VALERIA After the meeting had ended, the office felt quieter. Those men had left satisfied. Their shipment would move through my ports in three days. Another clean business deal on paper. Another dirty one in reality. I closed the files on my desk and leaned back in my chair. Some people believed that power came only from violence. That’s where they all got it wrong. It didn’t come from violence. Power came from systems. From networks, from making illegal things look perfectly legal.

While he stood talking to some federal judges about land reform, Mason had already crossed the floor and struck up a conversation with her. “She’s not here for show,” he had said later over bourbon. “She’s here because she’s out of options. She needs help.” Adler didn't need more explanation. Power could fill gaps where justice failed. He made the plain offer through Mason quietly.And when she finally called, her voice sealed it with just two words, “I’m in.” She sounded cool and decisive but beneath those two words, he caught the tremor of desperation. She wanted answers; he wanted a good political image. Nothing more, nothing less.

Dean’s POV I happily whistled, a large bath towel wrapped around my waist, walking into my closet to decide what to wear. My cell phone rings, and it’s my friend and partner, Franklin, who thinks he’s my conscience, trying to help me see wrong from right. But I always came back with a good defense for my actions. “I’m the CEO of a multi-billion-dollar technology company, Franklin. Is it so wrong for me to want to expand or get on the ground floor of the new and upcoming technology AI?”

When Broderick and Amy got inside his car, Amy asked him,"how did you escape the prison?" "A powerful man is not just someone who is the richest person, a powerful man is the most mysterious man. Michael thinks he's powerful cause he owns my company, that's not how power works. You need to will power by reason of your influence. Being a powerful man is not even a position that can be inherited, power is not a throne, it's a force," Broderick said.

Theodore invited me to meet him at a restaurant at seven on Saturday night. That was enough to shock the entire family, then they became worried. Theodore held enormous influence and power in Harbor City, and his temper was even harder to predict. Someone had once said the wrong thing in front of him and Theodore had bankrupted him for it. As for me, I was so oblivious that even if someone held a knife to my throat, I would still grin and say, "That knife looks so real!"

I chewed on my lip again, “our world is already heavily dominated by men in power.” ‘So you wish to change the world?’ there was a sense of awe in her words. ‘Wouldn’t it be easier to just show yourself and make them all worship you? It’s been done before.’ “Nothing worthwhile was ever easy.” I shrugged, echoing the words of my aunt from my childhood any time I wanted to quit something. “First I have to avoid starting a war, and then I can try to change the world for the better.” “We,” Dmitri corrected, giving me a gentle squeeze, “You’re not alone in this.”

“Because once you cross that line, you do not get to pretend things can go back to normal.” Dante sat up too, his bare feet hitting the floor. “Normal was an illusion,” he said. “I just did not know it yet.” He stood and walked to the window, pushing the curtain aside. The city was already awake, cars moving, people rushing into lives that felt simple compared to the mess unraveling inside his chest. “My uncle taught me everything about power,” he continued. “He always said information is currency. Control what people know, and you control what they do.”

MEANWHILE LAWRENCE'S HEADQUARTERS Jordan's dark pair of ocean eyes were strictly focused on some documents as he worked busily being isolated in his office. His chocolate brown pigmented hair were messy but it charmed him more while his professional attire screamed extreme richness. Jordan Lawrence was no easy man after all. His every second was money making him intimidatingly the most powerful man in the world business. He was the best known tycoon in the entire continent. Also be called as the godfather of the entertainment industry who had his every possible reach over the numbers of platforms in multimedia resources.

Some of the elders blinked. "It's from The 48 Laws of Power," I said, smirking. "You want to stop spies? Cut off the source. Track their patterns, set them up, and when they slip up—take them out. Simple." "How would we find the source?" another elder asked, clearly skeptical but listening now. I stared at him. "Capture a rogue alive, duh." Levi let out a soft laugh, and I saw that look on his face again—like he was trying not to puff up with pride.
