Chapter 3 - The Broken Trust
Marcus was the man Adrian trusted with his life for over a decade.
Now, the head of security aimed his weapon directly at Adrian’s heart.
Marcus apologized coldly, stating that Charles simply paid a much higher salary.
Martha stepped in front of Adrian, shielding her son with her own fragile body.
She yelled at the armed man to leave her boy alone.
Marcus laughed and placed his finger firmly on the trigger.
Before he could fire, Adrian grabbed a heavy fire extinguisher from the wall.
He hurled the metal cylinder directly at the security chief’s head.
The heavy tank struck Marcus in the jaw, sending him crashing to the carpet.
Adrian tackled the man, disarming him quickly before he could recover.
He grabbed the rifle and pulled Martha toward his private office.
Adrian locked the heavy oak doors and activated his secret emergency terminal.
He bypassed the corrupted company servers to access the hidden financial ledgers.
Lines of encrypted data flooded the glowing computer screen.
Adrian stared in pure horror at the international shell companies listed before him.

It was the primary money-laundering front for the largest criminal cartel in North America.
