Chapter 21 - THE OMEGA SYNDICATE
The sniper leaped down from the balcony with effortless grace, landing silently on the stone floor.
He pulled off his tactical mask, revealing a battle-scarred face with sharp gray eyes.
"Uncle Marcus?" Emily gasped, her gun lowering slightly.
"Marcus Senior..." Julian whispered, staring at his thought-to-be-dead uncle. "You're alive?"
"I had to stay dead to protect you both," Marcus Senior spoke, his voice deep and raspy from age and battle.
"How is this possible?" Julian asked, his mind struggling to process the revelation. "Your car went over the cliff in Monaco!"
"It was staged," Marcus Senior explained, turning his sharp gaze toward the wounded Victoria groaning on the floor. "The Omega Syndicate threatened to execute Evelyn if I didn't disappear."
"Omega Syndicate?" Julian repeated. "Arthur Sterling was working for them?"
"Arthur was just a middleman," Marcus Senior revealed, stepping over to inspect Victoria. "The real leader of Omega sits in the US Senate."
Emily looked at her father, tears filling her eyes as she rushed forward to embrace him.
"I thought I lost you forever," she sobbed softly into his shoulder.
"You've been so brave, my daughter," Marcus Senior whispered, patting her back gently. "You kept the family safe."

"They're preparing a hostile government seizure of Vance Global by midnight tomorrow," Marcus Senior warned. "We have twenty-four hours to stop them."
