The car rolled to a slow stop in front of a secluded estate, hidden deep within the outskirts of the city.
At first glance, it looked like an old, ordinary, two-story structure surrounded by high walls and overgrown trees. But the security told a different story.
Cameras were tucked into blind corners. Motion sensors lined the perimeter. Armed men stationed in the shadows.
This wasn't a house. It was a fortress.
Jiang stepped out of the car first, his legs trembling slightly. Beneath his shirt, wires pressed against his skin.
The bomb was strapped around his waist. With each breath, he could feel the weight of it.
Behind him, Dominic stepped out. In his hand was the remote. One wrong move, and he would press the button. Within seconds, Jiang would be blown up.
Fear clawed at his chest, suffocating him. He could think of nothing but how to survive. For that, he was ready to betray his father.
Dominic's eyes gleamed behind the mask.
The hunt wasn't over. It had just begun.
