Marcus arrived home and Natalie was already waiting for him, holding a tablet in one hand. The moment she saw him, she straightened up and walked forward to meet him.
However, it was obvious that Marcus was furious. His breathing was heavy, his jaw was clenched, and his expression was dark with anger. He hadn’t even bothered to greet her properly before speaking.
“Who is the bastard that dared touch Julia’s project?” he demanded, his voice filled with rage. “I swear, I wil make sure they regret ever doing it! Whoever is responsible is going to pay p>
Natalie nodded, understanding exactly how angry he was. “But it won’t be easy, Marcus p>
Marcus turned toward her.
“What do you mean p>
Natalie took a deep breath before explaining.
“The people responsible are members of the Yakuza. They’re known as the Kurogane Syndicate, a Japanese criminal organization that recently established a presence in New York City. They have branches in almost every major city across several countries, and their influence is considerable. Although they’ve only just settled here, they’ve already recruited a large number of people. Several local gangs and independent criminals have started joining them p>
Marcus narrowed his eyes.
“Why would they attack Julia’s project p>
Natalie shook her head.
“That’s what I haven’t been able to figure out. I don’t know what their motive is, but one thing is certain: these people are dangerous. I’ve managed to locate their hideout, but there’s something you need to understand before we make any move p>
She turned her tablet toward him.
“The place looks like an abandoned industrial factory from the outside, but it’s actually their main base of operations. According to the information I’ve gathered, there are currently at least one thousand men inside that compound alone p>
Marcus frowned. “One thousand p>
Natalie nodded.
“And that’s not all. They have military-grade equipment, heavily armed guards, and several vehicles stationed around the property. This isn’t some ordinary street gang. They’ve established themselves quite quickly, and they’re already building a powerful network in the city p>
Marcus sighed and went silent for a moment. He looked at the information on Natalie’s tablet, his expression becoming increasingly cold.
After a few seconds, he finally spoke. “No matter who the hell they are, I’m taking them down p>
Natalie looked at Marcus, “You usually keep your cool, but you are so much angry with this p>
“Do you have any idea what could have happened?” Marcus interrupted, his voice rising, “Julia was personally supervising that project. Those bastards stormed the place, opened fire, and destroyed everything! The incident

nearly made her collapse. She was so distressed that she fainted right in front of me p>
paused, taking a deep breath. “And I just found out she’s pregnant p>
Natalie’s expression immediately changed.
“What p>
Marcus nodded. “Yes. She’s three weeks pregnant p>
For a moment, Natalie didn’t say anything. She simply stared at him, seemingly struggling to process the information.
“Julia is pregnant? for you p>
“Yes,” Marcus replied. “She’s carrying my child p>
He looked away, his fists tightening.
“What if those bastards had hurt her? What if something had happened to her or the baby? Do you understand what that means? She’s pregnant, Natalie! My wife is pregnant p>
Natalie remained silent for a moment. Marcus noticed something unusual in her expression. Rather than looking genuinely happy, her face seemed to fall slightly, and there was something in her eyes that he couldn’t quite understand.
He frowned.
“What’s the matter p>
Natalie immediately changed her expression and forced a smile.
“Nothing. I’m just surprised. Wow! You’re going to be a father soon p>
Marcus studied her briefly before nodding.
“Yes. And that’s another reason I have to deal with this gang. I won’t allow anyone to threaten my family p>
He reached into his pocket and brought out his phone. Scrolling through his contacts, he located a particular number and immediately dialed it.
Natalie watched him as he raised the phone to his ear.
The call connected after a few seconds.
“Hello, Mr. President p>
Meanwhile, It was already dark. late at night.
A long black limousine was cruising along a relatively quiet road, surrounded by several security vehicles. Inside the luxurious vehicle sat the leader of the Kurogane Syndicate, a Japanese man whose influence had rapidly spread since his arrival in the city.
His name was Kenji Takahashi.
He sat comfortably in the back of the limousine, dressed in an expensive black suit. His expression was calm, and he seemed completely unconcerned about anything happening outside. Two heavily built bodyguards sat opposite

him, while another three occupied the seats beside the partition.
Outside, the security arrangement was even more elaborate. Five bodyguards were inside the limousine, while five black vans followed closely behind it, each carrying several armed men.
It was an intimidating convoy, and anyone who saw it could immediately tell that someone important wa travelling inside.
Kenji glanced briefly at his wristwatch before looking through the tinted window.
He was heading to the syndicate’s main hideout, where several of his senior men were already waiting for him
However, just as the convoy approached a particular stretch of road, something unexpected happened.
The vehicle directly in front of the limousine suddenly came to a complete stop.
The limousine driver immediately pressed his brakes, and the vehicles behind followed suit. Within seconds, the entire convoy had come to a halt.
Kenji’s eyebrows furrowed. “What the hell p>
He leaned forward slightly, looking through the front windshield. “Have we arrived? Why are we stopping p>
One of the bodyguards sitting opposite him immediately turned toward the window.
“Sir, I’ll find out p>
He exchanged a glance with another bodyguard, and both men opened the doors and stepped outside. They immediately began walking toward the vehicle in front of them to find out what was happening.
The moment the two bodyguards stepped out and walked forward, they immediately noticed something unusual. Four black cars had been positioned across the road, completely obstructing their path and preventing the convoy from moving any further.
“What the hell is this?” one of them muttered.
Within seconds, the guards inside the other five vans sprang into action. Their doors swung open, and heavily armed men rushed out, spreading across the road with their weapons raised. Some positioned themselves beside the vehicles while others moved forward, forming a defensive line.
The leader of Kenji’s security detail stepped forward, his rifle firmly in his hands.
“Whoever you are, you’d better move out of our way!” he shouted. “You have no idea who you’re dealing with! Try any funny movement, and we’ll blow every single one of you to pieces p>
But nobody responds, no one from the cars came out.
The head of Security then raised his hand.
Instantly, three men suddenly stepped forward, each carrying an RPG launcher. They positioned themselves behind the armed guards, ready to unleash an attack at the slightest provocation.
The security leader narrowed his eyes.
“Last warning! Move those vehicles p>
Just then, the door of one of the black cars slowly opened.
A man stepped out.

He was dressed in an expensive black suit, with a perfectly tailored white shirt underneath. His black leather sees touched the asphalt as he calmly adjusted his wristwatch. He then straightened his suit jacket and stepped forward, his expression completely indifferent to the dozens of weapons pointed in his direction.
It was Marcus.
He slowly raised his head, looking at the armed men standing before him. His expression was cold, and were wasn’t even the slightest trace of fear in his eyes.
Behind him, the doors of the other cars began opening as several men stepped out.
Marcus took another step forward. “Which one of you is Kenji Takahashi p>
