Adam ended the call with Darien and lowered the phone.
He stayed sitting on the bed.
The money side had moved better than he expected. Five billion meant Adam could move where people listened only to numbers.
But money did not solve every problem.
That thought came as soon as the call ended.
Adam's fingers slowly tightened around the phone.
'Rovan is gone.' Adam thought.
Rovan had been dirty and afraid, but he had still been useful. Because he was inside the police department, Adam could make small official things move.
Now that line was cut.
If Adam wanted someone hit from the outside, he only had Gonda and Bruno left.
Both were useful, but both were dangerous in their own way.
Gonda had men and fear around his name. If Adam needed pressure on roads or gangs, Gonda could still move. But Gonda did not trust the unknown organization Adam had created, and Adam did not trust him either.
Gonda had already tried to move against him once.
