Chapter 21 - INTERROGATION AT DAWN
By sunrise, Kane was secured in the heavily reinforced basement interrogation room beneath the Thorne estate.
Marcus sat across a steel table from the bruised mercenary, his charcoal grey suit spotless despite the forest hunt.
"Who sent you, Kane? Give me a name, and I might let the federal authorities handle your extradition," Marcus offered calmly.
Kane spat blood onto the concrete floor, laughing hoarsely with defiant arrogance.
"You think cutting off one head of the Syndicate stops anything? The Director is already waiting for you in Los Angeles," Kane mocked.
Marcus did not raise his voice; he simply signaled Vance to hand him a secure satellite telephone.
"Vance, initiate total asset seizure on every shell company registered in Delaware under the Syndicate's alias," Marcus commanded.
Kane’s arrogant laughter died instantly in his throat as he realized Marcus was destroying their entire financial foundation.
"You... you can't access their primary offshore accounts! They're buried under triple encryption!" Kane stammered in panic.

"There is no encryption on earth that can withstand a billion-dollar forensic audit backed by my legal team," Marcus replied smoothly.
