Chapter 15 - The Corporate War
Vance knew that storming a billionaire’s fortified penthouse with armed guards would end in a bloody shootout.
He needed to draw Grant out into the open, stripping away his armor of wealth and power.
Vance returned to his office at 3:00 AM, summoning his entire board of directors and legal team for an emergency summit.
He ordered his financial division to instantly liquidate billions of dollars in Callahan Biotech assets.
His board members screamed in protest, warning him that this reckless move would temporarily crash their own stock.
Vance ignored them, unleashing a catastrophic, hostile financial attack on the Ellison Real Estate empire.

Within two hours, the global markets opened, and Ellison Real Estate’s stock went into an absolute, apocalyptic freefall.
Vance sat in his leather chair, watching the news channels erupt with breaking coverage of Grant’s massive criminal indictment.
At exactly 5:30 AM, Vance’s secure private line began to ring.
It was Grant, his voice shaking with a terrifying, unhinged fury.
Grant demanded that Vance call off the federal agents swarming the lobby of his penthouse building.
Vance leaned back in his chair, his voice echoing with lethal, icy authority.

Grant laughed hysterically, revealing that he had rigged the penthouse doors with explosives.
