Chapter 412: The Fall of a Kingmaker

Ethan Carter

The Prime Minister had no idea his time was up.

He carried himself like a ruler, a man who believed he had outmaneuvered everyone. But he had made a mistake—he had gotten too comfortable.

And comfort led to blind spots.

I had spent weeks gathering everything I needed. Secret financial records, hidden accounts, backdoor deals that would ruin him. But information alone wasn't enough.

I needed to control the narrative.

If I moved too aggressively, the world would demand to know who had the power to remove him. If I played it too safe, he might see it coming and retaliate.

Chris had ordered his removal.

But Chris wasn't here.

Which meant this had to be done my way.

The Setup

I moved silently through the halls, slipping into my office, where my most trusted informant was waiting. A man who worked deep in the system, unnoticed, unheard.

I slid a file across the table. "It's time."

He glanced at the documents, eyes widening slightly. Good. I needed him to understand the weight of what we were doing.

"This will bury him," he said.

"That's the point."

I leaned back in my chair, fingers tapping against the wood. "We release the financial records first. Let the media latch onto it. Then, once he's scrambling, we drop the bribery scandal. Make it impossible for him to recover."

The man hesitated. "And if he tries to fight back?"

I smiled, but it wasn't friendly.

"He won't get the chance."

The Trap is Set

By the time the sun rose the next day, the first wave of leaks had already begun. News outlets buzzed with speculation. Reporters hounded officials for statements. The Prime Minister's allies were too slow to respond, caught off guard by the sudden attack.

And then came the second wave.

The proof of bribery. The hidden accounts. The undeniable evidence.

It spread like wildfire.

Within hours, the government was in crisis mode. Meetings behind closed doors. Officials scrambling to distance themselves. The perfect storm.

And I watched it all unfold from the shadows.

Chris,you gave the order.

Now watch me execute it perfectly.
