All Chapters of Sold To The Scarred King: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

The following morning, the first name on Cassian's list was everywhere. News channels broadcasted the same breaking headline while online newspapers published leaked financial records, and journalists crowded outside the headquarters of one of the country's most powerful investment firms.BILLIONAIRE INVESTOR UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR SECRET AEGIS FUNDINGCassian watched the coverage from the back seat of his car. He felt no satisfaction. The man whose face filled the screen was Victor Harlan, a billionaire investor who had spent decades building a reputation as a generous philanthropist. He funded children's hospitals, donated to universities, and regularly appeared at charity galas beside politicians who praised his generosity. He had also financed Aegis.For years, Harlan's money had kept the project alive. He had received reports about the experiments, approved payments to private clinics, and continued funding the operation after learning that several test subjects had died. Now, t

Tony placed three photographs on the desk."Two men followed your driver from the hospital yesterday.”Cassian glanced at the photographs. "And the man at the checkpoint?""He claimed he had an appointment with you but had a forged identification card and a weapon hidden beneath his jacket.""Did he say who sent him?""He hasn't said anything useful yet." Tony studied him. "Sir, this is no longer just an attempt to frighten you. They're trying to learn how close they can get.""Then change the security arrangements and make sure the hospital has additional protection.""Already done.""Anything else?"Tony hesitated. "The legal team has identified the company behind the payments to the men we detained. It belongs to a private security group that worked with Aegis.""Add it to the evidence package.""We have a problem. They're denying any knowledge of the attack on your father.""Then find the contracts they signed. Find the payment records and the communications that explain what they

The room was quiet except for the steady beeping of the monitors. Elara lay motionless beneath the white hospital sheets, her strawberry-blonde hair spread across the pillow. The bruises on her face had begun to fade, but she still hadn't opened her eyes.Every morning, the nurses checked her vital signs, adjusted her pillows, and spoke to her even though she could not answer. The doctors examined her regularly, monitoring both her condition and the baby growing inside her.He visited every day, often arriving before sunrise and leaving long after the hospital corridors had grown quiet. Sometimes he sat beside Elara and held her hand. Other times, he stood behind the glass, watching her when doctors needed privacy to examine her.The nurses had grown accustomed to him. They had seen how his expression changed whenever he entered the room. The ruthless billionaire who made powerful men tremble would become strangely quiet beside his unconscious wife.He spoke to her about everything an

The last time Cassian Rooke entered Helix, he had been a prisoner. This time, he returned as the man to destroy it. Black vehicles stopped outside the facility shortly after midnight. Security personnel moved into position while investigators and technical specialists prepared to secure the remaining servers and retrieve the evidence Cassian had uncovered. The compound looked different from the last time he had seen it, but Helix was not dead. Not yet. A section of the facility still operated on an independent power supply. The investigators discovered encrypted transmissions from its servers, suggesting someone inside continued accessing the system even after the main network was compromised. Cassian knew who that someone was. Vivienne. She would not surrender simply because the world had begun to close in around her. “Sir,” Tony said beside him, “the technical team has confirmed activity in the lower laboratory. The remaining system appears to be isolated from the main network

The ruins of Helix stood behind a security perimeter, surrounded by investigators, engineers, and emergency personnel. Cassian watched from the back seat of his car as workers carried sealed evidence containers away from the damaged facility. The search for Vivienne had been suspended until the structure could be stabilized. No one had confirmed her death officially, but the chances of finding her alive were almost nonexistent. He had spent the previous night in the hospital receiving treatment for his injuries and exhaustion. The doctors had wanted to keep him under observation, but he had insisted on returning to the site once he was stable enough. There was still work to do. Helix had been destroyed, but that did not mean Aegis was finished, not while its research existed in recoverable systems. “Sir,” Tony said from the front seat, “the investigators are ready for you.” Cassian opened the door and stepped out carefully, leaning on his cane. “Let's finish this.” The surviving
