CHAPTER 201The Fixer raised one hand in the air, then brushed off the shoulder of the messenger who stood protecting him from the front. "This is my guest. You can stop pointing a gun at him."The Fixer's messenger was a well-built man who was used to fighting. He had a dragon tattoo, and as it turned out, all men who worked for The Fixer would indeed have a dragon tattooed on their body as a condition of joining The Fixer.The Fixer laughed, he then took his cigar and said, "You can put your gun down now, Ace. My men won't shoot you."Ace thought for a moment before he slowly lowered the gun in his hand. Ace's brown eyes scanned in one motion, he saw that the base camp mentioned by Amanda was a warehouse filled with wooden boxes that Ace himself could not guess. He then looked at The Fixer again, who looked very relaxed in his large chair.Gray smoke filled the atmosphere between them due to The Fixer's cigar."What makes you dare to come to my place, Ace Blake?"Ace's eyebrows were

CHAPTER 202CHAPTER 202Ace leaves the warehouse that is The Fixer's second base camp. He had many hiding places to avoid the pursuit of the police and his enemies. The Fixer was the biggest informant in town. If someone wants to know something or get information, then that person must meet with The Fixer.He will give you answers to all your questions."Boss, are you okay?" The bodyguard named Matt immediately approached, he was the man with the dragon tattoo who was asked to step back by The Fixer. "He pulled a knife, it's very dangerous."But The Fixer looked relaxed. He put both hands in his pants pockets, then raised his face enthusiastically. Smiling broadly like the Joker, the underground informant replied to Matt by saying, "It's okay. It was a big surprise. I heard a lot of information. Do you think a million dollars would be enough for us to live on for a year?"Matt just shut up and looked down obediently without saying anything. He knew his boss was happy, and it would be

CHAPTER 203Selena looked in shock at the people lying lifeless before her. Her eyes would probably pop out of their sockets at the sight of so many corpses. Something in Selena's stomach couldn't be held back anymore, she was going to vomit!"HUEK!" The girl staggered backwards, before Selena finally managed to find a grip on the wall and brace her head that was spinning like a wheel. Selena looked at Ace in shock, this was a bad experience that was even worse than being bullied for years."W-what's just going on?"Selena's voice was probably too low for Ace who was being opened with something in the box. Selena's brown eyes scanned the surroundings. Bodies littered the floor, blood everywhere, none of them moving. Ace had literally killed them all in one fell swoop."What did you just do, Ace?"Ace finally noticed Selena's presence, he was too busy with Amanda's pile of cash. Ace searched the entire room and managed to find the m

CHAPTER 204Ace paused, looking at Selena. "I have my reasons, and let's just say this involves solving a personal problem. You, Selena, are my ticket to dismantling Amanda's web of deception."Their conversation was interrupted by the distant wail of sirens, signaling the arrival of the authorities. Time was running out, and Ace urged Selena to collect the money quickly. "We need to disappear before the law catches up with us. The Fixer won't be the only one looking for answers."As Selena stuffed the money into the bag, she couldn't help but feel a mixture of gratitude and uncertainty. Ace seemed like a complicated ally, but his words hinted at a common goal to escape the shadows of the past.With their bags filled, Ace and Selena walked towards the exit. Before leaving, Selena cast one last look at the mansion, now tainted by memories of betrayal and violence. The night promised a new beginning, but the journey ahead was fraught with uncertainty and the lingering shadows of their a

CHAPTER 205Nicholas was sitting in the back seat and it was making Noel unable to stop complaining. The man kept looking at the rearview mirror while protesting to the colleague who was now his own boss. "Can you stop acting like a boss?"The man with the last name Gray looked up, he took his eyes off the phone screen and looked at Noel who was sitting in the driver's seat with the most annoying smile Noel had ever seen. "Do you have a problem with this? I'm now a Chief, you should respect me."Noel rolled his eyes lazily and deliberately stepped on the gas pedal to make Nicholas surprised. Nicholas followed the sudden movement of the car and was forced to hold on to the side of the door, he looked angrily at Noel and shouted, "Are you crazy, hm? I almost hit my head you know."Noel's laughter sounded mocking. But he didn't look away at all and remained focused on the street in front of him. The streets of New York City were still as crowded as ever, mainly because people were starti

CHAPETR 206The revelation hung in the air like a big secret, and suddenly it hit Nicholas. "Wait! This adds another layer to the mystery we're looking for. If Alicia doesn't marry at 27, does that mean all her assets will go elsewhere?"Felix nodded thoughtfully, "Yes, it's all written in the letters of legacy. Madame Michelle appointed Christine as her replacement if Alicia refused to accept all the conditions she gave. An unusual condition, but they strongly believe in family and commitment. This is absolute and non-negotiable, as this letter has been signed and stamped through the legal process."Noel, who sensed the danger in this situation, leaned forward. "We need to find out who will receive the benefits, if Alicia doesn't get married. It could be someone who has a motive to disrupt the relationship or even put her in danger. And what about the children's hospital? Is there a connection we might have missed?"As the trio digs deeper into family secrets, corporate ties, and con

CHAPTER 207"I want to ask, why does Alicia have to get married? Aren't there a lot of female CEOs out there working, running their companies without marriage and family? This sounds unreasonable for a special requirement in the company."Noel nodded in agreement, "Nicholas is right. Marriage and company, what's the connection between those two different things? It doesn't make sense. Even a company organizes someone's marriage?"Felix chuckled, he sorted out the sheets of paper containing the financial records, gathered them together, then put them in a folder and the folder he put in his black tote bag. Felix's hands were intertwined on top of the black bag, before he finally looked at the two detectives who were looking at him curiously."You guys are right. But, I can't do much for tradition and the request for marriage was written in the family inheritance papers, Mrs. Michelle had even made a power of attorney to make the inheritance papers official and valid in the eyes of the

CHAPTER 208Anna hesitated, choosing her words carefully when dealing with Noel and Nicholas. "I can't say for sure, but Madame Michelle often mentioned a legacy , a vision that she wanted Alicia to fulfill. It involves not only running the company but also guarding it from unseen dangers. There is something Madame Michelle is hiding from all of us."Nicholas crossed his arms over his chest, looking very curious about the relationship between Star Corporation, Golden Group, and Alpha Company. He then spoke up again, "There is something we would like to know about Madame Michelle. In the five years that you have been working with her, have you discovered anything strange, anything odd, that might tend to put Michelle and her husband at risk?"Anna looked at Nicholas wordlessly, she seemed to be thinking. Because it took a few seconds, for her to finally speak up. "Don't businessmen always have competitors in the business world? It's a common thing. And, I can't determine if any of thes

CHAPTER 209Nicholas sensed a connection being made between Madame Michelle's past and her current actions. "So, this charity event isn't just about public relations for Alpha Company?"Anna nodded. "Exactly. It's an extension of Madame Michelle's mission to make a positive impact on society. She wants to leave a valuable experience to her business colleagues, that business is not just about profit and money. It is also about humanity and caring."As the detectives continued their conversation with Anna, a picture came to light of Madame Michelle as a woman driven by a deep sense of purpose. The threads of her life, intricately interwoven with family ties, corporate responsibilities, and a commitment to social causes, paint a complex portrait that is difficult to categorize easily.Noel, wanting to explore the potential relationship with the Golden Group further, asked, "Did Mrs. Michelle ever mention any specific issues or disagreements with Wilson Blake that could explain their tens

CHAPTER 210Nicholas patted Peter on the shoulder, as if to say that it was no big deal and not a problem. He then looked at the nurse in front of him."There's something we'd like to ask you, it's about Mrs. Michelle Hathaway."Nicholas introduced himself and explained their interest in understanding Mrs. Michelle's contribution to the hospital and her possible connection to the missing children. The nurse, after checking with the hospital administration, guided them to a conference room where they could discuss the matter in private.As the detectives sat across from the hospital representatives, they learned that Mrs. Michelle's donation had indeed been used to build a pediatric ward. The hospital staff thanked her for her generosity, and emphasized the positive impact she had on the community.Ben, the head of the hospital, was now sitting with the three detectives. Peter the junior was very enthusiastic, as this was his first experience with such a complex case at such a young ag
