Chapter 6 - The Ultimate Betrayal
Uncle Robert stood up slowly from his VIP table, brushing imaginary dust off his expensive gray suit.
He was Arthur's younger brother, a man who had always lived bitterly in the shadow of the billionaire's massive success.
Evelyn stared at her brother-in-law in absolute, sheer horror, completely unable to process his horrific betrayal.
"You actually poisoned your own flesh and blood for money?" Evelyn screamed, her voice breaking with intense agony.
Robert simply sighed and adjusted his silk tie, showing absolutely no remorse for his incredibly wicked actions.
He casually snapped his fingers, and a dozen new, heavily armed men emerged completely from the kitchen doors.
These were Robert's own private mercenaries, and they vastly outnumbered David's small undercover tactical team.
The new mercenaries immediately surrounded David, forcefully disarming him and kicking him brutally to the marble floor.
Robert walked confidently onto the stage, completely ignoring his paralyzed brother lying helplessly at his feet.
He admitted that his massive, secret offshore gambling debts had finally caught up with him last month.
He had brilliantly hired Maya's cartel to wipe out Liam and Arthur so he could legally inherit the entire tech empire.
However, Robert had never actually intended to pay the cartel their promised two-billion-dollar fee.
He poisoned Arthur's glass himself to initiate the chaos early, perfectly planning to frame Maya for the entire massacre.
"You are all going to die today, and I will be the sole, grieving survivor of this terrible cartel attack," Robert laughed smoothly.
He pulled a small, highly advanced black remote control from his suit pocket, displaying a glowing red button.
"This building is entirely rigged with military-grade C4 explosives hidden deep within the foundational support columns," Robert revealed.
He explained that if Liam did not transfer the real funds to his account within ten minutes, he would detonate the entire hotel.
Liam clenched his fists violently, realizing his uncle had completely outsmarted his meticulous counter-trap.
Robert aggressively grabbed a terrified Evelyn by the arm and pointed his own pistol directly at her chest.
"Log into the real accounts right now, Liam, or your mother dies before the building even explodes," Robert commanded fiercely.
Liam had absolutely no other choice but to completely surrender to the monster who shared his blood.
He slowly nodded his head and asked for the digital tablet to begin the massive financial transfer.
Robert smiled victoriously and ordered one of his mercenaries to fetch a secure laptop from the back office.

As Robert briefly looked away to issue the command, Evelyn silently reached her hand completely into her dress pocket.
She firmly grasped the sharp, cold steel of the medical scalpel she had secretly stolen from the bridal suite earlier.
