Chapter 24 - The Interrogation BreakthroughViral Hook: In the interrogation room, Marcus breaks down and confesses where the missing billions are hidden—setting up a high-stakes treasure hunt!

"You're looking at consecutive life sentences without parole for federal economic terrorism, Marcus," Mia stated flatly. "Unless you tell us where you hid the three billion dollars you drained from my father's corporate reserves."
Marcus swallowed hard, his eyes darting frantically toward the heavy steel door. "I... I didn't keep it all for myself. I only took a percentage. The rest of the funds were pooled into a physical asset."
