The name on the document felt like a punch to the gut. Claire, Sophie’s most trusted friend and confidante, implicated as a mole for the Aegis Consortium.James paced the length of the office, the tension in his every step palpable. Sophie sat at the desk, staring at the folder as if willing its contents to change.“This can’t be right,” she whispered, shaking her head. “There has to be a mistake. Claire wouldn’t do this. She wouldn’t betray us.”James stopped pacing, his expression hard. “The evidence is clear, Sophie. Ethan’s team tracked the leaks, and every trail leads back to her. We can’t ignore it.”Sophie looked up at him, her voice trembling. “She’s family, James. She’s been with us from the start. If we accuse her without proof beyond this, we risk losing everything including her.”James crouched in front of her, taking her hands in his. “I know this is hard.

Cipher’s decryption efforts had unveiled Wolfe’s vast empire, but it also revealed the depth of his power. Gideon Wolfe wasn’t just a billionaire puppet master, he was a shadow ruler with influence in every corner of the globe.“We have enough here to implicate him in arms trafficking, political bribery, and more,” Cipher said, scrolling through lines of incriminating documents. “But there’s a problem. Wolfe has contingencies. If we expose him without neutralizing his immediate assets, he’ll retaliate before the world even blinks.”Sophie nodded, her eyes narrowing. “Then we need to dismantle those contingencies first. What are his most critical operations?”Cipher pulled up a map, marking key locations. “Three major sites: a weapons depot in Eastern Europe, a secret financial hub in Dubai, and a research facility in South America that’s tied to advanced surveillance technology.
