Chapter 122 - the invisible breach
Michael Jr. did not panic or shout. Inheriting the terrifyingly cold composure of his father, Noah, he immediately caught Marcus Jr.'s eye across the crowded ballroom. A single, imperceptible nod was exchanged between the two men.
"Chloe, take Lily to the subterranean vault right now," Michael Jr. whispered softly, handing his wife a concealed tactical sidearm from his tuxedo jacket. Chloe didn't hesitate or ask questions. She moved with the silent, lethal grace of a true queen, grabbing her daughter's hand and slipping seamlessly into the shadows of the marble corridor.
Suddenly, the heavy glass skylights of the grand ballroom violently shattered inward. Dozens of elite, heavily armed paramilitaries dressed in unmarked tactical gear repelled directly onto the polished floor. They moved with a terrifying, synchronized military precision, far surpassing any cartel or street syndicate the Carters had ever faced.
The wealthy guests screamed in sheer terror, scrambling frantically for the exits. The lead operative, a towering man with a brutal scar across his jaw, raised an advanced suppressed assault rifle, aiming directly at the retreating figures of Chloe and Lily.
