Chapter 21 - ghosts from the past
Fifteen years passed, and the Carter empire was not only the most powerful force on the East Coast but had also transitioned into legitimate sectors. Peace seemed to have become a given in the lives of Michael and Emily.
Noah was now a smart, courageous fifteen-year-old teenager. He always held absolute respect for Michael, and considered Emily as his biological mother who had given him this beautiful second life.
However, grievances in the underworld never truly vanish. They only temporarily sink to the bottom, waiting for the perfect opportunity to rise and sow terror upon those sleeping at the pinnacle of glory.
One brilliantly sunny morning, while Emily was preparing breakfast, the estate's highest-level security alarm suddenly shrieked. Michael immediately drew the handgun hidden under the table, shielding his wife and son.
Through the security camera system, Marcus reported in an incredibly tense voice: "An unidentified convoy just breached the outer perimeter. They are heavily armed and heading straight for the main building."
