Marcus Sterling pulled a sleek titanium tablet from his briefcase, tapping the screen twice with a swift motion.
“Just liquidated the first corporate holding account associated with Vance Construction,” Marcus announced casually.

Across the room, several high-society guests pulled out their smartphones as emergency banking alerts flooded their screens.
