his collar. "Every single captain, Boss?""Every single one," Ichiro murmured, his voice gentle, almost affectionate. "And if Dominic refuses to clear his calendar for the funerals, cut the throat of the port supervisor we just bought. Let the city watch how quickly my investments expire. D

"Two in the morning, Boss," Hugo muttered, his eyes glued to the dark."The perimeter?" Dominic didn't turn his head. He was leaning against the steel cargo doors, watching the empty access road."Fifty heavy hitters in the main slot," Hugo replied, slapping a fresh magazine into his rifle. "Another forty on the catwalks. That harbor coordinator you squeezed actually delivered. The bastard brought heavy gear.""Valentina kept her word," Dominic scoffed, a vicious grin cutting the dark."They loaded armor-piercing rounds, Dom. They know these docks like their own bedrooms.""Kill the spotlights," Dominic commanded. "Let the dogs walk right into the trap."Headlights blinded the pier.A dozen blacked-out SUVs tore onto the concrete, high-beams cutting through the downpour. The doors flew open. Dozens of shooters stepped into the rain—tactical vests, unbroken discipline, moving like a regular army. Ichiro vanguard formed a solid wall of iron straight across the asphalt.Dominic didn't fl

The headset crackled with static. Lina adjusted the earcups, her teeth grinding as the precinct wire came through."Trace that offshore route, Sophia," Lina barked. "Give me a name.""Tokyo," Sophia said, tapping the glass. "Deputy Chief Adam Leo just cleared three anonymous shell companies. Millions in dark money slammed into those accounts three days ago. The bastard is fully bought."Lina stared at the routing numbers, a vicious grin cutting her face. "Leo is Ichiro’s pet inside the precinct. The parasite is finally showing his face.""He’s screaming for the Victor evidence files right now," Sophia added."Let the son of a bitch beg," Lina replied coldly. "We’re about to feed him the exact poison he’s looking for."Across town, fluorescent lights hummed inside Internal Affairs. Deputy Chief Leo hovered over the metal desk, his tailored gray suit tight across his shoulders."Your time is up, Moss," Leo said, his voice flat. "Hand over the master encryption drive right now, or you le

The progress bar on the screen hit a hundred percent.Adam Leo leaned back, a slow grin cutting his face as the green light pulsed on his monitor. He picked up the burner phone and dialed."The package is in your server," Leo said, his voice flat."Got it," the Tokyo liaison replied through the static. "We're checking the file size now.""You've got everything," Leo cut him off, leaning over the desk. "Rachel Moss's entire operational blueprint. All the defense perimeters, the blind spots, and the coordinates to Dominic backdoors. It’s a funeral map.""This makes things a hell of a lot easier.""It wins you the war," Leo scoffed, spinning a pen. "I ripped that task force apart from the inside. I cleared the board for you. What else do you want?""The money hits your account by midnight."The line went dead. Leo tossed the receiver. He looked out the window at the skyline, adjusting his tie. As the head of IA, he owned this town. Moretti was done, and Leo was about to be a billionaire.

Dominic hustled through the damp service tunnel, wearing a grease-stained maintenance uniform and following the old map Alexei had shoved into his hands.The low rumble of gunfire vibrated through the ceiling. Upstairs, Hugo was turning the fourth-floor corridor into a warzone.Dominic hauled himself up the access ladder, slipping past the security sensors. Adam Leo was already looping the camera feeds to show nothing but static, keeping Rachel Moss’s defense line completely blind.Dominic pushed open the fire door, stepped into the hallway, and found Room 404. He slipped inside. The soundproof door clicked shut, muffling the gunfire to a dull thud.The green light from the monitors washed over the bed. The room smelled like formalin.Victor was propped up on the mattress. He ripped the oxygen mask off his face, letting it drop to his chest. The two rivals locked eyes in the dim light."You hear that racket outside?" Dominic said, walking over."Yeah. Sounds like Shinjiro is sending h
