Chapter 20 - Absolute LiquidationThe heavy thudding against the front door suddenly stopped. On the monitors, the glow of red and blue police sirens instantly illuminated the manicured lawns.
Federal agents and local tactical units swarmed the property, dragging Marcus's hired muscle to the ground before they even had a chance to drop their crowbars. The physical threat was neutralized in less than three minutes.
I turned my attention back to the primary monitor. The PyInstaller script had achieved 100% penetration.
Administrator Rights: Recovered.
Proxy Network: Severed.
Stolen Funds: Redirected.
I didn't just take my pages back. I initiated a forced liquidation of Marcus's offshore accounts. Every single dollar he had stolen—and every dollar he had saved in his miserable, treacherous life—was instantaneously routed into an irrevocable charitable trust for domestic abuse survivors.
I walked upstairs, the heavy steel shutters slowly retracting to let the afternoon sunlight flood back into the house. I opened the panic room door. Harper exhaled a long, shaky breath and pulled me into a fierce embrace, while Leo immediately demanded a snack, entirely unfazed by the chaos outside.
An hour later, I stood on my front porch, watching a tow truck drag the shattered remains of the unmarked vans off my property.
My phone buzzed. It was a live video feed sent from my security chief at the city office. Marcus was being led out of the glass building in handcuffs, his expensive suit rumpled, his face buried in his chest as the entire staff watched his absolute humiliation. He had lost his job, his money, his freedom, and his dignity in less than four hours.
I locked the screen and slid the phone into my pocket.
I looked down at the solid, unyielding concrete beneath my feet. I had built a life that could not be shaken. I had engineered an empire that punished betrayal with total, permanent destruction.
