Chapter 33 - the shadow offensive
The Cipher Syndicate did not wait for Carter to respond to their vile extortion. Within exactly twenty-four hours of the drone's arrival, they launched a massive, coordinated global offensive designed to completely cripple the real estate foundation.
A sophisticated cyber-virus systematically infected the navigation grids of three primary cargo hubs in Europe, permanently freezing thousands of tons of critical medical and commercial supplies directly on the tarmac.
Simultaneously, heavily funded shell companies launched a devastating public relations smear campaign. They fabricated massive safety scandals to destroy Carter's global reputation and quickly tank his stock prices.
The Syndicate fully expected the king to panic, beg for a secret negotiation, and surrender his multi-billion-dollar fleet to stop the bleeding. They severely underestimated the lethal brilliance of the man they were attacking.
