Chapter 60: Untouchable Territory

Chris's voice was unwavering. "Every Council member is officially off-limits from stepping within 100 meters of any Blackwood property, business, or affiliate—including Wyne Corporation."

Ethan gave an approving nod, fingers tapping swiftly across his tablet. "That means no entry into Blackwood-controlled banks, real estate, tech hubs, or luxury chains. Even the private clubs they frequent? Off-limits." He smirked. "By morning, they'll be locked out of their own world."

Chris's expression was unreadable. "Since Wyne is now under my control, it's included in the restriction. They can't touch it. They can't access it. They don't exist in my territory anymore."

Ethan's phone vibrated. He checked it and chuckled. "They've noticed. Calls are flooding in—frantic ones." He looked up. "Some are demanding an explanation. Others? Begging."

Chris leaned back, his tone cold. "Ignore them."

Ethan smirked. "And if they try to force their way in?"

Chris's gaze sharpened. "Then they'll understand what happens when you cross Blackwood."
