Chapter 268

The helicopter descended onto the heli-pad, its blades slicing viciously through the night air, stirring the shadows like a whirlwind of doom.

As Henry's lifeless body was carried from the craft and laid before Conrad Dupont, Conrad felt as though a thunderbolt fuad cleaved his soul in half.

His face drained instantly of color, turning as white as a death shroid.

"Who did this?" Conrad's voice erupted in an anguished roar, echoing across the landing pad.

His eyes were wild, rimmed with red veins of fury, his entire frame trembling like a cornered beast.

"Who dared spill Dupont blood?"

"It-it was a man named Alex," stammered his secretary, flinching under the weight of Conrad's feral gaze.

"He's Kelly Kingston's bodyguard.”

"Alex, you miserable piece of filth!" Conrad howled, teeth grinding audibly, spittle flying from his lips.

"You murdered my son-I'll rip your bones apart! I'll skin you alive!" Each word was laced with a promise of savage retribution.

"Send out the word!" Conrad barked.

"I want every resource we have scouring every street, every shadow, every sewer! Find that bastard! Tear him apart first, then gut Kelly Kingston!"

His voice was raw, bloodlust unhinged. "They'll both pay with their lives!"

Meanwhile, beneath the moonlight that painted a deceptive peace over the city gardens, Alex and Kelly sat calmly on a bench, sharing a modest snack.

Alex spoke quietly into his phone. "Carlos, use Vancouver's underworld to swallow Vermont. Fast. Leave nothing to chance." "Can I just stick a gun to Jericho Kane's head?" Carlos asked bluntly. "It'd speed things up-he knows every rat in Vermont."

"Do it your way," Alex said coldly.

"But if he refuses, tell me. I'll handle him personally."

Ending the call, he glanced casually at Kelly. "Your move?"

"I've unleashed Kingwell operatives throughout Vermont," Kelly replied calmly, her eyes reflecting ruthless determination. "They're exposing every corrupt official. And if the businessmen ignore my warnings, I'll crush them as well."

"Perfect." Alex took a bite of bread, chewing slowly, savoring the impending storm.
