Chapter 16 - THE GHOST IN THE SYSTEM🚨 THE TAPE EXPOSED! A SECRET RECORDING TURNS VESPERA'S OWN ALLIES AGAINST HER! 😱
The parachute deployed gracefully at 5,000 feet, carrying Gabriel and Leo safely onto a waiting Coast Guard cutter slicing through the choppy waters below.
Within an hour of reaching land, Gabriel did not launch another assault. He launched an information nuclear bomb.
Using the primary satellite uplink onboard the Coast Guard vessel, Gabriel broadcasted an unedited, encrypted audio stream directly to the private phones of the world’s twelve most powerful criminal syndicate bosses—the shadow council known as "The Sovereign Circle" who had quietly financed Vespera's operations for a decade.
The audio recording echoed through the speakers of billionaires and mob lords from Tokyo to London:
“The Sovereign Circle are old fools,” Vespera’s recorded voice sang out clearly from the tape Gabriel had retrieved from his father's safe. “Once I take Rowan Freight's assets, I will leak their offshore tax identities to the US Treasury and watch them rot in federal prison while I take their territory.”
Silence fell across global underworld channels.
In a luxury penthouse in Manhattan, the chairman of The Sovereign Circle closed his phone and looked at his advisors. "Freeze all of Vespera Vance’s operational accounts immediately. Put a $50 million bounty on her head."
In London, Paris, and Hong Kong, every door Vespera had ever relied on slammed shut simultaneously.
