Chapter 55

In the center of the grand hall, fifteen terrified guests huddled together-the ones

who hadn't managed to escape when chaos erupted.

Nearby, five of Kingston's bodyguards lay wounded, their groans of pain underscoring the tense silence.

On the Walkers' side, only thirty men remained of the original forty; the rest had fallen during the fierce firefight with Kingston's guards.

"I suggest none of you make any sudden moves, Calvin warned.

"No one has to get hurt. We don't want to damage our merchandise. Each of you is priceless."

He initiated a video call, turning the camera to focus on Jasmine Kingston among the hostages.

"Father, we've secured Jasmine Kingston," Calvin reported

"Excellent," Lucas Walker replied.

"The police are en route to your location, blocking all roads out. It's safer to stay put. Use the hostages as leverage."

"Yes, Father."

"We'll use Jasmine to force Alfred Kingston to surrender his position in Vancouver," Lucas continued.

"We're negotiating with him now. Just hold tight, and victory will be ours." "Understood, Father," Calvin affirmed before ending the call.

He surveyed the room as his men collected weapons from the fallen guards. "Ten of you, keep an eye on them," he ordered, nodding toward the hostages. "The rest, secure this place. Block the entrances with our cars. We need to hold out for a few hours. Alfred will have no choice but to hand over his position."

Meanwhile, across the city at the Vancouver port terminal, Alfred Kingston stood face-to-face with Lucas Walker.

Alfred had tracked down the kidnappers, uncovering Lucas as the mastermind behind his daughter's abduction.

He'd mobilized all of Kingston's special forces, determined to bring down this underworld kingpin and dismantle his operations.

But Lucas had become a far greater threat than Alfred had anticipated.

Alongside his gangsters stood another force-Sinclair's special unit from Los Angeles-matching Kingston's own army in strength.

The situation was a stalemate.

"I never knew you were working with Sinclair," Alfred said.

"Alfred, you're too powerful to take on alone. So I called in a favor
