The morning had started like any other, with Ezra reviewing the latest financial reports and planning the next steps for both Ascendant Capital and the Black Spider gang.
He was in his office, his shirt rolled up at the sleeves. The windows behind him offered a view of the city, but Ezra's attention was focused on the documents in front of him.
A knock on the door interrupted his concentration. Before he could respond, the door opened, and Olivia stepped in, her expression tense.
"Ezra, we have a problem," she said, her voice low.
He looked up, concern flickering in his eyes. "What is it? Silent Hand?"
"In a way." She amswered. "My feelers into authority just informed me that the Investigation Bureau is sniffing after Ascendant Capital. They're investigating our financial transactions and looking into our clients. It's not just a routine audit. They suspect something."
