Chapter 46 - the syndicate confession
Pinned to the marble floor with a broken wrist, Julian gasped for air, his arrogant composure completely shattered into a million pieces of sheer, unadulterated terror.
"Kill me if you want!" Julian choked out, coughing up a small trace of blood. "It won't stop the Board! The syndicate has already initiated the final phase! Dominic's entire energy grid will collapse by midnight!"
I stepped forward, pressing the heel of my boot firmly against Julian’s uninjured hand, applying just enough pressure to remind him who was in control. "What final phase, Julian? Speak before I break your other arm."
"A synchronized cyber and physical assault on the central hydroelectric dam!" Julian screamed hysterically, crying out in pain. "We hacked the automated floodgates! If the dam overflows, half of Chicago will drown, and the Sterling empire will be held legally and financially responsible!"
