Chapter 214: The Phantom’s Gambit

The world was in chaos. Stocks had plummeted, powerful families were scrambling, and whispers of a mysterious figure manipulating the markets had spread like wildfire.

Ochieng knew this wasn't just another competitor. This was someone playing on an entirely different level.

In the highest penthouse of a secluded skyscraper, Luxford, Zevrak, and Valdric gathered. The room was dimly lit, the tension thick.

"We underestimated him," Luxford admitted. "Whoever the Phantom is, he just erased over 300 billion from circulation overnight."

Valdric's eyes gleamed with intrigue. "And he did it without lifting a finger. That's true power."

Zevrak smirked. "And you're afraid?"

Luxford's gaze sharpened. "Afraid? No. But I do respect a man who can change the world with a single keystroke."

Ochieng stepped into the underground casino, the scent of wealth and desperation thick in the air. Tonight wasn't just about money—it was about control.

By his side, Kane, Draven, and Nyxaria moved with precision. The elites at the tables barely noticed their presence.

Then, a woman in a blood-red dress walked toward Ochieng.

Syvoria.

She leaned in, her lips barely an inch from his ear. "I found him."

Ochieng's expression remained unreadable, but his heart raced.

"Where?"

Syvoria's smirk was laced with danger. "Tokyo. And he's expecting you."

Tao stood at the edge of a rooftop, staring down at the neon-lit city. Behind him, a figure emerged from the shadows.

The Phantom.

His voice was smooth, calculated. "They're coming for me."

Tao nodded. "And what do you want me to do?"

The Phantom chuckled. "Nothing. Let them come. This is just the beginning."

Ochieng boarded his private jet, the engines roaring to life. As he took his seat, he glanced at his phone—an anonymous message had just arrived.

"Welcome to Tokyo, Ochieng. Let's see if you can keep up."

His grin widened. "Now this… this is going to be fun."
