Chapter 7 - Miriam Meets With A Shadowy Corporate Syndicate Contact
Miles away in a secluded booth at an upscale members-only cigar lounge, Miriam waited anxiously in the shadows.
The velvet curtains parted slowly, revealing Victor Vance, the ruthless head of the regional corporate syndicate.
“Conrad has been arrested by federal marshals, and our surveillance device was recovered by Domenico,” Miriam whispered frantically.
Victor took a slow puff from his Cuban cigar, exhaling a thick cloud of blue smoke into the dim air.
“Conrad was always a clumsy fool who couldn't handle a simple intimidation tactic,” Victor remarked with icy disdain.
“If Domenico uncovers the syndicate’s financial records hidden inside that football project, we are all finished,” Miriam warned.
“Let Conrad take the fall; he knows better than to cross us if he wants his family protected,” Victor instructed coldly.
